 Dyspepsia or chronic indigestion may well be called "The American Disease" for citizens of the United States. al- though made up of people from all coun- tries on earth suffer more from this most distressing disorder than the peo- pie of any other nation. It may well be termed a distressing disorder, for it may be compared to an octopus, with the many symptoms as its tentac1es or feel ers and the victim who feels the clutch of one or many of the feelers suffers in time. not alone physically but also men tally. and many a case of suicide has been traced directly to dyspepsia as the cause. Many of us have known men who were perfectly sound financially. and perhaps the possessors of immense wealth. who gradually became despon- dent and melancholy. and who in time imagined everything to be going wrong. The close attention to business, the rush after the dollars. with little or no time in which to eat or sleep. resulted in con- stiration, headache, loss of appetite. in- somnia or inability to sleep and finally the end as above stated.
 When the octopus throws out its feel CTS or tentacles in different directions in search of prey its victim. soon to be, does not recognize the ropeiiKe arms HIS members of a powerful and relentless body, but looks upon them as separate individuals of little or no particular con- sequence. So also does tho layman and often the physician who has not thought deeply on the question of digestive dis tuTbances and disordered nutrition, re- gard tho symptoms of the disease as separate diseases and treats each one by Itself instead of destroying them all by a few well directed blows at the main body. For the nervousness and inability to sleep they give opiates-bromides. morphine, etc.; for constipation, salines. aperient waters, laxative mixtures, and pills, pills, pills. millions of pills; for loss of appetite alcoholic stimulants and bit- a tired horse; for headache, the promo this and bromc-that, and the thousands of headache powders, made up of anti fever remedies, which are used indis- oriminately and carelessIy, and often with fatal results
 These remedies tend to diminish or drive away headache, but the trouble Is that the benefit remains only as long as the remedy remains in the system. The longer people continue using them the more often they are obliged to take powder. and instead of being cured they are gradually becoming worse, their de- pendence on the powders becoming abso- lute and really constituting an addiction. Nearly every one recognizes the minor symptoms of dyspepsia or chronic indi-

PERPETUAL LIGHT.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 "The most remarkable lamp in this section of the country" said man who cruises a great deal along the coast, lis found at a lighthouse in the water area between Lake Borgne and Mississippi Sound, in a lonely, desolate, isolated spot where the fall of human feet or the dip of oars are heard only four times year. The light is some distance this side of Bay St. Louis, and is a little south of Chinchuba. It stands away out in the marsh, but can be seen from the Louis vile and Nashville railroad. It burns all the time, day and night, year in and year out. It flickers away steadily for the benefit of the mariners who frequent these waters. It is the Perpetual Light The sun and moon and stars may come and go, but the light which shines out in the dismal marsh is always the same. It is the one bright thing in a rather dismal stretch of country. Sea weeds grow-wild and rank in that region. The land, such as one may see from a rail- road train, Is a flat and treeless waste. It is without any cheerful aspect. low, gloomy, overhung by miasmatic mist and perfect prairie of wild and matted weeds of the kind which flourish in marshy regions. It Is threaded by slug gish arms of water. Once every three months this lamp is visited by a human being It is filled with oil. trimmed and put in condition to burn for three months longer. Thus 1t Is visited four times ev- cry year. It Is situated so the winds can not put 1t out. It renders good serv- ice, never explodes, never goes out never gets dinner or brighter but burns with the same steady power all the time. It has earned the name of the Perpetual Light"

IHf ONLY DAIlY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Actlon of the Rank and FIIe.

When the political history of Ala bama is brought down to and through this decade, there will stand out in 1t as a bright and shining light-a very beacon and headlight-the state pri- mary held yesterday. Not only was 1t the first state primary of Alabama, but it was the first honest election the state had known in many years. It was honest beyond question, chiefly because all ballot box wizards had been warned to keep hands off, and partly because tho new constitution in its beneficence had taken away all excuse for dishonesty. It is doubtful indeed whether a fairer election was ever held than that of yesterday, and as such it will command the obedience of every democrat in the state. A man who tramples under feet the decision of 100000 democrats will wish he had never been born. It rose far above any convention, for the whole party at tended it and participated in it, each individual of the democratic army hay ing equal voice and opportunity.
 No prophet Is needed to say that after such a wonderful example of direct popular action, there will never be another convention, state or county held in this state, so far as the demo- crats are concerned. The convention system is well adapted to the republi- can party of this state, and no doubt there will be republican conventions consisting of office holders and office seekers. But there will never be an other democratic convention in this state, for the democrats have found a better way in which to make nomina tions. The successful conduct of yes terday's primary is therefore cause for general congratulation, because it es. tablishes in this state popular rule in @hC bAO1uCob rALu Alp5l bdllbldCIOIy sense.
 When the returns are all in it will be seen that the rank and file have acted wisely in every particular. It has become an axiom in American politics that the people are the best source of political power-that they choose better judges even than a leg islature does. and that all nominations should proceed directly from them. In 1906 the primary will no doubt in- clude United States senators, for two are to be chosen, and then the pri- mary system will be in full operation in this state. It is handsomely started. It was made possible by the new con- stitution, and the revolution will go on until Alabama has ideal popular gov ernment. There will be no turning back. Yesterdays attendance ensures that much, for 100000 democrats yes terday approved and endorsed the pri- mary system.

Gave Satisfaction,

From what learned at the polls to- day, the primary plan of voting gave great satisfaction,'' said a young mer- chant last night.
