NEW FRENCH MINISTER
is FOR THE PANAMA CANAL

Paris, Nov. 0.-Ambassador Jus
serand arrived here yesterday from
Copenhagen on his first visit to Paris
since his appointment to the Wash
ington Post. He comes now to con-
fer with Foreign Minister Delcasse, in
order to receive instructions and to
arrange for. the departure of himself
and family for Washington, where he
expects to arrive early in the new
year.
AT his apartments in the Avenue
Marceau, he received the representa-
tive of the Associated Press and talk
ed interestingly on American men and
American affairs. He recalled
that while secretary to the French
embassy in London he formed the
acquaintance of the former American
ministers TO London, Lowell, Phelps
and Robert T. Lincoln. M. Jusserand
said that he had kept up his interest
in American affairs more recently by
reading American books. by studying
the American system and by a con-
slant correspondence with number
of well-known Americans. two of
whom belong to the faculty of Column
bia University.
The ambassador, referring to the
growing Importance of America in the
worlds affairs, said it was noticeable
that throughout Europe the position of
the United States as a new world s
power was everywhere recognized. He
thought that this imposed serious trials
and responsibilities on the country, and
pointed out that, while the commercial

marvellous, yet its intellectual progress
was keeping pace with it's material ad-
vance.
In this connection the ambassador
cited the growth of American UNIVERSE

Cleveland, Nov. 20.--Booker It.
Washington spoke in the auditorium
of Adelbert College tonight on the
work of the Tuskegee Institute. of
which he is the head. In part, Wash
ington said:
I'm the present condition of my race,
industrial education, in connection
with mental and moral training, is of
the highest value. The mere fact that
through our twenty-nine industries we
give our students the opportunity to
help themselves, is of great impor-
lance. The effort on the part of the
student at Tuskegee gives to him a
certain amount of self-reliance and
moral backbone that he would not
get without such an effort on his
part.
THE salvation of my race will in a
large degree be secured just in pro-
portion as it learns to put brains, skill
ana dignity into the common occupa-
tons of life; in proportion as it learns
to do a thing in an uncommon man.

working and being worked. For one

be idle is dishonorable is at the foun-

PUTTING 1T STRONG,


This may read as though we were
quitting it little strong, because 1T Is
generally thought by the majority of
people that dyspepsia in it's chronic
form is incurable or practically so. But
we have long since shown that dyspep-
STA is durable, nor is it such a difficult
matter as at first appears.
The trouble with dyspeptics Is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves or going to opposite ex-
treme or else deluging the already over
burdened stomach with .'bitters,'
latter dinner pills. ETC., which inva-
riably increase the difficulty even If in
some cases they do give a slight tenn
porary relief. Such treatment of the
stomach simply. makes matters worse
What the stomach wants is a rest. Now
how can the stomach become rested, re-
cuperated and at the same time the
body nourished and sustained
This is a great secret and this is also
the secret of the uniform success of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a
comparatively new remedy, but it's sue
cess and popularity leaves no doubt as
to it's merit.
The tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stom-
ach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia accord
ing to directions, is to eat an album
dance of good wholesome food and use
the tablets before and after each meal
and the result will be that the food
viii be digested, no matter how bad
your dyspepsia may be, because, as be-
fore stated. the tablets will digest the
food even If the stomach is wholly in
active. To illustrate our meaning
plainly, If you take / 800 grains of meat
eggs or ordinary food and place it in a
temperature of 9S degrees, and put with
il one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
IL will digest the meat or eggs almost
as perfectly as II the meat was en-
closed within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak yet

digestion and the body and brain viii

time a radical lasting cure Of dyEpep-

and on the third quarter too sandy.
There were several local entries, but
interest was for the most part CEN
tered on Cresceus, who went on the
track at o'clock. After trotting sew
era1 heats to get warmed up to bust
ness, he was let go for a mile. He
was driven by his owner George H.
Ketchum.
The crowd cheered Justify when
Cresceus made his first appearance
and when he finished his mile. Cres-

days, and on Saturday will go against
his own record to a road wagon on
the track at Idle Hour Farm, two
miles from Macon, owned by Mr.. R.
