The dominant vegetation existing

son that certain kinds of plants only
are found growing predominantly any

they are best fitted to survive under

an old plant region, as forest or a
prairie. vegetation of a particular sort

centuries of competition with other

may lie dormant for some time in the
soil, awaiting the clearing of the land
to germinate and grow Notice the
new plants that appear where land is
cleared of trees or sod and left to It
self. So long as the conditions in ma
ture surrounding the wild prairie
grass remain the same, they will con-
1nue to grow in about the same pro-
portions and to about the same extent.
Man, however, changes natural cOndt-
tions violently. BY breaking sod and
putting in crops he opens places
which afford room for strange plants,
weeds, the seeds of which are carried
thence to neighbOring grazing land
Even then they will not drive out the
wild grasses if the latter are left to
themselves. On the contrary, if a
farm is abandoned, weeds may riot for
few years in the broken land, but the
sod retakes the soil eventually in the
prairie regions, and the weeds are
crowded out-H- F. Roberts.

PUTTING 1T STRONG
But Doesn't II Look ReasonabIe'

This may read as though we were
putting it a little strong because 1T is
generally thought by the majority of
people that Dyspepsia in its chronic form
is incurable or practically so. But we
have long since shown that Dyspepsia
is durable nor is 1t such a difficult mat
ter as at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics. is that
they are continually derfng, starving
themselves, or going to opposite extreme
or else deluging the already over-bur-
dened stomach with Differs" after din
ner pills." etc. which invariably increase
the difficulty even If In some cases they
do give q slight temporary relief. Such
treatment of the stomach simply makes
matters worse. What the stomach wants
is rest Now how can the stomach be-
come rested, recuperated 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
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a
comparatively new remedy but it's sue
cess and popularity leaves no doubt as to-
its merit.
The Tablets will digest the food any,
way, regardless of condition of stomach.
The sufferer from Dyspepsia accord
ing to directions, is to ca, an abundance
of good wholesome food and use the tab
lets before and after each meal, and
the result will be that the food will be
digested no matter how bad your Dys-
pepsia may be, because, as before stated.
the tablets will digest the food even IL
the stomach is wholly inactive. To illus
trate our meaning plainly, if you take
1900 grains of meat, eggs or ordinary
food and place 1t in temperature of 9S
degrees, and put with it one of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets it will digest the meat
or eggs almost as perfectly as If the
meat was enclosed within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak yet
these tablets will perform the work of
digestion, and the body and brain will
be properly nourished and at the same
time a radical, lasting cure or Dyspepsia
will be made because tine mucn abused
stomach will be given. to some extent,
a much needed rest Your druggist will
tell. you that, of all the many remedies
advertised to cure Dyspepsia none Of
them have given so complete and general
satisfaction as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's, and not least in Importance in these
hard times is the fact that they are
also the cheapest and give the most good
for the least money.

influences have prevented meetings of the
committee created at Birmingham Sep
TENDER 16, by the conference composed
of delegates eliminated from that So
called republican state convention, and
although three attempts have been made
on the part of republicans to induce the
committeeman to assemble, the efforts
were unavailing, thus demonstrating
very clearly that the committee will
never meet until advised to do so by fed
eral officers, whose oppression 1t was Or
ganized to oppose by meeting prior to the
late election and outlining policy agree

Roosevelt and the administration. a duty,

ONE Of the iavorite stories OF the late
DE Forest Douglass. the inventor of the
artificial wooden leg, was about the
tramp tree" A tramp stuck his willow
staff in the ground at the edge OF brook,
and it took root and grew into tall
strong tree whose light and tough wood
was subsequently, used in the manu-.
iacture OF the artificial limbs. The man
who made the legs had been curious to
follow the fortunes of the tree and used
to say that il must have partaken of the
genius OF the tramp himself for it was
now walking over great part OF the
earth on three continents. =
