A GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE.
About "Blood Purifiers" and ."Tonics."

Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve and tissue in the body can be renewed in but one way, and that is, from whole some food properly digested. There is no other way, and the idea that medicine in itself can purify the blood or supply new tissues and strong nerves is ridiculous and on a par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia or indigestion is germ dis ease or that other fallacy, that a weak stomach which refuses to digest food can be made to do so by irritating and inhaming the bowels by pills and cathar- tics.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets cure indiges- tion, sour stomach. gas and bloating after meals, because they furnish the digestive principles which weak stomachs lack. and unless the deficiency of pepsin and dias- tase Is supplied it is useless to attempt to cure stomach trouble by the use of "tonics" pills" and "cath3rtics' which have absolutely no digestive power, and their only effect is to give temporary stimulation.
 One grain of the active principle in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest g. 900 grains of meat, eggs and similar foods, and experiments have shown that they will do this in n glass bottle at prop CT temperature, but of course are much more effective in the stomach.
 There is probably no remedy so uni
 yer sally used as Stuart's Tablets because it is not only the sick and ailing. but
 well people who use them at every meal to insure perfect digestion and assimila- ton of the food
 People who enjoy fair health take Stu arts Tablets as regularly as they take | their meals, because they want to keep | well. prevention is better than cure. and | Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do both; they prevent indigestion and they remove it
 where it exists. The regular use of one | or two of them after meals will demon ! strate their merit and efficiency better | than any other argument. we'd -frI-sun.

That is Frank stanton's advice.
CHILD LABOR LEGISLATION

The article in yesterdays Advertiser signed s. J. L. L., calls for an answer The writer says, Tt would be of inter- est to many to know how the Alabama club women stand on this question. " (Child labor legislation).
 In view of the fact that the Federal ton at its last two annual meetings pledged its support to the movement for legisla- tive enactment restricting child labor. the Federation has found it unnecessary to reiterate where 1t stands "on this ques- tion."
 Twice has the Federation spoken and not uncertainty. Furthermore at the con- venton of 1902. it was resolved to hold the next annual meeting in Montgomery, in February, 1903. during the sitting of the Legislature, that an opportunity might be afforded to hold conference with its members.
 It is true that during the summer the President of the Federation published an address to the club women of the State in which she suggested that "Regula- tions" on child labor among the mill men might prove more effective than leg islation. She asked for a discussion of the subject, but except for few words of protest from individuals, the Fedora ton remalned silent. strong in the posi- ton 1t had already taken on the question of child labor legislation.
 Has not the wisdom of the Federation been justified? The President, in a recent published letter, has declared that her first position was misunderstood. She is opposed to child labor, and in favor of legislation in behalf of the children, if the law can be enforced. Is there any further need for discussion of this sub ject? The Federation must preserve all it's energy for action. It will work as one body for the protection of the child of the State. P c. G.

 Is pretty hard to beat You git a thorn with every rose
 But ain't the roses sweet!
 Frank Stanton. Frank L. Stanton, of Atlanta. Geor- gia's poet laureate and author of Songs of the Soul," etc., has had published by D. Appleton & Co.,, of New York. a book of poems, Up From Georgia" It is book of poems that tell of the whols- some heart of the author, that beats with q kindly uncritical. though mis- chievous spirit for his fellow man. Up From Georgia" is dedicated to Joel Chandler Harris, with a noble re- cognition of merit from one genius to an- other, in these lines: "These echoes from the Georgia hills And violet-vales of May, That love your name, and in your fame Shine OCT the world today" A spirit that is evidenced in the first poem, The Singers when he says; There are greater deeds in the vale of Than on heights where heroes stand" And he joyously says: Chorus of Singers, The world hath need Of the humber strains that fall On the wayside lone-on the paths that
 lead
 To the light that shines for all." Frank Stanton's work is full of mans humanity for man. There is none of the tone of self pity for real, or imaginary personal trials. that are found in the Ego" poet
 When his heart aches and the bangs are chronieled by his pen, it is for all the hearts that bleed"
 In "Wedded," he writes: And this is life--the life which we must
 lead,
 A life of dire distress and sorest need; A life which longs, but vainly longs, Rest for the hands that toil-the hearts
 that bleed"
 His nature seems to find natural vent in: I'm goin' my way content. With the blue skies over me bent; An the world is right, an the world is
 wrong,
 But my heart keeps smgin thankful
 song"
 And yet when in another mood he ad- mits, that for all, - Life is. but this:
 "A glad good-morning-a goodnight
 kiss
 hope, a fear, and a falling tear A cross to clasp and a cross to bear, And laurels and thorns for the brows
 to wear!'
 When Frank Stanton drops into negro dialect he is inimitable. It has the check apron and bandana "headrag'' ring as in Oats My LII Boy." Don keer how he rompin roun'- Ell de house wd joy; Le' no play en have his way: Oats my li'l boy!'
 His beautiful faith in the faith and | love of women Is a golden thread tha runs through the entire volume. He writes in "Wedded." For women love but once, and if denied That first, sweet love, they live unsat. isfied. Clinging to 1t as to the cross of Christi | A cross whereon their hearts are cruci- fed" companionable book for bright days consoling book for dark days, and an interesting book for all days Is: "Up From Georgia" When times are bad an' folks are sad An gloomy day by day Jest try vour best at lookin' glad
 An whistle 'em away"
