tons for Seasons Series
of Entertainments.
ALL ARE STRONG NUMBERS
Six Dates VIII be Filled at the
Usual Popular
Prices.

Last year there was no y. NJ. {. 4.
lecture course attempted in this city
on account of the uncertainties
brought about by the erection of the
new Illinois theatre, and many were
disappointed. This season. however,
the matter has been taken up early
and negotiations have now been clos
ed which assure to this city course
of six attractions of a character that
could not be improved upon.
The committee in charge of the ar
engagements is presided over by Fred
Titterington and includes \. ID. Spcr-
ry. o. l.. Benway. DIR. +. ii. First and
Secretary J. 5. Freeman. All of
these gentlemen have had previous
experience in arranging lecture
courses and they are all good Judges
of the sort of attractions that the
people want. No pains have been
spared in making the course one of
the strongest that could he chosen.
The financial risk involved is consid-
cradle and falls entirely upon the as
sociation, but il has been assumed
in he faith that the people want and
will patrOniZe, aS they have always
done, list of attractions with estab-
lished regulations. The prices will
be practically the same as they have
been in the past for similar series of
entertainments, although there may
be some difference made in the man
ner of reservation. None of the dates
have been definitely settled. owing
partly 10 the fact that negotiations
are still pending with the manage
meut of the Illinois theatre. where
the course will he put ON. and partly
because some of the aggrega tions Sc
cured have not been routed.

may happen.
But the workman who gives up a

value When the stomach and the all
lied organs of digestion and nutrition
are diseased the nutrition contained in
food is inlperfectly extracted and the
body fails of nutrition adequate to its
needs. The shipwrecked sailor living
upon scraps in which there is no nutri
ton is on level with the man who eats
abundant nutritious food but whose
stomach with its allied organs is dis
eased and therefore fails to extract from
the food eaten the nutrition which Is
the body's need.
SOUND STOMACH, SOUND NAN.
That is almost an axiom. The man
with a sound stomach and good diges-
ton will in ordinary be a sound man,
because the nutriment of food is the life
and strength of heart, lungs, liver, kid
neys and every organ of the body.
The first need of a weak man is to
look after his stomach and his digestion.

Livingston Hyde, president of the
Brunswick and Birmingham Railroad,
accompanied by Mr.. w. r. Garrison.
president Of the American Finance
Company Of New York, and Mr.. X. A.
Fairbairn of the banking firm OF Fair
BARN & Hillyer, came over from JekyI
Island yesterday to confer with Presi-
dent Machen of the Brunswick and Bir-
minghaTn Construction Company, Cen
eral Manager McDuffie and Attorney
Twitty. Following the conference they,
in company with Attorney Twitty and
Geeral Manager McDuffie, were driven
over the city and taken over the Bruns-
wick and Birmingham terminals. Later
they returned to the Jekyl Island Club
house, and will return to Brunswick
Monday morning to resume their tour
of inspection and meet the people of
Brunswick. In this connection the suR-
gestion has been made. and will prob
ably be acted upon, that the citizens
of Brunswick tender the Brunswick and
Birmingham officials a banquet before
they return home, the banquet to be
given under the auspices of the Board
of Trade. The citizens of this COM
munity are anxious to show the Bruns-
wick and Birmingham officials their
cordial feeling, towards them and the
banquet suggestion is the outcome of
the idea.
President Hyde stated that he was not
yet in position TO state what route the
Brunswick and Birmingham would
take, but that IL would be built rap
idly. President Machen, who has the
physical work in charge, is on the
grounds, but will return to New York
for a few days, pending the arrival OF
two cargoes of rails that are now afloat
and en- route.
The combined wealth of the above
named gentlemen would build the road

in their plans for the Brunswick and
