One hundred years ago Providence was
known the world over as great mart OF
trade and the sails OF her ships whit
eIed ever sea. The foundations OF many
large fortunes now possessed by citizens
were laid from the commerce OF the port
manufacturing. and the foreign trade was
permitted to dwindle TO almost nothing
A few years ago efforts were made 20
establish a packet service for passengers
and freight with the Cape de Verde ISL
ands. few small vessels making irregu-
lar sailings to the islands, their business
being confined principally to bringing i'm
migrants to this country.
Efforts TO establish a paying trade be-
tween Providence and the islands, taking
out the products OF local manufactures
and bringing back the products OF the
islands and OF the west coast OF Africa,
have been frequently made, but although
there Is a big demand for the goods OF
both countries the efforts have never
been successful. owing to the wrong meth
DDS employed.
The Inhabitants of the islands of the
west coast OF Africa, including the Azores,
the Canaries and the Cape de Verde. and
alse on The continent itself, are a peculiar
people. They are OF mixed Portuguese
and negro blood. very largely. and are

WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU.
Few People Realize the Importance of Good Digestion Until It Is Lost.

Many people suffer from dyspepsia and do not know it. They feel mean, out of sorts, peevish, do not sleep well, do not have a good keen appetite. do not have the inclination and energy for physical or mental work they once had, but at the same time do not feel any particular pain or distress in tho stomach. Yet all this is the result of poor digestion, an insidi- ous form of Dyspepsia which can only be cured by a remedy specially intended to cure it and make the digestive organs act naturally and properly digest the food eaten. Bitters, after dinner pills and nerve tonics will never help the trouble; they don't reach it. The new medical discovery does It Is called Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets and Is a specific for dyspepsia and indigestion. It cures because 1t thoroughly digests all whole some food taken into the stomach. wheth- CT the stomach Is in good working order or not.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by digesting the food. instead of making the worn out stomach do all the work, gives 1t much needed rest and a cure of dyspepsia is the natural result.
 When you are nervous, run down and sleepless, don't make the common mis- take of supposing your nervous system neeuS tTedlHenL anu HI yOut stOuldCn with powerful nerve tonics which mako you feel good for little while only to fall back farther than ever.
 Your nerves are all right but they are starN ed, they want food.
 Nourish them with wholesome every day food and plenty of it, well diGested. and you can laugh at nerve tonics and medicine.
 But the nerves will not be nourished from a weak, abused stomach, but when the digestion has been made perfect by the use of this remedy all nervous symp- toms disappear.
 Who ever heard of man or woman blessed with a vigorous digestion and good appetite being troubled with their nerves7
 Good digestion means a strong nervous system abundance of energy and capacity tD enjoy the good things of life.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will cer- tainly set your stomach and digestive or gans right; they cPn't help but do 1t be- cause they nourish the body by digest ing the food eaten. and rest the stomach.
 You get nourishment and rest at one and the same time, and that is all the woSn out dyspeptic needs to build him up added zes to every pleasure.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are god send to the army of men and women with weak stomachs, weak nerves and justly merits the claim of being one of the most worthy medical discoveries of the time

PREP PAIRING
 REVENUE BILL State Board Meets at the
 Capitol. CREATED BY CONSTITUTION Formulating a Measure to Be Presented 10 Legislature. Officials of the State Seek Assistance from County Tax Officers in
 Drawing Up a General
 < Revenue Law. l..

The State Board of Revenue, which was created by the new Constitution, met yesterday in the office of Auditor Ihomas l.. Sowell to begin it's work or preparing a revenue bill for presentation to the Legislature.
 The Board is composed of Governor Jelks, Attorney General Charles c. Brown and Auditor Thomas L. Sowell.
 The Board is charged with the duty of preparing the general revenue bill for the Legislature. The revenue bills of pre- yious Legislatures have been rather has, tily prepared and hastily considered Their consideration has come along in the closing days of the session when hurry was necessary.
 It was the intention of the framers of the Constitution to have the State officers. most familiar with the business details of the State to carefully prepare the general revenue bill. The bill which will be sub mitted to the next Legislature will be perhaps the most carefully prepared reve- nue law ever considered by an Alabama Legislature. The revenue law will be in force for the next four years, two years longer than the other acts have been effective without change The forthcom- ing bill will be of further importance in that it will be the first revenue bill un- der the new Constitution.
 By invitation of the Board some of the Tax Assessors of the largest counties In the State have been invited to appear at the Board meetings and offer sugEes- tions as to the best means of raising rev. enue for the State.
 Col. Harvey E. Jones, Tax Commission CT, attended the meeting of the Board. He will be present at all sessions of the Board in the preparation of the bill,
 With the Board yesterday were Tax Collector Phelan B. Dorian and Tax As sessor Ed Harris of Mobile, Deputy Tax Assessor Hewitt of Birmingham, Charles B. Teasley, representing Tax Assessor George W. Halls of Montgomery, Tax Col lector A. H. Eubanks of Montgomery, W. M. Blakey, Back Tax Commissioner of Montgomery County, and Back Tax Commissioner Asbury Thompson of Jef- ferson County.
 The Board SO far has only discussed the details Of the proposed revenue bill and the suggestions made. A number of sessions of the Board will be necessary before the bill assumes definite shape.

preference Is given to the first way Of spelling the word, that is terrapin, but If a man should happen to write 1t in some other way he would not be en- tirely wrong.

The harder stunt would be to write IL incorrectly. And yet 1t hap pens now and then that men hit upon the wrong way of spelling this very same word have known men to spell 1t tar rypin-but not in print.
