AN EASY WAY
To Keep We'll.

It is easy to keep we'll if we would only observe each day a few simple rules of health.
 The all important thing is to keep the stomach right and to do this 1t is not necessary to diet or to follow set rule or bill of fare. Such pampering simply makes a capricious appetite and feel ing that certain favorite articles of food must be avoided.
 Prof. Wefchold gives pretty good ad- vice on this subject He says: T am 6s years old and have never had a serious illness and at the same time my life has been largely an indoor one, but early discovered that the way to keep healthy was to keep a healthy stomach, not by eating bran crackers, or dieting of any sort: on the contrary always eat what my appetite craves, but daily for the past eight years I have made 1t practice to takc one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Table 1s after each meal and I attribute my robust health for man of my age to the regular daily use of Stuarts Tab let's
 My physician first advised me to use them because he said they were perfect ly harmless and were not a secret pat ent medicine, but contained only the nat ural digestives, peptones and diatase. and after using them a few weeks l have never ceased to thank him for his ad- vice.
 "I honestly believe the habit of taking Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is the real health habit, because their use brings health to the sick and afling and preserves health to the well and strong"
 Men and women past 50 years of age need a safe digestive after meals to in- sure a perfect digestion and to ward off disease, and the safest best known and most widely used is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
 They are found in every well regulated household from Maine to California and in Great Britain and Australia are rap idly pushing their way into popular favor. All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, full sized packages at 50 cents. and for weak stomach 50-cent pack age will often do fifty dollars worth of good.

THE MATINEE GIRL WHO WEEPs.
The Value of Knowing How to Cry BanefuI Influence of the Bachelor Girl

The first man to write romantic dramas and plays with pathetic moments in them must have either been married or tho possessor of sister or two; he must have known that there is nothing more beneficial, to most girls than good cry. If they don't get something sad enough to weep about at frequent intervals they are apt quite apt. to cry at nothing just as a sort of relief.
 Tears are also & woman's most potent weapon, for no man who has a spark of manhood under his tie con withstand a request moistened with tears: he will apologize for any fancied mistake he has made with the most undignified haste + he sees signs of approaching tears, and 1t is believed that womanlxtnd realize this advantage and use it not subsequently,.
 On the other hand the bachelor girl movement discourages che use Of tears, and in certain quarters 1t Is now consid- cred weak and unbncheior-like to give way to them. For this reason the good old melodramatic situations in plays ought to be encouraged. The heroine in the snow, the return of the hero to find his sweetheart married, the eriIng daugh- ter and the unforgiving father, and so on ell work to keep the fountain of tears from drying up. and should appear on the boards as often as possible.
 The matinee girl is quite apt to be a well-ordered young person whose guard ians have labored to keep her life free from sad affairs and painful lessons. She gets very little opportunity to weep. and 1t is necessary that she be taught the value of carefully distributed tears, for as stated above. they are a valued weapon of attack and defense Therefore 1t is possible that she ought to witness plays with pathetic situations often in oIder that the faculty for weeping grace fully may be acquired. For If the bach elor girl really does become an instjtu- tion capable of banishing tears and these good old plays fail to draw their usual tribute from the eyes of coming maidens. fond mothers may be forced to ask the principals of young ladies' finishing schools to add a course in tears which will fit their daughters to cope in after life with the most designing husbands.
 At present the romantic dramas are quite sufficient, and a capital representa- ton of a weeping girl at a matinee is contained In the Armour Packing Co.'S 1903 calendar a collection of matinee girls, each a study from life and each portraying a distinct and delightful type

SOME OLD NEGROES IN LINE
Old Confederate Soldiers Are Pleased With the Idea of Coming to 5lr- mineham Next Year and Large
 Attendance Is Expected Then

Montgomery, November 13.-(Special)- The parade of the veterans this noon was all that had been expected and more. It moved little before Il o'clock, starting from the capitol. The head of the line reached the fountain before the last files left the capitol front. showing a process sion a full half mile in length. The pro- cession wheeled around the fountain and countermarched up Dexter avenue, halt riages with prominent veterans, sponsors and maids of honor were eliminated and a solid line of twos was formed for dress parade. Wheeled to the front two deep they made a line more than fifteen hun dred feet long. over two thousand men be- ing in the ranks. Hundreds of veterans present did not march on account of age or feebleness, but their badges were thick in the crowds on the street.
 Great Crowd Out.
 There was a great crowd out to see the veterans and there was much en- thusiasm, especially among the old soldiers themselves who gave frequent vent to their feelings with the familiar rebel yell. General Joseph Wheeler and his daughter, Miss Annie, were in the procession in carriages and were warmly greeted by the people along the line. The Sons of Veterans brought up the rear of the procession, not very numerous, but conscious of having an inexhaustible store of numbers to draw from as their organi- zation progresses.
 An qtfra CtiVa faafilra 0f fha nara de WAS squad of old negroes who had followed their young masters through the war and who were the proudest men there of the title of veteran. One old fellow bore at his side a sword he had captured in a battle, and which he cherishes as the dearest of all his possessions. The long line was reviewed in due form and when ranks broke the greatest of all confederate gatherings in Alabama came to an end. The visitors began to leave on every train and tonight all but a few got away
 The Homespun Dress.
 At the reception last night Miss Fannie Gordon Murphree of Troy, a lovely 14- | year-old girl. and daughter of T. M. Mur- phree, appeared clad in a real homespun dress which came down from the war times, and sang with peculiar sweetness l and grace the old song, "The Homespun Dress Our Mothers Wore" Many of the old veterans were moved to tears by it and say 1t was the most pleasing incident of the reunion.
 The audience at the Auditorium last l night was the second largest ever as- sembled there, numbering more than 40Ot people. The veterans are well pleased with the idea of going to Birmingham next year and a great attendance may be expected.

JIM HOWARD TRIAL.
Woman Says He Was at Her House
 On Day of the Murder.

Frankfort, Ky, January 21.-In the Jim Howard trial this morning the character of James Stubblefeld, the Commonwealth's star witness. was at tackled by the defense. Four witnesses from Clay County testified that Stub blefields reputation for truth and veracity were very bad and that he was known as an immoral man.
 Miss Hattie Jones of Frankfort was a new witness. She said Howard was at her home the day of the murder and was clean shaven. The State claims that Howard wore beard that day.
 The defense this afternoon began a fight for making public the records of the Goebel reward commission and their submission to the jury. The Commonwealth resisted and while the matter was being discussed before Judge Cantrill the hour of adjourn ment arrived. It will be resumed to- morrow morning. The defense was that they be first allowed to scan the records and then determine whether or not to introduce them. Common wealth Attorney Franklin insisted that the defense call members of the com mission to the stand to get the i'm formation 1t desires.
