THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts on the Same suble

AlSO d TcW TdCtS On tnS 0dn1S OuDJeCr
 We hear much nowadays about health foods and hygienic living. about vegeta- rainism and many other fads along the same line.
 Restaurants may be found in the large cities where no meat, pastry or coffee Is served and the food crank is in his glory, and arguments and theories galore ad- vanced to prove that meat was never intended for human stomachs. and all most make us believe that our sturdy an- cestors who lived four score years in robust health on roast beef, pork and mutton must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health
 Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was extended to any kind from bacon to acorns.
 A healthy appetite and common sense are excellent guides to follow in matters of diet, ard a mixed diet of grains, fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best
 As compared with grains and vegeta- bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment in highly concentrated form and is digested and assimilated more quickly thar vegetables and grains
 Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject says: Nervous persons people run down in healts and of low vitality should eat meat ana pie0ly Vl IL. II the sulStSiiOfl is too feeble at first 1t may be, easily corrected by the regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal Two of these excellent tablets taken after din- ner digest several thousand grains of meat, eggs or other animal food in three hours, and no matter how weak the stom- aeh may be, no trouble will be experi- enced if regular practice is made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets because they supply the pepsin and diastase nec- essary to perfect digestion. and every form of indigestion will be overcome by their use.
 That large class of people who come under the head of nervous dyspeptics should eat plenty of meat and insure it's proper digestion. by the daily use of A safe, harmless digestive medicine like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed of the natural digestive principles. pepsin, diastase fruit acids and salts, which ac- tually perform the work of digestion. Cheap cathartic medicines masquerading under the name of dyspepsia cures are useless for indigestion as they have ab- solutely no effect upon the actual diges- tion of food.
 Dyspepsia in all its many forms is sim plv a failure of the stomach to digest food and. the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to make daily use at meal time of preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which Is endorsed by the medical profession and known to contain active digestive princi- ples.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 50c for full treatment.

LETTERS TO ACE>HERALD.

Editor Age-Herald: have never real ized as in the last few weeks how i'm portant and almost indispensable to community thorough-going and enter prising merchant can make his business I may say that for the last fifteen years l have been buying practically every thing that I needed in the way of wear ables' Gas he puts it) of Louis Saks, and It was so customary and natural for me to go. there and get exactly anything wanted. almost as quick as I could ask for it. that 1t had become simply a mat ter of course, and | never thought of the convenience and actual help of such store. But since MT. Saks has been out of business, on account of his great misfortune by fire, have had ample op- portunity to contrast his store service and manner. of conducting business with that of the othre merchants, and I can now see why 1t was that Saks' store was always full of customers. I guess thousands of people when I say l feel something like 'an orphan without Louis Saks and his mammoth store have about the same feeling of homeless ness and dissatisfaction that the lord of the household, experiences on "house- cleaning days.
 One of many similar experiences of mine will illustrate what I mean. The other day I started out to purchase some Inexpensive lightweight mixed under wear and l tried almost every store in town without finding what l wanted. Some stors had something like I wanted, but did not have my size Others want ed to "give me something else just as good" but all of them wanted 25 to 50 per cent more. for something just as good"
 I think the people ought to get up some kind of a jellifcation on the day that 5aks re-opens his store.

COAL TO BE CUT
 BY ELECTRICITY
CORONA COMPANY INSTALLING FIRST ELECTRIC CHAIN CUT TIERS IN THE soUTH-TWo HUM DRIED MORE MINERS NEEDED.

The Corona Coal and Iron company, which operates mines at Corona, Patton, Coal Valley and Lockhart, is installing g s5O,oOO electric plant at Corona, which will include coal cutting machines, known as chain cutters. These cutters will be the first electrical devices of the kind ever operated in Alabama. It is un- derstood that similar devices will be In- stalled at Nauvoo later on. It is said that plant made a special effort to start at Corona on account of the exceptionally favorable conditions of the seam of coal there. MT. Rowe of the General Electric company, and perhaps other experts, will visit Corona to see the chain cutters in operation.
 Two electric locomotives will also be operated at Corona, and it is said they are to be models of modern ingenuity.
 J. B. Finley, president of the Mongehela River Consolidated Coal and Coke com pany, is president of the Corona Coal and Iron company. When his syndicate purchased the Patton. Corona, Coal Val ley and Locllhart properties more than q year ago, development on large scale was promised, and the company has, it is said, fully come rp to its promises. It has steadily increased the capacity of its mines.
 The company has built already 600 houses for it's miners, and many more houses are in course of construction. No miners in the country are better cared for, it is claimed by the management. than those carried on the rolls of the Co., roma company. The number of men em- ployed is already very large, but 1t is said that at least 200 additional men are needed possibly 250

Over FOur Thousand People Were Present Witnessing
 the Various Races
FASTER TIME IS MADE
 THAN WAS EXPECTED
Tomorrow the Poultry Show Will Open and There Will Be Additional Trottlng and Pacing Races.
 Memoli's Band.

Better racing than anyone expected took place yesterday afternoon at the fair grounds. the time being lower by half a minute than was scheduled. The 2:4o pace went to Goldcan in four heats. The horse had some trouble in distancing Pattie Ledyard. who was a close sec ond in the third and fourth heats, while Nora Pascher was second in the second heat, and Louise won the first
 The 3-minute trot went to Baron Vim cent in walk, he not being pushed ex- cept in the first heat. The. race was won in three straight heats, Renwood being second all three times, but only once was the finish so close as to exclude the daylight from between the rear wheel of the first sullSy and the front of the second horse. The Baron clearly out classed his associates In the third heat he stepped away from the field in a walk and Driver Grimes sat in his seat and calmly studied the rest of the horses, which were far behird. The dust from the heels of the first horse was blown clear of the track before the other horses reached the place from where it had been jared, and during the last heat the driver pulled his horse from the time he turned into 1he back stretch the second time.
 Larger Crowd Present.
 The crowd at the fair easily outclassed that of any other day, something over 40Oo people passing through the gates and paid their way, while large number went through on passes. It was estimated that the crowd last night would swell the number at least one-fourth more than the crowd during the day.
 It was easily the best day the fair has haG, and 1t is generally attributed to the races. Could the management have ar ranged for more running races and fewer trotting and pacing events the crowds would have been even larger. Many com plained of the races being only trotting and pacing, and it is safe to say that the hundreds of rail birds" all longed to see a good field plunging down the stretch at gallop with some good jockeys up.
 Result of Races.

How to Take Care of Your Eyes

An authority on the cz<e of the eyes
emphasizes the fact that ID this day of
reckless misuse of the eyesight, the rules
laid down must consist of warnings re-
garding things to be avoided. Here are
some Of the main rules for the care of the
eyes, which should be OF interest to every
body:
First: Do not use the eyes in poor
light. or too far from a good light.
Second: Do not have the body 10 the way
of the light, nor the light directly in front.
One is almost as bad as the other. The
ight should fall without interruption from
one side. Thi d Do not use the eyes
much when recovering from illness or when
tired. Fourth: Do not use the eyes
when the become watery. or show signs
of indistinctness of vision. Fifth: Do
not work with head bent over. This tends
to gorge the vessels OF the eyes with blood,
and to produce congestion. Sixth: Do
not read lying fiat on the back or reclin-
ing unless the book is supported in the
same relative angle and position as when
erect This is so difficult to do that it is
better not to attempt it, Seventh: Do
not go single day without glasses after
you should put them on.

Weeds in Grass Land

1t would astonish many farmers to make
an investigation of the number of weed
plants that are to be found in grass lands.
and even in meadows that are supposed
10 be in high state OF cultivation. They
are more conspicuous in the pastures, be-
cause our most common weeds will grow
on land where the cultivated grass makes
but little growth. The daisy, the rag
weed. minis and others are often to be
found by the hundred on a single square
foot in the pasture, while in spots the
thistle, milkweed and orange hawkweed
have taken almost complete possession.
But there are many in the richly MANFRED
moving, where the grasses grow so much
faster and ranker as to hide them until the
hay is taken off. Too close pasturing is
in some cases responsible for these weeds.
Some OF these larger perennials must be
dug out, root and all, before they can make
seed, or cut down so often that they will
perish because of lack of leaf growth
In some cases blowing, manuring and re-
seeding with clean seed seems to be the
only remedy. and it is not always easy to
get grass seed free from the seeds of
weeds, and course of three years in cul-
tivaton, killing every weed in the field or
around its borders, may be the only way
10 reduce their number.

As we come TO Boston in the morning
we often see crowds OF Italian women and
girls going out toward the market-garden
sections, probably to work there during
the day and return to Little Italy at night.
Though it may be walk OF three or four
miles each way, they Sc dom patronize the
electric cars, but trudge gaily along in
groups of three or four. chatting and laugh
ing as if going to picnic or other festival.
We asked gardner about them who used
to employ many boys, and he says these
women are much more reliable than The
boys. working more steadily, and not
making an excuse to get away every time
there IS baseball game in the neighbor
hood. They are very quick and careful
about the washing and the packing OF
vegetables. and not only do it neatly. but
seem to have natural talent for arrang-
ing them so that they will show their best.
or for asserting them to different grades
if hat is required. Many of them are also
GLAD to accept work at pulling the weeds
among the young plants, and, 10 fact, do
not refuse any work beyond their strength,
some of the older ones being skillful wi h
with the hoe. But it was the propensity
Of the boys to run after baseball and foo
bal games. and to scuti- wi h one another
when the boss was not in sight, that gave
the greatest impetus to the employment
of women Around many of the cities in
New York such work has been done by
the German women and girls for many
wars
