Mrs. James Hardeman
 RevIeWS New Book.

Mrs. James [. Hardeman contributes the following review of "The Oracle of Moccasin Bend" the new book by Mrs Charles P. Beddow of Birmingham:
 A story of Lookout mountain by Mrs. Charles P. Beddow of Birmingham, the advance copies of which are fresh from the Neale Publishing company of New York contains most entertaining and instructive history of the people under the shadow of Lookout today. with remln- isences of the battle above the clouds" by The Oracle of Moeeasin Bend" and old-time negro in his native dialect
 The breeziness of the narrative, it's brevity and style, suggests Bret Harte, but the trueness to life of the East Ten nessean is equal to Opie Read and l pre- dict will be as popular with the public.
 The romantic side of the story is charm ingly told and ends with a triple we'd ding under the shadow of old Lookout, that for the lapse of ages, like q one eyed Cyclops, has held guard over seven states Anecdote, song, folklore, history and fiction have all been laid under con tribution. The terse style of the book, condensed as it is, has sparkle of origin- ality and artsticness that is more effec- tive than if drawn out in a longer story.
 The main point in the book is the pac- ing of charity in broader sense than for pecunary needs and to show the diff ference in society caste now from that of ante belum days The author also pays a beautiful tribute to Birmingham her adopted home.
 The heroine of the story Azalea. child of the mountain, and uncle Steve, the Oracle are pictured true to life and the volume from the clear-cut picture of Lookout mountain to Uncle Steves vision of his last flight above the clouds is clean and pure. with high ideals.

 estine Decision in New York.

New York.

THEY ACTUALLY
 DO THE WORK
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless Di' eested-Some Stomachs Must
 Have Help.

Food taken into the stomach which from the nature of the food or the condition of the stomach, is not digested, Is worse than no food at all. This is a true state ment as far as Ii goes and great many dyspeptics go only this far with their reasoning. They argue with themselves that because their stomachs do not do the work given them, they must be given less work in other words they must be starved. It would be just as sensible for a business man who is unable to do all his own work to cut down his busi- ness to his own capacity as 1t IS Tor man to starve himself to relieve his stomach. The sensible business man employs help and goes forward with his business. Likewise the sensible dyspep- tic will emf'1oy help for his stomach and give his body proper nourshment.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work assigned them. They relieve weak and overburdened stomachs O. a great portion of digestive action Their component parts are identical with those of the digestive fluids and secretons of the stomach and they simply take up the grind and carry on the work just the same as a good, strong healthy stomach would do it.
 On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets are perfectly natural in their action and effects. They do not cause any un- natural or NlOleHl ulSlhl DduttS III tue stomach or bowels. They themselves di- gest the food and supply the system with all the nourishment contained in what is eaten and carry out Natures plans for the sustenance and maintenance of the body
 How much more sensible is this melhod than that employed by many sufferers from weak stomachs. By this means hnGy and brain get all the good. nutritious food they need and the man is properly tour ished and equipped to carry on his o'H and perform his duties. He coulG not possibly be in proper working condition bv straving himself or employing son1 new fangled. insufficient food that eaes not contain enough nutriment for year old baby A strong man doing ctr II ?; work must be properly fed and this ap- plies to the brain as well as the D sdN
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, by reiav- ing the stomach of its work. enable ' to Yecuperate and regain it's normal health and strength. Nature repairs the ~s'n and wasted tissues just as she hells and knits the bone of broken limb, wh.dh is of course not used during eh- process of repair
 Stuarfs Dyspepsia Tablets are Tor s'tle bv all druggists at 50 e,atts a box and thev are the one article that the drug gist does not try to sell something in the place of that's 'iust as good Their un- qualified merit and success and the nnl- versal demand for them has placed them within the reach of every one.
