INTERESTING, IF TRUE.
You Can Try 1t for Yourself and Prove

One grain of the active principle in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome food and this claim has been proven by actual experiment which anyone can per- form for himself in the following man. ner: Cut hard boiled eggs into very small pieces, as 1t would be If masticated, place the egg and two or three of the tablets In a bottle or jar containing warm water heated to 98 degrees the temperature of the body) and keep 1t at this temperature for .nree and one-half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as com pletely digested as it would have been in the healthy stomach of a hungry boy.
 The point of this experiment Is that what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg in the bottle 1t will do to the egg or meat in the stomach and noth- ing else will rest and invigorate the stomach so safely and effectually Even a little child can take Stuarts Tablets with safety and benefit if its digestion is weak and the thousands of cures accom- plished by their regular daily use are easily explained when 1t is understood that they are composed of vegetable es- sences, aseptic pepsin, diatase and Golden Seal. which mingle with the food and di- gest it thoroughly, giving the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate.
 Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do pills and cathartic medicines, which simply irritate and inflame the intes- tines.
 When enough food is eaten and prompt ly digested there will be no constipation, nor in fact will there be disease of any kind because good digestion means good health in every organ.
 The merit and success of Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets are world wide and they are sold at the moderate price of 50 cents for full sized package in every drug store in the United States and Canada, as well as in Europe.

Willard W. Breeding ct al vs Samue, E
 Grantland. Appeal from Morgan Cham
 cery Court.
 Mcclellan, c. J.-The bill in this case was filed by appellee to invalidate inc last Will and testament of William Breed Ing, deceased. A plea was interposed by appellants ayerring that the will had been regularly admitted to probate in the Probate court of Morgan county. after contest of said probate by James Breeding, brother of the testator, and an uncle of appellee. The plea further ayers, that during the hearing or trial of said contest complainant was exam inted as witness in the behalf of said complainant, that complainant aided and abetted said James Breeding in the in- auguration and prosecution of said con- test and while not marked as A contest ant on the record. was a contestant in fact, Tor that he paid a part or portion Of the funds or fees for the employment of attorneys to institute and prosecute said contest, he paying the attorneys the amount ascertained and determined to be his pro rata part; and he zealously aided in said contest; that the solicitors now representing the complainant are the same that were employed to and did contest said will before the Probate court Appellee demurred to the suf- ficiency of the plea, and thereupon ap- pellants moved to strike the demurrers from the file. upon the ground that the plea should be set down for hearing upon it's sufficiency and not demurred to. The motion to strike the demurrers was over ruled. The cause was then submitted upon the demurrers, the demurrers sus tained and the plea held insufficient. The appeal is prosecuted from both decress.
 Section 427 of the code authorizing Appeals from certain interlocutory de- crees'' does not provide for an appeal from the decree overruling the motion to strike the demurrers. We are, therefore, confined to the consideration of the pro- priety of the decree sustaining the de- murrers and holding the plea insufficient.
 The proper practice to test the suf ffciency of a plea in court of equity is to set 1t down for hearing upon it's suf- fciency or by motion to strike, and not by demurrer "The effect however, is the same and furnishes no ground for a reversal" Freeman vs Pullen, 119 Ala. 235.

 Henry Bauer vs. w B. Wood, appeal
 from Circuit court of Limestone county.
 The appellee, w B. Wood, recovered a judgment before a justice of the peace against James and Susan Binford. Exc cution was issued upon this judgment and levied upon certain property to which one Douglass Williams interposed a claim as provided by the statute. Upon issue made up as directed by the statute, judgment was rendered by the justice of the peace in favor of the plaintiff, and from this Judgment the claimant Douglass Will jams, took an appeal to the Circuit court. While the appeal was pending in the Cir cult court and had been regularly con tinued, Douglass Williams Gied. At the fall term of the Circuit court, on Septem- Der 90. 1901, the death of the claimant, Douglass Williams, was suggested ana leave was given to revive the suit In the name of the personal representative of the claimant when made known. The appellant, Henry Bauer, was appointed administrator of the estate of Douglass Williams, deceased.
 At the spring term of the Circuit court, the plaintiff moved to dismiss the claim suit for want of prosecution by the claim ant of the appeal. On January IA. 1902, the court rendered Judgment granting this motion and ordering the suit dismissed for want of prosecution by the claim ant, and it was further ordered by the court that the plaintiff have and recover of Douglass Williams" and the sureties on his appeal bond, the costs of the suit
 Henry Bauer, an administrator of the estate of Douglass Williams deceased. moved the court to set aside the judgment dismissing the case. upon the grounds that the cause was dismissed before twelve months had expired after the death of Douglass Williams, the claim ant had been suggested, and because said cause was dismissed before the expiration of twelve months within which the ad- ministrator was allowed to revive said suit after the death of Douglass Will jams had been suggested on the record. The court overruled this motion, and to this ruling Henry Bauer, as administra- tor, duly excepted.
 The administrator of the estate of Doug lass Williams rTosecutes the present ap- peal and assigns as error the rendition ot the judgment dated January 14, 1902, ana the everything of the motion to set aside said judgment.
 Mcclellan. C. J.-In so far as the iudg- ment of January 14, 1902. is for costs against the claimant. Douglass Williams 1t is void for the reason that said Will iams was dead, a fact which appeared cn tho records Of the cause.
 In so far as that judgment is one of dismissal of the claim suit for want of Prosecution, it is error eous, for that the twelve months allowed by the code (sec. tion SS) for revivor of Williams suit had Tot elapsed.

POLICE ARREST A LARGE
 NUMBER OF DRUNKEN MEN

The cold weather Saturday and yester- day had a bad effect on the people of Birmingham in that it caused seventy of them to get arrested within twenty-four hours and locked in the city jail, besides about twenty more who were allowed to make bond.
 All of those arrested had become so drunk that they were no longer able to take care of themselves and the police were compelled to remove them off the streets This was the largest number of arrests ever made in the city in twenty-four hours except on Christmas or some similar holiday.
 Everything seemed to break loose at the same time, and the police were busy from noon Saturday to the same hour yes

The Disclples/

1. When the disciples heard these words of Christ they exclaimed, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" and again,
 This is a hard saying, and who can stand it?' Why did they cry out thus? Simply because they understood him lit- orally, although in a carnal sense, not knowing that His flesh and blood would be yelled under the sacramental species. Strange, indeed. that the disciples who were right on the ground should misun-

Emphasized Meaning.

Now, If Christ in such unimportant matters as these, was so careful and so quick to point out that what he intended to be figurative was hgurative and not literal, why did He not follow the same procedure and prevent such fearful conse- quences? Did he make any comment al all on the matter? Yes, but so far from correcting them when the Jews had ex- pressed their inability to comprehend His meaning he repeats the same truth many times and with all the emphasis of which human speech seems capable Nay, we find in the Greek text that He changes from the milder verb, Ito eat" to a much stronger one, the Greek equivalent of which Is ito gnaw, to chew, to eat raw vegetables as opposed to eating dressed food" This phraseology shows that He will not pare down His words to remove their stumbling block. but. on the contrary, in the face of their dlsputing and unbelief. He gives more intense em- phasis to the words that puzzled His hearers. Certainly, the opponents of the Eucharist can but admit that; had Jesus wished to teach transubstantiation, He could not have used clearer more forcible terms than these.
 We leave 1t to your own reason then whether these proofs, which by no means exhaust the subject, do not make good the minor promise of our proposition VIZ: that Christ, by the words of the promise meant real eating of his real flesh Therefore, the minor being proved and the major being admitted the conclu- sion must follow that, from the words of St. John vi 46-69, Christ Is really present in the Eucharist.
 Full Meaning.
 These words of St. John, then contain the promise of the Blessed Eucharist The full meaning of them could not, at that time, be understood by the people. But surely Jesus. who by His wonderful works proved that He was God. merited that men should accept His words. al- though their meaning transcended hu- man reason. They should have made that magnificent act of faith of Peter. Lord. to whom shell we go; Thou hast the words of eternal lifew They should have kept them in their hearts awaiting a clearer revelation in Gods good time. Many the words, many the events in Jesus life which Mary did not under stand at first; but the Scripture says. Mary kept all these things in her heart' and waited the revelation which In due time came. Thus should 1t be with us. For we know in part and we prophecy In part; but when that which Is perfect is come, that which is in part shall he done away. now I know in part; but then shall l know even as | have been known" I Cor xiii. g, 12.
