OFFICE OF MIR. LOWE
 DECLARED VACATED
SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT HIS PHYSICAL CONDITION WILL NOT PERMIT HIM TO HOLD THE
 PLAcE-SEvERAL CANDIDATES.

Montgomery, February 5.-(Special.)- The Supreme court today rendered de- cision dismissing Solicitor R. H. Lowe of the Eighth circuit from his office. The impeachment proceedings involved purely a question of fact.
 The court had already decided on de- murrers that physical incompetency was included in the term as used in the con- stitution and statutes as a ground of im- peachment, Justice Dowdell dissenting on the theory that only professional in- eompentency was meant. The question on the trial was simply whether the aphasia from which Mir Lowe was suffer- ing rendered him incompetent for the duties of the office. The defense set up was that MT. Lowe is improving and may be able to resume his duties before the expiration of his term. The court, in effect says there is no reasonable pres pect of such a restoration of health. His term has yet some two years to run.
 There are quite a number of applicants for the place. the most prominent known up to this time being John Wallace of Madison, Fire Pettus of Limestone and State senator R. l.. Hipp of Cullman.

BANKRUPTCY LAW NOW ON THE BOOKS President Roosevelt Afixes
 Signature to Bill HAS MANY ADVANT NTAGES Four New Objections to a Discharge Are Provided, Which Will Prevent
 Dishonest Debtors From
 Being Discharged.
HAS MANY ADVANTAGES

Washington, February 5.-The President late this afternoon signed the bill which amends the bankruptcy law of 1898. Will liar. H. Hotchkiss of Buffalo, president of the National Association of Referees in Bankruptcy; William A. f'rendergast, secretary of the National Association of Creditmen, and S. C. Mead, secretary of the Merchants Association of New York, were present when the bill was signed.
 These gentlemen and the associations they represent have been largely instru- mental in securing amendments to the original law, and they expressed their qualification to President Roosevelt at the interest he has shown in the measure. The bill modifies the existing law in sev- eral important particulars, the principal one of which Is a provision in regard to pl eferred creditors Under the existing law those who had received payments from a person who had soon afterward been declared bankrupt, could not have other claims passed upon without sur rendering the amount received. This pro- vision was modified so as 10 allow the creditors to retain the money received unless the previous payment was fradu- lent. The change is in conformity with a decision of the Supreme court.
 Another amendment provides four new objections to discharge intended to pre- vent persons from going through bank ruptcy, the most important of which are the giving of false mercantile state ment and the making of a fraudulent transfer of property. The bill also pro- vides that it shall be an objection to discharge if voluntary bankrupt seeks to go through bankruptcy more than once In six years.
 Another amendment provides that the appointment of a receiver for corpora ton which is insolvent Is an act of bank ruptcy, entitlng the creditors to choose their own trustee. Another important change which gives the Federal court concurrent Jurisdiction of suits to recov- CT property which has been fraudulently transferred. Other amendments allow the wives of bankrupts to testify in the pro- ceedings, provides for an increase of fees for referees and trustees to an average of about fifty per cent over the fees al- lowed by the present law and prohibits the courts from allowing greater fees than the law permits in any case and add to the latest of debts from which bank rupt cannot be relieved by a discharge from bankruptcy, the new law includes debts to wife and children, and alimony. The list of corporations which may go into bankruptcy Is increased by adding mining corporations

RULERS OF THE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are the Leaders
 In Every Branch of Human Achieve

ment.
 .The ruling nations of the world are meat eaters and history records that they always have been.
 Vegetarians and food cranks may ex- plain this in any way they choose, but the facts remain that the Americans. English, French Russians and Germans are meat eating nations, and they are also the most energetic and most pro- gressive.
 The principal food of the heroic Boer soldier known as Biltong. is a sort of dried beef, affordng a great deal of nourishment in a highly concentrated form
 The weak races of people are the rice eating Chinese Hindoos. and Siamese. regarded since the dawn of history as non-progressive, superstitious and infer Tor physically and mentally to the meat eating nations who dominate them.
 The structure of the teeth plainly indi- cates that human beings should subsist upon variety of food meat, fruit and grains, and 1t is unhySienic to confine ones diet to any one of those classes to the exclusion of another.
 Meat Is the most concentrated and most easily digested of foods, but our manner of living Is often so unnatural that the digestive organs refuse to pro- perly digest meat, eggs ana similar nu- tritious and wholesome food, but it is not because such food Is unwholesome but the real reason is that the stomach lacks, from disease or weakness, some necessary digestive element; hence aris- Ing indigestion and later on, chronic dys- pepsia. s--
 Nervous people should eat plenty of meat convalescents should make meat the principal food, hard working people have to do so and brain workers and office men should eat, not so much meat but at least once a day and to insure it's perfect digestion one or two of Stuart S each meal because they supply the pep tones, diastase and fruit acids lacking in every case of stomach trouble.
 Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh of stom- ach. gastritis, sour stomach. gas and acidity are only different names for in- digestion, the failure to digest whole some food, and the use of Stuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets cures them all because by affording perfect digestion the stomach has a chance to rest and recover it's na- tural tone and vigor.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets Is the real household medicine; 1t Is as safe and pleasant for the stomach ache of the baby as 1t Is for the imperfect diges- ton of It's grand sire.
 They are not cathartic. but diges- tive and no pill habit can ever follow their use; the only habit Stuarts Tablets induce Is the habit of good digestion :.d consequently good health.

GERMANS ARE AFTER
CANADIAN TRADE
Not Providing Wind to Initiate Mr.
Chamberlain's Sails.

BERLIN, June 1.-THE semi official
Nord Deutsche Zeitung publishes an
article on the history of German Cana
dian trade relations. 1t declares that
Germany has never had any idea of
interfering with the internal relations
of Great Britain and Canada, but since
Great Britain has repeatedly laid
stress on the fact that the self gov
erning colonies are independent in the
matter of commercial treaties Germany
has a perfect right to treat Canada as
a separate country.
The National Zeitung approves OF
Germany not adopting retaliatory
measures against Canada. Germany, It
says, must avoid providing wind to in
fate Mr.. Chamberlain's sails, as no adj
vantage can accrue to Germany from
strengthening the British colonial sec
retary's position.
