WAYCROss is PLEASED
That the Cane Experiment station
Will be There.

Will be There.
Waycross, GA, Jan. 22.-Mr. John P.
Cason has resigned his office as deputy
United States marshal, and his resig-
nation will be accepted on Feb. 1.
United States Marshal John NJ. Barnes
of Macon, in a letter to Mr.. Cason
compliments him very highly on his
past service and requests that he select
some one to fill the vacancy.
Waycross people were greatly pleased
upon learning in to-days Morning
News that the government sugar cane
experimental station would be located
here. The Chamber of Commerce will
donate the government about three
acres of land within half a mile of the
passenger depot on which to construct
the station, and this land will, in all
probability, be selected. The location
is at the west end of Mary street, next
to the Brunswick and Western Rail-
road track. 1t is believed here that
the work of constructing the plant will
begin in short time, as the Agricul-
tural Department is DESTROYS of having
everything in shape before the plant
ing of next seasons crop.
Mr.. j. A. Riley, secretary of the
Young Mems Christian Association in
this city, has rendered his resignation,
and will leave Waycross for Atlanta
shortly after Feb. 1. Mr.. Louis H. Put
nam of Atlanta has been rendered the
position by the board of governors of
the association, and has accepted. He
will arrive here and assume his duties
about Feb. /.

tanned Mayor Youmans and Council
and other city officers and friends at

Lee last night. The occasion was an
oyster roast, and was greatly enjoyed
by those present.

COAL Is VERY SHORT
And Miners and Operators Dispute
As to Responsibility.

And Miners and Operators Dispute
As to Responsibility.
Philadelphia, Jan. 22.-The question
of who is responsible for the apparent
shortage in the supply of anthracite
coal was the subject of considerable
debate to-day by the attorneys repre-
senting the parties before the strike
commission. 1t was testified to that
the miners are not obeying President
Mitchells request to make extra eff
forts to produce more coal to relieve
the situation. This was followed up
by James H. Torrey and Everett War
rem, both of Scranton, who represent
several of the large companies, chai-
longing the correctness of Mr.. Mitch
ellis statement that 5000 men are idle
and ready to go to work. TETf ~@r,
C. S. Darrow, for the miners. re-
piled that he would show that it was
the operators, and not the men who
were responsible for the shortage in
production.

the commission to find against u.s."
The Lehigh Valley Coal Company

evidence. This company closed short

dependent operators of the upper re-
gion then took up the operators side
of the controversy.
1t is expected that the sessions will
last ten more days. The commission
informed the attorneys on both sides
this afternoon that it would like them
to confine their final arguments to

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

We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living, about vege-
tarianism and many other fads along
the same. line.
Restaurants may be found in the
larger cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank is
in his glory, and arguments and theo-
rieS galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomachs, and almost make us be-
lieve that our sturdy ancestors who
lived fourscore 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 mat
ters of diet, and a mixed diet of grains,
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the
best.
AS compared with grains and vege-
tables, meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in a highly concentrated form
and is digestcd and is assimilated
more quickly than vegetables and
grains.
Dr.. julius Reu1mson on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run
down in health and of low vitality
should eat meat, and plenty of it. II
the digestion is too feeble at first ii
may be easily corrected by the regular
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal. Two of these excellent
tablets taken after dinner will digest
several thousand grains of meat, eggs
or other animal food in three hours,
and no matter how weak the stomach
may be, no trouble will be experienced
IL a regular practice is made of using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they supply the pepsin and diastase
necessary to perfect digestion, and ev-
cry form of indigestion will be over
come 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 actually perform the work of
digestion. Cheap cathartic medicines,
masquerading under the name of dys-
pepsia cures are useless for indigestion,
as they have absolutely no effect upon
the actual digestion of food.
Dyspepsia in all it's many, forms is
simply a failure of the stomach to d.
gest food and the sensible way to solve
the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to
make daily USE at meal time of a prep
aration like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
which is endorsed by the medical pro-
fession and known to contain active
digestive principles.

probably three of them.
\ Young white man named George
Hendricks was badly hurt in a run

him from the wagon with such force
that both bones of his left leg were
broken. the bones protruding from the

AMENDMENTS MADE
In the Bill Fixing the Philippine
Tariff.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The Senate
Committee on the Philippines to-day
authorized a favorable report on the
Philippine tariff bill, which recently
passed the House, but with important
amendments. The House bill carried
a uniform reduction of the tariff on
Philippine goods imported into the
United States, making the rate only rs
per cent. of the rates imposed by the
Dingley law.
The Senate Committee amended the
bill so as to provide for the admission
of all Philippine produced articles
free of duty, except sugar and tobac-
co, and on these two commodities fix
ed the tariff at so per cent. of the
Dingley schedules. This change was
made to meet the objections of the
sugar and tobacco producers of this
country, who have claimed that a duty
rate of only rs per cent. on those ar
ticles would result in ruinous compe-
tition.
