Clear Sailing In Senate Makes Baekers
 Feel Hopeful of Results.

Washington, February g. Senator El- kins, author of the bill amending the in- terstate commerce law which passed the senate today, discussed the prospects of the bill in the house this afternoon with Representative Hepburn, chairman of the committee on interstate commerce. to which will be referred the bill, and also with Representative Littlefield. author of the anti-trust bill reported from the judiciary committee.
 Mir Hepburn thought there would be no difficulty in securing a favorable re- port from his committed, but said that the possibility of radical amendment In the house made it questionable whether it would be feasible to attempt to pass 1t. The fact that the Elkins bill passed with out discussion or attempt to amend has encouraged its friends to believe that a similar result may be achieved in the house. Some of the provisions of the FL kins bill are incorporated in the Little field biil but Mir. Littlefield told the sen ator today that he would not oppose the measure in the house on that account, It is expected there will be meeting of the house interstate commerce commits sion this week to consider the bill

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

The ruling nations of the world arc meat eaters and history records that they always have been.
 Vc arians and food cranks may ex- plain his 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 Boerr soldier known as Biltong, is a sort of dried beef, affording 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 for 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 a variety of food meat. fruit and grains, and 1t is unhygienic 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 and similar nu- tritious and wholesome food. but 1t 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.
 Nervous people should eat plenty of meat convaleseents 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 its perfect digestion one or two of Stuart's s Dyspepsia Tablets should be taken after 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 Stuarts Ca tarrh Tablets cures them all because by affordng perfect digestion the stomach has a chance to rest and recover its na- tural tone and yigor.
 Stuart's 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 Stuart's Tablets induce is the habit of good digestion and consequently good health

NEW DECATUR.
citizens' Mass Meeting Held to Discuss
 the Dispensary Question.

New Decatur, February 3.-(Special)-A citizens mass meeting in the interest of a dispensary for the two Decaturs was held at the city hall last night and was attended by quite a crowd of representa- tive citizens. E. c. Payne was mace chairman of the meeting.
 The Rev. Dr. Willoughly and w w.. LIttlejohn, who are in favor of prohbi- tion, were present and were called upon to address the meeting. Each said that while they were in favor of prohibition, yet they would cast no stones in the way of the dispensary people. MT. Lt ejohn In his remarks said that he had seen Hon. w. w. Callahan. one of the mem bers of the state legislature from this county. and that MT. Callahan informed him that he would not support the prohi- bition bill as 1t is now drawn up, neither would he support dlspensary bill for the county. He said that he had been in- formed that State Senator Lynne of this district Is of the same opinion q Mir Cal lahan. He said that MT. Callahan had said that he would not support a county dispensary bill even if every man, woman and child in the county should ask him to do so. As the prohibition bill now stands 1t gives the people of the entire county the right to vote on the question of whisky or no whisky. yet only the two Decaturs would be effected since the rest of the county Is already prohibition. Mir Littlesohn said the bill would be amended so that only the people of the Decaturs would be allowed to vote.
 NJ. c. Burch, B. w. Malone and Tom Kerns were appointed a committee to walt upon like committee from the pro- hibtion people and see if some kind of a compromise on the question could be made

GOSSIP OF STAIE HOUSE

Montgomery February 3. = (Special) = The committee on municipal organization is confronted with one of the most dinl- cult problems that Is to come before the present session. The new constitution provides for a general law governing mu- nicipalties and the varied sizes of towns and cities and their conditions makes the framing of a law to meet all conditions most difficult indeed. It practically means the framing of municipal code, and ths will be no small affair.
 The committee is headed by one of the very strongest lawyers in the -R. w. Walker of Madison. sometime an as. sociate justice of the Alabama Supreme court The personnel of the whole com. mittee Is good, and 1t Is believed that a satisfactory code will be presented by them
 Representative Hoffman or Mobile has presented the only bill along the line Of the work before the committee. and this bill is being used by the members as a guide. In discussing the work of the committee MT. Hoffman said:
 While only a few general suggestions
 
 ing reduced to some definite shape, 1t Is safe to say that the local government will be more largely upon the lines of the state government and the legislative department will be given over to the city councils, while the executive depart ments will be vested in the mayor and necessary boards or officers to carry on the business of the city The mayor 8 powers under such a plan must of ne- cessity bs incrt ased, and will no doubt result beneficially. In a divided responsi- bility there is apt to be more or less mat tention to public conditions, and If the laws are such that the mayor Will he held to a strict accountability for their enforcement public interests will be hei- ter cared for"
