YOU CAN INTEREST HIM.
Any Man Over Fifty.

You can interest any man over fifty years of age in anything that will make him feel better, because while he may not as yet have any positive organic disease he no longer feels the buoyancy and vigor of twenty live nor the freedom from aches and pains he enjoyed in earlier years, and he very naturally examines with ln- terest any proposition looking to the lm- provement and preservation or his health.
 He will notice among other things that the stomach of fifty is a very different one from the stomach he possessed at twenty-fye. That greatest care must ba exercised as to what is eaten and how much of it, and even with the best of care. there will be increasing digestive weakness with advancing years.
 nronosition to perfect or improve the Sieestion and assimilation of food is one which interests not only every man of nttv but every man, woman and child of any age because the whole secret or good health. gool blood, strong nerves, Is to nave q stomach which will promptly and thoroughly digest wholesome food be- cause blood, nerves, brain tissue ana avery other constituent of the body is entirely the product of digestion, and ID ,,,adicine or health" food can possibly create pure blood or restore shaky nerves, when a weak stomach is replenishing the daily wear and tear of the body from q mass of fermenting half digested food.
 No the stomach itself wants help and in no round about way either; it wants di- rect. unmistakable assistance. such as is given by one or two Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
 These tablets cure stomach trouble be- cause their use give the stomach q chance to rest and reCuperatc; one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contains digestive ele- ments sufficient to digest 5000 grains of ordinary food such as bread, meat, eggs, etc.
 The plan of dieting is simply another name for starvation, and the use Of pre- pared foods and new fangled breakfast foods simply makes matters worse as any dyspeptic who has tried them knows.
 As Dr. Bennett says, the only reason can imagine why Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not universally used by every body who is troubled in any way with poor digestion is because many people seem to think that because a medicine is advertised or is sold in drug stores or. is protected by trade mark must be- a humbug. whereas as a matter of Truth any druggist who is observant 'knowa that stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have cur cd more people of indigestion, heartburn. heart trouble, nervous prostration and run down condition generally than all the natent medicines and doctors prcscrip- tions for stomach trouble combined.

 This is a book designed to he used as an elementary textbook or manual of agriculture in the public schools. Con siderlng the fact that there are already more than 100000 school gardens in sue cessful operation in Europe. and that the problem of city congestion which these schools hope to solve, IS becoming question of importance in this country. the appearance of such book must be regarded as timely. MT. Hunnicutt is an experienced writer on agricultural topics. being the editor of the Southern Culti- vator, and he is also a practical farmer.
 The book follows the approved text book plan for the teaching of science. being divided into chapters that gradual ly develop the theme. At the close of each chapter topical questions are ar ranged to assist the child is grasping the chief thoughts. An idea of the scope of the book may be gained from the chap ter headings: Composition and Kind of Soil; Preservation and Improvement of Soil; Uses and Abuses of Water on the Farm: Farm Implements; Farm Anil mals; Truck Farming: Dairy Farming and Bee Keeping: Farm and Public Roads; the Farmer as Citizen. etc.
 Tn the preface Mir. Hunnicutt says of his purpose in writing an agricultural textbook: 'If farming ever reaches the place among other callings which 1t should have, it will he when we have taught our children it's beauty and its rank in the choolroom. Agriculture should he taught in every school.
 Many books have been written on agriculture. but they are all more or less treatises on agricultural chemistry. We have avoided this channel While we adhere strictly to scientific truth. we have used plain language. Technical terms have been left out We have tried to write SO that every child could under stand. Industrial education is the de mand of the day Agriculture is the largest and most important of the in- Snstries Heretofore 1t has been at the bottom Let us now see that 1t is placed at the top.
 ITO do this we must educate the farm CTS The world will respect brains. If we make ourselves the equals of other caIllngs in intellect. then we will be as much respected, and not until then.
 "yNe need as much skill to grow plants as inc doctor does to give pills, or the lawyer to clear criminals. It takes as much brains to run a four horse farm as to run a hank or "a railroad. The farmer carrfes all. City/Ife has been absorbing tbe brain and beauty of the country Ana thev need it. But we cannot anord to spare go much of our young manhood ana wornanhood as we have been doing We must keep the young folks on the farm "-fDallas, Texas) Daily News, March g. 1908.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Uc,ful it is in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfect ant and purifier in nature. but few real ize its value when taNen into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal Is a remedy that the more won take of it the better; 1t is not a drug at all hut simply absorbs the gases and i'm purlties always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion. it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminentIv safe cathartlc.
 Ii al iorbs the injurious gases which col Iect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disin. fleets the mouth and throat from the pof- son of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Absorbent Lczenges: they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal. and other harmless antiseptics in tablet folm, or rather in the form nt large. pleasant-tasting lozenges; the char coal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soop tell in much improved condition of the general health, better complexion sweet CT breath and purer blood. and the beau ty of it is, that no possible harm can re- suit from their continued use, but on the contrary. great benefit
 A Buffalo physician In speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: T advise Sin arts Absorbent Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bow els, and to clear the complexion and pulify the breath. mo lth and throat: I also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents box at drug stores. and although m some sense a patent preparation. yet I believe l get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary chaI coal tablets" su-tf

As one of the boys in gray who was an inmate of their splendidly conducted home, I add my tribute to the memory of those patriotic people who SO kindly ministered to our wants and nursed us through our afflic- tons. I say home instead of hospital; for, had we been their sons or brothers, they could not have cared more kindly for us. When we arrived in Montgomery June 24. we found every hospital in the city full. and we were sent to a hos pital tent on the banks of the Alabama River. on an outskirt of the city. where we fought mosquitoes at night and hid from the biistering sun during the day. About the last days of the month some twenty-five or thirty of us were lined up and marched down to the wharf and took passage on boat, to go we knew not where. but were told that we were going to the country. About daylight next morning we got off at Benton where MT. Robert P. Rives met us with vehicles. and after a ten-mile drive we landed at beautiful Collirene. and such welcome as we received, It seemed as if the whole country had turned out

The plea of the rela.or was that there was not a sufficient number of freehold CTS on the petiti )n for incorporation to meet the legal requirements. It was also alleged that those favoring the incorpo- ration of the little town divided one lot into fourteen parts. assigning each part to a voter in order to have the required number of freeholders on the petition for incorporation. This, Judge Sayre held to be illegal.
 The case was the result of an effort on the part of the city officials of West End to levy and collect municipal taxes from the relator.
 It is understood that the case will be appealed to the Supreme Court.
