 | President Samuel Spencer of the South ern Railway company, whose residence Is in New York, is spending the winter in Washington, where he is looking after the business of Second Vice-President w. w. Finleys office during MT. Finley s absence In Europe. MT. Spencer has not been to Birmingham since 1899, but he told J. c. Maben recently that he would visit this district within the next few months.
 MT. Spencer is one of the busiest men In the United States. There are probably not half dozen railroad presidents that work as hard as he In addition to being at the head of the Southern, Mr. Spencer
  and the Mobile and Ohio besides being director in many other big companies.
 Superintendent B. M. Starks of the Louisville and Nashville says that traffic in his division Is being moved without congestion. In December 1t was impossl- ble to keep all the furnace yards on his line cleared, but the pig metal is being hauled rapidly now and no iron is allowed to accumulate.
 It is understood that the Big Four will not appoint traffic manager vice Ed ward F. Cost, who resigned to become traffic manager of the Seaboard Air Line; at least not during the present year. The office has been practically abolished and General Freight Agent George H. h. gals and General Passenger Agent Warren Lynch report direct to the pres ident, M. E. Ingalls,.
 Although President Ingalls is lawyer by profession he is an all round railroad man and is at home alike in transpor- tation matters, traffic business and au- diting. He has a great executive head, and while he is a good disciplinarian he is ''hail fellow well met" with all of the officials and employees of his line, even the humblest of them. It is said that of the thousands of men employed on the Big Four, MT. Ingalls, Is personally ac- quainted with 90 per cent of them.
 c. s. Hayden. former superintendent Of the Birmingham division of the Southern but now superintendent of construction of the Tennessee Central, with head quarters at Nashville, is in Birmingham. He Is looking well and is being greeted cordially by his friends here. MT. Hay den is greatly pleased with his new po- sition.

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
But 1t Has Proven of Interest and
 Value to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that if one wishes to become fleshy and plump it can only result from the food We eat and digest and that food should be all Luminous or flesh forming food. like eggs beefsteak and cereals; In other words the kinds of food that make flesh are the foods which form the greater part of our daily bills of fare.
 But the trouble is that while we eat enough and generally too much, the stomach, from abuse and overwork, does not properly digest and assimilate it. which Is the reason so many people re- main thin and under weight; the diges- tive organs do not completely digest the flesh forming beefsteak and eggs and sim- liar wholesome food.
 There are thousands of such who are really confirmed dyspeptics although they may have no particular pain or in- convenience from their stomachs.
 If such persons would lay their preju- dices aside and mako regular practice of taking. after each meal. one or two of Stewards Dyspepsia Tablets the food would be quickly and thoroughly digest ed, because these tablets contain the na- tural peptones and diastase which every weak stomach lacks, and by supplying this want the stomach is soon enabled to regain it's natural tone and vigor
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every form of fesh-fo forming food, meat, eggs bread and potatoes, and this is the req son they so quickly build up, strengthen and invigorate thin, dyspeptic men, wom- en and children.
 Invalids and children. tven the most delicate, use them with marked benefit as they contain no strong. irritating drugs no cathartic nor any harmful ingredient
 Sturat's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most successful and most widely known of any remedy for stomach troubles because 1t is the most reasonable and scientific of modern medicines.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by every druggist in the United States and Canada as we'll as in Great Britain. at 50 cents for complete treatment.
 Nothing further is required to cure any stomach trouble or to make thin, nerv. our, dyspeptic people. strong, plump and well.

MPs. MI BRINK FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH A Serious Mistake Which Thou
 sands Are Making.

The first stage of catarrh is what is commonly known as ''catching cold" It may be in the head, nose. throat or lungs. Its beginning is sometimes so se- were as to cause a chill and considerable fever, or 1t may be so slight as to not hinder a person from his usual business In perhaps majority of cases little or no attention is paid to the first stage of ca tarrh, and hence 1t is that nearly one-half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form.
 To neglect a cold is to invite chronic ca- tarrh. As soon as any one discovers the first symptoms of catching cold he should at once begin the use of Peruna accord ing to directions on the bottle, and the

cold is sure to pass away without leav- ing any bad effects.
 Unless this is done the cold is al- most sure to end in the second stage of catarrh, which is making t) many lives miserable. If Peruna was taken every time one has a cold or cough, chronic catarrh would be practically an unknown disease.
 Miss Elizabeth Uber, No. 57 Bassett street, Albany, N. r., writes: "I have always dreaded unsettled weather because of my extreme liability to catch cold, when catarrhal trouble would quickly develop through, my entire system, which it would take weeks to drive away. I am thankful to say that since I have taken PERUNA I do not have any reason to dread this any more. If have been at all exposed to the damp, wet or cold weather take dose or two of PERUNA, and it throws out any hint of sickness from my system. Miss Eliz- abeth Uber.
