ONLY A SUGGESTION.
Hut Et Has Proven of Interest and
 Value to Thousands.

+s
 common sense would suggest that if one yvishea to become ileshy and plump 1t can only result from the food we eat ana digest and that food should be albuminous or flesh forming food, like eggs, Deet- steak ana ceFeehts; h, 'n Gsnea feSh srs 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 not properly digest and assimilate IT, which is the reason so many people re- main thin and under weight; the digss- iesh forming beefsteak and eggs. and similar wholesome food.
 There are thcnsauds of such who are really confirmed dyspeptics, although they may hayeino particular pain or inconven- Ience from their stomachg.
 If such persons would lay their pre3u- dices aside and make q regular practice of taking. after each meal one or two of stuart,s pyspepsl9. Iaoiets; tne I;lssa tooa because these tablets contain the natural Depfones and Giastaee which every weak stomach lacks. and by. supplying thls want, the stomach is soon enabled to re- gain It's natural tone and viG2r.
 StuaPt's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every form of iesh-forming food. meat. eggs. bread and potatoes. and this is the req son they go quickly ssly pTia g en % men and children.
 Inyaiids and children. even the most delicate use them with marked benefit as fhey contain no strong. irritating drugs, no cathartic nor any harmful ingredient.
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most ancressflIi and most widely known of any remedy for stomach troubles because it is inc most reasonable and scientific os modern medicines.
 stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold Dy every druggist in the United States and Canada as well as in Great Britain, at % cents for complete treatment,

 March 2fst, ls0&. To the People of Alabama:
 desire to express my most profound thanks to my friends all over the State for their support in my candidacy for President of the Alabama Railroad C0m- r1iesion
 However. having reached the conciu- s1on that my withdrawal from the race will enhance the chances of the election of some other conservative man. and de- crease the chances for the election of an extremist. I have concluded to withdraw from the race.

By all Democratic precedent, Hon. John V. Smith is entitled to an endorse mefIt, and for one. will not oppose the endorsement of conservative Democrat who has faithfully discharged the du- ties of his ofiice.
 Asking my friends throughout the State to lend their support to Hon. John V Smith. and again thanking each and all f0e the kind support given me. remain

The police are now convinced that John

for more than one hundred and twenty ut
hours was murdered. post-mor TEN
examination conducted by Dr.. B. r. Gary,

fact thae there was a .clot of blood as
large as O. mans hand on the brain OF

the coroner found no evidence Of blow,
and q It was supposed that pr.tENewby'i S

ithe skull was taken off, however, the
great blood clot was discovered pressing

AT 9 O. clock tonight the coroner's Jury
returned verdict to the effect that the
deceased came to his death from the
effects ofsa blow struck with blunt in

day he announced that he had found that
the, man was suffering with dlabetic coma.
1t seems that kidney trouble brought on
by. the blood clot, gave ground for this
opinion.
The police are making thorough inves-
t!gntion, and it is understood that clues
'have been found which may%lead to the
arrest of the murderer or murderers.
!, Gardiner had lived here for years, and
was employed along the water front as

past history, but he Is said to have re-
marked at one Tina that he had a wife.
