TOOK A STRAW VOTE.
Interesting Experiment In a Restau-
rant.

An advertising agent, representing
u prominent New York magazine,
while on a recent Western trip, was
taurant.
While waiting for his order he
glanced over his newspaper and MOTTO
ed the advertisement of a we'll known
dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets; as he himself was a
regular user of the tablets. he began
speculating as to how many of the
otner travelling men in the dining
room were also friends of the popular
remedy for indigestion.
He says: Il counted twenty-three
men at the tables and in the hotel
once L took the trouble to interview
them and was surprised to learn that
nine OF the twenty-three made a prac-
ice or taking one or two of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
One of them told me he had suf-
fered so much from stomach trouble
that at one time he had been obliged
to quit the road, but since using
Sturat's Dyspepsia Tablets had been
entirely free from Indigestion but he
continued their Use, especially while
travelling. on account Of irregularity
In meals and because like all travel
ing men he was often obliged to eat
what he could get and not always
what he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture
of health. said he never ate a meal
without taking Stuart Tablet after
ward, because he could eat what he
pleased and when he pleased without
fear of sleepless night or any other
trouble.
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on the stomach.
causing pressure on heart and lungs,
shortness of breath and distress in
chest, which he no longer experienced
since using the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets was the only safe
remedy he had ever found for sour
stomach and acidity. He had formerly
used common soda to relieve the
trouble, but the tablets were much
better and safer to use.''
After smoking, drinking or other
excesses which weaken the digestive
organs, nothing restores the stomach
to q healthy, wholesome condition so
effectually as Stuart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the natural digestive, pepsin. diastase,
which every weak stomach lacks, as
we'll as nux, hydrastin and yellow
parilla, and can be safely relied on as
a radical cure for every form of poor
digestion. Sold by druggists every
where.

ON EVE OF CLOSING
THE HUNTING SEASON.
Unlawful to Shoot Birds After Mon
day, Until Next November.

OhiaWAul 10 Shoot BIRDS AFTER NOR
day, Until Next November.
Monday win be the last day that
birds may be legally shot in Georgia.
Final hunting parties are out to-
day. therefore, to get in a few last
shots before the season closes. From
tomorrow on. until Nov. l. the season
is closed.
This season has been one of the best
in years for sportsmen. Quail and
other birds have been plentiful and
the hunter that did not bag his game
usually had only his poor marksman-
ship to blame. The birds have been
plentiful and they have been killed in
large numbers. Savannah hunters all
say there has not been a better sea-
sons sport in years.
During the last two months or more
OF the season the birds have, of course,
been very wild, as they have been
hunted so much. The man who
bagged his game within the last few
weeks has had to shoot quick and
true. During the first part of the sea-
son 1t was an easy matter to bag a
number Of the birds. but later, after
they had become wary and strong, 1t
became a more difficult matter.

pIeted 80 Days Before Convention

The Freight Claim Agents Associa-
ton will gather in Savannah at its
annual convention May 10, about $50
stronR.
This is the opinion of Mr.. Joseph F.
Gray, freight claim agent of the Cen
trail Of Georgia, who returned to Sa-
vannah yesterday morning from Wash
5ngton, D. c.. where he has been in
attendance at meeting of the stand
ing committees of the association, call
ed to decide on the work to come be-
fore the convention.
Mr.. Gray believes that this meeting
will be one of the largest that the as
ISOLATION has held in recent years for
two reasons. One of them is that the
members of the association have not
been in the South for some time, and
are always glad of an opportunity to
visit this section of the country, while
another is that there is much impor-
tant legislation to come up for con-
sideratioh. Matters that. though not
of great public interest, are yet of vital
Importance to the members of the or
ganization.
The plans for the entertainment of
the visitors have been placed in the
hands of a committee. of which Mr..
Gray is the chairman. The other MEM
bers of the committee are Mr.. o. B.
Bidwell of the Seaboard Air Line; Mr..
A. C. Kenly of the Atlantic Coast Line,
MIR. J. j. Hooper of the Southern Rail-
way, Mr.. T. F. Lips of the Merchants
and Miners Transportation Company,
and Mr.. E. r. Richardson of the
Ocean Steamship Company.
1t is expected that the programme
will be completed some thirty days be-
fore the convention. The meetings will
be held in the De Soto. 1t is likely

that the builders can be induced to
