Every man who owns a foot of property on the North High lands has been benefited thereby Of course, the holdings in the immediate vicinity of Norwood have advanced in value most, but the uplifting influence of the development of this charming home center, extends clear across the northern sky line.
 By the way, when we look at a hill top, we instinctively ask ourselves, Whats behind it?' Many a man has toiled up a hill side just to see what lay beyond. If you want to know what's beyond the North Highlands I'll tell you and save you the trouble of climb-it is the stretch of country between North Birmingham and Ensley--an expanse in which will be located, perhaps 75 per cent of the industries of the future And the people who toll in them are going to live on the North Highlands.

LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE ITS
 OWN WAY.
Do Not Try to Drive and Force It to Work When 1t Is Not Able or You
 Will Suffer All the More.

You cannot treat your stomach as some men treat a balSy horse; force. drive or even starve it into doing work at which 1t rebels. The stomach is a patient and faithful servant and will stand much abuse and i'll treatment before it "balks. but when 1t does you had better go slow with it and not attempt to make it work. Some people have a mistaken idea that they can make their stomachs work by starving themselves. They might cure the stomach that way, but it would take so long that they would have no use for a stomach when they got through. The sensible way out of the difficulty Is to let the stomach rest if 1t wants to and employ a substitute to do it's work.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do the work of your stomach for you and digest your food for you just as your stomach used to when it was we'll You can prove this by putting your food in a glass jar with one of the tablets and sufficient wa ter and youswill see the food digested in just the same time that the digestive fluids of the stomach would do it. That will satisfy your mind Now, to satisfy beth your mind and body take one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after eating eat all and what you want-and you will feel in your mind that your food is be- ing digested, because you will feel no disturbance or weight in your stomach in fact you will forget all about having a stomach just as you did when you were healthy boy or girl.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets act in nat ural way because they contain only the natural clements of the gastric juices and other digestive fluids of the stomach. It makes no difference what condition the stomach is in, they go right ahead of their own accord and do their work. They know their business and surround ing conditions do not influence them in the least. They thus relieve the weak stomach of all its burdens "~' e're 1t its much needed rest and permit 1t to become strong and healthy.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale bv all druggists at 50 cents a box. They are so we'll known and their popularity Is so great that druggist would as soon think of being out of alcohol or quinne. Tn fact physicians are pre1cr s'n~ them ali over the land and if your doctor is real honest with you, he will tell you frankly that there is nothing on earth so good for dyspepsia as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

IN THE BIRMINGHAM
 REAL ESTATE MARKET

Local real estate circles yesterday show ed no variation whatever from their usual condition. The activity Is still notable, but is confined altogether to deals in suburban residence property.
 During the past few months the manner in which the suburban realty markets have come to the front is remarkable. Last week alone $16,000 worth of East Lake real estate changed hands and it is re- ported that in all deals closed the prop erty brought high prices Building circles are also active in East Lake there being more than a dozen houses in course of construction at the present time.

CHADWICK CASE
 REOPENED TODAY
Says She Will Make Public Certain I'm portant Details of Her Financial Transactions.

Cleveland. O., November 2s.-Harold Remington, referee of the federal bank ruptcy court, after conference today with the attorneys interested in the Chad wick bankruptcy proceedings. announced that the hearing would be resumed tomor- row afternoon at o'clock. This action followed the request of Mrs. Chadwick that she again be permitted to go on the witness stand In the interest of her creditors. She has promised to make pub lie many details of her financial operations which she refused to divulge when she appeard in the bankruptcy court several months ago.
 Mrs. Chadwick in deciding upon this course, said she had been influenced in doing so largely because of the fact that, notwithstanding all her real and personal property had been sold, her creditors had received practically nothing, the money being almost entirely consumed in fees, etc.
