THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts on the Same Sub
 ject.

We hear much nowadays about health
 foods and hygienc living, about veg
 tarianism, and many other fads along the same line
 Restaurants may be found in the larger cities where no meat, pastry or coffee
 is served and the food crank is in his glory. and arguments and theories galore advanced to prove that meat was never intended for human stomachs and almost make us believe that our sturdy ances- tors, who lived four-score years in robust
 health on roast beef, pork and mutton must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health
 Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was extended to any kind, from bacon to acorns.
 A healthy appetite and common sense are excellent guides to follow in matters of diet and mixed diet of grains, fruits and meats Is undoubtedly the best
 As compared with grains and vegetables, meat furnishes the most nutriment in a highly concentrated form and Is digested and assimilated more quickly than veg etables or grains.
 pr. Julius Remmson, on this subject, says: "Nevous persons, people run down in health and of low vitality should eat meat and plenty of it. If the digestion is too feeble at first it may be easily cor rected by the regular use of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets after each meal Two of these excellent tablets taken after din- ner will digest several thousand grains of meat, eggs or other animal food in three hours, and no matter how weak the stomach may be. no trouble will be ex- perienced if a regular practice is made of using Stewards Dyspepsia Tablets, be- cause they supply the pepsin and diastase necessary to perfect digestion, and every form of indigestion will be overcome by their use.
 That large class of people who come un- der the head of nervous dyspepsia should eat plenty of meat and insure it's proper digestion by the daily use of a safe, harm less digestive medicine like Stewarts s Dyspepsia Tablets, composed of the nat ural digestive principles, pepsin, diastase, fruit acids and salts, which actually per form the work of digestion. Cheap cathar- tic medicines. masquerading under the name of dyspepsia cures. are useless for indigestion, as they have absolutely nc effect upon the actual digestion of food Dyspepsia in all it's many forms is sim ply failure of the stomach to digest food, and the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to make daily use at meal time of preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which IS endorsed by the medical profession and known to contain active digestive prin- ciplea

TO REPORT ON GRADING
 OF TWENTIETH STREET

To get the desired grade 1t will hs necessary to go down 75 feet deep from the present surface and remove d grade $50 feet in length.
 When the plan was put before the board of revenue by several citizens living on both sides of the mountain they were very much impressed with the project and readily agreed to instruct the county surveyor to make the survey.
 In case the report of MT. Milner is fa- vorable, 1t Is possible that steps will be taken in the near future which will as- sure the grading of the road.
 This road under the mountain will con- meet Shades valley, one of the most fertile and prosperous sections of tho county, and Birmingham, by highway that will enable farmers on the other side of the mountain to haul their pro- ducts to Birmingham in large wagon loads which is now practically impossible on account of tho heavy grade of tha present road

i, Dr. Wharton, who now lives at German town, Penn. has had a very interesting and at the same time useful career. He is native of Virginia. After serving in the Confederate army in the Civil war he surrendered with General Lee at Ap- pomattox He entered the ministry when still very young. and has served in many southern states. At Luray. Va, he built up a strong church. and then in Balti- more the Lee street church grew under
 his pastorate to be one of the greatest congregations in that city. He later ac- cepted a call to the Brantey Baptist church. small mission station and in a few years 1t was one of the largest con- gregations in the city with a magnificent ediflce costing about $6o,0o0.
 But pr. Wharton has probably accom- plished more as an evangelist. For
 twenty-five eyars he held services with Dwight l.. Moody and other prominent evangelists. visiting nearly every city of importance in America and many in Eng
 land. Ten years ago he held a series of
 meetings in Birmingham in the Winnie Davis wigwam opposite the Caldwell hotel
 site on First avenue. pr. Wharton is not an evangelist of the sensational type, but l is considered one of the most eloquent and stirring preachers in America. He is an accomplished musician and has an ex- | celent voice. A chorus choir, under his l direction, will deliver a number of selec- 1 tions at both services at the church to- 1 day.
 l Dr. Wharton has a very pleasing per 1 sonality, and in the few days in which he
 has been in this city has been kept busy
 renewing old acquaintances. He has made
 many friends since his arrival here on Friday,

INSURANCE NOTES

Owing to certain business engagements many of the members of the Birmingham Life Underwriters association were not present at the meeting held in the Com mereial club rooms last Monday, and after some informal discussion the meet ing adjourned subject to the call of Pres dent Cameron. At the next meeting, it is thought, the executive committee will recommend that the time of the meeting be changed, in order to be more con venient for the majority of the mem bers.
 Local insurance men will be glad to hear of the appointment of George l.. Root formerly a citizen of Birmingham. but now living in Peoria, IL, to the chairmanship of the committee on creden- tials of the National Association of Life Underwriters. As there are only eight standing committees in the association, the honor conferred on Mr. Root was a high one.
