AN EYE WITNESS
Tells Of the Awful Experimentation.
veIcus Escapes from Death.

Mobile Ala. March AZ. NJ. Strutz Of
Washington, Mo. who arrived here Sat
urday from Meridian. Miss, gave Il vivid
description of Friday nights tornado. Nj
Strutz said:
Il wan in the dining room of the South
ern Hotel when the dcath-dcaling wind
struck the city. In the afternoon the
humidity had been trying. Shortly after
6.15 P. NJ. u terrible choking cloud could
be observed bounding out from the south
west toward the city. This was followed
by downpour of rain. and then with q
rush and noise that struck terror to
the stoutest hearts the tornado descended
upon that portion of the city near the
passenger depot.
1T came toward the city from tho
southwest. following the railroad tracks,
which pass through Meridian along From
street. Among the first buildings to go
down was the electric lighting plant. and
the city was thrown into 4 sitting dark
ness. Confusion reisned. People rushed
into the streets from every direction.
THAT the deaths were not moro than
announced Is marvellous. but can be ac-
counted for probably by the fact that
and offices maintaining large clerical
forces had finished the days work and
gone to their homes.
ITO add to the terror of the night fire
broke out in various parts of the ruined
district. 1t was known that many were
under the ruins of the wrecked build
ings. To rescue these was the first task
Vandalism was also soon apparent, and
Ia keep back persons who were frenzied
with grief over missing friends nd rela-
tivcs the local militia was called out by
the mayer. A Gordon of armed men was
thrown around the ruined business dis
triCt. Lamps. candles and lanterns wcr"
pressed into service by those engaged in
the work Of rescue
soon after the ruins caught fire an
alarm was sent i'll to the fire depart
ment. The firemCn worked herocally to
cOnrine the fire to the ruined area and by
. A. NJ. their efforts had succeeded.
"Wreckage. ruin and death appear to
the eye along the path of the tornado as
1t leads into the country. Telegraph
wires for miles in either direction are
prostratCd.'

DEATH BY INDIGESTION.
A Long Train Of Fatal Ills is the Direct
Result of Undigested Food.

Undigcsted food, by fcrmenting.
forms d poison in the stomach and this
is absorbed in the blood. If this goes
on very long, and your heart happens
to be weak, you'll be found some MORN
ing dead in bed, or you may fall back
down the stairs about an hour and
half after dinner, and the doctor will
call it heart disease. Yes, that may be
the result, but not the cause. The
cause is indigestion. Indigestion is a
simple common word, but it has Il
terrible import.
And so YOU may get apopleXy. and
die suddenly while you're standing.
| If you have a weak liver. the poison
Of undigested food will attack it and
you will get jaundice. If you have
| weak kidneys. you will get Bright's
disease or diabetes, from which there
| is no rescue for any man.
| 1t was learned physician who said
that the progress of a race depended
upon the stomachs of its members.
| And you have at some time in your
life eaten a heavy meal. or eaten in a
hurry, and felt that lump of lead" i'm
mediately afterward. That lump of
lead is a hard ball of undigested food.
The stomach can't digest it, and finds
| it hard to throw it out. And so it
sours. and makes you sour and every
body sour who talks with you. 1t gives
you bad breath and is building for
you the road to dyspepsia and death,
unless YOU stop it.
Stop it with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. Just think, these little tablets are

digest 5000 grains of food. Isn't this
wonderful? And it is true. just try it,
and prove it,

burn. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
make 1t disappear before it can do any
harm to your heart or other organs.
They will invigorate the stomach, re-
lieve the stomach of two-thirds of it's
work and give it chance to rest. They

it will be after you have eaten a good
hearty meal and taken one of these
little tablets Immediately afterward.
You'll just feel fine.

ORDER OUT OF CHAOS.
Big Crew Of Men at Work on the Ruins
at Meridian, Miss.

birmingham, Ala, March A Spe-
cial to the Age-Hcrald from Meridian,
Miss. says:
Before an army of determined men
attacking Meridian's storm-swept and
debris-strcwn streets, the vast amount
of wreckage is giving away slowly but
surely. Working in relief squads. the
self-institutcd saIvagers are bringing
some order out of chaos. The Sabbath h
following the disastrous storm of Fri
day was a day of funerals.
Seldom, if ever, visited by a storm of
cyclonic proportions. the merchants
and residents of Meridian had never
protected themselves with storm or cy-
clone policies, so in the matter of adj
justments of insurance. agents will
have little or no auditing beyond the
fire loss. A million and quarter dol
lars is now thought to be a conserva-
tive estimate of the damage wrought.
There has been an entire absence of
vandalism, which frequently follows on
the heels of such disasters.
After leaving Meridian and entering
Macon, a suburban town about five
miles distant, all trace of the storm
seems to nave disappeared, little. ii
any, damage being reported from the
country. Claude Williams. an employe
Of the Neville Co, who, it was thought
at first. had committed suicide, after
being imprisoned in the collapse of that
building. occupied by that company, is
now believed to have died natural
death. From the position of the body
which lay near q display case, the
opinion is that his throat was pune
tured on the jagged glass in such a
manner as to produce instant death.
NO additions to the casualties list
have been made, the estimates stand
ing at so.
