EATEN OUT OF
 HOUSE AND HOME
How Confirmed Dyspeptic Developed an Appetite Like Corn-Husker's and Cleaned Out Everything
 In Siuht

l The wife of a leading druggist of Des Moines tells how her brother was changed | from dyspeptic without appetite to d prodigious eater.
 My brother, who is a lawyer in Chi cago, came to visit me and I hardly knew him on his arrival he was so thin and run down. l had not seen him for years and was much alarmed at his appearance He told me not to worry as he had beer in this condition for years as a result of chronic dyspepsia. I asked him what he had done for it. and he said he had done everything-taken every remedy he had ever heard of and consulted doctors with. out number. none of them helped him. I asked him if he ever took Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets, and he said he hadn't and what was more he wouldn't. He had sworn off taking medicine of any kind
 'I had my husband bring home a box from the store and l actually made him take one or two of the tablets after he had eaten. They made him feel so much better that he offered no further objee- tion He had not taken the one box be- fore he was greatly improved and three or four boxes cured him of dyspepsia and gave him wonderful appetite. He came near eating us out of house and home My but 1t did me good to see him eat He gained fifteen pounds be- fore he returned home. and he writes me that he has not been troubled with dys- pepsia since"
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work assigned to them. They relieve weak and overburdened stomachs of their work of digestive action. Their compo- nent parts are identical with those of the digestive fluids and secretions of the stomach and they simply take up tie grind and carry on the work just the same as a good, strong healthy stomach would do it.
 On this account stuart's Dyspepsia Tab. lets are perfectly natural in their action and effects. They do not cause any un- natural or violent disturbance in the stomach or bowels They themselves d. gest the food and supply the system with all the nourishment contained In what k eaten and carry out Natures plans for the sustenance and maintenance of the body.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. by thus re. lieving the stomach Of it's work enable if tn reeupeTate and regain its normal health and strength. Nature repairs the worn and wasted tissues just as she heals and knits inc bone of broken limb which is of course. not used during the process of repair.

There Is no man better known to the Tennessee public than James D. Rich ardson, former congressman from the Fifth Tennessee district. and his position as democratic leader on the floor of the National House of Representatives made him familiar figure throughout the country. Some years ago Mir. Richard son compiled the sem-ofhcial work known as Messages and Documents of the President" which. because of the data it contained and the excellent man. her of the compilation. was a valuable addition to the United States history.

 The work includes the constitution of the Confederate states and the recorded proceedings of the provisional Congress at Montgomery, as well as the messages of the President and other official papers throughout the life of the Confederate government.
 A very important feature is the diplo- matic correspondence which shows. among other things the efforts made by the Confederate government to obtain re cogntlon from the European nations The book is complete in two volumes of convenient library size and handsome ly bound in red cloth, with gilt lettering Each volume is embellshed with four illustrations The first presents the Con federate capitol at Montgomery as 6

 that he might offer for the United States senatorial succession, but said before go- ing home last night that he had decided against such action. He believes that Mr. Bryan Is far stronger before the neople today than ever in his life and expects to see him president ere long. | Another visitor of large acquaintance in Montgomery was Augustus Benner Of Bir- mingham, twice a member of the legisla- ture from Jefferson county. and author and promoter of some valuable laws now | in use. lie says there is no great amount | of interest this year in the selection Of | the Jefferson delegation, but expects strong body of men will be selected.

DOCTORS WORDS SET
 TONGUES WAGG|NG
Lively Time Expected for Next
 Five Months.
POSITION IS UNUSUAL
He Will Contend That the Railroads Would Rather See Conner Made Governor Than Himself.
 Political Gossip.

Montgomery, March 9.-(Special9-T announcement of Dr. R. NJ Cunningham, candidate for the democratic nomination for governor. that he will begin here next Wednesday a red hot canvass of the state. has been the most generally dis cIssed subject of all sorts of takers to- day.
 There is general belief that he will make it interesting for B. B. Conner. the other aspirant, who has had things his own way so far as campaigning goes, for several months. The assertion of the doctor that he will go into every county i'll the state and make a close contest for the votes presages one of the most in- teresting political fights the state has had for years.
 The friends of Dr. Cunningham have
 been very much chagrinned for some time that he did not get out and do some shelling of the woods, fearing that he
 would allow the other fellow to line up all those who might be in the doubt
 full class by sheer force of his activity That he did not become active led many
 to think that he intended to get out of the race and leave it to his opponent.
 However, it seems now that he had his plans well laid and logically so, as he sees them, contending that there Is plen- ty of time in five months to tell all he knows about the issues and let the peo-
 pie have the fullest discussion of the
 questions up.
 Takes Unusual Position. It is understood that the doctor will
 hold that the railroads are in sympathy
 with the ambitions of MT. Conner and that
 they do not want him (Cunningham) believing that he will be more effectual in reducing the rates than Mir Conner. While this seems rather a remarkaple statement to make in view of the active fight against the roads made by MT Conner, there are many who contend that as between the two men the transporta- tion lines have more to fear from Gun n.rgham than from MT. Conner, It Is now thought that many others
 with bees buzzing in the hats will be here next week about the same time cum ningham opens up his campaign, With d view to feeling of the pulse of the peo- ple Several of what might be termed | lesser lights on the political horizon have
 been in and out for some time and some half dozen were among the voters Of
 the city this week already. Cunningham
 will make visit to every county in
 the state and to many towns in many counties, and he will have good men to | look out for him at each one though l he will spend no money on the campaign other than what it takes to carry him about and pay postage and printing lie says he has no money nor monled 1n- terests to push him along and, being a
 poor man, will have to cut 1t fine on expenses.
