A Reasonable Plea
 For the Stomach
If Your Stomach Is Lacking In Digest i've Power, Why Not Help the Stom- ach Do Its Work-EspecialIy When It Costs Nothing
 To Try?

Not with drugs, but with a reinforce ment of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach? Seien- tlfc analysis shows that digestion re- qures pepsin, nitrogenous ferments, and the secretion of hydrochloric acid. When your food fails to digest, it is proof posi- tive that some of these agents are lacking in your digestive apparatus.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain noth- ing but these natural elements necessary to digestion and when placed at work ill the weak stomach and small intestines, supply what these organs need. They stimulate the gastric glands and gradually bring the digestive organs back to their normal condition.
 Stuarts Digestive Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at home and abroad and are found to con- tain nothing but natural digestives.

 I have analysed most carefully a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets (which I bought myself at a city chemists shop for the purpose). manufactured by the F. A. Stuart Co.,, Temple Chambers, Lon don, E. C. and have to report that I cannot find any trace of vegetable or min eral poisons. Knowing the ingredients of the tablets, I am of the opinion that they are admirably adaptable for the purpose for which they are intended.

 There is no secret in the preparation of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. Their con- position is commonly known among phy- sicians. as is shown by the recommends = tion of 10000 licensed physicians in the limited states and Canada. They are the most popular of all remedies for indiges- ton. dyspepsia, water brash, insomnia, loss of appetite. melancholia, constipation, dvsentery and kindred diseases originating from improper dissolution and assimila- tion of foods, because they are thoroughly reliable and harmless to man or child.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are at once s safe and a powerful remedy, one grain of these tablets being strong enough (by test to digest 5000 grains of steak, eggs and other foods. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets will digest your food for you when your stomach can't.

Worth More Than Gold Mines.

A remarkable story is told by Mr. C. b Wilson, which demonstrates the Tact that some of the iron lands of Russell valley are worth more than gold mines. He says:
 "A few years ago I sold a small plot of gronnd-about an acre-iying near Rus sellyille to a negro as a building sltet for the sum of $50. He occupied ana cul- tivated the land for some tune, then gave one of the mining companies an op- ton on it at valuation or sooo' " hiie they were mining the ore from adJoln- inc, land their option expired, and tne negro sold the plot for $500 cash to a connie of citizens who knew the value or if. When the mining company realized their oversight they tried to buy thIs pit of ore land from the recent purchasers; but could not get it, and were cohpeieu 10 pay royalty or hfteen cents n a ton ol, all the ore obtained from it. Their steam shovels are now digging away, and II IS estimated that more than twenty-five thousaud tons will be dug amounting 10 a rnvalty of nearly S4000 for this single acre. And there are adjoining acres Just as rich. , Colonel Ensley once asked a man what he would take for ten acres of land which he owned near Russellville. The man said he would sell it for S5 an acre as 1t was a little rough Tor farmng. me price was paid. and this piece of land IS one of the richest now owned by the sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company This company owns large tracts or iron land a few miles east of Russeilyille' and operates five immense washers where by the means of water the ore is separated from the soil, and upwards of thousand tons daily are loaded in cars and sent to the furnaces at Sheffield and Florence.

from him much of the data of this story has been obtained. Among his fathers neighbors of whom he speaks people con- spicuous in the history Of the country, were such old families as the Harrises, Burgesses Nances. Nooes, MeCulloughs Suggs and Bullocks. Mir Rankhead, fa- ther of the congressman, was also one of the old residents. Many of the de- scendants of these pioneers are still re- siding in the valley. One of the leaders in the country at that time was Mir Brlce Wilson, native of Scotland, who settled in the valley about the year lS20 He was the father of the Wilson broth CTS of Russellville, men foremost in the commercial interests of the town, and who for many years have been closely identified with the progress of the place. There are very few towns in the south the size of Russelville that can show such an establishment as that Of the Wilson Mercantile company as regards their large, commodious store house and the amount of business transacted.
 There are number of other firms, strong financially and doing business in thoroughly modern brick and stone struc- lures.
 The town has two banks in flourish ing condition. churches of the leading re- ligious denominations. good schools, ana many modern and comfortable homes The handsome new Methodist church is an edifce of which much larger town might well be proud.
