CHAINED TO A CORPSE.
Doleful Punishment of the Ancients Duplicated In Our Modern Life.

The Romans used to punish a murderer by chaining to his body the corpse Of his victim. Wherever he went he drag ged behind him the debris of his crime, the sleazy cadaver, reyolt1ng thing that was once man.
 Every day you see people dragging around with them the corpse of their sins They can't get away from them. And many of them have become so in- innate with these corpses that they be- come corpses themselves. The misery of these poor unfortunates has become con stitutional with them. It fits them like an old shoe. They have become accus- toned to 1t.
 And there are thousands of humans who are walking the earth today with corpses attached to them,-dyspeptic stomaehs they can't get rid of. They have to get along the best they can with the stomachs they have. And the owners of said dyspeptic stomachs are to be found in every walk in life, suffering from some form of indigestion. first cousin to dyspepsia.
 They wear that forlorn appearance, their energy is at zero, nothing inter- ests them, and they interest no one. their faces are shrunk their nerves are wilted and their shoulders sag. Are you one of the myriads who dandle and grat- ify their palates, at the sacrifice of their stomachs? Are you one of those who allow their senses to run riot, eating too much, drinking too much, eating at the wrong time, eating the half-cooked, the queer and the impossible?
 Are you bloated after eating and inn aeine that it is your food that fills you? Do you have nausea when you look upon this or that, rebel at one thing and be hungry for it, too. at the same time? And have you got a whole lot of other things the matter with your stomach that you know about but nobody else does, and cant explain? If so, you have dyspepsa, real dyspepsia. And the chances are that you have had 1t long time
 Your stomach is ovsrworked, abused and fagged out. The gastric and digest i've juices are weak, the muscles of the stomach are jaded, and the whole bus mess needs new life. It needs some thing which will take hold of the food as it comes in and do the digesting' and let your stomach take a rest.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do that very thing. They contain a most powerful ingredient which helps the stomach in the process of digestion, cures dyspepsia, sour stomach, Indigestion, heartburn, eructatlons acidty fermentation. They invigorate the stomach, increase the flow of gastric juice, and do two thirds of what the stomach would nave to do without them. That gives the stomach some rest. and chance to get right again.
 You will feel the change first in your mind and heart and then over your whole body You'll feel rosy and sweet. That's the object. You can get these effective little tablets almost anywhere on earth for 50c a package.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets Is the name.

Mhat Liquozone Is

The virtues of Liquozone are de- rived solely from gases, by a process recurring large apparatus, and from to fl days time. No alcohol, no narcotics are in it. Chemists of the highest class direct the making. The result is to obtain from these harmless gases a powerful tonic-germicide.
 The great value of Liquozone lies in the fact that it is deadly to germs, yet harmless to you. Germs are of veget- able origin; and this gas-made product, when absorbed by them, stops their activities. We publish an offer of $1,O00 for a disease germ that it cannot kill. But to the body Liquozone Is exhilarat- ing, vitalizing. purifying. It is helpful in the extreme.
 That is it's main distinction. Com mon germicides are poisons when taken internally. That is why medi- cine proves so nearly helpless in a germ disease. Liquozone is a tonic.

Germ Diseases.

Most of our sickness has, in late years, been traced to germ attacks. The list of known germ diseases now numbers about one hundred.
 Some germs-as in skin troubles directly attack the tissues. Some create toxins, causing such troubles as Rheu- matism, Blood Poison. Kidney Disease and nerve weakness. Some destroy vital organs, as in Consumption. Some like the germs of Catarrh-create inflammation; some cause indigestion. Directly or indirectly, nearly every serious ailment Is germ result. Such diseases call for Liquozone-no drugs, which can't kill germs.
 Every germ attack, no matter what it's symptoms, calls for a germicide. The mIldness of Liquozone makes some

 Negro Schools.
 There is at this time a decided revival in the school work among the negroes and The encouraging feature of 1t is that tho negro parents are getting together and putting up the money for the education of their own children. Superintendent Hill has a picture Of a school house just erected three miles south of Notasulga, known as the James Merchant school. The structure is along modern lines with attractive arrangements and will accom- modate more than 100 pupipls. The pie t1re shows the attendance to he fully that large and Merchant writes that he is receiving encouragement from the peo- ple of the community. both black and white The property has been deeded to the state, in evidence of the desire to be in every way in line. and marks a decid- edlv attractive sentiment on the part of the negroes to help themselves under the auspices of the state.
 It is a fact that can be ascertained by inquiry that a larger per cent of negro children of school age in the state are in school than whites. It seems that they are more anxious to get an education than the white people and are digging away on it. There is hardly a negro school in the state that does not report full attendance and from several sections come requests for advice as to how they can take even better care of the demands upon the rather meagre facilities
