Do Your Meals Fit?
Do You Feel Snug and Comfortable
Around Your Waist Line After
Hearty Meal?

Did your last meal taste deliciously
good to you, and did you eat all you
wanted? Could you have patted your
rOtundity in glee and felt proud of your
appetite and of your good strong stom-
ach: Do you feel rosy now because
your last meal gave you no inconyen-
fence whatever: If not. you have
dyspepsia in some form, and probably
never realized it.
IL you have the least trouble in your
stomach after eating no matter how
little or how much yau eat, there is
trouble brewing and you must correct
it at once
Most all stomach trouble comes from
poor, weak, scanty gastric juice, that
precious liquid which ought to turn
your food into rich, red blood.
If you have nausea. your gastric
juice is weak. If you have sour ris-
ings or belchings, your food is fer
menting; your gastric juice is weak If
you have loss of appetite your gastric
juice is weak. If you have a bloaty
feeling of ayarsion to food, your gas
trio juice is weak.
You need something in your stom-
ach to supply the gastric juice which is
scanty, and to give power to the weak
gastric juice. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets do this very thing.
Now think-One grain of one of the
ingredients of these wonderful little
tablets digests 5000 grains of food.
hey are several times more powerful
than the gastric juice in good. strong.
powerful stomach. They actually di-
gest your food for you. Besides, they
| increase the flow of gastric juice, just
what you need to get all the good pos
sible out of everything you eat. You
will never have that lump Of lead in
your stomach nor any other stomach
trouble after taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. Then everything YOU eat
will be digested, it will give you
strength, vim. energy and rosy dispo-
sition. You'll feel good all around
your waist line after every meal and
it will make you feel good all over.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will make
YOU feel happy after eating a good,
| hearty meal. Take one or two after
eating You'll feel fine-then' your
meals will fit, no matter what or when

HIGH SCHOOL FRATERNiTIES.

School boards in various cities OF the
state seem to have been successful in
stamping out the high school fraterni-
ties and by so doing have conferred a
real benefit on the present and future
citizens of this state. 1t is not that
high school students are too young, but
that fraternities engender the wrong
spirit in a public school. All public
schools are by their nature primarily
democratic, and the fraternity in pub
lie school tends to defeat that object.
High school fraternities are but social
organizations. and in no way ap-
proach the ideals or practices of the
lodges or secret orders to which more
mature men and women belong. The
high school fraternity being for social
purposes alone, naturally draws the
lines tightly and is essentially exclu-
sive. therefore, teaching not democra-
cy. but the exclusiveness out of which
has grown our modern and snobbish
high society" The modern lodge or
secret order reaches out its hand to
all who are worthy to join. whether
they are rich or whether they are poor,
thus helping to preserve and perpetu-
ate those ideals of democracy and
equality which our forefathers left to
our country. BY substituting the eX-
clusively social spirit for the open
handed and open-hearted democracy Of
the lodges the high school fraternity
subjects many members of the school
body to the pangs of bitter disappoint-
ment, because they were not good fell
lows" enough to be thought worthy OF
admission, no matter how worthy they
may have been morally and otherwise.
Thus we see the high school fraternity
was at variance with we'll established
American customs and beliefs and
those of our school boards that secur-
ed their elimination from the public
schools have done their state and coun-
| try a great service.

ter things as is clearly shown in the
number and resources of our banks
and savings institutions. Turning
from these material considerations we
come to the twenty-siX churches iii the
city showing that our material adj
vancement has not surpassed nor fall
len behind but has gone along with
our spiritual advancement. And, just
as important, is the number and equip
ments of our schools and colleges,
showing that the greater help to either
the spiritual or material life, know
ledge, is we'll provided for our future
generations. And with all these things
we can not help but feel that Rich
monds success in the past will be con-
tinued indefinitely under such condi-
lions and surrounded by such environ
ments.

CARS ARE In DEMAND.

October, always an active month in
the traffic world, Is full of business
this year. The grain traffic is report
ed as the largest since the fall of 1898
Deliveries at Chicago last week aggre-
gated 9,S37,OO0 bushels. This COM
pares with S,674,OOO bushels the pre-
ceding week, with 100000 bushels
for the corresponding week of 1906,
and 6,75O,OOO bushels for 1868. Chi
cago reflects conditions elsewhere, as
receipts of grain at the primary mar
kets were 2O,9SSOOO bushels, the
greatest in eight years. This great
movement of grain is due to the extra
ordinary efforts of the railroads to
meet the emergency by rushing empty
cars to points in the West at which
grain shipments are made.

of NobIeman.
Here is story of the battlefield.
There was war between the Swedes
and the Danes. One day a great bat
tie was fought. and the Swedes were
beaten and driven from the field. A
soldier Of the Danes who had been
slightly wounded was sitting on the
ground. He was about to take a drink
from a flask. All at once he heard
some one say:
'Oh. sir, give me a drink, for I am
DYING
1t was a wounded Swede who spoke.
He was lying on the ground only lit
tie way off. The Dane went to him at
once. He knelt down by the side of his
fallen foe and pressed the flask to his
lips. Drink" said he, "for thy need is
greater than mine"
Hardly had he spoken these words
when the Swede raised himself on his
elbow. He pulled a pistol from his
pocket and shot at the man who would
have befriended him. The bullet grazed
the Danes shoulder, but did not do
him much harm.
"Ah, you rascalr' he cried. Il was
going to befriend you, and you repay
me by trying to kill me. Now l will
punish you. l would have given you
all the water, but now you shall have
only half And with that he drank
the half Of it and then gave the rest to
the Swede.
When the king Of the Danes heard
about this he sent for the soldier and
had him tell the story just as it was
"Why did you spare the life of the
Swede after he had tried to kill your
asked the king.
Because, sir" said the soldier, ~
could never kill a wounded enemy"
Then you deserve to be a noble
man." said the king. And he rewarded
him by making him knight and Civ
ing him a noble title.-"Famous Stories

responsible position as president Of
the Pennsylvania railroad can not be
otherwise than broad and just in his
dealings with his fellow men. Nat
urally President McCrea owes allegi-
ance to the Pennsylvania railroad and
must act for its best interests where
they do not conflict with the laws of
the land. That this latter part is
true has been clearly demonstrated by
the recent government Investigations
Now the state railroad commission has
decreed that the Pennsylvania railroad
shall cooperate with the c., c. & L. in
providing freight interchange so as to
benefit Richmond's industries Would
it not be a good plan, therefore, for a
committee from the Commercial club
to arrange, if possible, to meet Presi-
dent McCrea when he passes through
Richmond on his tour of inspection, Ok
plain the situation to him and try TO
arrive at a satisfactory conclusion that
will be fair to all parties concerned?

ORDERS LEAD TO CONFUSION.

Printing bills of Southern and Yves
tern railroads are being very substan-
TALLY increased through the necessity
of reissuing, under the regulations
prescribed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in Special Circular No.
14A, very many tariffs, the changes in
which would formerly have been eff
fected by the issuance OF supplements.
A large number of tariffs on cotton,
cottonseed products, coal, live stock
and lumber are being turned out at
present and, undoubtedly to the charg-
in of tariff departments, many of them
are being turned back by the com
mission as not being in precise con-
formity with the rules promulgated.
