What is called good living eventu- ally brought me to condition qulte the reverse of good health, writes N. Y. merchant.
 Improper eating told on me till my stomach became so weak that food nauseated me, even the iightest and simplest lunch and I was much de- pressed after night of uneasy sum Der, uniting me for business.
 This condition was discouraging, as I could find no way to improve it. Then l saw the advertisement of Grape Nuts food and decided to try 1t, ana became delighted with the result
 For the past three years 1 have used Grape Nuts and nothing else for my breakfast and for lunch before retir- ing. It speedily set my stomach right and I congratulate myself that l have regained my health. There is no great CT comfort for a tired man than a lunch of Grape Nuts. It insures rest ful sleep, and an awakening in the morning with a feeling Of ouoyant courage and hopefulness.

Food Poisons.
90 Per Cent of All Diseases the Result of UndIgested Putrefylng Foods.


 Men of affairs, women of society and childen with active brains are too often sedentary in their habits, giving little time to exercise. To this evil is added that of high and irregular liv- ing-as a result, the stomach cannot stand the demands made upon 1t. The abused and overtaxed stomach does not properly do the work of digestion, food taken in ferments and the poison permeates the whole system. The body loses in weight and becomes a prey for the attack of whatever disease it may encounter.
 Did 1t ever occur to you how busy that stomach of yours is? It only holds three pints, but in one year you force 1t to take in z,4oo pounds of material, digest 1t and prepare 1t for assimila- ton into the blood. No wonder 1t re- bels when overworked. We crowd it with steaks and pastry, irritate its juices with spices and acids, and ex- pect the stomach to do its work. 1t cant do it.
 All over the inner layer of the stom- ach are glands which seorete the juices necessary to digestion. The entrance of food into the stomach is the signal for these glands to do their work. The more the food, and the more indigesti- ble, the greater the. demand upon them and upon the muscles of the wall ad- joining.
 Think of the tons of high seasoned game -ssweetmeats and appetizers crammed into this little four-ounce mill and then wonder, If you will. why l you are dizzy or nauseated or eonstt- | pated. Don't blame your stomach or | curse your fate that you should be born so unfortunate. Blame yourself and | apply the remedy.
 First, get a small package of Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets. taking one after each meal and at bed time. They are | not a medicine. but a digestive. Your | stomach Is worn out and needs help ] not medicine. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab | lets will do the work that the stomach ] fails to do There's enough power in one grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets l to digest 5000 grains of ordinary food so YOU needn't fear that anything you eat will remain in your stomach undi- | gested.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will rOut the poison because they remove the l cause-food fermentation They are natures own cure for dyspepsia. The ! host of troubles dyspepsia is father of cannot be numbered, for healthy stomach is the source of all health.
 Seize your opportunity before worse | conditions confront you. Send today l for A free trial package of Stuarts | Dyspepsia Tablets. They will bring 1eour stomach relief. F. A. Stuart Co. | s3 Stuart Bldg. Marshall, Mich.

PENRosEs OPINION.
Says He Believes Brownsville Outrage
 Was Carefully Planned.


 San Antonio. Texas, Feb. 28.-"Were it not for the damaging evidcnce of the empty shells and used clips I should be of the firm belief that none of my men were in any way, connected with the crime, but with this fact so pain fully before me I am not only con vinced 1t was perpetrated by men of this command. but that 1t was care fully planned beforehand"
 The above is an extract of letter written by Major Penrose of the 25th Infantry to the military secretary of the Department of Texas on August 15, 1906, and introduced as evidence by Judge Advocate Hay today in the Pen rose court martial proceedings grow ing out of the shooting up of the town of Brownsville. Texas, in August last.
 Continuing, the letter reads:
 "I believe from seven to ten men were implicated in this matter. Some of them must have had key to the gun rack and after check roll call was taken-for all were reported present at II D. m., roll call-they stepped out of the quarters, did the shooting. re- turning while the companies were forming and at some time during the early, morning hours cleaned thelI guns"

large cities, as it was ccntended that the bill would stop the sale of cocaine In the cities.
 The bill of Senator Moody to mark the graves of Confederate soldiers buried in the State of Ohio was passed by the Senate as its first act when the night session began. The bull was uii- der consideration when the Senate ad journed for the afternoon session. A substitute for the original bill was ad- opted by the committee which gave the commission created by the bill the right to spend or not spend the ap- propriatfon for the marking of the graves. It carries an appropriation or s3.2o0 to mark the graves If the com mission should so decide. The commis- sion Is composed of the Governor, the Dicertos of the Department of Arch Ives and History and the Commander of the Alabama Division of the
 United Confederate Veterans.
 Senator Moody made a strong speech in support of the bill, of which he
 was the author. He spoke with pride of the sentiment of the South to re- member it's heroes. He was of the opir- ion that in erecting monuments. the South led every other section. The bill was passed after short discussion. The bill to prohibit the sale of ser- tain narcotic drugs occasioned some !. discussion. After Senator Merritt had explained the bill, Senator Strother said that while the measure was good in It's intent, 1t would forbid the sale of cough mixtures or soothing lsyrups. which might be harmless. or very nearly harmless. Senator Gardner said If this were true he was not ready to support to bill. for. as the father ;of children, he knew what a blessing soothing syrup was on some occasions.
 Senator Hamburger urged the pas sage of the bill.
 Tt Is a good measure, an important measure" said Mir. Hamburger, T know of my own knowledge that some of the most horrible crimes commit fluence of cocaine"
 Senator Hayes was not willing to support the bill so long as 1t forbade the sale of cough mixtures and sooth- ing syrups, In which there were some times a mixture of narcotics, Senator Merritt agreed to an amend ment which would exclude the pre- paratorIes" features of the bill. and make it apply only to narcotics in their own form. This was adopted. but the roll had to be called twice to get quorum to vote. Senator Thomas of- fered an amendment changing the title of the bill. and 1t was adopted. but in the passage of the bill, a quorum fail ed to vote.
 The Senate during the consideration of local bills passed the bill of Sen ator Teasley to raise the salary of the Judge of the City Court of Mont gomery from ss,000 to $3,soo annually. There was no opposition to the bill and no discussion.
 The bill to provide stenographer for the City Court of Montgomery was also passed.
