 'In the year 1887 I gave out from over work, and until 1901 remained an invalid in bed a great part of the time. Had different doctors but noth- ing seemed to help. I suffered from cerebro- spinal congestion, female trou- ble and serious stomach and bowel trouble. My husband called a new doc tor and after having gone without food for ten days the doctor ordered Grape Nuts for me. could eat the new food from the very first mouthful. The doc tor kept me on Grape Nuts and the only medicine was >a little glycerine to heal the ailmentary canal
 When was dp again doctor told me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day and no white bread for two weeks. I got well in good time and have gained in strength so I can do my work again
 My brain has been helped so much and 1 know that the Grape-Nuts food did this, too. l found had been made i'll because I was not fed right. that is I did not properly digest white bread and some other food tried to live one

AssIsTANr SECRETARY BACON.
Cab't Explain His Deliberate Wrong

cSb't Explain His Deliberate Wrong Washington Special to New York Times. Acting Secretary of State Bacon is miral Davls's withdrawal from Kings ton, which was published all over the world side by side with the fact of the withdrawal. MT. Bacon had a differ day His final one was that he would have given out the facts if he had known that the newspapers already had them. He knew of the withdraw al of the ships at the time he so em- phatically denied 1t.
 Mir. Bacon also delivered various lec- eaiiers Ess 0 Wns}a s' the new"paPeTs s shoaId li print and what they should leave out. He held that newspapers should print only the facts. but did not explain they printed only such facts as Mir Bacon gave out last night
 It disturbed MT. Bacon today to find harmless little statement of last night so seriously and are granting a re- spite to Swettenham" on the strength of thing ever since he took ofilce, and never before has 1t attracted the slight est attention. He cannot understand why it should attract any nov:
 what short with the newspaper man to whom he gave his memorable state ment last night. True. he gave permis- sion that he be quoted, but he is in- clined to think that he was not fairly treated, in that his interviewer did not reveal to him the fact that the Asso- ciaed Press was already in possession of the things concerning which Mir Bacon was interviewed
 It has been pointed out to Mir Bacon that his interviewer did try to tell Lim that the facts were already known and did in fact start to read the dis patches to him, Sut that Mir. Bacon cut him short. Mir. Bacon admits all this, but cannot see that it makes any diff ference. He still feels hurt.

Catarrh of the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Ei
 fectual Cure for It.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloated sensation after eating, accom- | panied sometimes with sour or watery risings, formation Of gases, caus- ing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing. headaches, fickle appetite. nervousness and d gem eral played out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste in the mouth. coated tongue and If the inte. rior of che stomach could be seen 1t would show a sllmy inhamed eondi- ton.
 The cur: for this common and obstI- nate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily. thoroughly dlgested before 1t has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mu- cous surfaces of the stomach To se- cure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do. and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal con ltion will have disap- peared.
 According to Dr. Harlanson, the saf- est and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet composed ot Dias- tase Aseptic Pepsin, bttle Nux, Gold en seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not being d patent medi- cine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals.
 Mir. R. s. Workman. Chicago. H.. writes: "Catarrh Is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes Infamed and the pols- onous discharge thcrefrom passing backward into the throat. reaches the stomach, thus producing catarth of the stomach. Medical authorities prescrib- ed for me for three years for catarrh of stomach without cure. but today am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cannot find appropriate words to express my good feeling I have found flesh. appetite and sound rest from their use"

OFFICIALS HEARD
REPRESENTATIVES, OF TELEGRAPH
 COMPANIES. TALK ON BILL.
s. A. Duncan of Postal, Declares Pro- posed Legfslutfon Would Close All But Nine offices in
 Alabama.

l The Committee on Judiciary of the
 House of Representatives, at a meet
 ing held yesterday afternoon at 3:3O | o'clock, gave a hearing to the represen- l tatives of the Western Union and Pos- tai Companies. upon the pending bills regulating telegraph companies. The | principal provisions of these measures
 arc that all telegraph offices shall be | opened from 6 o'clock in the morning | until midnight; that telegrams must be l delivered anywhere in the incorporated | limits of a city O rtown: that not only l substantive damages. but damages for | mental anguish might be secured for l failure to deliver messages and pre- 1 scribing a penalty of $50 for failure to | deliver a telegram within reasonable | time
 E. K. Campbell of Birmingham. and
 Ray Rushton of Montgomery, appeared
 as representatives Of the Western Union, and S. A. Duncan of Atlanta, As-
 sistant General Manager of the Postal l Company. The principal address to | the meeting, however. was delivered by MT. Duncan.
 He dwelt upon the statistical side | of the questions involved, rather than | the legal sides and upon the practical WOrklnR or the LeleSTdpn %FslelIlS' Alo
 said the proposed Legislation invited a | species of litigation that promised to be so voluminous that a large corps of attorneys would have to be employl | ed to handle it.
 He showed that by extending the de- l livery boundaries. regardless of local needs, the cost of delivering messages
 would be greatly increased. The cost
 at the present time, he stated. was ] 27 1-2 cents for every telegram handl-
 ed, and he made the statement that if
 the State of Alabama were considered
 by itself, the business would be a los
 ing one; all the money was made on
 the interstate business, and that is all
 that keeps up the system with profit.
 With regard to the hours of keeping
 offices open. Mir. Duncan said that if
 the proposed hours should be estab
 lished, it would be necessary to close
 all but nine offices in Alabama. as the
 cthers would all show deficit in the
 amount of business done.

TIE STOMACH
 ON A STRIKE
The Tonic Treatment for Indi-
 gestion Most Successful.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills Cured
 This Case.
A Household Remedy Which Is Useful in a Wide Range of
 Common Ailments.

Los. of appetite, coated tongue. bad taste in the mouth. heavy dull headacne and a dull sluggish feeitng-tnese are the symptoms of stomach trouble. They indicate that the stomach is on strike that 1t is no longer furnishing to the blood the full quota of nourishment that the body demands, hence every or gan suffers.
 There are two methods of treatment, the old one by which the stomach is humored by the use. of pre-digested foods aid artificial ferments. and the new one by which the stomach Is toned up to do the work which nature intend ed of 1t. A recent cure by the tonic treatment Is that of Mrs. Mary Stack pole, of s1 Liberty Street, Lowell, Mass. She says:
 q suffered constantly for years from stomach trouble and terrible backaches and was confined. to my bed for the greater part of three years. I was un- der the cares of our family physician most of the time. but did not seem to get better.
 T was completely run down and was not able to do ~fny work about the house. My blood syas impure and my |complexi,n pale. suffered from flash es of heat, followed suddenly by chills. I had awful headaches. which lasted from three to four days. I could get but little rest at night, as my sleep was broken and fitfui., As a result I lost several pounds in weight and became very nervous.
 I was in wretched condition when Dr. Williams Pink Pills were brought to my notice by a bovk1et which was left at my house. I started to take the pills at once and began to gain in weight and health, I was encouraged by this to keep on until I was cured. My friends and neighbors often remark what . changed woman am and owe 1t all to Dr. willaims' Pink Pills.
 These wonderful pills have been use- ed with the best results n the treat ment of stubborn cases of stomach trouble and as they are powerful blood builder and nerve tonic they are useful in wide range of diseases such as anaemia, rheumatism, sciatica.- neu- ralgia nervous headaches. and even To- comotor ataxia and partial paralysis
