WE MUST ALL
 ALL EAT SLOWLY Says This Is Best Rule to Follow TO AVOID INDIGESTION Advice as to Best Method of
 Treatment. Suggested Formula of NeutraIizins Mixture to COunteraet AcidIty And Prevent FOrmation of
 U"S'

There are two good reasons why gapid eating causes more dyspepeia 4 than anything else" said a notsd authority. 'fn the first place. rapidly sWahowed food is not thorouRfily chewed. It goes into the stomach be- fore 1t has been broken up and per- meated by the saliva of the mouth too often 1t is washed down with Ice wafer. The other reason is that a man who eats in a hurry usually rushes back to work. He puts his energy into his work, and draws his blood to his muscles. or his brain, at a time when 1t is needed in his stomach"
 The best rule to follow Is to "eat slowly, chew your food thoroughly, and rest for while after your meal. p Dyspepsia is easily avoided but dif- ticult to cure. Instead of dosing with pepsin. in an Intellectual attempt to lock the stable after the horse is stolen, the best practitioners now Adays prefer to administer some good alkaline elixir or neutralizing cordial to stimulate the gastric juices. and put an immediate check on Fermentation. The following formula has been sug- gested as making an effective antacid and neutralizing corrective; 1-2 ounce sodium phosphate; ounce essence of sealmint; 1-2 teaspoonful good baking soda; enough water to make 8 ounces Dose: two teaspoonsful before each meal.
 The sodium phosphate especially has a distinct value in eliminating wastes from the system.
 It is said that this simple mixture 1t can be mixed at home or obtained From any druggist-will relieve gas immediately. and that 1t will perman- ently cure long standing cases of in- digestion within two or three weeks.

DENIES ANTAGONISM
PRESIDENT JORDAN REPELS JEAL-
 OUS CHARGES.
Declares Rivalry Between Him and President of Farnaers' Union Does Not Exist, and Hopes s
 for Sueeeam.

Denying that jealousy exists between himself and President Barrett of the Farmers Union. and caused big cot ton meetings to be held by the Southern l Cotton Association in Memphis this l week. while the former organization is Harvie Jordan of the Cotton Associa- tios, has issued an interview on the subject. He points out that the Mem phis meeting was called prior to the call of the New Orleans gathering, and declares that he hopes good win come from both assemblages.
 l Moreover, Mir. Jordan says he ex- tended an invitation to the Farmers Union to join in the Memphis confer ence and lend all their aid to Its suc- cess.
 His interview in full follows: The first public notice indicating call for a cotton conference in the month of November was published in Atlanta on the afternoon of Oct. 12.
 This interview I gave out, stating the reason for calling the cotton con- florence, and further that was leaving Atlanta that afternoon for Memphis to arrange the final details of the con- ference to be held in that citty about Nov. 10. The Associated Press handled this interview on the night of Oct. F. My first notice on the part of Presi- dent Charles S. Barrett to call any of- hcial meeting of the Farmers Union in New Orleans for the same date as the Memphis conference appeared in the Memphis papers on the morning of Oct A. As soon as the press dis patches stated the call for the New Orleans conference. President & M. Williamson of the Business Mems Club of Memphis. under whose auspices the Memphis cotton conference will be held. immediately wired President Bar rett 8 cordial invitation to have the Farmers Union join in with the Mem phis cotton conference and defer the New Orleans meeting to a later date The Memphis conference would gladly welcome the official body of the Farm CTS Union as well as its members. as the Farmers Union was specifically embraced in the call of delegates for the Memphis conference.
 Personally, I hope that great good will be accomplished by both meet ings.
 T have given the above statement of facts because I do not wish to have my position misunderstood. or to have any one imagine that I was trying to minimize the efforts of the Farmers Union in any meetings it's officials de- sire to call. or to have it appear that there is any spirit of rivalry or antag- onsm in any manner whatsoever, be- tween President Barrett and myself"
 Many Montgomery delegates are ex- pecting to attend the Memphis meet ing.

POLICY HELD VALID
JUDGMENT or S5,I55.4o FOR WEST
 corr ESTATE.
Indiana Stnte Life Was ContesfIng In- surance Contract on Life of
 Late W. n. West.

Rendering an affirmative charge Judge W. H. Thomas allotted $5l55.49 to the plaintiff in the suit of S. H. Westcott and others against the State Life Insurance Company. of Indlanap- oils. Saturday afternoon. The suit was for the payment of life insurance policy, which had been taken by the late w. D. Westcott in the State Life Insurance Company. The payment of the policy had been refused by the company on account of an alleged mis- statement said to have been made by Westcott when taking out the policy.
 S. H. Westcott. as exeeutof of the estate of W. D. Westcott entered suit for the payment of the policy. As compromise the life insurance company offered to remit all premiums paid, but the plaintiff suing for the entire amount, was allotted not only the $5,- 900. but also interest since July. 1908. when the suit was filed, to the amount of $l55.49.;
 The contention of the life insurance company was that Mir. Westcott had declared that at the time of taking out the policy. he had no applications pend ing in other companies. Later. 1t de- veloped. such applications were pend Ing, and that the declaration, though inadvertent, was a misstatement.
 However. deciding that the nlfsstate- ment did not increase the risk of loss, nor did 1t effect an increase in the pre- mium charged, nor the possibilities of rejection, Judge Thomas declared that the contention was not sufficient as q basis of non-payment. l
 The case was decided by Judge Thomas. no jury sitting. Beginning Thursday, the case lasted. with minute discussion, until Saturday afternoon, when the decision was rendered.
 It Is likely that an appeal will be taken from the decision, though it Is rather early at present to state defi- nitely the attorneys decision on this score.

DISTRICT COURT IN
SESSION AT SlGouRNEY.

Sigourney-The case Of State Of
Iowa VS.. Anna Conkiin was tried in
the district court Wednesday for as
sault with intent to commit murder.
The case occupied all day and the
jury after being QUO about fifteen
hours returned verdict finding the
defendant guilty OF simple assault.
When this offense was committed in
June 1908 at What Cheer, Mrs. Conk-
lin was conducting restaurant IN
that town and as there was q street
carnival then in progress, 1t seems
from the evidence the boys" were
having a good time. SO four young
men, one Of whom was d Frank Hawk
the town marshal Of Lelta, went to
the Hawk restaurant at a late hour in
the night to get something to eat.
Soon after their arrival one of them
pulled out a bottle of reer and went
to drinking, whereunon they We're IN
formed by the defendants daughter
that no drinking WIS permitted in
their place Of business. He responded
with curses The daughter called her
father who ordered the men out Of the
place and a scuffle followed. During
the scufle one Of tie four parties
pulled out q knife and threatened to
cut him to pieces. As Mr. Hawk was
battling with four men he concluded
he needed help and called for assist
ance. His wife, the defendant. came
from the back part Of the room and
picked up a revolver and fired at
Frank Hawk. striking him on the left
breast, where the bullet evidently
struck some hard substance and fell
to the floor, leaving only a small
wound on the man body. The case
will likely be appealed to the supreme
court

emnn nelled in the case Of the State Of

INTEREST I'M MYERS CASE AT
MT. PLEASANT AT HIGH PITCH

Mt. Pleasant, Dec. 11.-(Special)--
Interest in the Myers case which is
now on trial in the district court still
continues at fever pitch. The court
room Is crowded at every session by a
throng of interested spectators.
Whether or not that woman was men
tally unbalanced at the time she at
tempted to burn her step daughter and
family up is hanging in the balance
and the penitentiary or the insane
asylum stare the defendant in the
face. Popular sentiment seems to be
that she was not insane at that time
but testimony SENS 10 show that at
all times during the past two or three
years she has not been in the best of
mental condition. The next two or
three days of the case will be battle
of experts. Each side will put several
experts in insanity and nervous troub
les, on the stand and their testimony
WIN have great weight.
Mr.. Myers was on the stand almost
the entire day In his Tifes behalf. He
testified to many details, of their do
nestic life for the mast twenty years
and attempted to show that at times
she was mentally unbalanced. Es-
pecially during certain spells which
she would have at which time it would
be impossible to live with her.
