CURE OF DYSPEPSIA
NEW LIGHT RECENTLY THROWN ON
 THIS.
Reasons Why Pepsin Treatment ia Valueless-OutIine of Successful Methods Recently
 EmpfOyed

The majority of physicians are com ing to concede that fin cases of fer mentation in the intestines accom- panied by gas. the ordinary pepsin treatment is valueless. The indiscrim- mate application of the pepsin treat ment seems to have been due to it's successful use in case of gastric insuf- flciency.
 It is now coming to be generally known that pepsin is inefficient ex- cept in an acid medium, and that 1t is consequently of no value on the intes- tines. which are normally alkaline la reaction.
 Obstruction, fermentation, gas--all the severer forms of protracted indi- gestion, require entirely different treatment from the old pepsin method. they require an agent to stimulate the pancreatic secretions, to neutralize g hyperacidity of the stomach before 1t reaches the intestines, and to check the fermentation of undigested food and the formation of gas. Even if pepsin were not immediately destroyed in the aIkalinfty of the intestines, it is incapable of checking fermentation And in fermentation lies the danger of indigestion. It leads to irritation and inflammation of the bowels, and finally to virtually incurable alteration.
 The correct treatment of dyspepsia. and in fact. of the milder forms of in- digestion, lies in the use of almost any good neutralizing mixture or elixir The following prescription has been recommended as displaying prompt results Get from your druggist l-s oz. sodium phosphate and l ounce es- sence of seaImint Mix this thorough ly in a half-pint bottle with f-2 tea spoonful of good baking soda. adding pure water to fill the bottle. Take two teaspoonfuis before each meal
 It is said that thfs mixture win re- Iieve the bowels of gas within fifteen minutes, and that 1t will permanently cure the most aggravated case within two or three weeks. Anyone is free to use this formula and make the medicine up for himself at home. All the ingredients can be had from any druggist at a cost not exceeding 65 or 70 cents.

Amusenenfs
May Rob.on at inc Grana

A clever story. cleverly told by a company of capable actors was the att traction at the Grand Saturday matinee and night when the boards announced May Robson in The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary"
 It Is indeed a delight to witness a performance of an actress who, by many seasons. has acquired the ability to present as delightful a bit of char acter study as Aunt Mary.
 In addition to the fact that there was a delightful character study. the play itself was of the clean comedy sort. It was not the musical hodge, podge that Is usually offered under the guise of comedy. There was but one this. Instead there were bright lines, lines that made one laugh irf spite of ones self; real comedy.
 But 1t is no wonder that managers the road for a lengthy tour at present. when the audiences are as slim as that one last evening. Those who were present enjoyed the offering. there is laughs were genuine, and there were many of them. But 1t takes more than the number present at the performance to nasE msFe make shs tors. intensely enthusiastic over their work.
 If applause may be considered any criterion, last nights production was an immense success. Many times Miss Robson showed her ability for brilliant comedy. and the role of Aunt Mary suited. There can be no doubt that the "Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary will prove itself worthy of the highest praise. and the greater part of Mont- gomery missed 1t. Miss Robson was excellent. and her first appearance in Montgomery will long be remembered.
 The setting of the piece was hand some, and the cast was we'll chosen. Jack Storey as John Watkins. Jr.. Dem ham," the wild college boy. his serapes and his appeals to his Aunt Mary for assistance, furnished the thread of the action, and MT. Storey was well cast.
 So also were Miss Lila Blow as "Betty" and Miss Nina SavilIe as "Lu- cinda." But the cast and the setting all hung about Miss Robson, and her presence, really made the offering the attraction that it proved itself to be < The next offering at the Grand win sbe at matinee and night Monday when Adelaide Thurston will be seen in fThe Woman's Hour"

DECISION TODAY
 IN HUNDLEY CASE
Subcommittee Is Expected To File Its Report With the Judiciary
 Committee.

The acdon of the sub committee of the Senate judiciary committee in making its report to tie judiciary committee will be awaited with great Geal ot interest. To- day the subcommittee reports its verdict concerning the charges filed by Alabama congressman against Judge Oscar k. Hundley, whose nomination to the federal Judgeship of the North Alabama district is pending before the Senate.
 Judge Hundley and Judge Hundley's friends, among the number being the Br- mingham citizens who attended the hear ing and testified in the cause, are abso- lutely confident that the verdict win be a favorable one. They contend that the charges fell through for lack of corrobo- rative testimony, and that Judge Hund- ley came out of the investigation with coloIs flying and with full honor.
 In case the verdict is a favorable one the committee will recommend to the Sem ate that it confirm the nomination of President Roosevelt It is considered ques- tlonable whether or not there will be op- position on the part of some of the sen ators. It has been rumored that Senator F'oraker, a strong ti-administrationist will fight the confirmation on the floor of the Senate.

 WORKING THE CON VICES

"Give us convicts on eounty roads!" T. A. Weller, A. D. Llghtnet, J. w John ston, H. NJ. Waite.
 ''The proof of what other states have done shows that where the convicts are worked, are to be found the best roads, built at less cost than where day labor Is used,9 said T. A. Weller, sales agent of the Bessemer Coal, Iron and Land company
 'In fact the only sections of the south which have perfect roads well maintained at small cost are those In which the con yicts lare worked, Anyone who will examine all the facts will find that tho convict labor, considering all conditions and surroundings, brings the best results in the building and maintaining or roads, Let us have no unnecessary delay in putting conv!cts on the public roads
 A. D. Lightner, general agent of the Frisco System, said, "Get a cage on wheels and pull it along over the roads with your steam roller, That Is the practical way to build roads. We cer- tainly. have a world of material here, and with convicts no end of good might be done

FINAL PLANS FOR
 MILITARY DRILL
All Companies In the County Will Be Invited To Take Part On
 March 12.

With larger attendance than at any previous meeting since it's organization, the Jefferson County National Guard as- sociation held most successful session yesterday afternoon, the occasion being the regular monthly meeting. Over 20 commissioned officers were present in ad- dition to a large number of non-commis- stoned officers and men of the file.
 Final arrangements were made for the combined muster and drill which is to take place on the 12th All companies in the county will be invited to participate in this drill, and the rivalry to win first honor will be keen, most of the companies having gotten down to hard work already practicing for it. It was intended to have all the troops wear blue uniforms, but 1t was found that several of the com painies were only equipped with kalki, and both uniforms will be allowed. There will be dress parade in addition to the battalion drill. About 300 men will par ticipate and a band will be procured 70 furnish music.
 The association has only been organized for few weeks and is greatly increasing in strength It's purpose is to promote in- terest in the national guard, and from the amount of good already accomplished will doubtless result in an exceptionally strong militia in Alabama.

NEGRO SHOT BY
 POLICEMAN BURGE
Had Tried To Burelarize a House and Officer Had To Chase Him For
 Seven Blocks.

Officer Burge shot and perhaps fatally wounded Joe Williams, negro, early last night. MT. Burge states that he and Policeman Parker while scouting at Ave- nue F and Thirtieth street, were attract ed by the scream of woman who ran out of her house and said the negro had broken in, struck her and gone out the back door. Her name was Mrs. Anderson.
 MT. Burge says that he gave chase, fol- lowed the negro over an eight-foot fence and then chased him seven blocks, oyer fences and through alleys, until the negro entered Doc Satterfield's yard. When the officer tried to open the gate which had been slamfned in his face, the negro struck at his hand with rock and then ran up a hill some 50 feet, whereupon Burge fired, striking the negro in the hip. He was taken to the Hillman hospital, and while on the operating table made a confession that he and another negro had attempted to burglarze the house. He also admitted being the negro who has been shooting chickens with a shotgun in the hollows around Lakeview. The wound is believed to be fatal.
