The NEGROES of Tennessee are
awakening to the needs of the hour
as concerns the interests of their de-
nomipational schools. Recently sew
eral Baptist and African Methodist
conventions, conferences and associ-
ations held their annual sessions in
this city, and at each one of them the
delegates seemed to be deeply con-
cerned about the education of the
youth. Roger Williams University
in Nashville, Turner Normal lnstl-
tute in Shelbyville, and Howe Insti-
tute in Memphis, are three schools
that are owned and supported by the
Negroes of Tennessee. The instltu-
tions are not endowed TO a great ex-
tent hut the members of the various
churches and the friends of educa-
tion contribute their small mites and
keep the schools going. That they
ere constantly in need goes without
SAYING. and that fact is clearly evil
denced by the activity of the people.
The citizens of Nashville are tamil

rumber of ladies here to raise funds

ARMY to Niarry


Junction City, Kan, Jan. IA

originated and developed in the local
salvation army circles. has been
brought to light. Several weeks ago,

position so that she might marry
Harry Niles, a young decorator en-
ployed by the firm of Parr Bros, Van

ent on his claim near Badger, Okla.
Mr.. Niles has been interested in the
salvation army for a long time, and
belng very good musician and singer,
Upon coming to this city early in the
TALL, ne offered his services to the
army here, and since has been an
active participant in the meetings. both
On the street and in the hall
Mr.. Niles had met Miss Campbell
several times before, but they were
nothing more than casual acquaint-
ances. until they were thrown in con-
tact with each other in the local army
work. The acquaintance soon became
friendship and the friendship ripened
INTO love, and the contamination of
their little romance was reached when
Miss Campbell, knowing that as an
officer of the Salvation army, she
could not marry a man who was not
also an officer, resigned her position
and left the work to which she has
been devoted since childhood, in order
that she might be free to marry as her

here in a short time. They will be
married as soon as Mr.. Niles business

Do You Enjoy Your Meals?
One of the Most Important Questions
to Consider in the Search for
Happiness and Health.

The burning question, to you, is, "Are
you getting out of life all the pleasure
and the health you are entitled to?'
If not, why not?
No matter whether every organ and
member of your body is in a sound
state of health and strength, if your
stomach is in any way disordered, you
are not going to be yourself You
nervous or sullen individual, whose ac-
lions will reflect your condition inside
and people will naturally avoid you.
The world wants to smile and be
cheerful, and unless you are cheerful
and smile, at least, occasionally, you
will have few friends, fewer oppor-
tunities, no success, and you will go
down in defeat-defeated by dyspepsia
and a bad stomach.
A good and thorough digestion has
a quick, wonderful reaction upon the
brain. You must have noticed it many
times, for the brain and stomach are
as Intimately connected as a needle and
it's thread, one can hardly be used to
advantage without the other. If your
stomach is slow and lazy in digesting
your food, it will produce at once a
slow, lazy and cloudy influence upon
your brain. Mark it, If your stomach
has absolutely quit work and fermen-
tation is poisoning your vitals as a re-
suit, surely your brain is going to be
sluggish and CORRESPONDENCE depressed
No one need tell you that.
But why continue to suffer all the
miSerieS and tOrmentS that a disorder
ed stomach brings you?
If your stomach can not digest your
food what will? Where's the relief?
Where's the cure?
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
relief and the cure. Why? Because
as all stomach troubles arise from in
digestion and because one ingredient
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is able

food. doesn't it stand to reason that
these little Dyspepsia Tablets are go
ing to digest ALL the food and what
ever food you put into your stomach?
Science nowadays can digest food
without having to use the stomach for
it. And Stuart's DYSPEPSIA Tablets are
the result of this scientific discovery.
They digest and digest thoroughly and
well, any thing and everything you eat
So. if your stomach refuses to work
or can't work. and you suffer from
quotations bloat, brash, fermentation,
bifiousness, sour stomach, heartburn,
irritation, Indigestion, or dyspepsia Of
whatever form, just take one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and see
to prove it. Then you can eat all you

Abe

Finds the Stage Villain Easier Than
Abe AtteIl.
New York, Jan. 17.-Owen Moran has
returned to New York, and, like all
successful fighters, is rapidly becom-
ing an actor. He has not tackled the
"drammer" yet, but contents himself
with boxing. You know the kind The
villain Chats ALT Wicks)-.is foiIed.
The hero (Owen Moran) steps in and
says:
Hold. wretch. finland that gu-r-r-l
or take the consequences!' or words
to that effect.
The villain (Wicks) growls:
What consequences?
you'll have me to fight!,'
"All right, I'll fight you, them"
Wicks appear and fight 1t out Marquis
of Queensberry style, four rounds or
So.
Oh. no, Mr.. Moran won't have any
trouble with the lines. He's no Kid
Broad for eloquence, but he can sling
the good old Anglo-Saxon quite well
enough for stage purposes.
Moran agrees with the reports from
San Francisco that he was entitled to
the decision. He doesn't say this
boastful1y. Just remarks that, in his
opinion, Jeffries is a great, big, good
natured kid, who doesn't like to hurt
anybody's feelings by giving a close
fight to the fellow with a shade, and
that Jeff was a little bit mistaken
when he let Atte1l off easy and gave
him a draw.

Schaefer in Four Days.
New York, Jan. 17-Willie
Hopes challenges for both the 1871
and 1872 worlds championship balk-
line emblems have created a little ex-
element in the billiard world. Com
ing together at a time when two big
matches are on the tapis, the condi-
tons for Hoppe, should both chal-
lenges be accepted. will be such a
handicap that any other player might
be ridiculed for his efforts.
Sutton plays Morningstar, the cha1-
lenger for the 1872 trophy, in New
York January 81, while Schaefer,
holder of the 1871 emblem, meets Cut
Ter in Philadelphia January %.
Hopes challenges are. of course, eff
fective the day following each game
Under the conditions governing the
trophies the challenger has 10 days in
which to accept and so days in which
to play or forfeit. It's almost GER
tain both challenges will be accepted,
for in billiards few die and seldom
resign.
In such case Hoppe may be called
upon to play two matches at very dis
tinct kinds Of billiards within a week
"a task which might feaze even the
old masters. If Sutton and Schaefer
should both win in the coming games
it looks as though Willie to, win would
be entitled to more honor than ever

tory of billiards. And yet there are
some who really believe he was dodg-

blanks for the Cleveland show, to be
held February IT to "a. were sent out
last week by Manager George Collis-
ter. The plans provide for a larger
exhibit than heretofore. as the large
banquet hall at the north end of Cen

for show purposes, has been secured
and will give 5000 more feet of floor
space. This will be used largely for
motorcycles, bicycles and accessories.
The balconies of the big hall will be
used exclusively for accessories, while
the main floor and wings will be used
for complete automobiles. Only the
limitation of space will prevent all the
cars represented in Cleveland from be-
ing displayed, for with daily improve
ment in the outlook for business every
dealer is anxious to get into the show
The show promises to eclipse last
