Man Is As Old
 As His Stomach" !"
This Persian Epigram Is the Real
 Gauge of Mans Life.


 The Persians were very sagacious people, noted among other things for their deep thinking on life and the things which make up life.
 The above epigram shows the wisdom of their thought.
 When a mans stomach is able to fur nish new material to the system as fast or faster than the natural decay of man requires, then such man lives his fullest and his best
 When through wrong living or disease a mans stomach begins to tax the other organs and takes from the blood strength which it cannot give back in nourishment taken from food then begins the death of man and he decays fast. The stomach is strong. splendidly strong, and can stand an untold amount of abuse and neglect, but when it dies. man dies.
 The stomach gives tons upon tons of good rich blood every year to the sys- tenn and draws only 6S0 pounds of nour- ishment for it's own use. If, however the food which it receives cannot be turned into blood which is capable of use by the body, then the stomach receives no help from the other organs.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the most perfect digestive qualities known to science, and at the same time the most powerful. They will mix with the poison ous juices of sick stomach and digest food in spite of this handicap
 They will stop gas making and bad breath. They tone up the nerves of the whole digestive canal, including those of the stomach.
 A single ingredient contains~ strength enough to digest 5000 times its weight in mixed food.
 They have stood the test of time and, to- day are more sought after than all their lmitators combined
 They are used and indorsed by 40O00 physicians. Every druggist sells them, price 50c. It costs nothing to demonstrate their value Send us your name and ad- dress and we will send you a trial pack lge by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co., 150 Stuart Bldg. Marshall, Mich.

SOME WEEKEND GOSSIP
 FROM THE STATE CAPITAL
By HERVEY W. LAIRD.

Montgomery, November 21.-(Special.)- J. Two very important movements along ed- acational lines have been encouraged and promoted at the meeting of the Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs in Mont gomery this week. Reference is made to the proposition long regarded worthy of notice that women be allowed a place on the county boards of education, and the other that the kindergarten work be recognized to the extent of being made part of the states educational system and appropriations provided especially therefor.
 It has been contended for a great many years that women should be given oppor- tunity in an official way to lend their services to the promotion and the better ment of the schools. There is hardly state official man of prominence out side of the capitol who does not believe that this would have 8 good effect in a general way especially on the common school.
 As an illustration of this fact the re- suits of the School Improvement associa- tion are presented. Before the ladies of the school improvement committee of the Alabama federation took up this work there was no effort at beautifying grounds or perfecting great many things that are essential to the real education of the children. This movement, largely orig- mating in Alabama, has now spread to all sections of the country and is recognized as a real department in all efforts for school advancement It is likewise eX pected that with the sentiment thus fos- tered it will be no trouble to induce the law providing for women on the county boards.
 The kindergarten work has been fos- tered for some years by coterie of ladies led in large measure by Mrs. J. IT. Phil lips of Birmingham. The department of education of the state recognizes that this is a feature of child growth that cannot be long neglected, and it is now expected that the appropriation will in future be made necessary to carry out this work as Mrs. Phillips and her associates have long desired.
 Attorney Generalship.
 During the past 10 days there has been a revival of talk with regard to the next attorney general of the state. A num- Der of Birmingham lawyers who have been in the city this week have indicated that that section of the state will be for Thomas W. Martin, the present assistant to Attorney General Garber, and will promote any effort to secure his election.
