The Stomach Does
 Not Cause Dyspepsia
Neither Will It Cure It Because the Lack of Gastric Juices
 Prohibits Relief.

The stomach is a strong, powerful or gan, which is composed of muscles Of great strength. It is filled during diges- ton with gastric juices which, when the stomach, extending and compressing the food dissolve 1t and separate the nour- ishment from the waste matter. If, how ever, these gastric juices are lacking the stomach is not capable of digesting It's food because 1t has not the tools with which to work successfully.
 The gastric juices when in a perfect state do away with all foul odors, fer mentation and decay, reduce the food to a disintegrated mass and the stom- ach then presses 1t into the intestines where another form of digestion takes place. Then the intestnes take from this mass of food all that is nourishing and gives it to the blood The waste mat ter is thrown from the system.
 If instead of nourishment the intes- tines receive impure deposits combined with a poisonous and imperfect gastric juice it can be readily seen that they must turn such imperfect nourishment into the blood The blood then being unable to give each part of the body that which 1t requires, becomes impover- ished and disease is spread broadcast.
 stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets correct such
 a condition at once. If the gastric juices are lacking and imperfect these tablets 
 do their work just the same. They build
 up the dement's in the juice which are lacking and remove those clements which cause disturbance.
 Meat, grains, fluids, vegetables and del- icacies, in fact each portion of a large meal have been placed in a glass vial and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have di- gested them to perfect fluid just as a i healthy stomach would do.
 large complex hearty meal holds no 1 terrors for dyspeptic if Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets are used. Abnormal eat | ing late dinners, rich foods cause ill | effects to the stomach but when Stuart s | Dsypepsia Tablets are used one may eat when and what one will without danger | of dyspepsia or discomfort.
 Forty thousand physicians indorse and prescribe Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and | every druggist carries them In stock, | price 50 cents. Send us your name and | address and we will send you at once by

Inversion of Law.

It was a novel inversion of the un- written law. It was a complete sur prise to the state
 This victory was followed with the positive statement that when Captain Hains goes on trial his insanity will be admitted by the defense and the best expert witnesses will be called to prove the admission.
 The opening for the defense was punctuated by objections from Prose- cutting Attorney Darrin. In nearly every instance these were overruled by Judge Crane and only served to accentuate the points which Shay was trying to make before the jury.
 Darrin objected even to a brief de- scription of General Hains, the pris- oner's father, and a line about the mothers ancestry. He objected at the first mention of Molly, the defendants 4-year-old daughter. When it came to the mention of Claudia Hains, the wife of Captain Hains and Annis, Mir Darrin made every effort to keep out the scandal | talk.

NOVEL INVERSION OF
 UNVRITTEN LAW IS PLEA
Counsel for Thornton Hains Will ln- troduce Story of Misdoings of An his and Mrs. Hains In the
 Trial of the Case.
By JAMES FRENCH DARRANcE.

New York, Decembe CT '26.-(Special.)- Thornton Jenkins Hains this morning listened to graphic outline of his de- fense.
 The detailed story of all the defense hopes to prove to save Hains from the electric chair was told by Joseph A. Shay, Hains' junior lawyer.
 In the course of the argument Judge Crane made ruling which becomes the greatest victory yet scored by the de- fense.
 After almost crushing the prisoner and his friends with a declaration that he would not hear word as to the guilt or innocence of Annis and Mrs. Claudia Hains, he showed three ways in which the defense could get in every word of the scandal.
 Way No. 1 was to show that Captain Hains' mental condition was due to his belief that Annis had ruined his home and connecting Thornton Hains as the custodian of his brother, an insane man.
 Did Thornton Hains hear from any one that Annis had ruined his broth CTS wife, was way No 2.
 The third manner of getting in the scandal-the great life preserver for Thornton Hains-was the introduction of evidence that Thornton Hains be- lieved his brothers home was ruined by Annis and that the brother was insane as a result.

Cuba, December 26-(special)-T gin- ming season closed here on the 18th inst, three weeks earlier than ever before. The total number of bales ginned showed an increase of about 10 per cent as compared with last year, which was due to the in- proved roads out of here, as the crop in this immediate section was practically the same as the year before.

Cotton This Year and Next

The crop grown in 1907 was 2,O00 ,000 bales less than the one grown in the previous year, and the loss arose al most wholly in Texas and Louisiana. Nearly all of the other states held their own, and Georgia raised the biggest crop she has made since 1904. The Georgia product was 1891 ,000 bales, or a quarter of million bales more than she made in 1906.
 The Alabama outturn of 1907 was 1,126,O2S bales, a decrease of just about 10 per cent from the crop grown in 19O6 Alabama's largest crop was grown in 1904. Her product in that year was 1,451,362 bales, and it may be many year before that aggregate is exceeded in this state.
 As matters stand in the goods mar ket crop of 100000 bales would be quite enough this year in this state Any more than that would be a mis take. Any more than that would mean more purchases of western corn. and the cotton prices next fall will not sup port free purchases of corn in the northwest.

 While the tempest is on the sea! Though the rigging shriek in his terrible

DEMOCRATS READ
 FOR CONVENTION

Indianapolis, March 24.--Over 1000 of the 1871 delegates to the democratic state con- vention had arrived tonight and had been besieged by the 27 candidates for places on the state ticket. The convention prom ises to be the largest and most enthu- sastic that the party has held in Indiana since 1892. More confidence is expressed by leaders of the party than at any time since that datae Of the 27 candidates for state offices seven are seeking the guber- material nomination. More than half of the delegataes have come to the conven- ton uninstructed.
 The first session will be held tomorrow morning at Il o'clock, and will be brief. The afternoon will be devoted to the 13 district meetings of delegates, at which will be selected members of the conven- ton committees and district delegates to the national convention, 26 in number. The four delegates-at-large will be chosen by the convention Thursday morn ing In all probability the delegates will be instructed for William J. Bryan for President. John W.

ing to the uniform declarations of this | court, possess under the constitution. l am justified by what this court has here tofore declared in now saying that the wise men who framed the constitution and who caused 4he adoption of the 11th amendment. would have been startled by the suggestion that a state of the union can be prevented by an order of a sub ordinate federal court from being repre-
 scented by its attorney general in suit brought by the State in one of it's own courts and that such an order would be inconsistent with the dignity of the states as involved in their constitutional inn munity from the judicial process of the federal courts (except in the limited cases in which they may constitutionally be made parties in this courD, and would be attended by almost pernicious results.
 Justice Harlan is republican, but still he desires to maintain the repub- lie. He declines to become an imperial ist. Let no one think that the repub licans are all imperialists, for when the attorneys general of the various states met in St. Louis last fall they asked Congress to take away from the inferior federal courts jurisdiction in cases where corporations attempted by injunction to prevent the enforcement of state laws. Many. if not most, of those attorneys general were repub- lieans. The republicans in Congress have not passed the bill asked for. but the republicans in Congress never lose sight of the need of campaign fund to be gathered from trusts and mag mates in Wall street.

Subsidy On Sectional Lines

Before the subsidy bill passed the Senate it was amended so as to pro- vide that if two or more lines are estab- Iished to South American ports one of them should stop at some south Atlan- tic port, probably Savannah. At first this change in the bill was resisted, but it was finally adopted by the Sen ate.
 The members from the south in the House should not only take precious good care that the amendment offered at the eleventh hour by Senator Gal finger is retained, but they should also leave the way clear for the establish ment of line from Mobile and Pen sacola or New Orleans to South Ameri- can ports.
 A subsidy bill is bad enough at the best, and a subsidy bill devised to aid a section is an outrage. AS first tuE pcuuluB DAii NOdld ho' v helped New York only of our ports. Through Senator Bacon's efforts it has been amended so that one south Allan tic port will share in it's benefits. The gulf ports should also have a chance.
 Under the bill as it passed the Sen ate vessels of the second class, or 16- knot vessels, will receive $4 per mile for outward voyages, while 12-knot yes sels will receive $2 per mile. This ex- tension of the existing law will benefit the Pacific lines, because few ships in the Pacific service are 2O-knot ships aud only those are at present entitled to the $4 rate. The object of the bill is to maintain the naval reserve-the auxiliary navy that can be called into service in an emergency.

The Eleventh Amendment

That article known as the 11th amendment is being legislated out of the constitution, and before the cen tralists fully triumph let us reread it out of respect for the once sovereign states. It reads as follows:
 The judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity commenced or pros ecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another state or by citizens or subjects of any foreign state.
 Construe the decision in the Mime sota and North Carolina cases as one may the decision of the supreme court practically knocks the 11th amend. ment out of the constitution and out of our once boasted dual form of govern ment. Justice Harlan, who has long stood alone in the supreme court as the friend of the republic as it was originally organized, appreciated the gravity of the crisis. AS he saw the states going out in a network of judi cial legislation he wrote a lengthy opinion defending them and the 11th amendment, and The Age-Herald feels it cannot do better, perhaps, than to reproduce his closing words He said:
 Neither the words nor the policy of the t1th amendment will, under our former decision. justify any order of a federal court the necessary effect of which will be to exclude state from it's own courts. Such an order attended by such results cannot, submit, be sustained consistently with the powers which the states, accord

Is Drug Store a Misnomer?

''Is the modern drug store becoming a department store in miniature?'' said a reured physician who likes a joke. Tn fact so many articles that have no con- nection with drugs or medicine are now exposed for sale that the term drug store is almost msnomer. In the first place there is soda water and ice cream, and from what l can learn this line is often a very profitable part ot the busi- ness.
 T was in prominent drug store today and here are some of the articles I saw exposed for sale: Flowers, periodicals and books, watches and clocks, cut glass and chinaware, leather goods, razors and rocket knives, legal blanks and ledgers, ripes, tobacco and cigars, postcards and pictures"
