ADMISSION WANTS
IMPROVEMENTS
Noble Street May Be Closed-Council
Proposes Boulevard to
Oxford.

Admission, November 5.-(Special.)-As
result of the meeting of the Admission
chamber of commerce this morning it is
very probable that Tenth street will be
closed at an early date; that public i'm
provement bonds will be issued for the
construction of an S0-foot boulevard, with
80 feet of macadamzed track in the CEN
ter to Oxford from point near the net
and Irvine mills west of the Southern rail-
way: Furthermore that the hills ON the
Eulation road, which cause an annual
loss of about $4,000 in cotton. will be
cut down.
After some discussion regarding the re-
quest of the Western Steel Car and Foun-
dry company that Tenth street be closed
between the Southern railway right of
way on the east and Glen Addie avenue
on the west, the following committee was
appointed to consult the property owners
interested and see if proposition toward
this end could be made: e. l.. Turner,
w. H. Weatherly. L. H. Kaplan, j. C.
Sproull, A. w. Bell.
The following resolution was adopted:
merce, That we heartily approve of the
proposition for the city of Admission to is
sue $1,000 of public improvement bonds
for the purpose of making improvements
of the roads and streets known as the
oxford and Cemetery roads. The presi-
dent appointed the following committee
on this matter: II. F. Williamson, Ross
Blackmon, John b. Knox.
Several business men of the city spoke
in favor of the closing of Tenth street

of the city council with reference to the
bond issue. Mayor Kilby was present and

to the project, which will mean a saving
of several hundred dollars to the city
every year through the promotion of
country trade.

What An Eminent Medical Man Says
Dyspepsia Really Is. Then
Gain Hope.

This affection called Dyspepsia is the
ri eatest torment of civilized life and is
to be considered rather as an unnatural
functional difficulty than as structural
disease"
The same authority aas classified dys-
pepsia thus: The first form due to rela
lions with other organs which are in
morbid and unhealthy state, which is
characterized as a reflex action. OF sucn
a type is the nausea and vomiting caused
by irritation of brain, lungs liver or
uterus.
The second form is caused by scanty
supply of gastric juice, made evident by
slowness of digestion, long retention of
food in the stomach, distress for
long time after meals. accompanied by
weghty and uneasy feelings at pit Of
stomach, decomposition of food In ali
mentary canal causing fetid and foul
gases and tie appearance of undigested
food in the excavations from bowels.
The third and last form of dyspepsia
according to this renowned medical light
is that which accompanies some abnormal
quality of the gastric Juice combined
with a partial paralysis of the stomach $
muscles so that this organ cannot suf-
ficiently mix the food with the digestive
fluids

These tablets contain digestive agents
which act with or without the aid of the
stomach. One grain of nm ingredient used
