When your stomach goes on strike and mass meetings of indignation are held all over your body, then it is that won should sit up and take notice.
 If is clearly and only question of common sense-is this thing called Dys- pepsfa. Take away, by abuse, over eat ing. excesses and high living, the things which the stomach needs ana you nave dvspepsia and indigestion; then other maladies follow these-this is common sense.
 The stomach is willing enough but you won't let it do its work. You take away the materials which are so necessary for it to use.
 Give back these materials and dys- pepsia and indigestion flee and the whole machinery of man begins slowly to move and do its work
 What the stomach needs is nerve force, fluids for its digestive glands. nourish- ment and power. All these necessities 1t takes from the blood. If dyspepsia gives nothing to the blood, the blood gives nothing to the stomach.
 This is common sense. also, pure, sim pie and unalloyed.

 Her equipment has grown from one building, with poor furniture, to an equipment worth nearly $15o, 900. The con- tract was let yesterday for another large building Io be used as a dormitory
 Miss Moore was very delightful this morning in her address to the audience and the bright faced young women who hail from all but four of the southern states. She was followed by Mayor Clements, who made a very forcible ad- dress, which showed the depth of the love of the people of Athens for Miss Moore and the college.

She was out driving and her horse fell and frightened her. She jumped from her stanhope, sustaining a terribly crushed ankle She was not otherwise injured. but will be a cripple for some time.
