A Great PhysioIogist
Once Said the Way To Keep the Stomach Healthy Is To
 Exercise 1t.
But He Did Not Tell How To Make 1t
 Healthy,

The muscles of the body can be de- veloped by exercise until their strength has increased manifold, and a proper amount of training each day will accom- plish this result, but it is somewhat doubtful whether you can increase the digestive powers of the stomach by eat ing indigestibe food in order to force it to work.
 Nature has furnished us all with 0 perfect set of organs and if they are not abused they will attend to the business required of them. They need no abnor- mai strength.
 There is a limit to the weight a man can lift, and there is also limit to what the stomach can do.
 The cause of dyspepsia indigestion and many affiliated diseases is that the stom- ach has been exercised too much and 1t is tired or worn out Not exercise but rest is what it needs.
 To take something into the stomach that will relieve it from its work for short time-something to digest the food will give it a rest and allow it time to regain It's strength.
 The proper aid to the digestive organs is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which cure dyspepsia, indigestion, gas on the stom- ach and bowels, heartburn, palpitation of the heart and all stomach diseases.
 Rest and invigoration is what the stom- ach gets when you use Stuarts Dyspep- sja Tablets, for one grain of the active principle in them is sufficient to digest 5000 grains of food
 The Tablets increase the flow of gas- tric juice and prevent fermentation, acid ity and sour eructions.
 Do not attempt to starve out dys- pepsia. You need all your strength.
 The common sense method is to digest the food for the stomach and give it rest.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do not make . the cure but enables the organs to throw off unhealthy conditions.
 Perfect digestion means perfect health, for under these conditions only do the different organs of the body work right and receive the building-up material found in pure blood.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is a natural remedy and is a specific for stomach troubles. The ablest physicians prescribe them.
 The Tablets are pleasant to the taste, and are composed of fruit and vegetable extracts, golden seal and pepsin.

WYLAM STILL LITTLE SHY

Ensley, January 2S.-(Special.)-The question of Wylam and Ensley consoli- dating continues to be a live topic and much interest is manifested. There is quite difference of opinion as to the advisability of the proposed annexation, but as these interests are nearly identi- cal, the welfare of each depending on the Steel corporation, a large number of the citizens of each town seem to think the consolidation would be a good thing.
 The Ensley Commercial club has in vited committee of the citizens of Wy lam to meet with them at the club rooms on Tuesday, February f. for the purpose of discussing the situation. This is done to get the views of the people before taking any action. A prominent citizen of Wylam, who is closely identified with the affairs of the city, in speaking on the question, said:
 .I doubt the advisability of the annex ation at this time and see no good that could come to either city by joining. Take the question of sewerage, for instance, which seems to be a leading argument in favor of the movement. l would sug- gest that the cost of installing a sys- tenn of sewerage in Wylam would cost more than most people seem to think; then again, we have practically no debt and if We consolidated, what assurances could Ensley give that would be bind ing in law whereby we would get the benefit of the increased taxation that would be put upon us? l am not op- posing any movement that would ad- vance the interest of this section of the great Birmingham district, but 1 simply want to know where we would be mu- tuably benefited before I commit myself to this or any similar movement

Fined For Cruelty,

Henry Bryant, 8 negro, was fined $15 and costs this morning by Judge James Brodie on a charge of cruelty to anil mals. The negro was accused of having unmercifully beaten COW with a bean pole. He was represented by Attorney B. M. Allen of Birmingham. A large number of witnesses were examined Judge Allen made a strong plea for the defendant and insisted the defendant was justified, as the COW was trespassing on his premises and that he acted under great provocation. Judge Brodie held that the defendant had taken the law in his own hands instead of appealing to the courts for damages sustained, and imposed the fine stated above, which was paid.

HOME COUCH CURE.

Go to your druggist and get one-half ounce Concentrated oil of Pine: two ounces of Glycerine; half a pint of good. pure Whisky; mix it up, glycerine and oil first, then add the whisky. Use in, doses of teaspoon to table, spoonful every four hours, shak- ing the bottle each time.
 The Concentrated Oil of Pine comes put up for medical use in half ounce bottles enclosed in tin screw top cases which protects 1t from heat and light. If you do not find it sealed you know that you are not getting the real ar tile.
 Ther are also several patent medicines put up to resemble the Concentrated Oil of Pine and called by similar names. This stuff should be avoided. The Con- centrated oil of Pine is the only truly soluble pine preparation known to science. It also makes wonderfully effective linament by putting a teaspoonful of the raw oil into a saucerful of hot lard, applying hot. This is invaluable in cases of cold in the chest or sprains and bruises.
