The Stomach Does
 Not Cause Dyspepsia
Neither Will 1t Cure 1t 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 di- gestion with gastric juices which, when the stomach, extending and compress ing the food, dissolve it and separate the nourishment from the waste matter. If. however, these gastric juices are lacking, the stomach is not capable of digesting it's food because it has not the tools with which to work success fully.
 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 stomach then presses it into the intestines where another form of digestion takes place. Then the intestines take from this mass of food all that is nourishing and give it to the blood. The waste matter is thrown from the system
 If instead of nourishment the intestnes receive impure deposits combined with a poisonous and imperfect gastric juice, 1t can be readily seen that they must turn such imperfect nuorshment into the blood. The blood then being unable to give each part of the body that which it requires, becomes impoverished and disease is spread broadcast.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets corrects 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 clements in the juice which are lacking and remove those slements which cause disturbance.
 Meat, grains, fluids, vegetables and delicacies, in fact each portion of a large meal have been placed in glass vial and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have digested them to d perfect fluid just as healthy stomach would do.
 A large complex, hearty meal holds no terrors for dyspeptic if Stuart 8 Dyspepsia Tablets are used. Abnormal eating, late dinners, rich foods cause ill effects to the stomach, but when Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets are used one may eat when and what one will without danger of dyspepsia or discomfort.
 Forty thousand physicians endorse and prescribe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and every druggist carries them in stock, price soc. Send us your name and address and we will send you at once by mail a sample package free. Address, F. A. Stuart Co, 15o Stuart Bldg, Marshall. Mich.

There has been unusual activity at the university this week in Y. M. C. A. cir cles. On last Sunday evening c. E. Mer- cer of New York city addressed the as- sembled students and members of the fac ulty in Clark hall, his subject being the story of his life. Again on Tuesday night Mir Mercer addressed the students. The subject of his second address was A Message From the Slums' MT. Mercer is a college man, a graduate of the Univer- sity of Virginia, and by his forceful man. ner and vivid phraseology has made deep impression upon the students during his stay at the university.
 On Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week there will be held at the university the first annual Alabama Bible study con- ference. This is an organization of the Bible study departments of a number of schools and colleges throughout the state. Besides delegates from each college be- longing to the organization, number of college instructors and officers are ex- pected to be present. The meeting will be in charge of Mr T. H. Beverly, local sec retary, assisted by MT w. D. Weather
 
 the Y. M C. A.; pr. Thomas Carter of Vanderbilt, and possibly others.
 President John w Abercrombie is in Mobile attending the opening of the med- ical department of the university
 The football field has been inclosed in canvas, and the contests can no longer be witnessed from the street by the inn peeunious free of charge. Since the Sat urday game, Dr. Pollard has been having secret practices. AS a result, very little is known of what formations or even the lineup that he will spring on the Bap- lists in Birmingham Saturday. One note worthy feature of this years team is the fact that there is practically not a single new face in the squad. The new material this fall was a great disappoint- ment, and Coach Pollard has been forced to rely upon the development of the 1907 scrubs to fill the gaps in the team caused by the resignation and graduation of the old varsity.
 The try-out of all candidates for the Blaokfriars, the dramatic club of the university, will be held in the T. M. C. A. rooms Tuesday evening next at 7:30 o'clock At a meeting of the club held at Professor Loseys Monday night it was decided to put on Twelfth Night" one of Shakespeare's most delightful come dies. As soon as the new members are admitted the cast will be selected and re- hearsals begun immediately in order that the performance here and the road trip may be had before the Lenten season. The junior class, academic department, has elected as officers for the current session: Thomas w. Palmer, Montevallo, president; T. w. Griffiths, Birmingham, vice president; A. c. Jackson, Notasulga secretary; Miss Mary Kate Chiles, Ems ley, poet; Miss Inez Looney, Athens, his- torian.

Cannot Move College.

H. L. Mckee, head of the Presbyter- ian orphange at Talladega, who has been doing some work in Montgomery, says that the hurch cannot take the synodical college from Talladega. as proposed, and keep faith with the peo- pie of the state. He also says that there Is a debt that must be carried wh erever moved and that there is every obligation on the part of the church to maintain the situation as it Is. An niston, he said, and other places had given up intention to get 1t away and he did not think there would be any effort to make the change.

AN IOWA FACT

AN IOWA FACT
The wicked persistency with which
the old party papers misrepresent that
passage in the history of the state of
Iowa that has to do with Prohibition,
is almost admirable A good illustra
ton appeared in the case of Milwau
kee paper that some weeks ago COM
mented upon crime committed in Iowa
by man under the influence of liquor
and described it as a failure Of Pro-
hibition." In the case just now under
view, the ST. Louis Times utters the fol-
lowing Misrepresentation
Up in Iowa that large and rich
farming community tried Prohibition.
For many years the issue was before
the people. A riot of lawlessness
without revenue existed while the
the statute was in effect. 1t was never
>~>Well enforced. One part of the popu-
lation objected to the law and the
portion that advocated it did not have
the revenues to preserve its provi-
sions. Then came a new license law.
1t fixed the figure at high mark.
1t changed the character of the place.
1t prescribed rigid rules for opening
and closing. 1t abolished the screen.
1t sought to make the liquor dealer
feel that he was not engaged in
business that best thrived in the dark.
Results have been admirable.
With the exception of the opening
sentence, there is hardly statement Of
truth in the paragraph. Iowa did, in
deed, ''try'' Prohibition The success in
the greater part of the state was be-
yond question. The whole state was
under constant bombardment from the
liquor interests of the whole country.
Some of the river cities were in perpet-
ual rebellion. With notable exceptions,
the old party officials to whom the adj
ministration of the law was committed,
proved towards. Yet the law reduced
the liquor business in the greater part
of Iowa to an almost negligible mini
mum and prosperity shone upon the
people of the state as never before. The
testimony of all this is complete and
convincing and matter of record.
Then came a dastardly surrender to
the liquor powers by the high officials
of the state and the leading politicians
of the Republican party. The mulct law
was enacted. 1t did indeed Change the
character" Of the saloon from an un-
lawful to lawful institution, in places,
though unquestionably more unlawful
saloons are doing business in Iowa to-
day, in the very presence of the mulct
law, than were ever to be found in
Prohibition years, while many of Iowa's
cities are fostering sinks of iniquity to

TOO LATE

The Western Christian ADVOCATE, one
If the religious journals that has been
somewhat backward in its coming
forward" in the Prohibition movement,
gives its readers stirring bit of litera-
ure in an editorial addressed as an open
etter to the liquor traffic.
The National Prohibitionist is in
1ebted to the Baltimore Methodist for
an adapted" text of the editorial, and
apologies for any deviation from the
original. AS quoted by the Methodist,
he Western Christian Advocate says:
It is in vain for you, at this late
day, and in the face of an aroused
and indignant public opinion, to offer
resolutions about reforming" the
saloon, eliminating the dives where
crimes are Matched, and proposing
scheme for model licenses" There
are some institutions which, after
they have grown corrupt, still have
the possibilities of reform in them;
but the saloon is not one of them.
The only good saloon is
dead one.
1t is in vain for you to seek to
stampede the American people by
multiplying press articles showing
how much revenue comes into the
public treasuries-national, state,
county, municipalEfrom the liquor
traffic, and pointing out how taxes
would be increased if these receipts
were cut off, We know all about
that. We admit that the sums you
pay in are enormous. Americans
are rather practical, too, and admit
that they love 'the almighty dollar"
and they are not Indifferent to the
argument you make. But, even on
the financial consideration alone, and
not dealing for the time in any lime
sentiments" but combining themselves
to a strictly cash basis, they declare
that they are not to be hoodwinked
any longer; that the game is not
worth the candle; that you are cost
ing the country enormously more than
you are paying back; that "the bal
ance of trade" is vastly against you.
Consequently, the American
public, always ION the make" when
viewing the matter simply from the
financial standpoint, has concluded
that it is losing heavily on the present
deal, and that it will get rich much
faster and have less taxes to pay
when your demoralizing business,
with it's comparatively Insignificant
fines for damages, shall be knocked
1t is in vain that you bring out
some eccentric clergymen whom you
have unearthed, to advocate publicly
your policies at your conventions and
in the daily newspapers. These men
will be accurately "sized UP" by the
public They are freaks and cranks,
and are as one to hundred thousand
of their brother clergymen on the
other side What they say will not
have a feathers weight, and all that
they will accomplish will be to emerge
from their obscurity into the lime
light long enough for the public to
laugh them to scorn for making such
consummate fools of themselves.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.

special Correspondence OF Inc SUIT
ROME, May %, 1905
Much of the administrative work with
which Cardinal Merry del Val has been
burdened is to be shifted to other Shout
ders. Since the accession of Plus x the
secretary of state has not only been
charged with the duty of administering
the political affairs of the holy see. but
has in addition acted as the pope's min
lister Of finance. BY holding the two of
fees Cardinal Merry del Val has. of
course, saved to the holy see a consider
the salary only for one but the work has
proved too heavy for one man.
1t has now been decided, therefore to
separate once again the political admin
istration from the financial administra-
ton. Cardinal Merry del Val will retain
the direction only of financial matters
while another cardinal will be appointed
to administrate political affairs Both
Will, of course, reside ct the Vatican.
The one great grievance that has al
ways existed against Merry del Val is his
passion for work. Till early in the morn
ing people are accustomed to see his light
burning. and know that the cardinal sec
rotary of state has not yet retired to rest
1t is very great privilege to see Merry
del Val and also to visit his room, sit
uated in the oldest and most beautiful
part of the Vatican. Visitors wait in a
large frescoed ante-room with carved
armchairs and stools of the same period.
The room in which he receives is equally
spacious. In one corner of t, next the
window overlooking the room, sits the
cardinals private secretary. who rises
when guests enter and, according to cir
cumstanceS. retires or remains to trans
cribe what the cardinal has just dictated.
