Slow Digestion
A Frequent Form of Stomach Trouble
Readily Cured by Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.

This complaint constitutes one of the
most common forms of dyspepsia. 1t is
the bane of those who ignore natural
laws, and forget that the healthy action
of the stomach is dependent on the con-
dition of both body and mind Those
whose pursuits oblige them to pass much
of their time within doors; men of letters,
and of business, whose minds are seldom
perfectly relaxed; administrators, specu-
iators, inanciers, and the various profess
sional men, fall ready victims to it.
Slow digestion occurs in persons of all
temperaments and habits, but oftenest In
those of irritable, or nervous disposition,
and anxious aspect of countenance who
are popularity characterized as "dyspeptic
looking" Eating too rapidly Is COM
mon, exciting cause OF the disorder. as is
also imperfect mastication of food from
loss of teeth.
There is also a deficiency of. gastric
Juices, and an insuffciency of the motor
and muscular, or churning movements of
the stomach walls, and the food remains
entirely too long in this organ, instead
of being passed down into the small in
testine at the proper time
Even a dinner not exceeding the ordi-
nary limits Is followed at varying inter-
walls. but usually within an hour, by
feeling of weight and oppression In the
stomach. For several hours afterward
-
snd should even light supper be taken,
horrible nightmare and trouble dreams
are certain to result.
IT should be quite well, IL it were not
necessary to eat" Is a common statement
made by sufferers from this form of stom-
ach complaint. Many of them actually
dread the approach of meal time. know
ing what disagreeable symptoms they are
sure to experience after eating; and would
doubtless discontinue the ingestion of
food into their stomachs altogether II it
were possible to live without eating.
There is really no necessity whatever
for depriving ones self of the pleasures
of the table, or to starve the rest Of the
system because the stomach is dereict
in it's duty, and does not digest the food
as quickly or as thoroughly as it should.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets compel the
stomach to perform it's functions properly
and assist 1t very materially in the dis
charge of its duties, single grain of
the principal digestive ingredient of these
tablets being sufficient to digest 5000
grains of food. They not only digest the
food. however, but also tone up and
strengthen the peptic glands, and the mo-
for functions, so that the food will not
remain in the stomach longer than neces-
sary. Every case of slow digestion and
all other forms of dyspepsia are readily
durable by the use Of these tablets, which
make ND the gastric deficiency, and sup
NV the disordered stomach with exactly
the same digestive juices that are found
In healthy, vigorous stomach.

AGRICULTURAL
CONTEST WILL
BE INTERESTING

Montgomery, November 4.-(Special)-
Modern sons of Jacob in search of corn
will, in Alabama, meet that same con-
dition of plenty that so pleased the bad
boy brothers of Joseph in the land of
Egypt many centuries ago. The grain is
not stored in kingly bins, however, but
in the cribs and outhouses of the farm
ers, who have made it in large quantity
after many modern and progressive
methods of cultivation and with a desire
to capture some of the several rich
prizes that have been hung up by the
state and other interests to those who
make the earth do more than well.
The office of the commissioner of agri-
culture is filled with ears, big and full
grown and round and plump, all indi-
eating the highest yield and the most
productive construction. Some of it was
raised by the Williamson method of fore
ing and feeding, some by the demonstra-
ton plans of the department at Wash
ington and yet other after rules and
regulations that the raisers themselves
have evolved in their years of experience
The only general similarity is the use
of forcing or feeding with fertilizers,
this seeming to have been used by prac-
tically the entire list.
The list of prizes which will be dis
tributed soon includes offers for the best
three acres of corn, of oats, of hay. of
potatoes and sugar cane. The corn prizes
are $500, s125 and 800 respectively; oats,
$780, $50 and s25; sweet potatoes, SIS, $50
and s25; cane, 800. SIS and $50. The boy
making the best showing on one acre
of corn will get $125, the second best
800 and the third $50 For the best 10
acre yield of not less than three varieties
of crops the first prize will be $780, Sec
ond $75 and third $50. The total amount
thus to be given by the state iss $685.
1t is not only bringing out the high
pressure yields, but has had a tendency
to make the farmers try for the best
in all their crops.
w. H. Seymour, state statistician, is
ALSO offering a lot of prizes for yields
under the Williamson method and his
reports show that wonderful records have
been made. He will make up the tables
and announce the results in few days
now most of the contestants being In.
Commissioner Wilkinson will be delayed
in making up the list of prize winners
by the syrup makers, this being In the
nature of case late. He may also have
to cut out oats While the growth per
acre was unusually good the heavy
storms just at harvest time made 1t I'M
possible with much of the best crop on
the ground to select adequate exhibits

WOOD PULP INDUSTRY

Washington, July 7.-That the
growth OF the pulp wood industry III
the United States has been remark
able and that the use of pulp wooa
promises to become even larger, Is
brought out by a review Of the pulp
wood consumption during 1908, just
issued by the Census Bureau. While
there was a temporary check in the
production Of pulp wood in the
United States during 1908, due to
depressed business conditions, there
was a greater decrease in the United
States Of imported pulp wood than
In the domestic wood, 20 -
Sixtyfour per. cent. Of all the
wood used in pulp Is spruce, with
hemlock, poplar pine, balsam and
cottonwood making up the balance
Of the production. With the increased
price Of spruce, hemlock Is being re-
sorted to largely by the manufacture
ers as the chief substitute.
ALI pulp wood imported into the
United States, which has increased
in quantity SO per cent. since 1900,
comes from Canada duty free. Nearly
81 per cent. fof tho wood pulp i'm
ported also comes from Canada, the
balance coming mainly from Germa-
n.y. Sweden and Norway, The United
Estates exported In 1908 only 1923
tons Of wood pulp, or about one-fifth
! Of the amount imported.

RELATING TO LAWNS
Their Cultivation Mean a New Day
for the beauty OF the New
England Village.
{ From lions Herald.)

The first experience Of the idealist
with lawn was in Vermont, when
that sturdy state first began to adopt
so effeminate decoration. For the
greater part Of the year the lawn
was not lawn, but a miniature snow
field, with the snow Whisking wild
ly before the pursuing winds. But
when the April showers released its
numb roots, and the spring sun
warmed it with it's genial rays, IL
| 5prang the greener and gladder for
| it's long imprisonment. The cultiva-
| ton Of lawns meant a new day for
the beauty Of the New England vii
| lage, with it's long springy carpet Of
velvet, like the English lawn, but
rough and hardy, as became it's en-
vironment. Nevertheless, it bur
geOncd in it's own vivid intensity all
the summer long until the night that
Jack Frost snarled over it, and the
glad, green blades paled and shr1v-
eled, and grew more wan and
wretched, I'LL the pittful clouds drop
ped white coverlet softly over it's
wasted glories.
In later years the fortunate ideal
list became the temporary posscssor
Of lawn in california. It was
sown at just about the season that
the Vermont lawn was taking on its
winter garb. But October, Novem
Der, December, meant, not Increasing
chill and frost, but warmth and life
under golden skies. The daring blue
grass and clover sprang and grew
like Jonah's gourd. The lawn-love1
read January in his calendar, and
looked out upon his lawn and knew
that winter, that old assertive, tyran
nous face, had become lie. January
decpened to what should have beer
midwifery still the grass grew. Ono
day the idealist read a letter from
Vermont. 1t described the ravage;
, of great blizzard, with bowling
winds and blockading SHOWS. He waI
seized with wicked glee. He hasten
ed out Of doors, grasped the 1awI
mower, and, in the warm glow Of The
afternoon sun, sped back and fortt
: with it across his pristine lawn In ,
revclry of intoxication, For him tht
blizzard had become mere fiction.
