You can enjoy It. You can digest It.

When q system Is run down and de-
pleted it needs building up. Ashes won't
rekindle a fire and wrong digestive fluids
VIII not take proper juices from food. no
matter how good the food is.
Is this common sense? Men spend years
and even life experimenting on the hu-
man system, what It lacks in disease
and what IL needs in perfection. This
knowledge is known to every physician
or should be. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are compressed natural vegetable and
fruit essences which when mixed with
the saliva Of the mouth go into the
stomach capable Of digesting full meal
and they digest It to the uttermost shred.
Then such a meal does a man good and

stomach troubles. Forty thousand ply

The Southern Senators who have been
hlibustering IN executive session to pre-
vent action on the nomination OF Dr..
Crum. a negro. for the Office Of collector
OF customs at Charleston, S. C.. were VIC
toricus yesterday.
Behind closed doors Senator Frye en-
deavored to have the Democrats FIX a
time for voting on the nomination. Mr.
Frye asked Senator culberson. the Dem
ocratie floor leader. bowling he intended
to keep UP the opposition, and Mr.. Cul-
berson responded that there we're a good
many Senators who desired to speak,
and he was afraid that a vote could not
be reached before March /
Then Mr.. Frye said that he would with
draw the nomination from consideration.
The defeat Of the Crann nomination is,
in the main. q personal victory for Sena-
tor Tillman. When Dr.. Crum was norni-
mated for the collectorship four years
ago. he was fought vigorously BY Senator
TillnIan and other Southern Senator's.
Roosevelt His BacIer.
They fought him on the ground that he

was obnoxious. For two years the Crum
nomination was held up. but Roosevelt
kept Crum on the rolls. appointing him
during the recesses. Ultimately, how

Crum's term as collector IS about 20 ex-

the problem OF appointing a successor. It
Is claimed that Democrats are anxious
70 defeat the nomination IN the hope OF
putting Taft IN an embarrassing position
IN attempting to carry out his policy OF
winning some OF the Southern States for
the G. Q. p
According 20 the reasoning Of those
who were interested IN this plan. Mr.
Taft would offend President Roosevelt II
he did not renominate Crum. and would
offend thousands OF his white admirers
in the South II he did.
II WAS contended. furthermore. that If
Mr. Taft nominated a white man for the
Charleston celieCtOrship he would not
only displease Mr.. Roosevelt, but would
