VIII Consider Organization of Field
 Trials Club.

Montgomery, March 18.-(Special "A meeting of men who are interested in field trials and field sports will be held at the rooms of the Commercial club in Mont gomery at 12 o'clock Saturday, March 20 This meeting has been called by State Game and Fish Commissioner John H. Wallace, Jr., J. K Jackson, Montgom- cry; Judge Zell Gaston. Birmingham; T. T. Ashford, Birmingham, and a number of other equally prominent sportsmen.
 It Is proposed to organize a Southern Field Trial club, which will be an asso- citation national in it's scope with head quarters at Montgomery. Superb grounds are to be had over which to hold the trials, and an effort will be made to ar range the dates on which the trials will be held so as to bridge over between the field trials in Georgia and those had at Grand Junction, Tenn. An invitation has been extended to all men of good repute to be present and to Identify themselves with the club.
 [. It is believed by many that in the heart of Dixie is to be found the highest de- gree of honor and integrity among sports- men, and that field trial club, conduct ed upon a high plain where "jockeyins" is unqualifedly eliminated. and where the award goes to the best dog, regardless of the owner or handler, is thing most earnestly desired by the field trial pa- irons of the nation.

LOSES BOTH LEGS.
Len Boon of SyIacauga Is Seriously
 Injured at TalIadega.

Talladega, March Special )-About o'clock this morning Sheriff Middle ton was aroused by the continued ringing of his phone. It was summons from his jailer to hurry to the jail at once. Crossing the tracks of the Louisville and Nashville line immediately in front of the jail he found the body of white man lying beside the rail with both legs sev- cred below the knee
 Investigation developed that his name was Len Boon of Sylacauga, who, to- gether with Deputy Sheriff Cornett and others, had been summoned as witnesses in a murder case. This having been dis posed of. 1t was agreed to catch the first train home. MT.

His groans attracted the attention of the jailer about o'clock this morning. He was at once removed to the home of Dr. E. B. Wren, he being a relative of Mrs. Wren, and prompt surgical attention was given.

OFFICER SHOT BY
 A STRANGE NEGRO

Tuscaloosa, March 18.-(Special. J. Esquire E. L. Mckinley of Duncanville, a station few miles south of here on to town this morning for treatment for a wound received by a pistol fired by a negro. It seems that early in the morning a negro sh owed up in Dun canville whose actions were considered quite suspicious. Esquire Mckinley, wno is the beat justice Of the peace, arrested the negro and he showed fight. Mckinley had a pistol with him and drew this, but for some reason 1t would not work and the negro got out his about the same time and fired upon the officer. He then made good his escape. The news of the shooting was communicated at once by telephone to the sheriff's office here and several deputies and some dogs were at once dispatch ed to the scene. The negro had been tracked for several miles and it was thought at the last reports that there would be no trouble in locating the negro. Mckinley is not seriously wounded, it is thought, and is now do- ing very well. The name of the negro was not known, 1t being stated that he was a stranger in the community.
 Last night at the Alabama Great Southern depot a negro shot and slight ly wounded Officer Cantey of the city police force. The negro was discovered bea ting ride on a train and was made to get off by the officer. When an at tempt was made to arrest him, how ever, he showed fight and drew his gun and shot before he could be captured. He escaped. It Is thought by the of ficers that he is probably the same ne- gro who went on to Duncanville and got into the trouble with Justice Nc Kinley.

Watching a Stomach
 Digest Food
Was the Means Whereby Science Made
 Possible the Cure of Dyspepsia.

The Abbe Spallanzani was the first scientist to study systematically the oh emical powers of the gastric juice, but 1t was by the careful and convinc- ing experiments of Beaumont that the foundation of our exact knowledge of Its composition and action was laid.
 Beaumont was an army surgeon, To- cated at an obscure military post in Michigan, while 1t was yet terri tory, and was called upon to treat a gun shot wound of the stomach in a Canadian voyageur-Alexis St. Martin. When the wound healed permanent opening was left by means of which food could be placed in the stomach and gastric juice taken from 1t.
 Beaumont made scientific experiments with his crude means and wrote book. which today is recognized among the classics of physiology.
 Beaumont blazed the way for other scientists so that today medicine knows what the stomach does with food and what food does to the stomach.
 Science also knows what the gastric juices are and how to make them best for the system.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, thanks to the poor army surgeon and Alexis St. Martin, give man means of digestinp 2 food, replenishing the exhausted juices. soothing the nerves and correcting dys peptic conditions of the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are nat ural fruit and vegetable essences re- duced in concentrated form and by tre mendous power compressed into a tab let These wonderful little digestors are known all ovat America and Can ada. Full meals have been digested bv them in glass tubes and they are sold by every druggist.
