 Knife In His Hand.

Anniston, January 12.-(Special)- A bold attempt was made last night by a negro to rob Joseph Levy. West Tenth street second hand shoe dealer, in his place of business, and the negro would probably have succeeded had not MT. Levy fought with vigor
 MT. Levy rooms in the rear of his store where he had a gas light, but the front was dark. The negro knocked on the front door and MT. Levy re- sponded to the knock. On reaching the door he saw standing before him a bareheaded negro. who asked Mr. Levy if he had caps for sale. MT Levy told him he had not, but that he would sell him the cap on his own head for 10 cents and would buy a new one for himself. The negro said he didn't have a dime, but would see if he could borrow one from some one on the street. This he evidently did for the purpose of scanning the street to see if there was any per son out for. on stepping outside tho building and looking around q moment without seeing anyone, he returned, and with a drawn knife in one hand he seized MT. Levy by the throat and demanded his money.
 MT. Levy asked the negro to go back

Laughter, Digestion
 And Health

An eminent Russian physician has stat ed his opinion that laughter is one of the best means known to science for the cor rection of Dyspepsia, stomach and nerv- ous diseases.
 Laughter, however in a dyspeptic is like the memory of running brooks and shady slens to the furnishing and dying man lost in the desert.
 If one could but know all the causes, reasons and origins of Dyspepsia, one would not wonder at a helf-heartedness of a dyspeptic's gayety.
 There is a ceaseess call for appetite, food and enjoyment to dyspeptic, coupled with morose, moody belief and knowledge that such call is mockery and if indulged in will bring discomfort, pain and regret.
 Perhaps if it were understood that the digestive system, including mouth. throat and alimentary canal, embracing as 1t does the stomach, is composed of mem braneous tissue filled with millions of small nerves, which control added mill lions of little mouths or suckers. Per- haps if this were known men could more comprehensibly understand that to disar- range such a system would mean indeed intense physical pain.
 Now suppose that this alimentary ca nal Is a mass of worn-out, debilitated
  ciating physical pain and discomfort, and suppose such canal filled with the fumes and foul odors and decayed food from the last meal, and one has a slight idea as to the lack of laughter in a dyspeptic. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets composed of the highest digestive ingredients-one grain of single ingredient being capable of digesting 5000 grains of food-relieves the alimentary canal of it's onerous duties, assists it along its entire length (S0 feeD to perform its routine, imparts strength and buoyancy to the stomach and gives back to the blood strong, healthy nour- ishment.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are natural adjuncts to digestion. They do not false ly stimulate an already weakened ma chine, but build up where building is needed and remove where removal is necessary.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have nothing to conceal. Here is what they are made of: Hydrastis golden seal, lactose and asepic pepsin. Forty thousand physi- cians in America and Canada use and prescribe them. They should be used af- ter every hearty meal whether one is a dyspeptio or not

WHY SYRUP
 PEPSIN IS FREE

For more years probably than the age of the person reading this, pr. w. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, H.. has practiced medicine. and the one thing that forced itself on his mind was the urgent need of the human body for something that would scien tifically regulate the digestive organs the stomach, liver and bowels.
 These years of study developed Dr. Caldwel1's Syrup Pepsin, now recoE- nized as the national safeguard of health in thousands of good Ameri- can homes. For twenty years it has been gaining friends, for it is today. as it always has been: the best laxative tonic for women, children and old folk S for these especially need gentle. safe laxative tonic that Is sure in results and does not gripe.
 It is because the doctor mas watched it's good work for all these years and believes in the merit of his rem edy that he offers to send a free trial bottle at his own expense to anyone who writes him. You have simply to send your name and ad- dress. On the strength of what these free trial bottles have done--and thou sands have been given away-Dr Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin is today more wide ly used than any other American remedy for constipation liver trou- ble, flatuency, biliousness indigestion sour stomach, dyspepsia, heartburn and similar disorders of the stomach liver and bowels. It can be obtained of any druggist at 50 cents and S1 a bottle and a bottle will do you hundred times the amount of good it costs you.
 People like Mrs. M L. Graves. S32 Oakwood ave, Toledo, O.. G. B. House ton, Bessimer, Ala, William Redd Goodman, Miss, once sent for a free test bottle and now have their en- tire fo.ss'ly using 1t as needed
