Don't Blame
Your Stomach

Can Enjoy Meals and Cure
Dyspepsia.

Don't blame your stomach or your luck
when your meals declare war your
system.
When the stomach won't do its work
il is because 1t cannot.
When foul smelling odors come from
your stomach, when the head aches and
the sourness of mouth every morning
makes you hate your breakfast, when
dreams and nightmare assail you, don't
give up the fight.
This is the appeal of nature, and it
should be heard.
Overeating late suppers, poorly
chewed food too rich pastries and under
done cooking are some of the causes of
the stomach's i'll health.
When the stomach is busy it presses
and churns all the liquid matter from food
and with its juices dissolves into liquid
form or pulp everything which comes
into it.

Juices, attacks the stomach. goes into the

stock the gastric fluid with all the ele-
ments needed They build up the blood,

One grain of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
will digest 5000 grains of food in the stom-

They contain every requisite for the

Montgomery, January 2.-(Specia1) y
With the advent of prohibition the week
has furnished little to talk about outside
of the fact that the state has gone dry
and that LIQUID refreshments will here
after be classed as contraband goods.
The notable events have been the
increase in the number of members of
club organizations, and a disposition to
extend credit in the outlying states and
commercial centers. Another feature OF
the situation is that those charged with
the duty of raising money to meet state
and municipal expense accounts have
been hustling along every conceivable
line and chasing the possible dollar
through unexpected and unusual avenues.
In addition to levying street tax OF $500
year, Montgomery proposes to take toll
on every thing that can be regarded as
a luxury An additional price will be put
on the use of the automobile, and the
man who keeps a horse and buggy for
his own entertainment will have to con-
tribute to the depleted condition of the
state treasury.
Whether or not the anti-liquor laws
are going to be enforced in the larger
commercial centers remains as much a
question as before the provisions went
into affect. Up to this time there seems
to be a pretty general observance. but
whether this is a calm before the storm
of protest, or a disposition to give up
the fight has not yet been made fully APP
parent The fact that very few saloon
men have given up their leases would
seem to indicate that they yet hope to
carry on a profitable business. whether
in defiance of the law or in evasion of it,
one cannot yet determine. In the mean
time the officers are keeping sharp lok-
out and have made it known that they
expect to do all they can to enforce the
law equally and justly upon all classes
Of offenders.

The state of Alabama looks forward to
