He says: fThe patient was a man who had sunered, to my knowledge. for years With dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed to sour and create gases in the stomach. He had pains like rheuma- tism in the back shoulder blades and limbs, fullness and distress after eating, poor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart ,became affected, causing palpitation and sleeplessness at night
 T gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an experiment I finally bought a 50-cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at drug store and gave them to him. AL most immediate relief was given and after he had used four boxes he was to all appearances fully cured.
 There was no more acidity or sour. watery risings, no bloating after, meals, the appetite was vigorous and he has gained between 10 and 12 pounds in weight Of solid, healthy flesh.
 "Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are advertised and sold in drug stores. yet I consider them most valuable 'ad- dition to any physician's line of remedies. as they are perfectly harmless and can be gwen to children or invalids or in any condition of the stomach with perfect safety being harmless and containing nothing but fruit and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and Golden Seal
 Without any question they are the safest, most effective cure for fndtges- ton. biliousness, constipation and all Arrangements of the stomach, however slight or severe"

Commission Government

Since announcement was made in this city by Senator Mike Screws of bill which he had drafted to be presented to the legislature covering desired commits sion government for various cities in Ala hama, the question has proved the fore most topic of conversation in political cir cles at the capitol For the most part the views of the visitors agree with those of Senator Screws though exception is taken in some instances.
 One of these instances is as to the term of office of the mayor to be elected under the commission plan, a number of the exponents of commission government openly advocating the two-year term in- stead of the four-year term. Some doubt attaches, also, to the classification, many ccntending that Mobile and Montgomery should be placed in the same class. The reported statement that Mobile Is against commission plan is denied by many of the politicians, who say that Alabamas S gulf city cannot only produce 2S0O names on a petition for an election, but more, if necessary.
 Montgomery is placed in Class B by Senator Screws one of the municipalities in the state which does not have to have an election to vote in the new system of government Mobile and Birmingham in Senator Screws measure are placed in Class A. an election being necessary be- fore the provisions of the commission bill can be approved. Senator Screws sug- gests that oS00 voters should sign their signatures to petition requesting such an election before the franchise test can be made in Class A.
 Senator Screws Is out of Montgomery at the preesnt time, hence a free discus sion of his proposed measure has not been made In his presence. It is under stood that a number of the leading citi- zens of Montgomery are anxious to meet with him for the purpose of suggesting some reViSiOns,

Removal of College

The unification, classification and cor relation plan which has been proposed by a number of the leading Methodists Of Alabama for their educational institutions is meeting with strenuous opposition in Greenboro. according to Thomas E Knight, well known lawyer of that city "The agitation has reached our ears MT. Knight says, but we are not taking it seriously.
 According to the movement which is to be featured at the present session of the Alabama conference at Troy, the proposi- ton is to so correlate the Methodist col leges as to have one leading college for men in Birmingham and leading college for girls in Montgomery. Other Method st institutions in the state, it is suggest ed should be turned into. academies and institutes as preparatory schools for the bigger colleges.
 MT. Knight states that the Southern university at Greensboro now has an en- rolment of about 150 students, the uni yersity at the present time doing the most effective work in it's history. The insti- tuition was chartered 56 years ago. and as such it Is thought that any change would not only be undesirable but dan eerous to the educational interests of the commonwealth. In it's career the uni versity has furnished one governor, sev- eral judges to the supreme court, and several bishops. a record which, in the opinion of Mir Knight is too great to be tarnished. Mir Knight is now in Troy for the purpose of objecting to the change.
