PORCH WOULD BAR
 FOREIGN VESSELS.
Says That American Ships Should Carry Ameri-
 can Commerce

Washington, February 16.-American ingenuity and efforts should be concen- trated to prevent the commerce of the United States from being carried under the Japanese flag through the Panama canal, in the opinion of James W. Porch, who addressed the Pan-American com mercial conference today on behalf of the Progressive Union, the Board of Trade, and the Merchants and Manufacturers association of New Orleans.
 Mir Porch referred to the project of the Japanese to build vessels to transport goods directly from the Atlantic coast of the United States via the Panama canal to the orient and likewise from the Pa cific coast of this country to Europe and South America. He declared the charge that the Americans could not build steam ships as cheaply as foreign countries was not true
 Let Old Glory carry rne commerce of the United States to South America said MT. Porch. and we will broaden the Monroe dictrine-America for Amer icans"
 MT Porch urged the delegates not to send peddlers into South America to rep resent them, but able merchants and commercial missionaries.
 A sensation was developed early in the day by the remarks ur Francis J. Lowe of New York, who read an affidavit charging that the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor was giving out misleading statistics on the export trade of the United States. O. P. Austin, chief of the bureau of statis- tics, had just finished giving statistics on the trade of the United States with Latin American countries. when MT. Love- for merly a confidential clerk in the bureau, who charged that while employed in the bureau instructions had been issued in regard to the exports of manufacture which would tend to mislead the manu1 lecturers of the United States regards exports of actual manufacture.
 The affidavit further averred that proof could be shown by referring to schedule F of the bureau fin which raw materials are described as wholly, or part manu- ia actured. and which makes tremendous difference in the declared exports of manufactures wholly D
 Mir. Austin denied the charges in s statement issued later declaring that the manufacturers were properly classified and that schedule E included only "manu- factures ready for consumption

POPE PLUS < NOT
 SERIOUSLY |[L

Rome. February 16.-Pope Plus x, who Is experiencing an attack of influenza, had comparatively quiet night, his night from 100 to 99
 Dr. Guieseppe Petacci, private physi- clan to his holiness, visited the sick chamber this morning and remained a long time. He considers the illness is taking its normal course
 Dr. Ettore Marchia Fava, consulting physician to the Pope, has not been called and this fact seems to indicate the case is not serious The patient, however, is suffering from inconvenience because of congestion of the bronchial tubes. with some difficulty in breathing and increased respiration.
 The fever having abated, Dr. Petacci permitted his holiness to rise from his bed this afternoon, but soon afterward advised him to return to it in order to avoid fatigue and the possibility of talk ing more cold, which might result In a relapse.
 The Pope had a slight rise in tempera- ture this evening, but Dr.. Petacci found his patient in satisfactory condition and expects that within few more days of care and rest his health will be completely restored. He advises. how ever, that all audiences be suspended until next week.
 Influenza is quite prevalent here. Car dinal Rampolla is suffering from a se- rious attack and although his tempera- ture has not risen above 1o0 the phy- sique of the cardinal Is not such as to offer much resistance in consequence of his overworked and aesthetic life.
 Cardinal Rinaldini Is also confined to his apartments from the disease.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Effec-
 tual Cure For It

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable The usual symptoms are full or Dloat- ing sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery rfsings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing, headaches, ickle appetite, ner- vousness and a general played-out, lan- guid feeling.
 There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the interior of the stomac could be seen it would show a slimy, inf1ammed condition.
 The cure for this common and obstl- nate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before 1t has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do. and when nor nal digestion Is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
 According to Dr. Harlanson, the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being patent medicine, can be used
 Wll1l Pcllctt oalCty anu dSodi ohSc tiAot healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals
 The plan of dieting is simply another name for starvation. and the use of pre- pared foods and new-fangled breakfast foods simply makes matters worse as any dyspeptic who has tried them knows As Dr. Bennett says. the only reason I can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not universally used by every body who is troubled in any way with poor indigestion Is becuase many people seem to think that because a medicine is advertised or is sold in drug stores oi is protected by trade mark 1t must be humbug whereas as matter of truth any druggist who Is observant knows that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have cured more people of catarrh of the stom. ach. indigestion, heartburn, heart trouble nervous prostration and run down condi. ton generally than all the patent medi cines and doctors prescriptions for stom ach trouble combined. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the safes' preparation as well as the simplest ana most convenient remedy for any form o indigestion, catarrh of the stomach, bill iousness, sourf stomach, heartburn anc bloating after meals.

 be begun immediately after the passage of the Parks bill tomorrow. As a mat ter of fact. the temperance committee of the house had meeting scheduled for tonight. but Chairman Smith, for a reason not stated, called the arrangements off But 1t Is expected that the committee will get actively to work the first of next week.
 The prohibitionists base their hope of retaining prohibition on the difficulty which the local optionists will experience in agreeing on a single proposition. The plan of the local optionists. however is to frame up a bill on which the majority can agree, even if in the process of draw ing up the bill the consumption of much time becomes necessary The local optionists are extremely op- timistic in this regard. The attitude of the prohibitionists is best explained in the statement of Senator Norman, "We are hopeful"

He protested against the killing of the goose which lays the golden eggs, explained that the new bill would practically bankrupt bus mess firms, prevent the coming to Ala bama of foreign capital and cause the withdrawal of that which is already here. After his opening remarks he de- clared that if the legislature passes d revenue bill no more drastic than that passed by the Conner administration he would guarantee that the banks of the state would cooperate in loaning the state enough money, If 1t be a million dollars, to operate on at a rate of in terest as low as per cent
 He insisted, furthermore. that natural increase in values would cover the pres D ent deficit in four years. He declared that as much as S4,00O, 900 was awaiting the action of the legislature to determine whether or not to invest in Alabama.

PLUNKET WANTS TO
 FORTIFY THE CANAL

New York, February 1s.-''I hope the canal will be forti1ed,' said Sir Horace Plunket of the Agricultural league when he returned here today after a 2s-days' tour of the West Indies and the isthmus of Panama. He explained that If universal peace agreement were feasible 1t would be unnecessary to for tify the canal, but this seems imprac- ticable at present.
 "The entire policy of the American na- ton has been so consistently pacific" said he, that believe the world at large real izes that should America fortify the canal ner purpose in so doing would be purely defensive and not hostile"
 Sir Horace expressed favor of the prin- ciple of Canadian reciprocity, but being unfamiliar with the details of the present agitation he would express no extended opinion |.
