 INTACT, VERY DRY
Residents Must Wait Four Years Before Having a
 Chance to Drink

Decatur, october 10.-(SpeciaD The two Decaturs are now dry in fact as well as in name, according to common re- port, since the victory of the prohibition sts in the local option election on Sep- tember Il. Many of the soft drink stands of the two Decaturs are closed and a number of the former soft drink pro- prietors have gone to Birmingham or oth- CT wet territory. Others are fixing to leave the city, while some will remain here and engage in other business. The Decaturs will be dry for at least four years as 1t will be that long before an- other election could be had on the liquor question.
 The closing of the soft drink stands will throw many men out of employment here and will leave a number of vacant store rooms, to either remain vacant CT else be occupied by other business. The closing of the soft drink stands, too. will greatly reduce the revenue of the two Decaturs which will have to be met in some other manner.

Useless worrying Ca form of ner- vousness) is indirectly the result through the nerves) of improper feed
 About year ago I was afflicted with nervous spells, would worry so over trivial things.
 II went to consult one of the best physicians in Memphis and he asked. among many questions, if I drink cof- fee.
 His advice was: Go to some pro- vision store and get a box of Postum. drink it in place of coffee and as you are confined to your desk to great extent try and get out in the open air as much as possible I followed his in- structions regarding the Postum.
 At that time my weight was 142 medicines to brace me up but all fail- ed. Today I weigh l65 and all of my old troubles are gone; and all the credit is due to having followed this wise physicians advice and cut off the cof- fee and using Postum in its place.
 T now consider my health perfect and that 1t Is all due to my having used Postum in place of coffee" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.

Washington, October 10.-(Special 1.-The average newspaper reader who has never seen the man and who has been keeping up with the recent controversy in the bureau of chemistry has a very unsayory opinion of George P. McCabe. the solici- tor of the agricultural department of the United States government.
 The fact is, Solicitor McCabe has a most pleasing personality and wins friends easily He is a good friend of the news paper men and nearly always has a good story reserved for them when they. call. If he has nothing in reserve he can usual ly dig up something If you can wait 2 minute"
 In the late 9O's when pr. Harvey w. Wiley was worrying Congress to secure . the passage of laws that would protect the American people from food and drug adulterers and after he had been pro claimed the Moses of the eating and drug taking people of this country, George Me- Cabe. who should rise as his threatening Nemesis, was shoveling coal into the nav of a railway locomotive in Utah.
 pr. Wiley had spent his life in labora- tories and scientific libraries. He was scientist of the keenest quality both by nature and by trainng. He knows poison and filth like a dog knows his master.
 McCabe, the son of an engineer, had picked up a little learning at small schools but had fortified himself with fine physique. He was a success as stoker, but perhaps had dreams of higher things as his locomotive toied up tedious grades and around perilous peaks in the Sierras.
 McCabe passed a civil service exami nation in 1899 that entitled him to posi- tion at s55 per month in the treasury de- partment. It was then he dawned in Washington and began the career that would lead him up against Dr. Wiley. But he met Wiley later.
 While at work at his s55 job in the treasury department he took up the study of law at the George Washington unl- versity at night. He worked hard and studied hard. But he found time to marry about this time Before he had been in the treasury department many months his salary was raised to $100 per month.
 In 1901 he was transferred to the agri-

 Most people eat most foods without discrimina tion--it matters little what Few stop to think what that food does for them. This is the first turn on the road to dyspepsia. Reckless disregard of the proper ch oiee of foods rapid eat ing and improper mastication, are the unquestioned causes Of all stomach dis orders from the slight ache to the malignant cancer.
 There is nothing more revolting than a dyspeptic stomach-a very vat for putrefaction. sending forth It's poison throughout the entire system, depres- sing the brain. befouling the breath, souring the taste, deadening the mus cles, incapacitating the liver and kid peys for their work, facilitating the heart, choking the lungs and clogging the bowels.
 All of these disagreeable and danger
 ous conditions are due to the improper digestion of food and the consequent
 assimilation of poison. What else can be eXpected2 If the food lies in the stomach if the system is constipated. fermentation is the natural outcome. It shows itself in sour watery ris- ings, belchings, heartburn and painful breathing.
 There is only one way to remove this condition If the stomach refuses to digest your food put something into it that will. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tables are nothing but digestives. They are
 not a medicine. They work when the stomach will not.
 Each tablet contains enough pepsin. diastase, golden seal and other di- gestive clements to reduce 5000 grains of ordinary food to the proRer con-
 sistency for assimilation into the blood. | Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are abso- lutely pure. There is nothing harmful | in them as shown in their indorsement | by 10000 physicians in the United States and Canada.

Fasteners are always surprised
to see the choicest places on the fruit
stands occupied by Washington and
Oregon apples. No matter that they
have seen this year after year, they
seem unable to get used to the idea
that their own immediate localities
cannot, or at least do not, supply
the local demand, and of course they
are always sure that better apples
can he grown right at home than are
produced in the far-away Pacific
coast country.
However, they keep right on pay
ing from IS to 10 cents each for the
western apples, but the shortage OF
the supply is encouraging more ex-
tensive planting in the rest of the
country and the apples from Wash
ington and Oregon may eventually
have to look for a market in Liver
pool and Hamburg, although they
still-hold their own.
