As Quickly As Water
 DissoIves Sugar
About the Time It Takes for Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet to Work on the
 Food and Bring Relief
TRIAL PACKAGE SENT FREE

ltiAh
 There Is no long walt between the time you take a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet and the feeling of relief it will bring to an overloaded stomach It gets busy in jiffy and quickly sets things to rights in that tired and dis ordered stomach. It goes right at the work of digesting the food it finds lodged there and in no time at all has things on the move-the gases cease forming, the breath is sweetened, the coating on the tongue disappears and you are no longer conscious that you even have a stomach.
 That is one of the chief recommenda- tions for Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets that they don't take forever to accom- plish the purpose for which you need them. It is just as if you put an ex- fra stomach or two to work when yours needed help. You can't continu- ally overload your stomach and expect it to always smile It is going to get rebellious and sulky after awhile and refuse to go on being driven to do double work. You must rest it occa- sionally-not by starving and thereby weakening yourself physically-but by using a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet to do the work of digesting your food
 These tablets contain all the active clements of the natural stomach juices and will alone and unaided digest food just the same as the gastric juices And nothing could be more harmless than these tablets They do not effect the system In any way--do not cure any aiment except as they digest food Use them freely.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by all druggists everywhere. Price 50 cents per box. A trial package will be sent if you will write r. A. Stuart Co, 150 Stuart Bldg, Marshall. Mich.

 It is understood that the Birmingham Automobile club, which has been idle in Birmingham for some time, will hold a meeting within a sho4y time and start out to accomplish something for the au- tomobile owner and good roads advocates in this community. The club was or ganized some time ago with R. $. Nun. ger as president, and was headed later by Dr. J. F. Dedman. The membership is composed of influential and prominent men of Birmingham, some of whom have lingering desire to see erected in this immediate district some automobile club for the use of it's members. The club is also for the purpose of promoting better understanding of road conditions and upkeep and while actively engaged in work accomplished a great deal along that line.

HOW THE THREE NEWSPAPERS
 INTERVIEWED MR. WEATHERLY
................................................
Birmingham Ledger

Declaring that oscar Underwood of Bir- mingham, chairman of the ways and means committee of the present Con gress, will be the democratic nominee for President, and that he sojourned in Wash ington for several days for the purpose of gaining expressions of opinion on MT. Underwood and his nomination., James Weatherly, city commissioner of Birming- ham, and Alabama member of the ma city this morning, after attending the democratic national committee meeting in Washington.
 "Oscar Underwood is one of the biggest men in the nation today" declares MT. Weatherly, and no man has grown in public sentiment in the last quarter of century as MT. Underwood. I spent several days in Washington and had per- sonal conferences with the members of the national committee from all parts of the United States, and the opinion I gathered from such conversations was for the nomination of many states who will offer a favorite son for the nomina- ton. The favorite son states I firmly believe" said Mir Weatherly, twill be for Underwood as second choice. The trend of public sentiment is certainly man is more popular throughout the today than Birmingham's promi- nent citizen.

his heart Is running over with apprecia- tion of the interest in him which his people at home are displaying. Under wood says very little, but no man feels more or deeper, -or with a kinder heart.
 During my stay 1 sat in the gallery as Underwood spoke on the floor of the House. He made an effective speech, and I was elated when l bore witness to the fact that he is esteemed as highly by his comrades in Congress as he is in Bir- mingham.
 Reaching an Opinion
 q did not attend the Jackson day din- ner There were 200O more applications than seats But from every account no more important political affair of a sim liar nature has ever occurred
 '.Following the conclusion of business, I determined to remain in Washington a day or two for the purpose of making a quiet investigation. I was anxious to get rock bottom opinion as concerns the chance of Underwood to secure the nomination.
 AS a result, I rubbed shoulders with men from every portion of the United States, and in practically every case Un- derwood, if not the first. was the second choice.

The principal developments of the past week. speaking From the viewpoint oi those interested in automobiles and their continued favor in Birmingham, were the announcement that the Highland garage would be doubled in capacity, that the Diamond Tire company would cause to he erected a building on South Iwehueth street for it's exclusive occupancy anu the information given out relative 10 the capital highway to be located and iiheo up with the National highway.
 The last proposition, referring to the location of a good route between various capitals. gripped attention in Birmingham as 1T has been attracting indifferent at tention for the past several days. As the season begins to grow more distinct, and as the sap" starts to rise, local motor enthusiasts begin to look about for trips to be taken during the coming summer months There is said to be well de- fined movement on here to exhibit more
 than passing interest in the tour locating
 the capital highway. After it is learned
 by the local drivers there is little room
 to doubt but that various trips will be
 made between the points in the spring and
 summer.
 That the automobile truck is to supplant
 the old reliable horse and mule is clearly
 indicated in information from New York,
 where at this time the first auto motor
 truck show of the season is being held.
 Locally, there have been great many
 wholesale houses and other commercial
 enterprises to give up the slower method
 of transportation and adopt the motor
 truck.
 It is stated that at the show in progress now there are many motor trucks of ex- tremely low prices. A real four wheeled delivery wagon is among the exhibits. It has a screen body of 75o tons load capac- ity, which is listed at $500. With panel body the price goes up $50. A still cheap CT one is a three wheeled delivery vehicle listd at s395, which has load capacity of 300 pounds. One of the special attrac- tions is a golden chassis of gear. even to the bolts and nuts. It is covered with real gold leaf, and as a matter of course highly polished. That chassis is said to be one of the most striking exhibits at the show. The economy of motor trucks as compared to animals has been clearly shown.
 That technical service is one or the most important propositions connected with the upkeep and proper care of an automobile is the firm conviction of most dealers. Cut prices and technical service are held to
 be wholly incompatible. The meaning | of technical service as generally explained l by experts is keeping the car in the highest possible state of efficiency that wear and tear of constant use will per
 init. When a man buys motor car he
 should buy more than so many pounds of steel, wood and aluminum."
 | In order to attain the maximum of l technical service. no dealer, it is held by experts should be responsible for care lessness or accidents, but the owner should take his car to the store at least | nere every inonth where it was pur- 1 chased, so that the manager and dealer may inspect it, adjust it and see that | it is tuned up to it's utmost efficiency l This service all dealers and manufac- turers agree should be cheerfully ren-
