Wake Up! You
 Lazy Stomach!
Make Your Stomach ChecrfuIIy Do It's Work-stuart's Dyspepsia
 Tablets Digest Your Food and | Assist the Stomach

People who complain they are worn 10 a frazzle are nearly always dys- neptic and are recommended to use Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. The stom- ach gets lazy. food ferments and sours. gas belches up. there are symptoms of bfoatfng, the blood becomes thick and sluggish, the liver is blamed the head Is heavy. the mind blank and the filming room is a chamber of horrors.
 One of the greatest evils of our mod ern life is the quick lunch. To this evil, as much or more. than any other, may be traced the preponderance or the stomach troubles of our times. In stead of taking time to thoroughly ulasticate the food before swallowing it. the average person rushes through the meal bolting the food, deglutftion taking place while it is only partially mixed with saliva. and only half mas sticated, thus leaving the stomach to do the work the teeth should have done.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain digestive clements, single grain being capable of digesting 5000 grains of food including meats. eggs grain vege- tables. starches and mineral matters They prepare every particle of food by thorough digestion for ready absorp- ton and assimilation by the lacteal glands. which pass it into the blood. whence it is conducted to all parts of the system. rebuilding and revitaiiz- ng it.
 Every druggist has stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets In stock and sells them at N cents a box.

JACKSON MAY HAVE
 ANOTHER HOTEL
Plans on Foot to Erect 1OOO- Room HOstelry in the
 Up-TOwn District

Jackson, Miss. November 26.-(Spe- cial. .)-Once more Jackson seems to have chance of securing q great big hotel in the uptown dstrlct-some- thing that has been very badly need ed ever since the destruction of the Hotel Norvelle by fire six or eight years ago. It may be that the new hotel will be built on the site of the Norvelle, though the promoters of the enterprise would prefer the site of the old capitol at the head of Capitol street.
 w. A. Long, representative of the Union Metallic Cartridge company, and whose headquarters are at Memphis, has interested monied men of New York in the enterprise and states pos- itiyely that he is going 10 build a 1000-room up-to-date hotel in Jackson. believing the enterprise Is one that will pay handsome dividend from the very first. He has made careful investiga- tion as to the number Of trains that run into and through Jackson every day, with an approximate estimate of the number of passengers carried and who spend while in this city and de- clares the conditions from hotel point of view better than in any town in the south. We are prepared to spend s1,- 900. 900 on this venture.' says MT. Long, and Jackson will render him every pos sible assistance.
