Many people have poor teeth. weak aums, sore teeth and other bothersome troubles that pre- vent a vigorous mas tication of food. And instead of eat :. ing soft, mushy food that pals on the appetite they go in for those savory dishes, the very odor of which starts the saliva and makes the stomach fair ly revel with anticipation
 This is but natural condition. Any thing else borders upon the indLffer- once which fosters indigestion and chronic dyspesia
 It may be safely said that il should not be a question of diet or kind or food. or teeth or even any of the re- fiexcs which are supposed to have theIr influence in deranging the stomach. l. is simply matter of supplying the stomach and digestive organs with those known assistants such as pepsin and hydroehloric acid, both of which have a direct and powerful action upon the contents of the stomach
 One grain of a single ingredient in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest se00 grains of food. This saves your stomach and gives 1t the rest 1t net eds All muscles require occasional rest if they are eyer overtaxed. The stom- ach is no exception to this rule.

OVER 25OO BALES
 AT ALBERT VILE Warehouses Swamped With the Fleecy Staple-Car
 Shortage Interferes


 AibertYiiie. octaher i.-fspecial.)- There is now more cotton in Albertvllle than at any time in the history of the city, over 250O bales being in the local warehouses and all the vacant lots have been brought into use m order to store the staple. The railroads are unable to furnish cars to move the crop.
 There is an average of 4eO bales daily being marketed here and unless the situ- alton improves the car shortage will be a serious problem. Albertville has long been considered one of the best cotton markets in north Alabama and this year the receipts bid fair to break all previous records
 The Albertville merchants are doing ar unusually large business. and the gen eral outlook all over Sand mountain was never brighter. Boaz and Guntersville are also receiving quite a good deal of cotton and they too are handicapped on account of the car shortage
 In view of the fact that the election is not quite a week off, politics is the sole topic of conversation on the streets. Wilson will carry the county by a good majority despite of the frantic efforts be- ing made by the bull moosers to sway the voters into the Roosevelt columns. Con- gressman Burnett will also receive a handsome majority, and the entire ticket from President to constable is safe,

Thousands With Poor Teeth Have Good Digestion By Using Stuart's

Whether or not we eat too much, Is q matter for individual judgment. Benjamin Franklin tried the experi- 1nent of living on handful of raisins Put he discovered that the question wasn't what he ate nor the quantity thereof, but one of digestion and as- similation. The normal person ents heartily, and with keen enjoyment. That Is because his mind doesn't An- ticipate stomach trouble. And if he does have an attack of sour storn- ach or Indigestion he knows that the use of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give quick relief.
