Don't Be Pussy
 About Eating
Your Stomach Will Digest Any Kind of Food When Given the Proper
 Assistance

We are prone to fall into the error of slngling out some article of food and soundly berating the fiend who first in- vented the dish. The habit grows with some people till almost all food is put on the blacklist This is all wrong. What is required is a little assistance with those agencies upon which scientific stu dents for many years have set their seal of approval because they have become absolute facts Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab let's for all stomach disorders are recog- njzed: they have q fine record; they are rated reliable, dependable and worthy of confidence just as the president of a big bank puts his O. K. on a deposltors $ check And so you can eat what you want, whatever you like, knowing well that should indigestion. sour risings, gas formations, lamentations or any other stomach distress arise. Stuarts Dyspep- sia Tablets in few moments will put you right.
 Coated tongue, bad breath, heartburn. belching, fiatulency, bloat-all the symp- toms of digestive troubles disappear quickly when these tablets are used. They are not a cure for anything but dyspep- aia and kindred complaints. But they have brought relief to more sufferers from digestivediseases than all the patent medicines and doctors prescriptions put together.
 The stomach does the heaviest work of any of the bodily organs. yet it's the one we treat with the least regard We eat too much of the wrong kind of food at any time. The patient stomach stands such treatment as long as 1t can and then 1t rebels. You get notice of the rebellion in the shape of the gases and pains caused by urdigested. ferrnenting food.
 Stoart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold and recommended by all druggists at 5oc a box.

WIRELESS AMATEURS
 MUST HAVE LICENSE
All Alabama Applications Should Be Made to In-
 spector, in New Orleans

New Orleans, October 17.-(Special.)- Approximately 400 wireless equipped American ships, 100 commercial wireless with colleges, schools and experimental laboratories, and several thousand anna teur wireless stations will be affected by regulations promulgated by Acting Sec retary Cable of the department of com merce and labor to enforce the radio communication act of Congress which goes into effect December 13 next. The act establishes a complete federal con- trol system over radio communication, and requires licensing of all wireless op- orators working across state lines or in communication with ships at sea. It is therefore important that all persons using or contemplating the use of wireless teieg- raphy should famlliarze themselves with the requirements of the act of Congress and the regulations prescribed thereun- der.
 The department will administer the act through radio inspectors at New York, Baltimore. New Orleans and San Fran cisco, and additional inspectors will soon be appointed for Boston, Chicago, Savan- nah, Seattle and Cleveland. The United States has been divided into nine districts with headquarters at those cities.
 The circular embodying the regulations announces the eligibility of women as op- orators and states that licenses for coast stations will be issued by the nearest radio inspector or by the commissioner of navigation at Washington. Examinations of would-be operators will be held at the navy yards, naval stations. the Naval academy, certain army posts and else where. Amateur stations are restricted in wave length of transmittal to not ex- ceeding POO meters, except in special ap- plication to the department.
 The jurisdiction of the radio inspector at New Orleans comprises the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana. Texas. Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. His address is room 235 custom house, New Orleans, and all wireless op- orators or others concerned in radio com munication should apply at once to him for information and instructions relative thereto, in order that they may not sub ject themselves to the penalties attaching to non-conformity with the law.
