'GRUBB IMPOSES A
 4YEAR SENTENCE, ON WH|TEHEADS
Brothers Each Given Peni. tentiary Sentence-Harris and Company Fined
 S1OOO-Will Appeal

F. E.. Whitehead and L. A. White head, president and vice president. re- spectively. of the Standard Home com pany. recently convicted in federal court of the use of the mails for frau dulent purposes, were given a sentence of four years each in the penitentiary Ey Judge W. l. Grubb yesterday aft ernoon. L. F. Harris. secretary "f the company, who was jointly convicted of the same offense, was given fine of 5000 by Judge Grubb. who stated that as secretary Harris did not share the same responsibility or the same profits as the two higher officials. hence the fine instead of the penitentiary sen tence imposed on the other defendants. fine of 5000 was also imposed on the Standard Home company. Atto1- neys for the defense requested that the fine against the company be not enforced, but Judge Grubb held to his decision, and it was entered.
 Notice of appeal was given and after discussion by opposing counsel an agreement was entered into allowing attorneys for the defendant until Au- gust 1 to prepare a bill of exceptions and errors of assignment and present them to the court. It was pointed out that as the trial lasted nearly two weeks and a mass of testimony intro- uuceu the attorney needed l1me tD pre- pare the case. Judge Grubb suspend- cd the sentence pending the appeal and fixed the bond of the two Whiteheads at $500 each and that of Harris at 5000. The bonds were promptly made.
 The sentencing of the defendants fol- lowed the denial of the motion for a new trial asked for by counsel for the defendant. Walker Percy, B. M. All len and E. N. Hammill. The motion was resisted by Special District Att torney O. D. Street, who had been ap- pointed to prosecute the case owing to the disqualification of District Attor- Hey Robert N. Bell. The arguments for the motion were made by Walker Percy, who cited authorities as to the law and argued that the evidence in the cass was not sufficient to convict Judge Grubb overruled the motion.
 The case against the Standard Home company officials was pending and went to trial last month. Witnesses were summoned from every state in the union wherein the Standard Home company had done any business. many coming from the extreme western states. The trial lasted two weeks with the result that the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Motion for new trial was made and after several eontinu- ances was heard yesterday.

CAPTAIN ROBSON . .SPEAKSAT GADSDEN Refers Extensively to World Issues and European
 War

Gadsden, March 20.-tSpecial.) )--Although sche eduled to deliver an address on the Subject. Destroying the Great De- | stroyer,' Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson at the courthouse this morning, took oc-
 oesion to refer extensively tolworld prob- lems, to the recent fight on the ship pur-
 chase bill, to the merchant marine, to a larger navy and to the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine and of the "oper door" policy in China.
 The courtroom was packed to the doors. Captain Hobson was preceded by the Rev. B. ooks Lawrence, superintendent of the ADti-Saloon League, who said he was going to do as he was accused by The Birmingham Age-Herald and the Mont gomery Advertiser-take collection. He declared the liquor interests levy tax of 25 cents barrel on beer and eight ceEts a gallon on liquor for a defense
 fund which totals $s0,oO0,ooO annually.
 Captain Hobson was introduced by J. B. | Wadsworth.
 l Captain Hobson first treated of the | world war now raging. He said that war should be curbed, and it's activities circumscribed
 Why should our cotton bring only D ceuts here. when it is being bought abroad for 15 and 20 cents? Why cant we send foodstuffs wherever we please? Why can't we send our ships to neutral na- tors? The use of the high seas is shu. off. Why? Simply because Britain has the greatest navy on earth, and is de- tcrmned to destroy the fleets of her en- elnies, and to curb the actions of fleets of her competitors. My friends, we ought to have ships to carry our goods .o foreign ports
 After declaring that President Wilson had played politics in the matter of the ship purchase bill, although he QIobson) had voted for it in the hope of estap- lishing a merchant marine, he declared "If we had a good navy, we could send cur goods wherever we pleased Cotton would be bringing 16 cents. Men would not now be out of work through out this country
 Captain Hobson referred to the uplift
 worl. being done by women, and believed that they should be given the ballot. He told of the recent fight in the House for nationwide prohibition. He said he believes the vote on the question in the
 Sixty-fourth Congress- will be larger than
 1t was in the Slxty-third. but not re-
 q,lired two-thirds. He urged his hearers
 to begin fighting in 1916 for the mem
 bcrs of the Sixty-fifth Congress, which he
 believes will enact in the spring of 1917

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 singling out some article of food and soundly berating the fiend who first invented 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 students for many years have set their seal of approval because they have be- come absolute facts. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for all stomach disorders are recognized; they have fine record they are rated reliable, dependable and worthy of confidence just as the presi- dent of big bank puts his O. K. on a depositor's check. And so you can eat what you want whatever you like, Knowing we'll that should indigestion, sour risings. gas formations, fermen- tations or any other stomach distress arise, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in a few moments will put you right.
 Coated tongue, bad breath. heartburn. belching, fatulency, bloat-all the symptoms of digestive troubles disap pear quickly when these tablets are used. They are not cure for anything but dyspepsia and kindred complaints. But they have brought relief to more sufferers from digestive diseases than all the patent medicines and doctors s prescriptions put together.
 The stomach does the heaviest work of any of the bodily organs, yet it's the che 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 it can and. then it rebels. You get notice of the rebellion in the shape of the gases and pains caused by undigested, fermenting food.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold and recommended by all druggists at 5Oc a box.
