To sit back after a good meal and

after eating. Most people believe
they can trace each attack OF indi-

two Of these tablets. Whether 1t 10

neavy hearty foods or some one par
ticular offender the relief comes Just
the same. Those who are susceptible
to attacks Of indigestion or dyspepsia
should try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab

Chicago, March 96.-Strength de-
veloped in the corn market today ow-
ing TO lack of confirmation of rumors
that the 200, 900 bushel limit on grain
dealing would be restored. Wet
weather was a bull!sh factor also. De-
mand, however, was mostly confined
to shorts. Opening prices, which
ranged from 4 cent decline to a like
advance with May $l.53a TO sl.54L
and July S1.4SA to $1.4S4 were fol-
lowed by substantial gains all around.
Subsequently export demand for
wheat and rye helped TO rally the
corn market after setbacks due TO
liquidation by small holders. The
close was nervous, ~ TO "a net

Chicago, March 6.-Corn-Corn
covered a wide range, with only
moderate outside trade. The May
delivery advanced cents per bushel
during the last hour, when large
local short interest was routed The
persistent demand for cash corn, a
sharp advance in Sterling, and light
receipts on account OF bad weather.
were the chief factors.
Oats-Oats were irregular but
were stronger than corn, altho the
net gain was not so great. Many
traders who have lost confidence in
corn during the last few days, have
persisted on the long side of oats,
feeling there is more merit in them
on account of small reserves and
very wide cash premiums. Some Of
the late buying was credited 10
spreaders who have been long in
Winnipeg and short in the Chicago
market.
Observation-Disclosures recovered
quickly from moderate breaks, being
helped by the late strength in grain.
Local shorts were credited with be
ing the best buyers. Hogs closed

Eyes of the World"
Proves Immense Hit
At Opera House

Eyes Of the World" the film YER
sion of the immortal story by Harold
Bell Wright made a big hit on its
first presentation at the Augusta
house yesterday. 1t will be given for
the last times this afternoon and
evening with the same special music.
Probably no novel which Mr..
Wright has written emphasizing the
clashing social forces of our times
more than his popular book THE
Eyes of the World" THAT these de-
termining forces are so seldom seen
by the eyes of the worlds the rea-
son for pictures and stories" These
words from the author himself ex-
plain the reason for his book. in
which it would seem as though he
had sent great message penned
from his own experience and observ-
atoms And what more forceful way
have we to drive home a message
today than by the silent drama ?
Harold Bell Wright's belief in this
fact has been proved by the personal
interest he displayed in the screen
exploitation of his popular story.
His varied career that brought him
to some of the most remote corners
Of the earth, encountered for him
many of the incidents and expert
