Stop Acid, Sour Risings
and Such Dyspeptic Distress

When the fact is considered that
even careful people, those who fol-
low diet rules, get attacks of indi-
gestion, no argument is needed to
recommend the best means of relief.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are used
by lawyers, doctors, teachers, by
business men. high 1ivers. society
women, industrial workers.. clerks,
and the worst abused stomach in
the world, those Of q host of travel
ers.
For thirty years people have
learned that they may eat what they
like or what is set before them. and
no matter what the condition of the
stomach. If. due to dyspepsia, these
wonderful tablets stop gassiness and
sour risings, they give. the stomach
the alkaline effect which overcomes
acidity and thus they either avoid
distress after eating or else they
quickly relieve 1t. Be fortified. Get

AUGUSTA MERCHANTS
VOTE WEDNESDAY
Pm. CLOSING

The members Of the merchants"
bureau OF the Augusta chamber of
commerce at a meeting held Tuesday
afternoon at the chamber of COM
merce rooms voted to close their
stores on Wednesday afternoons in
July and August as they have done
for the past several years. The
question of closing instead upon
Saturday afternoons and evenings
and OF keeping the stores open on
Friday nights in place Of the usual
Saturday night opening was dis
cussed but 1t was the concensus of
opinion that the Wednesday after
noon closing would be much better.
The meeting also decided that Pa
triots day would be observed on
Monday, April 81. instead of upon
Saturday az 1t was not thought best
to close upon Saturday. The stores
will be closed at that time.
The matter OF cooperative spring
time all spring and Easter styles will
be shown.
The merchants decided to arrange
to meet with the mayor and the city
traffic committee at some future
time to discuss the local traffic con-
dttionS and to see what could be
done to improve them.
A discussion of out of town buying
by local organizations was taken up
and representatives of these organ
izations will be asked to meet with
the members of the merchants bu-
reau to discuss the matter.
A nominating committee consisting
OF E. E. Bradbury, r. E. Beane, d.
w. Adams, A. A. Soule and G. A
Merrill was appointed to draw.up a
list of officers for the coming year
| The committee will report at the

chants bureau were present and the
