Expert Says Experiment Sta
tion Should Be Located With
Agricultural College.
With the opening -■ -i"ii • tie As
sedation of Agricultural Colleges and
Experiment Station. at the Piedmont
hotel today, Atlanta !>■ ante th- host of
three bodies of men r.-presenting f. rm
• ing interests the fa :in institute u-'ik
ers. the weathei -nen and the am c ul
tural school < Xpert-. Thejr sc-sions aio
held separate!.', but their interest are
closely allied and many individual- are
officers in two "f the organizations.
J. L. Hills, of Vermont, secretary
treasurer of the college- association,
aroused interest today by declaring
that the Georgia experiment station at
Griffin was placed there for political
reasons.
"There are only two states in the
Union where the stations are located at
a different place from the agricultural
college," he said. "They are Ohio and
Georgia. I believe this is a mistake.
The stations should be closely con
nected with the colleges for the benefit
of Instruction of students and for the
( ollegiate atmosphere.
"The farm experiment stations con
ducted by the government and the
states are of great value, as they d<>
i xperimental work designed to improve
methods now in vogue, while the col
leges find their work in instructing stu
dents in recognized methods. The ulti
mate object of both is a reduction in
the cost of living."
The association opened its first ses
sion at 10 o'clock ami will continue
through Friday, with sessions morning
and afternoon. The convention of the
l , 'arnnei's Institute Workers closed yes
terday afternoon, but man' of the dele
gates remained for the second conven
tion.

A Rousing Appetite
Is a Keen Delight
And What Is of Greater Interest,
Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets
Enable the Stomach to
Digest Whatever Is
Eaten.
j
Wo all like to see the way healthy
children devour their meals. Would we
could all do the same! Hating ought
to be a delight It is one of life’s chief
enjoyments. People who can not relish
a good meal ate apt to fall Into those
ill-tempered moods from which they
view the world as a sorry place to live
tn. So let us learn to employ the best
means of harmonizing our existence and
thus extract from our dally grind ail
the pleasure there is to be had. This we
• •an do by keeping our stomachs in
prime, active working order.
A majority of people have come to
know the blessings which an occa
sional use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets confer upon the stomach. They
are unquestionably the most popular
remedy known, for the reason that
dyspepsia is the national disease, that
these wonderful little tablets have long
since acquired a national reputation
as a throughly tellable and efficient
cure for all forms of dyspepsia and
indigestion.
No matter how great the excess of
food taken into tin- stomach, one or two
of these tablets will digest every | at tieli
of it. A package of Stuart’s Dypsepsia
Tablets should always be in the house.
Matty a person has saved himself from
a serious attack of acute indigestion
by using them after heavy measls. such
as are eaten Christmas. New Year's
Thanksgiving and other holiday - and
festal seasons.
After attending banquets, late sup
pers. heavy fancy dinners, after-thea
ter parties, etc., where one has dined
sumptuously and luxuriantly, Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets should invariably
be used, as they digest the food per
fectly and completely, and pr< vent all
possibility of dyspepsia, which, with
out their use, is more titan likely to
ensue.
Americans ate exceedingly fond of
the good things of life, and there is i
apt to be great excess of eating ami
the only way to overcome Its bad
effects on the stomach Is to employ h
powetful and efficient digestive such'
as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, which!
