Laughter, Digestion
And health
An eminent Russian physician ha? J
stated his opinion that laughter is
one of the best means known to
science for the correction of Dyspep
sia, stomach and nervous diseases.
Daughter, however, in a dyspeptic
Is) like the memory of running
brooks and shady giens so the fam
ishing and dying man lost in the de
scr'.
If bne could but know all the
causes, reasons, and origins of Dys
pepsia, one would not wonder at a
half-heartedness of a dyspeptic’s
gaiety.
There is a ceaseless call for appe
tite; food and enjoyment to a dys
peptic, coupled with a morose, moody
belief and knowledge that such a call
is mockery and if indulged in will
bring discomfort, pain and regret.
Perhaps if it were understood that,
the digestive system, including
mouth, throat and alimentary canal,
embracing as it does the stomach, is
composed of membraneous tissue fill
ed with millions of small nerves,
which control added millions of Hr
tie mouths or suckers. Perhaps 'f
this were known men could more
comprehensibly understand that to
disarrange such a system would mean
indeed intense physicial pain.
Now suppose that this alimentary
canal is a mass of worn-out, debili
tated nerves and mouths, each suf
fering ■"tcrr.cia' ng physical pain ar.d
discomfort and suppose such a ca
nal filled with the fumes and foul
odors and decayed food front the last
meal, and one has a slight idea as to
the lack of laughter of a dyspeptic.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets com
posed of the highest digestive ingre
dients —one grain of a single ingre
dient being capable of digesting 3,000
grains of toed—relieves the alimen
tary canal of its onerous duties, as
sists it along its entire length (30
feet) to perform its routine, imparts
strength and buoyancy to the stom
ache and gives back to the blood a
strong, healthy nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are nat
ural adjuncts to digestion. They do
not falsely stimulate an /already
weakened machine, but build up
where building is needed and remove
where removal is necessary.
Stuart’’ Dyspepsia Tablets have
nothing to conceal. Here is what
they are made of: Hydrastis, golden
seal, lactose and aseptic pepsin.
Forty thousand physicians in Ameri
ca and .Canada use and prescribe
them. They should be used after
every hearty meal whether one is a
dyspeptic or not.
Every druggist carries them; price
50e. Send us your name and ad
dress and we will send you a sample

PANAMA LECTURE
MUCH ENJOYED
Mr. Bennett Entertained
Large Audience at St.
Janies With Talk of the
Panama Canal.
The lecture on the “Panama Canal”
by Mr. Claude N. Bennett in St.
James’ Sunday school building, was
delivered Thursday night to a large
and appreciative audience. The lec
ture was all that could be expected
and the audience after seeing the
views and hearing the talk by Mr.
Bennett appreciated the truth of what
he said at the begining that, to ex
plain and give a comprehensible re
view’ of the wonderful work being
done, would take many night’s talk
ing and that in the limited time he
would only be able to give one phase
of it, the actual work.
Before the lecture, Rev, Richard
Wilkinson made a few’ introductory
remarks. Thanking the large audi
ence for coming to the lecture on
such a bad night and expressing the
pleasure it gave him to welcome Mr.
Bennett to St. James.
Major J. C. C. Black introduced Mr.
Bennett, expressing his pleasure at
being able to present him as an old
Augusta boy, telling of his rise in the
world of journalism, and of the bu
reau conducted by Mr. Bennett in
Washington.
Mr. Bennett held the interest of the
audience from the beginning. Show
ing the enormous dock and the rail
road tracks on it, which enable the
ships to unload to the cars, he dem
onstrated the enormous improvements
made by the government over the old
native'and French Systems. He show
ed illustrations of the roads, the
streets and the buildings. The’ views
of the present residences of the of
ficers and the laborers compared with
their residences undent the French, j
makes the listener wonder how the i
THOMAS W. LAWSON'S
PART SECOND OF HIS GREAT STORY
THE FUTURE GF OUR COUNTRY
' i
is out to-day. Pump-hearted men and women everywhere
should read this chapter that they may be equipped to under
stand the soul-soaring parts to follow. Through the first and
second parts, Mr. Lawson’s forked pen canters to the gallop
which is to carry his story to the wild, weird, wizarding
wakon which signboards America’s finish.
So great was the rush for the December number of the
New England Magazine, carrying Mr. Lawson’s first instal
ment of “The Future of Our'Country,” that a second edition
was sent to press before the distribution of the first was well
begun, an unheard of thing in the magazine world. While
the January edition will be a large increase over December,
all uho wish to read Mr. Lawson s story should order early.

JANUARY NUMBER
BLACK IS HELD ;
BT fiMMEj
Bound Over for Trial for
Killing Negro —lnvolun
tary Manslaughter.
• !
Mr, New'ton Black, the constable of |
Judge B. B. Strange’s court, was given t
a preliminary hearing before Judge 1
E. T. Bennett Thursday afternoon for
the killing of Henry Wiglaii, a ne- 1
gro, Tuesday night. Judge Bennett, I
after hearing the evidence in the case, ;
bound Mr. Black over to the superior ;
court tor involuntary manslaughter in
the commission of an unlawful act.
Bond was fixed at $750. There were j
sVeral gentlemen present who went j
on the bond and Mr. Black was on
the streets Thursday night.
Mr. E. G. Katbfleisch represented
the prosecution and Mr. T. F. Harri- i
son represented the defense. The j
state placed three witnesses on the:
stand. Lillie Irby, Kate Doby and
the wife of the negro. The Doby and i
Irby w'onien testified they were sil
ting around the fire with Wigfall, who I
w-as recovering from a long spell of:
sickness. They said a rap on the
door was heard and Mr. Black asked
if Henry was at home. They told
him he was and Mr. Black came in
and told him he was under arrest.
Mr. Black started to put the handcuffs
on Wigfall, who objected and the men
went to scuttling. The women said
they saw Mr. Black draw his club,
and rail out of the house. Almost
immediately afterwards they heard
two pistol shots.
Wigfall’s wife’s story was about the
same. She said when Mr. Black drew
his club, she caught him by the arm.
She said when he drew the pistol she
ran, and heard the shots a short time
afterwards.
Mr. Black told of the negro resist
ing arrest. When he started to put
the handcuffs on him. the negro be
gan to fight. The negro women jump
ed on him, as he pulled his club and
Wigfall jerked away and ran into an
other room. While he was trying to
get rid of the women, he saw Wig
fail coming at him with a long stick.
He said he drew his pistol, but the
first, shot went wild. The women re
leased him and he fired again, this
time the bullet reaching its mark.
In summing up the testimony for
the state, Mr. Kaibfleisch stressed
the fact that Mr. Black did not show
the warrant to the negro, nor did he
in any way show that he had a war
rant for him. The law requires the
warrant to he read before it is serv
ed. Mr. Kaibfleisch stated the ne
gro had a perfect right to resist the
officer, if the officer did not show
his authority.
Judge Benpett was very bqef. He
said the evidence showed that Mr.
Black did not go there with the in
tention of killing the man, but he
thought it his duty to bind him over
to the superior court on the charge
of involuntary manslaughter.
MR. TYNDALL ELECTED
DIOCESAN SECRETARY
Augusta friends are advised that
Rev. Charles Noyes Tyndall, until a
few months ago the rector of the
Church of the Good Shepherd in Sum
merville, had been signally honored
in his new parish, at Marietta.
He was recently elected alternate
deputy to s he diocesean convention,
and diocesean secretary. In Masonic
lodge work he is also prominent, hav
ing been chosen high priest at a re
cent meeting.
Mr. Tyndall’s quick popularity in
Marietta is a matter of abiding satis
faction to a host of warm friends and
admirers in Augusta, who wish him
every success and happiness in life.
people iived in the “Canal Zone” be
fore Uncle Sara took charge of the
work.
Mr. Bennett showed many beauti
fully colored views of the native resi
dences and the tropical fruits found
growing wild on the island. He also
showed the seven wonders of the
world, then showing the proposed
canal as the eighth wonder. The im
mensity of the problem that has been
successfully combated by the Amer
ican engineers is almost incompre
hensible.
When the engineers reached one
million cubic yards of dirt thrown
out a day, people began to wonder,
but they are now throwing out over
three million yards a day. Mr. Ben
nett showed views of a hill before it
, was blasted, as the blast went off.
and after the smoke and dust had
cleared away. He showed views of
President Roosevelt on his trip of in
spection.
The people present Thursday night
were pleased to learn that the lecture
by Mr. Bennett was but the first of a
series to be given in the Sunday
school building at St. James.

brought her home Thursday morn
ing. He is in a dying condition. J.

EDDIE FOY WILL
PRESENT HAMLET
Will Try a Step From the
Ridiculous to the Sub
lime.
NEW YORK. —Please don't laugh.
This is a serious matter. Eddie Foy
is going to ids- Hamlet at. a profes
sional matinee at the Casino Friday
afternoon. .Afcid Eddie is in earnest.
Since his presentation of the Ham
let burlesque in “Mr. Hamlet of Broad
way” at the Casino all of his profes
sional friends have been joking him
about it, particularly because he
dresses the part seriously. Eddie has
been telling thorn all that he is just
as good a Hamlet as ever pounded
the ties. To prove it he intends to
play the part just as Shakespeare
wrote it.
Whether or not Foy considers this
a joke, or if way down at the bottom
of his comedy heart he wants to go to
the mat with the Bard of Avon, re
mains to be seen. Some of his clos
est friends declare that Foy became
inflicted with the tragedy bug at, the
time Dave Warfield stepped from the
ridiculous to the sublime, and that
Foy really wants to see what others
think of him as a serious performer.
Maude Raymond will play tho part
of Ophelia as it was intended to he
played. r --

Acute Pains
“I suffered much pain in my right
arm rheumatism—took two of the
Anti-Pain Pills and the pain was
gone. Gave a lady friend, suffering
from pleurisy, two and they relieved
the pain in her breast.’’
1. A. GFELL, Cincinnati, Ind.
Because of their sedative influence
upon the nerve branches
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
relieve acute pains of any nature.
They are equally effective in neural
gia. rheumatism, sciatica, locomotor
ataxia, or the pain due to spinal
trouble. Ladies who have periods
of suffering find *uat they not only
relieve their distress but their attacks
become less severe, and after a time
often disappear altogether.
