Win Ant & commercial traveler from Birminghsm, hose business keeps him al- most constantly on the road, relates in the Sun- day News the dangers to health resulting from constant change of/residerce, and the way be overcame the usual fjari¢us effects. He says: Ore thipg people traveling cannot very well avoid is the constant change in water and food; the stomach never has an opportunity to become accustomed’ te anything, and in a few years, or much sooner, the overage traveling man becomes a hopeless dyspeptic. For several years] euffered more or less from indigestion, sour stomichs, headaches, distaste for focd, often no appetite, gas on the stomach and the usual unpleasant effects of imperfect digestion. Nearly. every traveling man has his favorite remedy for different troubles, and I tried all of them with indifferent results, Finally on the train between Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day I overbeard a conversation between two ladics, one of whom had suffered severely from indiges- tion, and stated she had been completely cured by a remedy which she called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 remembered the conversation because it directly interested me, and at the next town I inquired at the first drug store and bought a pack- age for ffty ccnts, and from that day to this I have never been without them. They are pleasant tasting tablets, not a secret patent medicine, but composed of vegetable essences, pure pepsin, fru!t salts nnd Golden Seal. Being in tablet form, they never lose their good qualities like a liquid med- Jeine would, but are always fresh and ready for use. I carry a bex in iy pocket continually, and whenever I see any symptoms of indigestion 1 take one, also one after each meal, and for a year and a hatf I have not lost a day by reason cf poor health and can cat anything und relish what I eat; my digestion .8 absolutely perfect, far as I can judge from my feelings, and althoug) there may be otber siomach medicines just 4s good as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, I do not know what they are. Certainly for people who travel they are far ahead of any liquid medicine, as they are #9 convenient they can be carried in the pocket and used whenever needed. I believe they are sold by ‘all druggists at 5) cente, and believe any one who will try them will agree with me that for indigestion and stomach trouble Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are unequaled. ap21&23 PT ne ee ae ee en a a ee ed “The Situation.” We still have a very few of those sample Chamber and Parlor Suites—and single Din- ing Room, Library and Hall Pieces left.

NEXT WEEK'S LIST OF WEDDINGS Dinners and Other Recent Socia- ble Happenings. PERSONAL NOTES ——— The conditions under which the spring season opened are not conducive to exces- sive gayety. Good-byes to the soldier and sailor boys have created a somewhat damp atmosphere, to which the events of each succeeding day but add increased moisture. Wives of the men who fought in the last war recall vividly their partings with their husbands, thinking they would be away weeks or perhaps months at the most, only to find that four years elapsed before they saw them again. There have been good- byes pathetic and romantic between old and young, exchanges of souvenirs between promised lovers, and such scenes of which the present generation never expected to krow by personal experience. European and other summer plans are abandoned, and contentment with what pleasure and variety can be found in life at the capital of the nation is apparent on every side. The art loan exhibition continues to be the meeting place for society every afternoon, each day adding increased interest to its brilliant success. The wedding bells, how- ever, ring out at pleasant intervals. In proof of the theory that but one idea can dominate in the brain, one fair bride-elect said the other day that indeed she is s0 busy with her wedding plans that she has no time to bother about the war. Possibly the ‘only wedding of the spring in official society will be that of Miss Alger and Mr. Charles Pike of Chicago, which is set for May 18. Only a small circle of friends will join the family party as wit- nesses. Miss Alger, a relative of the bride; Miss Chittendon, Miss Henry and Miss Pitts of Detroit, with Miss Miles and Miss Gary, will be bridesmaids. As announced, the marriage of Miss Lucy Corkhill and Mr. Coker Fifield Clarkson of New York will take place Thursday evening next at the residence of the bride's grandmother, Mrs. Miller, widow of Jus- tice Miller of the United States Supreme Court. Bishop Hurst will officiate. ‘The marriage next Wednesday evening at the First Baptist Church of Miss Lillian hop Young toe Mr. William H. Herron be an important social ev>nt, in which a large circle of friends are interested. The bride will be attended by a maid of honor, Miss Nella Bayne Shute, and six brides- maids, Misses Rosa Ford, Maud> Duvall, Ella Given, Edith Cogley, Sarah Mason and Katherine Lay. Mr. W. J. Lloyd will be best man, and Messrs. T. Clyde Herron and Edwin S. Herron of Allerton, Ill, brothers of the groom; Fred. E. Young, Lawson San- ford of New York city, William H. Griffin and Robert H. Chapman will serve as ush- ors. The ceremony will be performed by Rev. Dr. Stakely, assisted by Dr. Wm. H. Young of Athens, Ga. A pretty wedding next Wednesday morn- ing at St. Peter's Church, Capitol Hill, will be that of Miss Mary Dorothea Weller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. I. Weller, to Mr. Charles Augustin» McCarthy of Pres- cott, Canada. The northern visitors who attended the marriage of Miss Lute Gordon and Mr. Thomson last week at Sutherland, Gen. John B. Gordon's home near Atlanta, speak of it as one of the prettiest scones they have ever witnessed. The bride is just sev- enteen and a very beautiful girl, who made as charming a bride as her mother, Mrs. Gordon, did years ago. She is a niece of General Gordon. The ceremony took place in front of the wide, old-fashioned fireplace in the dining hall of the old Gordon man- sion, the bridal proc2ssion approaching through the suite of three parlors. The bridesmaids wore white organdie, with green ribbons and short tulle veils, and the maid of honor was in pale green crgandie. The bride’s white satin was draped with duchesss lace, and her veil was of the same lace. The bridal party, twenty in all, sat down to breakfast, served on a round table in the blue parlor, which room, like the rest of the spactous house, was em~ bow2red with the flowers which flourish so beautifully in che neighborhood. The bride’s health was drunk from a silver foving cup presented to the groom by twelve college chums, who were all present. Th> newly married couple boarded a special train at the gate of the estate for Augusta, the n their wedding tour. ‘The whole decorated with white ribbons and the men of the bridal party while kood-byes were being said. and Thomson are going abroad and will rlin.

Father John Boyle, in the presence of a number of friends and relatives of the couple. They were attended by Mr. Lee Bailey, a brother of the groom, and Miss Helen Finke. Miss Confer wore white brocaded duchess satin, and her bridesmaid Nile green moire poplin. Supper was served at the home of the par- ents of the bride, after which the couple started for Boston and other cities in the east.
