THE HIGHEST OF HONORs

TO DIR. PRIcE's AT THE GREAT FAIRS. Chicago Tribune.
 For leavening power, keeping qualities, purity and general excellence the Worlds fair jury decided that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder had no equal. On each of it's claims it was awarded a first prize or a diploma. All the baking powders entered for prizes were subjected to a most ex- haustive examination, and the jury was the best equipped to make the decision of any ever got together. Their verdict was supported by the testimony of Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief chemist of the United States department of agriculture at Washington. Dr: Wiley is an expert on food products and the highest authority on such matters in America. This verdict settles a long debated question as to which among the many baking powders is the best.

WOMEN TO THE FRONT.

THEY AGAIN ASSERT THEIR RIGHTS BY
 ORGANIZING A GYMNAsIUM GLASS.
 Birmingham is daily assuming cosmopol. itan features and following in the footr- steps of larger cities.
 Yesterday afternoon a new feature was sprung by the women of the city.
 For several years the Birmingham ath < letes have made wide reputation $ and good work has been done in the gym. nasium toward the development of the physical man. The work has. been kept up steadily, and is 8 great benefit as e promoter of good health.
 Yesterday afternoon the women followed the footsteps of the men by the organiza- ton of a gymnasium class. The class was organized, and yesterday at 2:30 o'clock the first exercise taken. s
 The ladies' gymnasium is under separate control, but is in the Young Mems Chris. tian association building. Professor Miles has charge of the class, and Mrs. Johnston and Mrs. Joseph McLester are chaperones.
 The matter is being encouraged on all sides and many inquiries are being made, and in short while the ladies expect to have large class The mem mbership fee is so small that it is placed in the reach of fair. ~s A s~'si = Fl

HAL HAl HA! IT FITS,

The cap fits! The arrow finds it's mark, and Sergeant Buzfuz of the stTwiIight Jimplecute" acknowledges it with P sad but polite and graceful bow. Just as soon as Sergeant Buzfuz of the "Twilight Jim- plecute" learns the truth of the old adage, "Self praise is half scandal" allows an intelligent public to be it's own judge of the merits of newspapers, and withholds the disgusting blasts of that sunset bazoo, the AGE HERALD will cease presenting these object lessons and lay down it's bow and arrow. Our effort to reform the "Twi- light Jimplecute" and Sergeant Buzfuz, it's manager, comes from an earnest desire that a reading public may be permitted to enjoy the enterprise of Birmingham journalism without being overdosed with narcotics of self-adulation. That's all.

MOBILE AND BIRMINGHAM.

The AGE-HERALD presents this morning an interview with MT. George Bruce Thomas, @ prominent citizen of Mobile, wherein that gentleman calls attention to the great advantages his city offers as Ala bama's seaport, and the fact that the peo- pie of this State do not show just appre- citation of Mobile. MT. Thomas' re- marks will be read with much interest, aud the AGE HERALD commends his views to the consideration of it's readers. Mobile and Birmingham have many interests in common, and it would be pleasing and profitable for the two Alabama cities to join hands in an effort for mutual progress and development.
 Mobile should and will, at an early day. become the chief export city for Alabama products. She has been held back by rail. road influences and the operation of un- wise tariff laws. but now that day is break ing Mobile can see bright future ahead of her.
 It will be very difficult, however, for Mir. Thomas to convince people that Mobile is the point for the manufacture of steel. If the importation of Cuban ores to mix with Alabama ores is a solution of the steel uues- ton in Alabama, Mobile may receive the foreign ores from barges at her docks and place that one necessary article on the rail- road cars to be run up to Birmingham, here to be met by our coal and limerock, and here to be manufactured into steel. Birmingham is to be the great manufactur. ing city of the South-her natural advan- tages will make her so-and with that end in view she will gladly join Mobile in the effort to build up that deserving Alabama city.

A NODLEMAN IN FACT AND NAME.
Germany's Great Baron and His Won-
 derful Discovery.

We are very apt to forget the significance of the word 'nobleman, o although a luo- ment's consideration brings it clearly be- fore our minds. i
 If ever man lived who was justified in bearing the title it was Baron Justus von Liebig. The entire life of this good and brilliant man was devoted to thoughtful study toward the amelioration of suffering and the advanceme nt of science.
 like most men of genius, he rode a habby, and this hobby was the great ques- tion of food and digestion.
 Not the least among his inventions was a process by which starchy foods may be ar- tificially digested outside of the body, and energy thus spared for expenditure in other directions.
 This may not interest the men and women of robust digestion, who go from an elab- crate dinner free from distress or even con- sciousness that their stomachs are doing great work. sas
 It will, however, strongly appeal to the miserable, pale, thin dyspeptics, who look upon eating as disagreeable necessity and realize that every mouthful of food is to contribute one more ache or pain to their sufferings. They will recognize that by the use of such an artifcially digested food their tired stomachs can be rested and re- cuperated.

 1 notice in this mornings edition Of your paper statement made by Messrs. Jones and Lane in regard to 1.-the people coming south."
 This is very important subject to the people of Alabama if they could only un- derstand and give it the proper considera- tion.
 There is large amount of idle land in different portions of the state that could be quickly disposed of provided the present owners would not turn hog and drive away the wouldbe purchasers by high prices.
 Last year while in Chicago l accidentally met several residents of South Dakota, when, learning that came from the south and especially Alabama, they became in- terested and asked many questions regard ing the climate, people and soil.
 The information was gladly provided, but not being versed in prices l enlight- ened them with only what knew on the subject. During @ conversation several made the statement that they understood the people in this country as rule were naughty and disliked foreigners. imme- diately gave them the assurance that this was wrong. While such thing had been probable forty years ago, 1t was not so now, especially in the northern part of the
 
 fair they saw no exhibits from my state. told them better, directing them to the different bpildings that contained samples of cur various resources and efforts, and that as 1t was true Alabama had no build- ing at the fair it did not prove that this was not great common wealth; that she had decided to use the money for perma- nent improvements rather than this way for the present.
 Now, here want to say that I notice | ha exhibits at present at Chicago. A few years ago Alabama had one or two nicely ar- ranged cars for exhibiting the resources of the state. Where are they3 If the finances of the state are in such condition that an- other exhibit cannot be arranged. then for goodness sake trot out the old one; and as it is universally acknowledged that all we need is emigration among the farming peo. pie of other cou ntrIes, now is the time to send the car. Taking for granted that there is no exhibit of any kind in existence, it would cost very little for the enterprising merchants to take the matter in hand and fit up one.
 At present. when the people of the north- west are so anxious to live somewhere else, why not go to them with open arms and invite them to Alabama and give them a home? These people are not of the lawless class, but are law.abiding citizens, with money, and who have an energy for thrift that is wonderful.
 To my perception two men have been doing all the work. Just two from among this mass of people, and these two have had time only to make an occasional trip, for which many thank them. If our peo- pie will just for awhile drop this tiresome routine of politics and take up this impor- tant subject with vehemence that will stir up the people from center to clrcum- ference and not wait for some one else, it will bring wealth and prosperity to our land.

Like many other advances in science, Baron Lebig's invention has never been practically applied until recently. Now. however, in Paskoia, the new medicinal food, we have the embodiment of his idea. No wonder, then, that this product has been 80 successful in the treatment of in- digestion and attracted such widespread attention. -
 Paskola is simply an artificially djgestel food, combined with organic principles, which aid the digestion of other foods in the stomach.
 It is palatable; 1t needs no preparation beyond 2 simple dilulion in water, but 1t affords almost immediate relief.
 What it does is best told by those who are using 1t. We quote from a few of the letters which have reached us recently,
 MT. John Fleck of Wilmore, Pa., states as follows, under date 9f September il; with indigestion, which -culminated about six weeks ago, when broke down com- pletely. Having noticed your advertise ments, resolved to give Paskola a trial, and accordingly bought small sized bot tie. felt decided improvement from the very day began to use it, and can now eat almost anything without pain or dis tress, and firmly believe that had it not been for Paskola would be numb mbered with the great majority that rest beneath the sod. 1 unhesitatingly recommend it to all who are troubled with indigestion or dys.
 Mrs. Arthur M. Mcclure of Rutland, Vt., wrote, under date of July 24, in part as follows: ''For eight months had been a complete invalid. My physician said it was as bad case of nervous exhaustion as he had ever seen. Igained very little nn- der course of tonics and rest. had no appetite; digestion badly impaired; could get very little sleep without the aid of mar. cotics; my heart palpitated to snffocation upon the slightest exertion or excitement, and my nervous condition was something frightful. was unable to do anything. I have taken four bottles of Paskola and am pleased to say that my appetite and strength increased from the very first week of it's use. The extreme nervousness gradually grew less. In fact, feel better in every way, and have gained flesh untilmy weight is now normal.v
 In conclusion we might say that the flesh producing qualities of Paskola are not surprising, when we consider that starch is pature' 's source of fat, and the base of our preparations, as previously stated, Is artificially digested starch. A tired stom- aoh. like Q tired back, needs rest. Paskola will rest your stomach. If you will send your name to the Pre- -Digested Food com. pany of No. 30 Reade street, New York, they will be glad to send you an interesting pamphlet on this sll-important subject of IOOQ ana Q1geBLlon.

LAW in China prohibits a man from running for office until three years have elapsed after the death of his mother. This suggests law that would work well in this country. Suppose we enact law pro- hibiting candidates from running for office within three years after the death of their mother-in-law. This would serve to make men treat their mothers in- law with more consideration, and would lessen the num- Der of office seekers.

 and as we now have good railroad facilities and B feet of water at our docks we will have no difficulty In handling the raw ma terial and finished products.

HON. WILLIAM l.. WILSON predicts that the United States will soon be the great competitor of England in the markets of the world. There is no reason why the United States, and especially the South, should not compete successfully with Eng land in South America. Yet we find the South American republics buying their railroad material and machinery in a large measure from England. The present Dem- ocratic tariff will foster the trade of our country with the nations south of us.

Cosgrove & Grants aggregation of clever people provoked an uproar of laughter at O'Brlen's last night from the time the cur tain went up on the first act until it fell on the last. The play has been rewritten and made almost entirely new, and was far better last night than last year.
 Miss Florrie West as the Dazzler was a great success. Winsome and clever, she scored an immense hit in her character vocalization in the second act. She de- served the repeated encores accorded her.
 Charles Wayne as Ezekiel Pi pes, a man with history, was indeed very clever. His work as 8 comedian was something out of the ordinary.
 William Mason as Wertzbirger Ratz, 8 retired brewer, was also very clever, while Bob Ralston as Murphy O. Murphy brought down the house. His size and the ex- pressions that played over his face at times would have made the most severe criterion laugh.
