effects.
MY appetite, which had failed me, re-
turned, my constipation ceased, and very
soon my liver became normal in its ac-

that the grip had hitherto had was re-

ervated- feeling that had so long pos

with the change in my condition, and

Physicians who rely on Paines celery
compound-as thousands of the most
wide-awake members of the profession
are doing, especially now that nearly
every one feels the need of a genuine
spring remedy-physicians know very
well what that languor and that tired
feeling means. They know that debility
today often results in nervous prostra-
ton tomorrow, unless the tired system is
quickly invigorated
That is why all over the country today
Paine's celery compound is being taken
by the advice of skilled physicians. 1t is
the one remedy that physicians can con-
scientously call a genuine spring rem
edy. Try it.

To the State Herald
The merchants, wage earners and bus
mess men who want legislation to prop
erly regulate the commissaries Will have
won barren victory if, after electing a
senator and SIX representatives to the
legislature, a governor should be chosen
who will veto bill for that purpose. 1t
is therefore quite as important that they
exert themselves to prevent such a re-
suit as 1T is to secure the election of
senator and representatives who will
work for such a measure. A ballot for
this purpose should be voted from top to
bottom; no scattering on the legislative
ticket. The following named candidates
for the legislature are known. beyond
doubt to favor such remedial measures
as are necessary for our welfare, viz:
r. M. Cunningham, for the senate; J.
J. Altman, S. C. Davidson, d. W. Hous-
ton. John M. Huey, Samuel VIII john,
A. j. O'Keefe, for the house of represent
atives.
If all parties interested in having
passed such legislation as is necessary
for the welfare of the merchants, bust
ness men and wage earners will unite
upon the above named candidates and
use their influence for them they will be
elected by a great majority 3.
Let us do what we can, from sunrise to
shutdown, for the above ticket and John

within the meaning of the constitution
with which the charter provision is in
consistent y
This view of the case renders it un-
necessary to consider in detail the real
status of the act of February 49, 1897
supra. We will mention some of the
difficulties which pertain to this statute
1t purports to amend section 1879 of the
code of Alabama Section 499 of the
code, amended thereby, is to. be found
only in the code of 1875. Many of the pro-
visions of the chapter in which section
499 of the code is to be found had been
superseded and repealed by the SUISSE
quent acts of the Legislature at the time
of the adoption of the act of February
Is, 1887, supra, amending section 499 of
the code of 1876. Acts of 1SS4-5, p. p. 2-23,
20. Section 499 of the code of 1876 was
never carried forward into the code of
1886.
We deem it unnecessary to pursue the
discussion further. The act of the legis-
lature comforting the authority upon the
city of Birmingham to impose a license
tax is not obnoxious to any provision of
the constitution.

firmed.

This dog is called Gyp, and he lives

his mouth and shows two rows OF fine
teeth. Gyp has other qualities that de-

liking for malt liquors, and frequently
gets drunk on beer, at which time, how
ever, he does not attempt to play the
