The DRINK oFDRINKs.
Sparkling Kolafra Is. X serves all
the ends of o light beverage perfectly.
Among drinks it is what the American
Beauty rose is among flowers. 1t pleases
the senses and quenches thirst as moth
ing else will. 1t is absolutely non-in-
toxicating and yet it is stimulating. Its
stimulation is, however, peculiar to
itself. 1t is akin to that of coffee, yet
decidedly different-more agreeable
aud prolonged producing none of the
harmful effects of tea or coffee.
S. X. is delightful and healthful,
giving a sense of we'll being not deriv,
able from any other drink.
1t should be served ice cold.
THIRST RELIEVING QUALITIES.
Sparkling Kolafra allays thirst with
much less fluid than any other drink
not excepting water. This is very
important consideration in hot weather
when because ordinary drinks have
but momentary effecD the tendency
ia to imbibe too much huid-a custom
which produces an unplea' ant sensa'
tion in the stomach and interferes with
the digestion. For this reason one
glass of S. K. does more good than halt
dozen of almost any other beverage.
The effect stays with you. You have
"longer time between drinks" the
throat and mouth remaining cool and
moist during the interval. This quality
alone gives a distinguishing character
to Sparkling Kolafra.
1t also vitali2es and e1hilarates,
counteracting the sense of lsssitude and
depression incident to the heated term.
Briefly, Sparkling Kolafra possesses
distinct properties which are easily re-
cogpizable on trial, and commend it as
something especial and excellent among
the world of drinks.
~"S. K" is never drawn from soda
fountains. Sold only in bottles.

 The bodies are in almost perfect condi- ton, and were mummified by that effi- cient and genial gentleman, Mir. Will Leslie, who is connected with the above firm.
 Joe Brohend was a veritable freak of nature He was born in Texas, raised in Mexico and murdered near Uniontown, Ala, in February, 1896. When first brought to Birmingham his body attract ed a good deal of attention on account of its peculiar appearance.
 The other two bodies were those of Lee Harris and Abe Mitchell, two desperate negro criminals. who were hung for the murder of an old man named Merrf- weather, on Twenty-fourth street near the Kansas City. Memphis and Birming- ham railroad, some years ago. They were also implicated in several other crimes, and made a confession admitting two other murders and several highway robberies.
 Their case caused a great deal of in- terest at the time, and became notable on account of the brilliant and effective detective work of Sergeant J. B. Don elson, of the police force, who was as- sis.ed by Officer Armstrong and others The clue secured by Sergeant Donelson was indeed a very small one, but with per sistent energy and close application to the task he finally landed the two men and furnished such strong chain or evidence against them that they con- fessed their crimes.
 They were hung in the jail yard on June '. 1895. and their bodies turned over to Miller & Co, who had purchased them.
