SLUGGISH BLOOD,
The Cause of Much, Perhaps Most ILL
HeaIth-HoVv to Keep 1t Clear
ana Circulating.

There is one thing that is admitted by
everybody, that the blood must be kept
moving if the brain is to be clear and the
health good. No one ever questions this,
and yet how few people have good circula-
ton. Sometimes the pulse seems to be
running away, and again it can hardly be
felt. This is all wrong. Any man or wo-
man who wishes health (and who does not)
must have an even and good circulation
of the blood.
There is only one way by which this can
be accomplished, and that is by the use
of pure stimulant. MOI an ordinary one,
but something pure, palatable and reliable.
Such, in the highest degree, is Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey, and such it has been
proven to be for a score of years. 1t is the
most popular stimulant in the world, and
it owes its popularity wholly to its merit
Care should be taken to see that Duffy s
and only Duhy's is used
Insist upon having your druggist or gro
Ger give you what you ask for There are
all the health-giVing qualities in Duffy's
Pure Malt, and you will certainly find it
SO upon trial.

CANAL TO WARRIOR RIVER.
Government Engineer to Report the
Project FensibIe

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 12.-Engineer Jo-
seph Ripley of the government corps, who
has been in charge of the survey of the
route of the proposed canal from North
lake, near this city to the Warrior river
above Tuscaloosa, has finally finished his
work, so far as the actual survey is con-
cerned, and has opened an office in the
government building here, and will to-mor-
row begin preparing the estimates and
plans of the canal. 1t will require about
six months to do this, after which the
matter will all be submitted TO the Secre-
tary of War, under whose direction the
survey has been made.
Mr. Ripley has given out nothing yet,
but it is understood that he will report
the project feasible. The scheme is to
build the canal along Village creek, from
North lake, a distance of a little more
than thirty miles. IT is to be used as a
water route for Alabama coal and iron
to the Gulf. But before any further eff
fort is made to get the government to
undertake the construction, attention will
be given by Alabama congressman to OBJ
tanning an appropriation of 100000 for
improving the Warrior river from the point
where it is proposed that the canal shall
connect with it southwark, to where the
previous improvement work left off. A
river and harbor convention is to be held
al Tuscaloosa during the latter part of
this month. 1t Will be attended by the en-
tire Alabama congressional delegation and
representatives from every commercial
body in the state, at which plan will be
formulated for the work of improving Al
abamas rivers and harbors through gov
eminent aid and policy outlined as to the
building of the Warrior canal.

encourage many more good citizens to
take part therein We the undersigned,

ering as far as possible the precise defects
in the various systems which now obtain
