 Of Mrs. Frank '. Anderson

Yesterday afternoon at 2:3O o'clock Mrs. Frank Y. Anderson gave a beautiful and delightful luncheon to number of her friends.

Asparagus fern trailed over the table and in its graceful curves were caught American Beauty roses.

New Shirt Waists for
 The C0minu Sprlnu

It is already time to talk of what the new shirt waists will be like, because the manufacturers and the tailors always work one season ahead of time, and have just completed their stock for the spring trade. All the smartest of these little bodices are made of checked gingham, and there is scarcely an exception to the rule in favor of tucked bosoms. There is no monotony in the tucking, however. One pretty pale blue waist will have fifteen fine tucks, forming on either side in front a pointed yoke, thus throwing considerable fullness over the bust. Another bosom is tucked in diamond shape, another laid in perpendicular plaits, wide or narrow, and then we have change in the arrangement of the buttons. Studs will be little used, for down the front clusters of three or five tiny pearl buttons are, at intervals. sewed on very close together. These prop erly do not hold the fronts of the shirt together at all; serviceable underband does that, while the pearl knobs are for decoration purely.
 In case anybody is desirous of asking the question, 1t may as well be affirmed here that shirt fronts will pouch just a wee bit: that on many . sensible shirt the

 Asking.
ALLAN,
 Principal.

A Valuable Little Book Sent Free for the Asking. Medical books are not always interest ing reading, especially to people enjoying good health, but as matter of fact scare ly one person in ten is perfectly healthy and even with such, sooner or later sickness must come.
 It is also well established truth that nine -tenths of all diseases originate with a breaking down of the digestion, a weak stomach weakens and impoverishes the sys- tenn, making it easy for disease to gain a foothold.
 Nobody need fear consumption, kidney disease, liver trouble or weak heart and nervous system as long as the digestion is good and the stomach able to assimilate plenty of wholesome food.
 Stomach weakness shows itself in score of ways and this little book describes the symptoms and causes and points the way to cure so simple that anyone can under- stand and apply.
 Thousands have some form of stomach trouble and do not know it. They ascribe the headaches, the 1anguor, nervousness, insomnia, palpitation, constipation and similar symptoms to some other cause than the true one. Get your digestion on the right track and the heart trouble, lung trouble, liver disease or nervous debility will rapidly disappear.
 This little book treats entirely on the cause and removal of indigestion and It's accompanying annoyances.
 It describes the symptoms of Acid Dys- pepsia, Nervous Dyspepsia, Slow Dyspep- sia, Amylaceous Dyspepsia. Catarrh of the Stomach and all affections of the digestive organs in plain language easily understood and the cause removed.
 It gives valuable suggestions as to diet and contains table giving length of time required to digest various articles of food something every person with weak diges- ton should know. No price is asked, but simply send your name and address plainly written on postal card to the F. A. Stuart Co.,, Marshall. Mich, requesting a little book on Stomach Diseases and 1t will be sent promptly by return mail. 2-2-4-6 and W.

Southern Express Company
 And the Highlands

The following letter Is self-explanatory;
 South Highlands, Feb. 2, 1898. My Dear Mrs. Ball. I have seen nothing fin your columns lately regarding the south- ern Express company. Have you given up the fight? Don't do it; you can command my time and energies in any way that | can serve this righteous cause. l doubt not every man on the Highlands-North and South-are ready to contribute towards the success of securing express delivery in every part of the city.
 If all other efforts fail, cannot the muni- cipal authorities require that the express company keep it's faith to the people when it receives. paymnt for packages, which presupposes delivery at the residence or consigned?
 The express rates in this section are suf- ficently exorbitant for the people to de- mand all the privileges granted in other localities.
 Let's have an express delivery that de- flyers, and don't let The Age-Herald give up the fight. The whole city Is interested in this matter. The arbitrary conduct of the local express office merits the condem- nation of the entire community.
 Respectfully yours,
 R. M G. It is appropriate to state just here that a courteous note was sent from The Age Herald office two or three weeks ago. to the local agent of the Southern Express com pany, calling attention to he demands of the people for delivery of packages at the residences within the city limits, and re- questing that some expression on the sub- ject be given by the agent Thus far no reply has been received to this letter and the natural inference drawn from the si- lence of the agent in charge of the office at Birmingham is not entirely compliment ary to that official. A letter will be sent to the Route Agent, Mir. w. c. Agee, who will doubtless reply promptly and cour- teously, whether granting the demands of the citizens or not.

This goblin has some weird connection with rates. In fact, it evolved from rat and grew into terrible specter eight feet high, with flaming eyes and fiery tongue Its tail is longer than its body, and its talons are like those of an eagle. The do- mestic animals set up a howl when the specter wanders forth for his nocturnal stroll and contriye to make night more hideous. A number of people have heard of this specimen, but only two have seen him.
