"I am cured of the grip but I do not feel well.
 This expression is heard constantly. Per haps you, reader, have heard it and pos sibly you have made it yourself. It is a sad fact, but fact none the less, that while the grip is had enough and ,lepres- sing enough when in its acute form. 1t is Oiee.l WoIsc MI4eA Il set.ies III solne pal of the body and continues to destroy the health and ruin the life. Doctor Lom- bard, in speaking on this subject recently said:
 Tt is a we'll known fact, admitted by all doctors, that grip does settle in the body and bring distressing effects long after it is apparently cured. But the doc tors do not always say just where it us- ually settles. It should be clearly under stood, then, that the spots which grip com- monly selects are the kidneys and urinary organs. It is quite natural that it should do so for these are the very organs that are overworked in trying to drive the grip out of the system and. naturally, being overworked they are weakened and be- come an easy prey for disease"
 "When these delicate but most import ant organs are attacked in their weakened condition, they cannot throw the grip from the system without help-good belp--strong help-reliable help. But, you ask where can such assistance be secured? The ques- tion is not an easy one. Many things will help the kidneys, urinary and female or gans temporarily, but 1t is not temporary help that they need. They require some thire e'~~rr 4n-eottir@ tint will sei-n the grip and cast It out forever. Ordinary lAv..4I.4.ss ,.ia accomplish this. It requires a scientific discovery-something out of the ordinary-something that can be depended upon absolutely. There is, so far as we know so far as the scientific world knows, but one remedy that fills this requirement. That remedy is Warmers Safe Cure. It was the most potent factor in conquering the grip in Europe, and it has been the only remedy that has suc- cessfuly removed it's after-effects in Amer ica. Rev. pr. Rankin, president of How ard University, Washington, D. C., says concerning this:
 'I know of persons who have been per- manently cured of diseases of the kidneys and adjacent organs by the use of War used in similar cases by physicians of the highest standing. This great remedy I wish, in the cause of humanity, to recom- mend"
 Any man or woman who is conversant with the advance of science, or the pro- gress of the world must know that this great discovery stands on a high plane of it's own. far above all ordinary medi cines, "remedies' or "cures!' It accom- plishes what no other medicine ever has accomplished or can accomplish. It cures people, and. more than all else. 1t removes the terrible after-effects which the grip has in hundreds of cases loaded upon the weakened frames of so many men and women.

LUNACY BOARD EXTINCT.
The Act Creating It Omitted From the
 Code.
Special to The Age-Herald.

SpeC1al 10 me AE6-fteIdIQ.
 Montgomery Feb 1.-The acts of 1sS8-e9 created commission of lunacy consisting of three members. The purpose of the commission was to provide way by which criminal insane persons confined in the in- sane hospital might be liberated. They investigated cases of this sort and report ed to the governor on whose approval the inmate was turned loose. The present commission Is composed of Judge w. G. Cochrane, Dr. J. L. Fant and pr. N. P. Marlowe. They meet occasionally and get s6 per day each. number of criminal in- sane have been released on their recom- mendation, Charles Meyer, of Jefferson county, being one of the last.
 Copies of the new code at hand reveal the fact that the portion of the lunacy act creating this commission is omitted. This abolshes the commission altogether and on February IT, when the code goes into eff feet the commission will cease to exist.
 Code Commissioner Martin says acting under the impression that the act had never been put in force and no commission ever appointed, he left it out and so noted in his report to the legislature. His oInis- sion was ratified by the code commit tee and by the general assembly.

PICTURE AGENTS HARD LUCK.
College Students and City Marshal Give Him
 His Walking Papers,
Special to The Age-Herald,


 Florence, Ala, Feb. "A party of half a score or more young gentlemen students of the State Normal college, Thursday night, formed themselves into a vigilance society, and, with the assiYance of Chief of Police Lipscomb marched c. A. Byrd, picture concern agent, to the edge Of the city and sent him out of town, with instruc- tions never to enter Florence again.
 Byrd has been here for several days rep resenting the Chicago Portrait company, taking orders for enlarging pictures and on Thursday became so bold as to use in- suting and offensive language to num- Der of ladies of the city.
 One of the ladies had as boarders a num- Der of college students, and they, hearing of the course Byrd was pursuing, hunted him up Thursday night, marched him down to the city, called City Marshal Lipscomb from a meeting of the city council and gave him his walking papers and fair warn- ing. Byrd is a rather handsome man, of about 8 or 3S years of age, and wears a 1uii black beard

 ALLEGED CRIME GaVe Mrs. Key Some Medicine and She
 Died in Two Hours. II REQUIRED TEN HOURS To Revive a Child After Taking a Dose
 Of the SamgStuii. HE IS IN JAIL AT MOULTON While His Connection is Being Analysed By the State Chemist-Has Young e Wife Who He Married
 at Goodwater.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Moulton, Ala, Feb. 7.-Dr Charles Don- aldson, a patent medicine falxir by pro- fession, and who claims to be a painter by trade, is in jail here charged with the mur- der of the wife of J. D. Key.
 Last Thursday he gave Mrs Key a dose of medicine and in less than two hours the lady was dead. Color is given to this case by the fact that previously he gave a dose of his alleged medicine to a child, who at once sank into stupor and it took the combined efforts of physicians and nurse ten hours to revive it.
 Had Young Wife
 Donaldson claims that the medicine ad- ministered is made from herbs and he has been making and selling it for twenty years, having disposed of much of it in East Alabama. A quantity of his medicine has been sent to the state chemist and the 'yerb doctor'' will remain in jail awaiting developments.
 pr. Donaldson is about 50 years of age, and came to Moulton in one-horse bug gy accompanied by a lady of IS years, whom he calls his wife. He says he mar ried the girl about eight months ago in Goodwater, Ala, and that she has father, who is a carpenter, and a brother, who is a painter, living there. When the pair first arrived here they had spent night in thicket in the edge of town and said they were en route to Florence. The uni- versal verdict is that there is something strange connected with the couple.
 Known at Goodwater
 Goodwater, Ala, Feb. 7.-Dr. Charles Donaldson came to this place during March, 1S97 He was engaged in painting and pedding a linament and smelling bot tie of his own manufacture He was mar ried to Miss Miller here in May and left during the latter part of November. No one knew from whence he came and while possessing an air of mystery, he was while here quiet and law abiding.

CAKE WALK is FRENCH.
When 1t Originated, 1t Also stood For a
Marriage Ceremony.

When 1t Originated, 1t Also Stood For a
Marriage Ceremony.
The cake walk properly had its origin
among the French negroes Of Louisiana
more than a century ago. There is lit
tie doubt that it is an ofTshoot of some
of the old French country dances. 1t re-
semblcs several Of them in form. From
New Orleans it spread over the entire
south and thence north. 1t was found Of
convenience to the plantation negroes.
They were not welded by license, and
it was seldom that the services of a
preacher were called in.
At cake walk man might legiti-
mately show his preference for a wom-
an and thus publicly claim her for a
wife. In effect the cake walk was not
different from the old Scotch marriage,
which required only public acknowledge
ment from the contracting parties So
this festival became in some sense a
wooing, an acceptance or rejection and
a ceremony This explains its popular
ity with the blacks, outside of its beau
ties, with tho accompaniment of mu-
sic, which is competent at all times to
command negro support.
Cake walking has improved, as do
most things that are constantly practic-
ed. 1t has lost its old significance in the
south. Negroes now get married, when
they marry at all, in the white folks
fashion. 1t has, however. become a pan
tomime dance. Properly performed, it
is beautiful one. The cake is not much
of prize, though the negro has a sweet
