His Friends Give Him a Grand
Banquet
AND ROAST THE GOVERNOR
Johuston's Treachery to an Old Friend
Denounced Around Festive Board
Tomlinson in Good Humor
Tells Good Stories.
AND ROAST THE GOVERNOR

Hon. John w. Tomlinson was entertained
at banquet last night by members of the
Bimetaliic club and other friends. The
feast took place in the Red room OF the
Morris. John C. Pugh, president of the
Bimetallic club, presided. and e. w. Bar
rett occupied the presidents chair.
The banquet hall was filled with conspic-
uous representatives of the business and
professional interests OF Birmingham, to-
gether with men prominent in politics,
whether they were in business or the pro-
LESSONS. Amongst them were a number
of Governor Johnston's appointees.
The affair, though private in the sense
that reporters were not present, was
public tribute to Mr.. Tomlinson. Many
speeches were made, and they were as
one speech in denouncing the governors
action towards Mr.. Tomlinson and his alb
solute disregard of the wishes and well
fare of the people OF Jefferson county.
The people of Jefferson county, which
has immeasureably greater mileage OF
railroad than any other ten counties of the
state, and asked the governor, himself

linson a member of the railroad commits

of his own county and had gone elsewhere
for railroad commissioners, with the pur-
pose of boosting himself into the United
States senate In the place of the illustrious
Morgan.
Governor Johnston had abused the con-
fidence of an old and faithful political and
personal friend in the vain attempt to pave
his way to the senate.
Many speeches were made, and all OF
them were of the most resentful nature.
Johnston, they said, had given up all hope
of votes from Jefferson to promote his SEN
atorial aspirations, and had. therefore. in
suited Jefferson by disregarding its ex-
pressed desire respecting Mr. Tomlinson.
The greatest railroad county in the south,
and one of the greatest in America, had
been scorned and spurned by Governor
Johnston in the vain hope of promoting his
own senatorial interests.
The greatest good humor prevailed ex-
cept as to the Governor who Betrayed. For
him there was no word of good @ill or even
anything short of bitter resentment.
At the conclusion of the general speeches
there were loud calls for Mr.. Tomlinson,
who, on rising, was greeted with the ut
most enthusiasm.
In characteristic good humor, with now
and then display of keen and incisive
irony, Mr.. Tomlinson addressed his friends.
He had his story to tell and 1t was at times
positively thrilling; at others intensely hu-
morous. From the outset he captured the
audience, and held them in the hands of
supreme interest.
1t was a time of great political interest.
It was the real beginning of the fight
against Joe Johnstonism in Jefferson coun-
ty, of which ism this county is sickened.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
DO Not Re Alarmed. But Look FOR tas
Cause.

Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among the Amer
leans. are certainly increasing, and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life, it
is more often the result of weak stom-
achs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but not
one case in a hundred of heart trouble is
organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is effected
by the form of poor digestion, which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food. There is a feeling of oppression and
heav.ness in the chest caused by pressure
of the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which initiates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble Is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food
This can be done by the regular use after
meals of some safe, pleasant and effective
digestive preparation. like Stuarts Dyspep-
STA Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores, and which contain valuable,
harmless digestive elements in pleasant.
convenient form.
1t Is safe to say that the regular persist
ent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal times will cure any form of stomach
trouble except cancer Of the stomach.
Full sized package Of these tablets sold
by druggists at 80 cents. Little book on
stomach troubles mailed free. Addrss 3.

Care of the Hands.

NAre OF the HANGS.
A little time to make the hands beau
tiful need not be grudged even by the
busiest woman, when it is said that
beautiful hands are worthy instru-
ments Of beautiful acts. The soft,
moist skin that makes the touch of a
woman's hand so soothing to the fe-
vered brow, so inspiriting to the tired,
nerveless hand which 1t clasps. cannot
be obtained or preserved without due
observance of hygienic laws and devo-
ton to cosmetics. Excessive heat or
cold are not only as destructive to the
beauty of the hands as to the beauty OF
the face, but If long continued they
may so affect the network of the nerves
as 10 mar the delicacy of the touch. In
washing the hands the temperature of
the water should be made a matter Of
care, and tepid water only should be
used. Care should be taken to dry the
hands thoroughly before exposing to
the air. AS the wind and sun roughen
and discolor the hands, gloves should
always be worn. The best gloves are
made of dogskin, which has the prop
erty of softening the skin Of the hand
and keeping it in good condition. Next
to good homemade soap, pure CASTLE
is the best for washing the hands.
The hands should be thoroughly wash
ed with soap and tepid water, rinsed
and then soaped again and rubbed I'M
til the soap on them forms lather,
after which they are to be dried with
out again rinsing. They should then
be lightly wiped with a soft towel
moistened with some aromatic toilet
water This treatment will keep the
skin fine and white. The yolk OF a
fresh egg, almond and chestnut meal
oatmeal and bran, are all useful for
whitening and refining the skin of the
hands, The following recipe for the
same purpose is a good one: Sweet
almond oil, 60 grains; virgin wax, II
grains; spermaceti, II grains. Heat
these substances in a water bath in
three separate vessels. When hot, pour
all into a cold vessel and beat thor
oughly. Then put the mixture into a

as follows: Two yolks of fresh eggs
two tablespoonfuls of oil of sweet al
nonds, 80 grams of rose water, eight
grams tincture of benzoin. Beat yolks
with the OIL then add the rose water
and lastly the tineture of benzoin.

Boiling is not the only method avail

wholesome and good by stewing, and
firmer, tougher kinds will be good

cucumbers and squashes, are very good
