REV ARD OF MERIT
A New Catarrh Cure Secures National
 Popularity in Less Than One Year

Throughout great nation of eighty million it is a great struggle to secure even a recognition for a new article, to say nothing of achieving popular favor, and yet within one year Sturats Catarrh Tablets, the new catarrh cure, has met with such success that today it can be found in every drug store throughout the United States and Canada.
 To be sure a large amount of advertising was necessary in the first instance to bring the remedy to the attention of the public but every one familiar with the subject knows that advertising alone never made any article permanently successful. It must have in addition absolute, undeniabe merit, and this the new catarrh cure cer-. tainly possesses in a marked degree.
 Physicians, who formely depended upon inhalers sprays and local washes or oint- ments now use Stuart's Catarrh Tablets be- cause, as one of the most prominent stated, these tablets contain in pleasant, conven- tent form all the really efficient catarrh remedies, such as red gum, Guaacol, Eu- calyptol, and Sanguinaria.
 They contain no cocaine nor opiate, and are given to little children with entire safe ty and benefit
 Dr. J. J. Reitiger of Covington, Ky. says: I suffered from catarrh in my head and throat every fall with stoppage of the nose and irritation in the throat affecting my voice and often extending to the stom-
  bought a fifty cent package of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets at my druggists, carried them in my pocket and used them faith fully, and the way in which they cleared my head and throat was certainly remark able I had no catarrh last winter and spring and consider myself entirely free from any catarrhal trouble.
 Mrs. Jerome Ellison of Wheeling, W. Va, writes: I suffered from catarrh nearly my whole life and last winter my two cht., dren also suffered from catarrhal coi6s and sore throat. so much they were out of school a large portion of the winter. My brother who was cured of catarrhal deaf ness by using Stuarts CataTrh Tablets urged me to try them so much that tif so and am truly thankful for what they have done for myself and my children I always keep a box of the tablets in the house, and at the first appearance of a cold or sore throat we nip it in the bud and catarrh Is no longer a household affliction with us.
 Full size packages of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold for 50 cents at all drug gists.

WATER WORKS CONTRACT

Ensley, October A-(Special.)-Th Ems ley Board of Trade met at the regular hour in their hall last night. A report was made by the committee which was ap- pointed at the last meeting to investigate and report upon the proposed Birmingham Water Works Company contract, and after careful examination 1t was decided to report favorably to it's adoption by the city; and further, to recommend to the Board of Aldermen of Ensley that ten plugs be so placed as to secure protection to the residence portion of the city. The committee recommends the closing of the proposed contract with the Birmingham Water Works Company, provided the Board of Aldermen are not in position to contract for a supply of water to be fur nished at an earlier date than that ob- tained by this proposition There was very large attendance at the meeting, and this report was adopted without a dissent ing vote. It is not unlikely that the mat ter will be handled promptly by the Board of Aldermen and arrangements made by which the city of Ensley will get a good supply of water without depriving any of her manufacturing interests.
 The Board of Trade decided to hold semi monthly meetings hereafter, converting on the second and fourth Tuesday nights in each month. Their board of directors will hold regular meetings on the first and third Tuesday nights. A special commit tee composed of five members was ap- pointed to look into the matter of nicely nttlng up the rooms and supplying peri odicals, papers and such literature as may be desired from time to time The follow ing were named for this committees: H. Broda, F. L. Woodruff, D. M Perkins, c. H. Mandy and R. S. England.
 About $40 this evening a great deal of excitement was aroused by the rapid, short blasts of the large whistles of the Semet- Solvay Company. About two hundred or more people rushed to the ammonia plant expecting to find it on fire Upon investigation, however, it was found that the officials were simply practicing the men in their respective duties when fire alarm is turned on. It will be remembered that this plant was almost demolished by fire something over year ago and every pre- caution is now being taken to prevent it's recurrence.
 The steel plant has receitly made a ship ment to two thousand tons of steel to Glas- gow, Scotland, via the Kansas City, Mem phis and Birmingham, Illinois Central and New Orleans.
 The steel casting plant has received an order from the United tSates government for large number of ballast balls for the use of light house tenders at Havana, Cuba.
