SENSIBLE TEMPERANCE,
A Word to Temperance Ladies.

It is universally admitted that temper ance women work for their cause 7--.....z desire to make Nfe happier; that is, intem- perance in drink causes an immense amount of misery in human life, and the temperance movement is an effort to replace this misery with happiness, peace, and comfort
 Many temperance women make the mis- take of going at the subject hammer and tongs and proposing to force people to be- lieVe their way. It is far better to exercise a broad charity and take the position that ones own peace of mind and happiness, not only of the individual, but of the fam fly and friends, depends upon sensible habits of life.
 A very much greater foe to human hap pness, than whisky, exists, and 1t will startle many an honest temperance worker when the name of that foe Is given. It is spelled c-o-f-f-e-e. q don't believe it." some ardent temperance worker says, who is really slave herself to the coffee cup.
 Cast your thought among your sick friends, nervous, irritable, broken down womens whose homes are anything but peaceful homes, because of the irritation and friction brought about by their physi- cal and mental condition. In ninety-five cases out of a hundred the nervousness, irritability, dyspepsia, kidney trouble, 1fe- male troubles, and various diseases which such people are subject to, come directly from broken down nervous system, brought about by the daily use of coffee, Careful chemical analysis proves this state ment to be absolutely true, and personal experiment will prove the same to any one who cares to make 1t. t1
 You may have few friends who are made miserable by whisky, but you have scores of friends whose lives are made mis- erable, as well as the lives of their fam flies, by the use of coffee. Hard to believe, isn't 1t? Many of the most profound truths are not accepted by humanity when first brought to humanity's attention, but they are truths nevertheless.
 Try for yourself, reader. Leave off cof- fee altogether and start in with Postum Food Coffee, which can be obtained at any first-class grocery store. You will find within ten days an improvement in the sum total of happiness for yourself and for your friends about you. Life will take on a new aspect; strength, vigor and vitality will begin to come back for your use. You can do things that you have heretofore been unequal to. You can accomplish something in this world, and you can quietly and without ostentation become a most efficient worker in securing to humanity that peace, content, and happiness that we are all seek ing.

LOCAL STOCKS.
Large Transactions at Good Figures A This Week.

While the local stock market is free from exciting features there is considerable trading. This is especially true with re- gard to bank stocks. Between two and three hundred shares of bank stocks have changed hands in the past few days at prices not far below asked figures as they appear quoted in the Age-Heralds market columns. Alabama National has been a particularly brisk seller.
 : There has been some buying of land and Improvement stocks but the transactions have not been large. H. E. Wilson, the broker, says that the difference between now and a month or two ago Is that land company shares will now bring something whereas few weeks ago it was almost impossible to sell them at any price.
