Balance of Course at Seals Hall Miss
 Benfey Tuesday Night

The remaining entertainments of the Ly ceum course will occur at Seals hall. The membership did not grow large enough to justify continuing at the opera house, which costs four times as much as Seals hall. The membership will about comfor- tably fill Seals hall if all turn out, but as a percentage of regular members in such a large body are invariably absent, there will be a few seats sold to non-members There will be no advance reservation of seats, but the doors will open at 7:3O o'clock and entertainments will commence at 8, and in this half hour the members and non- members will select their seats as they come Members will show. their season cards at the door. and non-members will hand their tickts to the doorkeeper.
 The next entertainment will take place next Tuesday night by Miss Ida Benfey, of New York, the beautiful woman who was in the course last season, whom the Age Herald spoke of as a genius. She tells the story and interprets the spirit of great novels in one evening. Last season her theme was the growth of the soul of Jean Vatican in 'Les Miserables;' this time it will be the "Tale of Two Cities" with Sid ney Carton and Lucy Manette.
 The admission will be 50 cents to non- members. The next after Miss Benfey will be Alexander Black with his picture play Miss Jerry" January g.

LOST THE TASTE
For Ordinary Coffee

Tt is strange how people will try to in- vent some cause for their feeling bad, rath- CT than to charge the trouble to some habit they may have that they have good reason to believe is the real cause. For instance all the time that we were using coffee on our table 1 was subject to occasional terri ble headaches, and my husband was half sick with nervous troubles.
 We felt satisfied that coffee was the cause, but were afraid we wouldn't like Postum Cereal Coffee, and therefore tried in every way to think that something In the food, or some other reason, was the real cause of our troubles After reading -sev- eral articles in regard to the evil effects of coffee drinking, and the merits of Pos tum Food Coffee, l became convinced of the truth of the statements. and called my husbands attention to them.
 'He was skeptical on the subject but to please me, said we would give Postum a trial so he procured package and l made 1t, but the milk we were using was of the kind that produced little cream, and that dd not give us as good beverage as we found afterwards could be secured with cream. However. in spite of the drawback we grew to like the Postum Food Coffee and both of us found ourselves greatly benefited by the change. My head ceased to trouble me entirely, and my husband was practically made over.
 "We were out of the Postum for time, and having coffee in the house and feel ing so much better, we concluded to try the coffee again, but in few days my head aches came back so that we became sat!s fled where the real trouble existed. We used Postum for quite long time, and still having some coffee in the house. tried cof- fee again. Imagine our surprise in discov- ering that we no longer cared for the taste of the ordinary coffee, the next morn ing we had rare treat, in a cup of piping hot delicious Postum.
 "Coffee is no longer kept dn our house. Our children are very fond of It. and we give them as much as they want to drink. without fearing to injure their health. find that it enables me to furnish baby with a more abundant supply of milk than I could otherwise do. Postum Cereal Food Coffee has indeed been a great boon to our famalv." Mrs. Mary Wade, Saybrook, o.

An Open Letter tothe Press

As Secretary of the Alabama State Fair Association MT. J. A. RounIree has issued the following card, addressed to the press of Alabama:
 As secretary of the Alabama State Far and Agricultural Association I have been critisized for issuing warrants for adver- using bills I desire to state that the board of directors met and discussed the in- debtedness of the association. and after consulting with it's attorney resolution, was passed instruCting the secretary to issue warrants to all undasputed creditors, so that they would be protected first in settling up the affairs of the association. As soon as this resolution was adopted I moved lJhat warrant to the amount or $5s5.95 due the weekly press of the state be issued, so that they would be protected, in othr words become preferred creditors, if we could make them such. regret very much that the financial conditions or the association are such that these bills cannot be paid promptly and in cash.
 The fair played in bad luck with boy cott, moral crusade and many other ob- stacles in the way. l assure the brethren of the press that if it was in my power. that I would protect them first of all cred itprs, from the fact that they did more than any other agency for it's upbuilding.

Packages of Autographs and posters were sent to all of these agents (through the courtesy of the Southern Express company to be hung in depots and other public places. ! This advertising was especially effective. Quite a great deal of bill posting was done Coy meana of arrangements with our local bill poster, who sent a man over the various roads entering Birmingham. In this way all adjacent cities and towns were thor oughly billed
 Another effective means of advertising was conducted through the mails. The names of over 1000 of the leading farmers, stock raisers and merchants were secured, ard the most attractive advertising matter that could be designed sent directly to these men. The literature going to these men gave splendid results. Throughout the entire season a news letter. was mailed weekly to the state press. This sheet contained short articles and items of news regarding the fair. The news thus supplied the weekly was literally used and undoubtedly accomplished great benefit, and we are under debt of gratitude to the weekly press for this work. l desire to especially compliment The Daily Age Herald, Daily News and Daily Ledger for the liberal space which they gave to the enterprise. I do not think that any fair 5n any section of the country had finer news service. The articles which appeare from day to day were written in such a manner as to be interesting and were widely read.

Premiums and Appropriations

On August 9, at a regular meeting of the board of directors a resolution was passed appropriating 5000 for premiums in the different departments, and offer as liberal premiums possible. This I did, after consulting with the different superintend- ents. which is shown in the printed pre- mium list. At said meeting a resolution was also adopted unanimously authorizing the advertising committee to spend at least $500 among weekly newspapers of the state By instructions of said committee I made | contracts with IA weeklies of the state, and we are still due them $5S5.95. I recom- mend that if any creditors can be made preferred, that they be paid first, from the fact that they gave their space and in fiuence more lfberally than any other agen- cy for the success of the fair.
