What will be the population of Birming- ham according to the twelfth census is a. question that is now being asked by nearly every person one meets.

If they will send him postal card he will call himself or have one of the enumerators call and get the necessary data, or the questions can be propounded in his office.
 It is important that the name of every person in the city should be on the re- turns of one or the other of the enumera- tors as that is the only way in which a proper population rating can be given the city.
 Remember that tomorrow is the last day of the census taking.

THE STOCK LOSSES
 HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED
Nabers, Morrow & Sinnige's Policies Will Be Paid in Full-Building Loss
 Not Adjusted

At noon yesterday the adjusters who have been at work Investigating the stock losses in the Nabers Morrow & Sinnige firm reached an agreement, by the terms of which the firm will be paid the full face value of its policies, amounting to $S7,5Oo. The loss on the building, which is estimated at about $10,00O is yet to be adjusted.
 The adjusters, w. D. Bingham of Tusca- 1oosa, George w. Rains of this city and R. l.. Palmer of Atlanta, who have been at work on the loss for some days, yesterday agreed on losses to the amount of $42,0O0, or $4,500 more than the face of the policies
 The loss on stock was considerably in ex- cess of these figures, which of course will be borne by the firm.
 It is expected that the loss on the build ing will be adjusted in a few days, when the work of remodeling will begin.
 In the meantime the firm is carrying on its business in it's temporary quarters in Second avenue, but hopes to soon be "at home" again to its friends and patrons.

COFFEE DISEASES.
Minister and Young Lady A Affected

Ministers sometimes find they suffer from the effects of bad habits as well as ordi- nary people. Rev. MT. - of Athens, N Y., had become greatly emaciated from coffee drinking, which produced stomach trouble and all the effects of overwork or poor nourishment.
 He quit the coffee and began drinking Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
 His health began to improve, and he now weighs 151 pounds increase of fifteen pounds over his former weight. This im- provement in health and strength is shown to be due to the use of Postum Food Cof- fee, by the fact that when he stops drink ing Postum-as he has done for an experi- ment-he begins to lose flesh and gets back into his old condition.
 A young lady who writes about the case says that she was formerly suffering great ly from those twin diseases dyspepsia diseases had their origin in the use of coffee, and while I was fully aware of it's injurious effects upon my system I was not willing to give it up, for did not know of anything to take its place.
 "Tea l knew was also injurious, and as for cocoa, it lacked the snap and go which can alone satisfy a coffee drinkers taste. About two years ago I purchased my first box of Postum Food Coffee and quit the use of coffee made Postum according to directions, and found ! had a drink not only equal to coffee, but far superior to it in many ways. Since that time I have used it constantly, and find my general health very much improved and the twin diseases gone. I also send you the names of Rev. and Mrs. - of Athens, N. Y., who have been greatly helped by the use of Postum Food Coffee in the place of ordi- nary coffee"

Continues to Puzzle Best Inform
 ed Men in the Trade.
ALL LOOK TO THE FUTURE
Trading Confined to Small Lots With Prices Still Matter of Indtvid- ual Opinion A Hand
 to Mouth Market

The iron market continues to puzzle the withstanding persistent rumors of breaks and sumps, prices continue to hold up, with quotations for future delivery firm The waiting attitude which has been mani- fest on the part of both producers and con- sumers for some time, continues, with trading confined to small lots.
 In reviewing the market for last week Matthew Addy & Co.,, the well known brokers have the following to say:
 Pig iron makers and pig iron sellers for some months have been theorizing in re- gard to the developments of the future. They have about come to the conclusion now that it is a condition and not a theory that confronts us, and exactly what that condition may be is something of a ques- tion. One thing is certain, and that is, the consumers have stayed out of the market longer than it was supposed would be pos sible at the present time. They are not buying in any large quantity but there is quite little purchasing of carload lots and up to 100 tons. Orders beyond that amount are scarce, although there have been some fair sales of car wheel irons for special work.
 Prices are still matter very largely of individual opinion. As far as we can make out consumption has not been mater ially affected except in certain districts where labor troubles have interfered with trade. In other districts the mills and foundries with but few exceptions are busy, although it is fact they doing business on much lower prices than pre- vailed six months ago. But the situation has so many uncertainties in it and there are many questions which the future alone can clear that it is very difficult to say anything more than to report the &C., tual fact that current trade is exclusively of the hand to mouth variety.

CATHOLIC HOLIDAY
Festival of Corpus Christi-Peter's Pence
 Collection

In the calendar of the Catholic church today is the festival of Corpus Christi-the Thursday after Trinity Sunday. In many cities the day is observed by processions through the streets, a priest carrying the Blessed Sacrament under a Baldacchino; and from temporary repositories along the way the benediction of the Blessed Sacra- ment is given.
 At St. Pauls church in this city there will be only the usual masses-6:30 a. m. and s a. m.
 On Trinity Sunday the collections in the Catholic churches throughout the world are sent to Rome for the support of the Sovereign PontiT These annual collec- tions are called Peter's Pence. They usu- ally aggregate something like $2, 100000, be- tween hundred and fifty and two hun dred thousand dollars being contributed by the Catholics of the United States. Here at St. Paul's church Peters Pence last Sunday amounted to nearly forty dol lars
 In the earlier times Peters Pence was a house tax, levied first in England and af forwards in certain other countries, for the Pope, or for the maintenance of insti- tutions of learning in Rome. This tax was sometimes called Romescot. In this cen tury the Peters Pence collection has been altogether voluntary. As the Catholic population of the world is stated at 230,- OOO 0OO, an average of one cent from those old enough to attend mass would make in round figures the two million dollars that are supposed to reach the vatican from this source.
