Meeting of Daughters of
 the American Revolution

The open meeting of General Sumpter chapter Daughters of the American Revo- lution, which was held yesterday after noon at the residence of Mrs. John Davis Dabney was a distinctly notable event of the winter. It was attended by quite a smart assembly, and was marked iby an en- thusiasm tIhat was most encouraging to both the chapter and state regents. Mrs. William G. Estes, the chapter regent, pre- sided.
 Among the notable women present was Mrs. Beach, of Washington, D. C., who is a member of the Continental chapter at the capital, and who spoke most interest ingly of the work of the D. A. R's. The principal discussion at the meeting yester- day was in regard to the fund for the erec- ton of the "Continental hall' that is tc be erected at the national capital. Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, the state regent, made a characteristically eloquent appeal in the interest of the Continental hall fund, ana expressed the desire that Alabama chap

COFFEE HEADACHES
Left When Change Was Made to Postum
 Food Coffee

GAS long as I drank coffee, once every month, regularly, had bilious sick head ache. I had often read in the papers about Postum Food Coffee, but, like lots of peo- ple. thought you were praisng your own goods to sell them.
 .sFinally I asked my husband ts buy me a small package to try. boiled fs not uuite as long as your directions, and did not like it. The next morning made coffee for breakfast and had a sick headache.
 'sTne third morning tried Postum again, boiling it about twenty minutes. Then 1t tasted good, and the longer drank 1t the better liked it. That was about three months ago. We have had Postum ever since, and never in all this time have I had the least kind of a headache or been sick in any way.
 q told a brother-in-1aw of my experience. qIe suffered with bilious headaches, and was threatened with nervous prostration He stopped coffee, and began using Postum Food Coffee, which he did not like at tine first trial, but soon got so he liked 1t very much indeed, when they learned to make 1t right. It has cured him also.

ON THE RACE TRACK.
At New Orleans

New Orleans, January 3.-Clear, cool weather and a fast track were the con- dftions today Compensation and Fleuron were the only winning favorites. The for mer was driven to the limit at the end, and only Clawson's good ride landed the latter. Fred Perkins should have won in the steeple chase but lost ground at the last jump and swerve into the final turn spoiled his chances.
 The new Louisiana Jockey club has an- nounced the principal stake of it's meeting, which runs six days after the close of the Crescent City Jockey clubs winter meet ing. It is the Turf Congress handicap for 3-year-olds and upwards at mile to be run March A.-The New Louisiana Jockey club and the Turf Congress each add $1, 1000 to the value of the stake.

ters would do their part towards contrib uting to this fund, which already amount ed to more than $50,OOO The treasury Of the national society has been depleted by the patriotic work of Daughters during the spanish war, but the extent 10 which their patriotism led them has in no wise de- tered them from the important work of raising funds for the Continental hall Mrs. Smith referred to a letter that she had recently received from Mrs. Manning, the president general of the national so- ciety, in reference to uais fund, and em- phasized the earnestness and the enthusl- asm with which Mcs. Manning was work ing to augment the fund.
 Mrs. Simms, regent from Mississippi. also spoke in reference to the Centennial hall, and discussed the action of congress In the matter of appropriating the location for the building. Mrs. Simms expressed the opinion that the Daughters of the American Revolution need not expect any favor at the hands of congress until the entire amount required in the erection of the hall was raised. When that is accom- piished," she emphasized, "congress will ap- propriate a location, and the Daughters will then have in their Continental hall monu- ment of monuments"
 Mrs. Albert T. Henley, who was in Wash ington at the time this matter was brought before congress, heard the dscuss.on, and she said yesterday that the members of that congress were quite indifferent to this matter of appropriation. This action on the part of congress has not. however, lessened the enthusiasm or patriotism of the members of the national society, and the work of raising funds for their Con tinental hall will continue until their hopes and plans materialize in a glorious monu- ment in the beautiful city by the Potomac.
 The growth and progress of Alabama chapters was dH,elt upon by the state re- gent, and Mrs. Smith expressed the hope that brilliant report of the work could be made at the assembling of the next con- tinental congress. She spoke of the great number of women in Alabama and in Bir- mingham who are eligible to membership but who are apparently indifferent about establishing their claims, and she urged CO., operation and renewed interest in the pa-s triotic work of the Daughters. =
 The programme yesterday included solo by Mrs Solon Jacobs, and a recitation py Mrs. Taylor. The members of General Sumpter chapter will probably give 8 colonial ball before Lent.
