STRUCK ' RICH
When I hey Needed It fad

'FWhen a two months old baby refuses to nurse and cannot digest any of the baby foods or cows milk pre5..s e1 i@ different ways, We must dc sonietAing ot lose the baby That was the condition of our little one about a year and a haf ago.
 We tried every baby food On the Faa:- ket, beside the cows milk, but nothing seemed to agree with him. He suffered from indigestion, until by the time he nine months old, he had grown s.> weak and emaciated that we didn't ;nnk .ss could live. At last his stomach refused to take anything, and for three days the little fellow was actually starving for something he could digest.
 "I happened to have box of Grape Nuts in the house and getting teaspoon ful. poured a little hot water over 1t, let ting the food stand a, few minutes then gave the baby the brown water which had the strength of the Grape-Nuts in it. He could take but two spoonsful at a time and then rest while.
 His stomach retained the food and after one days use of the Grape-Nuts in this way, his bowels were right, for the first time in six months. I continued to feed him the water from the Grape-Nuts and a little cream and later on the softened food itself and he steadily improved, his little body and limbs beginning to get round and plump, and by the time he was a year old, he was as large again as when nine months old. At 15 months. he weighed B pounds, and now, at IS months, he is a great fat, jolly baby, climbing and going everywhere, full of fun. rosy cheeks, and bright eyes.
 During all this time his food has been Grape-Nuts; just the water at first, then later on he had the food itself. He is the best advertisement Grape-Nuts could have in this town, for every one knew his condi. tion and no one thought he could possibly live. We give all the praise to this most valuable food, and never lose an opportun- ity to recommend 1t to persons Suffering from indigestion and lack of iourishfnent." Mrs. c. D. Johnston, Greenfield, Ind.
 Actual proof is better than all theory. yet it Is we'll to know that Grape-Nuts food Is made scientifically and made for purpose. The most powerful elements in wheat and barley are. used and so pre- pared as to furnish the human body with those food elements, predigested in na- turAl manner; that is, turned from starch into grape sugar.
 The food Is powerful enough for athletes and easy enough of digestion (as shown by the above experienced for the weakest baba

Demand for Space May Exceed
 the Limits
INTEREST IS PHENOMENAL
Mayor Drennen Elected General Mana ger, MT. Geohegan Having Too Much Labor With Machinery.
 Georgia Military Coming

Alabama State Fair November 1-10.
 The demand for space for exhibits made upon the management of the Alabama Fair Association in the past two or three days has been something phenomenal Nothing like it had been anticipated and it is feared now that there will not be enough space at the disposal of the general manager to accommodate all who apply for it. A good proportion of the requests for space come from women who desire to make displays in the woman's building
 General Manager c. J. Geohegan ten- dered his resignation as general manager yesterday, and Mayor w. M. Drennen was elected to fill the vacancy thus created. MT. Geohegan continues as superintendent of the machinery department The work In connection with the machinery department was so great that one man could not prop erly look after it and discharge the duties of general manager. The board of directors passed a resolution complimenting MT. Geohegan upon the businessike and sys- tematic manner in which he had managed the executive department.
 It is probable that three or four military companies will come from Georgia to par tieipate in the competitive drills on Milf tary Day. Letters were received yesterday from commanders of companies in Atlanta, asking if they would be permitted to enter the contest Col Tom o. Smith, who has charge of the military features replied that they would, and it is probable that at least two companies from Atlanta will come.
 New attractions added within the last two or three days are buggy wheel riders and acrobats. high divers, a burlesque vaudeville, Tasco the snake eater, living pictures, the dancing girl, Oriental show, and others.
 The racing programme will be out in a few days. It is now in the hands of the printer.

SMALL ENGINE
Marvellous Toy Train Will be a Feature
 of the Fair

At the fair grounds will be seen the smallest steam locomotive in the world. It stands perhaps three feet in height from the rails to the top of the trim little smoke stack. With the tender the length is some- thing like eight or ten feet. Every detail of the engine is an exact duplicate of mod ern passenger mogul, except in size.
 The driving wheels, four in number, are about the size of a dinner plate. There are water gauges, water glass, steam gauge, reversing lever and lever-throttle, just the same as in the large locomotives. There is a box of sand to make the drivers take hold on curves and heavy grades, and bell and whistle of the regular pattern.
 The train runs on a regular railway track 1500 feet long set to a gauge of 15 inches. The ties are 2x4 in size. The cars are per haps a dozen in number and carrying two persons each
 A circular has been issued describing the little railway, which is designated as the smallest steam railroad in the world.
 This extensive system will be opened for the transportation of passengers November 1 to 10 Terminal buildings will be located on the grounds of the Alabama State Fair.

JOE SMITH SHOT
 A CATTLE THIEF
Former Sheriff Has an Exciting Experience With a Man
 With a Cow

Former Sheriff Joe Smith yesterday morn- ing shot and probably seriously wounded negro whom he was trying to apprehend for having COW in his possession supposed to have been stolen. The shooting took place near a packing house in the western part of the city.
 When accosted by MT. Smith. the negro, who gave his name as Will Smith, fled MT. Smith attempted to stop him by firing his pistol in the air. The, negro kept on run ming, however, with the former sheriff in close pursuit The race carried the two par tcipants into the mountains, with MT. Smith far in the rear. When the white man reached the foot of the mountain he dlscov- cred pool of blood where the negro had stopped to rest The former sheriff believes that one of the bullets struck the fleeing negro in the side. After keeping up the chase for two miles Mir Smith was so ex- hausted that he had to stop. and the negyo escaped across the mountain.
 The negro was first seen with the COW near Cleveland, where he met MT. Smith and tried to sell the animal. The former sheriff showed an inclination to trade, and the COW was driven to his stable He then insisted that the negro accompany him to OXmoor, where 1t was claimed the animal, which was a fine Jersey, was raised. After going some distance the negro slipped away and returned to the stable and took the COW away. Mir. Smith returned home, and sad ding his horse, started out to find the man whom he believed to be a cattle thief. He overlook him near the packing house, and when the negro refused to return with the COW the shooting occurred.

Pop,ar Star new Comeny

Charles B. Hanford's reputation as an ac- tor lends dignified interest to everything he undertakes. The announcement that he is to produce new comedy drama was hailed with surprise, for he has so long been as- soctated with the classic drama that thought of his appearing in conventional garb and delivering speeches in the simple language of today never occurred to any of. his admirers who have each season as- sembied to witness his performances. Yet there is no reason why MT. Hanford should not play hero of today for the great charm of his work in the past has rested on his magnificent gift for humanizing the most stilted characters of classic fiction, so that the auditor might instantly enter into sympathy with their moods and pas slons The new play which he has secured this season, and which he is to produce at the Jefferson Theatre Friday afternoon and night, has for its title the name of it's hero, Private John Allen"

PRODUCE MARKET
Eggs Continue to Be Very
 Scarce

Birminghams wholesale produce market was only fairly active yesterday. Eggs are very scarce and the demand is good for choice article at 17c. There are few cases of cold storage eggs on the market but the demand for these is slow. In win ter weather the cold storage goods sell readily. At this season very few of them are taken for family use and the price is one cent under fresh eggs.
 Chickes have been somewhat dull this week and prices show a decided decline. Some large friers sold yesterday for 25c but the best brought, in some cases, as much as 271hc. Butter Is steady.
 The cabbage stocks have been reduced to a minimum and until the market is glut- ted again quotations will be firm at 1Ac for the common run. The demand for Irish potatoes continues brisk but sweets are dull.

point Of agreeing, when King said joS-
ingly: eve will take our guns along,

Immediately the Indian appeared to
be in o state Of abject terror and re-
fused to take the trip, assuring King
that the grizzly bear always over
heard such threats and that hunters
who announced their object were sure
to be eaten up. Laughing at the In
dams superstition, King started on
without him.
A day or two afterward ne was fol

led through a dense thicket and was

The little horse needed no spurs
