GROCER AND COFFEE.
Helped Out of Trouble by Postum Cereal
 Coffee.

'4The daily use of coffee caused indiges- tfon to both myself and family, my husband being the worst affected; an hour or so after using coffee. the form of indigestion called belching or gas rising, was shown, often accompanied by pain and sick stom- ach. We had heard of the merfts of Pos- hum Food Coffee and concluded to tsy 1t, We were much pleased with rhe results and are now using Postum in preference to any other hot drink. The sick feelings that used to come from coffee drinking have disappeared.
 q have known of several who declared that Postum was weak and insipid, after the first trial. I always discover that in such cases the Postum Coffee hED been boiled about the same length of time as for coffee, which is not half enough. have taken pains to explain to such people that if they would use four heaplng tea- spoons to the pint of water, let 1t stand on the stove until the real bubbling begins, then note the time by the clock and allow it to boil full fifteen minutes from that time, stirring down occasionally, it would produce a rich, clear, deep brown color with fine. crisp taste.
 'sMr. H. H. Bidwen of Springfield, Mo, who had been user of coffee for years, concluded that his indigestion was caused by coffee drinl1bng. He tried Postum and Is nov a great friend and advocate of 1t, both for young end old. Mir Dan Trogdeu. one of Green couvy's leading farmers. had a somewhat similar experience My hrs- band fs . grocer and says that the sales of Postum are steadfy increasing as 1t be- comes mora and favorahly mown.

BOULEVARD ALONG
 HIGHLAND AVENUE
Will Extend from Buena Vista to
 BeeIer'S Station.
WORK OF REALTY COMPANY
Woodlawn Property to be Laid Out and Its Natural Beauty Preserved-Ru- mors of Club House on
 the Highlands

It is the purpose of the Birmingham Real ty company, successor to the Elyton com pany, to make a boulevard of that part of Highland avenue that passes through the company's property There is great scope for this enterprise between Buena Vista and Beelers by the way of Lakeview. The splendidly wooded and beautiful property lying between Twenty-first street, South, and Lakeview park will be thoroughly sur yeyed and mapped This great work has been practically begun under the personal direction and supervision of George H. Clark, the able and experienced general en- gineer of the company. Mir Clark will have constantly in view the preservatio as far as possible of the remarkable nat ural beauty of the woods and the contour of the land. As a matter of course MT. Clark will score for the company as many front feet for building purposes as practi cable, the object being to open up the prop erty and divide it into residential lots. The beautifully wooded knolls. hills and dells form an ideal district for dwelling houses. In fact, 1t Is difficult to imagine as existing in any land any district more happily adapted to the purposes of dwelling places for man. When Engineer Clark shall have completed the great task assigned to him, his surveys plans and maps will be sub mitted to the most eminent landscape gar dener in New York for consideration and suggestion, which is as much as to say that MT Clark's work will receive the approval of the highest authority in this country. A rumor to the effect that the Realty com pany had in view the erection of a club house on the South Highlands is under stood to be erroneous. It is based, appa- rently, on some discussion that has taken place between the company and representa- tives of some club, name not given, as to acquisition of site for the club in ques- ton.

Refunting the Debt

Colonel J. J. Altman chairman of the committee on refunding the old city bonds and funding the past due interest bonds, said that the city's financial affairs re- quired close study, and that his commit tee would take plenty of time for it. He and the other members of the committee would give the matter in drand search ing consideration. Colonel Altman was of the opinion that Birmingham was now in position to refund its debt at a much lower rate of interest than the present rate. He thought that the $26O, 900 which the city owed on past due interest account might be funded at 3A or per cent, and that all the old bonds might be refunded at rate not exceeding per cent.
 As to the municipal ownership of light recommended by the mayor Colonel Altman mad very decided views. He has long been a strong believer in city ownership.
 An electric light plant could be erected for $75,oO0 or $S0.OOO," said Colonel Altman. and the City should be able to finance such a scheme. If the enterprise can be financed on any thing like reasonable terms I am heartily in favor of going into the business.
 IT we build a plant,' continued Colonel Altman, I've will secure at least double the number of ights that we have now and will be able to do a commercial business at a rate equal to or lower than the price charged at present, resulting in such profit ito the city as would make the public light tng very small affair in cost say this after a careful investigation of the ques- tion of municipal ownership in other cities having plants doing a commercial busi- ness"
 Colonel Altman is a member of the com mhttee on the mayors message in relation ito the light question.
 The Water Question
 Harry Jones, Chairman of the committee to consider the question of municipal own ership of a water plant is also chairman of the joint committee of the aldermen and the Commercial club which is now consid- ering the water service. He said that his committee on the mayors recommendation would not be called to take up the matter until after the joint committee referred had completed its work. MT. Jones favors city ownership as abstract proposition, but he said he would be better prepared to dis cuss it later on.

The Chairmen Express Some Very De- clded Views-Col. Altman Thinks Time Ripe for Refunding

The municipal affairs of Birmingham in volving the recommenda tions made in May or Drennen's annual message to the city council, upon the question of municipal ownership of light and water plants and the refunding of the city debt, will be thoroughly investigated by the special com mittee to which the several questions have been referred.
 The chairmen of these special committees are preparing to call their committees to- getIher and probably by the middle of next week the investigation of at least two of the questions will be well under way.

The Question ,f Lights

c. c. Heldt, chairman of the committee charged to take up the question of muni- pal ownership of a light plant, said that he would call d meeting of his committee for the latter part of this or the early part of next week.
 ''I am in favor of the city owning it's own electric light plant" said MT. Heidt, provided, of course. that we can negotiate the sale of bonds for the purpose without giving up too much in the way of commis- sions, and provided, too, that the Consoli- dated Electric Light company does not of fer to light the city as cheaply as we could do it with our own plant. We are now paying $1oS per year for ea,a fight. It Is understood that this company is ready to enter into new contract next September at a greatly reduced price, It is possible that the company will find it advisable to meet us on terms that will be acceptable. If not, am in favor of Birmingham going into the lighting business.
 "A flrst-class plant-a plant that would serve Birmingham not only to-day, but ten years hence-would cost $900O0. A plant that would answer well enough to-day could be constructed and equiped for $I5,- 900, perhaps, out it would be poor economy if we did not build for future demand.
 "If we should make a contract with the Consolidated Electric Light company, I would oppose going into it for a period longer than five years, for it is only a question of time when the city must have its own plant. l have made a careful study of this question of municipal owner ship of light, and in most cities the sys- tenn is highly satisfactory. The cities that furnish their own lights have more light al less cost than under the contract sys- tenn, and where the city goes into the commercial business of supplying indlvid- ual customers the patrons are well satls- fled with the economy.
 Birmingham has a great future, and in five years from now, there will have been great growth in population, and great in crease in taxable values"
 In conclusion MT. HIeidt said that he had an excellent committee, and that the matter of municipal lighting would have a thorough ousiness-like consideration.
