CONTRACT FOR NEW BLAST FURNACE LET The Republic Company Will Build
 at Thomas.
WORK WILL BEGIN AT ONCE
Mary Pratt is Being Put in Repair and the Williamson is Ready-First Marine Boiler Made in
 Birmingham

The Republic Iron and Steel company has new blast furnace at Thomas, mention of which has been made in the Age-Herald be- fore. The new furnace will have daily capacity of about 25O tons, and the company expect to have 1t in operation before the end of the present year. The Means and Fulton company of this city, were given the contract for building the stacks and stoves, the balance of the contracts going to outside companies.
 Ground will be broken for the new fur mace within the next few days and work on putting in the foundations will begin early next week. The work will be pushed as much as possible in order to have the furnace ready to go in blast with the least possible delay.
 The Republic Iron and Steel company is opening up number of new coal mines in Jefferson county and developing other prop erty. The new mines will have daily capacity of several hundred tons which will be consumed by the company at its furnaees and rolling mills.
 Mary Pratt urnace
 Repair work on the Mary Pratt furnace, just east of the city limits, has been com menced and will be rapidly pushed to com pletion. This furnace which has been idle for the past ten years or more was pur- chased by the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company last year. together with a number of other furnace and mining prop critics, and is the last of the furnaces to be put in condition to be operated. It has daily capacity of one hundred tons, and when put in operation the Alabama Consol- dated company will have five furnaces in blast. making that company third in point of pig iron production in the state.
 The Williamson Ready
 The Williamson furnace is ready to go in blast, but the owners have not yet been able to lay in a supply of raw material. Fires were lighted in the furnace two or three days ago for the purpose of drying it out. T. B. Perry, manager of the furnace com pany, stated to an Age-Herald reporter that he thought it probable that a supply of raw material would be secured within a few weeks and that by the middle or latter part of this month the furnace would be started up.
 The Means and Fulton company yester- day shipped marine boiler to Apalachico- la Fla. This is the first boiler of the kind that was ever made by Birmingham foun- dry.

MIR, VAUGHAN BACK FROM WASHINGTON Still in the Race for State Chair manship-More De!ee-
 ga1es Elected.

The fight for the republican state chair manship is of absorbing interest in repub- lican circles and factional zeal increases in intensity. U
 Several counties yesterday elected dele- gates, Lamar, Dale and Sumter instructing for Vaughan. At Bingham headquarters last night information had been received from two county conventions-Cleburne and Clay. The latter county instructed its four delegates for Bingham. The former chose four delegates and, while they were unin- structed they had conference and signed an agreement to vote for Bingham for chairman. 3n.
 Both Vaughan and Bingham spent last week in Washington. MT. Vaughan return- ed last night. He was met at the train by T. H. Miller, secretary of his campaign committee Assistant United States Att torney Pleasan and other partisans. His son, about 12 years old, is quite ill, and on that account he hurried to a carriage and drove to his home on the South Highlands. As he was stepping into the carriage Mr. Vaughan said to an Age-Herald reporter that owning ito the illness of his little boy he had no time to be interviewed; "but," !" said he, you can say that I am still in the race for the chairmanship." Vaughan and his friends seem to be confident Of the triumph of their cause. MT. Bingham is expected home today.

UNNATURAL HUNGER.
A Sure Sign of Hidden Dyspepsia.

''It was necessary to eat dinner at Il o'clock" (says Mr. c. F. Gilman, 1131 Pres ton street, Rockford, Ill.,) "in order to have strength to prepare the monday meal for the family.
 "while was drinking coffee I felt so faint at Il o'clock that I was unable to proceed with the work unless I had lunch If I missed the Il oclock meal, I was att tackled with a severe sick headache.
 My complexion at that time was a sight great blotches appearing on my face, and I was so nervous I could sleep but a few minutes at a time, and would wake in the morning more tired than when I went to bed.
 Our grocer called my attention one day to Postum Cereal Coffee. This was about three years ago. I immediately quit the use of coffee and took up Postum having it prepared properly. The change produced a remarkable result. In a week Or two I was able to leave off the il o'clock lunch and take my dinner in the regular way with the rest of the family. My blotchy complexion disappeared and a natural complexion took its place. Now I can from morning until night without meal, if I desire, and no headache or inconvenience of any kind ap- pears l sleep sound as a baby, and my kidney trouble, which was more than se- rious, has entirely disappeared
 "A lady friend was recommended to try Postum, and a short time after. told me she was disgusted with 1t for it had no taste. I asked her if she boiled it care- fully fifteen minutes after the real bub- bling commenced She said no, and in re- ply to another question, said she used only one heaping teaspoonful to the cup. I ex- plained to her that she must use two heap ing teaspoons to the cup and let it boil long enough. The next time I saw her she said she used PostIIm regularly and liked it very much indeed, and that it had made a great change in her health and the health of one two members of her family.''
 It seems plain, from this experiment, that one is justified in the inference that cof- fee is an actual poison to many human n beings and sets up all sorts of diseases. The remedy is plain enough-to abandon the coffee and use Postum Food Coffee, which is sold by all grocers at b and 25 cents package.

This must be done before the
tubers are formed. The rows
should be at least 3 feet apart and
the plants 20 inches apart in the
row. While results from this
practice have been really wonder
full, it is advised that each person
try it on a small plot before going
into it extensively. Not only
were all of the tubers of good,
marketable size by this plan, but
the yield was wholly satisfactory.

toes, add one teacup salt, put in
Jar and let stand over night Drain

mustard seed, cloves, cinnamon,
and sugar; repeat until all are used,
not sparing the sugar, and fill the

blespoonful of each kind of spice
and lay on top of jar. Always

1t may not be generally known
that green tomatoes cut in slices,
busted with flour or not, as pre-
ferred, seasoned with salt only
and fried gently in butter make an
excellent relish. And ripe toma-
toes, peeled, sliced, seasoned to
taste, using plenty of butter, and
baked in a moderate oven, make a
nice dish for breakfast or luncheon.

Do fowls Need Exercise?

AS fowls are ordinarily fed
exercise is positively necessary to
enable them to digest the food
they take. A ration of grain in
large part and other things in
small part means that the fowls
will have to develop muscle and
energy to do the work of grinding
But it is possible to so feed the
fowls that exercise will not be of
any value. This is shown by the
French method of fattening fowls.
They are Shut up in a cage and

FOR THE FARMER.
Importance of Late Crops.

If farmers will consider that from
one to directions of cured provend-
er may be grown on an acre, and
they will take advantage of the
Summer season for so doing, they
can greatly enlarge their capacity
for feeding stock during Winter.
Hungarian grass is a crop that
grows more rapidly than millet,
and it is one of the most efficient
weed destroyers known, even the
Canada thistle being unable to
make Roadway against it. AS it
soon reaches the cutting stage of
growth it will afford two or more
mowings, which will destroy any
weeds that have the ability to
compete with the crop. The
stubble remaining over serves to
protect the soil during the Winter.
Rape may also be cut two or three
times, but requires good land. The
rule is to turn sheep on the rape,
using hurdles, and make a profit
on the mutton. Cowpeas equal
clover as a hay crop. The plants
also benefit the soil by storing
nitrogen therein. Many advise
the growing of cowpeas as a green
manurial crop entirely, but it is
more profitable to NOW and cure
for hay, as the manure will return
to the soil that portion not shipped
to market in the forms of meat,
milk or butter The cowpea shades
the land completely when broad
casted aud provides favorable con
ditions for the recuperation of the
soil Whether for hay or for
blowing under any of the crops
mentioned the farmer should not
permit his growing corn to take
the whole of his time from the
Summer crops.

Bran for Chicks.

A trough of bran kept in the
dry but where the chicks can have
access to it at all times will be
found of excellent effect in pre-
venting bowel troubles. If the
bran becomes wet it will soon sour
and will then become a source of
disease. Whatever shelter is pro-
vided for it must be built with a
view of perfectly protecting it
from dampness.
