BIRMINGHAM IS
 THE PLACE FOR II
Col. Kyle Wants Constitutional
 Convention Held Here
BETTER HOTEL FACILITIES
The Commercial Club and the Board of Trade Urged to Tender Free Use of Auditorium for the Con-
 vention.

There is some probability of an effort being made to have the constitutional convention hold it's sessions in this city on account of the better hotel and hall facilities.
 This idea did not originate with Jeff ferson County delegate, but comes from Colonel R. B. Kyle of Gadsden in let ter to the presidents of the Commercial Club and the Board of Trade Colonel Kyle urges these bodies to take the mat ter up and be ready to offer the free use of the Auditorium for the convention when it assemblies on May H.
 President Kettig of the Commercial Club is out of the city at present. and President O'Neill of the Board of Trade could not be seen last night Colonel Kyles letter is as follows:
 Presidents of the Board of Trade and
 Commercial Club Birmip pgham, Ala.
 Dear Sir:-As the time approaches for the assembling of the constitutional con vention 1t is only business prudence to consider q few difficulties which serious ly interest the delegates to the conven- ton, and which may also largely inter- est the city of Birmingham.
 First, it is a well-known fact that the Montgomery hotels are totally inadequate for the accomn odation of 15o delegates which will compose the convention, and the large number of citizens who will want to visit the city during the sitting of the convention; and further, the hotels are not constructed with a view of enter taining large crowds in summer months
 'Second it Is not known that Mont gomery has made any arrangements to accommodate the convention outside of the capitol. but is expecting the conven- tion to hold it's sessions in the old hall of Representatives, and it is expected that 155 delegates shall be packed in this limited space-arranged for the accommo- dation of only 100 members-to swelter in the heated term of June and July.
 'As Montgomery has made no move to have her Auditorium arranged to ac- commodate the convention, 1 should not be surprised to see the first business of the convention, after it's organization, move to adjourn to the city of Birming- ham. To secure this movement. your Board of Trade must arrange to offer for the use of the convention your Auditori- um, properly arranged to accommodate the convention. If this tender is made, 1t Is my opinion unless Montgomery ten ders her Auditorium Birmingham will secure the convention.
 Much Is involved in this matter. It IS an appalling thought to consider what might be the fatality to members of the convention if forced to sit in convention for fifty days during the months of May, June and July in the little hall of the House of Representatives, and sleep in the lily ventilated rooms of the Montgom- cry hotels. What say you? Will youI city take such action will protect the lives and the health of the delegates and at the same time do much to attract at- tention to the vast possibilities of your city? Respectfully,
 YR. B. KYLE"

FEET OUT. Curious Habits.

When a person has to keep the feet out from under cover during the coldest nights in winter because of the heat and prickly sensation. it is time that coffee, which causes the trouble, be left off, / There is no end to the nervous con- ditions that coffee will produce. It shows in one way in one person and in another way in another. In this case the lady lived in Vermillion. s. Dakota.
 She says: "I have had to lie awake half the night with my feet and limbs out of the bed on the coldest nights, and feel afraid to sleep for fear of catching cold I had been troubled for years with twitching and jerking of the lower limbs, and for most of the time have been unable to go to church or to lec- lures because of that awful feeling that I must keep on the move.
 When 1t was brought to my attention that coffee caused so many nervous dis eases, I concluded to drop coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to see If my trouble was caused by coffee drinking only drank one cup of coffee for break fast but that was enough to do the busi- ness for me. When quit 1t my troubles disappeared in an almost miraculous way. Now I have no more of the jerk ing and twitching and can sleep with any amount of bedding over me and sleep all night. in sound, peaceful rest
 Postum Food Coffee Is absolutely worth It's weight in gold to me" This lady's name can be given on application to the Postum Cereal Co.,, Ltd, Battle Creek. Mioh.
