Food That Brought Back Buoyan,

Newspaper writers have time of 1t to get the right kind of food to nourish them. One of this profession who writes for Boston paper says: From the first Grape-Nuts Food worked like a charm. My stomach had been failing to digest ordinary food. and my nerves were com pletely unstrung. was about to give Up work while preparing a series of ar ticles for the press, but by a stroke of good fortune they began to feed me on Grape-Nutss My strength gradually re- turned. nerves became steadier day by day. and I soon found I could do more office work with greater ease than ever before.
 There came to me that feeling of buoy ant health and satisfaction with my work and satisfaction with myself. In short, I felt that life was worth living. and that I was 'girded up like a strong man for a race.'
 In my opinion. Grape-Nuts is the one perfect article of food invaluable alike for those that are sick and those that are we'll" W. s. Gidley, Author of Hap py-Go-Lucky Papers,, 'The Landlords Story. etc.
 It is a fact that Grape-Nuts Food does supply the brain and nerve centers with the elements necessary to rebuild, nour- ish and maintain. That brings health. strength, happiness and the feeling of buoyancy Mir. Gidley speaks of

CHARLIE WINSTON.
Was the Negro Shot Near Leeds for
 Jim Brown.

Coroner Paris states that the negro who was shot and killed near Leeds is Charlie Winston, an employe of the Manhattan Lumber Company at River side.
 It was testified at the coroner's inquest by eye-witnesses to the shooting that he was shot on the railroad track and ran about 15o yards before he fell. Had he not run he would not have been shot. He himself stated that he had been stealing a ride and when he saw some men on the track he thought they were a train crew, and that they were after him, and that this was the reason he ran.
 The jury which investigated the case was composed of several of the county's best citizens, Mayor George of Irondale being on the jury. They heard the tes- timony of every eyewitness to the shoot ing, but could not learn the names of the persons who shot. The latter were evil dently excited, and wore out hunting for Jim Brown. Seeing a negro run and refuse to stop they thought 1t was Brown and shot at him.

THE NEW MEMBERS SWORN IN TONIGHT Some of the Things Accom- plished by Present Board TRANSFER SYSTEM ON CARS Public Improvements Begun and To Be Made This Year Amount to Three
 Quarters of a Million
 Dollars.

The City Council meets tonight in reg ular semi-monthly session. at which time the new members of the board elected on May will be sworn in and take their seats. -
 The present board has been a very &C., tive one, and many of the laws put on to the city. Among the more prominent of the accomplishments of the board Is the agreement between the board and the management of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power Company entered into last September. whereby the latter com pany Is to inaugurate the transfer sys- tenn over the entire street car system of the city and suburbs. Under this agree ment passenger getting on the car at East Lake can go to Powderly or North Birmingham by paying one five cent fare. At present the transfer system applies to only three lines, the North Birming- ham, the Gate City and the Highland av- enue lines.
 The inauguration of this system will be of great benefit to those residing along any of the lines, and will result in the saving of several dollars to each person in the course of a year.
 Another forward move made by the present board is that by which the streets and sidewalks of Birmingham are to be orodad and uacadamized and curhed and the sanitary sewage system to be improved and extended. It Is estimated that the public improvements contem- plated for the present year will cost ap- proximately 750,0OO

Six Straluht Losses.

Nashville, May 1-(Special. .)-Nashville game at every point and won easily with hands down. Nashville played a good hard game, hit the ball hard when hit was needed and made only one error and that was not a costly one.
 Brandt. who pitched the game for Bir- mingham, was hit freely all through tho game. He did not get frst-class support, as Birmingham Is credited with six TOTS. In addition to this he was very wild, and especially towards the last of the game, and lost his head, as well as his temper, at critical moments. He gave eight men free passes to first base, was hit for four three-baggers and four two- baggers, made one wild pitch, allowing a run, and hit one batter.
 The first inning was played in short order, only four men on each side getting to the bat. Nashville piled up three runs in the next two innings by safe hits In one inning and base on balls, following by three-bagger in the other. Brming- ham failed to score and got only one man past first.
 Two Nashville men got their bases on balls in the next inning and piled up three more runs with sacrifice and two sin gles.
 Birmingham opened up in the fifth and made four of the five runs she got. Two hits and a base on balls filled all the bags, when Culver stepped to the plate and swatted the first ball pitched for three bags, bringing in all three of his comrades and he was later brought in from third.
 Nashville continued to add to her score to the end of the game, but Birmingham only succeeded in getting one man across the plate.
 But for two excusable errors on account of the wildness of Brandt, Culver played the star game for Birmingham. Moss ran him a close second with three hits to his credit, out of a total of seven got off of Sanders of Nashville. Score by innings

times. The air was filled with skyrock- ets-if yels can be called skyrockets-and this fact probably caused the 543 errors made by the players of the two teams.
 During the entire game no star playing was done, although the work of one of the sixteen flelders in accepting two chances without an error was considered remarkable-so very remarkable, indeed, that this same man made errors every other time he could possibly get the chance. And right here let 1t be said that presence of the keg on third base, but was due rather to the desire of the play CTS for personal distinction. For it WAS made a rule that If any player made more

FIorence, B. e., NOV. 26, 1BUU.
 I was first advised by our family physi- clan in Charleston to use TEETHINE with our baby when she was but a very young infapt as a preventive of collie and to warm and sweeten the stomach. Later it was useful in teething troubles, and its effect has been found to be SO very bene- ficial and so free from the dangers that are consequent upon the use of drugs and soothing syrups that we have come to re- gard it, after use with three children. as one of the necessities when there is q new baby in the house and until the teething troubles are over, and we take pleasure in recommending it to our friends instead of the horrid stuff that so many people use to keep their babies quiet.
