TO PASS THE CROWD. All Cannot Be Brilliant, No Matter
 How Healthy.

It probably comes to every thoughtful person at times that there are plenty of common, mediocre people. and that if one determines to, he or she can press to the front, pass the crowd and win pos ition, fame and gold. It Is largely a matter of determination and health. Many determined character with bril- health. Some find that bright, keen thoughts refuse to come to their brains, and wonder why.
 The kind of brain work that makes successful merchants lawyers, doctors, authors, etc, etc., makes heavy draughts on the filling of the minute nerve cells of the body, said filling being composed of q greyish sort of material which must be replaced day by day, or the brain and other parts of the body will not act ant properly.
 Coffee is a hidden but powerful enemy to ones progress in life It's subtle, nar- cotic poison, weakens heart. interferes with digestion and has definite and de- structiye effect on the nervous system People who are content to load them selves with impediments to progress. who refuse to supply body with food and drink of the kind needed to make up for the daily disintegration of the nerves and tissue. must stand aside in the race for pre-eminences
 The ones who are properly fed. will surely win the laurels.
 Postum Food Coffee furnishes the glu- ton and phosphates of grain needed by nature to nourish brain and nerves with food. It does not narcotize and tear down. It is frequently misjudged on first trial, because of improper prepara- ton, but 1t will be found to be a most de- licious beverage If. after boiling com mences, 1t be allowed to continue boiling for fifteen minutes. This is necessary to extract the food value and flavor.

There are not many Birmingham peo- pie who do not know MT. R. J. Baker. They may not know him by his full name. but ask any man, woman or child who resides on the South Highlands if they know Bob" and they will tell you that he Is Q. personal friend, and that 1t Is positive pleasure to pay car fare when Bob" rings the register
 Bob" as he is familiarly called by every South Highlander who depends up- on the cars for transportation to the city, is the veteran conductor on that line of the electric system. In point of ago he is probably the youngest man in the employ of the company, but in point of continuous service he enjoys the dis tinction of being the oldest conductor.
 Mir Baker has been making daily jour neys from the city to the Highlands and return since '93. He was first employed by the Highland Avenue and Belt Rail- road Company that operated a tri-weelkly dummy during the close of the last cen tury. MT. Baker remained with the com pany for five years and when 1t became merged into the Birmingham Railway, i<iSnt anu IoWCl SOiuPdhy was it- tained and has continued to ring fares ever since
 Small wonder that he IS known to thousands of men. women and children.

 If the car Is late it would be impossible to look cross if Bob" swung himself off to assist you on. If 1t is over-crowded and you are forced to stand, you may be sure of Bob's regret that there is not an annex for your special comfort.

Defanse" This story is one of the pret- ticst, pathetic literary efforts of the noted southern writer, and Miss Tucker is said to interpret it in the most charming style.
 The summary of this defense is as fol- lows:
 Hiram Ard is charged with the cussin' of his nother-in-law, and his statement to the court and jury, in quaint htt elo- quent language. describes his courtship and marriage to Cooney Gonder, against the will of her mother, who had kept up an eternal warfare through all these years. Hiram's thrilling and amusing de- scription of their many encounters. and the simple honesty and generous dspo- sition of the man so won all hearts that Mrs Gonder acknowledged that she had been wrong and asked to withdraw the charges
 Besides the work of Miss Tucker, the police will be assisted by a number of local amateur entertainers.
