MINES TAXED TO
 THEIR CAPACITIES Demand for Coal Far Greater
 Than Supply THE LOSS OF A BIG ORDER One Hundred Thousand Tons for Ex- port Secured Elsewhere, as Local Operators Were Unable to
 Handle Business.
THE LOSS OF A BIG ORDER

The Birmingham district has recently lost the sale of 10O,OOO tons of coal for export be- cause the coal companies were not able to fill the orders within the time limit The order went to the Jellico mines in Tennes- see, and several thousand tons of the coal are now on the docks at Pensacola await ing the arrival of steamers
 This big sale was brought about by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company through it's agents, who first came to Bir- mingham and interviewed the operators of this district. Finding that the Alabama mines could not supply the demand already made upon them, they went went to Ten nessee and closed the contract with the Jellico Company.
 Another instance of the shortage in the supply of Alabama coal is the fact that the Southern Railway is now using Tennessee coal in it's engines that run through Bir mingham. Tennessee coal is shipped to Greenville, Miss, for use in engines on that end of the Southern's system. These conditions are made possible only by the enormous demand upon the Alabama mines which have been taxed to their utmost ca pacity for the past year and half Dur ing that time the output in the State has been increased from about 5OO00O tons to abou 750,000 tons month.
 Other instances.
 For over a year the Louisville and Nash ville Railroad Company has been forced to secure 8 good DOT, cn of its supply of coal for it's engines on this division from Ken lucky mines. It is safe to state that if the coal operators in Alabama were able to deliver all the coal they could sell the production of the mines in this State would exceed 10 0O0, ,0O0 tons a year Instead of about 5000 900 tons, the estimated production in 1900
 The new mines that have been opened in the past few months and which will he worked before spring, together with other mines that are to be opened within the next few months, will add over a million thus bringing the total for the year 1901 above the 10, ,0OO. 900 ton mark, unless market conditions undergo considerable change and cut down the demand.
 New Companies.
 H. F. DeBardelegen, who is at the head of two coal companies organized within the last three weeks, states that several open ings will be made on properties controlled by him. The rumor that pig iron furnace is to be built at Clements, Tuscaloosa Coun- ty by his company is denied by MT. De- Bardeeben. He stated to Age-Herald reporter that he had no present intention of building any pig iron furnaces, but that the coal properties would be developed

NERVOUS PEOPLE

Read the Following Extract From Ono
 of Dr. Hartman's Lectures.
 Dr. Hartman, president of the Hart- man Sanitarium, in recent lecture, stated the following:
 "The first difficulty meet with in the proper treatment of nervous prostration Is to get my patients rid of the many nervines, stimulants and sedatives to which they have usually become accus- toned before consulting me. It would be difficult to over-estlmate the damage these drugs do In such cases. Bromides, yalerinates, chloral, opium in every form, caffeine, cocaine, and many others are all alike of great injury and of no possible good.
 "To get all these and many other simi- lar remedies from the patient and Pe- runa in their stead is tho first thing to be accomplished. Shortly after Peruna is begun the appetite becomes regular, the sleep natural, and every disagreeable symptom improved. Peruna is perfect specific for these cases and is absolutely inyincible. There are no failures where these directions are faithfully followed. The improvement Is prompt and the patient can rest assured that perfect cure will follow a persistent use of it.
 "Peruna contains no phosphorous, strychnine, or quinine to temporarily l exalt the nervous system, but acts per manently by restoring the normal con- ditione. It con bafns no narcotic or seda- tive, and does not deranee the action of any bodily function during its use."
 Mrs. A. E. Howe, Worthy Matron of the Chicago Chapter, No. 161, of the Order of the Eastern Star, writes from 239 Rush street, Chicago, as follows:
