AND
 TENNESSEE TO PLAY
Game Here on Thanksgiving Day-Ten-
 nesseans Defeat Kentucky a By Score of 5 to o.

The football teams from the University of Alabama and the University of Ten nessee will pull hair in Birmingham on Thanksgiving Day and it promises to be one of the hardest fought games of the season. The teams are evenly matched, having won about an equal number of games and both are anxious for football honors in the South. Auburn, University of Georgia, Vanderbilt and Sewanee have , heretofore lead the Southern football field, and the University of Alabama and University of Tennessee are anxious to get in the higher class.
 The Tennessee team defeated the Ken lucky State College yesterday at Knox vile by a score of 5 to 0. The victory was won by heavy line bucking, superior tackling and excellent interference.
 The news from Knoxville will serve as the Tuscaloosa boys will have to strengthen their line, as their recent games show them to be a trifie weak in the center, though their end running was excellent. With good tackling on the part of the Tennessee team this may not avail them much, and it may be neces- sary to throw the reserve strength of the Alabamians to the center to stop the heavy buckng of their opponents. The game will be played at West End Park.

TWICE TOLD TALES. No Meat Extracted from them by Some who most need the Facts.

We have more than twice told the read CT of the fact that he or she may perhaps easily discover the cause of the daily i'll feeling, and the experiment is not diffi- cult to make.
 But there are readers who think truths are for some one else and not for them- selves
 Some day the oft-told fact will flash upon us as applicable when the knowl- edge comes home. that day after day of inconvenience and perhaps of suffering has been endured the cause not being recognized or believed although we may have been told of the cause many times over but never believed 1t applied to us.
 It would startie person to know how many people suffer because they drug themselves daily with coffee. We repeat it, it is a powerful drug, and so affects the delicate nervous system that disease may appear in any part of the body. all parts being dependent for health on a healthy nervous system.
 Relief from coffee for thirty days has cured thousands of people who never sus- pected the cause of their troubles.
 The use of Postum Food Coffee is of great benefit to such, as 1t goes to work directly to rebuild the delicate cell struc- lures from the elements nature selects for the work Relief from a heavy drug and the taking of proper nourishment is the frue and only permanent method.

BAD ODoR IN WATER CAUSED BY VEGETABLE MATTER.

MT. George Reyer, superinten- ., , dent of the Water Company. when { , asked about the complaints and < , the condition of the water said {
 , last night: . Having heard complaint about { , the condition of the water, par { ' ticularly on the Southside, I took { ? samples from different sections { and sent them to Dr. J. c. Whar- < . ton. an eminent chemist at Nash , vile, with the request that he { analyze the same. He did so, and { D in his report to me said that the { , samples of water sent him were < excellent drinking water and that < N few cities he knew of had water < that was as good. In regard to { , the odor or taste he said that this would only be temporary and was { N frequently found in good drinking { , water. It was due to vegetable 1 matter, and aside from the objec- { A tionable taste or smell he did not < N consider 1t hampered. We are mak- { } ing every effort to overcome the <
 } trouble, and I believe that by the { , middle of next week there can be <
 b no further complaint There is not now nor has there { been any contamination whatso- ' ever in the Birmingham water sup { . ply. The cause of the present 1 , temporary condition Is due pure , ly to falling leaves and vegetable ' matter. all of which will be com | , pletely remedied and eradicated, < . so to speak, in a day or two"

Question Comes Up at Meet ing of the WOnans
 Club
DOCTORS MAKE ADDRESSES
pr. coulbourn Says Sides of Reser. voirs Should Be cemented. Discuss Garbage Con-
 tract Question.

"The people of Birmingham should cent water supply"
 -DR. j. T. coULBoURN.
 "The water supply of Birmingham is insufficient in quantity and deficient in quality"
 --coL. SAM WILL JOHN.
 The Womans Club of Birmingham at meeting yesterday afternoon expressed determination to begin crusade for better water in Birmingham and say they will continue the fight until the supply is purified.
 The supply of drinking water was con- demned in strong terms by rr. J. T Coul- bourn and Col. Sam Will John, and be . fore the meeting had concluded a resolu- tion was passed calling up the Mayer and Board of Aldermen to investigate the question and escerteir if the reservoirs are kept. clean. The resolution follows: "Be it Resolved, By the Woman's Club of Birmingham, That the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Birmingham be urged to ascertain the condition of the reservoirs owned and operated by the Birmingham Water Works Company, and if they are found unclean to take steps to improve the present condition"
 WILL HOLD A
 PUBLIC MEETING. Upon the adoption of this resolution by unanimous vote 1t was decided to hold a public meeting one night during the coming week and invite some of the make addresses.
 Mayor Drennen was invited to attend the meeting yesterday, but was prevented from being present on account of official duties, which called him elsewhere.
 Colonel John, the first speaker at the meeting, discussed principally the ques- tion of garbage removal and the disposi- tion of women criminals. Referring to the water supply Colonel John said he was. of the opinion that the peculiar taste and odor from the water was due to the fact that the leaves were now fall ing and much of the water which goes into the reservoirs came from rain which had fallen on this decaying vegetation.
 As to the garbage question. Colonel John said he thought the city should take charge of the work, and he believed it would result in much good.
 At this juncture Mrs. Zac Smith in- formed Colonel John that the Woma n S Club fully endorsed the position of Mayor Drennen in the matter of the city taking charge of the work. She suggested that if this was done the people would have somebody to hold directly responsible tor the cleanliness of the city.
 Colonel John endorsed her position and said the contract system was the great est detriment known to municipalities He concluded by denomcing the practice of keeping women criminals in the same prison with men. He thought this great aid to immortality and said the good women ought to take steps to stop it. The speaker was given rising vote of thanks.

DENoUNcEs CITY
 WATER SUPPLY.


 DENoUNcEs CITY WATER SUPPLY. Dr. J. T. Coulbourn was then intro duced, and after explaining at length the different sources of water and how polu- ton cane enter we'll, streams. springs and cisterns he began strong denuncia- ton of the water now furnished the peo- pie of Birmingham.
 "I am informed by reliable persons that neither of the reservoirs operated by the Birmingham Water Works Company" continued Dr. Coulburn, Ifs cemented either on the sides or on the bottom. In other words they are nothing but ponds made by excavating the earth and let ting the water run in. There is no way to clean these ponds and all kinds of poisonous germs can creap into the wa ter that we drink. That is what causes the smell and the awful taste you sneak of, ladies'"
 Dr. Coulbourn said. there was a big pond at North Birmingham from which water is furnished the city and the sup ply is furnished by,-a long open ditch from Five Mile creek. 'I am reliably informed" continued the doctor. that at one time the North Birmingham pond was to be drained and all of the families of the men in charge gathered about the place to have a big fish fry. When the pond was drained depth with mud and slime and in this the fish were buried. The appetites of those people grew dull and there were no fish eaten there that day.
 Now that's one of the sources from which you get your water" exclaimed Dr. Coulbourn, and can you wonder at sickness?''
 He suggested that the reservoirs should be lined with cement so they would be cleaned at least every two weeks.
 EXPRESSIONS OF
 FEMININE HORROR.
 pr. Coulbourn then exhibited two DOT celain rods he had taken from a cistern. and they were covered with brown colored sentiment which the doctor said was slime. The women handled the rods very gingeriy and many feminine ex- pressions of horror went around the room.
 we ought to rise up in rebellion" said the doctor, and demand a better water supply. I will do what 1 can to make this company give us better water and am sure the women will help us'
