POOR COMFORT.
Cold Water Drinker Finds Rsliei in Postum Coffee.

Our American people, who are nervous and overstrained, would never dTank cof. fee if they knew how well and clear headed they would be without it.
 When I was a little child,' says Miss NJ D'Alt of Topeka. kans.. I com menced the. driking of coffee. Naturally nervous, it made me as the years went on, a most miserable wretch, always ir an unnatural state of excitement, found. as I grew older, that I would al times stagger as a drunken person. II was C flee for I had no desire 70 drink anything in liquors.
 My health was very s4S ana my broth CT and l were talking of quitting coffee when I was stricken with typhoid fever Upon my recovery. my brother wisely allowed me no coffee and said if l wished to oe Wei again. I must stop .ts use.
 For a number Of years, cold water waf uy only drink. but this was poor comfort until about three years ago package 01 Postum Food Coffee was left at car house. We prepared 1t as directed and found a wholesome. delicious drink; more than this. 1t has strengthened me with out causing those terrible after effects formerly left upon me by coffee.

 Many people who have stopped drink ing coffee because of its effect on the nerves, will find the pure food drink, Pcstum a beverage that when properly made touches the spot pleases eye and palate and fills the vacancy as no other drink eaA.

A MIsuNDERsTANDINa
Call for Southern League Meeting
 Mixed Up.

Chattanooga, Tenn. Nov. 2S.-(Special.) ) The meeting called for the Board of Directors for tomorrow has created con- siderable misunderstanding. The call was for Montgomery, but the claim Is made today that 1t was intended for Birming- ham. An attempt is being made to have the meeting postponed on account of the evident desire of Memphis to talk com promise. This is made evident by the announcement of Caruthers Ewing that he and associates will make a hard fight to retain their membership In the old league.
 Charges have been filed aginst the Memphis Baseball Association and they will be taken up at the meeting. These charges come from new sources in the misunderstanding. and the direct request is said to be made to declare the franchise held by the present organization as for feited. Other men stand ready and team in the city. The old crowd are believed to be getting alarmed and are now to make fight for their own saliva ton.
 The applications of Montgomery and Mobile will be formally acted upon, although they were accepted some time ago. This action Is merely to make the matter legally correct. A discussion of the new officers will probably take place and report prepared for the meeting of the full membership of the league to be held in Birmingham December 15. It Is believed, in we'll informed circles, that this is the beginning of the end for the insurgent organization and that the lead CTS of the new movement intend to sue for peace.

 Meanwhile Stage Manager Fitzgerald explained the contretemps to the audi ence which signified its willingness to patiently wait for the pleasure of seeing Miss Sylva. John D.

 The audience was well rewarded for its patience. "The Strollers'' Is well worth waiting for.

A wagon was coming down Law renee Street. crossing Dexter Avenue and 1t seemed she tried to get out of the way of the wagon and jumped in front of the car. The car was running on four points. which is about four miles an hour. The woman was standing still when first seen by me. I don't believe she ever saw the car The headlight was lit. I have been working for the street railroad company about thirteen months. The body of the woman was about half way under the length of the car. backed the car off of the body. The accident occurred be- tween p. m. and 5:so p. m.
 Percy L. Railey'' Conductor Eiland made the following statement under oath:

 'I saw the body of the woman immedi- ately after 1t had been struck by the car The body was not dragged any dis tance and the accident appeared to be unavoidable. J. T. Turnipseed."
 Accident Was Unavoidable.
 Coroner Tice thereupon announced that he would not hold the motorman and con- ductor for luther investigation. He wrote and signed the following verdict:
 The Coroner having investigated the facts finds and reports that in his opin- ion the woman, name unknown, came to her death. having been struck by a car of the Montgomery Street Railway, which was the result of an accident, unavoid- able. W. H. Tice, Coroner" After this verdict was rendered the motorman and conductor were released from custody.
