GETS PIPE MAKING
 DEVICE PATENTED
DImmick Pipe Works Employ the ln' ventor of the Coilapsible
 Cone Bar.

Mr. J. D. Hairless. pattern-maker al the Dimmick Pipe Company's works al North Birmingham. received notice from his attorney at Washington yesterday that the patent office had issued patent for his collapsible core bar for making straight pipe.
 This collapsible core bar is regarded by manufacturers of cast iron pipe as a most valuable device. Clay instead of hay rope is used for the core and as the hay is very expensive the new pat ent will in time, it is believed, be gen. orally adopted.
 Mir Harless was at work on his inven- tior for several years, and he is being warmly congratulated by his fellow workmen and his friends generally on be- ing able to secure a patent. He is the in ventor of the flush car door, which was patented in 1890, and is esteemed as ont cf the most ingenious mechanics in thu Birmingham district

MUST BE SHOWN. Coffee Drinkers Require Proof.

When persons insist on taking some kind of food or drink that causes disease it is not fair to blame a doctor for not curing them.
 Coffee keeps thousands of people sick in spite of all the doctor can do to cure them. There is but one way to get great help will be to shift over to Postum Food Coffee.
 A case of this kind is illustrated by Mrs. E. Kelly, 233 Eighth avenue. New ark. N. J., who says: "I have been ailing for about eight years with bilious trouble and indigestion. Every doctor told me to give up coffee. I laughed at the idea of coffee hurting me, until about three years ago I was taken very bad and had to have a doctor attend me regularly.
 '"rhe doctor refused to let me have coffee, but prescribed Postum Food Coffee. I soon got to making 1t so we'll that I could Hot tell the difference in taste be- tween Postum and the common coffee.
 ''I began to improve right away and have never had bilious spell since giving up coffee and taking on Postum. When I started I weighed 109 pounds;, now I weigh 130. My friends ask what has m ade the change. and of course. I tell them it was leaving off coffee and taking up Postum. the old-fashioned coffee again. You can use my name if you print this letter. for I am not ashamed to have the pehlic] know just what I have to say about Postum ana what it has done for rs"

 WHAT TO DO WITH HER SON

Raymond Dupree, the 11-year-old boy who was arrested Friday night by Detec- tive Culpepper on a charge of forgery, was yesterday identified as the same boy who tried to pass a forged order on clerk at Drennen's store.
 The police do not know exactly what to do with him. He has been sent to the industrial school at East Lake, but they were unable to keep him there. They consider him too young to be sent to jail. The solution of the question will probably be his returns to the school.
 It will be rem embered the boy tried to pass two forged checks on the teller of the Jefferson County Bank, but was turned down. A description of him was given the police and Raymond was ar rested at a late hour Friday night
 At that time the police were not aware

Court House Block to Be Paved With
 Vitrified Brick.

Twenty-first street between Third and Fourth avenues will not be paved with asphalt. This was decided yesterday morning at a conference between Mayor Drennen and Chairman Tarrant of the Board of Revenue. Many of the proper ty holders along Twenty-first street re- fused to pay the additional cost of as- phalt so the brick paving will be ex- tended on down the street
 The question of paving the street with asphalt in preference to brick arose from the fact that vehivles passing over the brick paving would disturb those trans- acting business in the court house.
