Danger OF Colds and La Grippe

The greatest danger from colds and
la grippe is their resulting in pneu-

who have used this remedy for these
diseases, we have yet to learn Of a
single case having resulted in pneu-
monia, which shows conclusively that
it is a certain preventive of that dan
gerous malady. 1t will cure a cold OF
an attack of la grippe in less time
than any other treatment. 1t is plea
ant and safe to take. For sale by the

 Month of January.

The weather reports of yesterday shox that weather conditions were then still unsettled over the eastern half of the country. well defined atmospheric de- prsssion was then central over Mississip- pi. giving continued light to moderately heavy rains over the South and north eastward through Virginia. with sleet or snow over the Northeast, and thence westward through the lake region. At the same time another disturbance was developing over Western Texas. and the chances for settled fair weather over this region were very slim. Indeed. the only bright feature in the entire weather aggregation yesterday. was high bank of cold air then spreading southeastward from Idaho. If this cold. dense air con- tinues it's southezsteriy movement. there is some prospect af It's clearing. some what colder over this Section during the latter part of today.

WOMAN BADLYBRUISED MRS DOOM CHILDRESs BEATEN BY ALE SANDERS. He Had Been Using Rough Lan- guage in Her House-Re-
 sented Being Ordered
 to Leave.

Tuscaloosa, Feb. h-(Speciai. )--Last night Mrs. Odon1 Childress was danger ously beaten by young man. Ali San ders, at her home on South Side. San ders has been paying attention to Miss Mahala Stile. the daughter of Mrs. Chil- dress, and while there last evening. he was heard using rough language. Mrs. Childress ordered him out of the house. He became most abusive and dragged her out on the gallery and beat her. 1t is said. Her arms were badly bruised and for sometime they were thought to be broken. Reports in the early evening stated that she was killed, but 1t proved that she was painfully but not seriously hurt. Sheriff Kyle and Chief McGill were telephoned for, but Sanders had made his escape and a search of several hours proved unavailing.
 The rumor that has been afioat in re- gard to the buying, of the Home Tele- phone Company by the Southern Bell Telephone Company, was confirmed yes terday by Mir. R. P. Prowell. He stated that it was almost impossible to keep a line in the proper condition in the city, on account of the large trees. The Southern Bell will raise the price to $3.O0 in places of business and to $2. co for resi- dences. The Home telephones will be re- placed as rapidly as possible with the Bell phones and switched to that office. Large cables will be used on all streets where the trees would interfere.
 Work has begun on the postoffice an mex, a large arch Is being made to con- meet the two. The new building will be used for the money order and registry department.
 Mir Robert Ho1eman of Birmingham has purchased ten acres of land from Mir. J. M Ward in West End. The amount paid for same was $500. He has also rented the VanHoose place. which en- braces about twenty acres and adjoins the property which he purchased from Mir. Ward. The entire area will he de- voted to truck farming. Ten acres will he used for the raising of strawberries. MT. Holeman says that he expects to supply the local market and says that he will also ship to Cincinnati. Work is un- der good headway and In a very short while Tuscaloosa will have a first-class truck farm.

EATIAa IN HAVANA. Yankees Club Together.

In Havana 1t is the custom to serve only bread and coffee foRshreakfast A little colony of AmericahA that felt they could not do their work until noon on this kind of a diet ciubbed together and began importing Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food
 One of them writing about the matter. says: "The modern cooking range had never been known in Cuba until the American occupation. and even now they are scarce, so that a ready cooked food like Gfape-Nu recommends itself to start with; then the Yankees were &C., customed to the food and felt they could hardly get along without it. They began buying in five case lots and one by ono the larger grocery stores began keeping Grape-Nuts in stock so the business spread until now great quantities of Grape-Nuts are used in Cuba, and 1t is not only used by the Americans but the other inhabitants as we'll
 This Is an illustration of the way the famous food has pushed itself into all parts of the world. Whenever English speaking people go. they demand Grape Nuts. They can be found in South Afri- ca, Egypt, India, China, Japan, Austra- Iia and South America.
 Many Americans speak of the home like feeling 1t gives them to see the numberless busses in the streets of Lon don decorated with great blue signs with the word, Grape Nuts" done in yellow letters, and all over England the great purveying shops distribute Grape-Nuts.
 English roast beef has largely given way to American roast beef, and the old fashioned English breakfast of bacon and potatoes is now supplemented with Grape-Nuts and cream. The change was made for a reason. It has been discov- cred that almost magical power rests within the little Eranules. and this power is set free in the body that makes use of the famous food.

How in the world that Secretary, or any of his associatts, managed to read my writing do not know. but the sequel proved that some handwriting expert was around.

If I had known who the man was l think I would have declined to meet him but I was taken anawares. When he made his business known and showed 6pe my. letter, I realized for the first time that had slipped cog. so to speak, for the letter was officially signed Well, the way I sduirmed and Wrigsled: how my teeth chattered. and the torture felt at the prospect of being fiayed alive. drawn and quartered, soused into cauldron of boiling oil or made to suffer some equally horrible fatos gave me cold chills up my spine for years. The inspector was not unkind in his de- gosling. but proceeded to grow eloquent when writing the letter. and of how had merely wanted to save the country. l do not recall what the inspector de- manded of me. if anything. as he proha- bly did not but if he told me that I must come out and support Grant and Colfax I am afraid promised him that would ] do remember. however. that he took on Littimer expression of countenauce as he looked me in the eye, and said. in substance: Kid, you are very fresh: : fresh enough for the cows to bite. Don't expose yourself as you go home this af- ternoon." And remember that I felt David Copperfieldish, and guessed he was right about 1t. How gladly I saw my friend board the "up train" that af- ternoon. never could express: neither could the deep chagrin and humiliat tion I felt when. several months later, found that my sweetness had been vast ed on the desert air" and that Grant and Colfax had been elected by a majority of 305 456.

Not to Be Left in the Procession. Mobile Register.
 Hawaii has almost been forgotten dur ing the rows over Cuba and the Philip pines. but Hawaii has been having time of 1t. Politics has got a good start in that little territory. and Governor Dole has been deposed, through the influence of ring. The leader of this ring is Harold NJ Seawell. who came into public notice by reason of his fathers nomina- tion to the vice-presidency on the Bryan ticket. The curtSus fact was mentioned that Seawelfs son was Republican. He had been a Democrat and served as consul general at Samoa under Cleveland. He resigned and turned Republican, and got an appointment from President Har- rison. Settling in Hawaii he was can didate for the governorship, but was de- feated by Dole. He did not take defeat gracefully but organized opposition and has so managed his businesa- as to gain the support of the President. Dole's res- ignation has been called for, but the gen. eral oninion is that great injustice has been done him. The Chicago Record Herald declares that. "He has been dis charged under fire, with an absolute bru- tai disregard of his character and ser vices"
