WHAT'S THE USE.
Sticking to Any Habit When Il
 Means Sure Death.

Old King Coffee knocks subjects out tolerably flat at times. and there is no possible doubt of what did it. A lady gives her experience q used to have liver trouble nearly all of the time and was compelled to take some liver medi- cine like calomel which relieved me only for little while. Then every once in a while l would suddenly double up with an awful agony in my stomach. It seem ed as though every time I took q breath 1 would die. No one could suffer any more and live.
 Finally | got down so sick with catarrh of the stomach that I could not turn over in bed. and my stomach did not digest even milk. The doctor finally told me that if I did not give up drinking coffee I would surely die, but felt I could not give up.
 However. Husband brought home n package of Postum Food Coffee and it was made strictly according to directions. It was the only thing that would stay on my stomach, and I soon got so I liked it very much.
 Gradually l began to get better, and week by week gained in strength and health Now l am in perfect condition and l am convinced that the whole cause of my trouble was from coffee drinking and my getting better was due to Ieav- ing off coffee and taking Postum.
 A short time ago I tasted some coffee and found, to my astonishment that I did not care anything about it. I never have 10 take liver medicine any more. I hope you will use this letter for the ben eft of those suffering from the poison ous effects of coffee. l would gladly send to thosye who wish. the address of my attending physician who will corrob- crate what I say" Mrs. Abner Marion, Clinton, Mich.

Birmingham, Jan. S.-(Special.)-Dr J. w. Hughes was the recipient of many congratulations on his reappointment as postmaster at Birmingham, as announced at Washington today. The fight made on Dr. Hughes has been commented on much Hughes In the office, and his ardent support of the party made 1t a forlorn hope almost on the part of those who were after the office or were working against him. Dr. Hughes made good record in the office and the recommenda- tions given him for reappointment were numerous and strong.
 The first announcement received In the city of Dr. Hughes's reappointment came in telegrams from Captain R. F. Kolb, of Birmingham, and Congressman Oscar W. Underwood. Dr. Hughes Is well known all over Alabama, having been prominent in Republican politics for years. George F.

LIEUT.. V. M.. ELMORE|
HE IS GIVEN COMMISSION BY
 PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
With Splendid Record as a volun- teer He is Given Place in Regular Army-other
 Appointments

Washington, D. O., Jan. S.-tSpeciaD-- The President sent to the Senate today for confirmation the following nomipa- tions: Vincent M. Elmore, Jr., of Mont gomery to be Second Lieutenant of in- fantry; James w. Hughes to be post master at Birmingham; Nathan H. AL exander to be receiver of public monies at Montgomery.
 Vincent M. Fillmore. Jr., who was yes- terday named by President Roosevelt to be Second Lieutenant in the regular army, is at present commandant of the corps of cadets at the State University in Tuscaloosa. He is a son of Major Vincent M. Elmore of Montgomery. and saw service in the Twenty-ninth Infan- try, United States Volunteers. during the campaign in the Philippine Islands.
 Lieutenant Elmore was an officer in the anish-American war and made an excellent record. At the outbreak of the war he was an officer in the Montgomery True Blues, which volunteered and was assigned to the 2nd Alabama Volunteer Infantry. The regiment did not see serv- ice but remained encamped at Mobile, Miami. Fla, and Jacksonville. Fla. When it was mustered out Lieutenant Fillmore was assigned to the 3rd Alabama Infan- try, negro regiment. and was later mustered in as Lieutenant in the 29th Volunteer Infantry which was sent to the Philippines. He resigned his com mission as an officer in this regiment to accept an appointment as command ant of the State University where he is now serving.
 Lieutenant Elmore spent the holiday season with his parents in Montgomery. He has already stood an examination and it is understood that he has been accepted as an officer in the regular army. It is probable that he will resign his post at the State University as soon as he is assigned to duty with a regular regiment.
 Nathan H. Alexander, named by the President as receiver of public monies at Montgomery is a negro. If he Is con firmed he will succeed J. c. Leftwich, who is also a. negro.
 Alexander is one of the most intelli- gent and respectable negroes in Mont gomery.

Threee months ago he retired from this firm and since that time has devoted his attention to politics. He has been more or less prominent in Repub- lican politics and is well known by he- publicans throughout the State.
 Dr. James w. Hughes, named by the President as postmaster at Birmingham, is reappointed. He was appointed post master of the Magic City at the begin ming of the first Mckinley administra- ton to succeed w. B. Copeland, Demo- crat appointed by President Cleveland.
