Was Injured in the Collision a Week Ago Between an East Lake Gar and a Louisville 6 Nashville Freight Train.
It Was First Thought Her Inlu- ries Were Not Serious, But Blood Poison Set in Causing Death.

Miss Annie Mae Ward of East Lake died yesterday afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock at Tally & McAdory's sanitarium from the effects of the injuries she re- ceived the preceding Saturday when an East Lake street ear was run into and wrecked by a "eut" of freight cars of the Louisville and Nashville railroad at the Twenty-seventh street crossing. Miss Ward improved rapidly until yes- terday morning about 5 o'clock, when she showed signs of being worse. From that time until she died her condition became rapidly worse, and the physicians saw there was very little chance cf her recov- cry. Blood poisoning was the cause of death. It set in from the wounds she re- ceived about her head in the wreck.
 The funeral services will be conducted this afternoon at o'clock from the First Baptist church in East Lake, and the in- torment will be in he East Lake ceme- tery.
 Miss Ward was considered one of the most beautiful young women in the neighborhood of Birmingham. She lad a host of friends who have snxiously in

quired of her condition daily since the ac- cident week ago, and who will learn with sorrow of her death. She was F ye9rs old and was very popular. She is the only one If those injured in the wreck to die. Her injuries were caused by a heavy piece of wood being driven against the left side of her face, breaking the lower jaw bone in two places and dislo- eating the nalor bone. Her injuries we're not at first considered serious, but when careful examination was made it was found that she was more dar gerously in- jured than shown by, the first nasty ex- animation.
 Miss Ward was the daughter of Mrs. F. E. Besher, who lives on Underwood ave- nre, in East Lake. The remains will be carried there this morning from Taylor & Co.'S undertaking establishment. and will be taken to the church this sfter- noon.

STEP BY STEP. Coffee Gets in Its Fine Work.

Watch coffee drinkers and observe that practically everyone of them has some form of incipient or fixed disease.
 Mrs. F. N. Wright, of San Francisco, Cal, tells her experience: "I was 20 years old before I ever knew the taste of coffee, and before l commenced drinking 1t, I was never troubled in the least with constipation, but after drinking coffee for one year, I became constipated to such a degree that 1 had to resort to drugs to overcome 1t.
 After three years drinking coffee, I had cultivated chronic state of constipation and other annoying symptoms became manifest. The first thing in the morning I had a headache come on, a feeling oi nausea, and these symptoms would per sist until I had drunk a quantity of cof- fee. At first, I did not associate these symptoms with the habit of coffee drink ing 1 thought my system must be run down, and I felt glad that coffee. instead of prescribed drugs would relieve the weakness. Like many people. l did not reason from cause to effect
 About this time I had an elderly nurse in my employ, who complained every morning of similar symptoms, and when I suggested mineral water. etc, to her for her biliousness, she said, Nothing in the world but my coffee will relieve me. when feel so badly My husband began to complain, if he did not get his coffee at certain time. of queer sensations in the stomach and head. l became alarmed at these coincidences, and came to the conclusion that coffee had as strong hold on us as whisky has with the veriest drunkard. About this time, I was taken i'll with inf1ammatory rhuematism. and the two doctors who attended me, told me I would have to stop drinking coffee or remain cripple as they could not treat me if I persisted in using a drug stronger than the drug I needed.
 My husband and agreed to try an ex- pertinent and commenced the use of Pos tum Food Coffee. The effect was marvel ous and taught us some valuable truths, and now we would not touch cup of coffee for anything. His business de- mands the utmost concentration of brain force continuously He now looks like a new man; he has had no headaches or bilious attacks for some months, and di- gests all his food without any distress. feel sure that he would have been wreck if he had kept on. with coffee
 After I began using Postum, soon re- covered from my attack of rheumatism, and in a few weeks, could walk about again. I am no longer troubled with con- stipation, headaches, nausea or rheu- matism. I firmly believe that the con- tinued use of coffee becomes in time as hurtful to the human system as alcoholic stimulants. I know my case and my huband's both demonstrate this clearly"

CAMP HARDEE WILL
 FURNISH COTTAGE
ar A MEETING OF THE CAMP YES TERDAY IT WAS DECIDED TO EXTEND $500 IN FURNISHING ITS COTTAGE.

According to the report made by the Camp Hardee cottage committee at the meeting of the camp yesterday after noon, the cottage at the Mount Pleasant soldiers home will be completed by Oc- tober 15 and ready for it's occupants. A committee of three from the camp was appointed yesterday by Commander J. B. Francis to arrange a suitable programme for the dedication of the cottage, and arrangements are being made for the en- tire camp to go to Mount Pleasant and take part in the dedieatory exercises.
 The committee on arrangements and programme consists of Dr. J. c. Aber- nathy Sam Robertson and Samuel Vance. They will commence working on the ar engagements at once and will be ready to report in a few days.
 The camp decided yesterday to raise an additional $500 to be used in better equip ping the cottage and adding some im- provementS which were not included in the original plans. These improvements were made at the request of Capt. J. M. Falkner, who promised that it would not cost the camp any extra money, but the members of the camp decided that they would rather raise the money and have the entire credit and ownership of the cottage than to ask help from others. The committee which had charge of rais- ing the former funds will also. raise this additional amount, and it expects to have no trouble in doing so.
 Camp Hardee has one aged veteran at the home now but no applications have been received from others. It is expected, however, that as soon as 1t becomes known that the cottage is completed a number of applications will be received.

NO COAL FAMINE.
Strike of Miners Has Not Affected
 Prices So Far.

It has been reported that there was danger of coal famine in Birmingham on account of the great demand for coal in the north and east, caused by the strike in the anthracite regions. The ru- nor is denied by prominent coal men, who say the only trouble is the lack of cars to handle the coal which is being mined fin the district.
 It was stated yesterday by coal mine owner that the mines could ship thirty three and one-third more coal if they could get the cars to handle it. He said coal had not increased in price in Dir mingham on account of the anthracite coal strike, or on account of the strike of the miners of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company. The strike of the later he said, did not affect the price of coal much. as the company used practi- eally all of it's output.
