 It was through the courtesy of J. B.

THE EDITORS BRAIN Did Not Work We'll Under Coffee.

brain workers health is often Injured by coffee. badly selected food and sedentary habits. The experience of the managing editor of one of the most pros porous newspapers in the middle west, with Postum Food Coffee illustrates the necessity of proper feeding for the man who depends on his brain for living.
 Up to three years ago." writes this gentleman. T was a heavy coffee drink CT. l knew 1t was injuring me. It direct ly affected my stomach and l was threat ened with chronic dyspepsia 1t was then that my wife persuaded me to try Postum Food Coffee. The good results were so marked that I cannot say too much for 1t. When first prepared I did not fancy 1t, but inquiry developed the fact that the cook had not boiled it long enough. so next time I had 1t properly made and was charmed with it. Since that time coffee has had no place on my table save for guests. Both myself and wife are fond of this new cup which cheers but does not inebriate' in much truer and filter sense than coffee My stomach has re- stunned its normal functions and I am now we'll and strong again mentally and phy- sically.
 'I am confident that coffee Is a poison to many stomachs. and I have recom- mended Postum with great success to a number of my friends who were suffering from the use of coffee. Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

MIR. RAMBoW'S CANDIDACY.
His Election as Alderman From the
 Second Ward Seems Assured.

MT. Christian T. Rainbow, candidate for alderman from the Second ward, is evi- dently making winning fight for the po- sition he seeks as member of the city council. His friends and supporters claim that he will not only be elected by a large majority, but that he will lead all the other candidates for municipal honors in the size of vote cast for him.
 When MT. Rainbow formally announced his candidacy a short time ago, his many friends immediately went to work with an enthusiasm that guarantee success, pointing to their candidates record in private and public life as the qualification fitting him for the position he aspires to.
 As a member of the board of alderman from 1896 to 1900. MT. Rainbow was rec ognized as one of the strong men of that body. The ward represented by him, the Second. secured more Improvements in the way of streets, sewers and sidewalks than ever before for any length of time He was chairman of the market commit tee and is father of the present meat and milk inspection law, creating the office of meat and milk inspector By the adop- tion of this ordinance alone, more good has resulted than can well be calculated
 While member of the city council MT. Rainbow always took an active interest in everything looking to the improvement and broadening of Birmingham and it's policy, but was wise and conservative with all. .+s

REV. J. (. MURRAY
 LIKES BALTIMORE
HE TALKS OF HIS VISIT AND WILL SOON ANNOUNCE DECISION IN REGARD TO ST. MicHAEL'S CALL.

The Rev. John G. Murray and Mrs. Murray returned from Baltimore yester- day, and MT. Murray will conduct his reg ular services today at the Church of the Advent.
 MT Murray says that his visit to Balti- more was the source of much pleasure and that he was most nospltably enter tained during his stay in that cityt He found that the Church of St. Michael and All Angels, to which he has received a call, was in a beautiful locality, and that the field for work was large. The church proper has 140O communicants and 200 in the missions in connection with the church.
 While in Baltimore MT. Murray attenG- ed seven services and made addresses at four.
 He says that he will announce to his vestry his final decision as to his call the, early part of this week..
 MT. Murray has received many letters from friends asking him to remain, and he says none has touched him more than a letter he found on his return from Bal ltimore from the Boys Industrial school, signed by each boy, asking him to re- main in this parish.
 If MT. Murray should leave Birming- ham it would be a source Of deep regret not only to his own congregation, but to the people of Birmingham in general.

HOLD UPS
 AND BURGLAR|ES None of the Crimes Reported Last Week Sensational QUESTION OF MORE POLICE It Is Thought There Should Be Large Increase In Police Department.
 About Fast and Reck-
 less Driving.
QUESTION OF MORE POLICE

The past week has been singalarly lacking in highway robberies and burg laries, when compared with the past five or six weeks. There were probably twelve burglaries reported to the police, and one highway robbery. but none of the crimes were sensational, and all were devoid of the daring shown early in the winter.
 Only one right during the week were there as many as a half dozen burglaries reported It is feared that ths is the calm before the storm, as It is not be- lieved that all the nighwaymen and burglars have left the city.
 As every one recalls that for two or three weeks before Christmas and during Christmas week there was an epidemic of crime which the police, owing to tho comparative smallness of the force, we're unable to cope with.
 The sang of negroes arrested stopped the robberies and burglaries for few days, but later criminals broke out agaIn and the climax was cached when high waymen tied man to his bed and set the house on fire after robbing tie safe.
 From that time the number of crimes has decreased gradually, but hold-ups are still frequent enough to keep timid peo- pie well within doors at night.
 The need of more police has been dem- onstrated by this series of crimes, and 1t promises to be one of the issues in the coming election People are much more interested in having their homes pro- tected than in a number or other ques- tions which are being discussed, and it seems to be the general opinion that the force should be at least doubled.
 One of the important arguments for in- creasing the department is that there should be sufficient men to protect ladies on the prominent street crossings, and arrest all drivers who go past these cor ners faster than a walk. One lady was knocked down and slightly injured last week. and only a short time before that another fell in trying to keep from under the feet of pair of mules driven to a coal wagon.
