POSTOFFICE SHOWS
 LARGE RECEIPTS
EARNINGS FOR PAST SIX MONTHS WERE $5s,286.5e, BEING $21,135.81 GREATER THAN ENTIRE RE- cEIPTS FOR THE YEAR 1897.

The receipts of the Birmingham post office for the six months ending December 31, 1902 were $s4,572.61 an increase of SIS, ,757 49 over the receipts for the same months in 1901 which were s70,s15.12.
 A comparative statement of postoffice receipts compiled yesterday shows a steady increase for the last few years, and shows that the receipts for the past six months were greater than the entire receipts for 1897.
 Postmaster Hughes gave out the follow ing figures yesterday:
 Gross receipts of Birmingham postoffice from sale of stamps, newspaper postage and box rents for six months ending, De- cember 31, 1900, $5S, S,2s6.5s.
 Receipts from same source for six months ending December 31. 1901, $7o,- S15.12.
 Receipts from same source for six months ending December 31, 1902, 1884, .61. Receipts for the entire twelve months ending June 30, 1897. were only s6S, ,436 S2. This shows that receipts for six months ending December 31, 1902. exceeded re. | ceipts for whole year of 1897 by $21 135. .S1.

AND SO
AND SO She Found How the Coffee Habit Could Be Easily Left of.

My husband had coffee dyspepsia for a number of years" writes a lady from Dundee N Y. Coffee did not agree with him as it soured on his stomach, and he decided to stop it.
 "We felt the need of some warm drink and tried several things but were soon tired of them. Finally a friend told me of the good Postum Food Coffee had done her family, and ordered a package from the grocer.
 We have used 1t for three years with splendid result. It agrees perfectly with his stomach and dyspepsia has entirely left him. I find in talking to people who have used Postum and not liked it that the reason is that they do not let it boil long enough. When prepared according to directions, it makes beautiful, clear, golden, brown beverage like the highest grade of coffee in color.
 I've let the children have Postum every morning and 1t agrees with them nicely and they thrive on 1t. 1 am sure that if everyone using coffee would change to Postum that the percentage of invalids would be far less than 1t is at present" Name given by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek, Mich.
 1t Is easy to change from coffee to Pos tum and the benefit Is sure and quick. for Postum is composed only of the grains intended by Nature for mans subsistence and 1t goes to work in Natures way to correct the disorders caused by coffee and rebuild the broken down blood and nerve.oeils A ten days trial of Postum will prove this to the most skepticp

NEGROES ASK AID
 FOR THEIR COLLEGE
WANT SITE FOR THE NEW COL LEGE UNDER AUSPICES OF THE FREEDMAN AID AND SOUTHERN EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY.

Through efforts on the part of some of the leading colored people of Birming- ham, the M E. conference has selected Birmingham as location for a college to be under the auspices of the Freed man Aid and Southern Educational socie- ty of Cincinnati, O.
 The commission appointed by the con ference met in Birmingham December 30, 1902 The Rev J. R. Buckner, B. G. Smith, Prof. w. c. Davis, the Rev. Dr. Townsend and Dr. U. G. Mason met the commission in behalf of Birmingham to express to them the importance and very great need of the college being located here.
 The commission was convinced that no town or city in the south was in greater need or offered greater advantages than Birmingham for first class college. The committee asks that their white friends who have always shown willing ness to help the colored people, to help themselves will stand by the movement A site for location is needed. They want 1t a reasonable distance from the city limits, if on car line (which would be of great advantage) on such line on which there is no school. so as to prevent un- pleasant clashes which sometimes occur between students.
 They hope that through the various cor porations in and around the city, suit able site will be donated for this college
 Any offer from whatever source, they say, will be received, appreciated and given proper consideration.
 The committee consist of the Rev. R. J Buckner. the Rev. B. G. Smith, the Rev Dr. Townsenr and pr. U. c. Mason.

MERCHANTS G MANUFACTURERS
 COLLECTION ASSOCIATION.

This company was organized the past week., with James L. Tanner, president; R. P. Wetmore, vice president and gen. eral manager, and A. A. Dobyns, secre- tary- treasurer, with offices in the Chali- foux building.
 The company will make a speciality of collections in the city, state or anywhere else. The officers of the company will give 1t their personal attention, which means that all business entrusted to the Merchants and Manufacturers Collec- ton association will be promptly and efficiently attended to.
 The company starts out with very flat tering prospects. as it has already a great many wholesale and retail merchants of the city of Birmingham as clients, which undoubtedly insures the company's suc- cess.
 The officers are well and favorably known, not only in Birmingham but throughout the state, and when they un- dertake any business they certainly push it to successful completion.
 The company will be pleased to attend to any business that may be entrusted to 1t. a

officials in minor places have any right on a ticket. If we were elected by the people we would be bigger than the al- dermen. We would be elected by all the people, while each of. them would be elected by only one-ninth of the people, or the people in their own ward.
 Dr. James E. Dedman I am strongly opposed to any such action. l do not think the minor city officials have re- sponsibility enough to be made account able to the people. They should be held accountable by the heads of depart ments, who are responsible to the citi- zens.
 Alderman George B. Ward: Candidates for the office of chief of police should not go before the primary. The police commission elects all members of the police force, and l am opposed to any in- reference with it's prerogatives. The commission should be left free to act on it's judgment in selecting the chief.
 Street Superintendent.
 B. A.. THOMPSON: I think the heads of each department of the city should be placed or the ticket, but not the subordi- nate officials. The city is spending hun dreds of thousands of dollars a year for public improvements and the people have no sav as to when the money shall be spent and ought to have chance 10 name the head of the street department as well as the heads of other depart ments. The people should be allowed to name the man who shall have control on expending this large amount of money for improvements.
 SIMON KLOTz: What we want Is a good board of police commissioners, and they ought to be able to select their own officers better than the public. l am op- posed to this department mixing in poll tics.
 S CAHEEN: I want only the names Of the candidates for mayor. aldermen and police commissioners put on the ticket. l want to say in this connection that l | hope a board of aldermen will be elect 1 cd which will be in full sympathy with the police commission, and one that VIII supply the police commission with sui ficient funds to employ enough policemen to guard Birmingham day and night. The police commission should eject the officials in the police department. R. V Motley: A more satisfactory serv- ice can be had by keeping the police de- partment out of politics This fact has been clearly demonstrated during the past six months, one patrolman advocat- ing the. candidacy of one man for the office of chief and another nls man. It is demoralizing to the department to have such a state of affairs, and in my opinion it Is impossible, under present eff cumstances to give the public the service they have a right to expect

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
But It Has Proven of Interest and
 Value to. Thousands.

1 Common sense would suggest that if l one wishes to become feshv and plump
 it can only result from the food we eat l and digest and that food, should be al- Luminous or fesh-forming food, like I eggs beefsteak and cereals; in other
 words the kinds of food that make flesh
 are the foods which form the greater | part of our daily bills of fare.
 ] But the trouble is that while we eat I enough, and generally too much, the
 stomach, from abuse and oVerwork, does not properly digest and assimilate it, l which is the reason so many people re- I main thin and under weight; the diges.
 tive organs do not completely digest the 1 flesh forming beefsteak and eggs and sim i liar wholesome food
 l There are thousands of such who are
 really confirmed dyspeptics.. although l they may have no particular pain or in- convenience from their stomachs. If such persons would lay their preju- dices aside and make a regular practice of taking. after each meal, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. the food would be quickly and thoroughly digest ed, because these tablets contain the natural peptones and diastase which every weak stomach lacks, and by sup plying this want the stomach is soon en- abled to regain it's natural tone and vigor. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets digest every form of fesh-forming food-meat, eggs, bread and potatoes-and this is the req = son they so quickly build up, strengthen and invigorate thin, dyspeptic men, women and children.
 Invalids and children, even the most
 delicate, use them with marked benefit
 as they contain no strong. irritating
 drugs. no cathartic nor any harmful in
 gredient fs~
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the most
 successful and most widely known of any
 remedy for stomach troubles because if
 Is the most reasonable and scientific of
 modern medicines.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by every druggist in the United States and
 Canada. as well as In Great Britain. at 50 cents for complete treatment.
