SEVEN TO ONE

Sometimes the weight goes upthat way when taking Scott's Emulsion. Seven pounds of new, healthy flesh from a one pound bottle of Scott's Emul- sion is on record.
 Scott's Emulsion brings everything to its aid; good ap. petite, strong digestion, rich blood, new body strength, and above all the power to get all the good out of ordinary food.
 For those who are in need of more flesh there is nothing better. Thin folks-try itl

will be inferred at the Oak Hill ceme- tary near the grave of his mother. Moth ing which has occurred in Birmingham Tn manysdays so mortified the community as the cruel and untimely ending of the career, Of Dr. Davis, who was distin- gutshed as much by his love for his fel- lows and his sympathy for humanity as ny his skill as physician and surgeon. lie was known to practically every man, woman and child in Birmingham and ex- presslons of regret for his death and sympathy for his family were universal and deeply sincere. Telegrams of sym pathy and regret are being received from all parts of the country by members of Dr. Davis's family.
 Coroner w. D. Paris, who made full investigation of the death of Dr. W. E. E. Davis, examining all the witnesses in the case whom he could reach, and care fully inspecting all the surroundings, scouts the idea that the death of this distinguished physician was due to any other than accidental causes. He stated today: 'The death of Dr. Davis was an accident, pure and simple. When Dr. Davis approached the crossing the flag man waived his red flag and Dr. Davis stopped his horse upon nearing the track upon which tlte Alabama Great Southern train was passing. As he came to a stop he turned the horse to the left, facing the east. There was a space left between the train was passing Dr. Davis got out of the buggy and went to the horses lead, going between the horse and the train. When he reached the head of the horse he caught the bridle and at the same time his foot was caught In one of the rails of the track next to that upon which the train was moving. He gave his foot sharp jerk to release 1t, and as the member was released he lost his balance and fell under the train"

AQNeftlSeE Bureau, Mobile, Feb 25. The Lenten season is on and the scenes of yesterday and the ~ay before in Mo- bile will not be repeated for twelve months to conle. That the MarU Gras Carnival of 1908 was a success hone can dispute. The mystic parades, every one comedies, far exceeded those of former years and the balls were equally as great: The mystic organizat ations, composed or public spirited men, are to be consratu- lated on the successes they achleVed ana to them all honor is due.
 The street cleaning department, the electric workers and others were early this morning at work removing the marks and scars of yesterdays carnival anu where gay bunting and beautiful cleo trical designs were noticed iast night, nothing now remains. While the greater bulk of the visitors got away last night and early this morning, there are yet hundreds of strangers in the clty, many of whom will remain for some time. So- cial functions will be given in their hon. or, albeit the Lenten season Is on apd the visitors win find royal entertainment dur ing their stay.
 While there were many arrests in the city during the two days of festivities, the total does not foot up nearly so great as last year. In the Recorders Court this morning there were 106 cases docketed for the four days from Saturday morning until this morning. The great majority were for minor offenses and the violators were let down light. No cases ot house breaking have been reported. showing the police department did it's work well and faithfully despite the fact that they had been greatly overwofked.
 It is reported that one of Mobiles lead ing citizens, Hon. John Craft, being well pleased with the mystic displays, Is look ing to promoting movement to have the local socities give sicmlar parades at the St. Louis Exposition as an advertise ment of Mobile. The movement, it is un- derstood, will be presented to the manage ment of the Exposition with the hope of having prizes offered for the best dis plays In event this is successful Mobile, 1t is claimed, will stand a fine showing of first prize.

Iron Company Absorbed.

The Crudup Iron Company of Crudup, Ala. and the Oredell Iron Company of Oremont Ga, have been absorbed by the Lacey-Buek Company of this city, owners of the Trussville furnace. The rumor was very persistent this morning in making this announcement, but noth- ing authoritative could be ascertalned on account of the absence from the city of c. E. Buck of that corporation. Tho story, however, Is accepted as absolutely correct, and the properties will be con- siderably more developed, as additional men will be put to work at both places and the output considerably increased
 At the Crudup mines the output will be increased to not less than 1000 tons daily. and the Oredell property will likewise he additionally developeu. The Crudup property consists of some of the best rod ore lands in the State, and the railroad facilities are better than for some time past. The property of the Oredell Com pany consists of brown ore lands, classed as among the best in Georgia, being just over the State hne. The consideration could not be ascertained with accuracy, but 1t is stated as several hundred thou sand dollars.

A" WORD WITH THE
 HOUSE-KEEPERS.

As nearly as every one knows Baking Powder is a substance used for aeratng bread or making it rise. If Baking Powder is comH posed of the right materials. carefully blended together in exact proportions, 1t remains in per- feet condition long as 1t is kept away from aiE and moisture As soon as water is added to baks ing Powder the different chemlcals at once begin to act upon each other, and in 80 doing, liberats gas which, in escaping, raises the bread and makes it porous. The value of Baking Powder depends upon the amount of gas 1t will generate. "GOOD LUCK" will generate the largest amount of kas (1B per cent) and, therefore re- quires only one rounded teaspoonful of Powder to the quart of flour.
