Picture Post Cards.

There has been some discussion
of late as to who invented the pic
ture post card, and the fad has been
traced back to a German, who first
gave it to the world, it is said, in
1872. But the idea of the thing is
very much older than that, and even
some of its modern manifestations
seem to have been forestalled $50
years ago. Lecky says that 'polit-
ical caricatures, which were proba-
bly, Italian in their origin, came into
fashion in England during the
south sea panic. Caricatures or
cards, which were for time eX
ceedingly popular, were invented b

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food TAD mas
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri'
ment is destroyed by INDIGESTION
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DIR,

HARRY VAUGHAN
 LIKES THE TEAM Says Birmingham Certainly
 Has a Winner ON HIS WAY TO AUBURN Is Little Overweight, But Says He Will Be In Fine Shape By the
 Time He Is Ready to
 Report.

Harry Vaughan. alias Daddy" the premier first baseman of the Southern league, arrived in Birmingham yesterday en route to Auburn where he goes to coach the college team this spring Harry is looking fine and though q little over weight says he will be in fine shape by the time he Is required to report to the Coal Barons for active duty. He says he intends to make a winner out of Au- burn if the material Is at hand and that he will put the boys down to hard work within a few days.
 When told of the Birmingham lineup Harry said that no team in the league had us beat "our outfeld can not be surpassed, said the big first baseman, and If any of them can top the infield they have to get up and dust. Manager O'Brien has not decided on a second base man yet, but all of the men who are to be tried for the place are good ones. do not know much about the pitching staff but from what I can learn we have two or three crack men. Of course, sew eral of the youngsters are experiments but I have no doubt they will make good. Birmingham certainly has the best team she has ever had and we intend to lay 1t over all corners this summer
 Vaughan says that Lynch, the new fielder Is a wonder as a hitter and base runner He thinks 1t will be hard race as to who will hit the highest on the team
 Soon after his arrival Harry met Man ager O'Brien and with Secretary Jackson they went to the ball park and looked at the improvements going on under the direction of Major LaCaste. The trio were greatly pleased with the new beach- CTS and had nothing but complimentary words for the excellent club headquar- ters. The dressing rooms are fitted out in modern style and the room is so ar- ranged that 1t can be heated to any tenn perature desired.
 Manager O'Brien said last night that he was still looking for good timber for second base and that he would land man in plenty of time for the practice season. He has three men on-his string but Is still undecided as to which will be given the place. The main thing the manager has in view is the selection of good hitters and so far he has corralled a great lot. He says he will be able to say by next Sunday who will be the sec- ond baseman. With that gap filled the team will be complete.
