Montevallo. March Special. )-The last issue of The Monteya1lo Sentinel was published here yesterday. Next week 1t wilt be transferred to Colnmbfana.
 Four years ago H. D. Whitaker, com meDced the publication of The Sentinel here and for Tour years no man ever worked harder for the upbuilding of a community than he. Starting in with practically no, circulation, The Sentinel now goes to every postoffice in the coun- ty. all over the State, and to many dist ant States. With an old-fashioned hand press nearly half century old, The appearance of any weekly paper in the State.
 l. Is with a feeling of keen regret com mon amongst each and every citizen. that MT. Whitaker leaves Montevallo. Hts paper has become a power in county politics, and the citizens of Columbiana realizing this fact, made him such in- ducemeuts that he reluctantly accepted In the recent Court House fight he es- pcGsed Columbiana's side and with his force and logic was largely instrumental in winning the fight. His presence at the county seat during the coming political campaign, in which Shelby County hopes to bury Populism forever, is much de- sued. .r.4s
 It will still be The Sentinel at Colum- blana. but to the, regret of all here 1t will not be The Montevallo Sentinel. Mir.

Excess fat Is disease. It Is caused by imperfect assimilation of food. Nutriment which should go into muscle, sinew bone, brain and nerve does not go there, but piles up in the form of superfuous fat, which clogs the human machinery and congresses the vital organs of the human body and endangers health and life.
 My new obesity Food, taken at meal time, compels perfect assimilation of the food and sends the food nutriment where 1t belongs, 1t requires no dieting or star vation process. You can eat all you want. It makes muscle, bone, sinew. nerve and brain tissue. out of excess fat. and quick ly reduces your, weight to normal It takes off the big stomach and relieves the compressed condition and enables the heart to act freely and the lungs to ex- pand naturally and the Kidneys and liver to perform their functions in natural manner.

FOODS WORK How It Cured Paralysis.

Paralysis comes from weak nerves ana bad blood and is often cured nowadays by proper feeding.
 For fifteen years I was an invalid. haven't walked a step for over twelve years, not able to move my feet, or even my toes.
 But recently a wonderful thing has happened for I had never expected to have the use of my limbs again; a four months diet of Grape-Nuts Food for breakfast and supper, made the chaneo and now just think of 1t. I can move my toes freely on my left foot and a little on the right foot. and can let the foot piece on my chair down and swing my feet vigorously. which I think is a won derful improvement for the time I have used the food.
 And that is not all My blood and my stomach are so much better I am confi. dent my trouble came from too much rich food and an overstrain of the nerves. but my nerves are much better, my mind Is clearer and I don't forget things like I did. It must be the food for stopped taking medicine years ago for the paraIy- sis.
 "Of course I have the sympathy and prayers of many Christians, but 1t is wonderful what good pure food will do for one out of health. and why would it not be as good to keep one's health upf have heard lots of people praise Grape Nuts, but for one cannot praise is enough" Name given by Postum Com pany. Battle Creek. Mich.
 Here was a well defined case of paraiy- sis which came from weakened nerves and blood trouble. and which began yielding almost immediately when proper food, GFape-Nuts. was substituted for improper food. There's a reason.

Virginia Likely to Allege Restraint
 of Trade.

Virginia Likely to Allege Restraint
 of Trade. Richmond Special to Baltimore Sun.
 That the State of Virginia will shortly bring suit in the Federal courts against the Pennsylvania Railroad seems almost foregone conclusion. The recent decis- ion in the Northern Securities case VIII bring to head the movement which has been contemplated heretofore, the ground being acts on the part of the railroad company which have resulted in restraint of trade.
 The Pennsylvania controls the Chesa- peake and Ohio and the Norfolk and Western Railroads and Is ale ged to he dis crimina ting against all Virginia ports in favor of Pennsylvania in the coal-earry- ing trade and in the winter through busi- ness, which includes grain, flour and the products of the packing houses
 The chief complaint comes from the southwest part of the State, where 1t is alleged by the coal operators that this discrimination prevents. their product from reaching points of distribution and sale, while coal of an inferior grade mined In Pennsylvania Is put on the market without any trouble.
