AFTER SICKNESS
Our Druggist, D. G. Fowler, Tells How
 to Regain Strength.

Owing to this ehangeable climate and unreasonable weather there has been good deal of sickness in Mont gomery during the past few weeks p said our leading druggist, F. G. Fowler. and we want to say to the people of Montgomery that the one thing to aid recovery after sickness is to give the patient blood building and strength restoring tonic, one that will create an appetite and give strength to every or gan in the body"
 Now" continued MT Fowler. from an intimate knowledge of almost every medicine on the market, we do moi believe there is another remedy in the country equal to our delicious cod liver oil preparation, Yinol, for this pur- pose.
 "Vinol is not q patent medicine. as everything in it is named on the back label of every bottle; it contains every one of the Bodybuilding elements of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh cods' liver, but without 8 drop of the sytem- -clogGing oil to upset the stom- ach and retard its work.
 It acts directly on the stomach, tones up the digestive organs, creates a healthy appetite, makes pure, rich, red blood. healthy flesh and muscle tissue, and creates strength for every organ in the body.
 Mir. Edgar A. Howe of Concord, N. H. says that after long, severe sick ness he was weak and emaeiated, all tonics seemed of no avail, but Viuol restored in a marvellous manner, health, strength and appetite.
 If Vinol fails to build up the run down and couvalescent, give new life and strength to the aged, cure stomach troubles hard colds and hanging-on coughs, we oheerfully refund every dollar paid us for it." E. O. Fowler. Druggist.

sMoTHERED IN SEED FILE.
DecOmposed Body of Negro Boy FOun

DecOmpOHed Body of Negro Boy Found At oil Plant.
 The deeomposed body of William Blaiock, a negro boy, was discovered at 2:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon in pile of cotton seed at .he plant or the Alabama Cotton oil Company, cor ner of Hull and Pollard streets. The unrecognizable mass of human flesh was horribly decomposed and 1t seemed as if the boy had been dead week or more. His remains were in tered late yesterday afternoon.
 The body was discovered by Robert Christian. a negro laborer, employed at the plant. Early yesterday after noon he began work digging into a large bank of cotton seed in the notrh- east corner of the building The body was found In the cotton seed. Chris tian informed Superintendent T.. E. Besson of his lind and the superinten- dent notified the police and the coro-
 When Coroner Tioe and Mounted PatroImen Taylor and Crossland reached the scene a negro had sue ceeded in digging out the body
 After an investigation, 1t was ascer- tained that the boy was prooaoly twelve or fourteen years old He had worn knee brooches, blue shirt and 4 coat that was very much too large for him, as it could be seen that the sleeves were rolled up on the end. The verdict of the coroner was that the boy had smothered to death but how he fell into the cotton seed the coroner could not determine. He eX- pressed the opinion that they boy had been dead about three or four weeks. The body. when found. was buried at depth of about nine feet under the cotton seed.
 In large cotton oil plants, 1t is cus- tomary to bank the seed into large piles At times, the seed becomes warm and the temperature is reduced by the digging of holes several feet deep at intervals in the piles of seed. The supposition Is that the negro boy crept into one of these holes to sleep and that, while there, the seed caved in and he was smothered.
 The body was identified late in the day as that of William Blaloek
 Coroner Tlce called in a negro un- dertakeT and the remains were car ried to the cemetery where ...ey were inferred.

The persistent effect upon the heart of caffeine in coffee cannot but re- suit in the gravest conditions, in time.
 Each attack of the drug (and that means each cup of coffee), weakens inc organ a little more, and the end is almost a matter of mathematical demonstration A lady writes from a Western State
 II am of German descent and it was natural that I should learn at a very early age to drink coffee. Until I was 23 years old I drank scarcely anything else at my meals.
 "A few years ago l began to be af- fected by a steadily increasing nerv- ousness, which eventually developed into a distressing heart trouble that made me very weak and miserable Then, some three years ago, was add ed asthma in its worst form. My suf- ferings from these things can be bet ter imagined than described.
 During all this time my husband realized more fully than I did that eof- Tee was injurious to me, and made every effort to make me stop.
 ''Finaliy it was decided a few months ago. to quit the use of coffee ab- solutely, and to adopt Postum Food Coffee as our hot table drink. l had but little idea that 1t would help me, but consented to try it to please my husband. l prepared it very carefully, exactly according to directions, and was delighted with its delicious flavor and refreshing qualities.
 Just as soon as the poison from the coffee had time to get out of my system the nutritive properties of the Postum began to build me up, and am now fully recovered from all my nervousness, heart trouble and asth- ma. l gladly acknowledge that now, for the first time m years, l enjoy perfect health, and that l owe it all to Postum."
