SUNDAY. AUGUST IF, 1sOs.
HEROIC CANVASS.

Never were more timely words writ ten than those contained in a commu- nication on this page of today's Ad- wertiser signed "Alabamian"
 1t brings out in startling contrast ths methods being pursued in the cam paigns of the two candidates for Gov ernor, Anyone can see that there is a lavish use of money on the Conner side ana absolutely none on the other The postage alone on the two mule dray loads of matter sent out through the maiis by Conner and his commit tee amounts up into the thousands of dollars and this Is only one of the many ways in which money is being spent in his behalf.
 He boasts in all his speeches that he has been successful as farmer. it is not unreasonable, therefore, to believe that he is furnishing every cent of the large fund that is used In his behalf.
 Dr. Cunningham is opposed to any money display in this campaign and even if he had the most unlimited means would depend on securing suc- cess in another and better way. He is not. however, a man of wealth and has not been able to keep up an or Aranizataon, which could direct his campaign and conduct 1t in unexcep- 1ionab1e way.
 'AIabamian" strikes a true note when he urges the friends of this splendid Christian gentleman and statesman to bestir themselves and look after his interests. The time is short in which to work, but much can bs accomplished in the next two weeks. A man like "Alabamian" in every community can accomplish won- derful results for the good cause.

BREWERS FIGHT OHIO LAW
Validity of All Acts of Last LegisIa-
ture to he Attacked on Con-
stitutiOnaI Grounds.

CINCINNATI, April 6.-An attack on the
legality Of the present legislature is tho
main point in legal proceedings 20 be started
by the National Liquor Dealers associat alton
in an attempt to overthrow the temperance
legislation enacted during the session just
closed. The statement was made today by
Attorney Dudley Wayne of the Brewers
exchange of this city. The attacking brief
will consist of allegations that Lieutenant
Governor Harris suppressed a free and full
discussion in the senate when he declared
the Akin bill passed, and the local option
bill by its provisions prevents free express
sion by the elective franchise.
The protesting brief will be an attack on
everything accomplished by the legislature
including the Cincinnati investigating com.
mittee and the appropriation bills. Mr.
Wayne claims that the adoption last fall
OF the constitutional amendment providing
for the election of all state officers in even
numbered years operated to extend the term
OF the last session members and there
should be an election in 1906. the present
session, according TO his statement having
no standing. The validity OF the election
of officers in every county and even the
administration Of Governor Pattison will be
involved.

congress that in his opinion 30 per cent
Of the whole product prior to the imposI-
ton of any taxes on alcohol was con-
sumed in the arts and industries Conse-
quently with a population of 900 in
1850, we used, industrially and for fuel and
light. 30,000,000 gallops-that Is, one gallon
of alcohol per capita. Leaving out Of con-
sideration the great inventions which have
come since 1850, other new uses and Inn
proved methods, the same proportion would
bring our use of denatured alcohol today
up to 100000 gallons annually. 1t will
be far greater than that.
Mr. McGavin Of Illinois spoke in behalf
of larger facilities for the Chicago post
office.
Mr. w. w. Kitchen of North Carolina
opposed the special subsidy for railway
mail facilities from Washington to Atlanta
and New Orleans and from Kansas City
TO Newton, Kan. He said these special APP
pIications were among the first to be recon-
mended for discontinusnce by the post
master general.
Mr.. Bird of Mississippi addressed the
house on the subject OF protection.
Without touching the merits of the post
Office appropriation bill, which nominally
was under discussion, the house at 5:15
adjourned until noon tomorrow.

DAVID HARUM'S HAUNTS
Where the winters are Cold and
the SHOWS Deep.

Writing from the vicinity David Harum
made famous, a man says that he was an
habitual coffee drinker, and. although he
knew It was doing him harm. was too
obstinate to give it up, till all at once he
went to pieces with nervousness and in
somnia, loss OF appetite, weakness, and a
generally used-up feeling, which practically
united him for his arduous occupation,
and kept him on a couch at home when his
duty did not call him out.
while in this condition Grape-Nuts food
was suggested TO me, and abandoning
coffee, began to use It,. Although IL was
in the middle OF winter and the thermome-
ter was often below zero, my entire living
for about six weeks of severe exposure was
Grape-Nuts. with a little bread and butter
and a cup Of hot water, till l was wise
enough TO make Postum Food Coffee my
table beverage.
After the first two weeks I began TO
feel better and during the whole winter
never lost a trip on my mail route. fire.
auently being on the road seven or eight
hours at a time The constant marvel to
me was how a person could do the amount
OF work and endure the fatigue and hard
ship as L did, on so small an amount of
food. But l found my new rations so per.
fectly satisfactory that I have continued
them--using both Postum and Grape-Nuts
at every meal. and often they comprise
my entire meal. All my nervousness, irri-
liability and insomnia have disappeared.
and healthy natural sleep has come back
to me-
But what has been the greatest sur
prise to me is the fact that with the bene-
M to my general health has become a
