Every once in awhile Mr.. Edison or
someone else has discovered some
thing that is going to put the horse
out of business forthwith. But the
horse refuses to be put out. He has
come to stay. Over in Washington
and Oregon horses are in strong de-
mand and buyers are securing the
country for good draft teams for the
Seattle market, while there is strong
request for horses to be used in rail-
road construction work The farmers
of the coast are finding that there is
good money in the business and are
going into horse raising on an extern
sive scale. There is also a strong
demand for good horses in Montana
and there appears to be a growing in
terest in the industry Fine stock is
being introduced and it will only be a
few years before the growers of this
state will have something to show for
their trouble, both in cash and finely
bred horses. Man cannot be separated
from the horse. For general utility
there is nothing that can take his
place.

OYSTER SUPPER TONIGHT

North Birmingham April 1S.-tSpecial) Officials of the new soil pipe company that is seeking location in the Birming- ham district were in the city yesterday looking over the different sites available for their purpose They were much i'm pressed with the advantages that this town offers and from intimations made Il is practically sure that this plant will be added to the list of those already operat ing here.
 One of the officials of the company was here several months ago, and secured an option on a considerable tract of desira- ble land. Although the exact location of this property has not been made public. 1t is understood that 1t is well situated in regard to water and transportation fla cilities. This Will doubtless be the site chosen.
 In discussing the coming of the new industry, a well known real estate man was heard to remark that as far as he knew, for the past two years, since the municipal water works system had proven such a success, there has not been a single plant that has investigated the con- QlllOISs dl NOIln blIllinBfldul dilu Illltll located anywhere else. He stated that out of eleven industries that started up in the Birmingham district during last year. ten selected North Birmingham as the most desirable place to be found, and that the eleventh never even looked for location here. In view Of all this. 1t seems that 1t is only necessary for s manufacturer to investigate local conditions to become con vinced of the superior Inducements that this town offers to industrial plants. The same gentleman predicts that at least twenty-five substantial industries will lo- cate in North Birmingham within the next five years.
 Ten or twelve boys and young men were given hearing in the police court this morning on the charge of assaulting an- other young man. It seems that the last mentioned young man was returning home after having escorted young lady from church Sunday night, when the band fell upon him and inflicted some bodily injuries.
 However, sufficient evidence was not brought in to court, Acting Mayor c. NJ. Green released the supposed culprits and it was deemed advisable to suppress the names.

NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN
 HIS STOMACH,

Let the grei sst athlete have dyspepsia and his muscles would soon fail. Physi- cal strength Is derived from food. If man has insufficient food he loses strength. If he has no food he dies. Food is con verted into nutrition through the stom- ach and bowels. It depends on the strength of the stomach to what extent food eaten is digested and assimilated. People can die of starvation who have abundant food to eat, when the stomach and it's associate organs of digestion and nutrition m do not perform their duty. gan of the body. If the stomach is rweak1 the body will be weak also, because it is upon the stomach the body relies for it's strength. And as the body, considered as whole, is made up of it's several mem bers and organs, so the weakness of the body as consequence of weak" stom- ach will be distributed among the or gans which compose the body. If the body IS weak because it is ill-nourished that physical weakness will be found in all the organs-heart, liver, kidneys, etc. The liver will be torpid and inactive, giving rise to biliousness, loss of appetite, weak nerves, feeble or irregular action of heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache, backache anG kindred disturbances and weaknesses.
 Mir. Louis Pare. of Quebec writes: vFor grew dizzy eyes pained me. and my stomach was sore all the time, while everything I would eat would seem to lie heavy like lead on my stomach.

solve all marriages made by parties to such divorces afterward, and all children of those subsequent marriages will be- come illegitimate and will be unable to in herit property from their parents.
 The decision of the United States su- preme court revolutionary though it may seem, is extremely simple in it's actual bearing. In the first place it must be understood that it does not concern any divorce case whatsoever where there has been, actual service upon the defendant and where the defendant actually has ap- peared In court in person or by an at torney. It does not concern any divorce case whether the defendant is present in court or not, when the orense for which divorce is granted was committed within the Jurisdiction of the court
 The decision of the supreme court ex- pressed in the brlefest possible form is:
 Effect Will be Wide Spread.
 That no court can grant valid di- vorce unless the defendant Is personally within the jurisdiction of the court or unless the offense for which the divorce is granted was committed within the Jurisdiction of the court
 Tt is easy to see how widespread will be the effect of this decision. Every hus- band and wife who has secured a divorce in one state for an offense committed in another in which the defendant still re- sides is married still in the state which he or she had his or her original domi- cile.'
 The decision does not absolutely annul divorce, nor does it absolutely annul any subsequent marriages nor directly illigitl- matize the children. The divorce, subse- quent to marriage and the rights of the children can only be attacked apparently by subsequent proceedings on the part of the party to the original marriage who was not consulted and who took no part in the divorce. proceedings.
 That is to say, one state is not bound 10 accept the decree of a divorce court in another state unless that decree was found as the result of complete juris- diction of the defendant or the offense. Of course, if the defendant does not sub sequently appeal to the court, the original decree stands because no one else has a right to question it.
 In all those cases. therefore where what are known as Dakota divorces" are not contested they will stand If the defend ant whether man or woman, has died they. will stand and the property rights of the new wife and children will not be interfered with.
