FIT THE GROCER.
Wife Made the Suggestion.

A grocer has excellent opportunity to know the effects of special foods on his customers. A Cleveland grocer has long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee.
 He says. regarding his own experiences: Two years ago l had been drinking coffee and must say that l was almost wrecked in my nerves.
 Particularly In the morning l was so irritable and upset that 1 could hardly wait until the coffee was served. and then I had no appetite for breakfast and did not feel like attending to my store duties.
 "One day my wife suggested that inas- much as I was selling so much Postuln there must be some merit in it and sug- gested that we try 1t. I took home pack age and she prepared it according to direction The result was a very happy one. My nervousness gradually disap- peared and today am all right I would advise everyone affected In any way with nervousness or stomach troubles to leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee " There's a Reason" Read 'The Road to Wellville," in pkgy

ASK MONEY FOR
 HUMANE SOCIETY
Officers Plan Extension of the Soci- ety's Sphere of Operations
 In Birmingham.

Plans are being made to broaden the work of the Humane society of this city by securing an appropriation from the city for expenses in connection with the work and to look more closely after the condition of horses and other animals which are often found suffering from injury or neglect.
 According to information obtained yes terday the Humane society will ask the city for s750 to be devoted to the society's work, and 1t is understood that the City Council favors this appropriation, and will enter into active cooperation with the officers of the society to attain the ends desired The city has Tot heretofore ap- propriated any money for this purpose, and this has left the society handicapped in the work which they consider an es- senbal in as large a city as this.
 One of the most active humane so- cieties in the south is in New Orleans, ard there the society has cone much good net only in caring for injured and mal- treated horses but has paid attention to eozs and other animals. relieving their allmeSts or putting them to death pain lessly when necessary.
 Humane Officer l.. A. Bonnie will be given mere authority, it is understood, in carrying out the plans of the local society and nlore a.tive cooper ation on the part of the police department has been prom iss1 him in the peri of his work.
 George M. Cruikshank is president of the society and he Is beiEg aided in the plans fsr broader work by Mrs. Van Hoose and other ladies of the city who are greatly interested In such matters.

Tribute to Moses Lazarus.

The loss of a dear friend awakens in the heart all the under emotions which best find expression in silent sorrow. While yet the gloom cast by the death of my friend hung over me, I felt unequal to the task of expressing my sentiments of admiration and regard for the noble character of Moses Lazarus.
 At time of life when experience and calm judgment had enriched his mind, when his strength had attained its full ness and generous disposition had won for him hosts of friends, the hand of death was laid upon him and the earth received into it's dark and cold grave one of the brightest of spirits and warmest of natures.
 Moses Lazarus was born in Louisville, Ky, October 2, 1869. and died in Bir- mingham, Ala. May 10, 1907. His untime- ly death was mpurned by many relatives and hosts of friends. but by none more than him who pays this humble tribute to his virtues and worth.
