THE TWO INVlNcIBLES God Liver Oil and Iron.

Cod Liver oil and iron in some form or other are prescribed by physicians the world over, more than any other two remedies the world has ever known, for anemia or poor blood, weak ness, convalescence, and all wasting and pulmonary diseases.
 Iron, because it is the basis of the blood and without a sufficient amount the blood is impoverished, watery, pale and impure
 Cod Liver Oil, because it contains curative and reconstructive qualities greater than that possessed by any other one medicinal agent
 In Vinol, modern science has given to the world a combination of these two world-famed tonics--Cod Liver Oil and Iron. but shcrn of all uselss oil or disagreeable features
 vinol is made by a scientific, ex- tractive and concentrating process from fresh cods flyers, combining with peptonate-of-iron all the medi- cinal, healing, bodybuilding elements of cod liver oil. but no oil.
 As a body-builder and strength cre- ator for old people, delicate children weak, rundown persons, after sick ness. and for Chronic Coughs, Colds Bronchitis, and all throat and lung troubles, Vinol is unexcelled.
 We ask Montgomery people to give Vinol a trial. It won't cost anything unless is gives satisfaction. E. G Fowler, Druggist Montgomery, Ala.

DEVICE FOUND BY TURNKEY
Life Prisoner Has Made Weapon Out of Sock and Broken Glass.

 weapon.

That serious trouble. was in store for either of che county jailers a few days ago is evidenced by the finding of an improvised sandbag in one Of the celas. This knockout device, which IS usually made of small bag of sand and a rope or strap, was made out oi sock, some pieces of broken bottle and mems hose supporters. It could have been used with telling effect Il in the hands of a strong man.
 The ownership of the bag can be traced to Will Weaver, negro who left the jail few days ago. to serve q fifteen years sentence for murder in the second degree. During the last few days that he was in the Jail ne was seen to act rather strangely anc a close watch was kept on him. Later the sandbag was found by one of ths floor walkers.
 The man filled a sock nearly rui of pieces of broken glass, tied his two hose supporters together and then tiet them to the sock. The glass weighted the sandbag enough to make 1t dan gerous weapon with which mar could easily have been rendered un'

ANOTHER MAIL CARRIER
 ADDED 10 LOCAL FORCE
Much of City Not We'll Enough Im-
 proved For Mail Service.


 Having-been advised of the constant growth of Montgomery. and the need of a more adequate mail carrier ser vice .the postal authorities at Waail isgton have given the local office one more carrier. He will be put on December 16.
 Conditions of the letter carrier ser vice in Montgomery are somewhat diI- ferent than in most towns from the fact that there are great number or people who live in districts that are not improved sufficiently for the government to deliver mail. The government requires that the streets shall be numbered, the houses number ed. and that there shall be sidewalks and electric lights Where the city has not made these i'm provements no mall can be delivered.
 Postmaster Dimmick stated yesterday that with the addition of the one car. rier that he will have the ground tnas the authorities required to be covered we'll in hand, but that there. are great many people living in the city limits that do not get the benefits or maii service.

TAXES BEING PAID
NO HARD TIMES INDICATED BY
 CITY's RECEIPTS.
City Treasurer and City Clerk Have Collected More Privilege and Property Taxes Than On
 This Day Last Year.

Hard times talk to the contrary not withstsnding the people of Montgom- cry are paying their taxes and their licenses with more promptness than they did last year when "a great era of prosperity was the predatory re- mark beginning every conversation.
 Taxes on pr operties, real and per- sonal in the city, became due Decem- her 1, and In the office of the City Treasurer 1t is estimated that the amount collected today Is we'll in ad- vance of the amount collected to this day last year.
 At the rate of taxation for the city $1.12 1-2, $195,719.99 was collected for the fiscal year 1905-19ss. and to thai amount was added $S65.01 collected foi 1e05-19oS, and $3.101.34 collected fol years previous to 1905-1906; and $2,, s69.46 interest on taxes; total $202.554s0.
 The amount of taxes collected so faI for the fiscal year 1s07-l90S has not been exactly calculated but it is be. lieved to be ahead of last years col lections at this tfme.- For some time too, the Treasurer's office was vacant ,n that License Inspector J. q. Cowan who was acting as Treasurer, had not been authorized to receive monies foi  taxes. Many paid their dues to the city for the privilege of owning prop erty even before the taxes were due.
 Taxes became due with interest or December 1 but on account of the in ability of all taxes being received or the first day the city will in accord alre with precedent grant few days respite.
 Though accurate totals had not beer prepared last night City Clerk John ] Farley said that the collection of Ii censes this year have been fine and ar' ahead by several thousands of dollar of the collections for the same da, last year. The total amount collected for licenses for 1906 1907 was $137, | 7I2.25.
 l Most taxes and licenses are beini paid in checks and script, indicatini the scarcity of currency but there ha been little or no indication of any ac 1 tual inability to pay.

 It is something in this day to play in
 Shakespeare at all with success; 1t Is
 more to have played King Lear to the
 satisfaction of the public and the crit ics: but Mir. MantelI has transcended both achievements.

Tuned" Lightning.

PoulSen, the Danish inventor, known
as the Edison of Europe, has made
some wonderful strides in the develop
ment of electricity during the last
year, and he is now out with the pre-
diction that ttuned tightening, one
of his new inventions, will make pos
sible feet ocaen liners, without steam
or any other visible means of general
ing power; airships furnished with
wireless energy, and telephone and
telegraph sta ions connected by wire
less ether waves only.
At remarkable demonstration in
London lately, Poulsen succeeded in
lighting a series Of arc lapmS without
any wire, simply by means of his new
and marvellous energy, which first pass
ed through his own body. By means
also of his wonderful electric waves
sent into the atmosphere he fused a
piece of copper suspended in midair
without contact with wires or conductor
of any kind. Thus it can be seen that
by means of properly installed general
ing stations Poulsen will soon be able
to effect electric lighting at great dis
tances: and this absolutely without
wires.
Modern warfare will undergo com
plete revolution, when the Pouisen gen.
Grating stations come into working
order. If he can light town by wire
less energy conveyed through the air
alone, it will be simple matter to ex-
plode at long range an enemy 'ssmines.

But in addition to this he promises

sent system of wireless telegraphy by
