They cannot be chased with patent or secret medicines because they are neither. This is why 80 many unprejudiced physicians prescribe them and recommend them to their patients. They know what they are composed of, and that the ingredients are those endorsed by the most eminent medical authorities.
 The further fact that neither Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the great stomach tonic, liver invigorator, heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his sFavorite Prescription for weak, over worked, broken-down, nervous women, contains any alcohol, also entities them to place all by themselves
 Many years ago, Dr. Pierce discovered that chemically pure glycerine, of proper strength, is Q better solvent and preserv- etive of the medicinal principles resid- ing in our indigenous, or native. medi- cinal plants than is alcohol; and, further more, that it possesses valuable medicinal properties of It's own, being demulcent, nutrltive, sntiseptic, and most efficient antiferment
 Neither of the above medicines con- tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit forming drug, as win be seen from a glance at the formula printed on each bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and potent to cure.
 Not only do physicians prescribe the above, non-secret medicines largely, but the most intelligent people employ them people who would not think of using the ordinary patent, or secret medicines. Every ingredient entering into the com position of Dr. Pierce's medicines has the strongest kind of an endorsement from leading medical writers of the several schools of practice. No other medicines put up for like purposes has any such professional endorsement.

 The feature of the session came at the very last when the negro question was injected for the first time. The committees had been announced by the President when P. J. Greer of Bir- mingham. a negro, asked if all the committees were to meet at the Ex- change Hotel, and, if so, what attitude he and other members of his race would properly take.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED.
XIII the Germs by Breathing Hy-o-mei.

 Gives Quick Relief.
 Many people who have suffered with catarrh for years naturally feel that the disease cannot be cured, and be- come discouraged.
 Their failure to get relief is due to the fact that they have not used the right remedy. Catarrh is an affection of the head, throat and lungs, and can not be cured by stomach dosing.
 The only scientific and natural treat ment for this disease is Hy-o-mei, which is breathed through a neat pocket inhaler, so that its healing medicated air reaches the most remote air-cells, kills all catarrh germs, and restores the mucous membrane of the nose. throat and lungs to a healthy condition.
 Hy-o-mei is the only cure for catarrh that has ever been sold with the under standing that it was to cost absolutely nothing unless 1t cured. E. G. Fowler sells Hy-o-mei in this way and is al- ways ready to refund the money if 1t does not relieve and cure catarrh.
 The healing and Aantiseptic balsams of Hy-o-mei perform their purpose to perfection, and by using this remedy for a few times each day, you can soon cure yourself of any catarrhal troubles

WOULDN'T GO BACK To Old Days of Coffee Misery for Millions.

AN. Y lady is emphatic about coffee. and in comparing her former condition when using it. with her later improve ment under Postum Food Coffee, says.
 We have used Postum instead of coffee for the past four years and have been greatly benefited by the change.
 q have always had weak stomach from childhood, and about five years ago one doctor told me 1 must leave off coffee entirely I thought I could not, but tried it for few mornings. using cocoa in it's place, but tired of it.
 "Then I went back to coffee and kept getting worse, until my stomach was unable to hold or digest much of any thing.
 "one day got hold of little book let, The Road to Wellville.' l read 1t and decided to try Postum.
 q got better as time went on and we all learned to like 1t so well that now we use it to the exclusion of ev- erything else in the line of drink at table.
 "This summer I went away for two weeks and my husband took his meals at the restaurant. As he did not drink coffee he asked for Postum. They brought 1t to him. pale, weak stun. made In a hurry.
 ''But the first morning after l re- turned home, he said, 70. 1t seems good to have a cup of Postum that's made rightr At the restaurant, he said they did not boil 1t long enough. (Postum must pc well boiled to get the delicious favor-see directions).
 q would not use coffee again and go hack to the old days of suffering for millions. I have a friend who drank Postum for two weeks. during siege of typhoid fever. the only nourishmert she took in all that time, and she came out all right. l would be willing to give s1.00 a box for Postum rather than use coffee" Name given by Postum Co.

WILL DEPORT ALFANO.
Bandit Leader of Naples to go Back
 Home.

Home.
 New York, April 22 2.--Enrico Alfano, alleged leader in Italy of the secret and criminal society Camorra of Naples, who was arrested fin this city last week during the police raid In the East Side. today was turned over to the immigration authorities by whom he will be deported to Italy.
 Alfano escaped from that country shortly after the mysterious murder of one Cuccolo and his wife, crimes which Alfano and other workers iY the ranks of the Camorra are accused
 Fear of Cuccolo's ascendency in power In the Camorra is mentioned as the motive for the murders. When Al. fano was arrested he was brought Into the Tombs court on the charge of murder. The case went over until to- day pending the arrival of legal dc uments from Italy, but in the mean time the Italian detectives in charge of the arrest were advised to submit the case to the immigration officials.
 The presiding judge considered it un- likely that Alfano could be held on the homicide complaint. in the absence of documents in evidence from abroad. The courts suggestion was followed. In the Tombs courts today the defen dant was discharged on the murder complaint but was immediately turned over to the federal authorities and re. moved to Ellis Island. Commissioner of Immigration Watcher said he would be deported within a few days.

NEGRO HANGS SELF
STRANGLEs TO DEATH UNDER
 HAW BUSH.
Goes to Secluded Spot, Ties Sewing Machine Belt About His Neck, and Choi<es Himself by
 Leaning Forward.

The mystery of the negro who was found dead Sunday by another negro in the pasture of the John Thomas place. about three miles from Mont gomery on the Woodley road. has been solved. It was Will Oliver. ne- gro boy about 19 years of age. who had hung himself with sewing ma chine belt, to a haw bush growing in
 secluded spot No motive is known for the crime. The young negro had been porter at
 local grocery store, and had lived with his brother at 16 Franklin Street. For the past month he had not been working, though his brother still had a place.
 He took his life some time Sunday afternoon. He left home about noon, not telling any one whore he was go- ing, and nothing further was known of
 his whereabouts until t was discov-
 cred that the body at the Thomas place was his.
 Coroner Tice. who was notified of the
 finding of the body by another negro
 Sunday afternoon too late to make thorough investigation before dark that day, went to the scene yesterday morning. He discovered the negro un-
 der the haw bush, hung by the necy
 to the bush by means of a sewing ma chine belt.
 hho HeSio was su 'hi uHueE tho pusi that at first he remained undiscovered.
 He was in half reclining posture. held up by the leather belt which was tied to the limb of the bush.
 He must have met death by slow strangulation, as the distance from the limb to the ground was too short for him to have gotten a sudden drop and
 so killed himself suddenly. The spot where the tragedy occurred was an ideal one for the Iurpose Fully | half mile from the road and as far from any habitation there was no prob ability of an interruption. | The Coroner had the body brought to
