WHAT IT IS Composition of the Famous Food.

A wide spread interest has been created among good flyers, as to the composition of Grape-Nuts, the food that has become popular and famous the world over.
 It has long been known to physicians. chemists and food experts. that the starchy portion of entire wheat and barley Hours is transformed into q true and very choice sugar by the act of intestinal digestion in the human body. This sugar is identical with. and is known as grape sugar. and 1t Is in condition for lm- mediate transformation Into blood and the necessary structure from which the deli- cate nerve centres are built up.
 A food expert followed a line of ex- perlments until he produced the food called GrapeNuts, of which grape-sugar forms the principal part, and it is pro- duced by following Natures processes. In mechanical way. That is, heat mois- ture and time are the methods employed and directed by scientific facts gained in research
 Grape-Nuts food is probably entitled to, the claim of being the most perfectly adapted food for human needs in exist ence. Certain it is that the users delight in the flavor and the perfect action of in- testinal digestion during the use of Grape Nuts Is satisfying. and the added strength of body confirms the fact.

Do Not Want Route Changed.

To the Birmingham Railway, Light and
 Power company, Birmingham. Ala
 Gentlemen:-The undersigned official members of the First Methodist Episcopal church, south, Birmin gham, Ala, earnest ly request that you do not make the proposed change in the routing of the Avondale and Highland cars, as such change would be a serious inconvenience to many members of our church, and congregation and also keep many children from attending our Sunday school. It ap- pears to us that the change necessitating a transfer down town would be a great source of annoyance and discomfort to many people and would not benefit any one SC far as we are informed. J. D.

CASES OF GREEKS
 AROUSE INTEREST
TWO ARE FOUND GUILTY BEFORE LEWIsBURG JUSTICE AND THE LEGAL TANGLE IS PUzzLING. CASES WILL BE APPEALED.

The outcome of the controversv ba- tween the authorities of beat No % .n5 the Greek fruit dealers of Birmingham Tn reference to the sale of coca-cola and oeher sort drinks on Sunday Is being watched with much interest. The first or thirty Greeks put under bond was mt on trial yesterday morning before Jus tlee of the Peace Ira w. Dement, of tha beWisburg district, and was convicted or violating the Sunday law. The defend ant Tom Greenwood, one of the leading irult dealers of tho city was represented py Attorney Erie W. Pettus. and when declared guilty of the charge the defend- ant gave notice of appeal Sufficient hond was given and tho case will be tried in the criminal court of Jefferson county.
 According to the city code of Birning- ham, the Greeks who have been selling coca-cola on Sunday have been violating '"a sunday law. Under the caption of Confectloners or bakers doing business on Sunday section 1904 provides: eIt shall be unlawful for any newsdeaIer o,. other confectioner baker. or dealer in sodH water, lemonade or other beverages or drug store (except for the sale of medicines), or any barber, to sell or serve customers or keep open doors on Sunday. provided that newsdealers may sell until l2 m. and newsboys may sell on the streets all day"
 Alderman George II. Estes was seen yesterday, and he expressed his opintop 'hat the Greeks were violating the Sun oay law In selling the popular beverage on the Sabbath day, and when the matter wa' Investigated 1t was found that he was correct fin his opinion.
 Tie matter of the Greeks yiolatinp tba law, however is not tue point which ia elicltlng the most discussion. It is thoneht by many that the justice who issued tha warrants from beat 22 has overstenned his authority in Issuing the warrants and snmmoning the defendants to an out-of town court for trial. By special provi- sion the justices of the peaces in beats A and 37 were replaced by the inferior courts, and 1t Is not believed that tho justice of beat % has the Jurisdiction T., ruls hnally in the case now at issue.
 So Tar the authorities at tho county iall or the sheriff's office here have not been called upon to take any action in the case. The warrants for the Greeks vera sworn out before Justice Dement,. If ia believed that the proper course for him to have taken was to have made the war rants returnable to the criminal court. This was within his Jurisdiction.
 It Is not probable that the question will be gone into further until the case started yesterday Is settled It is a test case and will probably end the whole contro- Versy The action against the Greeks is pelns widely criticised as a matter of persecution and not prosecution.

 FOR FIRST TIME

A somewhat dazed mamma and seven awestruck children, the oldest of which was boy of about 12 years, caused many a smile on Twentieth street and Second avenue yesterday afternoon. While their presence provoked smiles, yet the smiles were tnged with sympathy, for even the hardest of hearts could not have refrain ed from going out to them.
 From the rural district they came. In fact, one could look at them and see fields of corn and cotton, with water melon patch and cool flowing creek thrown in to fill out the picture. Hud- dled close together they walked, only taking up about half the space generally covered by one of Blrminghams dainty molly -coddles, each one trying to get q grip on mammals skirt.
 A little questioning brought out the fact that they had "eome in on thet air Suth- in railroad" and had boarded "one of them funny cars ter go ter thet air Montgomery road" and after getting off of "thet air funny car" had started in an opposite direction from the L. X N. depot and wer lost in Birmingham. It also developed that this was tho first time the whole family" had ever been tier taown.' Mamma admitted that she had been ter Anniston about -four year ago." but this was the children's first visit to what was practically heaven to them

 When the corpse was found, the police officers on the beat were notified. and they had the body removed to an under taking establishment.
