FEET OUT
She Had Curious Hnhit..


 When q person has to keep the feet out from under cover during the cold est nights in winter because of tho heat and priekly sensation. 1t is time that coffee, which causes the trouble. be left of.
 There is no end to the nervous con- ditions that coffee will produce. It shows in one way in one person and case the Lady lived in s. Dak. She says:
 T have had to lie awake half the night with my feet and limbs out of the bed on the coldest night and felt afraid to sleep for fear of catching cold had been troubled for years with twltchin&s and jerking of the lower limbs and for most of the time I have been unable to go to church or to lectures because of that awful feel ing that I must keep on the move.
 When 1t was brought to my at tention that coffee caused so many nervous diseases I concluded to drop coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to see if my trouble was caused by coffee drinking
 "I only drank one cup of coffee for breakfast but that was enough to do the business for me. When I quit 1t my troubles disappeared. Now I have no more of the jerking and twitching and can sleep with any amount Of bedding over me and sleep all night, in sound peaceful rest.

The greatest hit probably. made by any ball player in the South Atlantic League has been made by Heine Busch, whose work at third base has been the feature of the Augusta team.
 Heine Busch came to Montgomery in 1903 when the Chattanooga team was transferred to Montgomery. and has played ball here continuously since then. A thorough gentleman he has made numbers of warm personal friends.
 Last year he married a daughter of Owen Courtney of this city. and his friends and family in Montgomery will read with interest the following from The Augusta Chronicle:
 ''As the Tourists were coming in for their half of the sixth yesterday after noon both teams were called together at the plate and Mir. Newton Heggie. in behalf of the members of the Au- gusta team, presented to HenrN B. (Heinie) Busch, a beautiful silver lov- ing cup with instructions that the 'dipper' be passed on at the first op- portunity to Henry B., Jr.
 What MT. Heggie said in his pre- sentation speech Is matter of guess work to all but the members of the

And being a man of few words, Heinie didn't say much. but he made a hit with what he did observe, and the boys all know how much he thanked them.
 Captain Charles Dexter took unto himself the velvet case in which the cup was carried down, and marched solemnly over to the bench.
 l" Shall I christen it. he shouted, ara when Heinie nodded approval he soused the silver token deep down in the ice water keg. 1t came up full to the brim, and with Here's to Heinie Ju- nior,'' the captain drained it to the last drop. Then it was carefully tucked away fin the plush lining again. and handed over to the scribes in the press box to take good care of till after the game.
 To-day the cup will be taken to the engraver and the inscription win prob ably read:

Aldermen Refer License Bill
 to the Sanitary Committee

The City Council last evening. so far as is known. broke all previous re- cords in the matter of reference of va- rious ordinances to committees. Some times the Finance and Judiciary Com mittees have gotten into a wrangIe over which should get a certain ordi- nance, and sometimes there has been doubt as to whether the Finance Com mittee or the Committee on Public Works should get a communication having to deal with a national conven- tion. Never however. has there been wrangle as to whether the Finance Committee or the Committee on Sani- tation should have the consideration of a license measure-until last night
 The new feature was one of the most important moves on the part Of the city fathers last evening. It was par liamentary from the start, and step even more judicial than the adminis- tration of chloroform or placement in the inevitable pigeon hole. Alderman Holloway had introduced. under the head of new business, a resolution amending the amended section of the City Code having reference to licenses for the new fiscal year to read $500 lie censes for all saloons within the fire limits of the city and $500 license for all saloons without this district. Im- mediately upon the reading of the res olution, Alderman J. C. Tyson moved that 1t be referred to the Sanitary Com- mittee A second to his motion was at once offered and upon vote. six fa- voring and i've opposing. the resolu- ton was so referred.
 Another resolution which Alderman
 Holloway introduced barely missed the same fate, but through no fault of the warning Aldermen in the first instance.
 The second of the resolution was to the effect that the license amendment. as 1 passed, should be so amended as to make the license on ali fire insurance
 companies s4O0 instead of the present
 planned license. S275 per annum and

 With the coming of the oyster comes the luscious rice bird. known In most coast cities as the "buttePball." None of the local restaurants have offered these delicacies yet, but 1t will be but a few days before those who have jad- ed appetites will find a stimulant.
