VERY FEW PEOPLE
Who Have Not Suffered From
Constipation of the Bowels

Health depends very largely upon
the regularity of the bowels. There
should be proper alvine excavations
every day. There are few persons who
have not suffered at some period of
their lives from constipation of the
bowels. Inattention to the calls of
nature, or a neglect 10 regularly attend
to this important duty, sooner or later,
produces disastrous results. Further
more, it is essential to the comfort of
every individual for, when this func-
tion is not performed, there is derange-
ment of the mental as we'll as of the
bodily organs.
The following prescription has been
used for many years, and when prop
erly taken will keep the bowels in a
healthy condition:
Tr. Cinchona Compound, % OF;
Kastor Compound, OF; Fluid Extract
Cascara Aromatic, OF.
Take teaspoonful after each meal
and upon retiring. Your local drug
gists will prepare the mixture for you

CITY SWELTERS IN
 HOTTEST OF SEASON
THE MERCURY CLIMBED TO e4 AND WAS ONLY STOPPED IN ITS ASCENT BY A THUNDER STORM IN THE AFTERNOON.

'Is it hot enough for you?" was heard million times yesterday, and If that question wasn't put it was "Ain't 1t hot?" Every man on the streets had something to say about the weather. Yea, verify, everybody sweltered.
 Not satisfied with nearly burning us all up on Sunday Old Sol shone down all the more warmer yesterday until he pushed the official thermometer at the weather bureau up to 94 degrees. It was the hottest day we have had so far this year, and 1t would have been even warm CT if the sky had not clouded up and shed off the burning rays.
 On a clear day 1t Is usually warmer about o'clock in the afternoon than at any other time, and yesterday afternoon at 8:30 94 degrees were registered wlth the thermometer still going up. It would have reached 96 by 4 o'clock but Tor the mercy of the clouds
 Fat men walked the streets with hats off and handkerchlefs, made wet with perspiration, in hand, and once in the office. down they flopped into the pig 6esk chair under the electric fan. Alpaca coats were much in order, and palmetto fans. "dope," lmeade and other cold soft drinks were luxuries. Soda water clerks al, over town were on the run all day long.
 About o'clock old noisy Thor. com monty known as the god of thunder, shook the sumbering Jupiter Pluvius from his bed among the clouds, and iarred from him highly welcome down pour of rain and hail. A hard shower lasted about fifteen minutes and after 1t was over everybody breathed easier, and slumber was made possible last night
 During the storm bolts of lightning, shot from the sky, frolicked around over telephone wires, ringing the bells in nu- merous residences. and several loud crashes sounded like they had razed houses to the ground. The only report of buildings being hit by lightning, how ever, came from the county Jail. One bolt struck the strong outside wall near the corner on the Twenty-first street side, ran down the wall to the sidewalk, and was chasing itself up Fourth avenue when last seen.
 Birmingham is not, however, the only place which is suffering from heat. In many of the towns in Middle Georgia the thermometers ran up to 9s degrees yester- day, and last week people in Texas ''en- joyed" temperature which averaged 100 for the day, meaning that in some parts of the day the sun shone down at some thing like 104 or 1o5 degrees.
 The hottest day on record at the local weather bureau was Jan. 12, 1901, when the instrument registered 1o4 degrees. The highest temperature recorded in Alabama Sunday was at Anniston, where % de- grees were registered at the official bu- reau. The maximum temperature in Bir- mingham on Sunday was 93 degrees.
 Indications are that the weather will continue to be hot, very probably warmer than yesterday. There are no indications of a rainy spell although showers may fall at any time during the extremely warm weather.

D|YORCES BREWERY FROM THE SALOON Estes Thinks New Ordinance is
 Far Reaching WILL CLOSE UP THE DIVES New Ordinance compeIs Saloon Men to Own Building or to Have It
 Leased In Their Own
 Names.
WILL CLOSE UP THE DIVES

Few people recognize as yet the great importance of an ordinance passed by the council without dissenting vote at its last meeting" said Alderman Estes yesterday when discussing the liquor prob- lem of Birmingham.
 'Tt went through without any trouble whatever, and yet the results will be widely felt. In my opinion this act will cut the number of saloons in Birmlng- ham almost in half, and will so com- pletely sever the low class dive saloon keeper from the breweries as to releive the situation in Birmingham a great deal.
 This ordinance provides that no license for the sale of spirituous. vinous or malt liquors in the city of Birmingham, from and after the first day of January, 19oS shall be granted unless the applicant for the said license shall submit to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the city Of Birmingham satisfactory proof that he Is the true owner of the premises on which the said liquors are to be sold. or holds in his own name and right lease upon the building wherein and whereon 1t Is pro- posed to conduct the said business.
 'Now when the saloons whose proprietor are operating under the wing of the brew cries have to close their doors, 1t will be seen that Birmingham will be practi- cally rid of the dirty dives that are such a curse at present. It Is in fact so sweeping that we could not put 1t into eff feet at once, but had to set the date for the first of next year.
 "The class of saloon men which this ordinance will leave in business will also be those who will welcome a high license. Our ordinance will conceive of no party in charge of a saloon kho cannot conduct his business, and that quality of men Will see the value of the high license.
 However, consider this ordinance much more Important than even the high license or redstricting saloons. The re- moval of saloons from the red light dis trict is apt to be the next action or the board.

 But Killed a Bystander.

Walter Williams and Elijah Moore, two negroes were tried before Judge II. E. Abernathy in the second division of the inferior court yesterday on q charge of murdering Tom Hayes, another negro, last January. Hayes was hit and fatally wounded by a stray bullet while Will Hams and Moore were shooting at each other, and both of the negroes were held for trial.
 In the latter part of last January, while at a negro dance on Sixteenth street Williams and Moore became involved in a difficulty over some matter and drew guns and began firing. Both escaped in- jury, but Hayes was fatally wounded by one of the balls. as the court holds, from Williams pistol
 Both of the negroes were arrested and placed in the county jail on charges of murder. Moore was discharged yester- day, as the evidence in the case showed that the bullet which caused Hayes death was from Williams pistol Will Hams was bound over to the grand jury
