 My appetite is good I sleep well and find life is worth living, Indeed. A lady of my acquaintance said she did not like Postum, it was so weak and tasteless.

The Greater Mobile" bill received the approval of Governor Conner last night and will be effective January 1. 1908. The bill was considerably op- posed, and had been pending for some time. fr
 The measure provides for an exten- sion of the city limits practically to the boundaries existent previously to 1869. when political and financial exi- gencies required a restriction of smu- nicipal territory. Senator Max Ham burger of Mobile, who introduced the bill in the Senate, said last night that the extension of the limits would make Mobiles population S0,000, whereas it's present population was not more than 10000. He declared the territory to be embraced within the new boundaries is logically part of the city of Mo- bile.

 TWO know thaat there are thousands of sincere and earnest-minded souls outside of the Catholic Church who are seeking for spiritual light. and yet not know where to find it. They are wor- ried because of the contradictory teach ings of their leaders; they are anxious because they have no certainty of the pardon of their sins; they are perplexed because their belief in the Bible is be- ing shattered by the highest criticism.
 sTThere is also vast body of men and women who flass left the churches of their fathers, an dare living as un- believers, boosting openly that they are morally better than church-goers, yet inwardly feeling the despair of the soul which is alien to God and His Christ.
 Many of these souls look toward the Catholic Church as the one hope of humanity, but their false views of her doctrines prevent them from study ing her claims.
