The relief which comes by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee, is so striking, that people like to tell others who may be in the condition they got out of.
 The use of Postum Is on the increase in this country and the famous bever- age made from wholesome field grain has been @the means of restoring to thousands of former coffee drinkers good digestion. steady nerves and sound sleep. .-.

4 BieodI less Fight Between Tablet
 and { Habit--The Tablet Wins.

f
 and ( Habit--The Tablet Wins.
 At the age of 22, Clarence had good digestion. He had gastric juice that pleskins into good blood corpuscles.
 At the age of 24 he began to be profuse about the waist and lean back wards. He also. began to cultivate several chins. Tn his new-found pride he began to think 1t his duty to gorge himself on everything, the good and the bad, for appetite feeds on appetite and every good thing is abused. His pictures showed that he took on weight after he put his collar on.
 At the age of 26 Clarence married and went to boarding. On top of all this. he attended oyster suppers and wine dinners which reduced the size of his collar from Is 1-2 to Is. With stiil abiding faith in the strength of his stomach he gulped his meals. and chewed them afterwards.
 At thS>age of 28 Clarence began to hear an inward voice--a warning from the stomach. After each meal he would feel bloated--and befching be- came habit.
 He began to be a light eater--and a heavy thinker. He tried to think out a cure. for now he would sit down at his meals absolutely disgusted at the thought or. sight of anything to eat.
 He would sit down at his meals without the trace of an appetite, just because it was time to eat.
 He would often feel gnawing, un- satisfied "still-hungry" feeling in his stomach, even after . he was through eating. whether his3 meals was well cooked or not.
 things with his stomach that he could not explain, but that made him grouchy, miserable. out-of-sorts and generally sour on everybody and every thing. Y
 Finally he read an account some thing like this. about the truly won derful results obtained from Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet in all cases of stom- ach trouble. dyspepsia, and so on. He bought a soc box at the drug store, and took the whole box. When he started. he had little faith--arid less appetite. When he finished he had absolute faith-and more appetite, and taste, different and better to him.
 Now he has no more dyspepsia. no more indigestion, no more loss of Rp- petite, brash, irritation. burning sensa- ton. heartburn, nausea, eructations, bad memory, or loss of vim and vigor.
 Remember, one ingredient of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest for you s,o06 grains of food. just as it did for Clarence.
 This relieves your stomach of the work of digesting until your stomach can get strong and healthy again. Your stomach has been overworked and abuaedA It's Tagged out. It needs q rest
 Let stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do the work of your stomach. You will be Surprised how fine you'll feel after eating, and how lusciously good every thing will taste to you.

The attempt to wreck the train was on the priase over the cahaba river about ten mltes ,'s ? west of here and but for a fortunate In- cident probabiyya large number or pas1 sengers would have been killed or in- jured. ... number of passengers in the coacnes left Marion Junction. fourteen Hhes west of here, on schedule time iast @ nixht and was running on time. The approach to the Cahaba River Is down q steep grade and as a usual thing the trains coming down this grade run at avery good speed although the engines are shut on. Last night as this dowh grade was reached Engineer Frank Lit- fle. Sr.. shut his engine of altogether and the train was barely moving when the bridge was almost reached. when the train was about one hundred rect from the bridge two rails turned over and the engine was ditched and the train was stopped abruptly. , an inyestigation was made and it was discovered that some person or persons had taken all of the spikes from two of the rails and that they had also knocked the bolts out of the fish plates at the ends of the rails. Further inves- tigation was made by the train crew and several of the passengers and It was found that the train wreckers had piled a quantity of old cross ties either before or after they had unbolted and unspiked the rails on the far end of the bridge over the,Cahaba River so that if the train had not been wrecked by the ,unioosened rails it would be thrown from the track into the river below when this pile of cross ties was struck.
 After the discovery of the arteinSt to wreck the train there was for q while considerable uneasiness among tli epassensers who at first feared that the train wreckers would come from the woods and rob them. This uneasi- ness proved ungrounded as not one of the, persons who had attempted to wreck the train showed themselves.
 The work of loosening tlie two rails and putting the pile of cross ties on the end of the bridge over the Cahaba River must have been done by several persons as only few minutes was

taken in doing this work. At Marion Junction just five miles west of the Cahaba River freight train passed the passenger train from Akron and when this freight train passed over the bridge the track was all right.
 After the attempt to wreck the train and the cause was discovered the crew of the train went to work to repair the track and to jack the engine back on. The northbound train from Mobile arrived at the scene of the wreck a few minutes later tnd the crew of train assisted in the work. After two hours delay both of the trains pulled into Selma.
 The people who attempted to wreck the train are believed to be negroes who live in the neighborhood of where the, attempt was made.
 As soon as the attempt to wreck the train was learned at division head quarters railroad detectives from here were immediately put to work. Rail- road detectives from other points were also photographed for last night and from several directions they are now hurrying to the scene of the attempted wreck. The officials of the road are confident that the wreckers will be found out and that they will be ar rested and if arrested the railroad will prosecute them with the view of mak- ing an object lesson of them.
 The news of the attempt to wreck the train last night was kept very quiet here today and not veryf many people were aware of the narrow es- cape of the passenger train. The rail- road officials are watching with in- terest the work of the railroad detec- lives and feel sure that they will ar- rest the guilty persons within the next few days.
 Was the Wrong Negro.
 The negro Alex Bussey. who was ar- rested by the police department last Saturday afternoon for being . sus- picious character. and who was believ- ed to have been wanted in Bessemer for having shot a white man in that city a few days ago, was released from custody at this mornings session of the police court. An officer from Bes- semef reached Selma last / night to identify the negro and this morn ing he stated that the negro held by the police department was not the one wanted in Bessener.
