Most Expemsive Drug.

One of the newest and most expen- sive drugs on earth is that known as adrenalin, says the London Standard. Those who are not physicians will be first interested in learning that ad- renalin costs $7.000 a pound. Adrenalin is the most powerful astringent. hemo- stratic and heart tonic known. Ad- renalin puckersa up the walls of the smaller blood vessels so that the blood can not flow from theem even if their ends are. severed. Since this costly drug closes and contracts the arteries. even when they are cut by a surgeons knife, 1t is valuable in all forms of hemorrhage. But it has another great and important use. Experiments have proved that it is powerful heart stimulant. It will revive a heart that is being killed by chloroform. ChIoroform, though quick in its action. is dangerous, but must often be used. when every moment Is valuable. So. if chloroform is necessary, 1t is of great value to know that adrinalin can be injected into a vein and prevent such heart failure as an overdose of cnloroform often causes. This action of adrenalin has been proved by many experiments.

 Dr. Charles A. StakelyS' pastor of the First Baptist church. heartily endorses the movement to build the Methodist College for young ladies in Montgom- cry, The movement has not flrmer supporter than Dr Sta kelly.
 In an interview he says, All Mont gonery, without regard to denomina- tions, should pull toftether to secure the college" Dr. stsikelys interview indicates the general sentiment, which prevails In Montgom cry and which holds that the possibility of the col lege is great opportunity for Mont gomery and the city should avail it. self of the opportunity at all cost. The which is raising the, $2o.oo0 from Montgomerians who are not Meth odists to secure the, location of the college in this city have only until Thursday to secures the necessary subscription. The sentiment which seems so unanimous for the college. 1t Is hoped will find its expression in O financial way.
 Of the college rF. Stakely says:
 "As citizen of Montgomery no less than as a friend Of education in gem eral, I am in sympathy with the pro- posal of the Methodist people of Ala bama to locate ththr college for women in this city. In ewery way Montgom- is a splendid place. for such an institu- tion, and the good people who are pro- noting this enterprise ought to have the benediction and cooperation of every citizen. Montgomery ought to have been a college city from the first and is now wise to jump at every chance to locate Institutions of learn ing in her midst. The commercial ad- vantages are very great. the social ad- vantages are greater still, not to speak of the intellectual and moral advantages which are simply beyond calculation. All Montgomery without regard to denomAnaLionai or any other differences, should pull together to se- cure this college.

WILL AFFECT TOBACCO MEN. Iictnse Law Made by the Legislature. SMALL DEALERS TO. SUFFER Many of Them May Be Forced Out
 of Business. nsrminghams ana Sfobiic Have Entered. . Pretest Against Certain Sec tf0As of the Code, work
 ine Hardship.

The new revenue code adopted by the last Legislature and which, like the dew coYers everything. will un- doubteoly put a. number of tobacco dealers in Montgomery out of busi- ness. because of the elimination of a half a dozen words from the old code The cigar dealers of Montgomery have not yet felt the pinch of the new law, because the citations for the licenses have not been issued by the Tax Com missioner.
 In Birmingham and Mobile another protest against the Legislature has gone up in consequence of this section of the code, but in the counties of Mo bile and Jefferson the Tax Commis- sioners have already been at work cit- ing business men to pay the licenses fixed in the new code. The new code went into effect on, March 7. The State officials, however, notified the tax authorities of the various counties that merchants need not be cited until thirty days after the new act went into effect. In Mobile and Jefferson coun- ties the commissioners as soon as the time limit expired went after the dealers in. cigars and tobacco and an- other howl went up.
 The trouble about the new law is that 1t puts every man who sells cig- ars, even when he does 1t as an &C., communication for his customers in the samst class with the large tobacco dealer. The new law will work no hardship on the man who Is exciu- sively engaged in the tobacco trade whether 1t be wholesale or retail, but the merchant wh okeeps little tobacco ond a few ciears as an accommodation to his customers will feel the force of 1t. It Is the class of dealers reported to have been put out of the business in Mobile and Birmingham. The new license may possibly have the same effect in Montgomery. although the license tax is not large.
 The wording in the old revenue code and in the new revenue code Is only slightly different, but the difference in the effect of the code is great. The section of the old code relating to cigar and tobacco dealers is as follows:
 Tor each dealer in cigars and to- bacco. where cigarette papers are kept to be sold. given away. or otherwise disposed of. in towns or cities of twen- ty thonsand inhabitants, ten dollars. in towns and cities of less than twen- ty thousand inhahitants. five dollars. provided that in cities and towns deal CTS who carry an average stock of five hundred cigars, or less than forty pouSds of tobacco, shall pay license Of one dollar.
 The cigar and tobacco section of the new code reads as follows;
 ''For each dealer in towns and cities ,ns twenty thousand inhabitants oi
 re. ten dollars; m towns or cities st less than twenty thousand inhabi. - ks, five dollars; provided that in cit les or towns dealers who carry an av- craze stock of less than five hundred cigars or less than forty pounds ot

Judge Sayre Hears Two Non-Jury
 Cases in City Court.
 No more jury cases will be heard in city court until next June. The criminal and civil divisions will re- convene on the first Monday in June when new cases and those which have been continued will be heard by Judge Sayre of the civil division and Judge Thomas of the criminal division.
 Judge Sayre yesterday heard two non- jury cases. One of these was a suit for malicious prosecution institu-. ted by Mrs. V. P. Culpepper against J. A. Davis. Davis some time ago had Mrs. Culpepper arrested for obtaining goods under false pretenses and on trial she was acquitted. She then brought suit against Davis for mali cious prosecution, claiming damages to character to the amount of $500. Judge Sayre took the case under ad- visement.
 In the suit of Albert Abrams and Company against Thomas Howe, Judge Sayre rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for one cent. This suit grew out of shipment of produce to the defendant by the plaintiffs.

This provision does not applyr<o members of the teams fro mthe United States Military or Nav al Academies should they be entered as members of these teams. graduating might be found in the army or navy team next year.
 The Matches of the National Rifle Association will be shot the week pre- cedins the National Matches. and upon the Camp Perry range. The Ohio Ri- 1e Association matches will be shot at the same time and place.
 Immediately following the National Matches, the Matches of the New Jer- sey Rifle Association will be. shot at Sea Girt, N. J.

Look After Artillery,


 Lieutenant Colonel Robert L. Bul lard, Sth U.s 6. Inf. Is of the opinion that the artillery of the. organized mill itia will have to- be given far more attention than 1t has so far received if 1t Is to be. made capable of efficient service in war. Discussing this Gues- ton in the Journal of the Military Service, Institution. Colonel bullard sayss A few, years ago, fresh from the organization of Volunteers, watched the putting together of two batteries of light field artillery. Out of the comparison there stood forth to my mind two things: 1t requires from tVno to three times as much time and labor to make artillery as infan- try, and. 1t takes almost as good a man to malsDe a sergeant of artillery as a good lieutenant of infantry. Between this ard careful observation at the maneuysers I have been unable to es- cape tfte conclusion that the artillery of the organized militia must be aided more, pr else abandoned. Real efic- iency and preparedness of artillery for war arb, with all time. hardly attain able, even in the Regular Army; with the average National Guard conditions and facilities, this may be taken as

Roosevelt Interested.

! HOOseveht Imfere8Ie0s
 President Roosevelt's deep interest in the development of craftsmanship in. civifan organizations is again att tested in letter to President Jahnz, iof the. National Schutzenbund, which is to hol't its fifth shooting festival in 'Carlestpn, S. C., May to May 14, of the present year. The letter follows: l'I wish you hearty good luck In what you are doing for rife shooting Our country has a Regular Army of such small size (though. I may say in pass dng, of such trained efficiency as to be, one of the best national assets) that in the event of war the great
 bulk of our forces will have to con
 siat of volunteers Accordingly, it Is
 of prime importance that there should
 be a thorough familiarity with the use
 of the rife among those of our people
 from whom the ranks of the volun-
 tears would In time of war naturally be filled. Therefore, in helping to raise the standard of craftsmanship
 among our people and in popularizing
 rifAe, shooting, the Schutzenbund is
 performing great service, for which
 the country is your debtor" The
 President will fire the first shot at the
 festival, discharging rife by cleo
 trical conhection leading direct from
 the, White House.

scheme they would practically lose con- troi of their organisations. for the memorandum states aplainly that when the State troops are serving as coast artillery they would put aside all con- nectiofis or relations with an organiza- ton of ashisher unit than the company. It tyis@objected that no regiment of the National Guard quartered in one armory as unit could be maintained under such conditions. The men would lose inferest and it would be impossible to get recruits"
 Alabama will meet this objection by holding all her organizations togeth- CT; the battalion of artillery and squad- ron of cavalry going as one. Arrange nnents4 are being made for transporta- ton for the recruits and 1t is believed It will be the most interesting and ben encfal occason Alabama troops have ever enjoyed.
