SCHOOL TEACHERS
Also Have Things to Learn.

For many years l have used coffee
and refused to be convinced of its bad
effect upon the human system, writes
veteran school teacher.
''Ten years ago I was obliged to give
up my much loved work in the public
schools after years of continuous labor
| had developed a well defined case Of
chronic coffee poisoning
1.-The troubles were constipation, fiut-
terngs of the heart. humping in the
top of my hezd and various parts of my
body, twitching of my limbs. shaking
of my head and, at times after exertion,
q general gone" feeling. with toper's
desire for very strong coffee. l was
nervous wreck for years.
"a short time ago friends came to
visit us and they brought package OF
Postum with them, and urged me to try
it. | was prejudiced because some years
ago L had drunk cup of weak, tasteless
stuff called Postum which l did not like
at all.
This time, however, my friend made
the Postum according to directions on
the package and it won me- Suddenly
I found myself improving in most de-
cided fashion.
1.-The odor of boiling coffee no longer
tempts me. l am so greatly benefited
by Postum that If I continue to improve
as | am now, I'll begin to think ] have
found the Fountain of Perpetual Youth.
This is no fancy letter but stubborn
facts which l am glad to make known

emphasize the postponement of day of
judgment to the indefinite future, the Jew
is taught that there is Judgment now
and here. If judgment is eternal, as we
believe 1t is, in eternity there is neither
past or future, it is an everlasting now.
1t is the same with our idea of Messianic
times. The Messianic expectations of
others lie in the past; according to them,
their Messiah has already come; our Mes
sianic expectations are still unrealized
Our Messanic hope will be fulfilled and
God will be our Saviour as the prophet
says, only when all men will have come
to realize and recognize that God is our
such recognition of God sitting in judg-
ment of soul, rendering its verdict as an
echo of the Divine verdict, that we can
from day to day, obeying the behests
of the law-giver hasten the time of the
Messiah when right, truth and justice
verse.
"Such then is the appeal of New Year
to us Jews both as individuals and as
members of the household of Israel-a
reminder of the solemn responsibility, the
sacred trust which is ours, both for our
own individual souls and the universal
mission which we have for all mankind.
May we heed the appeal and judge our
selves, even as we will be judged by
God, who is our judge, our lawgiver and
our Savior"

Although every one of the public schools
in the city is practically filled, the work
of classification has been carried forward
with dispatch during the past week, ana
everything will be in readiness Tor the
real Inauguration of the 190S-O9 session OF
the public schools tomorrow morning.
Superintendent J. H Phillips stated yes
terday afternoon that a number of the
grades in the various schools have been
overcrowded with pupils, and for this rea-
son 1t has been necessary to transfer
some of the pupils from one school to an
other He states, however, that this work
has gone forward nicely, and matters VIII
be working regularly Monday
Considering the difficulty in the matter
of securing books and the amount of work
in the classification and placing OF pupils
the work accomplished during the past
week is considered most satisfactory

An evidence of Mr.. Farley's belief in
Birmingham's greatness is shown by the
fact that the small brick building on this
site is netting him $500 per month and
the present lessees used all their per-
suasve powers in trying to induce him to
renew the lease. This, however, MI.
Farley would not do and work will be
started October l in tearing the old build
ing down.
The construction of this building will
cause the removal of another landmark
In Birmingham, but will also be another
monument to Birmingham's rapid growth
toward the fore as the leading city of the
south, and also in reality making Twen-
tieth street a 'skyscraper avenue
Another evidence of Birmingham $
growth is the fact that Mr.. Going has
already contracted for nearly half of the
offices and first floor of the building.

encased in concrete, and the floors of
reinforced concrete throughout, will give
a rigid and stable structure, absolute
ly fireproof.
1t will front SO feet on Twentieth street
and 100 feet on Third avenue, occupying
the site now covered by the two-story
brick building, the ground floors of which
are occupied by the Pastime moving pic
ture theatre and Orr & Roberts, grocers.
The arrangement is such as to secure
120 outside rooms accessible from the
main hall, and giving pefect and natural
ventilation. Two high speed elevators
will furnish rapid and convenient service.
Entrance to the elevators will be from
the Third avenue side. The sanitary and
other conveniences will be modern in ev-
cry respect, and upon the whole this
building will be very attractive to those
wanting high class office space.

MARYLAND and West Virginia, commence

encouraged by the news he receives from

1.-The republicans are making, for the
first time in 16 years, defensive cam
paign. and that is always uphill work,
he said yesterday. 1.-The fact that the
President contrary to all precedent reefs

q years old; but he believes that if Taft
should pull through it would retard the
revision of the tariff and other reforms
demanded by the people.
'The election of Mr.. Bryan would be
an end to the apprehension of sectional
legislation and prevent the passage of
such bills as that passed unanimously by
the republicans of the House last May
looking to cutting down the representation
of the south in Congress- and leave her
free from the political agitation to ad-
dress herself to the development of her
vast resources. The adverse majority in
the Senate will make it difficult for Mr..
Bryan, at least for two years, to ac-
complsh much in the way of needed leg
islation; but it would show the determin-
alton of the people to have a change of
policies"

PARENT WORSHIP IN coREA
Miss shook, Returned Missionary,
Says Ancient Religion is Hard
TO S~uppIant.

Miss Velma Shook. who has been for
the last eight years a missionary in Corea,
addressed the members of the Women's
Missionary societies of the PTesbyterians
churches at the First church, Friday az
ternoon.
christianity is known in all parts of
Corea, now" said Miss Shook. There
are a few remote regions that have not
been reached, but they are getting less
and less numerous. There is no very strong
religion to ombat except the worship Of
ancestors. The ancestral tablets are the
last idolatrous emblem that the Corean
will surrender when he accepts the Chris
tian faith. When they become Christians
they are never satisfied until they have
told all of their friends and their rela-
tives. They give freely their time and go
into the heather provinces to preach with
out remuneration. They give money, too,
when they have It, but that is not often,
as they are a very poor nation.
They have lost their country, and they
feel the invasion OF the Japanese very
keenly. They say that they have nothing
but their belief in Christianity to rely
on now. They are particularly anxious to
get an education. We haven't nearly
enough facilities nor teachers to take care
Of the pupils that com to us. The coun-
try has unquestionably been benefited by
the Japanese in many ways however. The
japanese have opened up their
and made many improvements. But they
are sometimes harsh and unkind. This
was especially true at the beginning when,
because OF the war, the government haA
to send inferior men to take charge of
the province, and a very undesirable class
OF Japanese came into the copntr,, -
The visiting societies were entertained bv
the society of the First church after the
meeting, and light refreshments were
served.
