Some of that motley throng you saw prahcihg up and down and around sThe Curves' at the state Fair Thurs day were officials of the city of Mont gomery.
 Bys,reselutions,o the City Council Thursday was a half holiday at the City Hall: The Aldermen resolved that the city employees should go to the Fair. They did not make 1t man. datory. They did not have to. The city officials wanted to. go. When the work stopped at noon they went. The dignified Mayor was at. the Fair. So was Engineer Gitchtst and Dave SCro&s lana and Gaston Troy and Charlie Fa- Der and Secretary Parrish and all the rest.
 Reporters who went to the City Hall in the afternoon were discouraged. They made & waterhaul In their search for news; At the Fair" was not writ ten on the doors, but the doors were locked. .rs
 License onicer J. G. Cowan was the only man at work. He is always at work. The city needs the money, you know.
 Mfr. Cowan had received letter from City Clerk John J. Farley. who is i'll atfStafford Springs. Miss. Mir. Farley wrote that he felt somewhat improved, although his stay at the health resort may be prolonged indefinitely.

The total capital stock Is 3l,G00,000 and $500,00o of this amount has been paid in.
 It is said that this enterprise, big though 1t is. has already passed the visionary stages and is to be carried to a successful consumation. Among the incorporators are to be found some of the leading citizens of the wire- grass section of Alabama. It is the purpose of the company to proceed with the construction of dam across the Choctawhatchie river at an ad- vantageous point for the development of water power. In this way power and light will be generated for dis tribution through the rapidly growins counties of the "Wiregrass" stretch.
 Following are the words used by the incorporators to describe the pur- pose of their business: ITO create power and light, generated by water steam and electricity or any other known agency which may become oI hereafter becomes known and to sell the same for profit"
 The incorporators of the enterpriss are: w. c. Fritter, Morris Lumber Company. A. c. Kelly. G. S. Kelly. w H. Clark, c. W. L. Smith and A J Smith.
 It is said that there Is sufficient fal in the river to insure the development of all the horse power needed. in car rying out the intentions of the com pany. It Is not known when actua construction will begin.

IT MAY SURPRISE
 SOME DYSPEPTIcS
TO LEARN THAT OvER-DRUGGING
 OFTEN DELAYS A CURE.
Proper Diet, Plenty of Time for Eat- ing and Rest VIII Cure Most Cares Unless the Blood-
 Supply Is Deficient.

The adage "one mans meat Is an- other mans poison" is scientifically true and to certain extent dyspep- tics should allow their desires to dic- tate their diet. always emitting arti- c1es found to cause distress. The adage holds true with drugs. Medi- cine that will relieve one case of indi" gestion will aggreyate another.
 Drugs play very little part in the modern treatment of dyspepsia. From a list of articles easily digested the pa- tient selects those that most appeal to the appetite, avoids nasty eating and rest after each meal by lying down for time if circumstances per- nit. Then. unless the supply of blood to the stomach Is deficient, nature works the cure. I
 The importance of healthy weli-oxi- dized blood Is shown by the fact that the stomach demands about nine times more blood during digestion than when 1t is empty. Tn fact, healthy blood Is necessary to the normal activity of the stomach and when 1t IS lacking noth- ing will more promptly restore the di- gestion than building up the blood. Pallor and weakness. gas on the stomach, sour risings in the throat, dizziness and shortuess of breath when appearing in cases of dyspepsia, point 10 a deficiency In the blood supply. Such case was that of Miss MaEaret Reilly, of No. 55 Thirty-seventh street. Milwaukee, Wis.
 T had weak stomach for q number | of years" she said. "and, although ] was careful in what I ate. 1t kept growing weaker. suffered intense | pain If ate hearty meal Gas form. ed on my stomach and caused me to be dizzy. My stomach was generally sour. was short of breath, had a saiIow complexion and felt dull all oi l the time. At times T was confined to bed for day or so.
 Il f"I was treated by a doctor at Anok q Mlnn.. and for Q time I thought he wal helping me. but when I stopped talk. | Ing his medicine I became worse i again. After had been sick for ( | year I began to use Dr.. Williams
 Pink Pills. I gave them good trial, fo
 soon saw they were helping me, ant
 was cured. I am in good health nov
 and so can heartily recommend Dr
 Williams Pink Pills"
 A great many people who are suffer
 ing from indigestion are suffering un
 necessarily. They can be cured. Tn
 first step is to send to the Dr. VII
 Hams Medicine Company. Schenectady
 N. T., for copy of their book "Wha
 to Eat and How to Eat.' It is ire
 on request.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold b,
 all druggists. or will be sent, postpaid

ball when it was snapped back ana as
the audience gasped he made q for
ward pass TO Brides, who got the ball
on Harvard's 7-yard line.
This was Yales chance at last. But
there was a groan of misery from the
Yale stands and ruars Of delight from
Harvard's supporters when Referee
Langford brought the bah back and
that the pass was Illegal, because il
was not outside the 5-yard limit.
Just 20 rub it in. Umpire Edwards
penalized COoney, who had replaced
BiddIe at Yale's center, FIVE yards for
on-side play. Harvard made a small
gain and then Cutler smashed Yale s
ncwly revived hopes by punting 10 the
Blues 3S-yard line. Smith now went in
for Kennard, who had gained fame
enough and to spare for all time in
Harvard's athletic history.
The game was ending in a Yale de-
feat on her own grounds, A moment OF
silence followed. broken only by the
hoarseiy-Worded signals Of Cutler as he
drove on his men to seal a field goal
with a touchdown. That was impOs-
sIble. as fruitiess for Harvard 10 at
tempt, as IT proved for Yale. once
moro Yale sot tho ball. once more Coy
was sent in for a final effort. again
Fish, the human Goliath, and his men
hurled back Yales hopes and Coy was
forced to punt
Harvard was advancing when the
whistle Of the referee ended the con-
test with the ball IN Harvard's posses
sion on her own 50-yard line. Final
score: Harvard, 4: Yale. 0.

Seven Tickets to Game

NEW YORK, Nov. I.-One Of the
passengers on the Lu5itania was so an
XlOus 20 see the Yale-Harvard football
game that he paid S2l5 for seven tickets
and spent at least SIS more in wireless
4 egraphing.
Two days before The Cunarder locked
the passenger telegraphed TO a broker
TO get him four tickets. The broker
couldn't find them and wired back 10
that effect The passenger tried two
other brokers. and both or these had
better luck. When he got of the ship yes
terday one had three tickets for which So
each was paid and the other four, which
cost &g5 apiece. The brokers said the
tickets were hard 10 get even at the
price
