"Vinol is a godsend to old people. am 76 years old, but l have hearty appetite, sleep soundly, and feel active and well to-day-thanks to Vinol.

It Is the finest tonic and strength-creator ] ever used"
 Mrs. II. W. Avery, Norwich, N. r., says: At the age of eighty-nine I felt the need of tonic. something to strengthen and build mo up. For some time I have taken Vlnol, and have found that 1t brings vigor and life to the aged as nothing else will"

FOLEY UNAFFECTED
Holds Another Hearing on Building Lines Despite
 the Aldermen.
POINTS TO THE CHARTER
Claims It as His Duty in Office to Do So and Also to Pass on
 Legality.

Although one of the other points of objection made in the board of alder men Monday night against the action of Director of Public Works Foley, when the suggestion of impeachment was made was that he was holding public hearings on building line orders that the board of aldermen had passed which was claimed to be beyond his power under tho charter, the director showed that the criticism is not affect ing him any by holding another of these hearings yesterday afternoon In his office. At this hearing five peti- tions for building lines, all of which have been ordered by the aldermen were taken up. No decisions have been announced on them.
 Director Foley explained his stand on the matter yesterday by stating that the charter required that he give mo- tice to all persons whose property would be taken or affected in any way by proposed building line and give them a chance to be heard before the line could be laid out and assessment of benefits and damages made. Whether this has been the custom for somc years past he declined to state but he declared that he has followed it on everything that has come before him since he has been in office. The au- thorlty for the hearing Is based on section 7S of the city charter.
 Regarding the suggestion of veto In connection with the matters MT. Foley declared that on petitions that came to a department to be executed It was part of the duty of that department to ascertain whether the action con templated was legal or not and to act accordingly. On the matters which he had not carried out because he felt they were illegal he said that he felt his department would be responsible If in consequence of any Illegal act damages were collected from the city. In petitions coming to department to be executed he said tho mayor did not decide on the legal status of the petition but that was left up to the department and his actions were strictly in accordance with his duty he believed.
 He pointed ont that some petitions were just reaching him now that had been passed months ago and that many others had been passed by the aldermen which had been acted on so far as buildings were concerned which had never been before his de- partment at all He also added that the corporation counsel had given him reason to believe that 1t was doubtful if it was legal to pass an order for a building line in front of one piece of property only and on the strength of that he was acting Other petitions he objected to on the ground that were made by people who did not own any property on the street for which the line was asked and he said he would like to know what right they had to have building lines changed on streets where they owned no property If he was to be impeached for combating these con ditions he said he would welcome the impeachment

TIE |RON MARKET
 IMPROVES SLOWLY
Early Purchase 0f 10000 Cars
 Promised
BIG ENSLEY IMPROVEMENTS
Four Cleveland Concerns Sell More Than 100000 Tons During the Past Week-Merchant Pipe Man
 ufacturers Harmonize.

Cleveland, September 16.-The Iron Trade Review will say tomorrow:
 The past week has emphasized the slowness of recovery which has char acterized the market during the past six months. It is not safe, however, to judge the future by the dullness of a week or of several weeks. The general situation has been helped very little so far by railroad buying, but there is a prospect of the ordering of some 10000 freight cars at an early date. The German pig iron syndicate has dissolved, and the German market is much depressed. The English market shows slight improvement.
 The United States Steel corporation will spend about s2,0OO,OOO in rebuilding three furnaces at Ensley, Ala, and making other improvements to the plant of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany.
 More interest is being shown in the iron ore market and sales of four Cleve- land concerns during the past week amounted to more than 100000 tons. Min ing operations have been affected some what by miners quitting work to fight forest fires.
 Although melters of pig iron are talk ing iron under contract freely, and con- ditions are for the most part favorable, sales are not large, and the reselling of some southern iron has had a weakening effect on the southern product. Dullness prevails in nearly all parts of the coun- try. Neither inquiries nor sales of struc- tural material are heavy.
 Municipal and government contracts promise to soon call for a large tonnage of plates and shapes.
 Car orders placed during the week amounted to 6sOO and the St. Paul system has received quotations on steel under frames for 2500 cars to be built in its own shops. It is expected that orders for about 2O,Oe0 cars win soon be placed. Cutting of prices on sheets will be not so active.
 Temperance legislation has had the ef- feet of decreasing the demand for hoops. Merchant pipe manufacturers are now acting in harmony.
 Owing to the long-continued drouth number of coke plants have been com pelled to stop operations. Labor diff ficulties in the coke regions are also causing embarrassment.

Beauty and Bad Breath
Cannot Go Together No Matter How a
 Woman May Try to Make Them.

It does not matter how beautiful 0 woman may be, if she Is afflicted with bad breath she will be summed and pitied by men and even women will studiously avoid her.
 If any woman doubts this statement let her make point of asking a friend in whom she may confide, a man friend or relative. If he be honest he will tell her that foul breath from the mouth of woman will drive men from her more rapidly than any other personal af- fiction.
 Foul breath arouses in man disgust and where this quality is brought into play no amount of self-denial or req sonfng can overcome the natural repug- nance which comes to man when he is in company with such a woman.
 What is true of bad breath in woman is not true in so great a degree in men. Women are looked upon as the incar- nation of sweetness, breeding, virtue and refinement. Foul breath will sick en a man so that he cannot feel for such woman companionship neces- sary to make him desire to be in her company.
 There Is absolutely no occasion for bad breath in either men or women. Charcoal, the strongest absorbent known, when taken into the stomach
 
 or affiiction.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold in tremendous quantities all over Amer ica and Canada. They cure and have cured all forms of bad breath. A single box will convince you of this fact. One Isshould eat some of these lozenges after each meal and upon retiring. You might eat fifty of them without harm. They are not medicine, but pure will low charcoal mixed with sweet honey to make them palatable and compressed into a lozenge to preserve heir pecu- liar and lasting strength. The next time you wish to go into company and don't want your foul breath to humiliate you, eat several of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges and your breath will be pure and sweet. Every druggist carries them, price 20 cents, or send us your name and ad- dress and we will send you a trial package by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 200 Stuart Bldg. Marshall, Mich.

SAM BAILEY SHOOTS ALLEN AT OPELIKA
WOUNDED MAN IS HIT FIVE TIMES WITH SMITH G WESSON 3s-CALI- ERE BALLS-ALLEN IS STILL ALIVE.

Opelika, September 6-(Special.)- "A tragedy occurred on the streets in this city this afternoon as a result of a diff ficulty between two well-known citizens, Sam Bailey and Lee Allen. Bailey shot Allen five times with a Smith & Wesson 9S-calibre in front of the soft drink sa- loon of the former. Three of the shots passed through the body in different places and two of the balls lodged in the body. The wounded man. supported by friends, walked to the Hotel Mecca and was carried to his room. He was attend ed by several physicians and for several hours has been resting quietly, though little hope is entertained for his recov- cry.

ANTHRACNOSE IS
 INJURING COTTON
INJURY IS BELIEVED TO BE FROM 10 TO 25 PER CENT IN COUNTIES WHERE BLIGHT HAS APPEARED. MUCH APPREHENSION.

Atlanta, September 16.-(Special.)- "Anthracnose is damaging the cotton crop of Georgia fro m10 to 25 per cent in those counties where it has made it's appearance" states Prof. E. L. Wor- sham, state entomologist, after return ing from a visit to south Georgia, where he made an investigation of crops that had been attacked. So far this dread disease, which causes the bolls to rot before opening, has attacked the fol- lowing counties: Ebert, Morgan, Jeff ferson, Mcintosh, Taliaferro and Mon roe. The department is conducting an experiment on Buffers Island, which was attacked by anthracnose last year, and between 50 and 75 per cent of the growing crop there destroyed, where 1t is hoped that variety of cotton may be grown which will withstand the rav- ages of this disease.
 With the entry of this new disease upon the growing cotton crops of the state, no estimate can be placed upon the damage that it will do.
 In those counties where it has not yet appeared the planters are watching with alarm for its appearance.
 The Georgia cotton crop is rapidly coming to picking stage and the gins and cotton oil mills are busy with tn cir burden. The cotton seed has become valuable asset of the crop and are be- ing crushed into cotton seed meal and hulls for cattle and cotton seed oil for continental purposes throughout the south.
 The planters are taking every precau- tion to preserve the, cotton seed and secure the best possible results from crushing tn em.

WHITE SUCCEEDS
 H, 5. D. MALLORY
As Chairman State Democratic
 Executive Committee
BALLOT ON AMENDMENT
Committee Rules That All Ballots Shall Be Included In One to Save Con- fusion-Campaien Commit
 tee Holds Meeting.

Montgomery, September 16.-(speeial.)- )- Following the resignation of H. s. D.. Mallory, chairman, today, Frank 5. White, of Birmingham, was elected to head the state executive committee of the democratic party. The nomination was made by John Gamble. of Pike, and the selection was unanimous, no other name being presented. Resolutions of re- gret at the retirement of Colonel Mallory were prepared and adopted by a com- mittee composed of Messrs. Nesbitt, de Graffenreid and Renfro. The resignation is to become effective November 15, after the general election.
 The committee decided the contest for the nomination for superintendent of ed- ucation in Tallapoosa county In favor of J. P. Oliver, who, on the face of the primary returns, was on vote ahead of his opponent, c. L. Bell. The county committee had ruled that as the two men were so close together they both should run, thus obviating a new pri- mary. The state committee took the position that the selection of the pri- mary was final and that MT. Oliver had won the right to be the nominee of the democrats of his county. It also rebuked the county committee for thus going behind the returns, so to speak, it being held that choice was expressed by the voters,
