A POLICEMAN'S LOT May Be a Happy One After All.

An Illinois ex-ehief of police found an easy and safe way out of the ills caused by coffee He says;
 'I suffered intensely from heart trouble and nervousness for five years. and sicians fa this city, did not get perma- nent relief until changed from coffee to Postum.
 "A friend of my family was visiting at our house and seeing my condition, in sisted that coffee was at the bottom of my trouble. I confess I was skeptical but promised to try Postum in place of coffee.
 Tt was nearly three weeks before I noticed much of any change, as my case was a bad one. Then I saw that my nervousness was gradually disappearing A little later I was able to sleep a part of the night on my left side, something I had been unable to do for five years at least.
 "I kept on using Postum and the re- suit is, so far as heart trouble and ner- vousness are concerned, I am a well man.
 ''The best proof is that I am writing this with my own hand. thing I was unable to do for several years prior to the change from coffee to Postum.'
 There's a Reason"
 Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. Read .'The Road to Well- ville." in pkgs.

OBJECTIONS TO
 BIENNIAL SESSIONS
To the Editor of The -Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 There seem to be some potent reasons why the voters of this state should op- pose the proposed amendment to the con- stitution providing for biennial sessions of the legislature instead of quadrennial ses- sions. The change, as I understand it, was made in the constitutions because the people were dissatisfied with the previous methods which prevailed for a great many years. If there was any reason for mak- ing the change (and the constitutional convention, in it's wisdom, seemed to think there was), then there must be some reason for giving the new plan fair trial. Instead of that change is pro- posed before the members of the legisa- ture, elected to the first quadrennial ses- sion, have served out their first term.
 It is well understood that if occasion arises for the assembling of the legisla- ture more than once in four wears, it is in the power of the governor to call such meeting, and that such can be done is evil denced by the fact that it has been done. To compel the legislature to meet once every two years is to force the ex- penditure of probably $1oo,ooO or more, unnecessarily, and also to inflict the people of this state with more laws, which are made by volumes by each legislature.
 Neither the people nor the lawyers un- derstand all of the laws which We now have, and it seems to me that we are entitled to a rest. As to the argument that the legislature should come fresh from the people every two years there is nothing in that, as old members of the legislature would be in touch with the people as much as newly elected members would be. In addition to that there is as much reason why the governor should come fresh from the people every two years as the legislature, and yet this amendment, it appears, makes no pro- vision for electing the governor every two years. It is very much hoped that the people will vote down this proposed amendment, and I think on proper re- 1ection they will do so. Respectfully.

pleted this morning. The contestants in both of these races will reach a large number.
 Between the races the 10 big free amuse- ments will be interspersed. Hardy, the wire walker, King of Niagara" will ap- pear in his tramp clothes, and draw the attention of the crowds to his amusing and graceful performance on the high
 wire. He is the king ,of his profession,
 having cooked his meal on wire stretched across Niagara Falls, and ao.
 complished tricks over the big waters which gave him fame all over the world.
 The flying Valentines compose a troup of four athletes who have an act in which no apparatus whatever is used. but by muscular strength and slight of hand
 they are seen flying through the air, doing strange turns and deserving the loud applause which they always secure. Spellman's bears, trained by Mile. Spell i man herself, in their rolling, tumbling
 waiting and dancing tricks, will entertain the children for a half hour. These are the animals which starred for three weeks I in the Hippodrome at New r ork and have
 proven their worth at Nashville and Memphis.
 The balloon races are all arranged The
 pits for in1atng have been dug and the
 big canvass bags will rise side by side At the same minute they will be turned
 loose and the aeronauts will contend for
 the longest trip in limited time. The high school horses are animals in
 whose tricks there is much local pride
 They were trained in Birmingham, and
 at the very fair grounds to which they now come after a successful trip around the circuit
 For the last has been saved the best.
 Dare Devil Schreyer will make his flying leap from the big chute through 145 feet of space. This marvellous act is the one for which the eager crowds will wait with
 most pleasure. but no sooner will their gasps at his daring be lost in the winds than they will have to set out on the run Down the Line to see Mat Gay, the high diver, turn his backward somer- sauft from height of 115 feet.
 At 7.45 p. m. the grandstand perform ances will be repeated, with the band con- cert, two basketball games. and at s:S0 D. m. the big fireworks display will be touched off. Nothing like it has ever been seen in Birmingham before. It will continue 20 minutes, and will be fitting close to the first days big events The success of the fair is already as- sured. The fair management is delight ed, and the people who have been on the grounds are enthusiastic in their re- ports. Expecting the big crowds, the in large number, 50 booths being used by lunch stands alone.
 In response to the invitation of the merchants of Birmingham, the good roads advocates. the commercial trav- elers and the fair management, fully 100- 900 people are expected in Birmingham this week.

 BLIND TIGERS

eDspite the receipt of black hand let ters threatening death if the war being waged against blind tigers did not cease officers of both the sheriff's and police departments have eontinued to search for evidence against alleged blind tiger opera tors, and few arrests have followed.

The woman was not taken to the county jail but allowed liberty. on her own recog- nizance.
