remember that there were no typewrit-

PAY VAGRANTS'
 BOARD BILL; New Vagrancy Law is
 Not Perfect. IT COSTS THE STATE MONEY Some vagr4nts Prefer to Board in
 Jail. The Practical Operation of she va- sraney Law Seems Defective in
 ope or Two Particu-

gn examining a ruling yesterday by Attorney General Alex M. Garber on the terms of the Alabama vagrancy statute. the discouraging impression is gained that part of the purposes of the law are being defeated in the way 1t is being enforced in the various counties of the State.
 The Attorney General takes the po- sition that the offense of vagrancy is punishable by either . fine or a jail or hard labor sentence. If, on convict ion and imposition of the fine the lat ter is not paid.
 In cases too numerous for the health of the State Treasury, prison srs of the vagrancy class have been State Auditor sought to know if the present law did not provide for either dne or hard labor. To provide for these alternatives of punishment Is as far as the statute goes, but 1t is held that the class of offense in question Is punishabls in the code by tail sen- tsnce.
 The opinion in this regard by the Attorney General was given in answer to an inquiry from the Sheriff of Mo- biie County. The impracticable feat ure of the law, II appears, is that there are no few warrants. professional in their class. who would just as soon be in some of the comfortable 3ails of the State as out in bodily freedom. Ger tainlv 1t is contended that some of them fare better under the care of the jai1- CTS and make no desperate efforts to dodge the arrestinR officers.
 How the State could be relieved of the extra cost of feeding these prison CTS is problem the guardian of the States strong box would like to have solved.

SET FOR APRIL lsT
MONTGOMERY BIC FREIGHT CASE
 TO BE HEARD.
The Date for Interstate Commerce. Com- maissfom Hearing is Agreed on g By Both Sides.

It was officially announced yesterday by Manager H. S. Kealhofer of the Montgomery Freight Bureau, that the date for the hearing of the complaint of the Bureau has been definitely fixed for April 1. This is the day agreed upon by the railroads and the manage ment of the Bureau, and the hour at which the hearing before the Inter state Commerce Commission will begin is 10 o'clock in the morning.
 This visit of the Interstate Commerce Commission will be looked forward to with much interest as upon ;ts decision will hang strong expectations of the large distributing shippers of Mont Eomery.
 The principal complaint that will be threshed out between Montgomery shippers and the railroads is that there is an alleged discrimination of whole sale nature in favor of Mobile. Pensa- cola apd Birmingham as against Mont. gomery on interstate shipments iron, the North and Northwest. The com plaint is that there is zone in and around Montgomery where important and necessary articles and commodities are shipped through distributors in Mobile and Pensacola at rates so much lower than the through rates via Mont gomery that competition is crush ed for Montgomery dealers. The complaint rests chiefly on trafic for Ohio and Mississippi River crossings and beyond.

A dizzy, uncertain feeling is one of the results of cof. fee drinking.
 Anyone so annoyed, can find relief by quitting cof- fee and changing to Postum.
 Postum is made of wheat which is a true food, and the bran-coat containing the phos- phate of potash is included in this health beverage. This phosphate is used by nature in replacing wasted brain and nerve cells. Boil Postum to get the food values and the favour.
