The Birmingham (Ala.) Ledger in a
recent statement gives some interest
ing facts in connection with the eff
feet of prohibition in that large man.
ufacturing center of the Southland.
The statement shows that the voting
out of the 120 saloons in Birmingham
has not killed business. While the
revenue received from the saloon for
merly was $4,000, which was lost
when the saloons were abolished, a
large saving by the city of money. the
expenditure of which the presence of
the saloon made necessary, has equal
lied matters, SO that no increase in
taxation upon real and personal prop
erty in the city has been caused by the
no-license regime
The decrease in crime since prohi-
bition went into effect is As per cent.
The decrease in the number of homi-
c1des and assaults to kill is rs per
cent. The decrease in the number of
drunks in the city has been 20 per
cent, while the increase in the number

appropriately decorated for the occa-
sion. improvements have been put in
this winter which make it possible
to warm the skating rink; although
this was never possible in cold wealth
er before. A large number of the fore
most ladies of Roswell, selected from
the membership of the Associated
Charities and the Elk Lodge, on ac-
count of their reputation as entertain
ers have been named as patronesses
of the occasion, and, given under their
direction, the ball will be of a kind
and quality to suit the most particu-
lar. The tickets will be out in a few
days and it is expected that there
will be ready sale for them. Many
will buy who do not intend to go, on
account of the cause for which the
ball is given.

THIRTY YEARS A Slave to Coffee.

Many persons do not realize that coffee drinNink may become a power ful. enslaving habit
 They are not aware that coffee contains a drug-caffeine - which ought never to be taken into the sys- tenn except for certain diseases and then only when prescribed by the doctor
 The coffee habit grows on most users and is more harmful to some than others But a drug that acts upon the heart and nerves in the way caffeine does, is not without greater or less harm to all who drink coffee.
 For thirty years" writes a Wash. housewife, T have been a steady cof- fee drinker. I wanted it at every meal
 But I would have sick headache most of the day, and throw up my food really suffered awfully from coffee. yet thought I never could stop it.
 Then I heard how good Postum was for such cases. and began to use it At first I did not care for Pos tum. I felt sleepy and had headache. I soon found that this was because of the hold coffee had on me, for in about three days after I quit coffee and began to use Postum the head ache left me. had no more nervous ness and palpitatiOn. In about a week I felt like a new woman.
 "I have used POstum three years and when it is made according to di rectiOnS CbOiled 15 minuteS)-it is as pleasant as coffee and don't hurt anyone I ought to know for I was as bad off as anyone is likely to get from coffee drinking. Now I am we'll"

Justice Wickliffc had a busy after noon yesterday. Just before the O'Brien episode, Jose Mendez, the boy who left Tempe last week with a quantity of property that belonged to other parties was given a hearing. The lad. a bright little fellow of ap- parently only twelve or thirteen years of age, was brought over from Phoe- nix by Deputy Sheriff Theo. Olea. On the stand the boy told a story to the effect that he had taken the saddle with the consent of the owner. His back record however. did not do his case any good and he was sentenced to a hearing before Judge Kent. It Is altogether probable that he will land in the reform school as he is too young to be sent elsewhere and it is quite necessary that something be done with him.

he came to town in, but what really turned out to be another mans rig. O'Prien accounts for the accident on the theory that his partner left town without taking him along. The two rigs were tied nearby and when he got ready to go, he took what he thought was his own rig. for in his state of mind he did not recognize the differ ence. The story was well told and made a good impression on the judge. He ordered the case continued until this morning at ten o'clock and in the meantime O'Brien's partner will be expected to bring the rig to town. If there is as much similarity between the two outfits as O'Brien says there is. he will probably get out of the difficulty comparatively easy.
