Already the streets of Dallas have
taken on a purple and white tint, in

extend an invitation to the grand
lodge to hold next years meeting in

THERE IS NO SECRET About Our Cod Liver Prepara-
 tion-Vinol.

So many patent medicines and ad- vertised cures are now offered to the public that We want to call the spe- cial attention of the people of Mont gomery to the fact that Vinol Is not in any sense a secret or patent msdt- cine.
 For centuries medical men the world over have recognized the great tonic and curative elements contained in the cod's liver. but how to extract these medicinal clements from the useless and repulsive oil which en- veloped them has been the problem hitherto unsolved.
 This was finally accomplished by two eminent French chemists, and the result Is Vinol delicious modern cod liver preparation without oil. made by a scientific. attractive and concen- tratinE process from fresh cods' flyers. thus combining with peptonate of iron all the medicinal, healing, body build ing clements of cod liver oil, but no oil. A,
 As a body builder and strength creator for old people. delicate chil- dren. weak. rundown persons, atter sickness and for Chronic Coughs, Colds Bronchitis, and all throat and lung troubles, vinol is unexcelled. Try if on our offeT to return money if if fails to give satisfaction. P. G. Fowler, Druggist, Montgomery Ala: !.

RIGHT FOOD
How the Baby was saved.

''when our first baby came 1t was soon apparent that his mother could not nurse him and 1t became necessary to feed him artificial food, We tried everything recommended by our fam fly doctor. then consulted several other physicians in succession
 We experimented with nearly every artificial food but could barely keep the haby alive. and at the age of five months he weighed no mora than al birth. When eight months ord he had gained very little. and his stomach and bowels weer in such a condition that we despaired of raising him.
 "A chance acquaintance recommends ed Grape Nuts, and we commenced feeding him on it. soaking 1t until soft in warm water. as milk would not stay on his stomach.
 From the very first we saw that we had found the right food at last and he began to improve immediately. We fed him on Grape-N Nuts in this way and absolutely nothing else for several months, and he grew so fast and be- came so fat and strong that our friends were surprised and could scarcely be- ueve that 1t was the same child
 He did not even begin to crawl or on Grape Nuts. Until that time he was weak and helpless and cried nearly all the time. Nav he is a strong. bright. rosy-cheeked child of 1-2 years.'

Mobile. March 29.-(Speciai-)-As c1oeinr chapter in the sensational sfkbbinr and death of Stewart McRae, fhe well known Mobile business man of Mobile which occurred at Fair Hope last Labor Day, 1t Is stated by promi- nent attorneys returning from Bay Mi- neffe where J. H. Smith, the slayer or McRae is on trial. that Smith will in all probability be sent to the asylum for the Insane at Tuscaloosa.
 The case has been on trial for sew eral days at the county seat of Bald win County. in which the stabb!ng oc- cured, and has been adjourned until Tuesday next to allow an examination Into the sanity of Smith, 1t being claimed by attorneys for the defense that the slayer. who is deaf mute, was insane at the time of the stabbing and is now. The postponement was taken to allow time for the examina- ton and 1t is expected that when the commission brings in it's report at the mend that the defendant be sent to the insane asylum.
 It will be remembered that on Labor Day last year Mir. McFae was stabbed in the back and killed by Smith. while the former was visiting his family at Fair Hope, q summer resort on the Eastern shore where Mir. McRae's fam fly was stopping for the summer.
 Owing to the popularity of Mir. Mc- Rae Smith narrowly escaped violence and was taken on horseback hurriedly through the woods to the jail before the mob could determine on action. Mr. McRae fingered a few days and

WHAT WILLSTATEDO
FUTURE COURSE IN RAILROAD LIT-
 IGATION NOT DETERMINED.
Colonel Garb$r Objects to Statements Which Might He Construed That Appeal Would be Un.
 wOrthfly Taken.

No definite announcement has been made as to the future course of the at- torneys for the State in the railroad cases, in view of the adverse decision of Judge Jones in. the Alabama cases and of the United States Supreme Court in the Minnesota cases.
 Attorney General Garber said yes- terday that he had not had the oppor- tunity of examining the decision of the Supreme Court nor of reading the opin- ion in full of Judge Jones delivered Saturday nor had he had an opportun- ity of conferrinR with the other att torneys for the State. It was there fore improper to discuss the probable course of the States attorneys
 The Attorney General feels that one sentence in The Advrtiser's account of the decision rendered Saturday could be construed as imputing unworthy motives to the attorneys for the State, If an appeal was taken in the face of the two adverse decisions. The Attor- ney GeperaPs objection is directed to the sentence which ex2ressed the be- lief that the cases would be appealed, if for no other purpose than to keep them alive and before the public. In objection to this Colonel Garber makes the following statement:
 Every fair and broad minded citi- zen will concede to The Montgomery Advertiser the right to adhere. with unflagging firmness. to it's frequently expressed views of condemnation of the railroad rate legislation enacted by the last Legislature. It seems to me, how ever. that the ordinary rules of just and generous treatment would require that a great and patriotic State paper stop short of ascribing to State offi- cials sworn to serve the best inter ests of the State and her people. de- generate and ignoble conception of fidelity to duty.
 'I do not think in the statement from the paper quoted below, that The Advertiser intended to irnpute such mo- casual reader might gather such an The Advertiser of Sunday. March 2s. in referring to the effect of Judge Jones's opinion upon the railroad rate cases. and after stating that it is pos sible that the State will appeal from the decfsion.' although 1t is held by lawyers in view of the decisions in the Minnesota and the North Carolina cases that sn appeal in the Alabama cases would be useless, uses the fol- lowing language Gin possible inadvert- ency of its full meaning and signifi- cancel:
 "'Still the appeal will probably be taken. if for nothing else than to keen the cases alive and before the public.
 "As Attorney General of Alabama and the official head of this litigation in the Federal Court on behalf of the State. I feel impelled from sense of justice to myself and associate counsel officially and personally to refute the suggestion thus made.
 "The people of Alabama may be earn estly asured that if an appeal is taken from Judge Jones's decision on the preliminary questions submitted to the court in January, such action will be taken by the attorneys for the State with a higher and nobler purpose than to keep the cases alive and before the public

For Coast ArtIIIery.

Through advices from the War De- partment, efforts are being made to organize company of coast artillery in this city. and it Is believed that a company will soon be gotten together. The department has made an appropri- ation for four companies of artillery, to be used as supports for the regular artillery stationed at the army posts. and these companies if they can be organized will be equipped and main tained by the Government.
 The recent encampment of the Flor ida State troops at the local forts, when Pensacola was not even repre- sented by a company. of infantry, awakened not only the residents. but the State and Government officials to the necessity of having artillery com panies organized here, and the effort is now being made.
