Van hoose Writes Letter.

MT. Joseph B. Babb Secretary, City.
 Dear Sir: Replying to yours of the 18th, I very much regret that l will not be in Birmingham on Friday, the 20th, to take part in the meeting to which you re- fer.
 I am indeed glad to see this matter again agitated, and sinceis4y trust that something definite will at last come out of this long continued agitation. It Is to be deeply regretted that the Birmine- ham district has not long ago aroused itself to this tremendously important aues- tion, and solved it in a manner befitting the brains and interests of the men who have done so much toward developing this district.
 In this connection I think it might be proper to say that have been appointed a member of the water committee, formed by the Board of Trade. and I feel sure that that committee will do everything in committee formed by the Commercial club. This matter will of course not be gone into in any narrow partisan spirit; along broad lines 1t should be considered and planned, not only for the immediate future, but also for such expansion as this wonderful district is certainly going to demand in the near future.
 In January 1, 1903. edition of The Age Herald there appears a paper which I prepared upon this subject, and I yet be- lieve that much which was then sug- gested Is today still sound and practica- ble. Yours truly,
 I. A. VANHOOSE

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Read of Jefferson Davis.
ie Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The AgeHerald:
 The dispatches note that the Lincoln committee of New York have requested that all schools in this country shall read Llncoln's Gettysburg address on the centenary of his birth. February F, 1909
 This is not only very proper and pa- triotic; 1t is very practical. Our New York friends know that no Rome of result was ever built in 8 day They have example before them in the slug gish and perfunctory way in which Mrs. Cornelia Branch Stones strong appeal to the schools of the south for Jeffer- son Davis centennial was treated.
 To amend that, in part Mrs. J. w. oBhan, president of the Confederate Me morial association, has written to all the circles of that order to present to the schools, so far as possible, the neglected pictures of Mir Davis on the anniversary of his death, December 6, 1908.
 This is well and useful. but picture is often meaningless, or It's impress trans- itory, without accompanying sound. Hence I suggest that every scnool in the south read some utterance Of Jefferson Davis on that day or on the Monday succeeding as his debate with Sargent S. Prentiss, ter from his Rise and Fall" or from Mrs. Davis biography of her husband. All these are accessible in almost any H. brary. T. c. DeLEON.

NEW LIFE Found In Change to Right Food.

After one suffers from acid dyspepsia, sour stomach. for months and then finds the remedy is in getting the right kind of food, it is something to speak out about.
 A New York lady and her young son had such an experience and she wants others to know how to get relief. She writes
 For about 15 months my little boy and myself had suffered with sour stomach. We were unable to retain much of anything we ate.
 After suffering in this way for so long l decided to consult a specialist in stomach diseases. Instead of pre- scribing drugs, he put us both on Grape Nuts and we began to improve immediately.
 Tt was the key to a new life. found We had been eating too much heavy food which we could not digest. In a few weeks after commencing Grape Nuts l was able to do my house work. l wake in the morning with clear head and feel rested and have no sour stomach. My boy sleeps well and wakes with a laugh.
 We have regained our lost weight and continue to eat Grape Nuts for both the morning and evening meals. We are well and happy and owe it to Grape Nuts" There's a Reason"

The Morris Hotel.

The Morris cafe has been thronged at the midday hour with the generous pat ronage of ladies and gentlemen who like the good things served in such excellent style at this place. All the delicacies of the season are offered in the highest style of the culinary art. Fish and oysters are especially nice, considering the early season.
 The Hotel Morris. under the manage ment of the Messrs. Scoville. has come to be recognized as the most distinctly exclusive hotel in the city. It is receiv- ing the patronage of many public men who fer years have been accustomed to make this headquarters. The spacious lobby and excellent corps of employees. well trained servants, the scrupulous cleanli- ness of the establishment make it an ideal place for the travelling public.

Colonel Bush Gives Views.


 MT. J. B. Babb, Secretary Commercial
 Club, City:
 Dear Sir-I regret that absence from home will prevent my attending the meet ing tomorrow afternoon. The subject to be discussed I think is of great inter- est to this city and district, and I hope that the discussion will lead to some prob able plans for supplying the, water needed that the investigation of this question should be put in the hands of a competent commission. or authorized competent per sons, so that safe and reliable data may be had as to the quantity of water needed, the quantity to be obtained and the esti- mated cost of same. l am strongly of the opinion that as the water to be supplied is to serve various communities in this district, if possible the burden should be jointly borne by the county and the cities to be benefited. It does pot occur to me as a wise thing for the city to dis solve the injunction against North Bir- mingham with reference to issuing of bonds for water purposes until definite plans can be decided upon. This injunc- tion can be dissolved at any time that it may be thought advisable. While, as l understand, the real need is for water for manufacturing purposes, I think at the same time the city ought to take steps if possible, to acquire, on a reasonable basis, the ownership of the water plant now sup plying water for domestic use. l know of no city of importance now that does not control it's own water supply, and reasons are obvious why every city should do so If practicable Very truly yours,
 "T G. BUSH"

Mccartin Makes Statement.

MT. McCartin said after the meeting last light: Any man who intimates that I have ever been party to any deal in Birmingham in any way whatsoever con- nected with my official position, is slanderer I am satisfied with what I have accomplished. I expect to make many more improvements. I have not time to bother with the professional kicker or the man who Is never satis- fled with that which Is done well.
 sI want to do those things which Br- mingham is entitled to have done. am satisfied with my position and I believe that the great masses of Birmingham are satisfied with the work which have done"

 Kick on License.-Hunters in Jeffer- son county are kicking on the way in which the hunters license certificate is gotten up. It is printed on piece of cardboard, which folds twice. This folding it is saids causes the card to split easily, which proves very trouble some to the hunters, it being a very easy natter to lose part of the permit. Suggestions have been made that small CT type could be used and the entire business placed on smaller piece of cardboard, which would not have to be folded.
