The new theory (hacked up by his
preDaration) advanced by L. T. Cooper
with regard to the cause of most i'll
health Of the present generation is be
ire sown broadcast by this young man.
Cooper believes that the human
stomach has become degenerate in
civilized races and claims that good
health is impossible unless the stom-
ach is re-vitalized. This he claims to
do with mis- preparation.
Reports that preceded Mr.. COoper's
visit here told of his success in other
localities, but the immense success of
his medicine and the general belief in
his theory was wholly unprecedented.
so great is the rush of the public
10 this young man that people stand
in line waiting their turn for hours in
an effort to see him. The most inter-
esting feature of this is statements
made by reliable citizens as to tne
actual accomplishments of Cooper's
medicine. Among recent statements of
this character the following is a fair
example:

BATTALION DRILL
 AT FAIR GROUNDS

One of the features of the programme for the present week at the State Fair will be the battalion drill to be given by the Jefferson county military companies on Thursday night in the arena before the grandstand.
 The affair promises to be one of the most brilliant military occasions in which the troops of the county have ever partic- ipated and it is expected that there will be fully $50 members of the Alabama Ma tional Guard in attendance. An effort is being made to have all of the staff of- ficers present, in which case the com panies will pass in review before them. Five companies will participate, three in fantry companies, the battery and cav airy, as follows: Company A, Troop D, Battery D, Company G and Company K.
 It is very likely that besides the bat talion drill there will be special drills given by Company A and Company G. The drill will be one of the big attrac- tions at the fair, as on previous occasions they have always drawn large crowds.
 Arrangements have been made with the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company to have special cars to carry the soldier boys to the fair grounds Riccis band will furnish the music for the oc- ca sion.

TROOP D SMOKER
 GIVEN TONIGHT

Capt. Cliff s. Price, the newly elected captain of Troop D, First cavalry, Ala bama National Guard, will give smoker to the troop in the armory at the city hall tonight at o'clock. Every member of the troop will be expected to attend and imperative orders have been issued to that effect.
 The affair will be given in connection with the regular weekly meeting of the troop. There are several business items of interest to be taken up by the troop. It is very probable that Captain Price will announce the appointment of his non-commissioned officers.
 Captain Price was elected as the com manding officer of Troop D at it's last meeting. He fills the position made va cant by the resignation of Malcolm M Stewart, who left the troop for business reasons. Captain Price was formerly the commanding officer of Troop D and is one of the most popular men in military circles in the state. He has recently held the position of adjutant on Major Noble's staff, which position he will give up for the captaincy of Troop D.
 Captain Price has been elected for the regular term of three years and he will assume the command of the troop imme- diately.

WANTED TO KNOW The Truth About Grape-Nuts Food,

It doesn't matter so much what you hear about a thing, it's what you know that counts. And correct knowledge is most likely to come from personal cx- perience.
 About year ago." writes a N. Y. man, 'I was bothered by indigestion, es- pecially during the forenoon. l tried sev- eral remedies without any permanent inn provement.
 My breakfast usually consisted of oat- meal. steak or chops, bread, coffee and some fruit
 Hearing so much about Grape-Nuts ] concluded to give it trial and find out if all l had heard of it was true
 So 1 began with Grape Nuts and cream, soft boiled eggs, toast, a cup of Postum and some fruit Before the end of the first week I was rid of the acidity of the stomach and felt much relieved.
 By the end of the second week all traces of indigestion had disappeared and was in first rate health once more. Be- fore beginning this course of diet, I nev- CT had an appetite for lunch, but now I can enjoy a hearty meal at noon time" There's a Reason"

GENTRY BROS. SHOW
 COMING SATURDAY

The Gentry Bros dog and pony show, which institution has built itself up by catering largely to ladies and children, is again coming to Birmingham. The time honored banners of red and white pro- claim the entree for Saturday, October 1T.
 The Gentry shows this year are larger than ever before. This is the twentieth season of the show. When the first winds of fall began to blow the two shows sent out from winter quarters were merged into one. They met at Leesburg, Va, since then as one they have made their way to Dixie.
 The scope of the trained animals also has been enlarged. Two years ago ele- phants were added to the educated family. Inasmuch as the Gentry Bros. had gone to the limit among big animals, they had to take another tangent to increase their troupe.
 It seems they went to an extreme, as the new addition is the lowly, meek house cat. The feline is by no means the least feature of the show. Her act with a monkey, a pig. two dogs and two sheep constitutes the latest marvel in trained animaldom.

MINER HURT BY
 FALLING ROOF

The falling in of the roof in the Bloc ton coal mines at noon Saturday result ed in very serious injuries to Jake zino- mon, one of the miners. His left leg and left arm were crushed and amputation of both will very probably be necessary.
 He was brought to Birmingham, arriv- fling here at $50 o'clock. The train was met by Shaw & Sons ambulance and the injured man taken to Browns infrmary. Details of the cause of the accident are lacking, but it is said it was caused by the breaking of timbers. which caused about two tons of coal to fall upon zino- mon, who was working directly under that part of the roof which caved in.

 Every part of the state will be repre- scented at this convention. Every train arriving in Birmingham yesterday brought it's quota Of postma 7fssrs while each train today will be filled with postmasters from every nook in Alabama. A large per- eentage of them will be accompanied by their families and friends. whigh will swell the total attendance figures to way up in the hundreds.
 The postmasters will be the guests of the fair on Wednesday, this day being down on the fair programme as Post masters Day. A number of speeches will be made while a barbecue will also be served the postmasters on the grounds.

FIGHTS ON
 THE NEW AMENDMENTS

the campaign committees of both sides, speeches will be made over the state and in those counties directly interested. The fight will be waged until the last day.
 The committee, of which Walker Percy is chairman, appointed by the Cohmer- cial club to draft an address to the peo- pie of the state setting forth the objec- tions to the amendment, will meet at some time today, and give out such an address for publication. The Bessemer people will probably be represented by H. l.. Badham in an interview setting forth their viewpoint.
 Now that this opposition has developed, it seems that all three proposed amend ments to the constitution will have a hard row to travel. The business men are fighting the biennial sessions, there is considerable opposition to the good roads amendment and Birmingham Is aroused over the new county proposition. The good roads amendment is said to have the best chance of passage.
