Old Man
 Used Drugs
Was Cured At Age of 63-He Says; "I Have No Desire Whatever For Morphine and I Would Die Before I Would Take
 Dose..

You have never requested me to write a word of this but you are at liberty to publish it if you see fit
 l have been waiting to see if I am a cured man, or if l would desire more morphine before I said a word to you or anybody else about it. I gave you an honest statement of my case and you have treated me honestly as physicians and business men in every way and today I am glad to say l am well man.
 I have no desire whatever for morphine and would die before taking another dose. l gained 45 pounds in thirty days, during the treatment, and am in better health than l have been in ten years. Although l am 63 years old I can walk 9 30 miles day and can do any kind of work as rapidly as l could at 45 years.

Business Steadily Improving.

sive improvements by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company and the in- dustrial activity among the various plants in and around Ensley, business conditions are steadily improving. In real estate circles there is steady demand for the better class of dwelling houses and vacant property is rapidly being filled up. While there are a number of vacant houses in the outskirts of the city the constant re- quest for dwellings will soon fill them up. Many inquiries are made in regard to property and indications point to much ac- tivity in real estate in the next few months. Prices have remained firm, not wltbstanding the recent depression with a decided upward tendency in prices.

Thumbscrews as Aid to Beauty.

From Popular Mechanics.
 In oIden times, thumbscrews were used to torture prisoners into confession, and thus gain from them secrets that only intense bodily pain would bring forth; but this, with many other flendinsh means of torture, was left behind by advancing civilization. Now, however, 1t has made it's appearance again, but as means of self-innicted torture. It is the newest aid to-beauty fad of Europe, and its mission is to squeeze the tips of the fingers until they change from fat and pudgy to long and tapering.

been lost and heavy property damage
been caused by floods in the North
Platte river and ITS tributaries.
The North Platte Is at record flood
stage and continues to rise at the rate
Of half an inch an hour. Bridges have

Ben Wiederander, his sister and her a
year-Old child, who were driving in "A
wagon, were precipitated into the water
by the breaking Of the bridge.
The child was drowned. The horses and
wagon were swept away by the raging
torrent and the animals were drowned
also Ordinarily the gulch over which the
bridge runs is a dry bed. From all sec
lions come reports of irrigation bitches
being wrecked by floods and great dam
