tions of the Alimentary Tract.
 Invariably fatuIence and dizziness indi- cate the beginning of serious troubles, stomach and intestine troubles usually follow which sooner later develop symptoms of an alarming nature. Ca- tarrh of the stomach. gastrtis, constipa- ton, piles, liver troubles and a general breakdown of the health usually follow these symptoms when left to run their full course. When the stomach Is not performing it's proper duty the rest of the system Is sure to suffer. As it is a we'll known fact tAsta%1e stomach feeds the rest of the body and organs therefore many other diseases may arise, either di- rectly or indirectly from disorder of the stomach.
 Whenever there is the slightest indi- cation of fatulence of dizziness noticed 1t should be cared for at once that it may not develop more dangerous symp- toms. Charcoal is an excellent remedy for the stomach, relieving flatulence by absorbing the poisonous gases that accu- mulate in the stomach and aiding diges- tion and assimilation; it has a specific action upon this organ, and very rapid and positive action the system in general.
 Charcoal has been used for severaI thousand years, both as stomach regu- lator and an antidote for poisons taken in the stomach. The success of charcoal IS uuQueStlOuhpic.

Edmondson's little girl and little boy were found and the partial remains of two other bodies which could not be identi- fled. The family consisted of Tom Ed monson, his wife, his mother and two children. This leaves one person of the Edmondson family missing that no trace whatever has been found. Can the miss ing one be Tom Edmondson? Is 1t pos- sible that the strange man on the island in the river is Tom Edmondson?
 According to witnesses who testified in the trial of Bob Clements few days ago Tom Edmondson was simple-minded, but was a good farmer and able to look after the matters pertaining to his farm.
 The strange white man on the island below here will be called upon by officers of this county for the purpose of seeing whether or not he is Tom Edmondson.

Talladega, March 10.-(Special )-"Wa- terbound in the Ironaton calaboose!'- such was the dramatic exclamation of a prisoner yesterday in the lookup of the bastile in the City of the Twin Furnaces and Mud-dam. A flood, only exceeded by the shower of Noahs time was fall ing in great sheets-the immense pressure of the roaring waters broke the mud dam used by the company to detain the How from the washers, and the whole city of 1ronaton was flooded. When he heard the roar of water, gigantic Bill Strpland, who is the police force, mar shal, sheriff, revenue collector. sergeant at-arms, constable and army of Ironaton. remembering that a prisoner was im- mured in the gloomy walls of his Libby prison, broke into a sharp run to res cue the unhappy culprit from a wa tery grave. On reaching the spot and unlocking the door Bill discovered his man standing on tip-toe on an over turned slop bucket and heartily damning the prohibition law. With the assistance of blanks, logs, muscle and a rope Will liam brought out dripping, limp and disgusted prisoner to dry land and the people up there think Bill is entitled to the Carnegie medal. The calaboose door is now wide open, and the kids are using 1t as a bath house.

The torrential rain, beginning at 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, was probably the greatest that has ever fallen here. The storm sewers were choked. At the East street crossing of the Louisville and Nashville railroad the water was waist deep and pedestrians were ferried across by hackmen at cents per capita. The Henderson branch across the foot of Bat tie street was 300 yards wide. and deep enough to swim a horse. A trestIe was washed out at Barclays delaying South ern trains six hours-the section master finding the water over the trestle Tagged the train and thereby saved a wreck. Re- ports from other parts of the county show that cyclonic wind passed to the north west of Talladega from near Renfro to the neighborhood of Lincoln destroying everything in it's path, but wires are down and no definite news can be ob- tained.

Dear Sir: Nobody insures a $1,000
house for $4,000, because everybody
knows that the company pays only for
the damage whatever that was, and
no more.
If people knew that it costs twice as
much to paint with S1.25 paint as with
$I.75, there wouldn't be much SIPS
painting done.
There are people wno think $l.25 Is
cheap for paint, and they paint their
houses with it; two gallons for one.
IL takes two gallons of $1.25 paint to
make one gallon $1.75; and it costs
SO a gallon to paint it.
One gallon sl.75; SO for putting it
on; S475. That's the job
Two gallons $1.25 each $3.50; So for
putting it on; $3.50 That's that job.
1t isn't worth while to insure q
$1,000 house for $4,000; it isn't worth
wnile to paint two gallons for one. 1t
takes money. to pay for that extra
$1,000 that never can come; better buy
a lottery ticket. 1t takes money to
paint that extra gallon of whiting, Chi
ma clay barytes, ground stone, ben
zine, water, whatever it is-it isn't
paint; paint is lead-zinc and oil; that
stuff is skim milk, not paint. 1t isn't
worth while to paint skim milk.
Devoe is the paint that takes leas
gallons to cover the house-dont for
get the SO gollan for putting it on;
| and don't paint skim milk.
Yours truly,

Why They We're ere.
Certified

Being a state official and authorized
to authenticate documents | nave been
called upon in my official capacity TO
authenticate hundreds of statements
that are so at variance with the pop
ular beliefs, and the evidence of the
text books as to the durability of
chronic kidney disease, that the unus-
ual precaution was taken to have them
authenticated with an official seal.
Text books declare that infiamma-
ton of the kidneys in the chronic
forms is incurable.
Several hundred letters and state
ments selected because they were
from supposed incurables were pres
ented for attestation and certificates
The recoveries reported by them per-
NIT only two views, viz: either the
age of miracles has not passed or the
text books are wrong and the suppos-
ed dead line between the durable and
the incurable forms of kidney disease
has disappeared. To my mind there
is no escape from t1e latter view and
chronic kidney disease even in its
worst forms Is no longer an incurable
malady.
| further certify that the recoveries
certified to as above were made by
Fulton's Renal Compound.
In attestation of the foregoing i
hereby attach my signature and offic-
ial seal at my office in Montgomery
Block, San Francisco, California, this
2Stn day of February, 1908.
