Cigarette
Smokers
Can Be Cured-This Man
Smoked Cigarettes
For Ten Years
Could Not Sleep without Smoking
During the Night and As n Result
Never Felt Like Getting Up

I feel it my duty to let the unfortunate
Cigarette F1end' know that there Is a.
cure for the cigarette habit no matter
how long or to what extent one has been
using these lfe-destroying agents Of the
devil In my case I had been smoking
cigarettes since I was 10 years old. The
desire for cigarettes was such that my
first thought on arising in the morning
and my last thought at night before re-
firing was a Cigarette" and finally I
got so ] would wake during the night
and inhale the smoke from a cigarette
before I could again go to sleep. AS a
result of the constant use of cigarettes
during the night I would not feel like
getting up in the morning, feeling SO
tired that had neither energy to arise
nor appetite at breakfast time, conse-
ouently I would take my breakfast to
my place of business and maybe eat 1t
later on In fact. I had little appetite
at any time, and weighed only 1l9 pounds.
whereas, since taking your treatment
now weigh 40 pounds
/ want to tell all cigarette users that IL
thew will take course of your Specially
Prepared Home Treatment In accordance
with directions that accompany each
course of treatment, that they will not
only get rid of all desire or necessity for
cigarettes. but their general health will
be greatly improved. YouS truly,

Extend Postoffice Hours.

An effort will be made by the business
men of the city to have the postoffice re-
main open all night, or at least to have
the present hours extended, and the lobby
remain open for the convenience of those
who have boxes. AS the hours stand at
present 1t causes great inconvenience to
the workingmen as they are at their oc-
equations before the office opens and re-
turn home after it is closed. To have the
office remain open all night would mean
a better service for Bessemer, and Vicin-
ity A vigorous attempt will be made to
have the hours extended.

Bessemer team. Indications point to a
hard struggle as Bessemer held Owenton
to and Birmingham only scored % on
the University High school. The local
team is both heavy and fast, having de-
veloped well under the coaching of one OF
the instructors.
1t is very probable that night school
will be started in Bessemer for the bene-
fit of those who are unable to attend the

being done Is crowded to its capacity
at each of the daily services and at

He sticks to the text which is in
yariably taken from the Bible, and I'M

BROADWAY THEATER.
Lew WEIGH in "The Shoemaker"

MelodTamas, like the rest, come and
go, but the new play which VIII intro
duce Lew WEIGH, the in1mitable come
dian and character actor, in an entirely
novel part, is designed to have long
life. 1t is by Hal Reid and called
''The Shoemaker" and will be at the
Broadway theater on Monday Feb. /.
During the four acts of this latest play
there is not dull period. The scenes
shift from the heart Of the Bowery,
New York, to the far west. Mr.. WEIGH
has a role that must needs enhance his
present enviable reputation He will
appear as Morris Goldberg, a trusting
and confiding Hebrew shoemaker who
belives that everyone is honest. It is
a play for the masses as well as for
the classes, with an equal blending of
laughter, pathos, tears and heart in
terest, sufficient to appeal to every ma
ture.
Mr.. WEIGH will be supported by a
carefully selected and capable com
pany.
