A Tainted Breath
 Highly DisagreeabIe
A Quick and Permanent Relief For
 This Trouble at Small Expense.


 There are many thousands of people who are the unfortunate possessors of offensive and obnoxious breath, which has it's origin in chronic nasal and throat catarrh, an unhealthy condition of the stomach. or decay of the teeth, and when these persons realize they are the victims of such an undesirable possession they frequently feel constrained to remain off to themselves the greater part of the time, because they understand only too well how disagreeable 1t must be to others with whom they come in contact.
 For 1t is an undeniable fact that peo- pie will comment on. and criticise the person whose breath is foul and of fensive. Very frequently we hear the comment, "So-and-so is a most agree able companion; interesting talker with large fund of information; is we'll posted on world history and the bi- ographies of many celebrities can talk huently on current topics; is accomp- lished musician and literateur. and would be most desirable addition to any so- cial gathering except for the deplorable fact that his or her breath is so extremely offensive, that persons of refinement. good breeding and delicate sensibities do not care to come into contact with them.''
 
 ious breath tsints the very atmosphere and affects the persons surrounding the affected one in a way which is posi- tive nauseatng.
 There is no longer any excuse for a person, however foul and offensive their breath may be, of infiicting it's obnox- iousness upon the delicate nostrils and olfactory nerves of others
 Charcoal. the great absorbent, is the ideal remedy for conditions described. herein. and in STuARTS CHARCOAL LOZENGES we have the very best form in which charcoal may be taken These little lozenges absorb 100 times their own volume in foul gases and taint- ed breaths, and besides deodorizing and purifying the breath and rendering it sweet and agreeable, they also act as an- tiseptics and cleansers of the stomach and intestinal system, absorbing all of fensive gases which may be present there, destroying disease germs, poisons and microbes, and putting stop to such nor bid processes fermentation and de- composition in cases of chronic dyspepsia and intestinal indigestion.
 Don't allow yourself to be kept out of company of your friends because you may be so unfortunate as to have offen- sive breath from any cause Use Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges, and you may rest assured that your trouble will be re- moved thoroughly and rapidly.
 Purchase a box from your druggist for 25 cents and send us your name and ad- dress for free sample package Address F. A. Stuart Company, POO Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich.

NEGROES SENTENCE S1AID

Anniston, December S.-(Special.)-A pe- tition addressed to Governor Brown of Georgia and the board of pardons is be- ing circulated in Anniston in behalf of George Burge. who is under sentence of death in that state for killing his wife some time ago. Already the petition has been signed by some 200 citizens who knew Burge when he lived here. It will be remembered that after Burge sep arated from his wife, some one slipped into her room one night and stabbed her to death. The testimony of 8 13-year- old son, who swore that her murderer was Burge, Is what convicted him, and 1t is on the strength of the good reputation he had while he lived here that the peti- ton is being circulated. Mrs. Burge was the daughter of w. J. Sykes of Anniston.

CIRCULAR ISSUED
 BY POLYTECHNIC

Auburn, December Especial 1.-Two interesting high school circulars have been issued by the Alabama Polytechnic entitled Q Teaching Botany in the High Schools" by Prof Francis E. Lloyd and CD School Improvement" by Profs. R. S. Mackintosh and P. F. Williams.
 The series of high school circulars Is issued by the Polytechnic as a small part of It's contribution to the progress of plans now include several papers on the usual academic subjects but during the present session the publications will be devoted chiefly to the sciences, the pe- culiar field of investigation by the insti- tuition. The college especially desires to stimulate a more vital interest in the study of elementary science and uses this method of giving the teachers of the state the benefit of its experience.
 The laboratory method of instruction. which the college has thoroughly tested, is everywhere urged as the only basis Of the successful teaching of science.
 The purpose of Improving School Grounds is to teach children the appre- citation of things beautiful as well as things useful. Specific directions are given for planning, planting and devel- oping school grounds The pamphlet of 34 pages is illustrated with dozen plates.
 The publication on teaching botany is intended to encourage teachers in the work of presenting the subject to their pupils and to give them some practical suggestions which may be of service to them in undertaking the work for per haps the first time. Teachers who find the suggestions helpful and desire further explanation than afforded by the circu- lars are urged to communicate with the authors.

Home Prescription
FORTIFIES NERVE FORCE
 FOR AILING PEOPLE,.

Malarial conditions here in the south materially lessen the strength and enduring capacity of the average man, and woman too. It would seem therefore, that a powerful nerve and sys- tenn tonic, such as described would prove of utmost benefit to all those in need of such treat ment.
 This treatment is said to have acquired a wonderful reputation throughout the east, owing to it's peculiar propensity to fortify the nerve force and generate health and a consequent personal mag netism, so essential to the happi- ness of every normal humat be- ing. It is claimed to be bless ing to those who are physically impaired. gloomy, Respondent. nervous and who have trembling of the limbs, dizziness, heart pal pttation, cold hands and feet, in somnia, fear without caug., tim idity in venturing and general inability to act ratioEally as others do. Also of vast benefit to writers, professional men, office workers and the victims of soci- ety'S late hours and over -indul- gence in wines, liquors, etc.
 By preparing the treatment at home secretly, no one need know of another's trouble, while the in gredients are much used in fill- ing various prescriptions, so that even tho purchase of them sep arately need occasion no timidity.
 If the reader decides to try 1t, get three ounces of ordinary syr- up sarsaparilla compound, and one ounce compound fluid balm wort; mix and let stand two hours: thsn get one ounce com pound essence cardiol and one ounce tincture cadomene com pound (n0t cardamom), mix all together. shake well and take q teaspoonful after each meal and one at night.
 This contains no opiates what ever and may also be used by women who suffer with their nerves with absolute certainty of prompt and lasting benefits.

BESSEMER MAY YET
 BUY WATERWORKS
OWNERS OFFER PLANT AND FRANCHISE FOR $500,00o-AN- OTHER SPECIAL MEETING TO BE HELD NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT.

Bessemer. December s.1Special.)- )-The council met in special session today to consider the report of the two commit tees which have been appointed to take up the purchase of the water works by the city. The committees. one from the board of trade and one from the council, both reported favorably on the proposi- tien, but the council took no definite ac- ton tonight, postponing 1t to 8 special meeting next Tuesday night The propo- sition of the water company is that they sell to the city the plant for the sum of $500 900. They take securities for this amount city bonds which mature in 30 years and which bear per cent interest. The property which would be transferred to the city would include the pump house at Hawkins Springs, 10 acres of ground at Hawkins with two houses, the spur track running from the springs to the car line, all the pipe lines of the company, all the contracts and the water rights on West Lake, McAdory Springs. Glenn Springs, Princes Springs and Spencer Springs and all the contracts and reser- voirs. The city would also own the of- flee and fixtures of the company in Bes- semer
  be in the hands of three commissioners, one of whom would be the mayor, the other two being elected by the bond- holders.
 C. L. Odell. in protesting against the purchase of the works in behalf of the Bessemer Land and Improvement conn pany created quite a sensation when he charged the water company with ulterior motives in seeking to sell the plant to the city at this time. The deal will be closed on next Tuesday night, and 1t is believed that the city will make the purchase
