To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: In Jere Kings letter to The Age-Her- ald of June r he uses the names of the undersigned as parties to whom Dr. Felix I. Tarrant had made secret or other prom ises. We absolutely deny his assertions. The people of Jefferson county should know that the so-called Ensiey board of trade he quotes Is R. Boyd's campaign committee. and as commercial organ ization Is a fake pure and simple. It is true MT. Boyd was for five years city attorney of Ensley. He is not now.

The action was taken to conserve the property in the meantime"
 Mr. Barr said further that he had It, tie doubt about securing all the money needed to go ahead with the work of re- lining the large furnace, which had been started, and to light it up again as soon as the repairs were completed

PRESSED HARD Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the fn- furious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others
 A superintendent of public schools in one of the southern states says:
 My mother. since her early childhood, was an inveterate coffee thinker. had been troubled with her heart for a num- Der of years and complained of that weak all over feeling and sick stomach.
 Some time ago I was making an offi- cial visit to distant part of the coun- try and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a some what peculiar flavor of the coffee and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum.
 'I was so pleased with it that after the meal was over I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife pre- pare some for the next meal. The whole family were so well pleased with 1t that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely.
 "I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mothers condition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stom- ach; that the headaches were not so fre- quent. and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us.
 "I know Postum has benefited myself and the other members of the family, but not in so marked a degree as in the case of my mother. she was a victim of long standing Read The Road to We'll ville," in pkgs. There's a Reason.''
