Gadsden and Anniston are also asking for the plant, but the great majority of men interested are from Birmingham and the plant really should be located here"
 This concern has the advantage of being on its feet before 1t starts" said MT. Walraven who was in the city last night. We of Atlanta would like to have 1t located in our city, but the fact that we will also make malleable castings really gives this district the call on a. plant of the kind.

MAKING SUNSHINE 1t Is Often Found In Pure Food.

The improper selection of food drives many a healthy person into the depths of despairing illness Indeed. most sickness comes from wrong food and just so surely as that is the case right food will make the sun shine once more.
 An old veteran of Newburyport, Mass, says: "In October I was taken sick and went to bed, losing 47 pounds in about GO days. had doctor after doctor, food hurt me and I had to live almost en- tirely on magnesia and soda. All solid food distressed me so that water would run out of my mouth in little streams.
 "I had terrible night sweats and my doctor finally said I had consumption and must die, My good wife gave up all hope. We were at old Orchard Me-, at that time and my wife saw Grape-N Nuts In grocery there. She bought some and persuaded me to try 1t.
 ''I had no faith In it but took it to please her, To my surprise it did not dis tress me as all other food had done and before I had taken the fifth package [ was well on the mend. The pains left my head. my mind became clearer and I gained weight rapidly.
 "I went back to my work again and now after six weeks use of the food I am better and stronger than ever before in my life. Grape-Nuts surely saved my life and made my a strong, healthy man, 10 pounds heavier than before ! was taken sick.

THE STEINER INDICTMENT,
Latady Explains Controversy Out of
 Which the Indictment Grew.

To the Eidtor of The Age-Herald:
 Referring to the indictment returned against MT. Lee K. Steiner, notice of which appeared in the evening papers of Wednesday. I, as the attorney who rep resented Steiner Brothers. corporation in litigation, out of which this indictment arose after unfavorable decision to Charles Ellis by Chancellor Benners beg leave to make the following, a true and full statement of the facts, trusting that the same may have the effect of staying the judgment of those not sufficiently &C., quainted with MT. Steiner to know that although the grand jury may have acted within it's powers, 1t could not have heard a correct statement of the matter, which appears on record in the chancery court of Jefferson county Alabama
 Charley Ellis, the witness upon whose testimony the true bill was returned, by his attorney exhibited his bill in the chan cery court on December 8, 1906. praying the specific performance of a contract for the conveyance of lands, a copy of which contract is an exhibit to his bill. wherein 1t appears that Steiner Brothers, a corporation. leased to Charley Ellis lot 15 in block 26 of the survey of the property of the Birmingham- Ensley Land and Improvement company under one of the so-called lease sale contracts in use in these parts, under the terms of which. upon the payment of the sum of S75 in the installments of rent provided for in the contract, the lot was to be conveyed to Ellis The contract recited the pay ment of $20 of the consideration in cash and the execution of six notes for tha rents to accrue. Ellis paid two of the installments of rent and the remaining notes are now in my possession, the last one having fallen due on March 25, 1906.
 To the bill Steiner Brothers replied that at the time of the filing of the bill the corporation had parted with It's title to the lot, giving the name of the person to whom it had conveyed. the corpora ton having treated Ellis right as at an end when he made default in the pay ment of the note maturing on December 20, 1905.
 Under this contract Steiner Brothers. a corporation, received the $40 and 1t Is for this that MT. Steiner has been in- dicted. The decree in the chancery court was In favor of Steiner Brothers.
