GO TO DISCUSS
 CHARITY WORK

There is considerable interest in Bir- mingham concerning the meeting in Mont gomery tomorrow of the people of the state interested in charity and charitable organiza tions.
 Half a dozen Birmingham citizens will attend this meeting, among the number being Judge Noah B. Feagin, Mrs. Spen- cer, Mrs. Johnston, Maurice Willard and others The chief address will be de- livered by Prof. Charles R. Henderson of the University of Chicago.
 The meeting is for the purpose of sys- tematizing the charitable work of the state. The encouragement of the charit- able, and the organization of the charit- able into such a body that the charity will not be misplaced is the purpose of the gathering, and the reason for the coming to Alabama of such a worldwide famous educator as Dr. Henderson.
 Judge Feagin and MT. Willard will rep resent the city government of Birming- ham. During the absence of Judge Fea- gin Col. Sam Will John will preside over the police court.

.AV0NDALE CASE
 COMES UP TODAY

The quo warranto proceedings against Dr. H. L. Martin, filed in the circuit court with a view of testing the legality of the election under which Avondale be- came annexed to Birmingham. are set for a hearing before Judge A. O. Lane today.
 The papers were filed against Dr. Mar tin, alderman from the Tenth ward, and are in the nature of custer proceedings, but the prime object, it is understood, is to test the legality of the election.
 The contention is set forth in the bill that the election under which Avondale became annexed Birmingham was null and void and of no effect because of the fact that Avondale was not contiguous to Birmingham at the time of the election, owing to the fact that the property lying beWeen Birmingham and Avondale had not been legally annexed to the city. It is conceded that if this territory had been legally annexed at the time the election held at Avondale would have been reg ular.
 The bill is entitled State of Alabama, on relation of George B. Ward, vs. H. l.. Martin. alderman from Tenth ward, or Avondale."

JAIL SENTENCES
 FOR VIOLAT0RS
JUDGE FEAGlN SAYS HE BELIEVES THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO BREAK UP REPEATED VIOLA TONS OF PROHIBITION.

Hereafter l intend to punish violators of the prohibition law with jail sen- tences" said Judge N. B. Feagin of the police court yesterday. T believe this manner of dealing with prohibition cases will do more to break up the Illicit whisky traffic than anything else"
 The words of Judge Feagin were ut tered after he had given negro heavy jail sentence upon his fourth appearance in the police court for violations of the prohibition law. The judge declares that a short jail sentence will do more to stop man from selling whisky than a big fine, and he states that t is upon this belief that he will handle prohibition cases which come before him hereafter.
 It is also understood from a good source that the county judges have also come to Judge Feagin's conclusion, and it is stated that matters will be warmed up for the violators

WILL MERCHANTS BE ALLOWED LEAKAGE?
INTERESTING QUESTION WILL COME BEFORE NEXT MEETING OF COUNCIL-BUSlNE COL LEGE LICENSES ARE MooTED.

Whether or not merchants should be all meal and other similar foodstuffs, is a problem that the city fathers will be called upon to solve before the next meet ting of the City Council
 The merchants have represented to the city government that in handling sacks of flour, meal etc., there is necessarily a loss in weight, though the loss was in- variably small On account of the city s laws against the sale of short weights, the merchants are very desirous that some definite understanding be reached.
 This matter was briefly referred to at the Wednesday night meeting of the City Council. The judiciary committee in- cluded in its report recommendation that the merchants petition that they be allowed leaking of per cent in sacks of flour and meal, not be granted. Alder of that report and Alderman Fulghum, chairman of the judiciary committee, in defending the report, said:
 Tt is to be supposed that some leak age will occur, but the committee was of the opinion that leakage of per cent was too great The inspector of weights and measures, exercising common sense, would naturally be tolerant in the presence of certain small losses"
 However the report was not adopted, and as it is understood that the alder men are about evenly divided on the matter, it is expected to be live sub ject throughout the next two weeks.
 Another matter that will be discussed prior to the next meeting of the City Council is whether or not business col leges should be charged a license. The report of the miscellaneous committee, which was adopted Wednesday night, re- duced the $2O0 license originally agreed upon to $1OO Alderman Cooper opposed a license of $1O0, and stated that the li- censing of colleges was placing premium on illiteracy The heads of the business colleges in Birmingham are endeavoring to have the license abolished, and con- siderable interest is centered in the solu- ton of the problem.
 Another interesting matter of discussion in municipal affairs is the resolution in- troduced by Alderman Hogan removing the fee charged by the inspector of weights and measures for inspecting scales It is understood that the aldermen are about evenly divided on this problem, which they state involves several ques- tions. and the denouement of the sit- uation is awaited with general interest,

SAlLOW COMPLEXION Changed to Buddy Glow.

No one likes a sallow, muddy complex ion Many who afflicted do not realize that the daily consumption of coffee is likely the cause.
 Coffee contains a drug-csffeine-- which so irrtates the nerves of the stom- ach that food Is n9t i.rsea digested and that causes bad biOo4.
 It weakens. by it's after effects. the heart and lungs so that the full amount of life-giving oxygen Is not taken into the lungs, and that is another cause of bad blood. It is often the cause of sallow complexion and nervousness also.
 During the past year." writes a Conn. lady, 'I found that I was gradually grow ing nervous through some unknown cause l was peevish and restless, and my com plexion had that sallow dsagreeable color seen in debilitated people and nervous dyspeptics.
 During this time coffee was my chief beverage at every meal Having been for many years a constant user of Grape Nuts. l had read The Road to Wellville, and becoming interested in Postum, de- cided to try It in place of coffee.
 The result was gratifying and success full in every respect. It seemed that miracles were performed in that first week. My sallow complexion gradually giving way to a healthy, ruddy glow, and my nerves felt rested and at ease.
 Tn a short time my whole system felt rejuvenated and 1 was in fine spirits. It Is needless to say that from that time to this Postum has always had it's place on the pantry shelf along with the famous Grape-Nuts.
 "Postum, when made according to directions on the pkg, has a rich, tasty flavor and leaves an invigorating effect which is so different from the languid after feeling of the coffee drinker.' There's Reason"

SURPRISE CAUSED
 BY PRESCRIPTIONS

The news of the resignation of Col R. ton of Company A, First Alabama reg iment, caused a ripple of surprise among local National Guardsmen. Both men are well known here and their friends are curious to know the exact reason for their resignations.
 Colonel DuMont was taken i'll while at Chattanooga at the annual camp last the troops were sent to the Birmingham district to do strike duty. He only re- mained in Birmingham for a day or two and left Lieutenant Colonal Hubbard in command. At the time there was a strong rumor to the effect that Colonel DuMont was dissatisfied with the manner in which things were being handled Dy Governor Conner and for this reason de- clined to serve. This was denied by Gov ernor Conner and officials in close touch with Inc situation
 Colonel DuMont served during the strike of lo94 in the Birmingham district, as did majority of the officers of the First Alabama regiment. This regiment has retained it's personnel more perfectly than any other regiment in the state. Practi- cally every officer in it has served in all the different ranks from private to their present positions.
 Both Colonel DuMont and Captain Nor ton reside in Mobile. Captain Morton was in active service during the strike and was very popular among his fellow of ficers.
 It is considered very probable that Lieutenant Colonel Hubbard of the First f..st .ent sV,3i 5e promoted to the place made vacant by Colonel DuMont's resig nltiua. Lieutenant Colonel Hubbard re- sides at Troy and was in full command of the troops during the latter half Of the strike. His men idolize him and he acquired the same popularity among the local and other troops under his com mand
