FELL WRITES OF
 NEW AIRSHIP
Birming ham Man Claims His Machine Will show Valuable Improvements
 Over Anything in Use

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 If it is of any interest to your read- CTS you can say:
 A company will be organized within the next ten days under the name of the Zell Aero Mobile company, with 8 capital of s50O,000, under the laws of Delaware, for the purpose of owning the patents applied for and manufac- turing these machines which I have now perfected.
 It is my intention to have one of these machines built and tested within 90 days. It will be of large size and carry several passengers. l will use an Elbridge Featherweight engine, built In Rochester, N. Y. This engine is built specially for aerial navigation. and reg ulates at any speed up to 2000 revolu- tions per minute, developing 50 horse power.
 l have made valuable addition to this machine, by designing an aerial propeller different from anything now fin use, which claim will give at least 25 per cent more power. or increase the speed of the machine 25 per cent with the same power, over all other means of propelling heavier-than- ma chimes.
 Whn this machine is placed before the public you will find we have some very valuable improvements over any, thing that has yet been attempted

ABANDONED IT
For the old Fashioned Coffee Was Ixil1-

"I always drank coffee with the rest of the family, for 1t seemed as if there was nothing for breakfast if we did not have it on the table.
 q had been troubled some time with my heart, which did not feel right. This trouble grew worse steadily.
 sometimes it would beat fast and at other times very slowly, so that would hardly be able to do work for an hour or two after breakfast, and if walked up a hill it gave me a severe pain.
 q had no idea of what the trouble was until a friend suggested that per- haps it might be caused by coffee drinking. I tried leaving off the cof- fee and began drinking Postum. Tho change came quickly. I am now glad to say that I am entirely we'll of the heart trouble and attribute the relief to leaving off coffee and the use of Pos- tum.
 "A number of my friends have aban- doned the old fashioned coffee and have taken up with Postum, which they are using steadily. There are some people that make Postum very weak and taste- less, but if 1t Is boiled long enough, &C., cording to directions, 1t Is a very de- licious beverage. We have never used any of the old-fashioned coffee since Postum was first started in our house."

ROGERS ID SPEAK FOR O'NEAL TONIGHT Will Address Young Mems Good Government Club ELLIS IS HERE AGAIN Says Mallory's Gains Put Him Well in the Lead-Wall<er of Flor
 ence Discusses the
 Situation
ELLIS IS HERE AGAIN

John A. Rogers of Sumpter who is con- sidered one of the most eloquent speakers in Alabama, will address the voters of MT. Rogers comes at the invitation of the Young mems Good Government club.
 This is the first O'Neal meeting that has been held in Birmingham for some time, and will call for a good crowd and plenty of enthusiasm. The club will hold meeting after the speaking and prob ably indorse candidates for state and county offices.
 Judge J. H. Nathan of Sheffield and Mayor Walker of Florence passed through Birmingham yesterday on their way to make a number of speeches in the inter est of Colonel O'Neal. MT. Walker stated that the Palmer -Buckner incident has not changed any votes in his part of the state. ''The voters down our way know Colonel O'Neal. and they will take his word in a matter of this kind before that of any of his opponents" he said. ''Lauderdale will give him a handsome majority"
 J. B. Ellis, campaign manager for Col. H. s. D. Mallory, reached Birmingham yesterday and speaks with unusual optim- ism. He stated that Mallorys gains dur ing the past two weeks have placed him well In the lead.
 MT. Mallory will reach the city tomor- row and will speak at Bessemer before a ipass meeting of the citizens of that sec- ton.
 The legislative candidates are getting busy. Walker Percy and Asbury Thomp- son have arranged to speak Saturday aft ernoon at 1:30 o'clock at Warrior, and MT. Percy will make other speeches next week to the farmers of the county. The anti-amendment ticket is making a gum shoe campaign, and Is lining up the voters as they stood in the recent fight
 The impression has gotten out that the legislative candidates would be grouped In two tickets, but this is an error The ]! names will be placed on the ticket in alphabetical order. Chairman R. N Bell also calls attention to the fact that any person may vote as he sees fit for any T of the 94 names which will appear on the ticket for the state convention.
