"NO FRILLS. Just Sensible Food Cured Him.

Sometimes a good. healthy commer- cial traveller suffers from poorly select ed food and is lucky if he learns that
 Grape Nuts food will put him right A Cincinnati traveller says: About a year ago my stomach got in bad way. had headache most of the time and
 suffered misery. For several months I
 ran down until I lost about TO pounds in weight and finally had to give up a good position and go home. Any food that l might use seemed to nauseate me.
 My wife, hardly knowing what to
 do, one day brought home a package of
 Grape Nuts food and coaxed me to try
 1t. told her it was no use, but finally
 to humor her tried little and they
 just struck my taste. It was the first
 food that I had eaten In nearly a year that did not cause any suffering. Well, to make long story short. I began to improve and stuck to Grape Nuts. I went up from 135 pounds in December to 194 pounds the following October.
 My brain is clear, blood all right and appetite too much for any mans pocketbook. In fact. I am thoroughly made over and owe it all to Grape Nuts. I talk so much about what Grape Nuts will do that some of the men on the road have nicknamed me Grape Nuts. but I stand today a healthy, rosy checked mana pretty
 good example of what the right kind of food will do.

CHIEF STILL FINDS
 TOO MANY ARRESTS
SAYS 314 PERSONS ARRESTED IN
 AUGUST WERE ACQUITTED BY
 CoURTs-AGAIN CAUTIONS OPEL GERS ABOUT USELESS ARRESTS

Chief Bodeker is again up in arms against the number of unnecessary ar rests by the police department. He has addressed a letter to the police depart ment in which he states that there were 314 people arrested during the month of August that were acquitted by the courts. The chief thinks this entirely too many and has requested that the police use more discretion in making arrests.
 In his letter the chief also calls at- tention to the state laws governing the use of fire arms by officers. He asks that the men be more careful in future about shooting. ''It Is better to let 9s guilty escape" states the chief, than to kill one innocent person. The officers are instructed not to use their clubs ex- cept when they are in bodily danger.
 His letter In full is as follows:
 After carefully going over the month"; ly report find 314 people arrested by the police department that were acquitted by the courts. I must insist that these un- necessary arrests be stopped. You must use good discretion in making arrests You can see by the decisions or the courts that these 314 people that were arrested and acquitted were deprived or their liberty. I certainly hope will not have to call the attention of the depart ment again to making unnecessary ar rests. I expect next month to go over the number of arrests carefully and see who it is that is making the unnecessary arrests
 q wish to call your attention to the use Of firearms: you have no right to shoot man because you think he has violated the law The state code plainly sets forth when an officer has right to shoot any one. only when you know a man mas committed felony and you cannot ap- prehend him otherwise. It would be Tar better to let s9 guilty escape than to kill one innocent. I desire to say that the department must be more careful in future in the use of firearms and no un- necessary shooting will be tolerated. "You must also be more careful in using your clubs and not hit anyone unless II is absolutely necessary to protect your self from bodily harm.
 .I will expect each member of the de- partment to observe the above instruc- tions to the letter.

Can Cldbaugh Collect
 If He Gets Judgment ?
Ewing Claims He Has Signed Release of Claims Against nd vdual Members and That Association Gan Pay Moth
 ing AS It Has No Assets

Can Hinton c. Clabaugh recover any thing from the Southern Wholesale Gro cers association or its members even In case he gets a judgment in his s15oO0O suit now on trial?
 Caruthers Ewing counsel for the asso- citation, thinks not. He gives as his req sons the fact that when Clabaugh se- cured a compromise judgment for $10,OOO in the circuit court he signed a release or all claims against individual members of the association, and the further fact that when the bill of complaint was amended last Monday individuals were exempted and the suit is now solely against the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association.
 Mr. Ewing said the association could not pay its bills, had no money, and no judgment, however, large or small, could be collected by any process.
 II is claimed that when the BIO, 600 judg- ment was secured against MT. VanHoose be sent out letters to individual members of the association requesting contribu- tions to settle the case. After collect ing the amount needed the following re- lease was executed:
 (PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL Hinton G. Clabaugh, Plaintiff, vs. James
 A. VanHoose, Defendant.-In the Cir
 cult Court of Jefferson County.
 It is agreed that this case shall be set tied by the payment to the plaintiff of the sum of ten thousand dollars (s10,000), and that the costs shall be paid In accord ance with the understanding between plaintiffs counsel and MT. Bivings of the B. F. Roden Grocery company; and the said sum in settlement shall be paid the plaintiff on or before the 20th day of December, 1909, or in the event that 1t Is not paid that a judgment shall be ren- dered by the circuit court of Jefferson county in said cause for the plaintiff foI said sum, and said judgment may be rendered without the intervention of a jury. And in consideration of this agree ment to settle, the said cause shall be passed at it's Snext call.
 And it Is further agreed that in consid- eration of the payment of said sum the said plaintiff shall release from any lia- bility to him, on account of the matters and causes of action involved in said suit or in any other pending suit therefor, or any other existing causes of action, any and all such persons, firms or corpora lions as may be named by the said de- fendant, except that the release shall not operate to affect the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association or the Memphis firm

UNCLE HIRAM IS
 INJURED BY FALL

Uncle Hiram Wideman, the night watchman of the courthouse, was pain fully injured the other night when he fell over chair and 1t is feared he will not be able to be to work at his usual hours for some time. MT. Wideman is almost 80 years old, and Is able to get about only with much difficulty. His in- jury is not looked upon as dangerous, but the watchman's extreme age is against him.
 Uncle Hi' as he Is known, has been in the employ of Jefferson county for 2s years, having been night watchman at the present court house during IA years of the time since 1t was built. During the two years when the building was in course of construction he was overseer. He has also been employed at the aims house and pesthouse
 It is believed that should the watchman grow too feeble to remain in his present employment he will be cared for by the county. He Is a Confederate veteran but has never applied for a pension al- ways insisting that he was able to work and earn his living. He has no relations in Birmingham. -r

 HINTON c. CLABAUGH.
 Note-Owing to the fact that a number of firms had not replied an extension of the above to January 12 has been given me.-J. A. V H.
 This release will, 1t is said be offered in evidence today when the case of Hin- ton c. Clabaugh against the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association Is re- stunned. In the amended complaint. filed Monday, 1t is claimed the association was made the defendant and the indi- viduals allowed to retire from the cause of action. MT. Clabaugh in the release quoted above sets out that he releases all members whose names were submitted by MT. VanHoose except the corporation and one firm in Memphis, which is named.
 The following statement was made by Caruthers Ewing:
 "The Southern Wholesale Grocers as- sociation is a Virginia corporation. The stock was placed at nominally 5000 which was never taken. The directors only bought some shares to qualify as directors. While we do not anticipate that a Judgment will be secured in this case, at the same time if 1t Is 1t will be absolutely worthless. The individuals have been exempted and only the asso- citation as a corporation Is being pro- ceeded against All the property owned by the association is two desks in Jack sonville and a mass of papers"

Walters put in in cash?" Tt is in the bank book
 "Where Is the book?" "In the trunk"
 Get it out" said General Wright. The book was not in the trunk. MT. Cla- baugh promised to bring 1t down this morning.
 General Wright questioned the witness very closely in regard to the books and records kept by the firm. MT. Clabaugh stated he had studied the wholesale gro cery business very closely and was an expert. he thought.
 How much did MT. Grove put in?' "One thousand dollars" answered the witness.
 How much in the long green did you put i'm" "Nothing"
 MT. Johnston qualified this examination by saying 1t referred to the firm of Cla- baugh, Walters and Grove. The witnesse explained that he gave great deal of time and work to the firm. MT. Clabaugh said after buying out the others he did not keep a detailed statement of all money entering the firm.
 T drew out money for expenses from time to time,' said MT. Clabaugh.
 MT. Clabaugh said he drew out in all s2S6 .S5. T borrow $500 at one time. I also borrow $100 from an insurance company. That is all I put in in real money.
 About August 1 I went north to work. I left an employe In charge to sell out. I have an invoice which shows how much goods were on hand of every charac- ter. The value of what was on hand was about $500 to $400 What I purchased from the co-partners was not invoiced but I knew what was on hand and what was in bank. I could estimate very clearly how much secured by the pur- chase I sold goods along from the pur- chase to August. The entire sales were about $16.000. I can make a statement of exactly what was sold and on hand When I quit business owed about 5000 When all dissolved I did not give my note or other evidence of debt to the other members of the firm. They had enough confidence in me. No definite time was set for payment. I paid them all owed later.''
 MT. Clabaugh promised to make de- tailed expense account of the business before the case is completed. The ex- animation in regard to the business was then discontinued pending the introduce ton of this statement.
 Reads Extracts From Charter
 MT. Johnston asked here to read the charter of the association, which was filed in 1893. J. H. Martin at that time was secretary.
 Robert Moore, assistant secretary of the association. was called as a witness for the purpose of identifying the rules of practice of the association. The days session ended by MT. Johnston reading excerpts from various meetings held by the association.
 Judge Grubb stopped the reading at 6 o'clock and adjourned court until today at 9:30 o'clock.

WANTED IN TUSCALOOSA Chief King Walks Into BOdeker's Onice and Finds Men Under Arrest

When Chief of Police H. J. King of Tuscaloosa walked into the office of Chief Bodeker yesterday morning he had no idea that he would find two negroes badly wanted in Tuscaloosa for burglary and grand larceny.
 Jim Collins and Will King had been arrested for robbing the store of the Oak City Drug company and were being ques- toned by local officers when the Tusca- loosa chief walked in. He was easily able to identify the stolen property as the name was marked on the goods. He will take the two negroes back to Tusca- loosa with him when he returns.
 Chief King did not come to Birming- ham looking for the negroes but to ap- pear before the grand jury in a horse stealing case. He was delighted never theless when he found that the negroes had been captured.

Is going 10 be a success"
The outfit has been working on the
BoonviIle road this week. beginning
at Allen Academy and up 20 last night
the road had been graded to Boon
vile cemetery. The distance is about
three miles and not more than half
the time had been given 10 actual
work for reasons that are apparent
when Installing new machinery. The
traction engine pulls three graders at
one time and lgoes right along with
them. It is also easy TO turn around
with the graders strung to II. and does
not require a biz open space as some
might think Mr.. Arlington said they
turned around in the lane opposite
the convent without any trouble at

Mr.. Arlington says the machine not
only works fast. but does It well. He
says that IL has done more work this
week than the mule outfit did on the
Pitts bridge road since last August
That Is indeed a strong statement, and
emphasizes the fact that the system
should have been changed to steam
