disease and prescribed local remedies, and

treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

FLOYD WILL NOT
 ENTER THE RACE
Says Business Reasons Prevent His Running for Congressman
 at Large

In a formal card issued yesterday after noon Schuyler H. Floyd formally de- clined to become a candidate for the office of congressman at large from Alabama. The decision of MT. Floyd was reached only after he returned to Birmingham yesterday, ending trip through north Alabama. and after a prolonged confer ence with friends yesterday. The formal note of MT Floyd says:
 "For several weeks past many of my friends have importuned me to enter the race for congressman at large from Ala bama. my native state. It has been a very great temptation to me to accept their good offices, and enter the contest. However after careful consideration and after weighing the presentations made to me by those interested in my behalf. the time has arrived for me to definitely de- clare that for business and other reasons cannot at this time accept the suffrage of my fellow citizens. There cannot be any serious question of the fact that it will be a. signal honor for any man to re- eeive this new office and be seated in the house of Congress as the first to occupy that new position. It Is an honor that any citizen may worthily aspire to re- ceiye. Several of Alabamas s leading cit izens have during the past several months announced their candidacy to this officc

 Mr Trefzger made demonstration which was witnessed by large crowd of people at the offices of the Underwood Typewriter company in the Chamber uf Commerce building yesterday al noon The demonstration was made on an Cn- derwood typewriter such as is made for sale and was not specially constructed machine.
 The keys of the machine had been GOV cred over so that the characters were not visible. In the short time of two min utes MT. Trefzger copied PA words from law book open before him with only one error and that was made toward the last Of the task.
 Another test which was made was while he was copying from the law book. Persons standing nearby propounded questions to him and he answered them clearly and concisely, although he was writing accurately on the typewriter at the rate of 122 words minute.
 The supreme test of his ability and spo ed was made when he took, without a bystander, on the machine. Another dif- ficult test was that he wrote his name equally as fast as he did any of the rest of his writing.

] OOD AND TEMPER
Feel the One and Thus SWeeten the Other With
 OzOmulsiOn

Fretfulness, crossness, contrar1ness call it what you please-in child is not as many parents believe, an out cropping of original sin.
 It is almost always the protesting cry of the nerves against thin, under nourished blood.
 The situation is to be met, not with scolding, but with patience and Ozo- mulsion.
 Bad temper In a child usually has a purely physical foundation.
 If you think this is a mere theory, you ought to see some of the jolly, chubby youngsters who were peevish, cranky little imps before their sensible mothers gave them three spoonfuls of Ozomulsion a day.
 With the better blood that Ozomul- sion made cames better temper.
 What is true of children in this re- spect is just as true of grown-ups.
 Nervousness" rightly understood is one of the most easily handled of all preventable, curable diseases.
 It is commonly just a matter o1 proper nutrition of the blood.
 Strengthen your nerves by taking Ozomulsion and be well.

EWING IS STRONG
 FOR UNDERWOOD
IStates That Only Thing Needed Now Is More and Better Publicity

In speaking of the chances of Oscar
 w. Underwood for the presidential
 nornination, R. w Ewing, president of
 Roberts & Son, after just returning
 from trip to New York and Philadel-
 phia, expressed himself yesterday as
 follows:
 "The chances of Oscar w. Underwood
 for the presidential nomination and the
 election are apparently getting better
 every day Woodrow Wilson seems to
 be losing ground in the east where
 he would naturally be expected to be
 the strongest. Judson Harmon will
 probably be the next strongest man to
 Underwood for the democratic nomina-
 tion. His age, CT, is against him, how ever
 "Wherever the questions of the pres idential proba abilities were discussed
 everyone spoken to had a kind word to say for Underwood. They all regard him as a clean, fair minded and poised man
 who would grace the presidential chair. There seems to be no longer any just grounds for believing southern man could not be elected if nominated for.
 there is very little, if any. sectional feeling now apparent.
 Underwood has a great advantage by virtue of his long experience in Congress- He has risen steadily in the estimation of his colleagues and in knowledge and experience, which is so necessary to the public man who ac- complishes things.
 "It is generally conceded that Wood row Wilson is a theorist-and bright man
 though he no doubt is, the chances are he will not be able to effect half the reforms he might seek to because he
 has not the same training and experi- ence which would render things of much easier relative accomplishment to a man like Underwood There is only one thing lacking to make Underwood the nomi- nee and that is sufficient publicity to
 make people inquire as to who he is and what he stards for. He has always gone along attending to his business in such a quiet and unassuming manner that he has not attracted the amount of at tention that has been attached to others. If those who are his friends would see to it that the newspapers and magazines of the country keep his career before the people his nomination is assured and his election, with the republican party in it's present divided condition, would almost be certainty.
 "There is another thing that we here in Birmingham should never lose sight of and that is that there is wonder
 full advertising. value in this candidacy of Underwood. as it will advertise Bir- mingham and Alabama as no other one | thing could do and give thousands | and thousands of dollars worth of pub l licity without one cent of cost and from | a selfish and mercantile standpoint alone we should put ourselves to some trouble {, to give this publicity"

CO[[EDGE LECTURES 0N "SECOND FIDDLE
States Crank Is Merely Man With an Orig
 inal Idea

William A. Coledge of the Armour In- the regular lyceum course at the hign school building last night. Mr. Colledge is one of the noted American educators and is an authority on educational mat ters in this country. He spoke last night on 'The' Second Fiddle" and applied his subject to matters both economic and ed- ucational In the course of his speech Mr. Coledge said:
 What is d crank, you have been asked? Well. some people will say that a crank is a specialist on something we are not interested in. But a crank is merely person with an original idea It was the original idea in the brain of Calico that conceived the pendulum by watching the swinging of a huge chan- delier. It was a crank then that coll ceived the original idea of the steamboat by watching the tea kettel. It is the 1e- velopment of original ideas that will keep the world moving and place it on better footing However. 1t is a sign of weak ness to initiate. There are thousands of people who are strangers to their own possibilities because they persist in imi- tating others.
 Another thing that is of vast useful ness is the courage and ability to finish what you have begun Take for instance, the case of Charles Darwin. In forty years Darwin never had three days of consecutive good health. It was his won derful power of self control that permit ted him to stick to his job and give to the world his marvellous books. It was the mower of enthusiasm that kept him at his task"
 of men who had obtained the age of 80 years or more who accomplished wonder ful work afterwards. He told how Dan iel Webster mastered thirteen languages after he was 50 years of age. told of sev- eral of the old painters who did their best work at an old age. Tt is great thing in this countryside youthfulness of our old men and women,' said Mir Coledge
 The speaker also touched upon the mat ter of the accumulation of wealth. Tt is the waste in little things that is keep ing scores of families from becoming in dependent Whatever you do do it with all your might and don't give up,' said MT. Coledge.
 The speaker gave a number of exam ples of men who were highly educated, well fitted to carry out some important part in life, who lacked the energy of applying themselves. He preached the doctrine of finding out what you are going to do in life and then throwing yourself into 1t with all your might"
 Mir Colledge is on a lecture tour through the state of Alabama at present and leit Birmingham for the southern part of the state last night.

ROOSEVELT FRIENDS
 REMEMBERING
J. o. Thompon States He Believes Taft Will Be
 Easily Defeated

As if waiting for the signal from New York, which came in press dispatches yesterday morning, friends in Birming- ham of Col Theodore Roosevelt, avowed opponent of President Taft for the re- publican nomination, started. out for votes for the former President by issuing the following call:
 ITO the Republicans of Alabama: I've, the undersigned friends and sup porters of Col. Theodore Roosevelt for the nomination for President at the com ing Chicago convention desire a con- ference of the republicans of the state who are favorable to his nomination to meet with us in Birmingham on Sat urday, March 16, at 12 o'clock noon, at the city hall for the purpose of discuss ing ways and means to accomplish this much desired result. Among the matters to be discussed will be the irregular methods being adopted and used to thwart the will of the people. and looking to securing legal delegations to the next national convention from this state.'
 The mass meeting proposed in the fore going call will be attended by at least 800 republicans, according to state ment made yesterday by J. o. Thompson, one of the warmest friends and supporters of Colonel Roosevelt.
 The announcement of Colonel Roose- welt for the presidency if rendered him was hailed with peculiar delight among the friends of the ex-President In Bir- mingham. Mir Thompson said that he had not the slightest doubt but that Colonel Roosevelt would be nominated and, he added, overwhelmingly elected. However, the officeholdng delegation here, all Of whom are loyal to the present occupant of the White House. believe that MT. Roosevelt will not be nomi- mated.

JURORS' ABSENCE
 IS EXPLAINED " .sN - uis6O
Sheriff McAdOry's Answer Indicates Floating POpula-
 tion of Birmingham

Judge Crow of the circuit court yester- day heard Sheriff W K. McAdory in his answer to why certain jurors had not ap- peared as per summons placed in the hands of the sheriff.
 It was shown that IA of the 60 jurors summoned had moved from the state after the jury box had been made up; one of them was not a resident of the county, another was an unnaturalized foreigner, another was excused on ac- count of serving on jury at Bessemer, and three others on various causes.
 Judge Crow expressed himself as being fully satisfied with the explanation set forth by Sheriff McAdory and at the same time remarked on the floating population of Birmingham and Jefferson county. He stated that although Birmngham's pop ulation is great, it is largely a floating population, as is evidenced by the report of Sheriff McAdory.
