 A few days ago the friends and asso- cirtes of Paul Peek. the noted aviator who is to take part in the coming Berger aviation meet in Birmingham. received a telegram from Washington announcing the birth of son and heir Scarcely had the telegrams of congratulations been sent in return when second tele- gram was received conveying the in- tclligenee that the young mother had passed away.
 If was later learned that Mir. Peck. in the effortsto save the life of his F month bride, had submitted to Inc operation of blood transfusion.
 The sacrifice was unavailing. however, and death came leaving Q diseonsolaic loving husband and motuorless babe. Aviator Peek had intended making 2 number of preliminary flights over the city previous 10 tine opening of the aNia- ton meet The following telegram was received last night by ]. $. Berger:
 "Washington, D. C.
 'I appreciate your kind words of sym pathy very much; don't think it possible for me 10 get there before tho opening day. but will do my best: am weak yet from blood transfusion to wife; unless something unforeseen happens 1 will he there on time PAIL.''

Their action is pleasant and rlild, and tlcir chocolate taste makes them easy to take I am more than glad to recommend them"
 Clean up the bowels and keep them clean" Is the advice of all physicians, because they realize the danger resulting from habitual con stipation. Do not delay too long, but begin proper curative measures.
 Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets are new remedy for this old complaint, and a great improvement over the cathartics you have been using in the past. They taste like candy and work like a charm. A trial will convince you.

FIND UNDERWOOD
 STRONG IN WEST
Mir. and Mrs. Crawford Johnson Returned Yesterday From an
 Extended Trip

After a trip of several weeks through California and other western states, Mir. and Mrs. Crawford Johnson returned to the city yesterday. They visited Los Angeles, San Francisco and other promi- nent western cities while absent from Bir- mingham. Mr Johnson made the trip on account of business. He said that Con gressman 0. w. Underwood was gaining in popularity out west and al so brought the gratifying news 10 southefners that in the west Champ Clark was pernaps twice as strong as Woodrow Wilson MT. Johnson said yesterday that a great many prominent men out west believe that Con gressman Underwood will be the final choice of the democrats for the 1912 race
 "In the west, on trains into Chicago and in fact everywhere that visited, Con- gressman Underwood was well and fav- orably known said MT. Johnson. Tt surprised me that Congressman Under wood, whose public life has only recently been prominent. should have in that space of timescommanded the respect and inter est of the leading men of the western country. That he has done. They believe that he has accomplished more of d pro- gfessive nature than any man In Con gress They admire his great ability to hardle warning factions and believe that if he Is nominated he will be enabled 10 SD reconcile the varying clements of the party as to assure a complete and honor able victory. There cannot be any mis- take made in the acceptance of the wide spread opinion prevailing out west that Mr Tnderwod is as strong there as in some sections of his own south II was q pleasant experience to have home man like Mr Underwood referred to in such flattering terms by the westerners." |"
 .The western country is very active in getting newcomers" said Mir. Johnson
 ''I'hey are always on the alert for new citizens and leave nothing undone that would bring them. They fear the south, however, as the best informed men out there recognize that the south is coming into her own"
