CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

INDIGESTION and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are certain
to follow continued use of improper
food.
Those who are still young and ro-

that, a. dropping water will wear q

heavy, greasy, rich food finally cause

Fortunately. many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of cause and effect in
their daily food. A N T. young
woman writes her experience thus:

The speaker told Of how the mod

way was to analyze each operation
by. means OF a stop watch: a later
method is through the means of NOV

method is by a modern photograph

WILL RAISE PHONE RATESAT ANN|STON Southern Bell After July 1 to Increase Rates 50
 Cents Per Month

Anniston, April 24.-(Special. )-Rep-
 resentatives of the Southern Bell Tel |ephone company appeared before the
 Anniston city council Thursday even ing and put the members of the coun-
 cil on notice that after July the com
 pany will make an increase of 50 cents
 per month in its telephone rates in the city of Anniston, similar increases to be
 made at Gadsden and other places very probably, in the near future.
 It was stated by the representatives of the company, D. F. Turnbull, divi- sion commei cial superintendent: H. P. Watson, district manager, and Attorney Mel r. Sterne. that the city of Annis- ten has completely outgrown its pres ent quarters and that the company finds it necessary to spend about s66,- 900 here in order to take care of it's increased demands To do this a new switchboard will have to be built, the building enlarged and much new wiring installed. The company is now making only 5.2 on its investment here. due to the growth of the city, it was stated, and when the increase is made it is estimated that the earning will be 72 which the company regards not exhorbitant.
 In pursuance with the company's pol icy of taking the public into its con fidence, the Southern Bell asked the council to appoint committee to ex- | anime it's books and make an investi- gation of it's claims, and this was done after some discussion It was brought out, however, that the proposed raise abrogates the discount heretofore given for payments by the 10th of the month
 and in some instances amounts to a
 raise of S5 cents per month.
 The new rate as proposed will be:
 Business phone, s4 per month; single line residence phones. $250; duplex lines, s2, this being the rate charged in several other places of Anniston's s size, it was alleged.

manent investors in France In that country the obligations of New York city has been a popular form of investment since 1900, and there has been for many years like disposition respecting United States bonds which bear a higher rate of interest than ? per cent.
 Another matter which has been the subject of much discussion in financial districts relates to the necessity for in creased taxation in case there should be actual intervention in Mexico. It is now apparent that at the end of this fiscal year. on June 30, there is to be consid- erabe deficit. If it does, the expectations of those who framed the new tariff law will be fully met. But it is apparent that the government cannot impose large bur dens in the way of extraordinary expen- ditures without considerably increasing taxation. There would not be great sur prise in the financial districts if Con gress were to deem 1t expedient to in- crease the rate of taxation upon incomes That is recognized as one of the easiest ways and means of securing large supplies of money. There would probably be other taxations was the case at the time of the war with Spain.

Gadsden, April 34.-(Special) )-Such strong opposition to the proposed sloo,ooo bond issue for street Improvements has developed that Mayor J. H.

It is claimed that the election will not be successful, and that the expense for election officers and ballots would be needless. It may be, however, that in the event of a veto. the friends of the bond issue could muster enough strength in the council to pass 1t again over the veto.
