been stolen from Chicago and to take possession of them pending the arrival of officers from Chicago. Acting on the advice of City Attorney M. M. Ull- man, we swore out search and seizure warrants before Judge H. B. Abernethy and secured three of the automobiles. We hope to secure the rest tomorrow.
 Tn all of these automobiles the num- bers had been changed, but it was such bungling job that it was easily per- ceived and the real numbers were dis cernable As far as we are informed, none of the Birmingham buyers of the cars is implicated and bought them innocently.
 Present indications are that many more automobiles will be discovered to have been stolen. Many of these cars were stolen in Chicago and other cities and were disposed of in Bir- mingham and the environs. On the other hand, we also believe that many Of the cars stolen in Birmingham for the past year or more were transported to Chicago and sold there"
 F. E. WHITEHEADS STATEMENT
 F. E. Whitehead of 1880 Whitaker street when informed of the contents of Chicago dispatchis by an Age-Her- aid representative last night, said he felt sure there was some mistake.
 "The dispatch mentions an E.. D Whitehead" said he, "and I know of no such person. This makes me think there must be some error in the names.
 'I. A. Whitehead was in Birming- ham a couple of weeks ago and he told me something of some second hand machines he had sold here in January and he said, as I remember that he had secured three at great bargain and that he had likewise sold them at d bargain and had made about $250 profit on the three cars.
 The conflict in initials made the dispatches from Chicago last night somewhat confusing. L. A. Whitehead who formerly lived here was head of the Standard Home company, which is now defunct

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES P0iS0NS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate in it,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial
fddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician
If you get headaches, it's your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be-
comes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness. oYur
liver is the most important, also the
most abused and neglected organ of
the body Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can crly be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the Lones.
Every man and woman, sick o.
well, should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate in it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material. the poisons, sour bile and
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because it
can not salivate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. 1t
S inexpensive and almost tasteless, and
any pharmacist will sell you quarter
pound, which is sufficient for a dem
onstration of how mot water and lime
stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and
freshens the liver, keeping you feeling
fit day in and day out. adyt

tresses came into the cate, and soon
1t was filled with rare and delightful
types.
. Two lovers gazed into each others
eyes, and even if the cafe had been
transformed into a woodland, they
could not have been farther away
from our prying eyes-we senti-
mental people no watched them and
envied their happiness. But one who
looked at them with the most long
ing in her eyes was the young girl
whose companion was an old man
rich as Croesus," so they told me.
She wore a wedding ring which
was hardly discernable among the
clumsy jewels which bedecked her
hand, and as she listened to over
hear the love notes at the adjoining
table we knew she was dreaming in
vain, for she had bought her happi-
ness and was paying for it in bitter
measure.
A long-married couple neither
chatted nor observed, but simply ate
and ate until both were satisfied
Then the bill was paid and out they
went to make way for a little old
couple who spoke in quavering
French and who came there because
in Paris, years before, he had met
her when she was queen of the Paris
ball at just such a little rendezvous
of Bohemia.
