storm of hail. Reports from Birming

Birmingham, Ala.—Mayor Georgzo
H. Brier of Culman, Ala., wires that
seven people are known to have been
killed in that county by the cyclone
which passed over this section of the
state, but that wire communication
is impossible with the stricken lo
cality.
The property loss in the territory
north of Birmingham appears to have
been very large, Numerous trees
were blown down on Red mountain,
within a mile. of the corporate limits
of Birmingham. Telephone commun
ication to the north is impossible.

In northern Texas the most severe
damage was at Sulphur Springs,
where a score of houses were badly
damaged.
Hanceville, Ala.—The third destruc
tive cyclone to pass over this com
munity in the past score of years
came and left a trail of death. Com
munication of all kinds is interrupt
ed, but news reaches here that the
home of George Stewart, seven miles
east of here, was totally destroyed.
One of his children was blown half
a mile and killed. His two-year-old
child was blown into a grate and was
probably fatally burned. Mrs. Stew
art was caught under some rafters in
the house, and so badly injgired that
she will die. Mrs. Tom Bowner and
child, who were in the house, were
fatally hurt, The storm leveled hous
es through the country for a distance
of two miles, and in scarcely any
instance did the inmates escape in

New Orleans was fought in 1815.

from Montgomery, smashing into
houses and causing the death of three
megro tenants on the plantation of

CHILD HAD SIXTY BOILS -
And Suffered Annually With a Red
Scald-Like Humor on Her Head—
Troubles Cured by Cuticura.
“When my little Vivian was about six
months old her head broke out in boils.
She had about sixty in all and I used Cuti
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment which
cured her entirely. Sometime later a
humor broke out behind her ears and
spread up on to her head until it was near
ly half covered. The humor looked like a
gcald, very red with a sticky, clear fluid
coming from it. This occurred every
gring. I always used Cuticura Soap and
intment which never failed to heal it up.
The last time it broke out it became so bad
that 1 was discouraged. But I continued
the use of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and
Resolvent until she was well and has never
been troubled in the last two years. Mrs.

RUSH OF JEWISH BRIDES.
Their Fiances in America Sending for
Them—Six In One Ship.
There has been a considerable in
crease recently in the Jewish immi
gration, though for the most part it
has been of families coming to join
their husbands “‘and fathers already
here. But there has been also, ac
cording to the American Hebrew, a
large influx of girls, many of them
coming at the request of their
flances.
The examinations in these cases
are very rigid, and many seek to
fool the immigration officers by pos
ing as brothers or as persons already
married so as to he discharged with
out delay. Not that there iz any
purpose of living as husband and
wrife without formal marriage, but
in order that the bride may be de
livered direct to the intended hus
band.
There were over half a dozen such
cases on the steamship Maine alone.
The girls were either required to
have relatives cail for them or were
taken out by the Clara de Hirsch
Home, which saw that those 'who
were ready and willieg and able to
marry at once did so, or else they
were found employment and will
be befriended until they are ready
to be married, homes bemng found
for them with respectable families,
preferably among the townspeople of

NO MEDICINE
But a Change of Food Gave Relief.
~ Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
worn out nerves, but proper food is
required.
There is a certain element in the
cereals, wheat, barley, etc., which is
grown there by nature for food to
brain and nerve tissue. This is the
phosphate of potash, of which Grape-
Nuts food contains a large proportion.
In making this food all the food
elements in the two cereals, wheat
and barley, are retained. That is why
so many heretofore nervous and run
‘down people find in Grape-Nuts a
true nerve and brain food.
“I can say that Grape-Nuts food
has done much for me as a nerve re
newer,” writes a Wis. bride.
“A few years ago, before my mar
riage, I was a bookkeeper in a large
firm. 1 became s 0 nervous toward
the end of each week that it seemed
I must give up my position, which I
could not afford to do.
“Mother purchased some Grape-
Nuts, and we found it not only deli
cious, but 1 noticed from day to day
that I was improving until I finally
realized I was not nervous any more.
“T have recommended it to friends
as a brain and nerve food, never hav
ing found its equal. I owe much to
Grape-Nuts, as it saved me from a
nervous collapse, and enabled me to
retain my position.”

Lame Back Prescription.
Considerable discussion is being
caused among the medical fraternity.
by the increased use of whiskey for
lame back and rheumatism. It is an
almost infallible cure when mixed
with certain other ingredients and
taken properly. The following is the
formula:
“To one ounce of Toris compound
and one ounce syrup Sarsaparilla com
pound add one-half pint of good whis
key. Take in tablespoonful doses
before each meal and before retir
ing.”
It is surely worth trying by any
one who may be afflicted.

Plenty of Exercise Necessary.
Plenty”of regular exercise must be
taken in order to keep the body in a
healthy condition. Any excessive or
unusual exertion, however, is sure to
cause stiffness and soreness of the
muscles and joints,
To counteract this effect there is
nothing bettér than Sloan’s Liniment.
Lay it on lightly where the muscles
have been strained; it requires no rub
bing for it penetrates right to the
bone, relieves any ecegestion and in
flammation and makes the muscles
elastic and pliant. :
Sloan’s Liniment is a great boon to
athietes, for it not only relieves pain
and stiffness, but it is an excellent
remedy for sprains, cuts, bruises and
cramps.
Mr. J. F. Price of Tuscumbia, Ala.,
writes:—“l am an engineer on the
Southern Road from Chattanooga to
Memphis, Tenn. The continued ele
vation of my arm upon the throttle
glves it a sore feeling when on a long

will take the soreness out like Sloan’s
liniment, and I keep a bottle in finy‘
