Parliamentary Drills the Rage
 Among Birmingham Women

The vivacious spirit and interest with which Birmingham women give to all oc- casions is quite as much in evidence at the Women's Congress as 1t is on more formal and state occasions. The Women's Con- gress as it Is called, Is being held for the purpose of practicing the simple rules of parliamentary law in regard to organizing societies. and the second of the series, which was held few days ago, was thoroughly delightful and instructive. The ladies are realizing that a knowledge of parliamentary laws Is quite important for the success of any organization that em- ploys business methods, and there are many ladies in Birmingham who are capa- ble of presiding at any society with strict observance to parliamentary law. A w0- man who realizes that another woman is her superior in the knowledge of parlia- mentary rules will frequently sit quietly by and be imposed upon simply because she is not able to cope with the woman "who
 has the fioor," for nowadays women do not all talk at once The presiding officer,
 of course, does not recognize the speaker who Is "out of order,'' but sometimes the presiding officer is not parliamentarian, and there follows then an appeal from the chair, from a woman well versed in parlia- mentary rules With the increasing de- sire on the part of women for knowledge of business-like methods in organizing so- cieties and their realization of the ad- vantage that a woman with knowledge of system, order, impartiality, Judgment, tact as taught by parliamentary rules has over another woman who is ignorant of these lessons In uniformity, there will fol- low economy of time, harmony in meet- ings, and the organizing of societies and
 the conducting of meetings will be charac- terixed with that indescribable charm that

ESCAPED MON NTAuK HOSPITAL.
New York. October 6, 1S9S


 Messrs. Wells, Richardson 6 Co.,, Gentlemen-If anybody in the whole regi- ment of Rough Riders had chance to ob- serve the general weakened condition of the men when they started back to the United Stats, as compared with their stall wart condition when they sailed from San Antonio on June 8, think had.
 Oklahoma is generally regarded as a healthy climate, and last May, when left there, hardly knew what sickness meant. Earlier in life, however, I had lived in the east, and after month in service knew that what I needed, in my generally run down condition, was a nerve tonic. knew if my nerves were fixed there would be no trouble about my general health as soon as I got away from the army.
 also knew the position that Paine's eel cry compound occupied, although I had not had occasion to use it myself. I got few bottles of it and began to take it and give it to few of my acquaintances.
 It actually seemed to build up my nerv- ous constitution almost rapidly as the southern climate had torn it down. The same thing was true of the other men gave it to.
 Unless had found this tonic to restore my nerves I feel sure that I would have gone to the hospital at Montauk Point, and I might have shared the fate of many other poor fellows whose impoverished condition did not yield to the doctors treatment.
 It gives me pleasure to recommend Paine's celery compound as the best rem edy ever sold in America.

NEARLY DEAD FROM THE FEVER.
St. Louis, September 29, 1898


 Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co.,. Gentlemen:-Nobody can blame me of be- ing disloyal if I say that Paine's celery other person or thing since I left Silver City to join the Rough Riders. It has pulled together the scraps of a stalwart man, brought me around from all the bad effects of the Cuban climate, and braced me up until I am in better health than have been in ten years My friends in the west think that I am nearly dead from the army fever they called calientura in Cuba. When get back to Silver City they will be as surprised as I sometimes feel myself. I had pretty good nerves be- fore enlisted They went to pieces while we were lying out in the trenches at Sam tiago, lodging bullets. began to feel feverish from the day we got to Siboney. When the Mausers sang about our ears I noticed that l was getting nervous. I found myself scarcely able to walk af- ter the battle of San Juan. I got worse until I got back to Montauk Point, where l got battle of Paine's celery compound from another fellow in the regiment. l saw several of the Rough Riders taking 1t.
 With some of them, as with me, it seem- ed to take the place of both food and medi- cine, for the systems of many of the men needed toning up before they could again eat as they had done before they left this country
 I don't know much about medicines. We don't need much medicine in New Mexico But know Paine's celery compound has fixed me up until I feel able to take the one who mentions nerves to me about my case.

BROUGHT HIM BACK TO LIFE.
New York, Sept. 30, 1898.

Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co.,:
 Gentlemen-I might have broken down sooner in the campaign about Santiago if had had time to realize what was the mat ter with me before the Spaniards surren- dered.
 God knows broke down soon neough as it was, and 1t was as great surprise to me as it was to the other boys who knew me at home. But the Spaniards kept us busy, when we were not busy our own account getting ready for the big fight. That I was a member of the Roosevelt reg iment I shall always be proud, and the fights at Las Quasimas and at San Juan Hill will be things to talk about for many a year.
 But would not have lived to talk about them if had not found something to brace my nerves up again after the siege I had of it at Santiago with dysentery and slow fever I got so could hardly shoot, and felt like did not care whether did or not. lost twenty pounds in weight and lot more than that in spirits, If you can meas ure a fellows spirits that way. Half dozen Mauser bullets could not have made a worse mess of me than the Cuban climate and the mud in the Santiago trenches did. As soon as I found I sick and my nerves were all gone I hunted for a tonic. 1 found it on the way back north, when got some of the Paine's celery compound I saw other men using.
 How it braced me up my picture will show better than anything else. It is the great est nerve restorer that can be made, for it brings all the force there is in man to the surface. E, B. HOLT,

Weather and Crop Conditions.

The week ending Monday, August 1,
has been characterized by excessively
warm and humid weather, frequent
local showers, quite heavy in some
Places and a general lack of sunshine.
These conditions, with few exceptions,
have been favorable for the advance
ment of the growing and maturing
crops, and a marked improvement in
their condition over that of the preced
ing week is generally reported. The
harvesting of oats has been retarded by
the freqent rains, and some injury done
to the already short crop The potato
blight is increasing in some places, and
in others second growth is noticed.
In the southern vineyards the "black
rot" has increased, and much of the crop
lost. Early sweet corn is maturing.
Peaches, the State over, will not yield
more than one-half of an average crop,
but the quality promises to be above that
of last year In the northern section
parture fields have greatly improved,
and buckwheat is in profuse bloom.
