THE DOOR OF LIFE.

The fear OF pain and the dangers Of
parturitiOn fill many wOman's breast
with dismay. There is no reason why
childbirth should be fraught with dan
ger and distress. 1t is a perfectly nat
ural function and should be performed
in a natural way without undue suffer
ing. Nine out Of ten women are trOu-
bled more or less with weak
ness and diseases peculiar to
their sex. 1t Is so because they do
not take proper care Of themselves
because they neglect little ills and little
precautions. A woman in perfectly
hearty health goes through her time of
trial with comparative ease. The thing
to do, then, is to make all expectant
mothers healthy-to strengthen them
generally anil locally. The medicine and
tonic to do 1t with is DR.. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription. 1t is powerful invig-
GRANT and nervine. II sOothes aand
strengthens the nerves and acts directly
on the feminine organism in a way which
fits 1t for the proper and regular per-
formance of all its functions at all times.
Taken during CESSATION it robs child
birth Of its dangers to both mother and
child, by preparing the system for de-
livery, thereby shortening labor, less
ening pain and abbreviating the period
Of confinement.

Certain bills which limited the powers Of
corporations got lot Of Republican votes
In the house and senate at the special
session while others did not get a single
one. Several voted for the insurance bill
and one Of the number said that he did so
because, as he said, the companies were
too stingy. The inference is that they did
not put up literally to the campaign fund.
When corporations are willing to spend
large sums lobbying against measures for
their regulation it Is fair to presume that
they are afraid that they would be limited

ceived telegram from Wellington saying

son he Immediately gathered that it was a
fake gotten up to get him away from the
house when the vote was taken. He tele-
graphed his mother and received a reply
saying she has sent no such wire and that
she was not unwell. The Wellington Voice
openly charges that James Lawrence, the
new Republican member from the yelling
ton district, sent the telegram. 1t also
alleges that it was part OF a deliberate
scheme to have enough members absent
to prevent the passage of the bill. Stlll
Republican papers insist that the bill is
drawn in the interests of the railroads and
was acceptable to them.

The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-04-30

Our whole state is rapidly coming to en-
terrain the belief that when they want to
make an important purchase in any line,
and want to get something that is choice,
they must come to Birmingham, where
there are enterprising merchants and mod
ern. large and intelligently selected stocks
of goods. Our well-known ex-governor,
w. c. Oates, has just completed an elegant
new home in Montgomery. Being partic-
ularly DESTROYS of having the newest and
most artistic interior decorations, Mrs
Oates came to Birmingham expressly to at
tend to this matter, the result being that
the contract was awarded to w. d. Colby,
the well-known decorator on First avenue,
in competition, not only with other firms
here but with leading decorators in other
cities. Mr.. Colby's workmen have just fin
ished the work and the house is probably
one OF the most elegantly decorated homes
in the state. The walls are hung with the
choicest tapestries and elegant relief worA.
The work has attracted much attention,
and has been the means of Mr.. Colby secur-
ing Contracts for decorating several more
of the finest residences in the Capital City.
