ANDREWS PRESIDENT
STATE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
 CHOOSES OFFICER.
Physicians Decline to Go on Record Opposing Pending Legislation With Reference to the Marine
 Hospital Service.

Birmingham, April 1s.-(Special )-Th, State Medical Association of Alabams this morning refused to go on record al this time as opposing legislation pending at Washington with reference to the Ma rine Hospital Association. The question was sprung by paragraph in the report of the Board of Censors, read by pr w. H. Sanders. Senior Censor. Dr. San. ders, who is also State Health Officer. fir explaining the clause, said this proposed legislation was an adroit attempt to widen the scope of the Marine Hospital service so that it will encroach upon the powers of State Health Boards. It was unconstitutional.
 Dr. Moody moved that the position of the State Health Officer be endorsed.
 pr. J. c. LeGrande thought the question was too important to be settled without serious consideration, and Dr. R. M Cum ningham moved that Dr. Moody's motion. which practically carried with it the clause in the Censor's report. be referred back to the cersors Co be reported upon next year. This motion prevailed.
 Interesting papers were read at this mornings session. In the course of his report. Dr. Sanders said that legislation pending at Washington to enlarge the scope of the Marine Hospital service threatened to develop into a dictatorship oNcr otdte EOdTOS or f1eaHn. Tn ms opinion the legislation was unconstitu- tional. He made the assertion upon ex- cellent legal authority that the general government was absolutely without pow CT to regulate the public health of the States.
 Dr. R. M. Cunningham said that he had attended the conference at Washington as member of the Legislative Commit tee of the National Medical Association. and had voted to recommend the Perkins bill, which, as he understood 1t, does not seek to make the Marine Hospital service an encroacher upon States rights, but was intended to increase the rank and dignity of the officers.
 Dr. Sanders replied that the bill had been very adroitly drawn. It is an at- tempt to occupy forbidden ground and should not be endorsed by the AIaba ma Association. He asked Dr.. Cunningham m by what authority he had attended the conference at Washington. and Dr. Cum ningham answered that by the authority Association.
 The following officers were elected by the Associations: President. Dr. Glenn An- drews of Montgomery; Vice-President. Northern Division. Dr. A. M. Stovali of Jasper: Orator. Dr. l.. c. Morris of Bir- mingham; Alternate Orator, Dr. George s. Brown of Birmingham; Members of the Board of Censors, Dr. w. H. Sanders and Dr. H. A. Moody. Dr. W. E. B. Davis was also selected as a member of the Board of Censors. the resignation of Dr. Andrews being necessary.

Mrs. l.. $. Webb Viee-President of Women's Democratic
 Clubs of Northern Ohio.

HERE are many sickly women be- \ tween the ages of Al and 55, but 9 there are very few invalids over 55
 or 60 years of age. The change of life coming to woman near her forty fourth year, either makes her an invalid or gives her a new lease on life. Those who meet this change in ill health seldom live ten years afterward, while woman who lays aside the active duties of womanhood in health seldom fails to live on in happi- ness, years after she has passed 60. During the change of life, the menstrual function gradually disappears. This is truly crit ical time.
 Mrs. Laura S. Webb, of Toledo, Ohio, recognizes the change of life as a danger ous period and she also has faith in Wine of Cardui. She writes:
 "As had always been troubled mora or less at the menstrual period, dreaded the change of life which was fast approaching. While visiting with friend noticed that she was taking your Wine of Cardui, and she was SO enthusiastic about it that decided to try bottle. experienced some relief the first month, so kept on taking it for three months and now menstruate with no pain and shall take it off and on now until I have passed the climax. do not dread it now, as am sure that your Wine of Cardui will be of great benefit at this time"

 The distance to which children may be advantageously conveyed varies with the character of the roads but the
 average is about four miles and the longest route should hardly exceed six
 miles. In an Iowa county six contracts

WHEELING OF MICE.

Made the Great Northerns Duplex Wire Unreliable for Four Days. Because a family of mice recently took up its abode in the attic of the Great Northern's temporary station on Havermale Island there came to the n- telligence department of the railway the most serious trouble it has encoun- tered in months. For three days the roads big duplex telegram system, by
 means of which most of the companys
 transcontinental business is done, was
 made unreliable, and at times it en-
 tirely suspended action.
 II was on the morning of January
 that the first trouble came to the wires.
 The instruments were pounding steadily
 along. hammerinS out train orders, spe
 cials to department managers and rush
 reports from division headquarters for
 St. Paul, Then there came a halt. The
 tickers stopped suffering, hesitated
 murmuringly a few seconds, and
 stopped operations entirely. All efforts of operators along the line to get the
 familiar ticking response failed, and
 trouble order" was entered.
 Rush orders to linemen followed, and the regulation method of testing lines followed In time came the knowledge that no lines were down. and still hunt for trouble in the office was start ed In the midst of this an operator struck the keys of the duplex and found it working perfectly. For three hours the heavily charged conduit worked and then came another break. It lasted for five minutes, and resumed as before. Four times that day the wire stopped working for irregular periods, always resuming and behaving for few hours.
 Night came and with it trouble for Night Manager Twist. He sent in a re- port on the constantly breaking con- nections. In railway office, with $i- 100000 worth of rolling stock in motion on two divisions and hundreds of lives dependent on the telegraph, there is every desire on all hands to keep the wires open. Inside of 36 hours from the 1rst break every man in the office had sought to find the leak, and every line , nan on duty had been put "on the car oet' for failing to find 1t,
 Finally Manager Campbell organized . | special searching party Every con- lecA)n was examined minutely every battery tested for strength Upward worked the managers and their assist .nts, III the garret of the building, where some of the most important con lections are made fine wires, covered with parrafin had been used The earchers found that a dozen of these lad been attacked by mice, and that he greasy mixture had all been eaten way.
 The theory is that as often as mouse anne to the wire interference resulted nd dead wire followed The wires iere plentifully daubed with tarry overing, and the party descended to he operating room.-Spokane Spokes- nan Review
