Alderman R. II. Kerr, who is one of the Aldermen on the Greater Birmingham Committee but who was not present at the meeting Tuesday night on account of illness said yesterday that he was heartily In favor of extending the city s limits but that he doubted if it was ex- pedient to go to the extent that some of the committee seemed to desire.
 There are several things to consider" !" said Mir Kerr. in extending the city limits. Of course one of the first things is to give those whom it is proposed to take in an opportunity to be heard. The tax rate in most of these suburbs is 50 cents while in Birmingham it is $l. Several of the suburbs like Avondale for instance have issued bonds and some provision will have to be made by the city to assume these obligations.
 Fire protection, schools and other things will have to be given the suburbs to compensate them for the increased tax rate The mode and manner of as suming their debts will probably be reg ulated by the act of the legislature which authorizes the consolidation of these municipalities South Highlands for in- stance was incorporated and issued bonds before it was taken into the city and these bonds were assumed by Birming- ham and are now a part of its debt.

BOLD ROBBERS IN
 NORTH ALABAMA
HAVE HELD UP NUMEROUS PER. SONS, SECURING MONEY AND VALUABLEs-THE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO RESIST THEM.

Attalla January 22.-(Special)-A num- Der of bold and daring robberies and hold-ups have recently occurred on the mountain and in the valleys adjacent to Howelton and Walnut Grove, ten to fif- teen miles west of Attalla.
 The depredations have been commit ted generally in day light by two men the other a shotgun. So far very lit- tie. if any, resistance has been shown by their victims to stop them, as the persons who they attack are afraid to molest or make any attempt to prevent them from carry out their evil inten- ton.
 They boldly ride or walk up to house, throw their guns on the occupants be- fore they become aware of the presence of the robbers, and demand of them money and valuables. which they secure, 1t is said, with but very little resistance.
 At one house $50 in cash, and at an- other valuable watch and some wear ing apparel were taken In an attempt to rob another place they were fright ened away by two citizens, who fol- lowed them some distance down the public road. From ambush the desper, adoes covered their pursuers, told them to retreat, and do it quickly. This the citizens did without further ceremony.
 It is said the men were seen near. Att talla Sunday afternoon, heavily armed. The report is current that a large re- ward will be offered for their appre- hension.

FavOrS Consolidation
 But On a Limited Scale

made with each suburban town taken in
 Mayor Drennen is pleased it the pros poets of a Greater Birmingham.
 "A man from Avondale was in my office today said the Mayor, ana ne said that the people of that town were very much in favor of consolidation. The meeting Tuesday night was enthusiastic and successful, and I think all the su- burbs will be fayorably disposed to the idea.
 Invitations will be sent by the Mayor shortly to all the mayors of the towns which it is proposed to include in Great CT Birmingham inviting them to be pres ent. at the next meeting of the commit tee.
 Tt Is a good idea to start out with a large amount of territory to be taken in" said another member of the commit tee yesterday. You can then leave out any portion which it is not deemed ad- yisable to take in. The mere fact that the resolution passed at the meeting Tuesday night took in territory from East Lake to Ensley and from Red Mountain to the North Highlands does not necessarily mean that 1t will all be taken in If you start out with small territory and then want to take in an additional section the people of that section by not having been included in the first extension may become offended and refuse to come in Thus as I say 1t is a good idea to start out and invite everybody to come in that we possible can take care of, and if any reason arises why one section can not be taken in 1t can be left off

 HOW TO KEEP BEAUTY.
 Tn order to preserve this beauty of youth, to retain the charm of sweetness and freshness which belongs to maiden hood, the prerequisite is to understand that the chief foe of wonan's beauty IS wornan1y ill-health. Young women are often very careless of themselves. The temptation of the dance, or of the sleigh ride overrules their prudence, and the result is suppression and perhaps irregu- iarity. This is only the beginning of worse evils, and yet this alone is suf- ficient to steal the freshness from the face. The wofnanly health should be protected with the utmost care and the first symptom of derangenent or disease should be met by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
 VI will always recommend Dr. Pierce's FavoTite Prescription, Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Pellets for they cured me when doctors and other medicines failed" writes Mrs. Mary E. Lewis, of Tanner, Gilmer Co., w. Va. rFor fifteen years 1 suffered untold misery. When commenced taking Dr. Pierce's medicines, I had given up all hope of ever getting well.

There Is, however, one kind of beauty which is recognized by all end which IS every wor1an's dover, beauty to which the French have given the name of The Beauty of Youth" Many time we turn to watch some sweet, young girl,
 impressed by her beauty. But if we analyze the beauty we find it is made up of smooth skin, clear complexion, bright eyes, ruddy lips and rounded conunurs. That beauty ought to last always. But
