GOVERNOR JELKS
 GOES TO EUFAULA
HIS VACATION MUST BE VERY BRIEF, AS TOMORROW IS GOV. ERNoR'S DAY AT AUBURN AND HE MUST BE ON HAND.

Montgomery, June 6.-(SpeciaL) )-Gov- ernor Jelks went to his home in Eufaula this afternoon, but his visit will necessar- fly be brief. as he will have to return to Montgomery tomorrow evening in order to catch train for Auburn to attend the annual commencement of the Alabama Polytechnic institute.

with stomach troubles I tried all kinds of medicines, but they did mot do me much good. I heard so much of Peruna that I finally came to the conclusion to try it.

4 Juror Asleep.

Court Is an interesting place, especially if one has no further purpose In being there than to satisfy curiosity and to be entertained by the proceedings.
 But to the prisoner a court room has its terrors. There are always people who are anxious to pass away a few Idle hours sitting In the court room, listening to arguments and hearing testimony and the sharp cross questioning of quick witted lawyers. Such a person seldom goes to sleep.
 Whether he was a new juror or not, whether he Served his time" on juries and was an old timer, or 1t was his first experience, Is not known, but while very interesting case was on trial in the first division of the Criminal court last week a juror in the box dozed away to the land of dreams where no irate and un- willing witness looked daggers at the cross questioning lawyer and no all too willing responses were made to questions from "his side of the case"
 Judge Samuel E. Greene was on the bench. His attention to the jurors nap taking was called when an important wit. ness hesitated in giving his testimony and looked at the sleeping form of the man who would help to decide the issue involved at bar. When the court saw that the juror had slept on the case' he in- structed a deputy attendant to arouse him.
 When the rough hand of authority wns laid upon his shoulder the sleeper awoke with a start, quickly opened his eyes and being quick of comprehension realized the situation in a second. Before the judge could deliver reprimand the juror said: : Judge. I am feeling a little H. A drink of water and I will be all right" The water was brought. the juror informed that sleeping in a jurors chair, however comfortable that chair might be, was not allowed, and court resumed the even tenor of It's way.

Bald Heads and Hair Restorers.


 It is said that men who do great deal of brain work, men whose thinking ap- paratus Is constantly brought into action, become bald sooner than others.
 Probably this will apply to attorneys and judges who have to do no little brain work in the course of their professional and judicial careers.
 Tn discussing bald heads the natural thing to do is to bring in little some thing about hair restorers Some men like to be bald, and badness sometimes gives distinguished appearance to the individual If this Is the case probably It will account for the fact that some people do not object to presenting hair less pate when they doff their hats.
 As to hair restorers Barrels and bar rels of hair restorers are manufactured every year by a large number of firms. One firm in New York makes one thou sands barrels of hair restorer preparation every year, and all of the product is gob- bled up on the markets. This means that there are thousands of people who object to becoming bald headed and are exerting every effort to have the lost hair come back again, or rather to have new hair appear to take the place of that which has departed forever from its native heath.
 When a man discovers a little spot on his head that seems to be getting unus- ually thin he usually feels a wretched heart pang for fear that age Is fast en- circling his frame. Like some pretty miss before her mirrow, he makes fre- quent visits to a similar reflective article and makes minute examinations. To the barber shops he wends his way, carrying with him his head that Is fast becoming hairless. Here he reads the labels on nu- merous bottles and views with hopeful of fho Ct4fn narlo o,,d Sisters The barbers have new custom CT, and so the sale of hair restorer of various and sundry kinds and brands goes merrily on.
