Why Some Women are old and Gray at Thirty and Others Fresh and
 Youthful at Fifty.

Female disorders sap the life and beauty and freshness of youth from women with astonishing rapidity.

STOP-OVER PRIVILEGE
RAILROADS MAKE CONCESSIONS TO
 MONTGOMERY.
Tourists May spend Ten Days in This City on Their Tickets-Arrange- ment Perfected by Conner
 cial Association.

ResinninR with Tuesday stop over privileges at Montgomery on World s Fair tickets to St. oLuis were allowed | by the Southeastern Passenger Asso- l citation. It salso announced that stop | over privileges for Montgomery VIII be allowed on winter tourist tickets. The latter privilege has not yet gone into effect but 1t will become effective as soon as winter tourist tickets have l been put on sale. Stop over privileges in all cities are limited to the two classes of tickets. The privilege al lows the holder of Worlds Fair ticket to stop over ten days in Mont pomery going or coming. No charge of my sort will be made for the prlvt- lege. The privilege was secured for Mont gomery through the efforts of Fred S. Ball. Chairman of the City Develop ment Committee of the Commercial and Industrial Association. It was granted because the City Council of Montgomery had put a prohibitory H. ccnse on ticket scalpers. The action of the City Council in this respect was drawn to the attention of Secretary Joseph Richardson of tfe Southeastern Passenger Association some time ago. After some correspondence MT. Rich ardson informed Mir. Ball that the
  on Worlds Fair tickets and would be granted on winter tourist tickets.
 In discussing the action of the Pas senger Association Mir. Ball said yes terday:
 Much benefit will come to Mont eomery as a result of this stop over privilege. It will encourage trade. 1t will give the home seeker an op- uortunity to stop at Montgomery with the result of knowing that there is no better spot in the Southern States in which to make his home. It will give those in quest of farms an opportu- nfty of Investigating the rich agricul- tural lands of this section where good farming will produce much better re- suits than can be obtained in any other section. and will prove a step in the right direction for the development of commercial industrial and agricul- tural interests"

ABOUT A CIRCUS.
Performers in Ring Guided by the
 Band.

Band.
 It is doubtful if any circus patron ever saw a member of the show look at a watch during the performance. From the time the first whistle Is sounded for everyone to mount, until the last race is run on the hippodrome track, the circus folks do not need a timepiece.
 The first whistle is sounded five minutes before 8 o'clock in the even ing. Five minutes later the second whistle is sounded, and the wheels of the two hours of pleasure are set in motion. The band is the timepiece with the circus. Any employe with the show can tell (though he be outside of the tenD just what acts are on in the rings by the tune that the band is playing.
 All performers work to a certain piece during the whole season. Certain kins of acts require a certain kind of music, and famous stars. such as the Polos. Heras Family. Nevaros, Molas- sos, and many others. have particular pieces of music which they have work ed with always. To play any other piece of music for their act would con- fuse the performer. This definite rou- tine of music. day by day. enables the show people to time their actions with out any timepiece. It has been said, and Is. not improbable, that the ring horses with the Wallace show can tell by the music just when they are want ed, and aA incident Is cited of the &C., ton of the bicycle riding elephant breaking loose from its chains to en- ter the ring when the time came. not waiting for its keeper who had been delayed
 The excellent performance of the Wallace Show, which will exhibit in Montgomery on Saturday. October 1st are noted for the vim and dash with which they are given. This is largely due to the uniformity of its famous band. and to the good management of its equestrian department.

BEAT CHILD TO DEATH.
Young Mother is in the Lnuder rdnIe
 County Jail.

Florence, Sept. 2O.-(Special.-One of the most horrible cases in the criminal records of Lauderdale County came to light Sunday afternoon when a physi- clan was summoned from Florence to Killen. d small place nine miles north of here to make a post-mortem exam ination of the remains of child who died Saturday morning at that place.
 The victim was a boy years old and the evidence brought out before q local magistrate was to the effect that he had received a beating from his mother two weeks previously which caused. or hastened his death.
 The remains of the child had been carried to Harrisons graveyard and were about to be inferred when the physician and officers arrived. On ex- animation it was found that the child s back was covered with whelps and un- healed sores the result of an unmerci- ful beating administered by his moth CT.
 The woman was brought to Florence and placed in jail. She ia only 70 years old and is mentally deficient She talked freely when questioned, giving an account differing from that of the witnesses examined. She said the child had been ailing for six months and had become so fretful that she whipped him with q small switch and he died The name of the woman is Lizzie Shoemaker.
