BAR ASSOCIATION
 WILL MEET TODAY
THE MATTER OF AN ADDITIONAL JUDGE FOR FEDERAL COURT WILL BE DIscUssED-UNDER WOOD WILL SPEAK.

The meeting of the Jefferson County Bar association will be held this morning at 10 o'clock in the city court room for the purpose of taking some action relative to the proposed additional federal judgeship for Alabama.
 Congressman Oscar w. Underwood will be present and will address the attor- neys on the question of the extra judge- ship. The meeting was called for last Saturday morning. but was postponed a week on account of the illness of MT. Underwood. The congressman is much im- proved and will be able to confer with the attorneys today.
 It Is probable that the bar association will appoint a committee to assist MT. Underwood in getting a bill providing for the extra judge through Congress.
 The question will be discussed of whether it would be best to relieve the situation by the creation of separate district or whether a bill shall be intro- duced providing for an associate judge to Judge Thomas G. Jones. who now has both the middle and the northern divi- sons of the state.
 Judge Jones is said to be in favor of the additional judgeship.

How TO Rest the Body.

Don't be afraid to open the mouth
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like it. Indeed, if you are
very tired, but do not feel like yawn-
ing, there is nothing that will rest
you so quickly as to set on a straight
back chair and, lifting the feet from
the floor, push them out in front of
you as far as possible, stretch the
arms, push the head back, open the
mouth wide and make yourself yawn,
says Woman's Life. Those tense
nerves will relax, the contracted
muscles will stretch. and the whole
body will be rested. Do this two or
three times when you are tired and
see what it will do for you.

Don't Borrow Trouble.

1t is bad habit to borrow any,
thing, but the worst thing you can
possibly borrow is trouble. When
sick, sore, heavy, weary and worn
out by the pains and poisons of dys-
pepsia, biliousness, Bright's disease,
and similar internal disorders, dom
sit down and brood over your symp-
toms, but fly for relief to Electric
Bitters. Here you will find sure and
permanent forgetfulness Of all your
troubles, and your body will not be
burdened by load of debt disease.

FATTEST WOMAN
In the World Weighs 557 Pounds
And is Still Grow
ing.

Mrs. Annie Redline, Of San Diego,
Cal. is said to be the fattest woman
in the world. Mr.. Burnett, who is
abroad the United States flagship
Chicago, in writing home to some
friends, told them of his visit TO
Mrs. Redline.
She is 81 years old and weighs 557
pounds. Her height is 8 feet inch
es, and around her chest she measur-
es Z feet inch. Around the largest
part of her arm Mrs. Redline meas
ures one inch more than two feet
When she was born, in Pittsburg,
Penn, she weighed g. pounds. In
the first two years of her life she
gained 81 POUNDS. and she has gone on
increasing in weight ever since. Al
though so feshy it does not seem to
have any bad effect on Mrs. Red
line save that it gives her trouble in
getting about. She has never been
sick and does not suffer from any
heart trouble, as many fat people
do. Again unlike most feshy per-
sons, Mrs. Redline can stand hot
weather and prefers it to cold.
There are no cabs large enough
to accommodate Mrs. Redline. and
when she wants to travel she has to
hire an open wagon. When'she does
go out it takes three men to help
her into the wagon and the same
number required to get her out.
She cannot walk more than ten feet
unassisted because her ankles are too
weak to carry her weight.
In order to be sure that she will
always have substantial chair to
support her quarter of ton Of
weight Mrs. Redline always takes
especially made one for her. Then
she is guarded for collapse. Before
she was so fleshy that getting about
was a trouble Mrs. Radline was a
music teacher. She has four daugh-
tiers.
Her husband is a slight-of-hand
performer. Many physicians and
scientists from all over the world
have examined Mrs. Redline in the
hope of ascertaining a reason for her
extraordinary weight but so far no
adequate explanation of it has been
given. Mrs. Redline says she just
grew that way like Topsy and that
is all there is to it.
