A CROWDED CITY.

It is difficult, from mere reading of the hgures, to conceive the population of London. We can get better under standing of it by saying that the pop ulation of the three adjoining States of Georgia. Alabama and Tennessee would just about equal that of Lon don. according to the latest figures given out London, if we take in the Metropolitan and City Police Districts, has an area of 700 square miles. The three States have an area of nearly 15s,00O square miles. That Is, If all the people of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee were put into Montgomery county they would have considerably more room than the people of London have. "..-..
 It is difficult to conceive such a congestion of human beings as is indi- cated by these figures. It is hard to understand how people can live when thus packed like sardines. and still harder to understand how they find subsistence It is not to be wondered at that there is so much squalor, wretchedness, vice and crime when hu- man beings are thus crowded togeth- er If the population were equally dis tributed there would be nearly ten thousand inhabitants to the square mile. but as much of the area Is su- burban and comparatively thinly set tied it follows that other portions have vastly greater numbers than the av- craze would be. Bees in q hive are not much thicker than people are in some parts of the great city.

TORTURED BY

Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands and Limbs . Suffering Intense = Doctors Said Too Old to Be Cured An Old Soldier of 80 Years Declares:
"CUTICURA TREATMENT
 IS A BLESSING"

"At all times and to all people I am willing to testify to the merits of Cu- ticura. It saved me from worse than the tortures of hades, about the year 1900, with itching on my scalp and temples, and afterwards it commenced to break out on my hands. Then 1t broke out on my limbs. I was advised to use salt and water, which I did, to no effect. then went to Surgeon, who commenced treating me with wash of borax. This treatment did me no good, but rather aggravated the disease. then told him I would 20 and see phy- sician in Erie. The reply was that I could go anywhere, but case of eczema like mine could not be cured; that was too old (S0). I went to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for six months, with like results. 1 had read of the Gu ticura Remedies often. was strongly tempted to give them trial, so sent for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent and continued taking the Resolvent until I had taken six bottles, stopping it to take the Pills. Twas now getting better. I took two baths day, and at night l let the lather of the Soap dry on. used the Ointment with great effect after washing in warm water, to stop the itching. at once. I am now cured.
 "The Cuticura treatment isa blessing and should be used by every one who has itching of the skin. can't say any more, and thank God that He has given the world such q curative.

He is making new friends all over the state in his campaign for governor. and from every quarter come reports that his nomination is confidently eK- pected.
 In contrast to his opponent. MT. Conner pr. Cunningham Is broad and liberal in his views, and though stand ing squarely for rate reform. believes that there are also other questions de- manding attention, His official life has been a credit to him, and he would serve the state well as its chief sxeeu- tive.
 The Reaper bespeaks for Dr. Gun ningham a large and representative audience next Wednesday night. All who hear him will be enlightened up- on the various public questions of in- terest to Alabama.

SIDEWALK PENCILINGS
Five Ignorant Citizens.

Five well dressed, intelligent appear Ing white men were in the office of United States Marshal in the Federal building. They had come to Montgom- cry from one of the upstate counties to testify in the case of a man charged with retailing liquor without license. Ranging in age from twenty to twenty-five years, they were perfect physical specimens of rural manhood, broadshouidered, handsome and tanned.
 What time is 1t ?' one of them asked of a deputy. The questioner was stand Ing opposite the clock, and looking at it surprissS, the person addressed n nd b;ni for his informatfon with perfect courtesy. As the hearing of the ac- cused proceeded, and the witnesses were called upon tor testimony, it de- veloped that none of the five were able to write his own signature, and that none of them could tell time by the clock Yet, all were boys, whose posi- tion commands respect in their com munities.

Eight Masked Men Held People Mt
Bay while RObbing Two Banks
at White Cloud, Mich.

Grand Rapids, Mich. Eight
masked and heavily armed bur-
glars held the people of White Cloud
a village 45 miles north of here, at
bay early Thursday while they rifled
the Newaygo county bank and
attempted also to rob the bank OF
r. Cannon & Son. The eight men
rode into the town of White Cloud
between IL and o'clock, sur
rounding the buildings containing the
two banks, and posted guard outside
while other members of the gang
worked inside
The interior of the Newaygo Coun-
ty bank was completely wrecked by
two explosions. The burglars got be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in cash.
Dynamite was then used to wreck
the interior of the Cannon bank but
while the cracksmen were at work
there the townspeople wakened by
the explosions gathered until there
were so many of them present that
the guards evidently decided it was
not prudent to wait longer. They
called out the men working in the
bank before they could get the safe
open and covering the citizens with
guns, rode out of town on horse
back.

.lNrs GHesLerlu1pY,

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children it ruins a child's disposi-
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
leSsneSS, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound !;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing-down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and Snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.
