UNIVERSITY OPENS
 ITS SUMMER SCHOOL
Attendance Is Surprisingly Large and Dormitores Are We'll Filled
 With Students.

University, Ala, June 13.-(Special )-The doors of the University were thrown open at 7:SO this morning for the begin ming of the third session of the University summer school for teachers, and since that time the secretary and his corps of assistants have been kept busy register ing students and looking after their needs From the time that the reduced rates were put on yesterday morning each train teachers anxious to take advantage of the liberal opportunities offered and eager to improve themselves in their chosen profession and draw inspiration from the fountain head of Alabama's educational system. So ready in fact. are the stu dents to apply themselves to their work, that the problem with the instructors is not to induce them to do certain amount of work but to prevent them from un- dertaking more than they can carry. With such enthusiasm prevailing. the current session of the summer school cannot help being, as the last two sessions have been. a gratifying success.
 The present indications are that the att tendance will be entirely satisfactory, notwithstanding the fact that not so = h advertising was done for this ~ as has been done for the other two. his state of affairs was brought about by the engrossment of the authorities in preparations for the celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Univer- sity's founding Yet, if the attendance this year should increase materially over that of last an embarrassing state of af- fairs would exist on account of the lack of accommodations. Already every room in Woods Ha1l the main dormitory. has been engaged and Is to be occupied by from two to four students. and the two smaller dormitories have likewise been pretty well filled. Up to the dinner hour today over 100 had registered, and there were still others on the grounds.
 Almost the entire teaching force is on the ground and busy forming classes. Among those who are not regularly en- gagged by the university and who have recently arrived are Miss Francis of Dal- las Tex; Mr. Wallace of Mobile; MT. Brock of Opelika; MT. Harrison and fam fly of Union Springs; MT. Striplin of Gadsden; MT. Pace of Troy; MT. Morse and family of Florence and Miss Higgins of Selma.

Are You Tired, Nervous
 and SleeDleSS :?

Nervousness and SleeplessneSs are us- ually due to the fact that the nerves are not fed on properly nourishing blood; they are std1'ued nerves. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes pure, rich blood, and thereby the nerves are properly nourished and all the organs Of the body are run as smoothly as machin- cry which runs in oil. In this way you feel clean, strong and strenuous-you are toned. up and invigorated, and you are good for a whole lot of physical or mental work. Best of all the strength and in crease in vitality and health are ldsttng
 The trouble with most tonics and med fcines which have large, booming sale for short time, is that they are largely composed of alcohol holding the drugs in solution. This alcohol shrfnks up the red blood corpuscles, and in the long run greatly injures the system. One may feel exhilarated and better for the time being, yet in the end weakened and with vitality decreased. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery contains no alcohol. Every Badge of Honestly. in full list of all its several ingredients. For the druggist to offer you something he claims is rjust as good , is to insult your intelligence.
 Every ingredient entering into the world-famed vGolden Medical Discovery" has the unanimous approval and endorse ment of the leading medical authorities of all the several schools of practice. No other medicine sold through druggists for like purposes has any such endorsement
 The rGolden Medical Discovery not only produces all the good effects to be obtained from the use of Golden Seal root, in all stomach, liver and bowel troubles, as in dyspepsia, biliousness, con stipation, ulceration of stomach and bowels and kindred ailments, but the Golden Seal root used fin it's compound ing is greatly enhanced in it's curative ac- tion by other ingredients such as Stone root, Black Cherrybark. Bloodroot, Man drake root and chemically pure triple refined glycerine.
