and ret the station in first class condi-
 tton. Captain Watkins assigned each
 of the men to a special piece of work
 and before long. the engine house had
 been transformed into an inviting lock-
 ing home for the fire fighters.
 City Electrician B. A. Blakey quickly had the alarm indicator in place and connected, and the telephone was fn- stalled by noon.
 The West End fire station Is com
 fortably equipped. It is a two-story brick structure. buifr in an open field where afr and sunshine are plentiful The lower floor is used entirely for the fire apparatus and the horses while the second floor contains only the dwelling apartments of the firemen There is one large room for six of the fremen and two smaller ones. one or which will be occupied by Captain Watkins. and the other by Engineer McDaniel.
 In conveniences for the firemen. the station probably outranks all other stations in the city with the exception of the North Montgomery station, the counter part of the West End engine house The West End station has sew eral fine shower baths with cold ana hot water attachments. ana placed m a comfortable compartment. the floor of which is covered with tiling. There are also lockers placed at the disposal of the men for their clothing. In another compartment. there Is hand some toilet outfit. porcelain lined bath tub and a nice stationary wash stand.
 The station, however. is not nearly complete and 1t will take at least a week before everything is put into proper shape. The brass pole, down which they slide in case of fires, has not yet been installed. The approach to the station Is yet in crude condition and it will be paved with brick in order to afford an easy entrance, or exit for the apparatus. Arrangements are being made to enclose the rear yard of the station with a fence Numerous other details will have to be looked after before the station will be in the best of run ming order.
 The firemen assigned to the West End station are. Captain Jesse Wat kirs, Engineer o. L. McDaniel. Drivers

THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
 To Consider

FTRsr.-That almost every operation in our hospitals performed upon women becomes necessary through neglect of such symptoms as backache, irregular and painful periods, displacements of the female organs, pain in the side, burning sensation in the stomach, bearing down pains. nervousness, diz- ziness and sleeplessness.
 SEcoSD.-The medicine that holds the record for the largest number of absolute cures of female ills is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It regulates, strengthens and cures diseases of the female organism as nothing else can.
 For thirty years it has been helping women to be strong, curing backache, nervousness, kidney troubles, infiam- nation of the female organs. weak ness and displacements, regulating the periods perfectly and overcoming their pains It has also proved itself invaluable in preparing women for childbirth and the change of life.
 THrRD.-The great volume of unso- licited and grateful testimonials on file at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, many or winch are from time to time published by permission, give ab- solute evidence of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
 Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation to oWomen.-Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs Pink ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received. opened. read and answered by women only. From symptoms given, your trouble may be located and the quickest and surest way of recovery advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years under her direction and since her decease she has been ad- visings sick women free of charge. Ont of the vast volume of experience in treat ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably has the very knowledge that will help your case. Surely, any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

After instructions delivered by the chief. the men made all the necessary arrangements for carrying the neces- eary~apparatus and equipment with them to the station. and it was nearly 10 o'clock before they had everything in readiness. Horses were harnessed to an old hose wagon, used several years ago by the Scott street station. and to the old steamer. we'll known as "Alabama No. g." With the harness se- cnreiy fastened. the drivers mounted their seats and the crews jumped into the fire apparatus.
 A start was made but before, taking . Erect course to the new engine houee 1t was necessary to find a notary public in order to have the new men sworn in for duty according to the manner prescribed by law. So. the Apparatus were driven around to the city building where David Crosland, private secretary to Mayor Teague. was easily found. He administered the oaths to the laddies and they then speeded away to their new quarters.
 Arriving at the engine house. the horses were quickly unharnessed and the hose wagon and the engine were backed up into the house and placed In tho places where they will regularly stand.
 A soon as the firemen reached the new station. they felt at home. They were happy to get there and they at once began to clean up the premises
