To- day was spent at Pickett Springs, where a barbecue was given and the idle mo- ments spent in dancing to the music of a fine orchestra. The barbecue was a dis tinct feature of the meeting, being one of the most valuable of all the ante-bel- lum customs that has been fostered by the people of the south.
 The election of Robert Cunningham of Birmingham as president is received here with much pleasure. He has been mak- ing this territory for a number of years and is almost as well known as any of the local men. Montgomery also appre- ciates the compliment paid it in the se- lection of Capt. A. G. Forbes. president of the Commercial club, as one of the vice presidents. The retention of Col. F. L. Higdon as secretary treasurer, while a foregone conclusion, is matter of pleasure to his friends of whom many reside in this part of the state.

types as riding on the steps Of om-
nibuses, cleaning carts in the road

London, affecting the fire risk. The
many arrests for petty breaches Of the
law show that the London police keep
very close watch on the streets. Their
activities may seem meddlesome to
Americans accustomed to ignore GER

congestion of traff1c--than in those Of
any large American city.
The most interesting feature of the
report is the emphatic approval Of
the finger-print system Of detecting
criminals, a system whose value IS
now fully recognized throughout the
United Kingdom. There were 2,616
j6nger-print "recognitions' during the
year by the metropolitan police. The

BY Or. Williams Pink Pills.

BY Or. williams Pink Pills.
Sufferers from ailments that have af-
flicted in regular succession one genera
ton after another of their family are, as
q rule, inclined to submit to them as in
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness end q readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.

son was realizing benefit from the use of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, I thought there
might possibly be some good in them for
me. Ny trouble had tien become so
serious as to make it difficult for me to
sleep. I often had to walk the floor in
restlessness the whole night. After TAX

peared and ceased to use the remedy.

you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
4 The relation of the nerves and gen.
erative organs in woman is so close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability spirits easily affected, SO
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps pain in the abdominal
region and between the shoulders;
loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia; a

tion-all these point to nervous pros
tration.

CURIOUS LAND LAW.
Owners In Belgium Do Not Control
beyond "a Certain Depth.

One of the curious phases of the land
law in Belgium is that the earth of a
landowner beyond a certain depth does
not belong to him. Should the owner
of the surface discover a coal or gold
deposit underlying his property he
must first obtain a government conce
sion before he can begin mining opera
tons. The land beyond the prescribed
depth In which wealth in the raw has
been discovered may be conceded to a
person other than the surface owner,
who may operate Under certain govern
ment regulations, one OF which Is that
the owner of the surface is entitled to
3 per cen of the value extracted.
The mine pays to the government an
amount determined by the value ana
Importance of the concession, after
which it must pay to the government a
sum prOportioned to the value or the
total extraction. The government
names the conditions under which the
mines as well as other Industrial estab'
lishments shall be operated and pro-
| tects and safeguards b health and
lives of the workmen as we'll as pro
| vides for the public safety.
The minister of industry and labor
appoints a state board Of mining engi
neers, authorized to regulate the work
ing of all mines and all establishments
considered dangerous or ~lnsanitary

Bees ms VentilatOrs.

1t Is not generally known, but most
b%eekeepers will inform you that such
Is the case, that each beehive has a
corps of what could properly be term
ed "%ventilating bees" During the hot
seasons these ventilators station them
selves at the entrance of the hive and
fan the interior with the incessant mo-
ton of their wings. These ventilating
corps are usually in relays of from
four to n half dozen, and they are re-
lieved at short intervals by fresh work
ers who keep up the tanning process.
They are kept at work by a sort OF
patrol of bees, which insures incessant
activity on the part of the tanners dur
Ing the time they are at work. This
story may sound strange to those who
know but little concerning the wonder
full intelligence of bees, but 1t is q
scientific fact that has often been au'
thenticated.

Diet and

1t is a broad rule that boiled milk
and buildings made with milk agree
more frequently than anything to re-
store a sick person. When beginning
to restore n sick person to more ordi-
nary diet begin with white fish, boiled.
Plaice or sole boiled in milk is excel
lent. Never give potatoes when the d.
gestion is bad. In place Of bread give
toast. Often there Is a craving for
acids. In such cases give lemon juice
diluted with water and sweetened with
sugar when allowable or with saccha-
rim in diabetes. A craving for green
stuffs should always be satisfied. Ma
ture herself is crying out. Give water
cress, but withhold radishes, as they
| are difficult to digest.
