The change Of life" is
the most critical period
of a woman's existence,
and the anxiety felt by
women as Ii draws near
IS not without reason.
Every woman who
neglects the care OF her
health at this time in
vites disease and pain.
When her system is in
q deranged condition,
or she is predisposed to
Rpoplexy. or congestion
of any organ, the ten
dency is at this period
likely to become active
and with n host of ncr-
vous irritations make
life a burden. At this
time, also, cancers and
tumors are more liable
to form and begin their
destructive work.
Such warning symp-
toms as sense Of suffo-
cation. hot flashes, head
aches, backaches. dread
of impending evil, timid-
Sly, sounds in the ears,
palpitation of the heart,
SPARKS before the eyes,

and dizziness, are

copies of a proposed act, which, if passed by Congress. VII seriously af- feet Monteomerv as h Jobbing center, have been received by the Commerci tl Club of Montgomery as well as other commercial organizations throughout the country.
 The copy which reached Secretary h. L. Gilbert yesterd1y, was sent 10 him by Con sressman A. A. Wiley, who seeks to ascertain the sentiment of his constituents on the measure. Secretary Gilbert imme 3iately placed the prouos- ed act in the hands Of Naham J. Greil, chairman of the wholesale trade co n- mittee for action. Mir Grel will call a reeting of the committee for tonor- row at which the matter will be taken under consideration.
 From what could be understood. the issue is a propqsed revival of bill introduced into the United States Senate. December 5, 1905. by Senator Haywood. amending An act to rrgu- late commerce." by eli-ninatiag the words. under. substantially the same cjrcumstahces and conditions"
 The bill seeking the amendment is stln on the file of the Senate, and has never been acted on.
 It was learned from Mir. Greil that the effect of the passage of the hil! would be to compel railroads to place freight charges entirely on the nlile- age basis, thereby practically eliminat- ing all jobbing centers uf the Southern states. He said il. would bring ali small towns on the same basis as Montgorn- cry, thereby undermining Montgo nery and all such cities, as distributing cen tres.
 Mir. Greil Is earnestly opposed to the passage of the measure as are the job bing Interests of Montgomery. It Is ex- peeted quick and appropriate action will be taken by the wholesale trades committee.

"No reduced rates for conventions in states which have passed 2 cents mile laws" IS a motto adopted by railroads In the Central Passenger Association. This new policy was risidly obserVed at the last regular monthly meeting of the Association. Scores of applea Ions from various organizations for redueed rates for theif conventions were re- lected because meetings were to be held in ohio, Michigan and New York.
 The Association even refused to grant the customary rate of "a fare and one-third for the round trip which Is practically cents a mI.e each way,
 For such events as the reunion of ths Grand Army of the Republic, the an- nual meeting of the National Fdu a. tional Association and of the Young Peoples Society of Christian D deavor railroads probably VIII continue to make important reductions In rates.
