city, is rapidly nearing completion, and
will soon be equipped with machinery;
and
Whereas, the wonderful success of the
steam turbine, as the best type of en-
CINE for marine propulsion has been suf-
ficently demonstrated to lead us to hope
and urgently request that the Birming-
ham will be equipped with such type
of engine; and
''Whereas, a successful turbine has been
invented by Mr.. James Wilkinson. a. citi-
zen of Birmingham, and has been deyel-
oped by Birmingham men and promoted
by Birmingham capital, which turbine is

has an important bill, which he has intro
dueed to prevent the employment of la
borers in factories over ten hours per
day
In an interview today he calls attention
to the numerous factories in the state

ten hours, some even working them fifteen
and sixteen. He says little children are
also worked in this way.
Another important bill introduced by
Representative Smith is in reference to
Incorporating towns and cities. He SAYS
he wants to amend the present law. which
makes it necessary for fifty property
owners to sign a petition before ineor-
poration and make it twenty-five. He says
there are some factory towns with sew
eral thousand inhabitants, which cannot
be incorporated because the land is near
~ all owned by the factory owners.

DON'T ABUSE YOUR LIVER.

People who do not know it ought to
be told that when the liver goes on a
strike biliousness. dyspepsia, indiges-
ton. bad skin. malaria, constipation
etc. follow. 1t is simply folly to take
doses Of vile purgatives and other drugs
which, while they make the liver act
for the time being, leave it in a weak
cned condition. so that the bad symp-
toms make their appearance in d more
severe form than ever before.
Liver troubles and malaria can be
cured, but not that way. What is
needed is the natural herbs and vege-
table remedies that Nature herself has
provided. and here is a non-poisonous
harmless prescription that is doing
sufferers more good than all the drugs
mat were ever compounded: Fluid ex-
tract of Fringe Tree. onc-half ounce:
fluld extract of Gentian, one-eishth
ounce; concentrated Lecto compound,
one ounce; syrup of Ginger, two and
'hree-elghthS ounces. Take a tea
spoonful in a half-Glass of water before
each meal and at bed time, drink plcn-
~ of water and take regular exercise
every day.
Unless your case is different from
that of other liver sufferers, YOU will
soon find yourself on the road to re-
covCry.
Doubtless any druggist has these
ingredients.
