Os Interest To women.

 Bear in mind, please that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is not secret or patent medicine, against which the most intelligent people are quite naturally ayerse, because of the uncertainty as to their composition and harmless character, but is @ MEDICINE or KNOWN COMPOST TON, a full list of all it's ingredients being printed, in plain English, on every bottle wrapper.

Montgomery WiH Be an EUeless
 Eden Within q FeU Hundred Years

while at the same time, more negro males are being born.
 The percentage of white male deaths, as compared with white female deaths, is 53 %, the percentage of white fe- male deaths being 47. %. The per centage of negro male deaths is T.76, on the other hand, as compared with deaths. Accordingly, white males are dying faster than white females, whereas negro females are dying 4.Ae faster than negro males.
 The percentages are as follows: White male, 54 72; white female, 46.2S; {; negro male, 51 03; negro female, 4s.Sf. From this, 1t Is seen that white males are being born s.44 faster than white females, while negro males are being born only 1 .0s faster than negro fe- males Inasmuch, however, as the per centage of white deaths favors the white females by 6.60, and the per- centage of white births fayors the males by 9 A. the city would have 10 go many thousands of years, at the present rate, before the city is Eve- less.
 But not so with the negroes As stated above, negro females are dying faster than negro males by 4.4S. Also. negro births favor the negro males by 1.06, so that, with all influences against them, the city will be minus It's negro servants and cooks long be- fore 1t will be entirely Eveless. De- portation to Montgomery will be the only servant solution.
 The records, however. show another queer turn of affairs, namely, that the negroes, irrespective of sex. are dying out at a great rate. The total num- ber of deaths for the nine months was 621. Of this number, 21s were whites, and 402 were negroes. Accordin sly. the ratio of negro deaths as compared with white deaths is 64.734, the white ratio of deaths being 35.266. Again, the number of whites born during this time was 349, the number of negroes being 290. The ratio, accordingly, is for the whites, 54. e1: for the negroes. 45. 38. With the Africans dying fas- ter, and with the Caucasians being born faster, the sturdy sons of Ham will be out of existence even before the city is half way minus It's white females.

CHANGE TERMS TO TWO YEARS House ReconSiders Vote
 on Amendment. IS FOR BIENNIAL SESSIONS Speaker Carmichael Strongly Urges
 Passage of Bill. neclares if People of State Do Not Approve of Conner Administra-
 -svn, They Should Be Givea
 Opportunity to Say So.
IS FOR BIENNIAL SESSIONS

If the electorate of the State of Alabama does not approve of the ad- ministration of this Legislature and of Governor Conner, 1t should have an op- portunity to say so, and, therefore. I hope that the members of this House will vote for this bill."
 This was the statement of Speaker Carmichael in yesterdays session of the House, when it was called upon to reconsider the measure providing for Q vote of the people on constitutional change that will make the sessions of tho Legislature biennial instead of quadrennial, as at present. The amendment was finally adopted.
 In his argument, the Speaker con- tended that submitting this question to the voting population of the State could do no harm. and that, on the contrary, the voters would have chance either to approve of the course of the present Legislature, which 1t would do by voting against the pro- posed change, or to disapprove by voting for it.
 Speaker Carmichaers statement came after the House had been struggling with the problem for more than an hour. It decided Tuesday that the bill ought not to pass, and 1t failed of pass age by just two votes. The matter was brought up again yesterday on the vote to reconsider and at once the champions of the bill became ousy. finally winning their battle.
 At times the speeches became per sonal. It was this condition of affairs that induced MT. Carmichael to relin- quish the chair and speak in favor Of the bill. He reminded the members that all of them had practically made up their minds as to how they were going to vote on the question. It was a plain question, he said. and 1t was

A study of the local vital statistics for the first nine months of the present fiscal year, as entered on the records of the Sanitary Department, shows a startling condition. It Is nothing short of appalling. for in the end it has to deal with the affections. and where they will be bestowed after a few centu- riees have rolled away The discov- cry is that the females are dying out; that every year more of this sex die than of the otheri that every year the number of female births are less than the number of masculine.
 A statistician in Chicago has esti- mated that in a few hundred years, the Windy City will be an Adamless Eden. In the same length of time. Judging from the conditions during the past nine months. Alabama's~ City will be an Eveless Eden--worst than Sdes- sert.
 During the first nine months of the fiscal year of 1s0e-1s07, the records at the Sanitary Department show that the total number of deaths aggregated 621. Of this number, sos were females and SIS were males. Of the females, 103 were white and of the males 116 were white.
 \ From the above figures, the percent age of female deaths is 50. 4o25. the
  4s. 5s75. The percentage shows \noth ing of the appalling nature, but in view of the fact that the birth percent age is a great counteracting infiu- ence, the deduction derived in the first premise impresses the theory.
 The total number of births during this time. the first nine months, was sss. Of this number, 33s weer males, 300 females. The percentage of male births, accordingly. was greatly in ex- cess of the female percentage-the first being s3 06ls. the last being 4e. .s4S4. the totals showing a differ ence of e.1os2.
 While the above percentages tell the story irrespective of race. study in the local raeial conditions reveals facts just as startling. For instance, if shows that white males are dying out faster than white females. and at the same time being horn faster. As concerns the other race however, the conditions show the negro females to be dying faster than the negro males.

Pursuant 10 the ordinance which was introduced into the City Council on Monday night. providing for the de- struction of all weeds as high as twelve inches. whether on the sidewalk or one's premises, the Sanitary Depart ment of the city Is distributing circu- lars in the city, impressing the new law upon the Montgomery citizens. The ofiicials of the department say that the law will be strictly enforced, and with this end in view the sanitary in- spectors have been instructed to inVes- tfrate weed conditions while out upon their regular run, and to report the same to the office so that steps can be taken to see to the laws enforcement.
 According to the text of the ordi- nance, an owner, agent or tenant Is all lowed seven days fin which to rid them selves of the. objection. Upon failure to do so in this time, the law says nenaIty of from $1 to $100 will be im- posed. the same fine to be paid for each offense.
 The point concerning the wisdom or inc removal of weeds for strictly sanitary reason is much debated. It Is claimed by 6 number of well known physicians that khe health of the city

Weeds of the City Must Be
 Cut to Height of 12 Inches

might probably be improved with the obstruction out of the way, while oth- CTS equally as skilled in the profession express a belief that weeds are con ducive to healthful conditions.
 However. from the commercial sani- tary viewpoint, the weeds are desired removed. From the viewpoint. espe- cially of q city's beauty, their removal Is desired. and this is the particular provision that the ordinance was made for It is pointed out that they are very unsightly, and that they can hide filth more easily than would be the case otherwise. All sorts of nuisances, the argument goes also seek refuge where the weeds are particularly high --of a mans height in many sections.
 Heretofore the Sanitary Department mas been regularly requesting that ten ants remove the weeds. but have never had the law with which to enforce the petition. Now the department Is put on the aggressive, and the statement Is made that the law must be enforced, and as early as possible.
 No trouble Is anticipated from the property owners, agents or tenants. i'm asmuch as the great majority of the houses are rid of the objections.
