DO NOT KNOW WHAT
 CAUSES SICKNESS
Modern People Have Many Names for Same Diseases,
 According to New Belief.

Does human health depend on one or gan alone? This question is becom- ing widely discussed since L.. T. Cooper first advanced his theory that the stomach is the true seat of life
 Mir. Cooper. who has met with re- narkabla success in the sale of his new medicine. believes that the stom- ach is responsible for most sickness, and that this organ is weak in the pres ent generation. While discussing this Itheory recently. he said: +I am asked time and again to tell why my mhdecine has made such a record wherever I have introduced it. My answer always is. because 1t restores the stomach to a normal condition . No one will deny that today there ere more half-sick men and women than evbr before. Nothing critical seems to be the matter with them. They are just half-sick most of the time, They don't know really what is the matter with them. I have talked with thou sands during the past two years. and few knew indeed what their trouble was One said nervousness, another said kidney trouble. another liver cntn- plsint, some constipation. or heart trouble, or lung trouble. Many had trsatsd. as they called 1t. for most of these diseases at different fimds. A very common complaint Is 'alI run down. or tired all the time.' or no appetite.'"
 n know positively that every bit ot this chronic i'll health Is caused by stomach trouble. and nothing else. My New Discovery puts the stomach in sound condition in about six weeks. Mighty few people can be sick with a sodnd digestion. That is why my rned-

 The friends of the new institution also remembered it. For flowers, ac- companted by many good wishes, were sent in to decorate the bank on it's first days business. There was some thing of a contest to be the banks first deposItor, but this honorsw was achieved by Thomas Davidson, although a number of people waited patiently for the doors of the bank to be opened for business.
 All checks drawn on the new bank yesterday were paid in brand new money. The bank officials had pro- vided in advance for issue of new money on the first day.
 The new bank Is occupying the quarters on the ground floor of the vandiver Building. quarters which until Saturday were occupied by the First National Bank. A number of improve ments have been made. however. There Is a new system of safety de- 'posit vaults and new safes have been installed.
 The officers and stockholders of the new bank are among the best known business men of Montgomery. The of ffcials have had a wide experience in the banking business in Montgomery.
 The first days business of the new bank was altogether satisfactory.

 Among more recent converts to Mr :. Cooper's beliefs is 4Ir. Edgar l.. TIinds living at s Tappan Street. Everett, Mass. MT. Hinds has this to say on the subject:

Mehrtens-sherGdan Company at Mont
 gOmery Theatre.
 An evenings entertainment of sur passing excellence was that afforded by Madaha Laura Mehrtens and Sara Macdonald Sheridan at the Montgomery Theatre last night. this being the reg ular attraction of the Montgomery Ly- ceum. M /
 Mrs sMehrtens is the foremost wo- man pianist of America today. and it is to be regretted, but none the less true that 1t Is only because of her sex perhaps, that she Is not recognized as an artist of the same ability as Pade- rewski Rosenthal and others. It Is certain that her playing last night en- titles her to the distinction.
 Mrs. Mehrtens has made her home at Savannah for the last several years, and in that city, noted for its musical culture, she has long been recognized as pre-eminently the foremost pianist of the South, if not of the entire coun- try.
 Mrs. Sheridan is distinctly South ern woman, her home being in Att Ianta. She has won plaudits from mu- slcal America with her super contralto, which was heard at its best last night. with two such artists and such a tasteful program as that rendered there is little wonder that it was with reIuc- tanee that the audience left the the- atre.
 The program in itself was a gem, ranging in piano selections from the Lszt TarantelIa, with all of it's de- mands for brilliant technique and arr .tistic interpretation, to Chopin's most soulful creation, Le Berceuse. The vo- cal section was also varied. contrast ing Schuberts Aufenthalt with the old

EQUALS ANY BANK IN SOUTH,

Banking history of the right sort was made In Montgomery yesterday. notwithstanding the tiGhknesa ef the money market. The First National Bank moved into beautiful quarters in its recently finished sky-scraper. and the Alabama Bank and Trust Company, Montgomery's new financial institution, threw open it's doors for
 The quarters of he First National are among the very handaomeHt In the South. The two lower stories of its new twelve story structure are devoted to the special business of the bank. by thousands of Montgomerians who greatly admired the furnishinga as we'll they might, for competent judges pronounced them to be easily equal of thoss of any Southern bank.
 The friends of the banx did not let the day go unnoticed. Several bust- ness houses of Montgomery sent in officials that they appreciated the irn- porfance of tiie new step.
 President A. M Baldwin and his as- sociates had planned no celebration or observance of the day. It was their purpose to move quietly Into the new quarters and proceed orderly with the banks business. But the people of the city would not have 1t this way. They poured into the bank and the of- ficiais throughout the day were busy receiving the congratulations of the visitors over the beauty of the new quarters,
 The bank is now surrounded with veined Italian rnarble, giistening bronze and the fineEt mahogany The contractors were given orders to make the quarters equal to the best modern banks and they carried out those orders. It is hard to fancy a more beautiful or more impressive bank than the marble and bronze quarters Into which the big bank moved yes- terday.s

 The attraction of the Majestic The ntre this week is the playing of Miss Amy Lewy. There are other acts on the program and they are good, but the interest of the performance centres in the yaung lady, hardly more than q girl. who Is really remarkable in her playing on her violin.
 Miss Lewy plays with great express sion and sweetness, executing several very difficult numbers which were a treat to the musicians in. the audiences both afternoon and night.
 Miss Lewy has studied in Europe un- der famous teachers. and the musical people of that intensely musical tenn perament have pronounced her one of the real musicians.
 G. 1T Thomnson and Company in theit ghost scene and songs are good and the audience showed their appre- citation of their work by several cur- tain calls.
 Maior Doyle has been seen before in Montgomery at the Casino at Electric Park when that place of amusement was vaudeville house, and needs no Introduction,
 The moving pictures were good, and will be new ones at each performance.
 The Majestic has entered into con- tract with five of the leading members of the Ricci Italian band that has been playing at the Fair grounds. These musicians will be with the Majestic throughout the season. It Is the inten- tion to furnish highest class orchestra to the theatre-goers of Montgomery.

 Perhaps Mrs. Mehrtens scored best with the Tzubenstein Stacato Etude. foi- lowing the characterization In Tschar- kowsky,s weird vaise caprice Not that her Tarantefla wassnot rounded up to the brilliant climax of shrilling pre- cision and appealing expression, put there Is ever that soulfulness in Ru- bernstein that often subsidies the ar tlstic. @s A light re-arrangement of the vo- cal selections might more quickly bring audiences to the full apprec.a tion of what is In store from Mrs. sher- idan. The Schubert number was done well. bringing out the droning low notes in the singers splendid register, to their best advantage. But the au- dience would have preferred the Mes seneh number, perhaps. or even Cuth... bert Wynne's Through Love to Light, as in these there would have been am pie glint of the splendid things to come.

Four EerE0uB.
 Birmingham, Nov, 4.--(Special.) - Four men were hurt, a woman sus- tained a severe nervous shock, the lives of hundreds of persons fmperiled and two buggies demolished by runa- way on Twenty first street Monday morning shortly after 1T o'clock.
