EnsIey Wants to Be Shown.

'The people of Ensley are ready to be shown" said Mayor D. F. Sugg of that thriving suburb yesterday, "the advan- tagers of being made a part of Greater Birmingham, according to the plan re- gently proposed by representative Jere c. King, but in my opinion 1t will take some good arguments to get their con- sent to such proposition. Our represen- tatives, however, will attend the meeting to be held by the municipalities to be ar fected and participate in the discussi>a of MT. Kings proposed bill.
 "The city of Ensey is now entering upon the most prosperous period of her history" continued Mayor Sugg

Of this amount s10,000 represents city hall bonds, which fall due In about two years. we will be able to liquidate these bonds anu meet all current expenses at the same time, and will accomplish this with a low tax rate and with much of the prop erty inside the city limits assessed at very low valuation. This condition the present administration Is trying to remedy by means of a tax commission recently appointed to take up the matter of low assessments with back tax Com missioner Thompson and the Board of Revenue We hope to accomplish some thing in this way. With low tax rate, as good schools as there are in the state. storm and sanitary sewer systems, an excellent fire department, good police protection, and free delivery service to be installed on June l. together with the other Improvements mentioned, we can not see that becoming part of Greater Birmingham would help us any at pres ent'

injury from Mosquitoes.

New Jersey has many places ideal
'sin situation and accessibility, and one
such place developed rapidly to GER
tain point and there 1t stood, halted
by the mosquitoes that bred in the
surrounding marsh lands. Country
club, golf, tennis and other attrac-
tons ceased to attract when attention
was necessarily focused on the biting
or singing pests that intruded every
where, and the tendency was to sell
out. But the owners were not ready
to quit without fight, and an i'm
provement society was formed which
consulted with my Office and followed
my advice. In one year the bulk of
the breeding area was drained, mos.
quitoes have since been absent al
most entirely; one gentleman, not 3

erty had increased $4,000 in value,
and new settlers began to come in.

areas of the olden day was used as

NERVOUS COLLAPSE
is OFTEN PREVENTED BY DR..
WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
Taken When the First Warning Symp-
toms Are Noticed Much Needless
Suffering May Be Saved.

Are you troubled with pallor, loss of
spirits, waves of heat passing over the
body, shortness of breath after slight
exertion, a peculiar skipping of the
heart beat, poor digestion, cold extremi-
ties OF feeling of weight and fullness?
Do not make the mistake of thinking
that these are diseases in themselves
and be satisfied with temporary relief.
This is the way the nerves give warn
ing that they are breaking down. It
simply means that the blood has become
impure and cannot carry enough nourish-
ment to the nerves to keep them healthy
and able to do their work.
Rest, alone, will sometimes give the
needed relief. The tonic treatment by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, however, pre-
vents the final breakdown of the nerves
aad the more serious diseases which
follow, because the pills act directly
upon the impure blood, making it rich,
red and pure.
Mrs E. o. Bradley, of 1903 Parsells
avenue, Rochester, N. Y, says:
81 was never very healthy and some
years ago, when in a rundown condi-
ton, suffered a nervous shock, caused
by misfortune to friend. It was SO
great that was untitled for work.
Il was just weak, low spirited and
nervous. could hardly walk and could
not bear the least noise. My appetite
was poor and did not care for food. I
couldn't sleep well and once for two
weeks got scarcely an hours sleep. I
had severe headaches most of the time
and pains in the back and spine.
II was treated by two doctors, being
under the care of one of them for six
months. / got no relief and then de-
cided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
soon began to feel better and the inn
provement was general My appetite
became hearty and my sleep better.
The headaches all left and also the pains
in nv back. A few more boxes entirely
cured me and was able to go back to
work. 1 felt splendid and as though
had never been sick"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are invaluable
in such diseases as rheumatism, after
effects of the grip and fevers, neuralgia,
St. Vitus' dance and even partial
paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
