HOW l TOOK
 MY WRINKLES OUT After Massage. Creams and Beauty
 Doctors Had Failed.
By HARRIET META

Trouble, worry and ill-health brought me deep lines and. wrinkles. I real ized that they not only greatly marred my appearance and made me look much older, but that they would greatly in- terfere with my success, because a woman's success, either socially or financially. depends very largely on her appearance. The homely woman with deep lines and furrows in her face must fight an unequal battle with her younger and better-looking sister.
 l therefore bought various brands of cold cream and skin foods and mas saged my face with most constant appearance. But the wrinkles simply would not go. On the contrary, they seemed to get deeper. Next went to a beauty specialist, who told me she could easily rid me of my wrinkles. I paid my money and took the treatment. Sometimes I thought they got less, but after spending all the money I could afford for such treatment, I found I still had my wrinkles. So I gave up in despair. and concluded must carry them to my grave. One day a friend of mine, who was Versed in chemistry, made a suggestion, and this gave me a new idea. I immediately went to work making experiments and studying everything I could get hold of on this SuDJecL Alter several long months or almost numberless trials and discour- agements, I finally discovered a pro- cess which produced most astounding results on my wrinkles in a single night. I was delighted beyond express sion. I tried my treatment again, and To and behold, my wrinkles were prac- tically gone. A third treatment-three nights in all-and I had no wrinkles and my face was as smooth as ever. I next offered my treatment to some of my immediate friends, who used 1t with surprising results, and I have now decided to give 1t to the public. I will send further particulars to any one who is interested. absolutely free of charge. l use no cream, massage, face steamings or so-called skin foods; there Is nothing to inject and nothing to njure the skin. It Is an entirely new discovery of my own, and so sim pie that you can use 1t without the knowledge of your most intimate friends. You apply the treatment at night and go to bed. In the morning, To! the wonerful transformation. Peo- pie often write me. It souns too good to be true. Well. the test will tell. If interested in my discovery, please address JARRETT META. Suite 506A, Syracuse. N. r., and I will send full particulars

PLANS APARTMENT HOUSE
 OF EIGHT or TEN STORIES
l.. 4. SandersOp Purchases Lot on HOI- combe Street to Re Used for
 That Purpose.

A handsome apartment house. of the most modern design, is being planned by l.. A. Sanderson, and to that end he purchased lot on the western side of Holcombe Street 70x210 feet several days ago. The property was bought from Eliza Richards, and the nominal price was $4,0oO.
 The lot purchased by MT. Sanderson is No. 55 in the Clayton plat. and is large enough for the purpose for which 1t was purchased. Mrs. Richards bought the property in 1885 from Ade- laide Henry.
 Mir. Sanderson says he realizes the need for a modern apartment house in Montgomery, and expects to erect an eight or ten story house of the most modern design on the lot he has just purchased. Deeds were recorded in the office of the Probate Judge yesterday.
 A deed conveying to Patrick T. Null cahey from Johanna Bimelow a lot 14Ox70 feet on the south side of Martha Street, and 140 feet east of the inter section of Martha and Dickerson Streets, was also filed in the office of the Probate Judge. The consideration in this sale was $10,000.

CONFER BACK HOME
GOVERNOR WILL BE AT THE CAPT.
 TOL MONDAY.
Says He Secs No Reason to Change His Mind Concerning Special Session
 of the Legis1a-

Birmingham, Sept. 14.--tSpecial)- Governor Conner who has been spend ing two weeks at Atlaptic City and in the East, is in Birmingham and will be at his desk in Montgomery Monday.
 The Governor looks well as the re- suit of his brief rest. He says he en- Joyed his vacation and feels that it did him much good physically.
 When asked as to the status of tho matter of calling an extra session of the Legislature, he said that the mat ter was just as he left it when he went East two weeks ago, as far as he knew.
 It will be recalled that Governor Conner, before he went away, an- nounced that if the Louisville and Nashville and other recalcitrant rail- roads had not adopted the new freight and passenger rates by October 1, or given notice of their intention to do SO, he would issue a call for an extra session of the Legislature.
 He did not say at the time just what legislation he had in mind to meet the situation, but 1t Is we'll understood among the administration leaders that several important measures have been discussed, some to strengthen existing laws bearing on the railroads and others being entirely new and apart from any laws now on the statute books.
 During Governor Comer's absence from the State there was sent out from Louisville by the Louisville and Nash Vile Railroad a pamphlet containing certain correspondence which had President M. H. Smith of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, bearing upon the efforts of the Executive of Ala bama to have the above named rail- road adopt the new rates and obey the States laws pending their final de- termination by the courts as the South ern and other roads have done. Among the correspondents was a letter from President Smith in which he charac- mer as those of "highwayman
 Governor Conner 1t Is said. will re- ply to this letter in due time, and it is understood what he says will be rather warm. He is very busy with his pri-, vate affairs and will be busy for number of days catching up with State duties when he goes to Montgomery next week, but later on he Is expected to make answer to President Smith.
 The Chief Executive said Saturday that he found no section of the coun- try is more prosperous than the South.
 T have also found" he added. that Alabama's laws bearing on corpora tions are exceedingly lenient as com pared to those of some other States. We have been very fair in our cor poration legislation and any idea that we are expressing the railroads is all nonsense"
 Governor Conner spent large part of this morning at Avondale Cotton Mills. He was interested to learn the details of the prohibition contest now on in this county, which fight has be- come acute during his absence.
