MRS. ELvA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
Is womanhood, or the change from q
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each OF these stages.
and most Of the misery that comes
to women through ill health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember thnt lydia

NEGRO GAMBLERS
 BAGG1D IN A GAR
LINE vIoLAToRs OF GAMING LAW ARE CAPTURED BY OFFICERS ELLEDoE, PARKER AND elVENs. NOT ONE ESCAPES.

That gambling. has not been entirely stopped in Birmingham is emphasized by the fact that Policemen Elledge, Parker and Givens walked in on box car full of negro crap shooters yesterday morning in the Louisville and Nashville yards, re- sulting in the arrest of nine of them. who were locked up in the city jail OH charges of gambling and violating the Sunday law.
 Several negroes were walking up the railroad tracks when they came across a very attractive place in the form of an empty box car which had been loaded with watermelons. The floor of the car had been covered with straw to save the melons, and the invitation was too strong for the crap shooters to resist. They Jumped into the car, cleared out place in the straw, and proceeded to roll the dice. Others joined in until a healthy game was in progress.
 One of the negroes was up on his knees begging the dice with 'seven come eleven" but instead of "seven," three" came in the form of blue-coats. The game broke up then and there. The negroes were all so much interested in the game that the officers had no trouble in catch ing them after locating the place and if any escaped the strong arm of the law they went straight up,' unobserved by the officers

BertiIIon's New Invention.
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
 M Bertillon, chief of the intelligence department of the Paris detective service, who IS known as the inaugurator of the system of Identification of criminals by finger prints, has just perfected an ap- paratus which 1t is hoped will greatly help in the problem of the Identification of arrested criminals. M. Bertillon has the prisoner or the body-for the system Is also to be used to aid in the ldentifica- tion of the dead-photographed lying full length on table with the head slightly raised. The camera, in which is a special combination lens invented by M. Der tillon's assistant. M. Berthiot, Is placed directly above the object to be photo graphed, and at certain fixed distance. By means of a very delicate apparatus the distance from the lens to an imagina- ry plane level with a point half way be- tween the orifice of the ear and the cor ner of the eye Is measured, and from this distance Is reckoned the scale of the photograph-the number of times smaller than the original The photograph, when used in comparison with a suspect, is placed in an apparatus which almost the exact reverse of the camera. It Is placed at the given distance from the lens, and at the same time transpar- ent scale is moved into focus on the same plane. Reading on this scale, the detec- tive IS abole to esta blish the exact meas urement of the features of the prisoner.
