THE BENEFITS
Of PROHIBITION
A Returned HonoluIan on the
Great Changes in the
South.

A gentleman who has just returned
from Birmingham, Ala, has given a
most interesting account of the work
ings of prohibition in that most i'm
portant of Southern manufacturing
centers. He frankly confessed that he
had never been a prohibitionist him
self, but he could not help seeing what
had resulted from the abolition of the
saloon.
The population of Birmingham was
originally about $4,000, but by taking
in a number of its suburbs it had in
creased to about $4,000.
Unlike Savannah, Mobile and other
cities where prohibition was obtained
by legislative enactment, Birmingham
rid itself Of the saloon by popular
vote, and this, strange as it may seem,
with a heavy foreign vote to reckon
with. And this was one of the
strongest features of the recent CAM
paign.
1t was believed that the foreign ele-
ment would consider cutting off their
beer blow at their personal liberty
and make stubborn fight for the per-
petuation of ''the poor mans club
1.-THE change in the moral status is
remarkable he said; 'lawIessless of
all sorts has decreased astonishing1y.
In the month of February, 1907, there
were 1900 arrests; in the same month
in 1908 there were but so, and many
of those were for violations of the law
in connection with blind pigs
THE change in the appearance Of
certain localities in Birmingham, he
continued, SIS also striking. Many
places occupied as saloons have been
fitted up and are now used as restau-
rants. In others soft drinks sarsa-
parflla, soda water, ginger beer and
the like, are sold. One shrewd saloon
keeper has taken advantage of the en-
forced change in public taste. He
said: Men will drink something, and
/ now make as much selling soda water
as I did selling whisky
'"The value of property which once
adjoined saloons, with the rents of
those that are occupied, has advanced
greatly.
"Since January of the present year
there has not been a case of murder In
the court. Last year there was at
least one case a month, mostly grow
ing out of saloon brawls. On certain
of the streets it was not safe for
women to go alone, for fear of insult
from the half-drunken loafers on the
stfeet corners. This, too, is a thing OF
the past, and they can go freely and
unmolested anywhere. Brawls, offenr
sive talk-have all ceased absolutely
1.-The most notorious quarter was in
the vicinity of what was known as
the Stag Saloon 1t was a center OF
crime, and the neighhorhood was
avoided by reputable people. 1t is as
orderly there, now, as on ANY one OF
the principal business streets.
The city, too, is doing business or
cash basis,'' he said. IA cook en-
ployed in the family of friend OF
mine said that her husband brought
home his wages after the saloons We're

Nature and a wOman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for wOman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
lydia E. PiAkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's Ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
For twelve years l had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago L wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
| followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

lands new prime minister. Herbert l.
Asquith, held an all-morning conference
with King Edward, and left for Paris
at noon today. He plans an overnight
stop at the French capital. and viii
reach LonGon tomorrow evening.
Until he reaches home he refuses to
say what cabinet changes viii be made
under his administration, though he
does not deny that he discussed the sit
uation fully with his majesty, and has
his list completely made up.
Instead Of deferrlng his cabinet shake
up until more settled political times, it
is clear that Premier AsQuith intends
to make all the changes he contemplates
without delay. The decision is consid-
cred Characteristic Of his aggressive
personality. but it may be questioned
whether his promptness will not expose
him TO considerable political risks.
Not only is he sure to antaRoniZe
statesmen who will be forced from Of
fee. but the elections following his pro-
motions from the house Of commons
are so certain to result adversely to
his party that he will begin his admin
lstration with a series Of hUmiIiatng de-
feats at the polls.
AsQuith formally received his appoint
ment rs premier yesterday. He resigned
at the same time as chancellor of the
exchequer, and received instead that o.
first lord Of the treasury, a post IN
which the duties are so light that ne
will have time, without being unduly
overbUTdened, TO attend also 10 those

The best guess is that Lord LorebUEn
will be forced from his post as lord
high chancellor. in favor Of r. b. Ha- =
dane; that Winston Churchill will sue
seed Haldane as secretary Of state for
war; that David LlOyG-George Will be

Will succeed Lord TweedmOuth as hrst

SEEK TO SAVE SCHOONER
STRANDED IN DENSE FOG

EASTPORT. L T. April s--Tugs to-
day are working hard 10 save the FIVE
masted schooner George II. Hudson,
which stranded on the beach at Shin
mock early today. It is hoped the vessel
can be saved, although the high surf
running makes the task difficult.
The HUDSON, bound from Boston to
Baltimore. IN ballast, lost her way IN
INT heavy fog last night. Capt. Z. c..
Gardner had no idea he was in any dan
ger until the stern grated on the sand.
TX was then too late TO avoid stranding.
Shortly after she grounded, the vessel
was discovered by the ShinnOck life
saving station. With the high sea run
ming il was impossible 70 launch a life
boat, and the breeches buoy was called
into service. AS the schooner had been
driven close in shore a line was not
over the vessel without difficulty.
Notwithstanding the heavy pound ne
Of the seas. the crew Of eighteen men
refused % leave the vessel Tugs were
dispatched a. daylight 20 assist the
stranded schooner.
