The interest created in leading cities during the past year by young MT. Cooper with his new preparation. is largely accounted for by a peculiar quality possessed by this medicine, which he calls his New Discovery.
 Mir. Cooper believes that internal parasites, or tapeworms. are respon- sible for much i'll health. and 1t is an undoubted fact that his medicine has expelled immense numbers of these creatures in various cities visited by him. The young man also believes that stomach trouble is the main cause of all i'll health. He claims that few can have poor health with good di- gestion. He further claims that his New Discovery medicine does nothing but tone up the stomach, yet 1t not only expels the parasites. but relieves many other ailments not as a rule as- sociated with stomach trouble.
 Little Jessie Birdsali. daughter of Mrs. Ida Birdsall. living at 213s Car roll Avenue, Chicago, is among many relieved of e large parasite by Mir. Cooper's preparation during his stay in that city. In speaking of the mat ter to Mir. Cooper. the mother said: My child. Jessie. who Is IA years old. has been suffering with this trouble for over seven years. Until this morn ing we did not know what the trouble

was She was extremely nervous; the least little thing would upset her; her tongue was coated. and at times she would have good appetite. then again could not bear the sight of food; she was restless at night, had bad breath, especially when she got up Of morn ings. We tried everything to relieve her, but met with no success. We were just on the point of giving up trying anything else, when we began to read of Cooper's New Discovery. Several days ago we purchased this medicine. Jessie has been using 1t regularly. and this morning this parasite left her system. I don't wonder that she has always felt bad. and nothing we would give her seemed to relieve her. Now that she is relieved of th;s tapeworm I feel sure that she will grow better each day. and enjoy perfect health. MT. Cooper. your medicine Is worth thous- and times more than you charge for 1t. I know of q number of people troubled the same way as Jessie has been; and I certainly expect to tell them person ally to try your medicine"
 We would advise anyone who has been troubled for some time with gem eral poor health to try this great medi- cine. We arc agents for 1t in this city. -E. G. Fowler.

WEAK WOMEN
ALetter of Interest to Many in
 Montgomery.

After a very long and trying expAri- ence, Mrs. W. c. Parker of Jackson. Michigan, writes 6 friend as follows: T have been sick and all run down for more than a year. took all kinds of medicines that were recommended by friends. I was in such a nervous condition that I could not bear the slightest noise, and so weak that advised me to try the cod liver pfepa- ration, Vinol, and did so with won derful results. My weakness and ner- vousness are all gone. I can walk any distance, and have gained very rapidly in strength and flesh. I am writing you of my experience in order that you may advise any one whom you know Is suffering as was what to take"
 This is only additional testimony in regard to the value. of our cod liver preparation, Vinol, which we have 50 unhesitatingly recommend to the peo- pie of Montgomery for the last few years. vinol is not patent medicine. b M cod liver preparation made by scientific. extractive and concentrating process from fresh cods' flyers. com bining with peptonate of iron, which Is a needful constituent for the blood. all of the medicinal, healing and body building clements of cod liver oil. but no oil.
 We ask every person in Montgomery who is run down, nervous, debilitated and every aged, feeble person to try Vinol on our guarantee to return money if 1t fails to give satisfacti0n.-- E. c. Fowler. Druggist.

school age. thus leaving in the cities and towns the small proportion of s4.- 7ss.
 Yet there are fewer than four -sev- entfs of the children of school age who are enrolled in the sch ools of Afabams. This average is lowered. however, by counting the negro children. This Is shown by the fact that the enrollment of white children Is 2sf,31e, or nearly 70 per cent of the total available ma. terisL The total of negro pupils Is only 1s6.0s0. which Is scarcely 4s per cent of the total possible enrolment.
 Yet these figures show q remarkable advancement over the status of the year previous and other back years.
 The total number of negro teachers In the State holding the three grades Of certificates Is 1.s44. whereas there are 5.416 white teachers equipped with certificates The aggregate number of is 7.2so.
 The value of school property as re- ported by county superintendents. amounts to s2.1Ts,7ss. The total as re- ported by the city superintendents is sl.57s.o0o. thus giving total value of aii public school property of ss.754,-
 In the rural schools, the average monthly salary paid white teachers Is sis7s while the average to the negro teachers is s2s.27, Tn the city schools the average monthly salary paid white teachers is $ss.s2 and the average to the negro teacher Is $2s.6s.
 The average length of school term in the rural school districts is seven months. and the average term in the city school districts Is nine months.

Mir. Brooke Begins Yearly Task--state Examiner Purffoy. in Midst of Envesfigafing Tour,
 Praises Schools.

State Examiner H r. Brooke of Pub lie Accounts. began yesterday an an- nual examination of the books and. acc counts of the State Department of Edu- cation as Is required by the law. Upon the completion of this examination, Mir. Brooke will proceed to the examin- ation of other State Departments and will report on them individually to the Governor az soon as they are com- pleted.
 Judge John Purifoy, another of the Examiners of Public Accounts, has re-. turned from an extensive trip through the State, where he made an exanina- ton of the normal and district agri- cultural schools of Alabama. On these he will shortly report to the Gov ernor.
 While it was the mission of Judge Purifoy to look not into the merits. but into only the accounts of the institu- tions visited. this officer said yesterday he could not but nota incidentally a surprisingly healthy condition of the State normal schools and tho various agricultural schools he visited.
 T fear that few people appreciate the great good that is being accom- plished by the district agricultural schools of Alabama" said Judge Puri- foy "The same can be said of the nor nal schools. have not made an ex- animation of all the normal schools, put I have been to the sites of the majority of them. My observation has been that they are using an excellent system for the kind of work they are perform ing. Certainly the country schools should not be jealous of the work be- ing done by the normal Institutions. Every time a graduate is turned out of the normal college. there ss that much addition to the rural and smaller schools of the state. as that one be- becomes member of the faculty in most instances of the public schools.
 T was surprised to find the really practical training and education that is being given at thea agricultural schools. At one of the Colleges I be- Iieve I counted as many as twenty young women engaged in manual work at the experiment stations. I asked the President of the college what the girls were working for. He replieds with show of pride. that they were being gwen practical lesson in gar- dening."
 The normal schools of the State either already visited or to be visited by-Jndge Purifoy in his course of examination, are those located at Jacksonville, Fior@ ence, Troy, Livingston and Daphne. An examination has also been made of the Normal and Industrial School at Hunts$ ville, a negro institute. of which, w. Hs Counciil is President. .ft14 sf

EXPERT EXPECTED TODAY
 TO TALK IMPROVING RIVERS

John A. Fox. special director of the National Rivers and Harbors Con- Eress. will arrive In Montgomery this morning and during his stay in the city will be the guest of the Commer- eial Club. MT. Fox had expected to come to Montgomery last night, but he was unavoidably detained In Selma where he remained last night.
 The visitation of Mir. Fox is hoped to be of vast import to the city. It is said that he regards Montgomery as one of the chief points of his tour and he believes this city will be one of the main beneficiaries of the improvement of waterways in Alabama. Tn other parts of Alabama MT. Fox has received hearty cooperation and there Is no doubt that he will have the same cor- dial help nere.

NeW Ways Of Making
 Ugly Women Look Pretty

.lobstered. By the time she has finish ed her flesh Is all of Jingle and her skin is three shades clearer.
 We have three bottles of beauty preparations with which we follow the spray bath. The first one Is water with boracic acid in it. The second one Is an innocent thing with benzoin shaken Into its depths. And the third contains quince seed lotion thinned with glycerine and rose water. It is seldom that we need to use ali three.
 We insist that the ugly duckling cream her face we'll before going out and that she cover 1t with powder. IL may not look refined to use so much powder. but she can wear a veil and the tects her skin and keeps the pores from filling with dust.
 If the ugly faced woman Is going to be really fine in face and in form also she must certainly take the mas sage roller exercise which will take down her flesh amazingly. She can use an ordinary rolling pin and a little practice will make her wonderfully sktllful with 1t. The Idea Is to roll the flesh upon the hips and ribs until 1t Is persuaded to go away. The sci- ence of the matter Is that the rolling pin exercises the muscles and so re- duces the fish. Certainly wonderful cures follow the persistent use of the rolling pin.
 We are advocates of the skin bath ing methods. Our best actresses take daily air baths and our professional beauties spend hours a day breathing through the skin. We tell our ugly duckling to spray the face with hot water, to cream the skin we'll before pinning on the veil; and not to forget the daily massage of the hips and fieshy portions of the body with the rolling pin. In this manner the work of becoming prettier is begun.
 If the ugly duckling knew what q dinerence good gowns make in her looks she would not hesitate so long about the purchase of the necessary clothing.
 The woman who dresses in cerise. or In bright blue, or in a brilliant pur- pie or a ripe corn may be all right from one standpoint. If she Is a great beauty she can wear the coIors and net suffer thereby. But, if she is of the ordinary type of beauty, she will find that her gown swears at her skin.
 If the ugly duckling is short we dress her in light colors to make her seem taller; we put high heels on her and tell her to accustom her foot to them; we dress her coffrure rather tall and we order her to wear a little round toque built rather high. There are many ways of making a woman look tall. We make a business of making over uGly-faced women"

DIRECTORY OF
 EDUCATION Statistics of States. School System. WONDERFUL ADVANCE IN YEAR Many School Houses Built tn
 Alabama. Pamphlet Compiled by chief Clerk FeaEin shows Remarkable Pre- gress In countaes--Uss of
 Funds Interesting. 

Some very eloquent statistics per- taining to the public schools of Ala bama have been compiled by Chief Clerk W. F. Feagin of the State De- partment of Education and were issued yesterday in q neat pamphlet entitled .'EducationaI Directory of Alabama
 Certain aggregate and average ng- ures are given auth oritatively for the first time which show wonderful ad- vances by the public schools Of this State. Within the last year. or from March 3. 1907. to March 2, 1908. there have been repaired and erected in Alabama 22s school houses. For this purpose the State, by a separate ap- propriation of the last Legislature. has set aside annually s1,o0o for each County.
 For the year ending last March 2. the counties had not availed them- selves of all that was placed to their credit The law provides that In any school district sz00 a year may be ob- tained. provided that this much or more is raised by subscriptions of cit- izens. This s2o0 is the maximum. Any amount less than this raised locally will be met by the State appropriation and the remainder will be credited to the County.
 Although under this act donating $67,000 annually for repairing and erecIng rural school houses the State has been called upon for only s47,500, there has been spent locally In order to secure this aid a total of $14O.O00. Thus the new donation of the State during its first year of operation has acted as very great stimulus to bet ter and build country school houses.
 The Educational Directory further shows that during the present school year a total of about e2,244.5oTe7 is available for public school expendit- ures. This amount is divided as fol- lows: General Educational fund. $l,- 534.50zs7: poll tax festimated), $100.. 900; one mill tax Gin forty-one coun- ties). $210.0oo, and supplements in cit- ies and towns (estimated), $400.oo0.
 The county superintendents of edu- cation this year are wreathed in smiles for this statistical reason: Their average salary during the cur rent year will be s1,007.72 as compared with $777.s7 for the year previous.
 The total number of white children of school age in Alabama is 37S.47S The total number of negro children of school age is 3f5.35s. making . total of 702.8S4 children of both races of school age in this State.
 To demonstrate the importance of the rural schools to the educational system of Alabama, attention is called to the fact that there are In the rural districts today. els.04l children of
