A CURE FOR
NEURALGIA
Remarkable Recovery at Lisbon
Proves Its Power in This
Painful Disease.

Neuralgia is inflammation of a nerve
This inflammation is sometimes caused
by exposure to cold, sometimes by the
nerve irritation arising from decavetl
tooth. Of all causes, however, a general
debility of the system is by far the most
frequent. The most eminent nerve
specialists and the greatest medical
writers agree on this point.
Lack of blood is almost always associ.
atcd with neuralgia. Build up the blood,
the impoverished nerves are fed and the
neuralgia pains disappear. Absolute
rest is the best aid to proper medical
treatment
The cure of Mrs r. G. Carter, of No.
& High street, Lisbon, n. H.. by the use
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills should lead
other sufferers from neuralgia to try this
remedy. Mrs Carter says:
Following some trouble with my
teeth was afflicted with neuralgia in
the head. The pains were terrible and
sometimes caused me to faint l alro had
dreadful headaches. / was confined to
bed as often AS two or three days n
week. For two years I had no relief
from M suffering ard lost so much in
weight that my friends thought would

"The doctor treated me for neuralgia
and said my blood would have to be
built up, After getting no help for two
years | began using DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and took them regularly felt
BITTER after giving the pills trial and
continued with them until l was free

turn of the trouble and, as l consider
my cure due to DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
l recommend them to anyone who needs
blood or nerve tonic"
If you are i'll ard the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for
proof of what DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have done in similar cases. Their merit
has made them the most widely used
family medicine in the world today.

FARM COLONIES
FOR TRAMPS.
\ Plan to Wipe Out VaEabOndnGc-
Bill Provides for Utilizing Tramp
Colony Idea.
(From the Review Of Reviews,)

(From the Review Of Reviews.)
1t is conservatively estimated that
there is an army OF at least 100000
tramps in the United States. This figure
is calculated by taking as a basis the
number Of tramps killed on the railroads
every year and multiplyng it by the
proportion of trainmen killed in the year
compared to the total number of train
men employed. But It is entirely proba-
BILE that the number at present reaches
nearer 100000 than 500 00.
A large proportion are youths ranging
from sixteen to twenty-one years Of age.
Beginning with yearnlng for advcn-
ture, about one-half quit the nomadic
life and return home or settle down,
while the remaining half become invet-
crate tramps and gradually tend from
vagrancy into a career OF crime or semi
crime. A very large percentage of
tramps. however are adults and COM
prise every species, from men who will
not work or have become chrunically
untitled for work to those who are in
nocent victims of downright adversely.
Tho charitable societies and the rail
roads believe that they have at last
come upon plan which is quite certain
to prove ef1lcacious: This plan is a trans
planting, with certain notifications suit
able to American conditions. of the
tramp colony idea already in force in

BIJOU TO REMAIN
 OPEN ALL SUMMER
WELLS ANNOUNCES THAT THE BALDWlN-MELVlLLE COMPANY HAS BEEN SECURED TO PRE- SENT HlGH-cLAsS PRODUCTIONS

Manager Martin L. Semon of the Bijou theatre received a long-distance telephone message yesterday from Jake Wells. an- nouncing that MT. Wells had just closed contract which will result in giving the theatre-goers of Birmingham high class dramatic entertainment during the coming summer months at the Bijou.
 The summer season at the Bijou will begin May 10 and will continue through the summer months, with the usual weekly matinees on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The present season will close on the Saturday before May 10. so that there will be no break in the per- formances. MT. Wells has made arrange ments for the popular Baldwin Melville company to play this summer at the Bijou. This organization spent last sum- mer at the Bijou and will be pleasantly remembered by local theatregoers. Last summers season at the Bijou was a great success, not only from an artistic point of view but from a financial point of view as we'll. The plays presented were all handsomely staged, with special costumes and scenery, and the members
 
 themselves to be versatile actors.
 Last summers offerings at the Biiou were in the nature of an experiment. and the generous patronage accorded the plays determined MT Wells to attempt a sea- son this year which will be mora preten- tious than the Bijou has yet had. Royalty plays will be produced from week to week, with complete scenic effects and costumes for each play. Scene painters will be kept at work at the Bijou paint ing new scenery and costumes will be- procured from the leading costumers. By royalty plays is meant those which are reigning successes and are not within reach of the average stock company. Through his theatrical connections MT. Wells will be able to offer plays to Bir- mingham theatre-goers at popular prices which have recently been the talk of Broadway.
 Each of these plays will have a pro- duction that is new and complete in every particular. The scenery last summer at the Bijou was greatly admired for its, ar- tistic effect and the same high standard will be maintained this year. In a short while some of the plays to be offered will be announced.
 MT. Wells will arrive in Birmingham tomorrow to consult with Manager Semon of the Bijou.

THE WELL KNOWN JUDGE HAS A SEVERE FALL AT HIS HOME. JUDGE ALSTON WILL BE ON THE BENCH TOMORROW.

Circuit Judge A. A. Coleman is con- fined at the Davis infirmary as the re- suit of a quite serious fall which he had at his home, 222S Arlington avenue, Friday night. Judge Coleman is suffer ing considerably from a broken arm and from bodily bruises. His condition was reported last night to be as favorable as could be expected under the circum- stances.
 Shortly after dark Friday evening JAdge Coleman went out on his front porch to get the afternoon paper. While out In the dark he stepped off of the front steps. falling upon his right arm. The arm was broken in two places, and the judges face and chest were somewhat badly bruised. One of his eyes was closed from swelling.

 It Is probable that Judge Coleman will be unable to attend court for at least a week or ten days, and 1t was an- nounced last night that Judge A. H. Aston of Clayton, supernumerary judge for the state, will hold court in the first division of the circuit court for one week, beginning tomorrow.
