 The first thing to do is to look to the welfare of your bowels. There the trou- ble usually lies. All physicians know that . large percentage of women are habitually constipated. and from this re- that women constantly complain Of But there is no use taking female rem sdies' and things of that kind until you ave started your bowels to moving. regularly once or twice day all your petty ills will disappear. Take a good mild laxative tonic like Dr. Caldwell s syrup Pepsin for awhile and you will stronger. your bowels will regulate them selves and work at stated times. and then your headaches and dizziness will disappear. Don't take strong cathartic pleasant-tasting remedy as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
 You can obtain a bottle of your drug gist for fifty cents or one dollar. and nently cure you. Thousands of women keep 1t regularly in the house and will no longer be without 1t, as 1t cured them and can be used with safety by every member of the family, down to the youngest child. but if you have never used 1t take the advice of Mrs. Earl s. Cox. 409 Twenty-ffth street. Moline. Ill :, and Mrs. Ellen Dungan, Muncie, Ind, and send to Dr. Caldwell for free trial bot tie. as they did. and learn for yourself what 1t will do in your own case. That 1t will cure you. as 1t did them. there is no doubt
 pr. Caldwell personally will be pleased to give you any medical advice you may desire for yourself or family pertaining to free of charge.

HOLIDAY TRAVEL WAS ENORMOUS
 
TRAINS ENTERING AND LEAVING
 BIRMINGHAM HAVE ALL BEEN
 HANDLING EXTRA SECTIONS AND
 EXTRA COACHES .s

It is doubtful whether ever before .n Birmingham has passenger traffic on the railroads been so heavy as during the past two days and last night. The com- ns nies have simply been swamped with travellers and they have experienced no .1,tt1e difficulty in handling the enormous crowds.
 As a result of this splendid business the railroad employees will today spend a happy Christmas, at the same tune no cessation from their usual labors will result. The trains will run, the engineers will take their risks just the same.
 The Louisville and Nashville fast trains have been operating in two and three sections and this applied both north and scuth. The travel on the Louisville and Nashville this season is said to have eclipsed any holiday travel in many years. The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic seldom uses more than two or three coaches in handling it's travel. But dur ing the past two days and last night all the trains of it's double service have been hauling extra cars to accommodate the vast number of people from east Ala bama who came here and spent Christ mas eve shopping and minglng with the roystering holiday crowd. This line has reason to feel very joyous this morning.
 The travel at the Terminal station has taxed the capacity to adequately accom- n1odate the rushing throng of travellers. The Queen and Crescent trains, which number ten daily, have been carrying in every instance three extra coaches, while in many instances on their limited trains the travel has been so heavy that two and three sections have been in order.
 The Frisco has been operating two sec lions on it's fast trains for two days, while every local train has been resem- bling a limited. The Seaboard, Southern, Illinois Central, Central of Georgia and in fact every line entering this city has been performing phenomenal feats in carrying the thousands that have either come here or left here for the holidays.
 In all the great throngs that have been handled on the trains no accidents to renorted. The fact that 80 many extra trains have been run with no accidents reflects well upon the railroad men of this section.
 However, yesterday the train were in most instances late, and the schedules torn up considerably. These will be strengthened out today, possibly, after which everything will be normal until the travellers return or go home from visits here. Then the rush will begin again.

Lyman, cashier; William T. Latham, as- sistant cashier; Henry Chisholm, receiv- ing teller.
