Is no possible doubt of what did it. A
Mich. woman gives her experience:

which relieved me only for a little
while. Then every once in a while I
would be suddenly doubled up with
an awful agony in my stomach. 1t

suffer any more and live.

Value of Cheerfulness.

Cheerfulness is one of the most val
liable assets that a girl can possess.
For it will. make friends, will hold
them, and, best of all, II will Inspire
the individual with courage during diff.
ficult experiences that she might fail
In did she not buoy herself up with
an outward pretense Of happiness.
The cheerful girl is distinct addition
In any group. She need not be witty.
nor constantly talking. If she. has Sc.
renity and happiness In her disposi.
ton, for she gives it out as uncou.
sciously as the sun sheds its rays, and
1t Is sufficient In point of.fact. peo.
pie are like plants. they turn to the
light OF happiness and from the shad.

To tell the truth. no persons life is
entirely free from perplexities of
some kind Everyone has his own
troubles; and to forget them is Q
component part of happiness Each
individual has far TOO many woes to
wish to hear those OF others. N we
did not have trouble we should not
have happiness; If life were all one
round Of pleasure, then we should
know nothing Of the real meaning OF
happiness II would be as dun ss a

 One of the most interesting publications in America Is the Star of Hope, pub lished by the convicts of Sing Sing pris- on. The names of the editorial staff ap- pear as their prison numbers.
 Recently the press agent of a Broad way show sent out a letter asking for the insertion in the Star of Hope of favor able notice of his play and offering in return two seats for the performance"
 The letter was addressed to the "Dram- atic Editor" of the Star of Hope. It was referred to No. 57t355, the editor-in chief of the prison publication, who inserted the following in his paper:
 Owing to circumstances over which he has no control, the editorin-chief, who Is at present acting as dramatic ed- itor-very dramatic sometimes-will be unable to attend the performance in ques- tion, unless it has a phenomenaly long run. which seems scarcely likely.
 If any one of our regular readers would like to act as dramatic editor, he may send in his application for the posi- tion to the editor-in-chief, and it will be considered and conclusion reached -some day."

To the Public

I present herewith to the citizens of Birmingham an itemized statement com piled by the city auditor. showing the necessity for bond issue of s40O,O00 due to the inherited conditions growing out of the annexation of outlying municipali- ties.
 In addition to the amount presented in this statement it will require from S25 900 to $30o0O for the purchase of sites and equipment to take care of the night soil, the erection of stables and pound pens and the purchase of additional street equipment
 The necessity of this bond issue is ap- parent for if the people to whom this matter Is referred next monday should fail to authorize the issuance of $4000OO of bonds the credit of the city would be impaired in that we would be compelled to go on scrip basis to meet running ex- penses of the city government. FRANK P. O'BRIEN, Mayor Birmingham, Ala, April 5, 1910. .Ion Frank P. Brien, Mayor, City. Dear Sir. As per your request I have the honor to outline below the purpose of the contemplated Annexation Bonds issue to be decided by popular election to be held on April il, next: The outstanding notes of the nine muni- ralities which were consolidated with Bir- nincha on January 1, 1910, aggregate t242. 300.
 Accrued interest same by the time the bond issue could be realized upon will exceed s16,0Oo.
 Open accounts against the said munich palities aggregate S5o00
 Overdrafts in general funds to be placed in special funds $740O Interest on general bonds of said muni- cipalities payable between January 1 and July 1, 1910 aggregates s32.015. Amount necessary, in addition to the special funds for that purpose, to re- |deem special assessment bonds, which ma ture within the next two or three years t10, ,0O0.
 Additional expense of entire city gov ernment, including education, by virtue of annexation of the said municipalities will. conservatively estimated, for the period January 1-July l, 1910, exceed 5N60,0O0. st.ttf 1 lTotai. s5os. .s15.
 From this amount is to be deducted: Cash turned oyer by the said municipal ities applicable to above items, $5l, 333. Uncollected general revenue of said municipalities on date of annexation ap- proximately $25,00o. | Additional revenue, by virtue of an- nexati6n of the said municipalities, for

 mated), $50 000-- -s136, 333.
