restoration to health means so much

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing woman's ills such as inflamma-
ton, liberation, fibroid tumors, irreg-
ularities, periodic pains and nervous
prOstratiOn, and it is unequalled for
carrying women safely through the
period of change of life.
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass,
invites all sick women to write
her for advice. Her advice is free,
and always helpful

THE COUNCIL
GETS DOWN
To BUSINESS
REFUSES TO TRADE WITH
SPAULDING co. AND MAKES JAIL
A TERROR TO TRAMPS BY OR.
DERING SHOWER BATHS.

Hot words . and warm measures
were the rule at the city council last
evening Several matters which
have been simmering for the past
few weeks came to a boil and it
looked for time as if some one
would get scalded. Mayor Lach-
mund sent one bill back with an en-
phatic veto, and another bill con-
cerning the vacation of certain city
streets in favor of the Spaulding
Logging company was reconsidered
and laid on the table indefinitely.
Alderman Huckestein brought up a
bill to improve conditions at the city
Jail and was reprimanded by the
mayor for butting in on the work Of
other committees.
Things went along smoothly for a
time. $2,010.40 was ordered paid for
the work on Twelfth street bridge.
A. Burns was paid the balance of
$2,074S1 for the completion of his
North Salem sewer work, several ad-
ditional sewer specifications were
considered and then the fun started.
An Unequal Trade.
Councilman Durbin moved the re-
consideration of the resolution for
the city to vacate Water street south
of Court, Ferry street, west of Front
and the alleys in blocks Ga and 65,
all of which property the resolution
proposed the city should trade for
certain water frontage owned by the
Spaulding Logging compny. In sup
port of this motion Mr.. Durbin said,
Gentlemen, / asked last week for
few days to investigate this matter
and l wish to state that 1 have thor
oughly done so. l have gone over
the ground and find that we would
be trading 129,354 square feet of de-
Sirable streets for only 5000 square
feet of water front. 1 do not wish to
work a hardship on the Spaulding
people but l do believe that such a
change would be vicious and entire
ly bad. We already have considera-
BILE water frontage that extends
north from the end of the bridge.
This is even a more desirable sight
for a city dock than the place under
discussion. l also find that the city
has no legal right to bargain, sell or
convey this property, or any other
of the city streets. OF course these
streets are, at the present being
used only by the Spaulding people,
but who knows how badly the city
may need them in the future as we
gradully develop and grow. 1t is
not improbable that the city may
wish to build bridges across the
river at the foot of these streets, as
1 am informed by the city attorney
that some of them run to the river"
Must Vacate Streets.
Against such a speech as this the
mayors feeble protest had little
weight, and when Durbin's senti-
ments had been expressed over again
by some of the other councilmen, the

KENTUCKY
MAY TAX S. P.
STEAM SHIPS
UNITED PRESS LEASED wmr.l

Washington, Nov. 13.-Although
the Southern Pacific railroad has nev-
er approached the borders of Ken
lucky, that state may tax the com
pany's ocean steamers, according to
a decision of the United States SUI
preme court.
The state contended that, as the
Southern Pacific was organized un-
der the Kentucky laws, and the cor
poratlon's main Office is nominally To-
Gated in Kentucky, 1t had the right
to tax all Southern Pacific ships, no
matter where they ply.
The United States supreme court
affirmed the decision of the Kentucky
court of appeals.

PULLMAN HAS HOPES
 FOR NEW COURT

Cullman, March 13--(SpeciaD .-Notwith- standing the fact that the bill introduc- ed by Representative Griffith, in the legislature, seeking to create a law and equity court for Cullman county has re- ceived an adverse report at the hands of the revision of laws committee in the upper house of the legislature, it Is con ceded that the bill yet has good chance of becoming a law. MT. Griffith came home from Montgomery Sunday and gave the information to his. friends that he was hopeful that he would be able to mak clear to the minds of the sena- tors the importance of the measure and just what it means in this county to establish this court. This is undoubtedly one of the most needed pieces of local legislation that could be gotten through the legislature and is so conceded by many conservative business men, and 1t is hoped that the bill may be taken from the adverse calendar and passed.
 There is some opposition to the pas sage of the bill, but the sentiment with the country people has undergone a com plete change within the past few days, and those who were against the measure are now up in arms for it's passage, and the bill is meeting its hardest opposition at the hands of those who are directly affected by it's passage and not by majority of the people of the county.

Any Complexion Can
 Be Made Beautiful
.CErom Styles of Today)

Mime. Merou of Paris. perhaps the worlds greatest authority on beauty and dress, says that now no woman need despair of possessing clear complexion and satiny skin.
 .Even a plain woman says the fla nous Merou, "attains a complexion which is the envy of her friends when she dissolves a small original package of mayatone in eight ounces or witch hazel, and messages her face, arms and neck with this solution daily. You soon notice a lovely clearness which is sweetly enchanting.
 .Mayatone leaves no trace of grease or stickiness. It purifies, beautlfies and preserves the complexion as noth- ing else can and prevents the growth of superfluous hairs.
 You never use powder or cosmetic when once you know mayatone. Make the solution yourself. Your druggist can easily supply the ingredients, or he can easily send to any wholesale druggist for you, if he desires to be accommodating"
