We are so positive that our remedy will permanently relieve constipation, no matter how chronic it may be, that we offer to furnish the medicine at our expense should it fail to pro- duce satisfactory results.
 It is worse than useless to attempt 10 cure constipation with cathartic drugs. LaXatives or cathartics do much harm. They cause a reaction. irritate and weaken the bowels and tend t0 make constipation more chronic. Besides, their use becomes a habit that is dangerous.
 Constipation is caused by a weak ness of the nerves and muscles of the large intestine or descending colon. To expect permanent relief you must therefore tone up and strengthen these organs and restore them to healthier activity.
 We want you to try Rexall Order lies on our recommendation. They are exceedingly pleasant to take, be- ing eaten like dandy, and are ideal for children, delicate persons. and old folks, as well as for the robust. They act directly on the nerves and muscles of the bowels. They appar- ently have a neutral action on other associate organs or glands. They do not purge, cause excessive looseness, nor create any inconvenience what ever. They may be taken at any time, day or night. They will pos itively relieve chronic or habitual constipation, if not of surgical variety, and the myriads of associate or de- pendent chronic ailments, if taken with regularity for a reasonable length of time. l2 tablets, 10 cents: 36 tablets, p cents; 80 tablets 50 cents.

Some Road Information.

Even with high power automo- bile that could keep up pace of 90 niles day indefinite ii would take a man more than G years 10 cover all the public roads in the United states. X young nan of twenty starting out to accomplish this tremendous task would be Sj before he had covered the last mile of public highway in this country.
 After an investigation extending over many months, Logan Walter Page, Director of the Ot1ice of Public Roads, las ascertained that there are now 2,l99,645 miles of public roads in the United States. The figures in- clude all the new roads built up to the year 1909. In 1901 there were exactly 2,15l,379 It is apparent. therefore, that the increased mileage of new roads within a period of about five years has been IS, 266. "The investigation just concluded" Y, said Director Page, in an interview shows conclusively that the move ment for the improvement of public highways has obtained a firm grip on the country. The percentage of roads which were really improved, amount ed to 7.l4 in 1904, while in 1909, to which year statiStioS are now avail able, the percentage was S.66.
 !" It is interesting to observe the growth in road construction. For in stance, the total mileage of stone roads in 1904 was 36,SlS, while in 1908 it was 59, 237. The total mileage of gravel roads in 1904 was l09, 905, while in 1909 it was only log, ,S70. This de crease in gravel roads, however, was due to a reclassification of roads. Many of those reported in 1904 to be of gravel proved to be of some other substance, while congregations were eliminated.
 The total mileage of sand-clay, brick, bituminous macadam and other improved roads in 1904 was .sO6, while in 1909 the mileage reach 2s.S72
 The Ohice of Public Roads has just issued table showing the states hay ing the largest mileage of improved roads:

At the Majestic

This weeks vaudeville bill at the Majestic contains no star acts" ev- eryone of the five acts presenting about the same amount of mediocrity and re- ceiVng about the same amount of ap- preciation from the critical Monday evening audience. The first act was that of the Lester Brothers They both were made up as clowns and while their comedy left much to be desired their acrobatic stunts were all that could be wished for in that line.
 The Tyrolean yodling couple, namely, Rudolph and Lena, were quite good, but as they sang In German their sue cess was not as marked as it would have been if in English. Their voices blended well and the act was an effort toward a higher plane of singing acts.
 George Stanley. the ante bellum dar- key, presented for 15 minutes very clever impersonation of an old-time darkey and his singing of My old Kentucky Home" was a 9eritorious ef- fort Seldom's Living Marble was an act in which three male models posed the various scuptural masterpieces of the world.
 The bill closed with a farcical sketch entitled Maid Mary" presented by Miss sydney Shields and company. The moving pictures presented the adven- lures of Little Red Riding Hood," and were very good.

 That brave and sweet-souled south ern woman, the late Mrs. Roger A. Pryor, used to relate many anecdotes of the straits to which she was driven in war times to provide the necessaries of life for her family. Prices. in the depreciated Confederate currency. often reached amazing figures. In Peters burg she had 10 pay q neighbor a dol lar day for the meager dish of veg etables required by a wounded officer In her household; she paid s20 a pound for butter and bacon; s15 for beef and $50 for one chicken, or pair of small shad, ordinarily worth 15 cents,
 Governor Mann or Virginia, who was also in Petersburg during the siege. has recently said that he once paid $40 for n breakfast. Articles other than food brought prices quite as extror- once during the height of the bombnrdment he came upon a street corner auction at which the furniture from a partly ruined house was being offered for sale. Among the pieces dis played was an old-fashioned wardrobe, bids for which had reached the sum ot $999.
 The auctloneer. receiving no higher bid for the wardrobe, cried Nine hun dred and nine nine--oncei Nine hundred and ninety -nine--twlce! and was about to knock down the furniture for that sum when suddenly a Yankee shell crashed down on the old wardrobe and smashed 1t to smithereens.

ENGINEERS GATHER
 TO ATTEND CONGRESS
Every Civilized European Country Delegates Most Competent En-
 gineers to Attend

New York, September 2.-Three hun dred distinguished engineers of for eign lands arrived on belated Atlantic liners today for the opening tomorrow of the international congress for test ing materials. The arrivals included large delegations representing the gov ernments of Great Britain. Germany, France, Russia, Belgium, Spain and 20 other countries.
 Every civilized country of Europe has delegated it's most capable engineers to attend the congress. With some of these countries this Is a matter of self protection, as it Is expected that ini- portant developments affecting the strength of materials such as enter the construction of battleships and big guns will become public.
 Among the foreign government off, cials there are a number of digni- taries. Russia sends prince of the blood in Andrew GaSarin. Great Britain is represented by knights in Sir Hugh Bell and Sir Robert A. Hadfield Ger many sends Baron Pvon Eltz, head of the construction department of the German empire and privy counsellor Monch of the imperial marine depart ment.
 President Taft, patron of the con- gress, is unable to be present and has delegated General William II. Bixby, chief of engineers of the United States army, to represent him here
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-09-03

weeks excellent bill was presented last night twice and twice at the matinees yesterday The record for attendance was scored at the first performance last night, and more than 5000 saw the four performances of the day.
 The bill this week can be termed triumph without exaggeration, for every act registered bulls eye from rurtain to curtain As the opener Ernie and Ernie presented distinct novelty, for MT Ernie is monopede. His stunts in balancing, dancing, kicking and other feats would do credit to d two legged man. Louis Lon don is novelty. He appears in several different costume effects, making up for each on the stage in view of the audience. Every one of his songs was a new one, including the big seasons hit. Robert E. Lee" Blake and Amber lived up to their billing of sowing smile seed and reaping harvest of laughter" 1t would be diff fcult to describe their act, further than to say that 1t Is a whirlwind of comedy and music. Novelty Is the essential fea- ture of the act of Clinton and Nolan, and it scored a home run as good as Jimmie Johnston's in the afternoon. They show side tent in Coney Island, and Nolan is engaged to be the negro eA NlOSe neHu the cfOWu liTOWS pdSebdllS. The crowds at the Orpheum enjoyed the sport, for balls were passed amongst the audience and those who wished were al- lowed to take throw and try to win cigar. There is music and comedy also in the act, and 1t differs entirely from tho ordinary black face
 The crowning number of the bill is Trovollo, the wonderful ventriloquist, who has a large production, many figures to assist him and quantity of unique stage effects. He is probably the pest ventriloquist that Birmingham has ever seen. Not only does he seem able to throw his voice in any direction, but he has. such complete control of 1t that he can change from the voice of a few months old baby to that of an old man without seeming effort. As whole the bill is probably the best in many weeks. being we'll balanced and thoroughly en- ioyable. No act escaped without several encores and extra time on the stage.
 The motion pictures, as usual are ex- cellent; the house was well ventilated and cool, and every convenience was pro- vided. There are matinees daily at 2:30 and two performances nightly at 7:9o and 9 o'clock

THREATEN LIFE

New York. September 2.-The large force of armed guards which has been stationed around the John D. Rocke- feller estate at Pocantico Hills near Tarrytown. for the last two weeks was established because of death threats re- celved by Mr. Rockefeller himself ani members of his family, according to the World today.
 There have been numerous disorders among foreigners employed on the es- tate but it Is said that this is not the main reason for the precautions which Mir Rockefeller has taken. Eigh- teen negroes, deputy sheriffs and squad of detectives. all armed consti- tute the guard. According to the World, MT Rock efeller and his son have re- ceived a number of letters threatening both their lives and property and de- manding heavy ransom. Threats to kidnap John D. Rockefeller Jr's two young children. who are i'll with meas les at a nursery on the estate, have also been made. it is said.
