GOOD WORK
FOR SICK WOMEN
The Woman's Medicine Has
Proved It's Worth.

When Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies
were first introduced, their curative
powers were doubted and had to be
proved. But the proof came, and grad
ually the use of them spread over the
whole country. Now that hundreds Of
thousands of women have experienced
the most beneficial effects from the use
of these medicines, their value has be-
come generally recognized, and Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is
the standard medicine for women.
The following letter is only one of
the thousands on file in the Pinkham
Office, at Lynn, Mass, proving that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is an article of great merit as
shown by the results it produces.
Anamosa, Iowa. when I began tax
ing Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound 1 suffered with a displacement,
and my system was in a general run
down condition. Iwould have the head
ache for a week and my back would
ache 50 bad when would bend down 1
could hardly straighten up. My sister
was sick in bed for two months and
doctored, but did not get any relief.
She saw an advertisement Of your med
cine and tried it and got better. She
ted me what it had done for her, and
when / had taken only two bottles Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound my head began to feel better. l
continued its use and now I don't nave
any of those troubles. - Mrs. /. J.

 toulouse Campaign

One of the five teams of canvassers sent out over the United States by the American Radiator company from the Chicago office is now in Birming- ham making a house-to- house canvass in the interest of steam heating de- vices for the home. The purpose of tho canvass is to train salesmen and to demonstrate the heating devices.
 Personal canvassing pays our com pany and will pay any other company" said Albert Gardner of the Birmingham squad. "The American Radiator com pany tried the plan a number of years ago, and needless to say they have reaped bountiful rewards" Robert Jem- ison of the Jemison Real Estate and In surance company was so impressed with the idea that he invited MT. Gardner to speak to his men Monday morning More than 30 employees of MT. Jemison heard how the American Radiator com pany made this system pay, and the plan will probably be adopted by MT. Jemison in the real estate business.
 Birmihgh Is the home of one of the largest manufacturing plants of this company, which is located in North Birinin gham, and manufactures radia- tors and boilers. A branch office is located in the American Trust and Saw ings Bank building.

PROJECT TOO BIC FOR COMMISSIONERS ID GRASP AT ONCE Barber Says Auditorium Cannot Be Forced on Him.
 Weatherly Wants
 More Time

VIII the Roden hotel property, if lea sed by the city and converted into a com bined city hall and auditorium, have suf- ficient room left for a public market?
 Will sufficient space be allotted for a city jail?
 Could the auditorium be used as a municipal roller skating rink?
 The above questions and lot of others of a similar nature are occupying the minds of some of the city commission CTS before they enter further into ne- gotiations with the Roden heirs for the leasing of the property at Seventeenth street and Fifth avenue, north.
 T am neither pro-Roden nor anti Roden," said Commissioner Barber yes- terday "and neither The Age-Herald nor Chamber of Commerce can force me to act until have made up my mrnd.'' In the meanwhile it is understood that II. Key Miner, chairman of the audi torium committee of the Chamber of Commerce, is going ahead having an architect draw tentative plans and sketches of the proposed transformation of the Roden steel frame into an artistic structure which will combined city hall and auditorium that will seat at least 5000 persons. The plans and sketches will be ready for publication in about two weeks, it was stated yesterday. Commissioner Weatherly admitted yes terday afternoon that the Roden hotel project was something stupendous and that he did not propose to be hurried in his deliberations on the matter. Ut is something big, this converting that steel frame into city hall and auditorium" he said. We must not hurry. We must be sure of our ground Personally I am in an open frame of mind on the matter.
 But I would like to know this. Will those who are making plans to sell the RoGen property or lease it to us also plan to rent the present city hall prof. itably for the city? Will there be enough room in the Roden when completed for a spacious library, jail, fire headquar- ters and a public market? These are serious questions and should receive con- sideration
