Juice and start taking it: others
asked for samples in order that they
might test the medicine: still others
desired a full explanation of this
surprising remedy.
Stomach trouble" said the Plant
Juice Man, sis the bane of the ex-
istence of millions of Americans.
Average Americans-men and women
both-live fast, hurried lives. They
overwOrk, overeat, eat too hurriedly,
are always under a nerve tension
and sooner or later they find them
selves suffering from bad stomach
trouble.\ They can't digest their
food right. have no appetite for
their meals, suffer from sour stom-
ach, heartburn and terrible pain
from gas in the stomach and bowels,
lose strength and weight, become sal
low looking and often feel nervous,
weak and downright miserable.
''lt is for such people that my
remedy is intended. Plant Juice in
creases the appetite. invigorates the
digestion and cleanSes the bowels
and intestines of the foul, painful
gases and waste matter. And, at
the same time, Plant Juice acts
upon the system in general, having
beneficial effect upon the liver and
kidneys and being helpful for the re-
lief Of the terrible aches and pains Of
rhumatism and catarrhal affections
Of the mucous membranes and. still
further, Plant Juice acts as a tonic
and strengthened. In short, Plant
Juice has an effect upon the system
in general, but has an especially
beneficial effect upon the stomach.
and great many men and women
who have taken my medicine have
declared afterward that Plant Juice
gave them greater strength and bet
ter health than they had known for
years"
Give your rundown body a chance
Help it so that you may know. once
again, the feelings of health. normal
yigOr, good digestion-be free from
pain and misery. Plant Juice has
proved beneficial in more than a
million cases.

OF this remedy. Free samples given.

4CAT AND CANARY"
 RETURNS TO THE JEFFERSON JAN. 19

The next important attraction at the Jefferson theatre will be John Willards sensational thriller, The Cat and the Canary" which is an- nounced for special return en- gagement January 1920. In bringing this stirring play back to Birming ham the management of the Jeffer- son made it possible for local play goers to see and enjoy the one great reignng success of the American dramatic stage The Cat and the Canary" is a mystery play, with thrills, chlls and laughs--a play that will start the gooseflesh growing but which also will send you away from the theatre in high spirits. Nothing like this play has ever been produced on the American stage and its sensational success in New York and Chicago, not to mention London and Australia, gives a fair indication of it's worth as dramatic entertain- ment.
 Frankly a mystery play, it is inn possible to attend performance and not talk about it afterwards, and the solution of the mystery is so baffling that not one person in a thousand can fathom the mystery until the arch criminal is exposed in the final moments of the play
 Produced by kilbourn Gordon Inc, the play comes to the Jefferson with the New York production and a cast Of carefully selected Broadway ar- lists. It is hair-raising melodrama of the first order, with generous laugh for every thrill.

DEMONSTRATION GIVEN FIRST WOMAN MEMBER OF STATE LEGISLATURE.
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD Montgomery, Ala, Jan. ID

First mention of the name of Mrs. Joseph G. Wilkins 1n the house of representative started a demonstra- tion in honor of the first woman who ever sat as a member of the leg islature of Alabama. The demon = stration came while the members or the new house were being enrolled Mrs. Wilkins bowed in acknowledge ment of the cheers which came from mere men members and from the crowds in the galleries.
 Mrs. Wilkins was the recipient ot much attention as she entered the house. On her desk was basket of roses which had been presented to her by admiring friends.
 The demonstrati tion brought back to members of the house the thought of other memorable days when suf7 fragettes crowded the galleries ana corridors of the capital in an effort to obtain the ratification of the womans suffrage amendment by the Alabama legislature. Tbey failed, but their dreams came true when the necessary number of states ratified and inserted woman's suffrage right in the constitution of the nation.
 After this ratification Mrs. Will kins became candidate for repre- sentative for Dallas county and won the democratic nomination in the contest with several men.
 Fitzpatrick Eonored
 Another demonstration was staged in the house in honor of Capt. Elm nett Fitzpatrick, who spent many days in the dungeons and prisons mainta ined by the guard of Russia after the establishment of soviet rule.
 Captain Fitzpatrick was held behind prison bars and tried time after time on various charges. He was sentenced to death several times, but the soviet rulers never gained enough courage to carry out the death sen tence. His imprisonment caused the United States department of state to protest and bring pressure on the Russian authorities for the liberaT tion of the Alabamian. He was re- leased when portion of soviet Rus sia became famished and the Amer iean people declined to send food into the stricken country until Captain Fitzpatrick had been released. Cap tain Fitzpatrick was elected a member of the house from Perry county with out opposition, defeating MT. Alex ander, who represented the county Tn

MEMBERS OF T COMMITTEES IN SENATE SELECTED.
Senator Brewer Wins Fight to Have Larger Counties Rep resented on Finance and
 Taxation Committee
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU ]
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Montgomery. Ala, Jan. 10 ]

Twenty seven committees were created by the senate Wednesday. The desires of Lieutenant Governor elect Charles S Mcdowell regarding the personnel of the committees were ' acceptable to the senate. Mcdowell although not q member of the senate and in no official connection at this time. sent his nominations to the senate and they were confirmed. Mir McDowell will become lieutenant governor and presiding officer of the senate Monday and it has been a cus- tom for several years to permit the incoming lieutenant governor to name the committees.
 The nomination for the committee on finance and taxation did not meet the approval of the senators from Jefferson, Chiffon and Montgomery counties because no member from either of the counties was placed on the committee. Senator Walter 5. Brewer of Jefferson, made an open fight against the nominations on this committee, eentending that as Jeff ferson pays enough taxes to support many ether counties 1t should haze representation on this important committee. Senator Teasley of Mont gomery, and Adams of Chiffon. ;. agreed and on the confirmation of MT. MeDewell's committee selection the three cast negative votes.
 Amendment Passes
 But later in the session Senator Adams offered resolution increasing the finance and taxation committee by three and then naming Sen ator Brewer of Jefferson, Teasley of Montgomery and Craft Of Mobile on the committee. This resolution was adopted by a vote of 25 to g. Presi- dent Protempore J. B. Ellis was made chairman of the committee and with the addition of the three members by the senate the membership will con sist ef the following; Ellis, Foster, Garth, Martain, Brooks. Inzer, OIL
