been obeyed.”
Following these remarks Chief Bo

Police Sergeant Shirley was in charge
of the squad of men.
The news that the district was about
to be closed attracted large numbers

At 12:15 o’clock, every house in the
district had been closed and the streets
were deserted with the exception of
the taxicabs and hacks. Seeing that
the chauffeurs were lingering behind
Chief Bodeker ordered all the automo
biles and vehicles of any description re
moved from the area .and in another 15
minutes there was no one^to be seen
on the streets besides the police officers.
After riding about for 30 minutes
longer and keeping his officers con
stantly on the move, Chief Bodeker
announced that the restricted district
was now officially (dosed and all that
remained Was for the officers to see
that thp law is enforced.
** "They may give us a little trouble
for a few days," said Chief Bodeker,
"but I do not anticipate much difficulty
in enforcing the law. The restricted
district is gone and it will remain so
until 1 receive orders to the contrary
from my superiors."
During all the excitement of the po
lice closing up the district there rwas
one arrest made. This was of a hack
man who argued with an officer.

KID BRANNEN
WILL RETIRE
Will Enter Chamber of Com
merce-Work for Life
Profession
LaGrange, Ga., September 80.—(Special.)
Letters received here yesterday by
friends of “Kid” Brannen, manager the
past season for the LaGrange Ball club,
announce that he is In Athens, Ga.,
studying modern methods in chamber of
commerce work, and will take up active
ly the work of chamber of commerce sec
retary shortly after January 1. This
probably means his retirement from base
ball for good.
He made a remarkable record as man
ager of the LaGrange team the past sea
son and by many It was supposed that he
would be in charge again this year of the
LaGrange club, but his decision to take
up chamber of commerce work as a life
profession has very likely closed his
baseball career.
During his management of the La
Grango club he formed a very close
friendship with Secretary Edward Young
Clarke of the LaGrange Chamber of
Commerce, and became so ^interested In
the work of this organization that he
stated when he left he would very prob
ably enter the work at a later date.
As yet he has not deflrfitely decided
w'here he will locate, having several dif
ferent places under consideration. His
friends here wish him success in his newr
work.

The team will carry these throughout
the season.
Practically all of last year’s men aro

Dobbs received a wire from Somers last

APPENDICITIS
ITEHINE AND OVARIAN TROHBl.ES
Thousands of men and women are induced through the ignorance or
cupidity and avarice of medical advisors, to submit to the surgical open!ng or
their bodies for the relief of troubles that could'be readily c!jred b> „ "ti„5
medication, and hundreds of lives are thus needlessly sacrificed, which In many
instance is done by surgeons more interested in what they expect to get out
of the bank than what they are to get out of their victims bodies. \Ve dlsliKe
to make the statement hut the truth of it is substantiated in the fact tnat we
have cured hundreds of patients who had by their doctors, been udvised ana
urged t<» undergo such operations, but were cured by us without the knlie.
Many case:- of so-called abdominal tumors have been cut into by unworthy
surgeons only to find a mass of worms that could have been expelled by proper
medical treatment. ^ . . ...
And we can prove by the mortuary records of this and other states mat
of every hundred deaths ascribed to appendicitis, that more then ninety-five of
such deaths followed an operation.
We, therefore, invite every man and woman affected with symptoms of such
troubles to come and consult with us and he examined free of charge.

WB NEVER RESORT TO DRCKPTION
Being firmly planted here with every surplus dollar we have made invested
In Birmingham real estate, and having just fitted up for our spectal use at h
cost of several hundred dollars our present spacious quarters at 2020 1 -li, r Irst
avenue, on which we have a several years' lease, we cannot, even if so Inclined,
afford to indulge in any fal«e or misleading advertisements, or other question
able methods, such as is often resorted to by that migratory, transient class
of Medical Mountebanks ami will-’o- the-wisps, who are here today and gone to
morrow, and whose advent is always made known by the loud flapping of their
wings and their shrill criying professions of miraculous abilities, and with a
mighty flare of such false trumpeting, as, “Not a dollar need he paid, until
cured.” "No cure, no pay,” and many other such alluring ’’sucker halt” phrases,
to attract those in search of health to their den, where under some one pretext
or another, they hope to extract a fee, but* never, never conditional upj%n first
effecting a cure before taking the fee.
In our quarter of a century stay in this city, we have noted the coming
and going of a great many of this class gf miracle workers and Pseudo Phil
anthropist*. who like empty wagons, came in with much noise, but, who, after
a short stay, and when they had gotten their load worn the pocKets of their
trusting victims, have, like Arabs, silently folded their tents and stolen away by
night, leaving only their deluded, disappointed, purse lightened patrons to mourn
their departure.
We never have, nor never will resort to any deception, either in our ad
vertisements to obtain patrons, or in our office, to get fees. Bat we believe
the “laborer is worthy of his hire.” and charge a reasonable price for our ser

advertising to obtain patronage. However, for the benefit of anv who may
not be familiar with our standing, we will be pleased to fuinish on-application,
