The Only Cure.

Eczema is more than a skin disease,
and no skin remedies can cure it. The
doctors are unable to effect a cure, and
their mineral mixtures are damaging
to the most powerful constitution. The
whole trouble is in the blood, and
Swift's Specific is the only remedy
which can reach such deep-seated blood

 Early Closing of Stores

The committee from the Birmingham Womans club, who has been personally petitioning the business men of the city in regard to the early closing of the stores during the summer months authorizes the publication of the following list of mer- chants who favor the early closing move ment. These progressive business men agree to close their stores every afternoon at o'clock, with the exception of Satur- day, beginning July l. and continuing un--l October 1, provided that the closing will become general. It has been impossible to personally interview every business firm in the city, but it is hoped that there will be but one opinion in regard to this human itarian movement. A majority of the lead ing firms have placed themselves on record as favorng this custom, which is an es tablished one in many cities, and if there is any opposition on the part of q minor ity 1t will be deplorable thing should it result in the falling through of this move- ment, which so far has met with co-opera- ton. The list is as follows:
 Loveman, Joseph x Loeb; Loveman, Jaros & Co. Grade Palace); Estes Stove Co.,; Berger & Co.,. Thornton & Co.,; Bro phy & Co.,; Prowell Hardware Co.,; Jesse French Piano and Organ Co.,; Birmingham Arms and Cycle Co.,; Brown Crockcry Co.,; Ferd Marx; Caheen Bros; southern Music Co.,; John W.

 I've, the undersigned collectively and Individually, most earnestly desire to eX- tend our thanks to the ladies of the Womans club and it's worthy presi- dent for their unceasng efforts in be- half of the early closing movement. The plan of providing an hour for recre- alton each day is practical solution of the problem of comfortable existence within the built-up limits during the heat-laden midsummer days, and stimulant that will keep us in best trim and best humor to serve you care fully when you come.
