CUTICURA
 OINTMENT PuraSt of EmOIIIHntS and Greatest of Skin Cures. The Most Wonderful Curative
 of All Time For TOrturing, Disfguring
 Humours.

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question the most successful curative for tortur- ing, disfigurlng humours of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, ever con- pounded, in proof of which 8 single anointing with it, preceded by hot bath with CuticuN Soap, and followed in the seyerer cases by dose of Cutl- cura Resolvent Pills, is often sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most distressing forms of itching, burning and scaly humours, permits rest and sleep, and points to speedy cure when all other remedies fail. It is especially so in the treatment of infants and chil- dren, cleansing, soothing and healing the most distressing of infantile hu- mours, and preserving, purifying and beautifying the skin, scalp and hair.
 Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the same time, the charm of satisfying the simple wants of the toilet, In caring for the skin, scalp, hair and hands from in- fancy to age, far more etfectually, agreeably and economically than the most expensive of toilet emollients. Its "Instant relief for sSin-tortured babies, s or Sanative, antiseptic cleans ing" or "One-night treatment of the hands, or "Single treatment of the hair," or" Use after athletics" !" cycling, golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any sport, each in connection with the use of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence of this.
 Millions now rely on Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre- serving, purifying and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening and soothing red, rough and sore hands, for baby rashes, itchings and chafings, as well as for all purposes of the toilet, bath and nursery.

BASEBALL CLUB HAS HEADQUARTERS Office and Lounging Room for
 the Players 0'BRIEN TO LEAVE ALBANY Local Officials Not Worried About the Claims on the New Manager,
 as He Writes Them That
 All Is We'll
0'BRIEN TO LEAVE ALBANY

The Birmingham Baseball association has rented two offices and will have per- manent offices in the future. The rooms are located over the store of Warren Brothers on Second avenue. and are be- ing repapered and stocked with office furniture. The secretary-treasurer VIII use one of the rooms as an office and the other will be used for general purposes. such as a meeting place and loungng room for players and visitors. All mail addressed to players will be delivered to these headquarters in the future. So far Birmingham is the only city in the south to go into the baseball business in metro- politan style.
 The report that Albany is making an effort to retain Thomas O'Brien as manager is not causing the local manage ment much worry. A letter has been re- ceived from OBrien saying that Albany has no claim on him and he will have no trouble in getting away.
 It is understood the real trouble lies In the fact that since his engagement with l the Birmingham club O'Brien has been signing some of the best men of Albany s pennant- winning team. These men like O'Brien and want to come south with him. The howl raised by Albany is but natural. In the meantime Secretary Jack son and the local stockholders are chuck ling over their good luck Tn getting the man whom they believe will land the Coal Barons somewhere around the top of the percentage ladder next season.
 While Albany Is troubled about losing O Brien, New Orleans is having grave concern about the loss of Count Campau, whom the Pelicans had been counting on to take the place of Abner Powell who goes to Atlanta. Campaus contract in the New York State league is said to be so binding that he cannot get away, and for the present the Crescent City is with out a leader.
