Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques thatthe world has ever known. Men and women, ,old-and dyoung,rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily. but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch- ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is pleasant, harmless and abso- lutely sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

FOURTH YEAR OF
 MOTHERS UNION

The Mothers Union of Montgomery has entered hopefully it's fourth year of work. The value and importance of the move ment has come to oe fully realized. The purpose of the members is to unite in the eftort to strengthen and broaden all the true interests of life: to seek for and en- courage the application of the best meth ods in training the child. for they bear In mind that ''every child that is born into the world forms part of the scheme or the universe. His young life is the germ out of which his manhood and old age are developed. The end depends upon the beginning
 During the current year the attention of the club at it's regular meetings has been given almost exclusively to tho study of :. household economies. Apart rom thisS much good practical work has been done by committees Several mem bers of the Mothers Union are I, prominent r(, linen workers in the State Federation of Wo- mems Clubs. Three are on its Legisla- tive Committee. One of these is also chairman of the most important commit zee Tn the Federation, that on Educa- ton; while another is chairman of Household Economies Committee, and Treasurer of the Free Scholarships Fund Tor Mentevallo. Some of it's members are foremost among the women of Mont gomery who are working for civic inter- ests. TWO Presidents of other large and prosperous organizations are among it's membership, which also includes repre- sentatives from that noble body, the Jewish Council of Women.
 These statements point to the fact that the Mothers Union stands for thought ful, intelligent motherhood earnestly seeking for the best development of the child in its threefold nature-of body, mind and spirit. All women-they need not necessarily be mothers, but all wo- men who are deeply interested in the effort to make life fuller and fairer for the children of today, and so for those of all time, are invited to join the Moth- CTS Union.
 The officers are: Mrs. A.. T. Good wyn, President; Mrs. Ray Rushton, First Vice President: Mrs. W. A. Gunter, Second Vice-President; Mrs. R. P. DeX- ter, Secretary; Mrs. w. J. Chambers Treasurer.
 The Advisory Board is composed of Mrs. Jacques Loeb, Mrs. K. H. Morris sette, Mrs. W. J. Chambers. Mrs T. Gardner Foster. Mrsy C~,FS,- S,-Morttzs .-s

I have al- ways been ashamed to acknowledge this scarcity of hose to my friends who pride themselves on having four dozen pairs of stockings because I feared they would nre me from good society. But 1t is out now" -
 What are you two knitting your brows over." said the third who came to look. at shirtwaist stuffs, T do feel it is too bad that we women spend these beautiful spring days agonizing over the dry goods make it: when if we would use the late winter days making shirtwaists and skirts, leaving only the extra modest gowns for now. we might be reveling in the woods seeing the crisp green young leaves gradually unfold. Oh; if it were not for spring clothes, how lovely it would be to watch the sturdy dogwood blos- som and the green quakery little cpl demic of bulb blossoms put forth and the dewberry blossoms make their appear ance as they are doing now.
 Let us make solemn VOW to sew hereafter on the staple goods of our wardrobe during the sere and yellow leaf regime and hie us to the woods and com mune with nature while the spring time is on."
 They agreed and formed a nature club to have it's being during the budding months.
