In the treatment of torturing, disiig- uring, itching, scaly, crusted, pimply, blotchy and scrofulous. humours of the skin, scalp and blood, with loss of hair. Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills have been wonderfully successful. Even the most obstinate of constitutional hu- mours, such as bad blood, scrofula, in- herited and contagious humours, with loss of hair, glandular swellings, ulcer ons patches in the throat and mouth. sore eyes, copper-colored blotches, as well as boils, carbuncles, scurvy, sites. ulcers and sores arising from an im- pure or impoverished condition of the blood, yield to the Cuticura Treatment. when all other remedies and methods fail
 And greater still, if possible, is the wonderful record of cures of torturing, dlsligurlng humours among infants and children. The suffering which Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment have alleviated among the young, and the comfort they have afforded worn-out and wor- ried parents, have led to their adoption in countless homes as priceless cura- tlyes for the skin and blood. Infantile and birth humours, milk crust, scall head, eczema, rashes and every form of itching, scaly, pimply skin and scalp humours, with loss of hair, of infancy and childhood, are speedily, perma- nently and economically cured when all other remedies suitable for children, and even the best physicians, fail.

 The chairman of the city democratic executive committee says the voting booths will be distributed at the different wards tomorrow, so no trouble will be experienced or time consumed in expblit- ing the work of opening the polls on Mon day morning.
 The necessary printed matter will be delivered today or tomorrow to the execu- tive committed and it will be distributed early Monday to the managers, clerks and returning officers who will have in charge the nine voting places in the city.

BRICK INDUSTRY
 IN THIS DISTRICT
ALL YARDS WORKING TO THEIR FULL CAPAcITY-A GENERAL SALES AGENCY FOR ALL THE LOCAL BRICK MAKERS.

w. S. Winters. president of the Jeff ferson Brick company, general sales agent for the various brick manufac- tufers of the district. reports that while brick-making has been somewhat delay ed by the weather recently, all yards are now working their full capacities.
 The formation of the Jefferson Brick company as sales agent has been a great boon to the brick industry of Birming- ham for it enables manufacturers to handle with dispatch much larger orders than formerly. We can now sell and de- liver promptly 7OO00,OOO brick annually" said MT. Winters, which would have been impossible formerly"
 The various brick makers in the Bir- mingham district turn out all kinds of brick made by all processes which gives the Jefferson Brick company a wide latitude in taking orders. Some yards use the stiff mud process and make building brick alone; some employ the dry press process and make vitrified brick; others make repressed brick for facings and still others use the semi-dry process and produce shale brick only
 We expect to have an immense busi- ness this year." said Mir. Winters. ''and to dispose of our entire output"

15,OOO,OOO PEOPLE
 RODE LAST YEAR
BIRMINGHAM STREET CARS CAR REED THAT MANY PERSONS--TH LOOP CARS NOW GO OVER THE 22ND STREET BRIDGE.

Yesterday all loop and Highland cars were going over the Twenty-second street viaduct instead of crossing the railroad tracks on Twentieth street as usual. The change was due to some work being done at the corner of Twentieth street and Avenue B. It is thought that the Highland cars will be going along Twen- tieth street this morning.
 Hereafter, however, all loop cars will cross the viaduct on Twenty-second street turning into Twentieth again on Second avenue. This will be done in order to lessen the number of cars that will have to go over the grade crossing on Iwen- tieth street.
 President Jemson of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company said yesterday afternoon that large sums are being expended in the various improve ments in the downtown district.
 We will spend more than s1O0,00O for turns and switches alone,' he said "and when this work is completed it will be possible to go down town on any line and get within less than two blocks of any business house in the city which is in what we call the delivery district This delivery district includes everything between First and Fourth avenues and Eighteenth and Twenty streets.
 We want to give the best service pos- sible. Last year we hauled 150C0,000 people and those people want the best. We want every passenger to get his or her money s worth"
 MT. Jemison also said that steam had been turned on to test the pipes in the new steam-heating system that is being installed, but that the pipes were not yet ready to supply heat to anyone. The laying of the pipes has reached First ave- nue.

POOR PROSPECTS
 FOR ALA, EXHIBIT
Legislature Will Not Make
 Necessary Appropriation
SPACE AT ST. LOUIS FAIR
Commissioners Have About Abandoned Hope, But It Is Possible That the Movement for Private Subscrip-
 tions May Be Started.

Alabama will probably not be represent ed by an exhibit at the Louisiana Pur- chase exposition to be held in St. Louis in 1904. The commission appointed recent ly by Governor Jells has about given up the fight. as it Is generally conceded that the state will not make an appropriation sufficiently large to warrant an exhibit being attempted.
 If the matter is again taken up 1t will be at the September session, for the leg islature adiourns tomorrow until Septem- Der.
 Governor Cannot Assist.
 Several members of the commission have been in conference with Governor Jelks for the past few days and the gov ernor states that it is impossible for him to aid in securing an appropriation as all the money available has been appropri- ated.
 Governor Jelks did not state positively that he would veto the appropriation, but the commissioners felt that without his assistance they would be unable to get the money and he has been constrained to refuse the assistance asked. They knew that every other means of getting the bill through had been tried and failed.
 One of the commissioners said yester- day morning that he had seen the gov ernor and talked with him and received no encouragement from him. He said that the matter would probably be drop ped for good. The commissioner said that it would be a drawback to the state not to have an exhibit while it would be a great advertisement If there was an appropriate display of the Alabama re- sources.
 About Location.
 As is well known it will be impossible to get a good location on the fair grounds at St. Louis after September, and there fore the commission does not hope to be able to do anything even at that ses- sion of the legislature The members of the commission have been to St Louis and have made careful study of the situation, and state that it will be im- possible to make Q fitting exhibit for less than $50, ,O00 They have so reported, and on this report was based the bill appro- priating $50,000 which is now pending in the legislature.
 There is a possibility that the cti. zens of the state will take the enterprise up and raise fund for the exhibit. If this is to be done, the movement will have to be commenced at once. as the time is limited and the commission will have to know in a short time what funds will be at it's command.
