AN OLD IDEA

People used to think that badness was
one of those things which are handed
down from generation to generation,
from father to son-just like a family
heirloom.
Science has shown the falseness of this
belief by proving that badness itself is
not a constitutional disease. but the re-
sult of germ invasion of which only
Herpcide can effectually rid the scalp.
Washing only cleans the scalp of
Dandruff-it doesn't kill the germs.

PEST HOUSE LOCATED
WILL BE REMOVED TO CALDWELL
 PLACE.
Property Two and n Half Miles from City on Upper Wetumpka Road is Purcased--ActiOn of
 Council.

The city of Montgomery will remove its pest house, officially known as the Elmer gency Hospital from its present location across the road from Oakwood Cemetery, to a point on the Upper Wetumpka Road two and a half miles from the city.
 The new location will be in the country home of W. R. Caldwell, located in a shady grove of pines on the east side of a hill With the house the city will pur- chase between fourteen and fifteen acres of land, on which to erect additional buildings.
 No disposition has been made of the land on which the pest house is located. It will be held by the city while at least. It is understood that Massey Will son and his associates who are tmprov- inx the property in what is known as Capital Hill Heights and which Is ad- iacent to the pest house, have offered the city &. 700 for the land. There is in the property between four and five acres. The City Council has not decided to sell the property yet, however, and may not do so.
 The City Council at a special meeting last night decided that the pest house should be moved and that the city should buy the Caldwell property at $500.
 The Joint Committee of Sanitation and Public Works through Alderman Strauss recommended such a course to the Coun- ell and the report of the committee which authorized the removal of the pest house directed the Mayor to close contract with MT. Caldwell, upon the approval of the deeds by the City Attorney.
 The home of MT. Caldwell, pretty rural home of six rooms, will probably be used as a ward for white patients. Accommodations for negro patients Will nrohablv he furnished by the erection of new buildings.
 This question of removing the pest house came before the Council at it's meeting last Monday night, but it was discussed in executive session. The Council favor ed the removal, but waited for the San itation and Public Works Committee tc arrange the details.
 The present pest house. consisting oi several unpainted, unsightly buildings scattered along a hillside has been ar eyesore for some time. It is in resi- dence portion of the city, and it is over looked by the city cemetery, one of th' most frequented spots in Montgomery One of the most popular driveways goins out of Montgomery runs by it.
 .eWe have not decided what Is to be done with the property after we have moved the pest house." said Alderman Mcintyre last night. The city is in no hurry tC get rid of 1t. Rather than the property should be built up in cheap and insight Nv negro houses, I for one would prefer | that the city should hold it."

Our Daily Sport Story

T got tired of waiting for you, and pulled the nails with my teeth" said Starcom, in his absurd way. Now for the Amanti"
 How peculiarly the box smells" re- marked the girl. putting her pretty lit- tie nose down to it. Like naptha, or kerosene, or something"
 That's nothing" said Starcom. 'Itll keep the damp out. A ltAtle more of I'll trouble you for some nails. These are bent and I want to fasten it se- curely. Too bad to bother you to go out again."
 That night the evil-smelling box, covered with labels and seals, was packed in an express car speeding to the affiuent violin collector of Cahoon- dawachick At 9 o'clock the next morning 1t was piled with a heap of other baggage against the shady side of the Wigton depot, awaiting trans fer to the branch line of Cahoondawa- chick. At 9:12, from some cause un- known-possibly a carelessly thrown match--the box caught fire. Wigton is lonely sort of place for junc.- tton, and before the station agent and stray passenger who was waiting the Chicago express noticed the blaze therc was not much left of the box to jump on. The station master jumped on 1t, however, and rescued some charred splinters of a violin. Its only fid- dle," he said to the passenger; "a good thing 1t was nothing valuable" And so Miriam went to Pesth. She really was grieved over the loss of her Amanti; but Dicks remorse for hav- ing induced her to take the risk was so touching that she amost forgot her sorrow in consoling him. And then, of course, the insurance money softened the bow. When she came back she had the Guyoriczs trade mark, but she did not seem enthusiastically anxious for a career.
 T wish I had not gone," she confess. ed to Starcom. If I had my old vio. lin back and my old life I believe I could be happy, after all. I'm worn out, Dick"
 "win do without the violin?" asked Starcom.
 Dick, I've missed you the whole dreary time." she said, with a sigh of content. as he took her into his arms. It was rather a surprise for Miriam when she found that she had married successful speculator. She was rath- CT shocked. too, for she had ideas on the subject. It was another surprise when she found her old Amanti care lessly lying on the piano in the Sorse- ous music room that had been planned as another surprise. Starcom explain. . ed that an unscruplous collector had substituted the cheap violin for the Amanti before 1t was shipped, but he was bound. in view of the restitution. not to divulse that interruptions per- sons name

CLEVER DOCTOR.
Cured 20 Years Trouble Without Any
 Medicine.


 A wise Indiana physician cured 20 years stomach disease without any medicine, as his patient tells:
 T had stomach trouble for 20 years tried allopathic medicines, patent medi- cines and all the simple remedies sug- gested by my friends, but grew worse all the time
 Finally a doctor who is the most prominent physician in this part of the State told me medicine would do me no good only irritating my stomach and making it worse-that I must look to diet and quit drinking coffee.
 T cried out in alarm, Quit drinking Coffee! why, What will I drink?'
 Try Postum. said the doctor, I drink 1t and you will like it when 1t is made according to directions, with cream. for it is delicious and has none of the bad effects coffee has,
 Well that was two years ago, and am still drinking Postum. My stom- ach Is right again and I know doctor hit the nail on the head when he decid- ed coffee was the cause of all my trou- ble. l only wish I had quit 1t years ago and drank Postum in its place" Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

The News of Pensacola

Pensacola, Fla, May 22.-(Special.) The Democratic Executive Committee held a special meeting tonight Tor the purpose of arranging for the second primary election, to be held June 1th. Tn the important business transacted was the selection of clerks and fnspec- tors which was done for the most part from the list which served In the nrst election. Another important acton to- night was the severing of connection with the committee of Hon. John B. Jones as chairman and Ben B. beers' as secretary. Chairman Jones was succeeded by Frank Reilly. former member of the committee from Pre- cinct IS, and MT. Beers was succeeded by W. c. Jones, the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. The new com mittee enters upon its duties with two members in excess of what has been in the last three years. This having been made possible by the creations or two new precincts in the county. The second primary will be interesting from many points. Occurring early in June, campaigning has already been commenced for 1t. Hon. J. N c. Stock ton will oppose Hon. James P. Talia- ferro for the United States Senate. Mir. Stockton is quoted as saying that I spend sl00,0o0 before he got through with them" and this has attracted much attention. MT. Stockton's con- ceded vote giving him all that Mir. Call received, will make total for the Jacksonville banker of 1S,S52 against 21,S90 for Mir. Taliaferro. With S,956 votes standing to the credit of Cover nor Jennings, 1t is regarded as quite probable that a very large percentage of the Jennings vote would go to Stockton in the second primary, but the impression is prevalent that Mir. Taliaferro would get at least 1000 of the S,956 cast for Governor Jennings.
 Local interest centers about even from casual observation on the gov- ernorship race, which Is between Ma poieon B. Broward of Jacksonville and Robert W. Davis of Ocala. Both these candidates received a good vote in the primary, the other offices to be filled in the second race are those of treas urer, clerk of the criminal court and constable for the Fifth district. By the withdrawal of James M. Johnson In fa- vor of w. M. J. Scott. for the office of supervisor of registration, there will be no necessity for another vote for q choice in this offlce. Mir. Johnson has been commended for his decision or account of the almost helpless physi- cal condition of MT. Scott.
 Another office to be filled is that Of county judge, candidates in which are the incumbent. Judge Thomas R. Nc. Cullogh, an old Confederate soldier and Henry Bellinger. q bank clerk, who is very popular throughout the county This race claims unusual attention.
