JAKE WELLS NEW COMPANY,
Organization Which is Soon to Ente
 the Opera Field.

The Richmond News and Leader gives the following account of the organization of Jake Wells new company which will shortly be in Birmingham at the Bijou theatre:
 Manager Wells of the Bijou Theatrical company. has just returned to the city from New York, where he went on a business trip, in connection with Otis Harlan of the Wells-Dunne-H Harlan com pany. a deal was completed whereby the local enterprise will enter the field of opera at an early date.
 The Wells-Dunne-Harlan company bought outright the plays and rights heretofore owned and operated by Kirk La Shelle. being '"The Ameer" and "The Idols Eye" These are the plays in which Frank Daniels has starred for several seasons in all the large cities of the coun- try and which proved to be successes be- yond the expectations of the owner.
 MT. Wells, in discussing the matter with a reporter said: MT. Harlan is now in New York, where he is engaged in re- hearsing the two plays. They will be presented by the Bijou Opera company, which names will distinguish 1t from the Bijou Musical Comedy company. MT. Harlan is recognized as one of the best stage directors in the country. He will not appear in the cast, but will devote his entire time to the management of the company. which will present the two operas alternately--one each week
 'e'The Ameer is unquestionably one of the funniest and most entertaining pro- auctions seen on the stage for many days. That it will prove popular and 'go' In the houses under the management of the Bijou Theatrical company 1 have not the slightest doubt. Frank Daniels has never appeared anywhere in the south as less than .s1 90, and we will present the plays at the popular Bijou prices. New CO.'S tunes have been selected and the re- hearsing is well under way. I have seen some of the people at work. and Mir, liar Ian has collected a company of forty which will equal any ever seen In this section of the country"

HEAD SOLID SORE Awful Sutfering of Baby and Sleepless Nights of
 Mother. CURED BY CUTICURA Skin Fair as a Lily with no Scar to Recall Awful Sore
 Writes Mother.

"I herewith write out in fun the be- ginning and end of that terrible disease, eczema, which caused my babe untold suffering and myself many sleepless nights.
 My babe was born seemingly fair, healthy child, but when she was three weeks old swelling appeared on she back of her head, and in course of time broke. It did not heal but grew worse. and the sore spread from the size of a dime to that of dollar. I used all kinds of remedies that could think of. but nothing seemed to help; in fact, it grey worse. Her hair fell out where the Sore was, and feared 1t would never grow again. It continued until my aged father came on a visit, and when he saw tho baby he told me to get Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment right away.
 ITO please him I did so, and to my surprise by their use the sore began to heal over, the hair grew over 1t, and to-day she has nice head of hair, her skin is as fair as lily, and she has no scar left to recall that awful sore, and 1t Is over eight months and no sign of it's returning"
 Mrs. WM. RYER, Elk River, Minn.
 "Cure permanent" So writes Mrs. Ryer, Feb. 25, 1908, six years later:
 "Your letter ofthe 18th inst. received, asking in regard to the cure of my baby some six years ago. We'll, the disease has never returned to her head which ct that time was a solid sore on top and down the back. Once or twice since then patch has come on her hand near the wrist, but 1t finally disappeared after proper treatment with Cuticura."

MANY ARTISTIC EFFECTS

The spring openings yesterday were as usual attended by hundreds of people. The bright spring weather would have thronged the shops on any ordinary day. and the announcements of the formal op- enings were 80 attractive that few could resist a visit to the shopping district Once along First and Second avenues, In the neighborhood of Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, the throng surged In and out the stores, packing the elevators and making the scene quite metropolitan.
 In no city in the south are the mer- chants more enterprising than those In Birmingham, and the most elaborate preparations are made every season Tor the formal openings. Decorators are given every opportunity to transfer the big shop windows Into scenes of beauty and the interior of the shops themselves leave nothing to be desired in the way oi artistic treatment Yesterday was but repetition of the old story. Among the leading merchants whose openings were held yesterday were: Ferd Marx, Louis Saks Hirsch, Feeder & Berk, steel-smlth' Burger, Cooper Furniture company Coi- lins the shoe man, and Cox Shoe com pany.
 Ferd Marx.
 At the Ferd Marx beautiful shop on Second avenue. there were great throhgs throughout the day. A glimpse into their millinery apartments was sight well worth seeing. Such bewilderlns ols- play of exquisite hats could bot nave been seen outside of the swell shops or Gotham. The women shoppers fairly rayed about them, and all day pretty women passed before the long mirrors adjusting different hats, and just as many | women looked on admiringly.
 description of few of the hats tol- lows: A hat of pink folded chiffon, It's distinction being in the star-shaped | crown and brim and in the arrangement | of the many small pink rosebuds with which it was trimmed. A large hat of ap- ple blossom foliage. with rich lace fall | ing over it's brim a stunning hat Of the season. A hat by Jospen, III piue anu heliotrope, the crown being studded with fragments. A hat in black lace and maline its egg-shaped crown done in | pink roses.
 A lilac hat. It's trimming of garlands of vistils and of ribbon in the lilac tints. A hat in burnt straw, about its crown a wreath of small oranges and foliage. There were several handsome hats made entirely of handwork, and besides the many smart hats for dressy occasions, there were the latest styles for morning wear and the street, these including the continental shapes so much in vogue
 In the dress goods department the most beautiful fashions were seen in both the costly materials for evening and dress | occasions as well as the cotton gowns, and other wash materials. The spring | stock is one of the handsomest ever brought south, and the firm received many congratulations upon the great success | If tbaft. opanfnp

Here were to be seen the modish gowns, the shirtwaist suits, the separate waists and skirts, the driving coats, the dear little stocks the gloves, the hosiery, the many accessories to the smart toil- l cite.
