JUST so EVERYWHERE.

It is not at all difiieult matter to pass a- law or an ordinance, especially the latter, but the enforcement Is quite different matter. A quorum of ai- dermen in Q city will get together and decide that a certain thing ought to be done. We may assume that they are thoroughly honest and sincere in their convictions. and in the belief that such an ordinance will be a good and proper thing for the city and the people. They pass 1t and imagine the good work is done, but they are sadly mistaken. It has only passed the em- bryo state, and sometimes doesn't get that far. It is law in situ, we may call it. It Is found that 1t either can not be enforced or will not be. Either there Is some defect in its provisions or machinery which make 1t impossi- ble to carry it out, or else 1t Is so un- popular or something else that no real effort is made to enforce 1t.
 We have been led to these reflections from constantly reading in the news papers complaints about the non-en- forcement of anti-spitting ordinances. The complaint comes from cities in all sections of the country. They speak of ordinances which have been adopted to prohibit splitting on the sidewalks. in street-cars and in other public places. but the almost universal ver- dict is that they are not enforced. The papers continually complain of the non-enforcement of the laws, and sug- gest remedies. but the complaint goes on just the same. Men keep on spit ting where they please and the news papers keep on complaining and sug- gesting.
 Why is this thus? Is 1t that men think they have an inalienable. sacred and unpreventable right to expectorate just when and where they please2 It Is not any one city or section from which the complaint comes. Men spit everywhere and no law seems able to prevent the nuisance. We see the fault in Montgomery. just as we read of 1t elsewhere. It prevails where there are ordinances against 1t. just as 1t does where no attempt has been made to suppress 1t. If such regula- tions cannot be enforced had they not better be abolished? A law that can not be, or will not be. enforced Is al- ways hurtful because it naturally breeds contempt for other laws. En- force or repeal is the only true doc Urine. Z.
 Meanwhile. spit is the word.

FOR WOMEN AND WOMEN ONLY
Much That Every Woman Desires to Know About Sanative, Antiseptic Cleansing and the Care of tho Skin, Scalp, Hair, and Hands.
WHAT CUTICURA
 DOES FOR WOMEN

Too much stress canpot be placed on the great value of Cuticura Soap, Ointmeut, and Pills in the antisep- tic cleansing of the mucous eur faces, and of the blood and circulating fluids, thus afording pure, sweet, and economical local and constitutional treatment for weakening alterations, intlammations, itchings, irritations, re1axations, diapiscements, paiss, and irregularities peculiar to females. Hence the Cuticura remedies have wonderful influence in restoring health, strength, and beauty to weary women, who have been prematurely aged and inva1ided by these distress- ing ailments, as well as such sympa- thetic afflictions as an@mia, chlorosis, hysteria, and nervousness.
 Women from the very first have fully appreciated the purity and sweet ness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy which have made Cuticura the standard humour rem. edy of the civilized world
