BROOKS SMITH ENTERS
 THE RAGE FOR AUDITOR

He was on his county committee for many years and has been a member of the state executive committee since he has been in the office of the auditor He has many friends, as have the others, each catering to a following all his own in a sense, and it is quite likely the fight will be one of the hottest of the political year.
 MT. Smith gives out the following in- terview
 T am a candidate for state auditor subject to the action of the democratic primaries on August 27, 1906 My experi- ence as warrant clerk in this depart ment of the state government for five years, has familiarzed me with all the work and details connected with this office, and I feel will enable me to dis charge the duties of the position efficient ly and with satisfaction to the people of Alabama.
 In order that my position on public affairs may be known, will say that. my record as a democrat is consistent and unbroken. l believe firmly in the princi- pies of the democratic party and all my efforts have been, and will continue to be, to build up and strengthen up that organization which has done so much to make Alabama a great and pros porous state I am in favor of an econom- lcdl -duInlHlSlfallOn Ol lne dIdlTS Ol the state, and believe that the tax rate should be lowered from time to time as the financial conditions will admit.
 T favor liberal appropriations for pub lie schools, and the support of the few remaining old soldiers and their widows, who gave their service to the cause of our country. I favor holding all the officials of the state to a strict account in the discharge of the duties of their re- nfrff II. careful and diligent to see that every dollar is paid into the state treasury by those officials whose duty it is to remit through the state auditor I favor the enactment of all such laws as will more fully equalize the burdens of taxation and believe that every species of property, whether belonging to individuals or cor porations. should be required to bear its just proportion of the burden of tax ation, and that in all assessments, wheth- CT by the county officials or the state board of assessment, of which I, as audi tor would be a member, this principle should be strictly followed and adher- ed to.
 q am also heartily in favor of every effort which will tend to bring into this state a good class of immigrants as laborers upon our farms and industrial enterprises, to supersede as far as possi- ble, a certain class of worthless and shift less negroes, who infest our state I also favor the building up and developing of all the resources of Alabama mineral commercial and industrial, and the en- actment of all such laws as will tend to stimulate enterprise and encourage in- vestments in Alabama
 Realizing that success comes only to the diligent, it Is my purpose to make an active and aggressive campaign, and hope to visit every county in the state before the primaries"

likewise! They can be us pretty az
the Irish girl II they so desire.
The Irish girl" says he, has few
direct beauty laws. she has been
taught TO DO certain things and she
does them, though she may be ignorant
OF the fact that they make her pretty.
Often she does not even know that
she is good,looking.
For one thing, the Irish girl washes
her face in soft lotions milk. cream,
sour milk and buttormlk She has
been taught that she must do so for
her complexion and do so she does.
Her grandmother told her that It
would remove her freckles and the
Irish girl hates freckles worse than
any other physical Ill., She cannot en-.
dure the sight Of them
III she lives In the city she has
buttermik brought to her. In the
depths Of the buttermllk the belle
enjoys a daily cleansing of the skin.
If she lives in the country she
washes her face in sweet buttermilk
directly after the churning.
Tho Irish girl washes great
deal, and she uses cold water mostly,
after the fashion of the English won.
an, for she holds that hot water
makes her skin soft and lays her
open to the possibility Of catching
cold. She dips her face In the cool
spring, If there is cool spring avail.
able, otherwise in a deep basin of wa
ter. for she knows that the hands
must be filled and the face dashed
several times a day with water.
The Irish girl also washes her
hair frequently. She shampoos Il
with clear soft water and she rinses
It well. drying It in the sun In the
cities, where this is impossible. 1t Is
dried In the air by shaking 1t until
there is no moisture left in the hair.
Another thing In her favor from
beauty's standpoint, is that she Is
never In a hurry. She has all the
time there Is. and when she washes
her face she does II well. When she
shampoos her hair she does It slow
ly. When she dries II she leaves not
particle of moisture In II and wnen
she dips her face In buttermilk she
takes the time to massage II well.
That is one OF her main secrets OF
beauty-namely. that she takes
plenty Of time for everything.
The Irish girl never hurries her
beauty bath. She regards 1t as part
Of her life, u necessary thing without
which her face would not glow nor
her hair shine, She would scorn TO

The Well-Bred Girl.

II is said that the girl Of to-day is
lacking in breeding and manners
That is because two classes OF daugh.
ters are in the public eye-the daugh-
tiers of the super.rich. who have grown
arrogant and who imagine that wealth
endows them with the right to be
rude. and the daughters OF the poor
who flaunt bad manners in public be.
cause they know no better. Between
these two is that great mass of we'll
bred girls, some daughters of old fam
lilies still well to do, and others whose
fathers may have laid bricks or even
carried them, but who through edu.
cation, self.culture and contact with
the better class Of men and women
In the business world have mastered
the true art Of gentle womanhood.
