TELLS THEM TO TAKE LOOK

Montgomery, June 12.-(Special.)-Dr Eugene A. Smith, state geqlogist, has made a plea for the use of Alabama marble in the Improvement of the capitol. Writing to the secretary of the capitol commission, he urges that the merits of the home product be fully investigated before any contract Is made for the work in which marble will be used. He says:
 q write to beg of you to insist upon Alabama marble being used in all the in- terlor decorative work If you do not believe that we have the marble to equal any in the country for such purposes, just take a trip to Sylacauga and see for yourself, and if you are in Bir- mingham look at the wainscoting bring put on the old Florence hotel. If the capitol Is decorated with Georgia mar ble or Tennessee marble or any other kind of marble than the Alabama marble 1t will be the greatest pity of the times
 After going into the matter of the abll- ity of the state to provide the needed marble and in such shape as it will Dc acceptable Dr. Smith concludes;
 "The establishment at Sylacauga could nc doubt furnish all that was needed and in time for it to be used. They cer- tainly would make strenuous efforts to get the advertisement which such use would bring them. I do not think any ether marble will be used in Alabama If once it is shown what our marble really is.'

Maryland Physician Cures Himself pr. Fisher Says: "Cuticura Rem-

My face was afflicted with eczema in the year 1897. I used the Cuticura Remedies, and was entirely cured. I am a practicing physician, and very often prescribe Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticura Soap in cases of eczema, and they have cured where other for mulas have failed. I am not in the habit of endorsing patent medicines, but when I find remedies possessing true merit, such as the Cuticura Rem- edies do. am broad-minded enough to proclaim their virtues to the world I have been practicing medicine for sixteen years, and must say I find your Remedies A No. 1.
