Shrinking Cloth.

The question of how to shrink heavy
cloths is often a difficult one to solve.
Hang the material over the clothes
line, with the fold on the line, and
wet it with the garden hose. Allow
it to hang until dry. 1t will be quite
unnecessary to iron 1t, as the garment
must be pressed when finished. This
can only be done with heavy clothes.

ALABAMA CONVICT DIES.
William Cline of Cleburne, Who Was
 Serving For Murder.

Anniston. Feb. 24---tspeciaD--She William c. LeGrande has been notifed of the death of William Cline, who was serving a ten-year sentence at Rich burg, for the murder of J. E.. Phillips, father of his son-in-law, about year ago. lie having been convicted in the City Court of Cleburne County the lat ter part of last month.
 Cline has children working in the mills of the American Net and Twine Company. and at the Western Steel Car and Foundry Company of this city. MT. LeGrande has been asked to notify them of their fathers death and Inform the Richburg officials what disposition to make of the body.
 Local interest attached to Mir. Cline's death because he was once tried here for the murder, and on being convicted in~the second degree, was sentenced to the State penitentiary to serve for a long term of years. He was promptly sent away and he began the term of service. It was later ascertained that the trial and conviction were illegal. because 1t developed that the crime was really committed in Cleburne County. the exact location of the county lines being at that time in doubt.
 Cline was then returned from the penitentiary to the Calhoun County jail, where he was kept until few weeks ago, when he was transferred to cle- hurne County and turned over to the courts there for second trial on the charge

Tr.n.nortnt,on Not Paid For.

The arrest of four foreigners on charges of obtaining money on false nretenses, the warrants being issued by one of the larger industrial corpora tions of this district. It Is announced, will be followed by the arrest of large number of others who are in the same position, and liable. The warrants is- sued aver that the men against whom they operated, accepted transportation from agents of the corporations ana nromised to come to the Birmingham district and immediately go to work for the said corporation.
 It is further averred that after com ing to thIs district the men declined to go to work and the arrest Is result. The industrial corporations in the Bir- minsham district have for some time now been bringing In foreign labor, one company in particular bringing much oi this labor from New York, at which point no little of the labor is caught right at the port of entry. What has brought about declination on the part of the foreigners to take up the tasks assigned to them in this district cannot he ascertained, but 1t Is fact that they have refused almost point blank to per form the work for which they were brought here The four men arrested can speak very little English and they appear to be well agitated over thsir conditions.

So many false formulas and malicious statements concerning his medicines had been published through the con niyance of jealous competitors and dis gruntled doctors, that Dr. Pierce deter mined to completely disarm his assail- ants by full and frank statement ot their exact composition, verifying the same under oath as complete and cor rect. This he has done and to the complete discontinue of those who had assailed his good name as we'll as the well-earned reputation of his world famed medicines.
 Not only does the wrapper of every bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the famous medicine for weak stomach, torpid liver or bilious ness and all catarrhal diseases wherever located, have printed upon it, co ptaan English, full and complete list of all the ingredients composing 1t, but small book has been compiled from numerous standard medical works, ot all the different schools of practice, containing very numerous extracts from the writings of leading practitioners of medicine, endorsing tn the strongest possibJe terms, each and every ingred- ient contained in Dr. Pierce's medi- cines. One of these little books will be mailed free to any one sending address on postal card or by letter, to Dr. K. w.. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., and requesting Che same. From this booklet it will be learned that Dr. Pierce's medicines con tain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral agents or other poisonous or injurious agents and that they are made from native, medicinal roots of great value; siso that some of the most valuable in- sredients contained in Dr. Pierce's Fa- sorite Prescription for weak, nervous, sJver-worked, "run-down," nervous and debilitated women, were employed, long years ago by the Indians for similar ailments affecting their squaws. In fact. one of the most valuable medic inal plants entering into the compost ton of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- ton was known to the Indians as RSouaw-Weed.D Our knowledge of the uses of not few of our most valuable native, medicinal plants was gained from the Indians.
 As made up by improved and exact processes, and with the use of specially designed chemical apparatus, the Wa vorite Prescription" IS most ethclent remedy for regulating all the womanly functions, correcting displacements, a' prolapsus, anteversion and retroverslon overcoming painful periods, toning uI the nerves and bringing about perfec state of health.
