The FimpIe
 And The Face
First Show Signs of the Blood Poverty Which Causes Most Skin
 Diseases

It is a strange truth that pimples usually appear upon the face, thus H. lustrating that nature uses the most di- rect method of convincing man that the blood is filled with poison. The human circulatory system is said to be the most wonderful of all evil dences of nature It carries health, food and strength to every part of the body. It also carries from every part of the body all germ life, waste matter and de- cay.
 If through poor eating, indigestion, con- stipaton, etc, the blood is filled with poi sonous, decayng, irritating fluids, these poisons are carried to the lungs, where they are attempted to be cleansed by the oxygen from air inhaled. If this does not accomplish the re- suit demanded the blood takes away the poison and carries it to the little cells of
 the skin, where they leave it. Here these poisons irritate and decay, until at last they form pimples and blackheads and other skin eruptiOns; at last bursting or are removed by man. When you have pimples it Is cer- tain sign your blood is wrong that the great human blood system is turned into an intricate series of sewerage canals
 which are filled with impurities. Science long ago learned that Calcium Sulphide was the most powerful, harm less and Denenclal blood purlfer obtain able.
 Stuart's Calcium Waters, under chem teal tests, conclusivey prove themselves to be one of the best methods of pre-
 serving the full strength of this great
 blood cleanser.
 The real beauty of StuArt's Calcium Waters lies in their rapid work Their
 good effects are seen after only few
 days use and face full of pimples has been made clear and clean after only five days use of these wafers. These wafers, by the peculiar Stuart
 process, preserve and hold the full
 strength of Calcium Sulphide, so that the
 system obtains this wonderful purifier in
 It's most efficient state.
 Other methods of administering and
 preparing Calcium Sulphide have proven
 Stuart's Calcium Waters to be the best
 method.

SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP
 AT THE STATE CAPITOL
By HERVEY w. LAIRD.

to be chief executive, and eliminate Weakley from antagonism to the efforts of Chief Justice Tyson to succeed him. self.
 The supposition that such a plan might be to throw the Conner influence to Gray is borne out by the well known fact that the governor is not specially favorable to the race being made by Col. H. s. D. Mallory to succeed him. He Is well known at the same time to be very fond of Weakley and to want him kept in the forefront of the political limelight. Tyson and the governor are good friends, so it looks like the arrange ment might be very pleasing to the pres ent head of the government, especially as he would not grieve any to see Bank head take a tumble.
 Bankhead's Strength.
 However, Bankhead, with the recent victory of the good roads amendment, has a new strength that will be hard to cope with. Governor Conner was op- posed to the amendment though it was the only one of the three offered that passed. However, the proposition for the state to take hold and help to build roads is one so attractive that its friends will be given a great pull. Captain Bank head has also been very active for ru- ral delivery, farm improvement and other things that the people desire, so that he has a hold on the individual voter that few men have ever enjoyed in the his tory of the state
 , All of which indicates that if the fight should be drawn along these lines 1t would mean a jolly old row of the rarest kind. Anticipating his own troub- les Senator Johnston, who Is a good campaigner, might get into the mashing business himself looking to the support of his colleague as a strength to his own future. In that case the interest would be made all the more intense. The man who did the talking above noted would not be surprised if the line up was about the way indicated, and he rather hoped there was truth in it, flor I do love a good. many sided row." he concluded.

SOME MORE FLIMSY
 LEGISLATIVE WORK
THE POINT IS RAISED THAT THE JUVENILE LAW WAS NOT RE- PEALED, AS INTENDED, BUT IS NOW IN FULL FORCE.

Montgomery, December 26.-(Special)- J. T. Letcher, a lawyer of Montgomery, has written Attorney General Garber to the effect that the juvenile court bill was not repealed as supposed
 The points raised are that it was re- pealed as an act and not as section of the code. also that it was referred to one committee ands reported by another.
 It is believed that the argument is good anc that the bill was not actually re- pealed.
