Help From the sheriff and Probate
 Judges.

1t is reported that the Birmingham New County Amedment opposition contingent have sent appeals to all the sheriffs and probate judges In the state to rally to their banner: that the adoption of the amendment threatens their cases and political sway by cur taiIfng their fees and emoiuments and they call upon them to enter into the fight to prevent its adoption.
 A, very appropriate resort for the Birmingham opposition. It shows such deep interest In the welfare whose selfish interest Is inspired by the opportunity to mulct every dollar possible out of the pocket of the peo- pie. to unite them in preventing cit- zens from exercising their choice in the selection of their officials. We wish them joy of such allies of this class that they can seduce from their self respect.

"It is astonishing" remarked we'll known authority or Diseases of the skin, how such large number of peo- pie, especially ladies, are by attractive ly written advertisements, induced to purchase some of the many so called Beauty Creams now on the market, not knowing of course that they most ly contain oly or greasy substances that clog the pores of the skin and are for that reason the very worst things that they could possibly use. My treat ment of Pimples, Blackheads, Blotch- es and all eruptions of the skin, are as follows and has invariably proved very successful. Wash the face carefully every night before retiring with warm water and a little oatmeal tied up in a small cloth bag, then after drying well. use the following inexpensive and perfectly harmless prescription which can be filled at any Drug Store. Clearola aoz. Ether oz. Alcohol ' ozs. Use this mixture on the face as often as possible during the day, but use night and morning anyway, allow ing it to remain on the face at least ten minutes, then the powdery film may be wiped off. Do not wash the face for some little time after using. By following this simple treament, you will soon have clear and Brilliant Complexion.
