ITCHING SKIN?
 DOCTOR THE SKIN.
People Drinking Medicine for the Blood to Cure Eczema Waste Their
 Time and Money.

When your face is dirty and grimy, you don't drink water to cleanse it. You wash your face with water and you keep your face clean by washing it with water.
 Eczema, psoriasis, salt rheum, barber S itch and like skin afflictions are similar to dirt and grime in that they are caused by parasitic germs upon the skin. These diseases cannot be cured by drinking medicine any more than you can cleanse your face by drinking water. Cleanse the skin of these germs by applying the remedy right where the disease exists and the skin becomes white and smooth again.
 Every druggist sells simple oil of winter green, properly compounded with other soothing vegetable remedies in D. D. D. Prescription, as a positive specific for killing the bacilli and germs in Il skin. This D. D. D. remedy is not sticky concoction or a smeary paste. It is a liquid external wash, as easy and simple to use as water. It is applied right where the itch and sore it. Used with D. D. D. Soap, it is bound to cure. The first ap- plication brings instant relief-you will know this the minute you apply the remedy-and the skin once cured, stays cured in nearly all cases. Get rid of that itch right now-today.

 Promising Features RIDGELEY) WILL SPEAK Former Comptroller of the Currency of
.RIDGELEY> WILL SPEAK
Former Comptroller of the Currency of the United States Will Discuss "LegisIatlon and Revival
 of Business"

Montgomery, April 18.-(Special.)- The programme of the 1908 meeting of the Alabama Bankers association, to be held in Montgomery May 15 and 16, Is said to presage the best meeting ever held, as it contains many features of far-reaching importance. The leading item is the address of former Comp troller of the Currency ". B. Ridgeley who will have a paper on Legislation and Revival of Business"
 The welcoming addresses will be made as follows: On the part of the city, c. E. Moritz; on the part of the clearing house, Robert F. Ligon of the directors of the First National bank. John Frye of the Traders National bank of Birmingham will respond. Tom o. Smith of the Birmingham Trust and Savings bank will talk of Side Lights on Banking" Chappelle Cory of the same bank will report for the legis- latiye committee.
 A feature of the discussion will be that of financing cotton holdings and giving aid to farmers to take care of crops. Only a few days ago an ar engagement was made by officers of the Cotton association and the Farmers union by which local banks agreed to finance the holding of what cotton is left in the hands of those who need aid. Little has been said about it for the reason that the contract was in tended to apply only to meritorious cases and others might prove annoy ing.
 The first day of the session will be held at the New Exchange hotel, tNe second at Jackson lake, where an old fashioned country barbecue will be pre- sented. Chairman Louis Farley of the entertainment committee says that this is to be one of the greatest exhibi- tions of the old meat cooking ways that the guests of the association have ever seen.

Ll0HTNlNG'S QUEER FREAKS.
Dog Killed In Lap Of Painter Who
Escapes Uninjured.

Many strange freaks of lightning
are reported from a recent storm,
says a Clayton. N. J.. dispatch to the
Philadelphia Record. While a man
was painting sign at Landisville a
frightened dog jumped on his lap. A
streak of lightning encircled the mans
neck, passed down to the dog and
killed 1t instantly. The sign painter
was blinded for about three minutes,
but felt no other effects of the light
ming after his sight had returned to
him.
The bolt that struck Walter Keen
made hole through the floor directly
under his foot, but did not make the
slightest mark upon the rug. A win
dow pane, 80 by SO inches, in the Keen
house was taken out by the lightning
and stood up against a walnut tree
without cracking the glass. the light
ming having melted the putty and
glaciers points.
A tree In North Clayton was struck
by ball which appeared as big as a
barrel and stripped entirely Of its
leaves without otherwise injuring the
tree. A tin can at the McWilliams
house was shaped by the lightning
like an accordion plated skirt. A bolt
OF lightning filled Harry Essler's eel
lar with dense smoke, but made no
marks whence 1t came or whittier 1t
went. Lightning jumped from wire
fence surrounding a poultry yard and
gave Mrs. Francis Hill a shock from
which she has not yet fully recovered.

A LONG GOLF DRIVE.
James Braid Made 1t in 1905, But the
Ground Was Frozen.

In an photographed sketch at the
end of his new book on golf James
Braid tells of his longest drive.
$50 far as / can recollect," he
writes, 1T was in 1905, when playing
. round at Walton Heath with Mr..
Riddell. The course was frostbound
and the wind was at our backs when
We were playing the fifteenth hole,
and / hit my tee shot a distance of
3s5 yards, carefully calculated after
ward.
"Of course you can drive a ball
wonderful distances when the turf
is frozen, and such a feat as this is
nc test OF ones general capacity, but,
on the other hand, it was so cold that
could scarcely grip my club, and |
feel sure that If could have held
it properly 1 should that day have
driven very much further.
AT the eighteenth hole In the
same round / drove to the bunker
guarding the green, which was an.
other drive Of nearly the same length.
As to what distances 1 have driven
under normal conditions / really do
not know.
Once when I was playing a match
against Harry Vardon, at Hythe,
made a carry which was generally re-
marked upon at the time as being
something very much out of the OF.

was the exact length of It,"

TEACHERS TRAINING SCHOOL
OPENED TUESDAY

The Wood County Teachers Train
ing School opened its sixth year of
work Tuesday with an enrolment of
sixty-three. Fully twenty-five more
young men and women who were
seeking admittance had to be turned
away as the present teaching force is
not large enough to properly handle
the same.
The graduates of the Wood County
Training School are meeting wonder
full success and giving splendid salts
faction where ever employed. OF the
twenty-five young men and women
who graduated last year, all are now
at work teaching in this and adjoining
counties. Not one of the graduates
was obliged to wait for school or
had any trouble in finding one. In
fact, it has been impossible for the
school to supply the demand made
upon it for trained teachers.
