FOR PIMPLES, TOO
New Discovery Cures Eczema and Eradlcates Minor Skin Troubles
 Over Nioht

About a month ago the dispensers or poslam. the new discovery for the cure of eczema, decided to allow the druggists of the country to handle 1t. Previous to that time it could only be obtained direct from the laboratories.
 Since this change in the method of distribution, poslam has met with the most phenomenal success of anything in- troduced to the drug trade in the last SO years. All leading druggists, including Jacobs Pharmacy, in Birmingham, are now carrying the special 50-cent size re- gently adopted, also the s2 jar.
 This great success is not surprising when it is remembered that, in eczema cases, poslam stops the itching with first application, proceeds to heal Immediately, and cures chronic cases in a few weeks. In minor skin troubles such as pimples' blackheads, acne herpes. blotches. rash, etc, results show after an overnight ap- plication. Experimental samples of pos lam are sent to anyone by mail free of charge, by the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twerty-fifth street, New York City

"CAST YOUR BREAD
 UPON THE WATERS"

Plymouth, Mass. July 1s.-A cup of coffee given by one woman to another in a Boston railroad station years ago has been rewarded by gift of $30O0.
 Mrs. B. Lil1ey wealthy New York woman, is the benefactor. The good Sa- maritan was Mrs. Harvey Bartlett of Wellingsley.
 Mrs Bartlett was in the railroad sta- tion when an elderly woman, a total stranger to her, attracted her attention The latter appeared to be i'll. Mrs. Bact- lett quickly slipped out to the lunch room and got cup of hot coffee. The woman she had succored did not forget her. On the following Christmas she sent Mrs. Bartlett a box of pretty gifts and since then has remembered her with many presents.
 climax in her gratitude was reached the other day when she sent Mrs. Bart lett s9Oo0 in good paying stocks in Now York manufaetory, and gave her the op- tion of disposing of the shares at their cash value or keeping them for the per cent dividends they will pay.

SOME WEEKEND GOSSIP
 OF THE STATE CAPITOL
By HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, July 1S.-Cspecial)- Although it may be treason to say so, the thoughtful man is compelled to note that much of the sentiment that has brought about the primary system in the elections of Alabama is begin ming to fall away There seems to be no question In the minds of the people that the system of direct voting is the best means of reaching the will of tho citizens, but In state and district nom- mating elections the expenses run so high that a poor man Is practically precluded from offering for office. It Is also a fact that an effort will be discussed, If not actually pushed in a vigorous way, to bring about rep resentation in the party based upon actual voting strength rather than population, as has heretofore been the case. Under the present system the black belt counties with small per cent of white voters are given larger representation than white counties win practically all their strength in white voters. This has been tried two or three times within the past few years and met failure but great many poli- ticians now believe that it will go through before the next general cleo tion.
 Actual Voting Strength.
 The primary system as applied 10 the state and congressional districts is maintained largely because it gives representation based on the actual voting strength of the party and not upon the population, as was the case under the old plan. In other words with the primary system the vote of each man counts for what it is wortc. whereas under the old idea with the population basis a large white voting county would go up to the convention with less strength than a negro county with only a small per cent of whi . population.
 A great many politicians are now advocating the county primary with conventions to make district and state nominations. It Is argued by these that counties can hold their primaries and elect their delegates direct, these delegates representing the wishes f the voters as whole. This wou l eliminate the enormous expense ac count incident to holding state and district primaries, and at the same time give expression to the actual will os the people as whole. Naturally there is going to be a great deal of oppos- tion to any change, but it is a fact that many men are now arguing tha the present system is wrong in that .s leaves the state offices practically for rich men alone. Even the most ardenr advocates of the general primary idea will, when penned down agree that the expense feature Is enough of evil to make the system undesirable in a large measure.
 This situation is aptly illustrated ir the Second district where a plurality primary has just been ordered for th nomination of congressman. It is es- timated that allowing managers and clerks only $1 day, the expense ac count will be about $2400. This means $500 apiece for the four men an nounced and $4O0 for the one candidate out for the short time. To this must

minister because there does not seem 10 be any overwhelming majority in sym pathy with them.
 The Lusk Appointment.
 The appointment of John A. Lusk of Marshall as a member of the railroad commission has caused a great many people to criticize the governor With out intent to reflect either one way or the other in this correspondence, 1t can be truthfully said that there Is a great feel ing of opposition to the Marshall states man in all parts of the state. This grows in a large measure out of the vigorous fight against the railroads as a leader in the state senate. He at all times ap- proved and indorsed the anti-railroad leg- islation, and sought to have 1t understood ever that he believed the railroads had a whole lot of trouble coming to them.
 However, there is another side to the situation, and that Is that there does not seem anything else for the governor to have done with pressure brought to bear on him to make the appointment. For several years Mir. Lusk has stood loyalty by the chief executive, and has aided in his ambitions not only at all times and under all circumstances, but in a rema rlS- ably efficient way So 1t was that in any contest for place where MT. Lusk was party the governor could hardly have been expected to have acted other than as he did
 There is also this to be said: While MT. Lusk is pugnacious in his disposition, ready at all times to enter into conflict. he is a man of attainments, a lawyer of ability, and citizen of patriotic im- pulses. This being so, it is anticipated that he will endeavor as a member of the railroad commission to secure the very best results for all concerned.
 The present commission is now, and has been for some time laboring for ami- cable relations between the carriers and the people, and it is not expected that even if he wanted to, Mir. Lusk would be able to disturb this disposition on the part of the organization. Friends of the new appointee assert that it will be his purpose to cooperate with the other members of the commission in bringing about a condition of affairs that will pe best for all the business interests of the state. While here this week MT. Lusk expressed himself along this line, and indicated his intention to serve to the best of his ability the commercial and shipping interests of the state in his new public position.

Thousands Drowned In Flood

Constantinople, July 1S-The recent fnundation in the vicinity of Tokat, Asia Minor, were apparently more seri- ous than was at first reported. Details are still lacking, but according to a private letter received here from Sam sun, on the Black sea, total of 2OOO persons lost their lives, including 300 prisoners, who were caught by the flood in jail and drowned. Six hun dred army recruits who had assembled in the court yard of the government house at Tokat are said to have been engulfed by the flood. Only 100 of them got away with their lives.

, be added the expense of going over the nine counties of the district, which wlil bring the total cost to any man who makes the race up to several thousand dollars. The result has been to bring about a whole lot of talk in opposition to the primary system and to indure 2 many men to look carefully into the idea that county primaries with ,lS- trict and state conventions will, after all, be the best solution of the situa- tion.
 Work for Prohibition.
 The prohibition interests in the state are just now largely centered on the de- velopment of a sentiment for the passage of a national anti-shipping law. In most of the congressional districts the candi- dates are being touched up along this line In the Second district where there is considerable of contest on for the place held by the late A. A. Wiley each candi- date has been called upon to come out and state his position. This call came from Dr. W. B. Crumpton. president of the Alabama Anti-Saloon league, and he is frankly asking that everyone who of- fers for the peoples preference say what he expects to do about this matter.
 In the main the candidates seem to be fully in line with a proposition of this
 
 during the last session, and he was sup ported especially by MT Hef1in, and in a measure by all the other members of the delegation It is proposed if possible to secure the enactment of law that will make it impossible for one state to ship ,, liquors into another state where the lat ter has prohibition in effect.
 Does Prohibition Prohibit. Already there is much talk among the lawmakers of the state with regard to the effectiveness of the prohibition legislation recently enacted. It is an undisputed fact that Mobile has made little or no at- tempt to enforce the early closing laws, and reports from Birmingham are to the effect that whether it is admitted or not, there is a great deal of illicit sale of intoxicants of several kinds. This, of course, Is indefinite in it's nature. but all most without exception the impression prevails that the law is not observed to anything like It's full extent in the in- dustrial districts.
 It is also contended that the spirit of the early closing act is not we'll kept in many other cities of the state. While the saloons are all closed at o'clock in Montgomery, one frequently hears it said that something to drink can be had after the hour if a man knows how to get if Like the Birmingham reports, this, of course, is of such nature that it would be difficult to prove.
 However, the whole thing serves to in- dicate that while there was what ap- peared to be an insistent demand for the enactment of prohibition legislation. it does not seem to be fact that the peo- pie are supporting the officers In an en deavor to enforce the laws. While there are frequent arrests in Montgomery, for of S1 M there have been few charges made for failure to keep the early closing regula- tions. Which serves to illustrate, say those who have paid more or less atteu- ton to the situation, that the laws against the sale of intoxicants are hard to ad-
