 COOPERAGE PLANT
SMALL BUT BUSY INDUSTRY AT FORT PAYNE IS SERIOUSLY CRlPPLED-PLANT WILL BE RE- BUILT AT ONCE.

Fort Payne, May 26.-(Special )-The Alabama Cooperage plant at this place caught fire about o'clock Sunday night and in few hours was completely de- stroyed. As soon as the alarm was given the firemen responded promptly and did splendid work, but as the building was filled with such inflammable material 1t was impossible to put it2out. The drykilns were full of lumber, besides there were several carloads of finished barrel heads ready for shipment. The yards were also full of timber, which caught in many places. The blaze could be seen for miles and the heat was intense.
 This was one of the few industries in Fort Payne that has not been shut down on account of the panic, but has been running steady and giving employment to a number of hands.
 This loss will be felt keenly by not only the people of Fort Payne, but by the surrounding neighborhood, as it gave hauled stave timber, not only employing the men, but also their teams The loss is partially covered by insurance It is understood that the company will rebuild at once.

FOR PIMPLES, TOO
New Discovery Cures Eczema and Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles
 Over Niqht.

About a month ago the dispensers of poslam, the new discovery for the cure of eczema, decided to allow the druggists of the country to handle it. Previous to that time it could only be obtained direct from the laboratories.
 Since this change in the method or distribution, poslam has met with the most phenomenal success of anything in troduced to the drug trade in the last 30 years All leading druggists, including Jacobs Pharmacy, in Birmingham, are now carrying the special 5O-cent size re- gently adopted, also the $2 jar.
 This great success is not surprising when 1t is remem bered 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 Twenty-fifth street, New York City.
