before had involved Lincoln in a dueIing
scrape with State Auditor James Shields

his wife had something 10 dc with il: she.

ECZEMA A GERM DISEASE.
| Myriads of Microscopic Animals infest
the Skin of the Sufferer.

Myriads of Microscopic Animals lnfest
the Skin of the Sufferer.
When the skin of an eczema suf-
ferer itches and burns in untold agony,
do you know what is going on within
the pores of that skin?
Wyriads of microscopic animals are
gnawing at the flesh, breaking down
the fine cells and causing testers,
thick scales and that terrible itch. The
germs multiply faster than Nature
can throw them off.
Now, there is only one way to get
rid of these germs-they must be
killed in their lodging places. Dosing
the stomach or trying to cure the
blood will not, of course, kill the
germs, and that is why all the blood
remedies fail in eczema; that is also
why salves which do not penetrate
can do no permanent good

be the same as the official queries
for IS.
DR.. w. w. Hickman, of Noxpater,
a member of the board recently ap-
pointed and serving his first term at
member of the examing body,
arose and made a statement in which
he frankly stated that, in coming here
on the train with his brother, who is
among the applicants, he spent some
time quizing him in questions in gen.
eral, and that among the questions
asked him were some of those includ-
ed in the official list. He disclaimed
any knowledge, however, that they
were to be the official questions, and
is bourne out by the fact that the ques-
tons were not prepared until after
tn members reached Jackson, a ses-
sion of the board having been held
Monday for that purpose. DR.. Hick-
man was eXonerated of any blame in
connection with the leak, and the
board is looking elsewhere for the in
side facts.
The board of health will thoroughly
probe the matter to the bottom, and
in all probability there will be some
later developments fully as sensational
as those developed today.
Some of the applicants who had
spent more than a whole day on the
examinations, withdrew in disgust af-
ter-the calling off of the examinations,
and could not be induced to take the
matter up again.

A SQUARE DEAL
AND
A SQUARE MEAL

Here's a square deal for the people
who can't eat a square meal without
after pain and distress.
Go to Hays & Field today and get a
box of Mona tablets; the great pre-
scription for indigestion and stom-
ach troubles.
Take one, or if your suffering is in
tense. two tablets with or after meals
and at the end of ten days if you
cant eat a square meal without dis
tress go to Hays & Field and get your
money back,
That's where the square deal comes
in.
But Mona is really a stomach
upbulder of great merit; every day
the makers receive more than a dozen
letters from grateful people which
state that after they had lost all
hope Mona cured.
The quick and positive action of Mi
o-na on the stomach in case OF gas
water-brash, sour stomach and heart
burn is worth a lot of money to any
sufferer.
Why not try Mona at Hays & Field
risk. Fifty cents buys large box.

BANKER PRAISES
WAREHOUSE PLAN
FARMERS UNION GIVEN CREDIT
FOR DOING GREAT WORK.
President of Birmingham Bank Says
Cotton Does Not Have To Be
Rushed to Market Now Be-
cause of Warehouses.

MOBILE, Ala, May 13.-The conven-
onti of the Alabama Bankers Associa.
ton met in their seventeenth annual
session in Mobile with a large num-
Der of prominent bankers from all
parts of the state in attendance Pres
ident w. P. G. Harding, of Birming-
ham, is presiding over the convention,
which will extend over two days. The
bankers will discuss the needs of spe-
cial legislation by Alabama for an
increase of state bank examiners to
insure a closer stae supervision. They
will also discuss the guarantee of
deposits and the postal savings banks.
In his address President Harding
urged that the banks can finance the
holding of the cotton for slower and
more profitable marketing. The GUS
tomary rush of cotton to the market
he said, is not now so necessary as
formerly, because of the establishment
of warehouses for its holding. He gave
credit to the Farmers Union for the
development of the warehouse plan
A difference of two cents a pound il
the price of cotton, he said, made g
difference of $12,000,OO0 a year in the
money circulation of Alabama.

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'

cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost Of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.
