HAIR REMOVERS
 ARE DANGEROUS
pr. Wertenbaker Says:-"Don't Use
 Poisonous Depllatories."

In treating superfuous hair it is of vital importance that the agent to be employed emp should be absolutely non because if it Is not so with frequent use 1t. will produce eczema or blood poisoning. The trouble with the ma Jority of ladies Is that they don't do a little thinking for themselves. When an assertion is made by some unre- liable concern they take 1t as gospel truth. They never consider the relia- bility, neither do they question or ask for any substAntiating proof that a preparation is non-poisonous. They seem to think that the bare word of the manufacturer Is sufficient. To the contrary, ladies should be most partic- ular in choosing hair remover and learn first what reputable authorities know about 1t.
 Dr. Wertenbaker, the prominent phy- to my patients, Don't use poisonous depi1atorfes, because they are bound to do harm. have found De Miracle to be absolutely non poisonous, antiseptio and germicidal; therefore, on account of these qualities, it Is distinctly bene- ficial to the skin and under no cir cumstances can 1t produce eczema or blood poisoning. I have used the prep aration in my practice for a numb CT of years and find that the principle of it's ch emical and physiological ac- tion is correct. I consider 1t the only satisfactory method for the removal of superf1uous hair.'"
 Better take a doctors advice. Don't be deceived with the fake free treat ments which are advertised so exten- sively in the newspapers. Remem- Der, after you have used worthless con coctions it will be harder to remove the hair; therefore, isn't it better to investigate all hair removers first, be- fore you try any of them?
 We will send you absolutely free in plain sealed envelope a 54-page booklet containing full Information concerning this remarkable treat ment, as well as testimonials of prom inent physicians, surgeons, dermatol- cipal magazines. You should read this booklet before you try anything. 1t treats the subject exhaustively. Write to the DE MIRACLE CHEMICAL CO.,, Desk 94, 1905 Park avenue, New York, simply saying you want this book let, and 1t Will be mailed sealed at once.

 boats and the quaint cottages of the fisher folk. One that she calls Low Tide. q sunny, fresh little scene whose central motif is a little white boat, is particularly alluring. Another. also made last summer. is called "A Breezy Morn ins, and depicts a young girl in a sum- mer frock and with wind-bown hair and san-dazzled eyes strolling along a Prov incetown lane.
 A little rough sketch which is yet un- framed is the one which her fellow artists admire most. It's name explains it-"An Old Woman Smoking Then there is another Of Mss Mclaughlin in a paint apron and with the artistic surroundings clearly indicated. Miss Mclaughlin also painted in Provineetown, as did Miss Eloise Montgomery. and they have a number of sketches that beautifully com memorate their study. An interior view of a isherman's hut, painted by Miss Me- Loughlin, is admirable with it's soft brown tones.
 Miss Dryer was a pupil last summer of the celebrated artist, Charles N. Flaw thorne. who has a summer home in Prov incetown. She studied a few years ago in the New York School of Arts for four winters and regards that period of her work as extremely beneficial The impar tiality of criticism and the superiority of the work demanded by the masters, she says, made it splendid a'aing. Before going there she WAS q pupil of Miss Lu- tie Sharpe. now Mrs. Arthur Eastwood of Cleveland and afterwards of her sis- ter. Miss Ethel Sharpe, now Mrs. Albert Lynn of Pittsburg. both Of whom were artists of talent and finish, and thus gave her her superb groundwork for all that was to follow.
 Miss Dryer has not yet perfected her plans for the summer. She has thought of going to Blowing Rock with Miss Rumph to study in the studio of Dan- gerfield, with whom Miss Rumph did such creditable work last summer. but it is probable that she will return 10 Prov ineetown, where she believes the best ad- vantages may be gained through a con- tinuation of work with MT. Hawthorne.

Taa Day April F.

Tag day, which was instituted a year ago In Birmingham, has become recog- razed as public celebration and promises to be as popular this year as last, when almost every man, woman or child seen on the streets wore a tag, and some times many of them.
 The Boys club in whose behalf the tags are sold, is perhaps the least under stood philanthropy in the city. It Is fre- quently confused with the Boys Indus trial school, which is penal institution. The Boys club, on the contrary, Is do- ing preventive work-trying to take the boy of the street and make good citizen of him. A visit to the clubrooms on Sec- ond avenue, which are the haunt of a number of manly little fellows, will inter est anyone who discusses the work with the superintendent, MT. Maurice Willows. Some of the most prominent of Birming- ham women are interested in the work and giving of their efforts to help the boys of Birmingham. The board of con- trol includes Mrs. James Weatherly, pres ident; Mrs. w. L. Murdoch, secretary; Mrs. W. B. Nesbitt. treasurer. Chapter No 1, Mrs. D. T. Shaw, president; Chap ter No. 2, Mrs E. M. Tkilby, president; Chapter No. 8, Mrs. Ed s. Moore. presi- dent.
 The aim of the work of the women and of the men who compose the advisory board they give as this: ITO cooperate with the home. the church, the city au- thorities and all public and private insti- tutions and individuals for the social bet terment and uplift of the children of our community-especially the boys
 The only means of raising funds for the support of the Boys club is the annual tag day, hence the whole community is urged to make it a great success. It is desired that every man, woman and child give something to help, and that all will know that their contribution, whether it be cents or $5, will be gratefully re- ceived.
 Every corner in the city will have work CTS from a. m. to 6 p. m., and automo- piles will be sent to meet the trains and visit the shops. A monster automobile parade will be held in the afternoon of that day, when several hundred autos will take part. It is hoped that they will all be decorated with Boys club flags, and that everyone, indeed, will be proud to wear the Boys club tag.
 The response of the Birmingham men last year was so gratifying that it is be- lieved a full measure of their assistance will again be offered. It is hoped that every woman will make up her mind to go to town April IF and will drop some thing into one of the little baskets.
 On First avenue and Twentieth street. Mrs Edna Snow Brown, Miss Alabama King and Miss Bigsby will be in charge. On Second and Twentieth there will be Mrs. Mark B. Lewis, Mrs. w. D. Nesbitt, Mrs. Hugh Starnes and the Highland Clan"
 Mrs. Mobley, Mrs. E. T. Shaw, Miss Brazeal and others will be found on Third avenue and Twentieth street At Loveman's corner Mrs. James Weatherly, .~~~>~-~-~-~-~~~~~~~

Mary A. CahaIan Memorial Library.
 The committee having in charge the raising of funds for the Mary A Cahalan Memorial library held an enthusiastic meeting at the Powell school on Thursday afternoon. The committee reported gen. erous responsesfo their appeals for funds for the library. Already nearly 2o0 has been subscribed and confidence Is felt that the $500 needed will be secured within very short time.
 The committee requests that every for nler patron and pupil of Powell school, as well as others who knew Miss Cahalan and loved her for her splendid work in behalf of childhood, send in & subscription to the library fundas early as possible.
 The effort to provide suitable literature for the children, many of whom are de- prlved of the pleasure of wholesome read ing in the home, is worthy of highest commendaton, and the Mary A. Cahalan Memorial library Is indeed a beautiful tribute to the memory of one whose life and character will ever be lovingly cher ished by those who knew her.
