CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Discovery Has RevoIutionized the
 Treatment of Skin Diseases-

Nexv DfscOyery Has RevoIutiOnixed the
 Treatment of Skin Diseases.
 Nothing in the history of medicine has sver approached the success of the mar velous skin remedy known as poslam, which, it is safe to say, has cured more cases of eczema and skin diseases than any remedy ever offered for these ills.
 The success of poslam is not at all surprising when 1t is considered that the skin stops itching immediately and cures chronic cases in two weeks. The very worst cases of eczema, as well as acne. herpes, letter, piles salt rheum, rash crusted humors, sealy scalp and every form of itch yield to 1t readily. R1emishes such as pimples. red noses, muddy and inf1amed skin disappear al- most immediately when poslam Is ap- plied. the complexion being cleared over night.
 Every druggist keeps both the 5O-eent size flor minor troubles) and the $2 jar, and either of these may be obtained in Birmingham at Jacobs Pharmacy as well as other reliable drug stores.
 But no one is even asked to purchase poslam without first obtaining an ex- perimental package which will be sent bv mail, free of charge, upon request. by the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twenty-ffth street, New York city.

SnSley, June o--tSpeclal. )-N NOtWith- standing local issues much interest is be- ing taken in the bond issue election and from indications the issue will carry by a substantial majority. Fergus W. Me- Carthy, the prominent attorney and for mer clerk of the circuit court, in dis cussing the issue, said: "I am in fa- vor of the bond issue for several req sons. The first is the present jail and courthouse are inadequate for the grow ing needs of the county. The public rec ords are unsafe in the event of fire, while the jail Is a blot on the fair name of Jefferson county. I do not mean to crit icize the present county officials, as believe they are doing the best they can under existing conditions. The bond is- tions and give the county what 1t needs and must have sooner or later. more mod ern and commodious quarters
 Then again the time is opportune to build. When times are dull the build ing of needed improvements means en- ployment for labor and materially helps to tide over hard times by the circulation of the money paid as wages. The building of the proposed structures would give employment to several hundred skilled mechanics for at least six months. The benefit this would give is too apparent to be discussed. sincerely hope the bon issue will carry. I know from personal experience the present quarters have out grown their usefulness
 The bonded debt of Jefferson county is very small for such a populous and wealthy county and the additional ls sue would not burden or work a hard ship on any one."

death he was survived by a widow
and two daughters.
Maj. Darlington came under the
jurisdiction of the insular courts as q
result Of his transfer for temporary
duty from the Twenty-frst infantry
to the command of a battalion of
Filipino scouts. He commanded this
battalion at the time it was brought
to st. Louis in 1903, to take part in
the exposition.
The charges against him were
based on financial operations which
took place at that time. Many of his
brother officers insisted that the diff
ficulties in which he became involved
were the result of carelessness rather
than criminal intent The evidence
against him, however, was sufficient
to cause his court-martial and conse-
quent dismissal from the army. His
conviction by the courts of the islands
was followed by Imprisonment in
Bilabid prison.
During his incarceration, Mrs. Car.
rington and her daughters, through
the efforts of influential friends, Sc
cured positions in some of the gov
