UNION STATION PLANS

Anniston. December 2S.-(Specia1. )-If gested by Rome, Ga, and Knoxville Tenn, there will be 8 meeting at an early date for the organization of tri- state baseball league to be composed of the cities Of Anniston, Rome, Cleveland, Gadsden, Huntsville and Knoxville as members.
 Knoxville fans are very much interested in this proposition and the meeting pro- posed will likely be held in that city, where, it is said, definite action will like ly be taken some time in the early part of January.
 At a recent meeting of Anniston fans the Anniston Baseball association was re- organized with E. D. willett as president. It was then proposed to organize a league to be composed of Anniston, Ox- ford, Talladega, Gadsden. Rome. and Cedartown, but no definite action has been taken and correspondence Is now under way in regard to the Rome K noxville proposition.
 The question of a better union station for Anniston will not down, and a plan has now been proposed for the erection of station at the foot of Tenth street. This, 1t is said, would obviate the neces- sity for the Southern's backing into the station. as now, would be in easy access of the Seaboard and Louisville and Nash vile and would make possible the clos ing Tenth street, which Is desired by the car plant company.

Ruskin on Art Critics,

because he had dared to question the
artistic excellence. in the matter of
proportion. of Michael Angeles MO
ses" in Rome. After the throwing was
over he asked: How often have you
seen it," "Oh. half a dozen times"
StOdart Walker answered with conf
dence IN his side as to the result of
such a reminder. Good heavens, -
Ruskin cried. mo man should dare
to give an opinion on any work of art
unless he has seen it every day for
six months" adding after a pause,

tongue II he has used his eyes ~ you

Fat Men Always Popular.

The fat man has long been emble-
matte Of mirth. The lanky wight Is
used as the symbol of freshness. This
distinction is not sound universally,
but probably has sound basis. Pop
ular always is the Brotherhood of Cor
pulence. Cheering is the tubby gentle
man. his round belly with good capon
lined" his globular being exuding
genially, his whole face palpitating
with the smile which in lesser men
ends at the lips, his gait perforce a
pompous waddle. A certain French
savant discourses learnedly on the pre-
else cause of this strut. and AYERS that
it is due to the drawing up of the dia-
phragm, the shortening of the base
of the thOrax, and the consequent
elOngation of the waist. This sounds
profound, but perhaps the pOrtly gait
is an inherent natural trait-akin. for
instance, to the pOssessor's intrepidity
in venturing into bathing suit or
trundling through the mazes of the
waltz.-COllier's Weekly.

MICROBES IN THE SCALP.

The Latest Explanation is That Mi
crobes Cause Badness.
Professor Unna of Hamburg, Germany
and DR.. Sabodrand of Paris, France,
share the honor Of having discovered the
hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through few
weeks work of these hair microbes, but
is the result of conditions brought about
by their presence. Badness Eay not
occur until years after the microbes be.
gan work, but it is certain to come sOon-
er or later. The microbes cut off the
blood supply. They feed on the fatty
matter about the root of the hair,
through which the blood is absorbed.
Finally the fatty matter is wholly con.
sumed. the food supply Of the hair is
gone and it starves and finally dies.

We want everyone who has any scalp
or hair trouble TO try Rexall ''93" Hair
Tonic, which contains all these ingre-
dents. If it does not grow hair ON your
bald head, stop your hair from falling
out; cure you of dandruff; make your
hair thick, eilky, luxuriant: if it does not
give you complete satisfaction in every
particular, return the empty bottle to US.
and We shall return every penny you
paid US for it, without question or form

OF course. you understand that when
We say that Rexall ''93" Hair Tonic will
grow hair on bald heads, We do not refer
to cases where the roofs are entirely
dead, the pores Of the scalp closed, and
the head has the shiny appearance Of
billiard ball. In cases like this, there is
no hope. In all other cases of badness
Rexall "93' Hair Tonic will positively
grow hair, or cost the user nothing.

Doctors Thick in New York.

The proportion of physicians to the
general population is probably great
er in New York city than anywhere
else in the country. In the United
States. for example. taking the esti-
mated population of the census bu-
reau for 1908 as a basis, there is one
licensed physician to every 700 per.
sons; in New York state there is one
to 672, and in New York city, one to
only 653.
1t has been estimated that the ply
stefan in general practice must have
clientele of $50 persons, or $50 fam
lilies, to support himself and his fam
lily in comfort, so if this estimate is
accurate the New York doctor is short
an average of 100 patients, and many
of course are further behind than
that.-Medical Record.
