 You can enjoy it. You can digest it. All that is needed is to give nature the juices she lacks, to give the stomach a chance to remove the terrible irritating acids, alkalies and gases which turn food and nourishment into gas and decomposi- tion.

 CHIEF OF POLICE
Canadian Officer Poisoned by Weeds Eczema Developed and Legs Became ScaIy- Ankles were Very Sore and Itchy - For Weeks He Could Not Wear Shoes.
FREED FROM ITCHING
 BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

'tI have been successfully cured of dry eczema. I was inspecting the re- moval of noxious weeds it being part of my duty, from the edge of river and was constantly in the dust from the weeds. At night shook out my trou- sers and cleansed my limbs, but felt prickly sensation. I paid no attention to it for two years, but noticed a scum on my legs like fish scales. I could scrape it off, and yet did not attend to it until it came to be too itchy and sore and began getting two running sores. My ankles were all sore and scabby and could not wear shoes. had to use carpet and felt slippers for weeks. I was then on particular police duty and was compelled to be on duty. I got cake of the Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment. In less than ten days I could put on my boots and in less than three weeks, though on duty all the time, was free from the con founded itching. I tell you frankly that Cuticura saved me from what the doctors called bad leg. Capt. George P. Bliss, Chief of Police, Morris, Mani toba, Mar. 20, 1907, and Sept. 24, 190s."

 toria Clayton.

Eufaula, February 9.-6special)- The ladies of St. James Episcopal church here held an interesting me- morial service at the Clayton home on Browder street yesterday afternoon commemorative of the anniversary of the death of Mrs. Victoria Clayton.

All during her connec- tion with the church here shewas an untiring worker in it's upbuilding and evidences of her unceasing energy can be seen in developments that assert themselves on all sides. The family have all followed her good example and her taking away was perhaps as keenly missed as any member of it. She was a most tender and lovable woman, adored by all classes and creeds.

AN ITCHING PALM
No Cure for It.. other Forms of Itching
 Preferable.

There is no cure for an itching palm --the money kind. Even poslam, the new skin discovery, cannot help it. But when 1t comes to eczema, the most annoying of itching skin troubles, poslam will stop the itching at once and cure the worst cases in few days. So with hives, rash. scabies, split toes, piles, and scaly scalp, all of which are different forms of eczema, accompanied bv severe itching and caused by im- perfect digestion and careless diet
 Polsam comes in g jars, but 5oe worth will answer in curing any of inc diseases mentioned. It can be had of any druggist. Jacobs Pharmacy makes a speciality of it.
 That results are immediate will be amply demonstrated overnight by the use of the experimental sample which the Emergency Laboratories, 92 West Twenty fifth street, New York city will send free by mail, in plain wrapper, to any one who will write for 1t.

Keeps Bowels
 Open; Free

There is no function of the human body so important as keeping the bow els open. Upon the condition of the bowels more than upon any other one thing depends the health and well being of the entire system. There is scarcely a sickness that has not got constipation and stomach trouble with it. It Is at the bottom of most of the serious diseases of life.
 Every grown up human being ought to have at least one full and easy evacuation of the bowels every "A hours. But unfortunately there are thousands who do not get this. No matter what is the nature or cause of their constipation and no matter how chronic and long standing it is. they will not find a better cure than the well known Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pep sin. So confident are the dispensers of this wonderful laXa tive that it will cure any case of constipation in young or old that they will send free test bottle to anyone who sends name and address to Br. Caldwell.
 The sample will do for any consti- pated person what it did for Mrs. w. D. Fuller of Eaton Rapids. Mich. for MT. J. r. Edwards of Lebanon Tenn. and a host of others in all sections the sample they will do as Mrs. Full Ter and MT. Edwards did. which is to go to the nearest drug store and buy a regular bottle, which costs 30 cents or s1 according to the size. pr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin is not a tablet. or powder, but liquid laxative tonic, which is what a good constipation rem edy should be. Thousands. who once sent for the free test bottle. now have pr.

AVONDALE IS NOT
 OF BIRMINGHAM Mountain Terrace Is Key To
 Situation CLERK BROWNS WORK Blame for Invaldation of Laws Passed Upon Cannot Be Laid to the Door
 of This Official of the
 House.

Montgomery, February 9-(Special.)- Once again is the Greater Birmingham question at the front of the court stage, the supreme tribunal of the state having held that the town of Avondale, Ward 10, of the city, is not part of the city at all. An election was held last Novem- Der a year ago to annex Mountain Ter race to Avondale. This failed. Another was held April 20, 1908, to annex Mountain Terrace to Birmingham, which carried. This has been declared illegal because held in less than six months after the first.
 As result the election of June s, an nexing Avondale to Birmingham, was il- legal, according to MT. Justice Mcclellan. II. l.. Martin, who went to the council from Avondale is declared not entitled to represent the territory, in that there is no place for 1t in the council of Birming- ham The complication arose out of the fact that while the election to annex to AVondale in November and to annex Avondale in June, there were six mopths' time it was impossible to annex Avon dale to Birmingham without taking in the territory of Mountain Terrace, which lies between and which had held the election less than six months prior to June s.
 In the case of Miller Vs. Herman, from the Mobile law court it Is held that the justices of the peace of the county have no jurisdiction.
 In the case of the city of Anniston vs. the county of Calhoun the court again holds that the law by which part of the road fund is to go the cities is uneonsti- tutional.
 The attack made by Troy, Watts X fletcher on the new prohibition act will be argued Thursday before the supreme court on appeal from Selma. The records are now in the hands of the clerk of the supreme court An effort was made to force the probate judge to issue license to sell liquor and on application for man. damus it failed. Appeal on this Is brought to the court, and it is thought that the case will be out in a few days after the call of the docket in April

Masons Like Montgomery.

It is said that nine-tenths of the Masons of the state would like to have the new home for widows and orphans located here. At the same time Montgomery is making no effort to land it. It means the expenditure of at least $100000 on building and s10,00o a year on mainten- ance. As the temple is located here and the grand lodge is always held in Mont gomery. the members as rule would like to have the home at the same place. This would make oversight very much easier and less expensive.

Will Pave the Streets.

All obstacles have been removed that would delay the paving of Broad and Waters streets of Selma. The in- ability of the Selma Street and Su burban railway to expend the large sum required of them for the pur- pose has been the stumbling block in the way of beginning work for some time. This obstacle has been removed by the road having been sold, to whom it is not yet known, but last night the city council passed certain ordin- ances asking for to establish the legal status of the road as relating to it's franchise, but before doing so the mayor exacted a forfeit of $500 to be paid if the street railway failed to do all things required by the city in the matter of paving the streets.
