A LITTLE RED SPOT.
Novel Experiment by Which It May He
 Made To Disappear.


 A peculiar feature about poslam, the new skin discovery, is that no one is asked to buy 1t without first sending to the Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West Twenty-ffth street, New York city. for an experimental sample and applying same to an affected part of the skin. about the size of silver dollar It will clear the spot so treated in 24 hours-a remarkable visual demonstration of it's powers.
 While poslam has been mentioned prin- cipally in connection with the cure of eczema the most stubborn of skin dis eases, 1t must be remembered that when used for Itch, hives, pimples, blotches, acne, itching feet scaly scalp. chahng of infants and similar minor skin trou-' bles. it's action is all the more pro- nounced, results being seen after an over night application. As only a small amount of poslam Is necessa to cure such cases, a special flfty-cent package, usually suf- ficient, has been placed on sale at AJa- cobs' Pharmacy and otl leading drug stores in Birmingham and throughout the country.

Speedway from Birmingham to
 Montgomery
PARDON BOARD TO MEET
Session Will Run Over "Wednesday Specially and Hear Cases of Jesse and Isaac Shirley
 of Monroe County.

Montgomery June 26.-(Special.)- The movement, or rather suggestion, for pike or highway from Montgom- cry to Birmingham is creating interest in this section, and it Is thought that a definite move will be made in a few days to get 1t going. There is fine nucleus at this end for the road as well-built modern pike to the county line this side of Fillmore is being built The idea Is to have the road run via the most level route so as to get the best results for automobiles. The Montgomery Auto club is also consid- ering the movement.
 A man well acquainted with the route thinks that road for automobiles and buggies could be built without great cost, and in the main level. After passing Ca1era going north there is found much fine road and plenty of stone to be used for ballasting. There is also lot of iron ore dirt that pull verizes quickly and when packed makes a splendid surface. It is thought by those who are at all posted that a road from Birmingham to Montgomery could be built at a cost so low as to be as tonishing, and no doubt the car owners of the country would be glad to go in with the farmers and business men to put 1t through.

Goes After More.

'I am going back to the northwest this summer and will spend several weeks studying the habits of the birds in the wilds on their native heath. The climate there is very much like that of Alabama and l see no reason why they should not live and do well here. l intend to capture some more grouse alive to bring back with me The bird is very wild and hard to capture. But I am told that they are very much like the partridge in that they do not wander from one farm to another. They mate like the partridge and never wander far from their native grounds. If can get them started well I hope to be able to stock my place well with them
 Both the grouse and the pheasants are very prolific and l see no reason with our present game laws why Ala bama should not be filled with the best game birds in the country.
 Lime? Oh, the lime business Is picking up a little I guess, but, say, you must come down some time and see my birds. They are beauties-the finest you ever saw"
