eyebrows and eyelashes entirely. We consulted
other doctors. used ointments and salyes sent us

days would act like poison, and increase this

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. THE
Carmichael prohibition biIl-far more
drastic than the present statutory
statewide prohibition law-whicn
passed the senate yesterday afternoon
by a vote of % to 2, and which now
awaits only the signature Of Alabama's
prohibition executive before becoming
the law. mas already scored a far
reaching effect so far as the operation
of locker clubs and near-beer saloons
are concerned. From all parts of the
state come reports that with the news
OF the passage OF the Carmichael bill,
near-beer saloons and clubs wherein
liquors have been dispensed to men,
bers under the locker system, were
dismantled and today the state is
almost as dry as 1t will ever be.
In Montgomery even social clubs of
the best class have been closed and
early in the afternoon the near-beer
men began to remove the drinkables
from places in anticipation of the
signing of the Carmichael bill by the
governor. With considerable wariness,
a few of the saloons arc disposing of
occasional bottles of the amber fluid
of the near" kind, but even those of
the quenchless thirst are extremely
cautions in attempting to secure drink
ables lest they, too, be caughe under
some one of the numerous sections of
the drastic new measure.
Governor Conner will probably not
sign the Carmichael bill until Monday
afternoon.
