Other Information furnished also impressed Senator Burton very much and he asked that additional in- formation from Alabama cities be se- cured bearing upon the tonnage that could be furnished when the rivers of Alabama are adequately improved. he being particularly struck with the fact that this vast mineral wealth Is closer to tidewater than the deposits in other sections of the country.

A, Simple Hut Sure Method of Developing q weIl-Rounded

From New York Journal.
 It is a simple but sure method of developing the hMst, arms. neck. hips and shoulders of wo- men. who through some defect Of nutrition and circulation are for ever being humiliated by their more fortunate sisters. First. it must be understood that the hu- man skin is an enormous gland. richly endowed with nerves, se- cretfng and excreting organs. and network of minute blood vessels which contain at one time over one-thtrd of all the blood in the body-that is. if nature is perfect.
 The relation of the skin to the vital organs through the ner- vous system in controlling the blood supply is such as to put them as a team working togeth- CT.
 Get separately two ounces gly- cerine, three ounces of rosewater, one ounce tincture cadomene com pound (not cardamom) and s cents worth of borax. Mix the< glycerine with tincture cado- meme, shake and let stand two hours; then add a teaspoonful of borax and the rosewater. Apply to the parts needing development morning and night. rubbing until thoroughly absorbed: then wash of with hot water and soap and dry.
 It is believed by expert der matologists to be the most ef- fective prescription ever com ceived for the purpose.

Uncertain and indennite--such is still the political situation ten days after the overwhelming defeat of the pro- Nobody knows exactly what the situa- tion Is and every well informed man Is expecting some sort of a development at any time.
 It is now evident that the anti amendment leaders had no set program after the defeat of the amendment They were out to beat the amendment and when that was accomplished. they had to stop and ask each other. What next?'
 No positive program is before them and if a spring primary is to be had. It Is time all gubernatorial candidates should take notice. But most of the anti leaders, who are worn out with the exhaustive fight against the amendment are fervently hoping that the primary will be held in August and that they and the people of Alabama will be given rest for few months.
 It is evident that the friends of Hon Charles Henderson. President of the Railroad Commission. are keeping an alert eye on the situation. There were in town yesterday Senator John Gam. ble, J. E.. Henderson and E. R. Bran. non. of Pike County. Mir. Henderson Is a brother of the Railroad Commis. sioner. They all declared that there was no significance to their trip to the city, as they were in the city on busi. ness only. But when local politiciani are expecting political developments a any time the presence of three Pike County men who know the politica game gave rise to some discussion From the talk of these gentlemen with personal friends 1t can be safely sale that if President Henderson can D made to believe that the defenders wh. won the big victory wish him to be- come caiididate for, Governor he will enter the race.
