FRICTION ARISES
 AMONG OFFICIALS Gadsden Mayor Objects to Evidence of the Plain
 Clothes Men

Gadsden, May -(Special)-There is friction between the mayor and the coun- cilmen of the city on the matter of polio ing the city. There are more viola tions of the liquor laws since the plain clothes officer was dispensed with and the aldermen are pretty unanimous in wanting to put such an officer on the force again. The mayor resists this &C., ton and gives as his reason that he believes that there Is too much manu- factured evidence in prosecutions secured in this way and that he will give testi- mony secured in this way small credence in his court. The mayor wants to in- crease the police force and to this the council objects because of the cost and because it is not apparent to them just how this would help in maintaining bet ter enforcement of the laws. The out come of the controversy Is being watched with interest.
 One of the best sales of real estate made in the city in some time was transfer made by the Harding syndi- cate of 50 feet adjoining the new bank on lower Broad street to Louis Lobeman and Robert L. Miller for consideration of Se000 It is understood that the pur- chasers intend improving the property in the near future. The location is a good one and will make a very desirable re- tail stand.
 The Gadsden Brick company, which for the past several years has been forced to find market outside the city for most of its product, is this season sell ing practically all of it's product at home. Several brick residences are in cor-se of construction and a number of business houses will be built during the season that will take the output of the plant for some months.
 After Investigating the death of Dr. Leonard at Attalla, which occurred yes terday at aboU' 3 o'clock, the coroner decided that he came to his death by his own hand. According to the informa- ton given by the people who were fa- miliar with him and his family, the doc tor has been Respondent for some time because his wife had refused to live with him longer.
 Some time ago Leonard took to drink ing and a result his wife took their two children and went to the home of her father in south Alabama. All the evil dence points to a premeditated self-de- struction In fact this action on his part was somewhat anticipated and some of his friends were keeping more or less of watch on him. His wife and her family have been ntoifed of the death and 1t is presumed that she will come and care for the body and direct what disposition shall be made of 1t.

tinue down to 5000 feet, or until a

FOR ITCHING SCALPS
DANDRUFF AND DRY,
THIN, FALLING HAIR
Cuticura Soap and Ointment Afford
a Speedy, Economical and
Agreeable Treatment.

To aiIay itching and irritation of the
scalp. prevent dry, thin and falling hair,
remove crusts, scales and dandruff, and
promote the growth and beauty Of the
hair of women, the following special
treatment has been found most effective.
On retiring, comb the hair out straight
all around, then begin at the side and
make parting, gently rubbing Cuticura
ointment into the parting with bit of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings about
half an inch apart until the whole scalp
has been treated, the purpose being to
get the ointment on the scalp skin
rather than on the hairs
The next morning, shampoo with
Cuticura soap and hot water. Shampoos
alone may be used as often as agreeable,
but for women's hair once or twice
month is generally sufficient for this
specsdl treatment Men may apply Cuti-
cura ointment as they would pomade
or in any other convenient way, prefer
ably at night, as often as necessary to
keep the scalp clean and the hair from
falling, but may shampoo lightly with
Cuticura soap every morning, when
making the toilet.
Notwithstanding that Cuticura soap
and ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers throughout the world, those
wishing to try this treatment may do
SO without expense by sending to
"Cuticura," Dept. q, Boston, for
free sample of each, with 32-p. book on
the care and treatment of skin and hair.
eft Is well to place a light covering over
the hair to protect the pillow from stain.
