Representative Stollenwerck of Mont- gomery has introduced another bill which will deprive Birmingham of revenue If 1t passes the legislature. It Is the bill regulating automobiles and if it becomes a law this city will be deprived of about $1o.ooo per year.
 License Collector J. J. Boggan, in talk ing of the pending measure as 1t now stands, said that Birmingham should awaken to the fact that the bill drawn by Mir. Stolenwerck limiting the taxa ton of common carriers had passe l, and now the bill by the same author seeking to lift the automobile revenue from the city would also endanger the city financially.

CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

II think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema | have
ever heard Of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on Its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
cash. He gave us medicine, but 1t did
no good. In a few days the head was
q solid mass, a running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle OF Cuticura Re-
solvent, a box Of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and APP
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
1t has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had a beau
tiful head Of hair. | think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
It makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 80 iaie
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti-
cura." Dept. IL l., Boston.

BEITRAMI $l,57l SCHOOL CASH
State Makes First $50, 900 Distribu
ton Under New Warner Law.

For the first time in Minnesota his
tory money from the general revenue
fund was sent cut Thursday to aid
common schools as provided by the
Warner bill, passed at the last SEES
sion Of the legislature. Fifty thous-
and dollars was appropriated to help
those districts where there are great
tracts of state land, untaxable and
where settlers have been unable to
maintain adequate schools
Complaint has been made that in
the sparsely settled districts land
owners contributed regularly to the
state school and road funds, getting
no return, and in many cases having
no schools. Representative War
ner's measure provided that the sum
awarded to each school for each acre
of state land, that not more than
$3.50 should be paid to any one dis
trict, and that no part of the appro-
priation shall be used to purchase a
site or erect school buildings.
When the money was apportioned
it was learned that $4,000 was not
enough to pay 5 cents an acre, so the
districts will receive sums computed
at the rate of cents an acre, but in
no case more than $3.50. sc - sEE~,--.s 49,.
