 ;sl Inducements.

Before leaving next week on his Flu ropean trip. R. L. Bake of the Big CuriO Store would like to close out his stock of Mexican drawn work on terms that will be irresistible to patrons This is the genuine Mexican drawn work and the best of the genuine. It is manufactured by the sisters of the Convent of Guadllajara from whose product for the last twenty years Mir. Bake has taken his choice His lnnl- experience has enabled ninI to choose the best
 On his return from Europe he will come by the way of Vera Cruz and will make his annual visit to Guadalajara for the supply for next season. This drawn work is not to be compared with the sO-called Japanese drawn work which is not drawn work at al! but a very clever imitation. It is machine made as those who are familiar with drawn work will detect at a glance. Making drawn work is a work of art There is nothing artistic about the Japanese production.
 If one takes two pieces of Japanese "'Ih' UT 'le same attlcie ana lays one. over the other he will find that they are exactly alike, they fit to the thread and even the stitch. That is a proof of their spuriOusness, just as in a case in court when two witnesses tell an intricate story in exactly the same de- tails, it is certain 10 be false and con cOcted

 Hands Entirely We'll.

1T can truthfully say Cutic,ra Reme- dies have cured me ofsfour long years of eczema. About four years ago l noticed some little pimples coming on my little finger, and not giving it any, attention. it soon became worse and spread all over my hands. If 1 would have them in water for a long time, they would burn like fire and large cracks would come. 1 could Lay pin in them. After using all the sal yes could think of, went to three different doctors, but all did me no good. Inc only relief I got was scratching
 .'So after hearing so much about the wonderful Cutioura Remedies. l PW- chased one complete set, and after using them three days my hands were much better. To-day my hands are entirely well, one set being all used. tSlgneol Miss Eta Narber. R. F. D. 7, Sprng Lake, Mich., Sept. 26, 1910.
 No stronger evidence than this coulo be given of the success and economy oi the Cuticura Remedies in the treatment of torturng, disfguring humors oi the skin.

PULLMAN HAVING
 SUSPICIOUS FIRES

Cullman, June 20.-(Special.) )--Cullman
 was the scene of another fire last night
 which resulted in the entire loss to the
 residence and it's contents belonging to
 MT. Phillips in West Cullman. The
 origin of the fire Is unknown, but it is
 presumed that the building caught from
 the explosion of a lamp which was in
 one of the rooms. The residence with its entire contents, with the exception of sewing machine, was completely de- stroyed The house and furniture both are said to have been fully covered by in- surance.
 During the time that the fire company was fighting the fire at the Phillips home another blaze broke out in the old build ing formerly used by Frank Arndt as a saloon, which has recently been used by Walto Cato for soft drink place. This building was also covered by insur- ance.
 The frequency with which these fires are occurring is creating considerable suspicion in the minds of many people, and the manner and places in which they have occurred so frequently of late have given rise to a belief that some of the fires have occurred from incendiary origin and 1t is said that it is quite probable that an investigation will be
 made by some of the insurance com panies having the insurance on this class of property N7

Gadsden, June 2o-(Special)-At the meeting of the city council last night 1t was unanimously decided that. some ac- tion must be taken to bring about some form of meat inspection in this city.
