War Declared
Catarrh Germs Must Be Conquered Q
 Health Will He Destroyed

If you have catarrh you must van uuish an army of persistent, destruc- tive microbes before you can get rid of it.
 You might as well choose your weap- ons, declare war and annihilate this army of catarrh germs right now. Stomach dosing won't kill them; neither will sprays or douches. HYOMET, a pleasant, antiseptic, germ destroying air breathed over the en- tire membrane will put catarrh germs out of business in short order HYOMEI (pronounce it High -o-me) is guaranteed by Norton's drug store to end catarrh, asthma, bronchitis, coughs, colds and croup, or money back. If you own little HYOMEI
 hard rubber pocket inhaler you can get a separate bottle of HYOMEI for only 50 cents If you haven't an in-
 haler buy complete outfit that only costs s1.00.

MAYOR W|KLE 0F
 ANN|STON HERE Talks Prosperity and Puts in Good Word for
 Underwood

Dr. J. l.. Wikle, mayor druggists and pioneer citizen of Anniston, was in Bir- mingham for few hours yesterday. Dr.. Wikle always talks Interestingly of An niston-of its growth from the begin ming, its ups and downs-and is always conservatively enthusiastic about the Model City. Incidentally he always has a good word to say for Birmingham.
 Birmingham continues to move along with rapid strides" he said. "The nat ural resources of the district. climatic conditions and the modern hustle of its citizens all go to form whole which ad- vanced commercialism cannot resist. It Is great city now, and while things are bound to come up which may seem to give it a temporary setback, all will eventually work out for the best, and the city will become greater just so sure as the days move on."
 In speaking of the Model City Dr. Wikle said: "The time has come when the bus- ness interests of Anniston cease to depend upon the operation of any one plant for sustenance. Additions to those factories and plants which have been in operation for years have about brought the payrolls of the district up to what they were when the car works ran full time, and altogether business is above normal.
 Tt is well known fact that cast iron pipe can be made in Anniston cheaper than in any other, section of the coun- try, the percentage of loss being held down to minimum tnere. and all of our plants are going full blast. Figures show that on the average a train load of pipe is shipped out of Anniston daily. We of the Model City are healthy and happy"
 Dr. Wilkes enthusiasm over the pros- poets and fitness of oscar w. Underwood for President is shown in the remark: 'I will vote for him and pull for him as hard as can, both before and after his nomination. There can be no comparison between his policies and Wilson's isms' "

 The accident causing MT. Tarphy's death was peculiar, in that 1t is seldom heard of. MT. Tarphy had bathed his body and rubbed himself down with wood alcohol, when the alcohol became ignited by his standing close to grate fire.

Men are queer. Wouldn't there
|be a roar when they went home to
their meals if they had to climb up
ON a high stool in front of table
on which there was no table cloth
and eat their meals in that fashion?
Yet the majority of men when they
go to a restaurant will pick out the
high stool and the feed board with
no cloth on it in preference to
comfortable chair with cloth-cover-
ed table. A man will borrow
chew of tobacco and most of them
set their teeth into a plug where
some other man has gnawed off a

he would holler his head off. At
home he will not drink out of

One OF the evils OF our present
taxation system is the probabilities
of unequal assessed valuations. Ii
is so easy TO favor this land own
er or that land owner because of in
fluence he may possess, and no one
Will be the wiser unless he goes TO
the trouble OF investigating the rec
ords OF the assessors office. Scarce
ly one in a thousand ever does this.
A remedy for this evil II found in
Senate bill No 33 which has been
introduced by Senator Mitchell of
Nee Perez county. The remedy is
worded as follows:
Each assessor of the various
counties within the state shall. upon
the completion OF the assessment roll
publish for at least one issue In a
newspaper to be designated by the
county commissioners within the
county, certified copy of the as
sessment roll The said publication |,
shall be completed before the day \
prescribed by law for the equaliza-
tion of said assessment roll"
Let the search light of publicity /
be turned upon the assessment roll II
before 1t Is equalized so every land
owner In the county will know what
taxes his neighbor is paying and II
the assessments are not justly APP
portioned there will be such a howl
raised before the board of equalza-
uon that the din of IL will fill the
assessors ears until his office shall
become burden to him. The rea-
son there is not more protest now
over unequal assessments is because
property owners have no way OF
knowing on what basis his neigh bon
are being assessed.
And knowing that his assessments
were TO be published would cause
every assessor 10 be much more care
iul in his work. and would give Inn
mediate relief to the many unequal
assessments now made In the state.
Senate bill No 80 also provides
for the publication OF notices from
sheriffs' offices. probate courts, dis
uict courts, and inferior courts OF
cities and villages, school districts.
irrigation districts and all other pub
lie or quasi-public corporations or
offices, and OF official election bal
lots, acts and proceedings OF the
boards OF trustees and councils OF
the various municipalities. irrigation
districts and school districts. on the
ground that the public is entitled to
know the details OF the business and
expenditure OF money transacted ant
expended for the public The theory
is that the more publicity given to
public affairs the better service will
the public get from public officers.
