A KNOCKOUT BLOW
DEALT IN ALABAMA
STATE WIDE PROHIBITION CON.
TINGENT A COMPLETE FAIL.
URE-LOcAL OPTION BILL.

Montgomery. Ala, Feb. 23.-The
Parks local option bill on the liquor
question was passed by the Alabama
senate practically in the same form
as 1t came from the house.
The action of the senate puts an end
to statewide prohibition in Alabama,
which thousands declare has been a
complete failure.
Never in the history of the state
has there been such wholesale viola
tion of law as that which has charac-
terized the situation since the state
wide prohibition law became opera
tive.
Merchants and the police authori-
ties are rejoicing.
At no time since the prohibition law
has become effective has it been diff
cult to obtain intoxicating liquor, it is
declared.
The prohibitionists made a hard
fight In the house last week against
the Parks bill, and again today in the
senate.
A companion bill, providing the
manner in which liquors and beers are
to be sold, is to be introduced, and it
will carry through both branches Of
the legislature.
The vote in the senate today in ia
vor of the Parks bill was 90 to ~.

BLOOD TROUBLES
CONSTITUTIONAL INFECTION

Constitutional Blood Poison is the
most insidious OF all diseases. It
begins in an insignificant manner,
usually the appearance Of tiny sore
being the only outward evidence of its
presence. But down in the blood the
treacherous infection is at work, and
in short time its chain of symptoms
begin to crop out. The mouth and
throat ulcerate, skin eruptions break
out, sores and ulcers appear on the
body, the glands in the groin swell,
and sometimes the hair comes out.
Mineral medicines cannot cure Con-
stitutional Blood Poison; they only
shut the disease up in the system to
shoulder and await an opportunity of
breaking out afresh. The only pos
sible way to cure the disease is to
REMOVE the germs from the blood.
S. S. S. goes into the blood, and while
removing the infection makes the
blood pure, fresh and healthy. This
