Successful Complexion
 Renewing Treatment
(Journal of Hygiene)

A treatment for sallow, muddy or blotchy complexions that is always suc- cessful is the nightly application of plain mercolizedi wax for from one to two weeks. This method is sure to sue ceed for the simple reason that 1t liter ally takes off and discards the old complexion. The mercolide in the wax possesses the peculiar property of ab- |sorbing the wornout, faded or discolored surface skin, with all its imperfections. This is done so gradually, the skin com- ing off a little each day, in fine, almost invisible particles, that no incon- veniences or discomfort Is experienced
 and the most careful observer cannot detect the use of this treatment.
 The mercolized wax, which can be had at any drug store. is applied the same as cold cream, but not rubbed in, and washed off in the morning. The new complexion produced in this way, ex- hibiting the true beauty of health, is not to be compared with the kind made by cosmetics.

INVITES GOVERNOR TO BE PRES ENT TO HEAR ADDRESS HE WILL MAKE NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT

Taking for his subject "Emmet O'Neal, Who is He, and What He Is,' Col. Pey- ton G. Bowman, who has often been des- ignated as the Storm Petrel of Alabama Politics." has announced that he has rented the Jefferson theater for next Tuesday night and will make an address which he promises will be interesting.
 Colonel Bowman has invited Governor O'Neal to be present on the occasion and has extended him the opportunity to make reply.
 The formal announcement of Colonel Bowman is as follows: "On Tuesday, No vember A. at the Jefferson theater in the city of Birmingham I will address the public on the subject: 'Emmet O'Neal. Who is He. and What He Is, and hereby tender his excellency an invita-

 tion to be present on that occasion and hear my reply to his slanderous letter just received by me- wherein he sees fit to remove me from the office of tax com missioner of Jefferson county"
 As will be remembered. Governor ONeal removed Colonel Bowman from the office of back tax commissioner last Saturday and in an open letter stated his reasons for so doing, charging irregularities in the conduct of his office and with re- oeiving money from an appointee to pub lie office.
 The removal of Colonel Bowman from his office was the result of investigations made by the governor through examiner of public accounts, H. Y. Brooke, and while there were many rumors as to the removal the governors announcement caused quite sensation, not only in Jeff ferson county but throughout the state.
 The close friendship heretofore existing between the governor and Colonel Bow man will make what the latter has to say of unusual interest and the theater will probably be packed next Tuesday night
