 The Excell chorus, which has now the advantage of two years experience, will no doubt eclipse it's record of last year It has had systematic training, and has developed unusual enthusiasm. The thor ough organization has succeeded in bring ing out some of the best talent in .he city.

RYALL BACK FROM
 TRIP TO THE NORTH
Called on Governor Harmon, Who Spoke Very Highly of MT.
 Underwood

That the whole American nation was indebted to Oscar Underwood of Alabama for his wise leadership and serene judg- ment in statecraft was the sentiment ex- pressed by Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio to H. Scudder Ryall, secretary of the Birmingham commission as related by MT. Ryall upon his return to Birming- ham yesterday.
 While away on his vacation Mir. Ryall went to Chicago and attended munich pal exhibit after which he went to Co., lunbus, O., and called upon Governor Harmon.
 Governor Harmon told me that Mir. Underwood was one of the greatest men in the democratic party" said Mr. Ryali. He also said that the American people were indebted to Congressman Under- wood for his patriotic services at Wasn- ington. We talked for some time about Birmingham and Underwood Governor Harmon said he remembered many oiti- zens of Birmingham whom he met in this city While he was here some few years ago. He is a splendid commanding char acter and will render great services to this No"iitS Dcioic Hidiiy years nave passed.
 ''l was amazed to find that Birming- hams congressman was so widely known l was also surprised to ascertain that the leaders of both parties are taking his measure, being of the opinion thai Underwood will exercise great sway over the future destiny of the democratic party. The fact that the greatest men in the party are looking up the man. :n- dioates an interest which is sure to be valuable to MT. Underwood.
 Tn Chicago the municipal exhibit there of city forms was very educational. Nc one could look upon that proposition and hear the experts on civic betterment TX plain things and fail to get lot of in. formation.
 Tn New York met up with President Culpepper EXum who signed the city bonds last Thursday and they were de, posted with the designated trust com pany. He was seemingly very much ir. terested in getting the bond proposition closed up.

 Since the discovery that mercolized wax possesses remarkable absorbent powers when applied to the skin, the demand for 1t as complexion re- newer has been tremendous. Drug gists in every section report sales as far exceeding those of anything simi- lar they have ever had on their shelves.
 The mercolide in the wax, according to Prof. Hoffman, gently absorbs the devitalized cutile. in minute particles, so that the user gradually loses her old worn out complexion, the more youthful under skin taking it's place Cutaneous eruptions. blotches, moth patches. tan and freckles are of course. removed at the same time As mer- colized wax is entirely harmless and easy to use, women all over the coun- try are purchasing and using 1t to quickly rejuvenate their complexions. The wax is applied to face. neck or hands the same as cold cream, allowed to remain over night, then washed off with warm water.
