Cause of Eczema Now Explained

Eczema, Psoriasis and other skin
troubles are caused by myriads of germs

tried but have been proven worthless,
for they only clog the pores and fail
utterly to remove the real cause Of the
disease.

done, they rapidly multiply, gnawing
their way deep into the sensitive tissue.
This is what causes that awful itch, and
what seemed a mere rash may grow
worse and develop into loathsome and
torturing skin disease with its years OF
misery.

remedies for skin trouble but have
never seen such remarkable cures as

them. OF course we will not absolutely
promise you that ODD. will cure you,

FINDS MYSTERY IN
CAUSE OF DEATH OF
GOODWATER DOCTOR
Body of DIR. w. A. Holloway
Disintered for Autopsy
at Suggestion of
Wiggins

The mysterious death of DR.. W. \.
Holloway of Goodwater, one of the
best known citizens of that place, has
almost been solved by Steve Virgins,
the new chief of detectives, who re-
turned home from his most recent in
vestigations of that case yesterday.
From his statements the case may go
down in the annals of crime as one of
the premier criminal affairs of this
state
The fact was disclosed yesterday that
Mr.. Virgins caused the remains of the
late DIR. Holloway to be taken from
the grave after a lapse of 81 days and
brought here for an autopsy which was
performed in Birmingham Thanksgiv-
ing Day by DIR. Graham at st. Vincent,s
hospital. DIR. Holloway was supposed to
have fallen from a trestle and been
killed. However, Mr. Virgins inyesti-
gated and caused the arrest of three
men.
When injured DR.. Holloway was sun-
posed to have accidentally fallen. How
ever, he fingered eight days and be-
fore death told his wife that he .hud
suffered a terriable blow and was
stamped on while lying down" That
excited suspicion while others. ii is
said, tried to lead Mrs. Holloway to
believe that it was a statement of A
delirious man.
Mr. Virgins found at the autopsy
that the spinal column was penetrated.
the backbone was broken. that the dead
man chest was a mass of clotted
blood and had bruises under the surface.
All of which he considered impossible

be arrested and the case when called

tional.

BIRMINGHAM MAN HONORED;
II. L. MILLER GRAND MASTER
AFTER MANY YEARS OF FAITH
: Full WORK HE Is ELECTED Of
FICIAL HEAD OF MASONIC
FRATERNITY OF STATE

For the third time in the past few years
Z a Birmingham man has been given the
highest honor in the gift of the Masonic
fraternity of the state of Alabama. AT
the recent session of the grand lodge of
Masons held at Montgomery, Henry
Clanton Miller was elected and installed
most worshipful grand master of the most
worshipful grand lodge of the state of
Alabama and its Masonic jurisdiction, and
is now the official head of the Masons
of the state. Mr.. Miller has earned his
way to the high distinction by years of
efficient and faithful work for the order
and the honor was well deserved.
The other Birmingham men who have
recently been similarly honored are Ben
M. Jacobs and Judge Dan e. Greene, who
retired in favor of Mr. Miller. There are
two other distinguished citizens who have
held the office of grand master of the
Masonic lodge, DR.. George M Morrow and
DIR. r. M. Cunningham. The four gentle-
men named served the grand lodge with
great distinction and contributed much to
the progress and prosperity of the or

Grand Master Miller was placed in line

he was elected by a great majority to the
office of grand Junior warden, which he
held for two years, and was regularly
promoted to senior grand warden and
deputy grand MASTER filling both offices
for term of two years each. Among
the many duties that will come before
the grand body will be the final compile
tion of the magnificent Masonic widows
and orphans home, which is the pride
Of every Mason in the state.
