TERRIBLE ITCHING
WITH R|NGW0RM
On ChiIdren's ScaIps. Hair Fell Out
in Round Spots. Scratched Till
Blood Came. Cuticura Soap and
Ointment Cured.

1545 Aisqlith ST., Baltimore, Md. -
My children were afflicted with what they
called ringworm of the scalp contracted
from house-cat they were playing With.
The ringworm formed on their scalps about
the size of a silver dollar and their hair fA,i
out, leaving a round scale or crust on theie
scalps. Their hair fell out in round spots.
There was terrible itching and they scratched
till the blood came. They were very fretful
and could not sleep at night and they were
very cross.
"They were treated for several months
with no improvement whatsoever. Instead
of improving they were getting worse and
the ringworm was spreading and getting
larger. / was told they would never have
any hair and would always be bald. Then
began using Cuticura Soap in connection
with Cuticura Ointment and the first week
l could see the wonderful remedies were
doing all they were claimed TO do and in six
weeks time they were entirely cured. They
all have beautiful growth Of hair"

REPORTED lacy IS
SEEN IN HONDURAS
BY FORMER SE[M|AN
Writer From Puerta COrtes
Refers to Him as Official
State Would Like
to See

Selma, September 11.-(Special.) )-From
information which became known here
today and which was received in letter
during the early part of the week there
IL no doubt but Theodore Lacy, default
ing chief clerk of the state convict de-
partment is now in Spanish Honduras.
In this letter the writer does not call
Lacy by name, but it is plainly inferred
that it was Lacy he met day OF two
before the letter was written in Puerta
Cortes The writer of the letter was Ar
thur w. Donnor, a former Selmian ana
locomotive engineer who knew Lacy well
when both lived in Selma.
Donnor left Selma several years ago
and recently has travelled throughout
Central America looking for work at his
calling. In his letter he calls the names
and speaks of several Selmians he has
met at different places in Central Amer
lea and closes by stating that day OF
so before in Puerta Cortes. he had met
a former well known Selmian that the
state officials would pay well to see.
so far as is known Theodore Lacy is
about the only former resident Of this
city that the state authorities would pay
handsomely to have returned to Alabama,
and it is believed Donnor referred to Lacy
when he spoke of the former Selmian.

|SALTER SHORTAGE
! PURELY TECHNICAL
COnecuh Treasurer Found
to Have Had Discrepancy
of $S7,387.59

Montgomery September 11.-(Special)
A technical shortage amounting to $751;
3S7. SO has been found in the books and
accounts of NJ. b. Salter. treasurer of
Conecuh county, according to report
filed with Governor ONeal by Examiner
of Public Accounts ]. T. German The
shortage occurred as the result OF the
illegal payment of warrants out of the
proceeds of bond sale, the bonds having
been issued for the Improvement and
maintenance of the roads of the county
Bonds to the extent of 100000 were is
sued in October, 1907 and We're sold In
June, 1908; January, 1909, and January,
1910, the proceeds of the three sales
amounting to $101 ,o55.M.
The commissioners court authorized the
probate judge to pay out money for the
| work on the roads, and this action was
held to be Illegal by the attorney gem
! eral. inasmuch as the resolution did not
| comply with sections 146 and 147 of the
F! code.
| The commissioners court subsequently
ratified the issuance and payment of war;
rants to the amount of s22,272 90 but
| failed to ratfy the proceeds of the bond
sale to the amount of ss7,3s7 50. the amount
of Treasurer Salter's technical shortage.
The discrepancy Is one that can easily
be adjusted, it is thought, and accrued
through error on the part of the county
commissioners
| Examiner German also filed a report
covering his examination of the officials
of Coneeuh county. Most of the accounts
were found to be in good shape. and prac-
tically all of the discrepancies We're set
tied before the reports We're filed.
| The examiner found that the state and
county owe Tax Collector w. SOLVER
$1,000. 4S and s1227.96 respectively The
overpayment of funds to the state and
county occurred as the result of an error
on the part of the tax assessor.

Large Quantity of Whisky
A negro known as Red was soon
captured and in his house was found
large quantity of the stolen whisky
and upon examination by the detectives
| Red" confessed and gave the names
of the gang who had done the stealing,
and their address What followed until
the early hours of this morning almost
bordered on the edge of tragedy as a
large number of negro houses We're
surrounded and searched, and the dan
ger was not unheeded by the men. In
the search of the negro houses most
of the stolen liquor was recovered.
The recovery of the liquor was con-
sidered very important as it was felt
by the detectives that with such q
large amount of liquor loose among
the negroes the homicidal figures Of
jefferson county would show an ala rm-
ing increase in the next few days.
It was a picturesque scene in the
| railroad yards about 2 o'clock yester :
day morning. The lowering of the
bell in the Sloss furnace revealed for
the moment a glimpse in the darkness
of nearly dozen grim men with drawn
pistols edging silently toward a negro
shack in the Sloss quarters. The same
scene was repeated a number of times
as the negroes were not captured until
daylight.
Activity of Car Thieves
In police circles it is felt that desper-
ate measures should be taken to curb
the activities OF the ear thieves as now
they are more active than ever in the
history of Birmingham. There is not a
night that passes but what several
freight cars are broken into and the
contents stolen. The special agents
seem woASle to cope with the situation
and are continually calling for aid by
the police department, who seem to
i have few expert car thief catchers in
the persons of Moser, Tyler Warren
and Darnell.
It is estinaed by the police that the
railroads il Birmingham alone lose
| over 100000 a year by the depreda-
| tions uf car robbers and 1t is also a
| fact that several human lives are sac
rificed yearly because of the activities
| of car thieves.

Pacific coast. They still continue to
win The last place they played at was
San Francisco.
Brown, the big Navy guard, who was
picked last fall for an All-Amercan po-

though
Yale has but five men enrolled at the
college, who have won letters in two
sports. They are Cornell, Cornish, Pun
pelly, Talbot and Wheeler.
Jimmy Craig, the star Western ath-
lete, is once more in football togs and
preparing for place on the Michigan
eleven. Craig's absence has been sorely
felt all season, especially in the Michi-
gan Aggies game last Saturday.
According to verbal statement of
local party, George V. Brown the promi-
nent B. A. A. man. places Larry Whit
ney of Dartmouth higher in his esti-
nation as a football player than Charles
Brickley of Harvard. The only points
by which Briekley's playing overshadows
that of the Olympic athlete is in kick
ing. He thinks that Whitney strikes
line harder and is more difficult to
tackle than the Crimson star, and also
asserts that there is almost no com
parison to them on the defense, Whitney
having a great advantage Whitney is
a far better punter than the former
Everett high star.

this can be done will be reaveled by
Mr.. Godinez in his lecture at Rowland
hail on next Thursday, Oct. 80. He has
no lamps or globes to sell, and none to
recommend. He tells the cold facts
about lighting. Plain, hard truths which
have offended more than one manufac-
turer who had at heart his own, rather
than the public welfare. He shows how
wonderful lighting effects can be OBJ
tanned from ordinary material which
everyone has on hand. The lighting of
the display window and shop can be
transformed and made of the greatest
attraction, by following the suggestions
which Mr.. Godinez viii give. He will
speak of lighting the home and how
different lights make the face appear
old or young, as the case may be. The
danger of too bright lights on the eyes
and how to make glaring lights subdued
and restful to tired eyes is shown by
foreeful experiment. Mr.. Godinez does
not carry carefully prepared apparatus
to give color to his experiments, but
uses extemporaneous equipment which is
familiar to all and can be duplicated
by anyone who desires to carry out the
valuable suggestions in their own home,
office or display window. Barre people
who have met Mr.. Godinez are enthusi-
astic over what his coming will mean
to Barre, and are all to attend with
their families. This affair must not be
confused with the demonstration of the
lamp or reflector salesman. Mr.. God
inez is not affiliated with manufactur-
ers, being an independent factor in the
lighting field. He is the only author
ity on lighting who has been recog-
nized universally by architects and dec
orators, evidenced by the fact that in
the Architectural Record, the monthly
publication subscribed to by all lead
ing architects and decorators, there is
appearing series of articles entitled
"What Do We Know About Lighting?"
which have created sensation in the
profession. Mr.. Godinez is
not professor or 'theorist' and deals
with cold, hard facts, facts WI ~ he
has determined from thousands of light
ing applications which he has made in
all parts of this country. 1t is to be
hoped that a large and representative

nounces a Complimentary Address.

"In accordance with the policy of Ten
ney service, the Consolidated Lighting
company has retained the services Of
the most widely known expert in mat
tiers of lighting. The gentleman in ques-
ton Fir. Laurent Godinez, is recognized
by those most competent to judge the
effect of lighting, as the foremost in
all that the term art and science of il
Elimination applies. By his attitude re-
garding lighting, Mr. Godinez has become
a unique figure in the embroglio sur
rounding the manufacturer, distributor
and consumer of gas or electric energy

inez has much to say about ways and

benefit to the consumer, in that he is
enabled through their use to actually
trace some cash returns to the customer
Through lighting which was so attrac
tive and different, in that it attracted
attention, and was productive of adver-
ltising value. Mr.. Godinez maintains
that the engineer has been too narrow
ly educated to even comprehend the pos
sibilities of lighting. which require nat
ural aesthetic tendencies, and broad
education. The Illuminating engineer or
lamp and reflector salesman, has directed
attention TO the things which to the en-
gineer seem of the most importance, in
tensity, and uniformity of lighting. They
have neglected to consider the more vi
tai consideration of 'effect' and sap
pearance," and what to the merchant is

j. e., does the lighting attract atten-
ton? Is it different from the common
place? In other words, the iIluminat
ing engineer is obliged to recommend
the globes and shades which he is sell
ing, as salesman, even if they are I'M
desirable. There is no good reason why
every store should be lighted exactly
like every other store, except that, peo-
pie have unthinkingly allowed them
selves to be led into a rut, from which
they must emerge if they desire any
of the wonderful advantages which at
