PROHIBITIONISTS
 MEET IN JANUARY
Conference of Headquarters Commit tee Held Here Yesterday to Dis
 cuss Future Plans

The headquarters" committee of the Alabama Anti-Saloon league, in its meet ing yesterday. issued a call for con vention of members of the league for Montgomery January 26-27 next year.
 Inasmuch as the legislature will be In session at that time, the action of the committee was deemed of special si9nif- canoe. However, the members contend that the plan of the league is not to intim- idate lawmakers or to prevent them in their efforts to legislate constructively for the good of the state
 The meeting of the committee yester- day was the first since the sensational af- fair of some months ago. when certain members of the league were given an op- portunity to protest against the so-called vicious attacks of the Citizen, the pub lication of the league, against the demo- cratic leader in Congress, Oscar w. Un- derwood. There was considerable interest In the meeting, and wonder was expressed as to whether or not the demoralizing de. feat of the 'headquarters' committee fl Its support of R. F. Hobson was the prin. cipal topic of political discussion. Moth ing in this respect. however, was spoker following the conclusion of the meeting It was admitted, however, s'that a par of the regular business was consideration
 of plans of preparation for the meeting of the legislature

SINECURES WILL.
 PUT UP FIGHT AND
 HOLD TO THE JOBS
Continued from Page Five)

With difficulty can imagine the real sit uation. It is doubtful if more than half dozen men connected with the govern nent knows the actual state of affairs.
 Should all offices and departments be sacrificed, only comparatively small sum of money could be saved. It is doubt full if the legislature, by yielding the pruning knife, will be able to cut down the pay roll $50000 per annum. And $50, 600 per annum is scarcely to be compared with the proverbial drop in the bucket" The depleted treasury cannot be bene- fited by retrenchment save only in appro- priations. The power of the schools of the state is so great that it is with dif- ficuty that any appropriation is reduced. It is obvious. therefore, that the rem edy is the acquisition of more revenue. That result can obtain only through just and uniform taxation.
 Therefore, taxation is destined to be the big legislative subject in Alabama for the next four years. In evolving the prop CT plan, the different tax leagues" which are being formed will play an important part.
 But it is generally known that safety lies principally in the organization of the legislature by master hand, a hand powerful enough to drive through it's leg isla aton.
 The job of Charles Henderson will be one staggering in its significance. But if he makes the man who now escapes bear his burden and relieves the load of the other fellow and thus preserves the honor and credit of the state, he will have build ed himself monument more lasting than brass.
 But retrenchment through the abolition of few offices is impossible Some- one must find way to gather more reve- nue without making the burden of the in- diyidual citizen unbearable.

e At the recent show of the Atlanta Ken mel club, Hugh Scales, the local florist and dog fancier, carried away nearly all the prizes in the setter classes with his quin- tet of high breed setter dogs. The sum total of his winnings are four first prlzes' two winners prizes, three special prizes four second prizes, q silver cup gold medal and a five-dollar gold piece.
 His dogs were in competition with some of the best dogs in the country. and as the above will show they fairly walked away with everything in sight. MT. Scales is much elated over the success or his dogs. especially from the fact that he has bred and raised them himself. Wher asked the price of Puritan Nary" ths first prize winner he remarked, 'She IS not for sale. l do not raise dogs to sell but to keep"

HARRISON SPEAKS
 AT MONTEVALLO President of Southern Rail- way Has Faith in the
 South

Montevallo October I7.-(Special.)-At the celebration of the eighteenth birthday of the Alabama Girls Technical institute. Fairfax Harrison, president of the South ern Railway, delivered the address. on this trip MT. Harrison was accompanied by Messrs. l.. Sevier, C. N. Harris, J. T. Stokeley and Mr. Robert Jemison of Bir- mingham
 Mir. Harrison was introduced by Presi- dent Palmer after several musical num- bers were given by the school. The sub feet of his address was the Independent Woman" with some reference to her place in the development of Alabama and the south.
 Mir. Harrison, commenting upon the movement which has opened to women the field of endeavor that was formerly limited to men, said: Ut was generally considered that higher education and special training were privileges of mer alone and that their sisters should be con tent with a common school, or at most, 2 high school course, overlaid with thin veneer of polite accomplishments. In those times a school designed to equip a woman for self support and independ- ence could not have existed for the very good reason that its graduates could have made little practical use of their training.
 In commenting on the present situation MT. Harrison said: My faith in the south and in the ultimate destiny of the southern people is such that l look upon the present crisis brought about by the depression of the cotton market as re- suit of the war in Europe as a minor thing compared with the difficulties which the southern people have met and over come. It is being met with the courage and energy which have always character ized the south in times of stress and trial. It will be attended by much discomfort and some real distress calling for re- newed display of the southern spirit of self help. It will delay only temporarily the onward march of southern progress.

 MT.

A few days later the darkey came to MT. Seals place to do some work
 "Uncle, did you try the remedy for fleas I sugested?" asked Hugh.
 "Yassah' 'sDid you rub the dog with kerosene oil and place in front of the fire as told you?"
 "Yassah."

SAYS SULPHUR
 DRIVES ECZEMA
 FROM THE SKIN
Use like cold cream to in- stantly stop itching and
 clear the skin

Sulphur, says a renowned dermatolo- gist, just common bold sulphur made in- to a thick cream will soothe and heal the skin when irritated and broken out with Eczema or any form of eruption. The moment it is applied all itching ceases and after two or three applications the Eczema disappears, leaving the skin clear and smooth.
 He tells Eczema sufferers to get from any good pharmacy an ounce of bold-sul- phur and apply it to the irritated parts the same as you would any cold cream.
 For many years common bold-sulphur has occupied a secure position in the practice of dermatology and cutaneous affections by reason of it's parasite -de- stroying property. It Is not only para sitical, but also antipruritic, antiseptic and remarkably healing in all irritable and infiammatory conditions of the skin. While not always effecting a per. manent cure 1t never fails to instantly subdue the angry itching and irritation and heal the Eczema right up and il is often years later before any eruption again appears on the skin.

It is quite refreshing these days to read of . clearly defined treatment for lnfiuenza or La Grippe. In an article in the Lancet Clinic" Dr. James Bell, of New York City, rays he is convinced that too much medical tion is both unnecessary and injurious.
 When called to a case of la grippe, the uatient is usually seen when the fever is present, as the chill which occasionally ushers in the disease, has generally passed be opened freely with salts, "Actoids" or citrate of magnesia. For the high fever, severe headache, pain and general soreness. one Anti-kamnia Tablet every three hours is quickly followed by. complete relief. Ask for AK Tablets. They are also unex- oelled for headache, neuralgia and all pains.

 served. President Mulholland will be the
 guest of honor and the principal speaker
 It is announced this will be the regular business meeting and dress suits will not
 be in order.
 The programme will in all probability
 te very staid and dignified due to the
 fact that President Mulholland will make an address on the serious side of Rotary
 President Mulholland from here will go to Montgomery. thence to Mobile, thence tc Atlanta and thence to Jacksonville. Fla,
 where the convention of the Southeast ern Rotary clubs will be held October 27, at which meeting large delegation iron.

 To Exhibit Rotary Wheel
 The California Golden Rotary wheel
 will be on display all day next Thursday

 company. It is to be guarded all day by
 two policemen. It is made of pure gold, the large wheel measuring about IS inches across and the smaller wheels represent ing the clubs of the United States, there
 being a wheel for each club. The current number of Rotarygram ms. edited by Oliver Cox, speaks of President Mulholland as follows:
 You don't know how glad I am that Frank Mulholland is coming to visit us. which fact affords the opportunity to write him up in Rotarygrams Writing up you other fellows. who
 have never done anything, been or said anything, and never in your life trav- eled with brass bands ct al, gets awful
 monotonous, and I'm downright glad that we have this opportunity to write of a big fellow. (Excuse this little tribute to | our distinguished visitor.) Frank Mulholand, if you don't know 1 it, Is the biggest man in Rotary today The honor. or rather recognition I should say, came to him at the Houston con vention.
 "President Mulholland is a lawyer by profession, and an orator by the same token. His home town is Toledo, O. Aae | is civic booster, comparing even unto our oscar. In fact before he became ac- | quainted with Rotary he was reckoned the livest of all the wires In the Toledo | Chamber of Commerce. As president Of
 the Toledo Chamber of Commerce his ad- | minstration was marked by many move- ments of great benefit to that burg. l As I say. Mulholland is lawyer, and | he is a dandy speaker. He has the fervor l of Bob Ewing, the vocabulary of Dr. Ed 1 monds and the ease and grace of our own lawn Shelby. From which you are to understand that on the evening of Oc- l tober 9, when he speaks to us. 1t will be an oratory opportunity you don't want | to miss.
 | President Mulholland will visit Louis- | vile, Nashville, Mobile, Montgomery and Birmingham on this trip, winding up in
 Jacksonville for the big get-together | meeting.
 Here's our best wishes to him. May l ad m In fra i,, l the good things he hopes for. Enough? | Well, you know these lawyers are not l shrinking violets either about what they | want or the way they get it."
