CURES PIMPLES EASILY
Simple Remedy That Clears Skin
 Quickly of All Eruptions.

For several weeks past The Lee & Osgood Co. have done a, big business in selling Holzara, the skin healer that has won so many friends in Norwich.
 It has been found to heal not only all minor skin troubles, such as pim- pies, blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion b1emishes, itching rect, piles. etc, but also the worst sores, ulcers, or even chronic eczema and salt rheun. There is yet to be found any form of wound or disease affecting the skin or mucous membrane that Hokara does not help, and it's action is so quick mat those who try it are simply de- lighted with it right from the start.
 In spite of its unusual curative pow CTS. the price is trif1ing. To convince every one of it's merits, The Lee & Osgood Co. will sell a liberal sized jar for 25c. And remember that if you do not think it does what it claims, you can get your money back. You cer- talnly can afford to try it on this plan.

 South

That the dog show to be given at the Alabama State fair under the auspices of the Birmingham Kennel club will be the biggest ever given in the south is the statement of the committee having the matter in charge
 The premium list is in the hands of Jack Riddle, secretary of the club, and shows an array of trophies and prizes never equalled in value or number by any kennel club show ever held south of the Mason and Dixon line.
 w. s. Scott. chairman of the general committee in charge, states that the pros- poets are very bright for a big show, as already over 400 entries are in sight. In this connection it is stated that there will be large number of entries from Atlanta and other southern cities. The Atlanta dog fanciers are coming to Bir- ningham for revenge for at the last dog show held in Atlanta the Brming- ham dogs carried away the majority of the prizes and honors.
 The premium list and class of entries for the dog show are printed in the of- ficial programme of the Alabama State fair The dog show building has been renovated and enlarged and local fanciers assert that it is among the most com modious and up to date building for this purpose in the country.
 The committee states that many en- tries will be made from other states, which will lend much interest in the show. as dogs with championship records throughout the country are included among the entries

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Municipal Docks on the Warrior

Ta the Editor of The Age-Herald;
 Cur city fathers seem to have over
 <ed a source of revenue at our very
 rs which would fill the depleted city
 sasury. Let us extend the limits of pi mingham to the Warrior river and
 Id municipal docks. The fleets of
 os on the Warrior would pay big .naaey for the privilege of docking in fhe city limits of Birmingham, tho elaat mart of trade of the south. Witt fhis enormous increase in its revenue the city could reopen its public library ca Sunday, re-establish the playgrounds fn6 have enough policemen to guard fi palatial summer homes of the bil- lonaires that will be built along the highway to the Warrior. The city Of New York derives sufficient revenue from its docking privileges to support Tammany Hall in ease. if not in af- fluence. The extension of Birmin gham's 2 limits to the Warrior will be an eN- tension no greater than that made when we became Greater Birmingham Let us progress from the comparative to the superlative degree, Greater Bir- mingham will be a city of national im- portance, for the government cannot make up it's crop report until 1t hears from the farmers in our city limits Now is the suspicious time to expand for the legislature. which took so much whisky out of our city, will surely al low us the privilege of turning the waters of the Warrior into our midst. v D.
