Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and
 Fresh Every Day Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash
 out polsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, look well. What glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. ,
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise splitting [ headache, stuffy fros1 a cold, foul tonguA nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink glass of real hot water with a teaspOonful of limestone phosphate in 1t to wash from the StOm- ach, liver, kidneys and bowels the pre- vious days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire ali- mentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigor- ating. It cleans out all the sour fer raentation, gases, waste and acidity and gives one splendid appetite for break fast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are both cred with constipation. bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly compilations are urged to get quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little, but is efficient to make any one pronounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation.

Alabama are accustomed to jokers, spe-
 cial sections inserted at the eleventh
 hour Tn revenue bills to relieve corpora
 tions from licenses, to innocent looking
 measures which change the corporate limits of cities so as to leave the heaviest property owners just outside of the city limits and with manipulation of the laws, ln such way as to use the power of patronage as reward for future favors in exemption from taxation.
 Why was 1t, in days not long gone by, , that back tax commissioners, to whom accrued 10 per cent of all tax raises, had their actions nullified by the courts above them at the behests of committees of our heaviest property owners, while at the same time the governor of Alabama was protesting that these men were the biggest taX-dOdgers in the state and threatened to come to Jefferson county to take the stump against them in the interest of his equalization measures Why is it that after years of the op- eration of the back tax commission laws in face of the 10 per cent free, a corporation in Birmingham, owning 10 solid blocks of property worth at least $1OOOO,OO0, have been able to get by these back tax commissioners with an assess ment of $172.000? How is it that a firm of our wealthiest men can turn in eight solid blocks of the best business and resi- SNhASo most prominent corners in one of our most thriving suburbs at an assessment of $2S1, 250 and now I am informed that this assessment has been decreased. The tax books of Jefferson county are full of just such inequities and escapes as these from lid to lid and must the city of Birmingham stand by with folded
 hands, suffering in every one of her func- tions from inadequate revenues, and be told by the county board of equalization that they have no time to fool with the
 city of Birmingham? It may develop that the people of Birmingham will have something to say and I believe that when they do, they will not fool with anything or with anybody, but will be heard from in no uncertain terms. From the time of the first Tribunes of Rome until Agrarian laws were
 pa assed, there was only the lapse of a
 decade. In these days of a widespread political interest and rapid dissemination of information how much easier it will
 be to bring about a complete transforma- tion even in a shorter space of time i than this.

 only begun to fight Respectfully.

CONTRACTS ALREADY MADE FOR CHANGES WHICH WILL ADD MUCH TO STORES CON- VENIENCE AND ATTRACTIVE NESS

The Porter Clothing company announces that many important improvements will be made in the big First avenue store, and that contracts have already been let for the work. The entire plate glass front is to be taken out and a handsome new ves- tibule front is to be installed, which will be one of the most attractive in the south. This front will go back into the store a depth of 20 feet, with an additional large vestibule case, which will more than dou- ble the present glass front, thereby giv- ing room for large displays of all the de- partments.
 large, new, modern passenger eleva- tor is to be installed; the third floor, for merly used for tailoring and reserve stocks, will be converted into a handsome salesroom; the present stocks of the boys department and ladies shoes will be moved to the third floor On this floor the present furniture is to be taken out and new plate glass cases are to be installed for carrying the boys clothing; many

hand in the killing of Villipigue, caused all lodge buildings except one to be burned, 1t is said. The one that escaped fire was torn down by negroes to prevent nearby negro homes from being burned should it be set on fire.
 Sheriff Howell today ordered into cus- tody Charles Holmes, a negro reported by his father Jacob Holmes, to have become mentally deranged as the result of his cabin being burned when Grandson Goolsby took refuge in it.
 Many Alabama citizens from just across the state line, who rushed to the rescue of H. H. Grimsley last night when an er- roneous report was spread that his life was threatened by negroes, returned to their homes today Some, however, joined the searchers in the swamps.
 Two automobiles carrying men who sought the Goolsby negroes at or near Greenwood, Fla, returned tonight. The negroes had not been found

PORTER CLOTHING co. TO
 MAKE BIG IMPROVEMENTS


 other new fixtures are to be added on this floor, which will make this boys depart ment and ladies' shoe department com plete in every respect and modern in ev- cry particular.
 The entire second floor, 50x140,. will be devoted to the sale of mems clothing: new fixtures will be added on this floor, and all of the clothing carried in glass cabi- nets; all of the walls will be fitted with double deck revolving cabinets. while the center of the floor will be covered with plate glass revolving cabinets, giving a capacity of over 5000 suits. The first floor, now occupied by men s clothing, shoes, hats and furnishings, will be devoted entirely to mems furnishing goods, shoes and hats. This will practi- cally double each of these departments, and will make them the most complete departments of this kind in the entire south.
 The foregoing contracts not only mean that the building will be greatly improved with the new front, new ceilings and new elevator, new decorations and new light ing fixtures but will carry with it addi- tional handsome store fixtures, which will make it one of the most modern, and up- to-date ''mens stores' in the country. In addition to this, the firm will gain 50 per cent more selling space. These inn provements are to begin the latter part of January and will be completed and ready for the spring season. A good many ad- ditional salespeople will be employed to take care of the largely increased busi- ness the firm anticipates.

But this time it's to be better than ever because values are greater than ever, while stocks are larger, due to the demands of an increasing business. Among the many suits offered, you'll find those that have proved their worth to thousands of moth ers-even at regular prices. They are Bobby Blach and Prince Harold suits and here are the new prices.

CHARLESTON IS DRY

Charleston, s. C., January This city today, where for nearly 25O years liquor has been sold, started out the new year under a prohibition regime. Today local breweries, beer bottling establishments and liquor dispensaries are closed. The enforcement of phohi- bition is in the hands of the city police and the state liquor constables brought over from the dispensary regime. For - merly being paid out of the dispensary profits, the liquor constabulary is now to be paid from the governors emer- gency fund, it is understood.

FEELING DISPLAYED
 IN CONFERENCE WITH
 EQUALIZATION BODY
(COntinued from Page Five)

contend that they are the legally con- sttuted body to make the equalization and that they had no authority them selves nor had anyone else the author ity to call in outside help.
 The following signed statement was made last night by Commissioner Bar Der in reference to the conference:
 BARRIERS STATEMENT
 ''I am very much disappointed in the attitude of MT. Rosenstihl of the county beard of equalization, when he asserts that he has no time or disposition to fool with the city. It had been my hope that the city could furnish an expert to represent 1t, who would accompany the board on their missions of equaliza- ton and who would represent the city s interests, but it seems that this Is not to be.
 q was also surprised at the powerful lobby of wealthy real estate owners who came to the joint meeting this afternoon, but I was not surprised at the bouquets that this lobby threw at the board of equalization
 Taking MT. RosenstihPs word for it., it is very clear that the interests of the city of Birmingham are not to be con sidered by the, board of equalization. It would seem that the privileged powers of the state of Alabama are not satisfied with the outrageous exemptions made in their favor by the legislature of Alabama, but are determined still, by all the devil ous means known to their willy legal representatives, to keep the burden of the cost of government resting so oner- ously upon the necks of the plain people.

TUSCALOOSA

Tuscaloosa, January 1.-(Speciali--One hundred state convicts, leased by the Henderson Lumber company for work in it's big tract of timber in Tuscaloosa county, arrived in Tuscaloosa this morn ing at Il o'clock on special train over the Louisville and Nashville railroad from the state penitentary at Wetumpka. Most of the convicts were negroes.
 The final vote on the Birmingham tax amendment election was canvassed today and the results show that Tuscaloosa county voted 5S3 against the amendment and $40 in favor of the amendment The vote is said to be the lightest cast in Tus- caloosa county in many years.
 Messrs. w. D. Wade and Wallace Brothers, contractors, who recently built eight miles of model highway on the Crabbe and Greensboro roads, today en- tertained the public with barbecue. A number of local citizens attended, to- gether with the county officials. w. Simpson Keller, state highway engineer also attended.
