GET RID OF HUMORS
Hoods SarsapariIla Is the Medicine
to Takc-Nalses Pure Blood.

Dry, moist, scaly letter, pimples
boils. ana other eruptions come from
humors, which may be either inherit.
ed, or acquired through defective di-
gestion and assimilation.
TO treat these eruptions with dry-
ing medicines is dangerous.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old relia-
BILE medicine, helps the system to dis
charge the humors, and improves the
digestion and assimilation.
Get Hoods Sarsaparilla from your
druggist. 1t may be confidently re-
lied upon TO do its work. 1t purifies
the blood, tones the stomach, ana
builds up the whole system. 1t goes
to the roots of diseases, and its bene-
fetal results are permanent. 1t sets
things to rights in the system. Re
member to ask for Hoods Sarsaparil-
la, because nothing else acts like it
and nothing else can take its place

As to Candidates.
Also let there be no decisions re-
garding the wishes Of A. b. McMillen.
He wants the city 70 take over his

like Albuquerque will consume every
dollar Of profit for an indefinite
number OF years and all he can gain
from the ownership is in the in
creased value OF the plant.
Such properties are for people who
have large amounts of surplus money
upon which they are glad to be able
to realize per cent. II will be re-
called that Colonel sellers is rather
closely associated in business with
Mr.. McMillen and that it was Colonel
Sellers who first proposed a bond Is

favor OF municipal ownership was one

KING OF GREECE
WILL TRY AGAIN
TO FORM CABINET
Government Ministers Re-
sign in Body Following
Meeting of Crown
Council

Athens, October 4.-(via London.)
King Constantine presided over the crown
council held at the palace this morn
ing to consider written opinions of the
situation submitted by each minister, to
which the minister's resignation was APP
pended, to be accepted in case the
opinions were unsatisfactory to the
monarch.
The minister of the interior, Loucas
Roufas, the minister of communications,
Lysandre Kaftandjoglou and the minis
ter of justice, M. Vokotopoulos, opposed
Greeces entry into the war
The King promptly accepted the resig-

SCHOOL. AMENDMENT
is |NDORSEDB JELKS
Former Governor Says Its
Adoption Would Give Ed
ucational Impetus

w D. Jelks, former governor of Ala
bama, heartily favors the educational
amendment which will be submitted to
the voters of the state at the general
election in November.
In statement yesterday, he declared
that the proposed amendment, if adopted,
will give us an educational impetus in
this state of which we are sorely in need 4"
Education, he asserts, is power in every
form of endeavor. and he feels sure that
when the people of Alabama understand
the deficiencies of the states educa-
tional advantages and opportunities, they
will vote the amendment into the consti-
tuition.
lie observes that the amendment i'm
poses no additional tax on the state but
merely gives each county ana community
the right, by vote, to levy local school
tax if they, in their wisdom, should see
fit to do so.
In concluding his statement. Governor
Jelks says
1.-THE amendment merely provides that
after its adoption, a county and commun-
ity, If they see fit to do so, can have
an election to vote for one mill, or two
mills or three mills-not more than three
millS-to be levied in favor of schools in
their said localities. The citizens of
tnis state are not called upon to vote
tax at this time but to gfve a prrvi-
levy thereafter to such counties and
communities as may choose to exercise
that privilege That is ALL 1t is worth
while to say that should this amend
.ment carry, and every county and every
school district in the state put it into
effect, the gross results of these local
taxes, together with other appropriations
of whatever nature for schools now al
lowed under the statues or the consti-
tuition. will still leave us at tremendous
disadvantages in the school race compared
to other states in this union. / heartily
favor the amendment and consider that
while it is inadequate and long delayed,
1t will give us an educational impetus
in this state of which we are sorely
in need"
