A woman noted for her smart manner
of dressing has several pieces of fur for
street use this year. They are all III the
form of fiat stoles. wide and long. And
she wears them neatly tucked under the
white linen or organdie collar of her frock
of serge or silk. Her method is adn
rahle. the washable collar keeps the
fur from coming in coH-act with the skin
and so serves double purpose. the fur
is not moistened by p-Tspiration and the
skin is not irritated by the heat of the
fur. But the shoulders are covered very
comfortably.

 The pending plans for the develop
 ment of Muscle Shoals and the con-
 struction on the banks of the Tennes-
 see of a government plant for the
 manufacture of gunpowder and cheap
 fertilizer for the farmer of the south,
 contain more of importance to the peo-
 pie of the Eighth district than any
 other matter before Congress- Judge Almon rendered invaluable service in
 the preparation of the necessary legis- lation, and he was in the thick of the fight when those matters were before the House and Senate. In this connec- tion, it is interesting to note that from a pamphlet printed by the Almon cam paign committee in Decatur and sent to Washington Mr. Callahan was un- til recently opposed to the Muscle Shoals plans-and his conversion was of such modern date that the sug- gestion was made that he remain in the ranks and entrust the continuance of the battle to one who has always been in harmony with the wishes of his people.

The Real Secret of
 Rejuvenating the Face

She holds the true secret of facial re- juvenation who has learned how to re- move the dead skin particles as fast as they appear. 'Tis secret anyone can possess. The aged, faded, or discolored surface skin may be gradually absorbed, in an entirely safe and rational manner, by the nightly application of ordinary mercolized wax. Within week or two the underlying skin, youthful and beau tiful to behold, has taken the place of the discarded cuticle. So little of the old skin is absorbed each day there's no in convenience at all, and no one suspects you are putting anything on your face. The mercoliZed wax, procurable at any drug store Gan ounce is sufficiently, is applied like cold cream. In the morning 1t is erased with soap and water. It's the best thing known for freckles black heads, pimples, moth patches, liver spots and fine surface wrinkles.
 For the deeper wrinkles, an excellent recipe is: Powdered saXolite. 1 oz., dis solved in F pt. witch hazel Bathing the face in the solution produces quick and wonderful results.

J. Ed Haigler Has Good Endorsement

Knowing MT. J. Ed Haigler and being his pastor for nearly two years, my in terest in him induces me to speak in his behalf.
 He is one of the officials of my church and takes an active interest in church work.
 He has taken an interest in the pub lie schools and all things pertaining to the welfare of the people. No one knows better than he the needs of the county over which the Board of Revenue have Jurisdiction and no one is better qualified to fill the position.
 Knowing Mir Haigler as I do I can conscientiously recommend him to the voters of the county, feeling that they will make no mistake in electing him to the Board of Revenue.

 DENTS FINE WORK
 In the issue of his newspaper fol- lowing his return to Alabama, Doty declared that Dent was the ideal con gressman and urged the people, for their own good, to keep him in har- ness indefinitely The following week his first attack appeared. No req son for the ssdden and violent de- lection has been made public.
 And thus Doty is an issue. It is thought probable, however. that the people of the Second district, aware of the position which Mir. Dent has taken in Washington his fine ability, his indefatigable effort, his statesman ship and the regard in which he is generally held, will be more effectively moved by their idea of justice, and by consideration for their subdivision of the state than by the suddenly belli- cose attitude of a journalistic office seeker.

 "SUFFS" ARE ANXIOUS
 The SutfragetteS of the east ana pos sibly also those of the south are talk ing considerable interest in the race between Representative Blackmon, Representative Abercrombie and H. M. Judge in the Fourth. This Is due to the fact that Representative Abercrom- bic is the only avowed advocate Of equal suffrage in the campaign.
 pr. Abercrombie has publicly eX- pressed the hope that in the near fu- ture Alabama and every other state would provide for the enfranchisement of women. January 12, 1915, he con- cluded speech in the house with these aragraphs:
 When one with clear m]d and open heart considers the matter seriously he comes naturally and irresistibly to the conclusion that this last of the shackles that bind woman should be broken; that against woman's complete emancipation there remains but one ar gument-tradition- argument that has it's foundation in the darkness Of barbarian. Such an argument cannot much longer prevail in this day ot education and democracy.
 "We need equal suffrage for what it will do for women, for what it will do for men, for what it will do for the home, for what it will do for politics, for what it will do for government. If the states refuse or fail to grant it within reasonable time, .<e privilege may be conferred through an amend ment of the federal constitution.
 T trust that the day is not far dis tant when Alabama and each of the other states will provide for the en- franchsement of women who are capable of meeting the qualifications exacted of men"
