Demanding Resignation Of BurIesou
Washington, July 7--Comnlete de-
mobilization of the postal service I'M
der the direction of Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson is becoming so appar-
ent to members of Congress that it is
not unlikely that after the return of
the President pressure will be brought
to bear upon him even by Democrats
to remove this member of his Cabinet
from office.
Congressional mail is filled with an
tagonism. Complaints, protests, con-
formations and even imprecations are
made. All classes of patrons of the
postoffice are heard from The hum
blest individual as well as the largest
business enterprise has been dis
astrously affected Postmasters at
small offices are driven to their wits
end in making apologies for the SER
vice and the administration they are
aeHdIIISu VI, anu REPRESENTATIVES, ana
Senators have been appraised for this.
In some cases the poor service and its
causes are so apparent and impossible
of justification that postmasters have
resigned in disgust, tire of handing
out explanations which fail to explain
or satisfy.
Complaints have often come from
patrons at offices where the depart
ment only pretends to furnish suffi-
Gent number of employees to serve the
public and long lines of people are at
the window they desire to use The
clerk is often at another window doing
something else he had been told to do.
The cause is said to be that the ad-
dition of the parcels post, with it's
burdensome labor, the multiplicity of
conflicting orders from the central de-
partment, the frequent notifications
of rules that follow changes of system,
and the reports made to headquarters
all tend to keep theoffice free jump
ing from one thing to another
while waiting public wonders at the
righteousness of Uncle Sam and the
reason for it all. All this in the Con

was waiting to carry the party to the battle-ground. OBaldwin, because of his size, would have been easy for the police to detect. So he went to an other station and took a train from there. Unfortunately, the train which he took did not stop at the station where the fi&ht was to take place ana O'Baldwin was carried many miles be- yond.
 Meanwhile, Wormald and the fight party waited many hours at the battle ground. When darkness was approach ing and no OBaldwin appeared, the referee ruled that the non-appearance of O'Baldwin gave the fight to Wor- maid by default and Wormald was given the stakes.
 O'Baldwin later was matched with Jem Mace but the affair resulted in another fizzle This disgusted OBald- win with fighting conditions in Eng land and he came to this country Shortly afterward he took on Joe Wormald in a battle in Lynnfield. Mass. on September 1. 1888. After one round had been fought the police, who had hidden in a nearby barn, broke into Che ring and arrested the partici- pants. O'Baldwin was sent to jail eor IS months
 After O'Baldwin had been released from prison. he issued a challenge to Jem Mace, Tom Allen or Mike McCoole Mace accepted and O'Baldwin named New Orleans as the fight ground Mace would not accept this decision Several other sites were chosen. bu. in every instance no agreement could be reached After nearly year of dickering the match was finally de- clared off and the stake money re- turned.

Two Men Are Given
 Parole by Governor

~ Montgomery, January 15-(Special) )
 Gov. Charles Henderson has ordered the
 release on parole of two men who were
 serving sentences of two years each in the state prison. The governor paroled Horace Gay, convicted in Coffee county in October, 1917, and sentenced to serve two years for burglary. At recent ses- sion the Alabama board of pardons rec commended clemency, and the governor is carrying out the wish of the board Dick
 Buford, Bullock county, convicted for bigamy, and sentenced on November ts. 1917, to serve two years. was also paroled. The paroles are conditioned upon the fu- ture good conduct of the two men.
 The last week of Governor Henderson's administration would be made the most miserable of his four-year term if all persons who are seeking favors should be admitted to see the governor. There are scores of persons anxious to plead for some relative or friend, who is serv- ing prison sentence, and they feel that the governor will be more sympathetic. now that his term is limited to a few days. Governor Henderson will go out of oHice at noon next Monday

the first defeat. The men fought for l a side bet of $500 on September 25, 1866. OBaldwin secured his revenge by doling out a terrible beating to Harsden. Adherents of the latter, realizing that Marsden was about to be knocked out, broke into the ring in the eleventh round and surrounded OBaldwin. Some of them struck hlm with clubs. As OBaldwin broke through the cordon and started to es- cape he was pelted with stones and rocks. The referee also made his es- cape, but as soon as he got back to London announced that the money had been awarded to OBaldwin because Marsden was practically defeated when the ring was broken into by his party.
 O'Baldwin then defied Jem Mace The latter refused to fight him largely upon the excuse that O'Baldwin didn't have a reputation. Mace informed O'Balwwin that if he would whip a man of his (Mace) choosing, he would give O'Baldwin a fight. O'Baldwin agreed. Mace first named Joe Goss. but that match fell through Mace then named Joe Wormald, and articles were signed for battle for a 5000 side bet and the championship belt
 But the fight never came off. This was due to the fact that police, in their efforts to stop the contest, were at the railroad station where the train

TURN HAIR DARK WITH SAGE TEA If Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens So Naturally
 Nobody Gan Tell

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmother's recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage.
 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug. stores sell the ready-to-use pro- duct, improved by the addition of>other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
 It is very popular, because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disap. pears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, Is that besides beautifully darkening the hair after few applica tions, it also produces that soft lustre and appear- ance of abundance which is so attract iYe.-AdYs -I

Plans Perfected for
 Health Service Unit

Montgomery, January 15.--(Special) Plans have been perfected for the or ganization in Alabama of a unit of the United States public health service mem bers of which will cooperate with the government in the stamping out of all epidemics. such as influenza. This step forward in the interest of public health resulted from a conference of health au- thorities in Montgomery. The suggestion was made by Dr, J. A. Mclaughlin, as- sistant surgeon of the United States pub lie health service, to the state board of censors. The state board has just ad- journed after holding its semiannual ses. sion.
 The completed plans call for the organ ization of the medical corps of the United States public health service in Alabama
 State Health Officer w. $. Welch was instructed by the board to accept the ap- pointment of surgeon of the health sery- ice, and to organize in all Alabama coun- ties volunteer board, composed of med ical men who will hold themselves ready to cooperate with the state board and United States government. The arrange ments provide that the members of the Alabama board will be prepared at any time for call to active duty.
 The organization is provided for by Sen ate Bill No. 63 of Congress.

Jane Grey's Famous Western Novel
 Shown on Screen Here

William Farnum, the ever welcomed movie star, is being featured at the AL cazar in ''The Rainbow Trail" The play was written by Zane Grey, who is fa- nous for the writing of western stories. A short while back another of Zane Grey's stories, "The Riders of the Pur- pie Sage" appeared at the Alcazar and showed to capacity houses daily. The present play, "The Rainbow Trail" is a sequel to ."The Riders of the Purple Sage,'' and offers the wonderful Far mum even better opportunities to dis play his finished acting.
 The Rainbow TraiI' is a western story far above the average, being pitched on lines and at the same time filled to the brim with breathless thrills
 The photography and setting of the play is another notable feature, it hav- ing been taken from the most beautiful locations in Arizona and Nevada. How ever. to appreciate just how good this latest Farnum picture is one will have to see it. It is playing all the week at the Alcazar.

 Ned O'Baldwin was perhaps the tall- est pugilist in the history of the fight game in Great Britain.
 Born in 1S4o in Lismore, Ireland. O'Baldwin notched 6 feet 61k inches when he was 19 years old But at that time he weighed only 160 pounds and was almost freakish in appearance. The title of Human String Bean" was applied to him and chung to him for several years. Age added little weight to O'Baldwins frame, but never at any time did he beam over 2c0 pounds and during the heydey of his fighting career he notched between 165 and 1SO.
 Tom Cooper, a lover of pugilism. took an interest in o'Baldwin and induced him to enter the ring. Through Coop CTS efforts. O'Baldwin was matched with Andrew Marsden and in the fight which took place near Liverpool, OBaldwin was thoroughly whipped. The novice. extremely nervous and be- wildered from the outset, was easy prey for the experienced Marsden and was beaten in three rounds
 Defeat in his first ring effort, how ever, did not dishearten OBaidwin. Rather 1t whetted his appetite for more pugihstic encounters and in 1864 he succeeded in getting fight with George Hes. rather prominent and burley fighter of that era. Hes figured he would have an easy time with Q OBaldwin-but he reckoned without knowledge that O'Baldwin had devoted nearly year to learning the boxing game The result was surprisingly easy knockout triumph for OBaldwin
 After defeating Hes, the giant :, OfBaldwin, at once challenged Mars den, hoping to wipe out the stain of
