RAISING BILLS FROM
 ONE TO FIVE LANDS
 NEGRO IN CITY JAIL

Charles Lewis. negro, was arrested yesterday by Detectives Malone and Wilson on charge of defacing United States currency and is being held for the government at the city Jail.
 It is alleged that Lewis tore from the corners of $1 bills the value mark and replaced it with the number 5, making the bill appear as worth $5. So completely was the change made that the negro had passed several of these bills, according to the officers, before being apprehended. Two of the bills were passed at local drug stores.
 A warrant it is understood, has been sworn out for him before United States Commissioner Kenneth Charlton and the negro will be turned over to federal authorities. The bills used were of new form of currency now being issued by the government.

 In speaking of the commencement ex- ercises, Commissioner J. Ellis Brown, an alumnus of Birmingham Southern col lege said:
 T always look forward from year to year with much pleasure to commence ment exercises at the Birmingham Southern college, formerly Birmingham college. 1 spent four of the most pleas
 ant years of my life on that sacred hill at Owenton. This college, though young, is recognized as being among the best institutions of learning in the state. It's graduates have taken a high rank among the business and professional men of the country. Some have gone into foreign countries and occupy positions of respon- sibility and honor.
 ] GREAT LEADERS "The Birmingham college always do- ing good work and pushing forward with the right spirit and determination. had many years of hard struggling, due mainly to financial difficulties. Yet she grew stronger as time passed on under the personal guidance of such great and good men as Dr. E. NJ Glenn, Dr. John Robinson. Dr. West, Dr. Turner, and the late Bishop Mccoy, supported by north Alabama Methodsm. But there was to be great day in the history of Chris tian education in Alabama. This day came when Birmingham college made up of the faculty, students and resources of these two institutions is destined to
 | become a great seat of learning.
 Located in this mineral and indust- l trial district, in the heart of the fore-
 | most city of the south, with the support
 of united people, it's environments are
 | good, and it's future prosperity assured. .'

Spring Aggravates
Your Catarrh

not a local irritation which stops
up the air passages and inter
feres with the breathing appar-
atus. True, the effects of the
disease are manifested in these
annoying and often painful
symptoms, but you must treat
the disease itself and not its
symptoms only.
Remember that there are mil
lions of catarrh germs, and
when these infest the blood, you
cannot hope to be rid of your
Catarrh until these germs are
absolutely eliminated from the
blood. And this is why 5. 5. s.,
the well-known old blood puri-
fer. is such an excellent remedy
for Catarrh. S. S. S. is the most
thorough blood remedy known
to science. 1t thoroughly puri-
fes the blood, and cleanses it OF
every trace of disease germs.
SO, if you wish to be relieved
of YOUR Catarrh in a rational
way, you should begin taking
S. S. S. to-day, and you will
have the same satisfactory ex-
perience as the thousands of
other Catarrh victims have had.
This remedy will remove from
the blood all disease germs, and
will so build up the general
health, that you will find your
system in splendid disease-re-
sisting condition, your appetite
will improve, and you will again
enjoy the vigor of robust health.
S. S. S. is sold by druggists
everywhere. You should begin
taking it to-day, and if you wish
any medical advice without cost,
write about your case to Chief
Medical Adviser, 81 Swift La
boratory, Atlanta. Ga.

Sore and Irritated Membranes
Choke Up the Air
Passages

You cannot realize the full
benefit of the balmy spring
weather as long as the air pass
ages are stopped UP, and the
delicate and tender membranes
are kept sore and irritated by
offensive Catarrh. And in so
many cases, the disease seems
aggravated with the change of
seasons.
After using sprays, douches,
washes and lotions constantly
YOU should be convinced by now
that only temporary relief can
come from these local remedies.
Many unfortunate victims of Ca
tarrh have used this method of
treatment season after season,
and each year finds them still at
flicted with the disease.
In fact, as long as you use
only such remedies as reach the
surface, you will find that the
disease continues to grow worse
for while these sprays and inhal-
ers and lotions may unstop the
air passages for the time being,
they have no effect whatever
upon the cause of your Catarrh.
And unless you treat the cause
OF any disease, you will never
be rid of the disease itself.
For this reason it is important
that YOU realize that Catarrh is
