BLACKHEADS GO QUICK BY THIS SIMPLE METHOD

Blackheads--big ones or little ones soft ones or hard ones--on any part of the body. go quickly by simple method that just dissolves them. To do this get about two ounces of calonite powder from your druggist-sprinkle little on a hot, wet sponge-rub over the blackheads brisk ly for few seconds-and wash off You'll wonder where the blackheads have gone. The calonite powder and the hot water have just dissolved them. Pinching and squeez- ing blackheads only open the pores of the skin and leave them open and unsightly-- and unless the blackheads are big and soft they will not come out, while the simple ap- plication of calonite powder and water dis solves them right out. leaving the skin soft and the pores in their natural condition. You can get calonite powder at any drug store and if you troubled with these unsightly blemishes you should certainly try this simple method.-Adv.

BLACKFRIARS PLAY THIS EVENING

The Blackfriars, the University of Ala bama Dramatic club, will present four one-act plays this evening at the Jeffer- son in which MT. Alan Drennen and Mir Armstrong Cory will take leading parts. Of their performance at the Woman s college in that city the Montgomery Ad- vertiser says:
 NO story of the Blackfriar perform ance at Women's college Saturday night is complete without discussion of the remarkable acting ability displayed by Hudson Strode, the director of the club. The tragic role in The Last Man In called for dramatic power and energy that is seldom expected of other than seasoned actors of long experience. But MT. Strode was in every way equal to the occasion. From his entrance on the stage until the curtain fell. he held his audience enthralled in almost breathless expectancy, demonstrating such a force full type of acting as is rarely seen off the professional stage.
 MT Strode has often been urged to take part in Blackfriar plays, but this is the first year that he has consented to do so for the entire trip. The success which has greeted him at every town where the Blackfrars have appeared is attest to the power and force of his act ing. He is in great demand over Ala bama as dramatic reader, and many of pacity welcomed the opportunity of see ing him in real play.
 Much credit must also be given Miss Vivian Monk, who, as the mother in the tragedy, was largely responsible for it's great success. Armstrong Cory and Will lard Mccall were excellent in their sup port of MT. Strode and Miss Monk.
