Effects of CONSTIPATION

Constipation causes a stoppage of
the sewerage system of the body. The
poisonous refuse matter that should
be carried away is retained in the sys-
tenn and often poisons The blood and
causes numerous disorders. No one
can afford to neglect his bowels. A
dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will af-
ford relief. Avoid drastic cathartics
as they take too much water out of
the system and their use is likely to be
followed by constipation.

Farmers who have intelligently gone
in already for Pure-Breds are enjoy
ing these advantages now. More of
the wise ones are falling rapidly into
line. Now the way is open for you to
get at least Pure-Bred boar and
grade up your herd.
When prices are down is the time
TO buy. If you have not yet started
on the only basis that will make your
swine herd certain to pay, you should
join the procession right now. Let
us show you what other farmers have
accomplished with Pure-Breds- and
how they did it.

1 ing hair, beautiful to behold, who is to be a gift to the princess.
 Princess Kai ascends the throne and men and maidens, courtiers and slaves, join in a celebration of the victory
 One after another, beautiful dancers trip lightly before the throne; lively maidens bring them gifts of fruit brave warriors join in mock fights with swords and shields.
 Finally a handsome youth appears who has followed all the way from his native land hoping to rescue his sweetheart. the captive maid. He kneels and begs the princess for his captive 1ove's release, and touched by his prayer she gives her consent and the captive dances dance of freedom and joy.
 The priest notices that it is grow ing late and that the princess is weary and is about Go say farewell when he sees Mother Nature with all her brood coming OCT the hill. She has come to greet the past with smile of golden hours and bid them join with the fairy folk in the Battle of the Flowers.

SIMPLE APPLICATION
 THAT DISSOLVES
 BLACKHEADS

No more squeezing and pinchng to get rid of those unsightly blemishes, blackheads. There is simple, safe and way to get them out and that is to dissolve them. To do this just get about two ounces of eaonite powder from your druggist-sprinkle . little on q hot, wet sponge-rub briskly over the blackheads for few seconds-wash the parts and every blackhead will be gone.
 Pinching and squeezing out blackheads make large pores and you cannot get all of the blackheads out this way--while this simple application of calonite powder and water dissoves every particle of them and leaves the skin and pores in their natural condition Any druggist will sell you the calonite powder and about two ounces will be all you will ever need.-Adv.

WELCOME TO
 BIRMINGHAM WRITERS

Miss Mary C. Foster member of tho Birmingham Writers club has writer the following verse in greeting to tho women writers of Alabama who are ar irving in the city to attend the conven tion of the state body: To our great, progressive city
 We welcome you today o writers of Alabama,
 From near and far away As our honor'd guests we greet you, One and all we long to meet you, But we never hope to beat you
 To the prizes on the way. For we're mindful of your talents,
 CWe boast some of our own,
 And while few are in swaddling clothes
 Yet others are full grown). For fame has come to most of us: The rest write on--we know we must And all the time we hope and trust
 That the muse our way hath flown. For writing is a treach'rous art
 That must be wood with care. As those of you who've landed checks
 Can tell us--yet we dare ITO beard the lion in his den"- He sends it back, it goes again; It's in the game, as we all ken
 And we know alls fair and square.

STORY OF PAGEANT

Following is the story of the pageant to be given next Monday at the South Highlands school, for the purpose of purchasing equipment for the play ground at Magnolia park, which will be for the benefit of the children of the entire city:
 Part I-Spring's Return
 Mother Nature asks what season a child loves best and upon being told that spring is it's favorite, proceeds to call upon her little creatures of air and woods to typify the magic. of this beautiful season.
 First, the little snow flakes, the last vestige of winter fall but melt as they touch the warm cheek of balmy spring. This little fairy creature breathes and the earth brings forth her flowers, whose beauty and fragrance attract the gor- geous fluttering butterflies. A
 As evening comes on the little bum nies emerge from their cubby holes and play upon the green, but are soon disturbed by mischev1ous elves and gobblins. The good fairies, however soon appear and the elves and gob- blins run away.
 The moon now sinks behind a cloud and the fireflies come with their little
 lanterns to light the wood nymphs' dance.
 Next come the pirers Of Pan and Bacchus, the god of wine, dances and drinks, and falls in sleep upon the grass. He dreams of beautiful, maidens and tries to catch them but in vain.
 Then the morning stars appear and dawn and the little pink clouds fol- lowed by the suns rays, and at last the wonderful Goddess of the Sun.
 It is now spring and life and love are born.
 The first part ends with beauti- full courting waltz.
 Part 1.-The Triumph of the Egyptians
 The priest of Osiris prays that his god may permit him to behold a scene of kingly splendor In ancient Egypt. Osiris grants his request. The princess Kai with a vast concourse of people has gone out to meet the victorious army returning from 8 recent con- quest. They bring back with them many of the spells of war and among these a captive maiden with long flow
