Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: | have tried
to get prescription filed which you
recommended, but the druggist doesn't
know how much gylcerine, chalk,
cherry and alcohol to put with four
grains of sulphur. Will you please
print it in the paper. do want to try
it so badly for my red nose. 1t is just
once in awhile it gets red. Sometimes
it comes to pimple and sometimes 1t
is just real redness.
MRS. A. B. c.
The lotion for redness of the nose is
made from four grams each of precipi-
tate of sulphur, pure glycerine, precipi-
tated chalk, cherry laurel water and
rectifed alcohol If the lotion causes
the slightest tendency to peeIing, 1t
may be necessary to omit it for few
days, but a slight application of cold
cream, rubbing it off gently at once,
If desired, will usually Offset such an
effect.
A red nose is usually caused by
defective digestion or an impoverish'
ed condition of the system, as we'll as
sluggish circulation. ! would advise
you to consult a physician as we'll as
to use the lotion.

Tennis Association 10 Oppose Geographical
 Drawings

New York ay 28.-Julian s. My rick, president of tho United States Lawn Tennis association, said tc- day that the association opposed geographical matching of teams in the elimination rounds of the Davis cup tennis matches because such a method detracts from the interna- tional character Of he games.
 That this will be the attitude of the American representative at the meeting called for London late this year when the subject of rearrang- ing the draw will be debated, is fur ther shown in MT. Myrick's state ment that the defaults of Canada, Hawaii and Japan. while regret table, "are to be expected in con test which Is open to the nations of the world"
 "The blind draw" he said. "has been followed ever since the contest began in 1900. and under 1t the com petition has developed into the great est of it's kind. To adopt a geo. graphical plan of seeding would, in our judgment, defeat one of the very purposes for which the contest was established. namely, to promote national interest play. It would seem as though the development ex- pected in the future would justify the competitors in sending their teams long distances to compete even more than in the past"

Pastor Hires Private Detective and Makes the Rounds Himself-Finds It Plentiful Within Short
 Distance of Courthouse

Sensational charges that there were a half-dozen or more places within a short radius of the court house where liquor could be bought any time and that he has the names ready to be made public whenever called upon were made by Dr. James F. billiard from the pulpit of the Southside Baptist church last night.
 pr. billiard sprung a big surprise when he told his large congregation that believing 1t was his duty to know just what was going on in Birmingham. he undertook to hire a detective a short time ago from an- other city and together they made a tour of the city one night
 Tn place not three blocks from the courthouse" said Dr. billiard, T approached the man in charge and asked if he had anything to drink was greeted with the reply that there was plenty. In another a short distance away. I received the same answer and in yet another place I was told that there would be a good supply along in short time.
 Things have come to a pretty pass in Birmingham when officials to whom is entrusted the enforcement of the laws are criminals and law breakers themselves"
 The minister took his text from Luke x:27 and read of the certain man who went down from Jericho and fell among thieves and was beaten and left by the roadside.
 s'It reads like a Birmingham paper of today, doesn't It." continued pr. billiard. 'when nearly every day we read of citizens being taken from their homes and off the streets and being flogged and left in the woods7
 Receiving Much Publicity
 T do not say that Birmingham is any worse than any other city in the country but 1t is certainly receiving much publicity all over the country. It is not because of Righteousness, either, unless 1t is the righteous in- dignation of the good people of the city who are tired of this state of affairs.
 Municipal death and destruction are preying on our city, and every force in Birmingham newspapers. schools, churches and every other institution should cooperate to eradicate these evils"
 Dr. billiard said that there were too many laws on the statute books that were not being enforced and that he doubted if many of the law yers and any of the policemen could

BIRMINGHAM MAN
 TELLS OF TRIP ID
 TEXASPANHANDLE
Writes of Road Three Hundred Miles Long Without Sin gle Turn in the En-
 tire Length

Richard F. wilkerson of Fort Worth, Tex, son of MT. andsMrs. B. F. Will kerson of Birmingham, writes inter- estingly to Birmingham friends of . recent trip through the Panhandle of Texas. MT. wilkerson went on the chamber of commerce special of the Fort Worth Power and Light conn pany. He writes:
 West Texas Is a wonderful coun- try, and has just begun It's growth. Everything is done on big scale. and they are real go-getters. For example, the town of Plainview IS about 5000 population. yet built fine auditorium seating 4,000!
 "The plains country Is a very dis tinot part of Texas, and very pe- culiar It is one big mesa as the Mexicans say, and there Is no word in English to express it. Instead of ris- ing from the lower country slowly as most hills>do. 1t comes up several hundred feet at time. as perpendic- ularly as though the whole thing had been chiseled out.
 "The Fort Worth delegation was taken on 175-mile auto ride yester-
  that part Of the lower Panhandle. I never saw so far and so little, for the country is flat as far as the eye can see, and farther. And when we say flat we mean flat, for it Is abso- lutely impossible to detect any slope for 50 or 100 miles. The roads are wonderful, following the section lines north and south and east and west, with no curves or twists. One can ride for s20 miles on one road. they tell me- from the edge of the caproci at McAdoo, Tex. to Amarosa, N. M, and never cross a single bridge or turn the steering wheel at all. Imagine it. From Birmingham to Mobile, say. and not a single turn. Absolutely as straight as the line can be surveyed. And practically level.
 There are no streams in that part of the country. The whole section Is underlaid with Nan ocean of water at depth of 30 feet, and irrigation Is simple, the land is so flat. That Is, irrigation for the agricultural coun- try, for most of 1t is COW country.
 And I nearly forgot the miragesi Along about noon, when the sun gets pretty hot, one can see the most beautiful lakes all around, but as you come near them they move on off elusively. First time had ever seen them.
 Also. I was interested in coming through the oil fields this morning. It was the first time I had seen the big fields west of here, around Ranger. Breckenridge and thereabouts. Oil wells have been sunk as close as the derricks can be placed in some parts for miles in towns, streets, and everywhere they could be put. This field has A large number of wells still producing high-g grade crude oil, although the main boom was two years ago. We saw one gas well on fire. the other night, on the way out
 "we were entertained very nicely at every town we stopped, the whole town turning out in the nature of a holiday. and we felt more or less like animals on exhibition"

NEGROES TOURGE FORD ASPRES|DENT
First Club to Push Candidacy Was Formed Here
 Yesterday

The advice President Harding gave in his famous Birmingham speech re- garding negroes blindly voting the republican ticket. is being urged by those negroes who heard him. Yes terday afternoon at the office of w. B. Driver, in the Negro Pythian Tenn pie, the first Henry Ford for Presi- dent club was organized. William Randolph Hurst was indorsed Tor vice president. From some source the negroes gathered had heard that Ford was to be canofdate for the presidential nomination on an irde- pendent ticket and resolutions were adopted pIedging not alone the sup- port of negroes in the south but their brethren in the north. whether Fora ran as democrat or an independent.
 Jo eRush. local negro capitalist. and hotel proprietor. was elected tenn porary president and Cora Morton secretary. The other officers are: Smith Prothrow, contractor, vice president: J. Brockman Moses. treas urer; Willie Beaseley sergeant-at- arms. James Peoples, Cora Croons and W. II. Paxton. manufacturing chemist, were appointed as com mittee to ,raw u., the constit -.tion and bylaws of the Henry Ford Inde- pendent Labor Club No. 1, by which the organization will be known. The headquarters will be locate at Room PIP. Pythian Temple, 310 North Eigh- teenth street.
 Cora Croons. tho secretary, . we'll known Baptist church worker. in ex- plaining her interest said 1t was time the negroes who were permitted to vote recognized that the white peo- ple who gave them daily employment should be retained as friends and not regarded as political enemies.

stand rigid examination on all the laws.
 He decried the fact that carloads of literature attacking every insti- tuition in the country. schools, churches and even the state itself were allowed to go unheeded. He called upon the real statesmen of the country to strike at the root of the whole condition which he said was the result of disrespect of law.
 "As long as jokes and satire and fun is poked at one kind of law all others will suffer also" Dr. billiard noted, and when the humber citt- zens are haled before the court and given fines and the upper crust the 400 or high society violates the law and sits back and boasts of 1t. there Is applause. And if you think this Is not so. have names and dates and statement from this pulpit unless l am ready to back it up with facts.
 Easy to Pay Fine
 "It seems-and mark that l say 1t seems. I am not sure-that many of the laws arc simply enforced to obtain small revenue out of fines. A man will probably make $i,00o out of the violation of a law and he will be fined $50. That Is no way to enforce law. IL should Dc done 10 ofeaR up the whole foul system, not to bring a paltry sum in fines"
 Refers to Whipping
 pr. Dillard touched smartiy upon tho recent whipping crimes in Bir- mingham and said in this connec- tion; Yes. rise up in wrath along with other people at the idea of a public official being taken out and flogged and left by the roadside. and rebel at the thought of any other man being subjected to the same treatment. When we are made to realize that respect for the humblest citizen should be the same as that for the highest man in the land and laws are enforced to the protection of all alike. then this thing will cease.@
 Dr. DiTlard declared the cause of the present crime wave, including drunkenness, whippings and other lawlessness, is attributable to the fact that the higher class of people are contributing less each genera tion to the progeny of the world.
 "The lower classes rank seven, eight and nine to family nowa- days" he said, land the higher class of families only one, two and three children to the family"

Birmingham presbyterians are the last to hear the call. Our sister churches have heard the call during financial depression. Birmingham Is hearing the call dur ing the time of an industrial awaken ing. Our sister churches deserve all praise for the fact that they have measured up to what was expected of them everywhere.
 Must Succeed
 If Birmingham fail this will be the first failure In the whole church. What we need now Is some gifts Of st0.000 and s5.000 each And this Is necessary If We arc to succeed"
 At tho conclusion of the addrsss cards were passed and a liberal offer ing received, Final reports will ne made at the Victory celebration Mon- day night at 7:30 at the Tutwiier hotel. Every Presbyterian in Bir- mlngham Is invited to be present at this meeting.
