OPELIKA CARRIES FIGHT ON SEWER COMPANY HIGHER
Will Appeal To U. s. Supreme Court Against Rate
 Advance

OPELIKA Ala, July 2o.-A matter of great interest to Opelikians was the action of the city council Friday morning when 1t was decided that the city of Opelika will appeal the sewre case to the supreme court of the United States. This action grows out of the case of long standing be- tween the Opelika Sewer company and the city in which the former advanced sewer rates to about double the oringinal rates. The city resisted the increase.
 The sewer company filed an injunc- tion restraining the city from inter- fering with it's rates and the case has been pending in the federal court until about a month ago when Judge Henry D. Clayton held that the new rates were not exhorbitant. The citys contention Is that the sewer compa- ny is without authority to increase sewer rates and cannot without new contract.

THOUSANDS OF WOMEN
 ARE NOW CONVERTED
Black and White Beauty Traip draws many new
 followers each year.

When the discoverers of the marVeIons Black and White Beauty creations first announced to the girls and women of this country that they had at last perfected means of really correcting bad com plexions, it was regarded simply an other wild claim which would explode when put to practical use.
 But as each year has passed since that memorable day Gin June, l9l6l the tig- ures show that large numbers of new con, verts have been added to the Black ana White label, until now Black and Nh'te Beauty Creations are selling at the phe- nomenal rate of more than eight million packages a year.
 When asked recently to give the reason for the tremendous popularity and DE sale of Black and White Beauty Creations, one of the chemists said TO us 1t IS nothing out of the ordinary for such Black and White Beauty Creations as Cleansing Cream and Peroxide Cream to get such universal approval among girls and women everywhere. These enormous sales mean but one thing, and that Is Black and White Beauty Creations are actually accomplishing what women ex- pect in caring for their complexion to keep it looking smooth and clear without lot of trouble.
 One or two packages are sold in neighborhood through the advertising and twenty more are bought there because the first ones bring such astonishing re- suits. People are always ready to tell others about a method which helps them accomplish what other things failed to do."
 Not a week passes that fails to bring out hundreds of statements from girls and women about the wonderful results they get in correcting bad complexion by using Black and White Cleansing. and Peroxide Cream. This alone is sufficient to explain ha sH<aVan nlA nf White Beauty Creations, and is the best reason power on earth can keep them off the dressing tables of the girls and women all over the country.

TWIN CITY CLUB DEMANDS END OF CONVICT LEASE
THE AGE-HERALD TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU Alha Decatur. Ala. July 20

Leasing of convicts In Alabama would be a thing of the past if the Morgan Kiwanis club had it's way, according to resolutions adopted by the Twin City club. The resolutions applaud the stand taken by solons against the system.
 The resolutions continue: I've tndorse the position of our sena- tors and other members of both houses of our legislature who ad- vocate the destruction of the con- vict lease system which subjects unfortunates deprived of their lib- erty to the greed and Caprices of task makers having pecuniary and personal interest in the largest possible amount of products of the enforced toll of such victims that can be wrung from them and an equal interest in the smallest amount of food and clothing to be supplied.
 Resolved, further. that the state that persists in perpetuating the horrors of such a system thereby stigmatizes itself as un- civilized in the eyes of the vast majority of other states which in the progress of their development have cast off the nefarious prac- tice along with slavery and other remote and barbaric eras."

The curliness will look perfectly natural, and the hair will be beautifully glossy yet without the least greasiness or stickiness.
