 STATE CAPITAL
ts&,ArE CAPITAL BUREAU)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. 20.- The malaria parasite, as well as the boil weevil needs attention in the black belt of Alabama, according to Dr. K. F. Maxcy of the state health department. Malaria is not the least of the forces tending to depopulate the black belt, Dr. Maxcy declared, and asserted that the popular idea in the black belt that "the negro does not have malaria,T is fallacy. In these eight black belt counties of Bullock, Montgomery, ,Lowndes, Dallas, Hale, Perry, Greene and Marengo, as far back as statistics are available, over 90 per cent of the deaths attributable to malaria have been in negroes "The reservoir of infection with the malaria parasite is the sick negro on the cotton plantation" Dr. Maxcy stated.
 A hopeful sign is noted by Dr. Maxcy in the fact that malaria in the black belt is not as bad as it has been. One reason for this, he stated, is that many cotton plantations have been turned into hay and stock farms, and rural population has been so depleted that there is scarcely anything left on which the malarial parasite can live. While the parasite 4 has been starved out in many locations, in others it still takes a yearly toll in devitalized and unhappy labor. 'The malarial parasite affects the output of labor as does the boil weevil the production of cotton," Dr. Maxcy stated. '"The disease thrives where the land is poorly drained, where the houses are poorly built, where there are no screened windows, where there is no adquate medical attention pro- vided. When the land is cleared and drained, when houses are we'll built, away from the low land, and not in crowded quarters, where it is possible to properly screen the house, and final ly, where the sick are properly and adequately treated, the disease disap- pears"
 Brig Gen. Edwin B. Winans, from the Fourth corps area, Fort McPherson, was visitor to the state capitol today. General Winans came to Montgomery to get acquainted with the crack aerial forces of Uncle Sam, stationed at Max we'll Field, and in company with Maj. Roy Brown, commanding officer of the local post, called to pay his respects to Governor Brandon.

 -Rhymes of Red Cross Man.

Watch the expression of satisfaction when a person places some fine per- fume to their nostrils. No mistake about their being enslaved, so to speak, by its dainty and alluring odor.
 That is just what causes so many people to keep going to their nearest store and get both the Talcum Powder and Face Powder fragraneed with the new perfume which is known as "In- cense of Flowers" After they once get breath of its grand odor nothing else can ever-satisfy.
 This Talcum and Face Powder bears the wellknown Black and White label, which is your guarantee of highest quality and excellence at low popular prices of 25c and soc. Their tremen- dous sale of more than eight million packages year proves the popularity of the Black and White Beauty Crea- tions. Ask any dealer for them.

Bryce Institution Has Clear Title To Only 5,163
 Acres
fsrATE CAPITAL RuREAUl

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. 2O.- Alabama insane hospitals have clear title to only 5,163 acres of the swamp and overflow land granted to the insane hospital by legislative act of 1905, according to a report prepared by K. w. Manning, special agent of the in sane hospitals, who has made an in- vestigation to ascertain the amount of such land belonging sto the institutions. Mir. Manning reported today to c. B. Werner, chairman of the resident com mittee of the Alabama Insane hospi- tals.
 The lands in question were received by the state of Alabama from the fed eral government by an act of Congress passed in 1850. and in 1903 were granted to the trustees of the state in sane hospitals. Mir. Manning found that 126,672 acres of these lands were sold in 1871 and 1872, at 10 cents per acre. Under the code of 1907 the state patented to the trustees of the insane hospitals 26,62S acres of land. A check of tax records today revealed that taxes are being paid on 21, ASA acres of this land, leaving only 5,183 to which the hospitals have clear ti- tie,
 Mir. Manning recommended that where it is found that the state has not parted in legal or effective way with the lands, settlement, be made with claimants on such terms as may be considered right. The lands involved in the report are mostly in Baldwin, Washington and Mobile counties.
 Effective April

original returned to office of the
County Recorder, and then re-regis-
ter such elector in the, precinct where
he or she resides. A person must rot
register more than once, without first
cancelling any prior registration. To
register more than once or to know
ingly register in any precinct VIII rc
he is not q resident at the time Of
registering, is criminal offense and
subjects the offender to fine in sum-
not to exceed two thousand dollars or
to imprisonment not to exceed three
years, or both. EVERYBODY MUST
REGISTER THIS YEAR If they wish
to vote at the primary election on
September 9Th, or at the general cleo
tion on November 4th, 1924, or any
other election that may be held with
in the next two years. No registra-
ton Of former years win suffice.
This office will make every reason
able effort to properly register all
legal voters before the primary elee-
tion. The public can aid materially
in our work by registering with some
registration officer as soon after Nav
5th as possible. An amendment to tho
registration laws made by the Legisla~
ture Of 1915, provides that the eleetol
when registering shall give his party
affiliation or gay that he has none, il
such be the case. ANY elector refua-
ing to give his party affiliation GAN
NOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.
This question in the registration
blank must be answered. The matter
of registration without giving q party
affiliation does not affect the eleetor
at the general election, hut is an inn
portant factor at the primary for Sc
lection of candidates for the general
election, for unless a party affiliation
is given, the elector will not be per-
mitted to vote for any candidate ON
the regular printed primary ballots.
The registration officer should r.
member that the law requires each
elector to be sworn on registering,
and no change of party affiliation viii
be permitted after elector has once
been registered.

of issuance of such papers, and the
fact of their loss or destruction and
circumstances connected herewith.
The above applies to women as well
as to men, except that yemen Of for
eign birth become naturaliized citi-
zens upon their marriage to citizens O.
the United States either by birth or
by naturalization, or if already mar
ried, the naturalization of the husband
carries with it citizenship Of the wife.
On the other hand when a woman who
is citizen of the United States, eth
er by birth or naturalization, marries
an alien, her citizenship ceases with
such marriage. In short, the citizen
ship Of the wife is that Of the hus-
band.
WHERE REGISTERED
Electors must register in the pre-
cinct where they reside, to enable
them to vote at any primary or gen
eral election. The law by which a per
son, if not on the register could vote
at the polls, has been omitted from
the code, now in force, and in order
to vote at any primary or general
or special election, the electors name
MUST appear on the register of the
precinct wherein he or she resides.
Observation-Disclosures AS:
The registration officer shall, when
registering an elector, execute a Blank
A in duplicate. The duplicate to be
issued to the elector and the original
mailed to the County Recorder. The
elector must appear in person and the
registration officer MUST witness the
signature. The registration officer
will PRINT the name of the elector ON
the bottom of the BLANK A. This is
necessary as some signatures are IL
legible and as the names must be
copied in this office we. must depend
upon the registration officer to help
in this matter. DO NOT OVERLOOK
THIS. See that all blank spaces are
properly filled out.
| OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES BIS:
| If, after registering, the elsctor
moves to another county or precinct,
he or she must cancel such first reg
| istration by signing Blank B, which
will issue in duplicate, the duplicate to
