SUPPORT IS URGED
 BY JUDGE SOLLIE
Veteran Prohibition Leader
 Praises Underwood
lState CapitaI BurNaul

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 1S.- Judge Mike Sollie, veteran Alabama prohibition fighter, issued an appeal today to all citizens of Alabama to lend aid to, the campaign for the nomina. tion of Senator Oscar W. Underwood. He said no consideration should be given to the report that fraud was practiced in the preferential election March II; and that any further fight on the, part of the minority would be disl0yalty to Alabama.
 Ever since the Civil war the south has uncomplainingly helped to elect presidents from other sections, seriously offering no resident sOutherner for that hQror,",. said Judge Sollie's statement. Conditions, fitness and propriety prob ably demanded this patient probation. Any fair judgment upon the facts would hold it now sufficient and declare the south again eligible. equally with other sections to furnish a president from among her sons. Fortunately for the south, it has in Senator Underwood, the greatest living democrat. It is more than a half century since any other democrat has made a record equal to his, in effective leadership and sane statesmanship. In presenting him the south may with pride ask other sec tions to support him upon his merits, as democracy's ablest and strongest man, whose services are most in demand nationally and internationally"

SILHOUETTES
 OF CAPITAL
(State Capital Rureaul

/ MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 1S.- Among the many figures which cross the threshold of the governors office there are none which are more calculated to arouse sympathy than those of women and children who come to appeal for elemency on behalf of relatives who are in prison. It. is common sight upon entering the outer office of the gover- nor at the capitol to find in waiting a mother with a group of children of varying ages, and whose need of some one to take care of them is frequently apparent without a word being spoken. i Mayor W. A. Gunter, Jr., of Mont. gomery, recently commented on a case of this kind which he noted on visit to the capitol. He saw a woman with five children, who said that she had two others back home, seeking execu- tive clemency for her husband. The woman declared that she wished her husbands release, not. because of any bad effect of prison life on him, that, on the contrary he had gained over 40 pounds in weight since imprisoned, but that she and her children were in great need. The case was cited as one of many illustrations of innocent sufferers for fathers misdeeds.

Sure Way to Get
 Rid of RIaeIxha.d.

There is one simple, safe and sure way that never fails to get rid of blackheads, that Is to dissolve them.
 To do this get two ounces of caIo- nite powder from any drug store sprinkle a little on hot, wet cloth the parts and you will be surprised how the blackheads have disappeared. Big Dlackheads, little blackheads, no mat ter where they are, simply dissolve ana disappear. Blackheads are a mixture of dust and dirt and secretions that form m the pores Of the skin. The calonite powder and the water dissolve the 6lackheads so they wash right out, leay- ing the pores free and clean and in their natural condition.-Adv,
