STATE AUTHORIZED
 ITO CLEAR LANDS
But Privilege Does Not Apply
 To Forest Reserves
lState Capital Bureau.l

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 15.-An opinion defining the authority of the state board of administration in the matter of clearing state lands for agri- cultural purposes was furnished today by J. Fred Johnson, assistant attorney general. The opinion held that the board of administration may clear such lands as have been purchased for agri- cultural purposes, but not the other lands of the state which have been declared to be forest reserves and game refugse.
 The conservation act as amended in 1923 declared all lands belonging to that state to be forest reserves and game refuges. There is special statute, however, authorizing the board of administration to sell and purchase agricultural lands suitable for use in working coRvicts and to imporve these lands for farm purposes.
 In his opinion reconciling the two statutes MT. Johnson davised the board of administration as follows:
 "You may cut trees and do such other things as may be needful or prop CT to render suitable for cultivation such lands of the state as may have been purchased for this purpose by virtue of the special statute referred to immediately herein above.
 However, this authority does not extend to the other lands held by the state either in fee or in trust which by the general act above quoted are declared to be, and are to be preserved as, forest reserves and game refuges." |"

COLDS THAT DEVELOP INTO
 ? NEU MONA

Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious lung trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that Is pleasant to take. Creomulsion Is a new medical discovery with twofold action; 1t soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and kills the germ.
 Of all known drugs, creosote is rec ognized by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treat ment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat and lung troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed mem branes and stop the irritation and in flammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and destroys the germs that lead to consumption.
 Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac- tory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal bronchitis and other forms of throat and lung diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or the flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long stand ing, is not relieved after taking accord ing to directions. Ask your druggist Creomulsion Co.,. Atlanta, Ga. (Adv0

RAINS REPLENISH
 SUPPLY OF POWER
Power Company Forced To Use
 Coal During Drought

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 15.- heavy general rains over the state in the past few days have filled the reser- voirs of the Alabama Power company and enabled operation conditions to come back to normal. The longest drought the company has ever experi- enced reduced the water power to such an extent that the company was forced to generate practically all its power by steam with an excessive expense.
 The power company has burned coal in its plans over the state for the past 65 days, approximately 2,500 tons be- ing consumed daily in maintaining separate plants and power stations. Now that the drought has been broken, the excessive expense will be at an end and the use of hydroelectric power will begin again, officials stated. Ap- proximately 9S per cent. of the power has been developed by steam.
