Faced with the loss of her teeth,
after 10 years suffering, Mrs. NJ. J..
Travis, an esteemed resident of
Jacksonville, declares she finally
saved her teeth by simple home
treatment: "worth it's weight in
gold" using her own words: CAT
ter having pyorrhea for 10 years
my mouth is now healed. Before
I found out differently, I was told
there was no relief and had yielded
to the loss of six fine solid teeth.
Then I discovered Moores pyor3
rhea treatment. Three days after
starting it's use, the soreness left
my gums; my teeth began to
tighten. Now NY teeth are clean,
my breath sweet, and my mouth
completely healed"
The experience of Mrs. Travis
is duplicated in hundreds of other
cases. If you have pyorrhea-or
threatened with pyorrhea your teeth
are in danger. Quick and effective
treatment is necessary. You can
test, without money risk, the treat
ment used by Mrs. Travis. Simply

OLD COURT HOUSE
MAY BE LEASED
No Mortgage Possible,
However, Is Ruling In
Friendly Suit

The board of revenue has right to
lease the present courthouse property
and use the income to pay interest on
bonds or other expenses connected with
the erection of a new courthouse on the
site facing Woodrow Wilson park but
it has no right to place n mortgage
on it.
This ruling was given out Saturday
by Judge William NJ. Walker of the
chancery court in granting in part n
petition filed by Fred NJ. Jackson for
an injunction to restrain the board
from either mortgaging or leasing the
property. That part of the petition re-
lating to mortgaging it was granted,
but Judge Walker declined to interfere
with the boards right to lease the pres
ent site.
The petition. filed through Robert
G. Tate. attorney for Mr.. jackson in

of the property, asked for a permanent
injunction. Respondents to the petition

.BROWER CHARGES
ATTEMPT MADE TO
MlSLEAD VOTERS
Says Friends Assure Him
Of Election To National
Committee

State Senator Walter Brewer, can
didate for democratic national commit
teeman from Alabama, charged in 9
statement Saturday that Walter Moore
his opponent, is circularizing the state
with misleading propaganda in an ef
fort to ride into office on the coat-tail
of Senator Oscar Underwood"
Some of this propaganda has ap'
peared in certain newspapers, he said
He called attention TO a~story in The
Montgomery Advertiser which de-
clared it would be a mistake to have
an opponent of Senator Underwood in
New York in June holding a seat on
the powerful national committee.
This is clearly wilfui attempt on
the part of Mr.. Moore and his reac-
tionary friends to mislead the people,
Mr.. Brewer asserted. Il say wilful
for the reason that it cannot be pos
sible that Mr.. Moore, as member Of
the national committee, is ignorant of
the fact that the last democratic ma
tional convention passed resolution

the new committee would not assume
office until after adjournment of the
national convention and that the old
committee would function until adj
journment of the June convention. This.
Of course. means that / would not
take office untH the convention fin
ished its session.
Mr.. Brewer in support of his state
ment. quoted from letter written by
Cordell Hull, national democratic chair
man, as follows:
According to the resolution of the
last democratic national convention,
members of the new democratic ma
tional committee will not assume office
until the expiration of the democratic
national convention. The old members
function until that time
Mr.. Brewer said the people of Ala
bama who had been watching for years
'the actions of the reactionary element
were not surprised to see them will
fully spread such false propaganda"
Whenever the Opportunity has pre-
sented itself, these reactionaries have
misled and misrepresented the people,
he continued.

do the people want progressive. dry

do they want wet, who always has
been aligned with the reactionaries to
continue to misrepresent them on the
committee
Mr.. Brewer said he had been busily
engaged in the courts and had not been
able to make tour of the state as he
had planned. However, he added. his
candidacy Has met with gratifying
response from all sections.
Leading democrats in every county"
he said, tell me that my election is
