How to Remove an
 Unsightly Complexion

Cosmetics can never really help . poor complexion; often they are posi- lively harmful. The sensible thing is to actually remove the thin veil of stifling, half-dead scarf skin and give the fresh, vigorous, beautiful young skin underneath . chance to show itself and to breathe.
 This is best done by merely applying mercolixed wax at night, like cold cream, washing 1t off in the morning. The wax can be obtained from any druggist in original one-ounce pack age. It absorbs the disfiguring cuticle gradually, harmlessly, leaving . pure, young, natural complexion. Of course this also takes with 1t all such blem- ishes as oiliness, red blotches, moth patches. liver spots, pimples, freckles, etc. As complexion beautifier this old-fashioned remedy Ia uneQualed.- Adv.

CRAZY DRUNK
 POLICE STATE
Trial Of Alleged Wife Murderer Opens With
 States Testimony

Attempts by the prosecution to prove that the defendant was not on good terms with his wife and had threatened her life featured the trial Wednesday of Joe c. Cushman, charged with the murder of Mrs. Cushman, January 16. The case is being tried before Judge H. P. Heflin.
 A plea of not guilty by reason of in- sanity caused by drinking bad whisky was entered in behalf of the defendant by Fred Woodland, his attorney. It is claimed that he was in such a condi- tion that he did not know what he was doing.
 Mrs. Minnie Nails, neighbor of the Cushmans, was placed on the stand as one of the star witnesses for the prose- cution, testifying that she heard him say he would kill her as easy as taking a drink of water"
 Will Sandemyer, policeman who made the arrest, stated that the de- fendant was "crazy drunk" at the time he was taken ip custody and placed in the county jail. Assistant Solicitor J. F. Mccoy said he expected to show that he became drunk after shooting his wife. John Benson, Mrs. Cush- mans brother, testified that the shoot ing occurred in his house and described how he found her body. H. P. Pearson, another witness, said he was at Ben sons home the night of the alleged mur- der and heard six shots fired.
 The case was continued until Thurs day. Assistant Solicitor Mccoy is in charge of the prosecution, while Fred Woodland is representing the defendant.

L[lECED THREAT 10 MURDER WIFE
 E TOLD IN TRIAL
Ratliff And Wife Were Quarreling Prior To
 Killing, Is Said

The trial of Charles Ratliff, charged with the murder of his wife February Fl. centered Wednesday in the attempt of Solicitor Jim Davis to prove that the defendant had made several threats aFninst Mrs. Ratliff just before she is alleged to have been killed while riding in an automobile with her husband on fh8 Bessemer highway.
 Two witnesses were placed on the stand to show that they were not on rood terms and one witness repeated threat she said she heard the defend ant make to the effect that he was go- ing to ''take you to the woods where nobody will see us and kill you"
 Mrs. D. Ray, owner of boarding house in Bessemer, where Mir. and Mrs Hatliff are said to have spent the night jpst before the killing, testified that nhe heard him threaten her. She also eaM she thought he had knife at the time they left the house.
 Mrs. Ray was followed by Mrs. Lil- I'm Allen, who lives at the Bessemer bbarding house, and said she was there The night Mrs. Ratliff is alleged to have been killed. She testified that she heard them quarreling in their room up stairs and that they continued their &H@oAkCA HI thC AODDg u was she who mentioned the threat to take Mrs. Ratliff to the woods and Kill her.
 B. l.. Hubbard, city detective, who saw Ratliff in the Birmingham General hospital and later went with him to the scene of the murder, described the bridge where the defendant claims his wife fell from the car when he turned aharply to avoid striking an animal in the road. He said Ratliff made a state ment to him at the hospital that his wife fell from the car when he tried to dodge hole in the road. When he and the defendant went with another of ficer to the bridge, he said, they could not find any hole such as the one men, toned. The witness then testified that he found some hair on the bridge, ap- parently that of woman, but added that he did not think it was that of Mrs. Ratliff.
 The trial attracted much attention, the courtroom being crowded practically all day.

Stressing the point that Muscle Shoals with its nitrate plants would be the salient objective in an invasion of America, and that its defense would lie largely in the hands of Birmingham's s reserve forces, Brig. Gen. William H. Johnston made strong plea for pre- paredness in an address at the Green wood cafe Wednesday evening.
 General Johnston's talk, which was made before an audience composed of officers of both the regular and reserve forces, bristled with military urgings. During his speech he rapped the Box peace plan, particularly the provision suspending the manufacture of war ma terials.

BOWLING PRAISES HEALTH STATUS HOOkwOrm Infection Less In County Than Any
 where Else

There is less hook-worm disease in Jefferson county, Alabama, than in any other county of the state or any other state in the south, "and it is not due to any particular action of the health authorities" said Dr. J. D. Bowling, Wednesday.
 When hook-worm eradication was as familiar a cry as "No taxation with out representation" Remember the River Raisin," or Remember the Maine," the Jefferson county authorities went out after the beast that looks like an eyelash hangs to the walls of the alimentary canal and lives on blood.
 But the searchers found the county remarkably free from infection. Other counties in Alabama, when the school children were examined, reported al- most 100 per cent infection. But lief ferson county schools showed an aver age of 10 per cent only, before any eradication work was started.
 Dr. Bowling explained the matter by the simple statement that the highly mineralized soil of Jefferson county hook-worm larvae.
 w. A. Hardenbergh, sanitary en- gineer of Jefferson county, believes that campaigning against typhoid fever is equally efficacious in hook-worm con trol, for both infections spread in the same matter. Hardenberg has inter ested communities and industries of Alabama in typhoid control to the ex- tent that many thousands of dollars have been spent in stamping out typhoid and incidentally curbing hook-worm disease.
 Its Jefferson county that is keep ing the hook k-worm down." Dr. Wowling said, "and to the way the county soil is constituted goes the full credit. What we expect to do is in the not far distant future is to get after the re- maining infection and stamp it out"
