For Growing Boys loo many stores say, “Oh, well! you can't expect to do any bet ter; can't expect a per fect fit on a growing boy.” Poor excuses are better than none, they think — but it’s not good enough for Porter Neel’s. Coats that hunch up in the back until the collar stands away from the neck all around; lapels that strike half way to the back—NO, SIR; not for Porter-Neel’s.

These he will examine at his lab oratory and probably send some of them to the experts at Washington for exam ination. He was unable, until such study and examination, to give an opinion as to the trouble wdth the trees. He did make one suggestion which may well be noted by all who own trees or having to do wdth their trimming. He said that it was a great mistake in trimming the trees to cut the limbs off at any distance from the trunk of the tree. The limbs should be cut close up to the trunk, the cut being made by saw ing from below upwards at flrsj and then down from above. In this wray there wdll be less breakage and a smoother sur face left. TMsi surface should then be painted thickly wdth white lead. In this way the woupd caused by removing the limb wdll liave^ an opportunity to heal over without any decay setting in. If the limb is cut at a distance from the trunk the nub or stump left is bound to de cay anti in doing so will leave a hole Into the trunk of the tree througlf which in sects readily make their way and which generally becomes a point of decay In the tree. Professor McIntosh was greatly im pressed by the beautiful trees of the city and thought it was a pity that the city wfas not financially able to have an ex pert forester looking after them all the time. He will prepare a full report on the condition of the trees wdth suggestions for their preservation and the same wdll be published by the newspapers of the city for the information of the people.

The anti-Comer contingent around Mont gomery is feeling greatly encouraged over the election of three anti-Comer senators in three of Alabama's most important senatorial districts. They take this to mean that Mr. Comer is correspondingly weak in the three districts. It was known that Mr. Comer was opposed to Charles ( B. Teasley of Montgomery, Max Ham burger, Jr. of Mobile and Fred Blackmon of Calhoun, still these young men won by handsome majorities. The Comer peo ple here, and they are not a few, attach no significance to the nomination of these three senators. Incorporation Papers Filed.

I am now well of the rheumatism air'd think Anti-Pain Pills done me more good than all the other medi cines. I first heard of them through the following circum stance that happened at our home two years ago. A friend, Mrs. Brown, of Orion, Mich., came to visit us. She had not been able to dress herself or comb her own hair for months. A friend of ours came in and seeing her suffering offered her some Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. She laughed at the i lea of relief from such a source after doctoring for so long, hut took one one of the tablets with the remark that it would at least do her no harm. She took another that evening, and the next morning she was so elated that she went to the druggist's and got a package and took them home with her. Re cently she was here again, and told us that she continued taking the pills, and that one box cured her, and she has not had a symptom of rheumatism since.” S. R.
