JELKS ORDERS INSPECTION
 OF THE THIRD INFANTRY
General Officers Directed to Visit Twelve Companies at Home StatiOns--May Muster Out
 HigdOn'S Old Command.

General Louis V. Clarke, commanding the Alabama Brigade of Infantry, General R. F. Ligon. Inspector General. and Gen. eral w. w. Brandon, Adjutant General, acting under orders of Governor Jelks. will inspect the companies composing the 3rd Infantry of the Alabama National Guard
 The formal order for this inspection which Is to begin March F, was issued yesterday from the office of the Adjutant General The order is regarded by local military men as of special significance. It Is taken to foreshadow the long-delayed settlement of the dissension and strife in the regiment.
 The local military men take it that the future of the 3rd Infantry rests upon the report of the inspecting officers. If they should report to tho Governor that many of the companies are inefficient, their membership lacking in interest in the welfare of the company, and a lack of care for the States property it is believed the regiment will be mustered out of ser- vice as a regiment.
 | If on the other hand the report should state that the disaffection in the regiment is being allayed and a quickening interest in the affairs of the companies is notice ,, able 1t Is believed that the recommenda ton of the inspecting officers will be that every help should be given the 3-d to- wards restoring 1t to its old-time effi- ciency.
 In short, the life of the regiment is de- pendant upon the report of Generals Clarke. Ligon and Brandon. This deduc- tion is simple inasmuch as the order for inspection applies only to the 3rd. The officers are not instructed to inspect eith- CT the End or the 1st regiments.
 Beyond the giving out of the order noth- ing was learned from the State military officers at the Capitol The order in full is as follows: 'State of Alabama, ''Offlce of Adjutant General.
 Montgomery, February 27, 1924. General Order No. 1.

Gentlemen'S Spring Suits,


 The average Clothing stock is dreadfully monotonous. Sameness, sameness, same ness. Whatever the price there's deci- ded resemblance between all the styles. There's a dead-level of mediocrity in quality, pattern and colorings. The gath ering here, however, affords relief. Nov city, novelty, novelty. We show an inn
 mense variety of swell effects. Our gar ments have all the extra touches that only painstaking and careful tailors give. No- tice the finishing. You've never seen better or finer.
 It is folly for you to buy before seeing this display. If you are a staunch custo- mer of another store come and look at these for the sake of comparison. It will pay.

 Hundreds of others, in all walks of life. have written us. praising our great remedy for the great benefit they have derived from It's use.
 FOR THE KIDNEYS, RHEUMATISM and CATARRH, BLACK-WEED never fails to give entire satisfaction. It has been used in hundreds of cases and we have never yet had the slightest com plaint, but every mail brings us the most f1attering letters from those who have de- rived so much good from it.

WHAT THE KING EATS
What's Fit for Him.

A Massachusetts lady who has been
through the mill with the trials of the
usual housekeeper and mother relates
an interesting incident that occurred
not long ago. She says:
Il can with all truthfulness say
that Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial
of all cereal foods in my family. young
as well as old. It is food and medi-
cine both to us. A few mornings ago
at breakfast my little boy said:
Mamma, does the King eat
Grape-Nuts every morning.?
Il smiled and told him 1 did not
know but that I thought Grape-Nuts
certainly made a delicious dish, fit for
a King" CTS a fact that the King of
England and the German Emperor
both eat Grape-Nuts).
Il find that by the constant use of
cereal but also in buildings, salads,
etc, made after the delicious recipes
found in the little book in each pack
age. it is proving to be a great nerve
food for me besides having complete
ly cured a long standing case of indi-
gestion.'' Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
There is no doubt Grape-Nuts is tn g
most scientific food in the world.
Ten days trial of this proper food
in place of improper food will show
in steady, stronger nerves, sharper
brain and the power to go" longer
and further and accomplish more.
There's a reason.

little book. THE Road to Wellville."

The Saints have had more than
their share of the injuries this year.
The misfortunes began right at the
beginning of the year, even before the
season opened, at which time Harry
La France, in a preliminary game had
his leg broken, and is still in the hos
pital. Then WOFral, who has since
been discarded, sprained his ankle so
badly that he was unable to play for
at least three weeks. Bevis and Cole
coIlided in the game at Sedalia- Sun
day before last, and both were badly
bruised. The next day Bevis was hit
on the leg by by a batted ball in prac-
tice and it took him from the game
for a week. On the same day Carter.
who was substituting in the Sun-gar-
den was struck in the face by high
fiy, receiving bruises about his eye,
mouth and cheek which kept him
from the game for six days. Monday,
Olson joined the list by getting a
grOunder. However, everybody is back
into the game again, even the little

would be in the left wing of the in
field for the second game with Pitts
burg this afternoon. After the injury
to Olson, patrons of the game began

dations on the ball ground. They do
not realize that it costs mighty close
to $1,000 month to run the ball
team Yet with an attendance that
won't warrant the expenditure of such
an amount OF money, there are people
who blame the association for not
running it's team in National league
