TEAMS LINE UP FOR
TOMORROW GAME
AUBURN HAS A CRACK TEAM
OF OLD BIRMINGHAM PLAYERS
TO MEET ATHLETIC cLUB-THE
LAST OF THE SEASON.

The basketball game between Auburn
and the Athletic club tomorrow night
will be exactly like two local teams play
ing, for the reason that four of Auburn's
team are Birmingham boys and the fifth
is from Greater Birmingham-that is Bes-
seraer.
Frank Jones, their captain. and center,
has been playing for five or six years with
the Athletic club and Howard college,
and is an athlete of recognized ability.
Bob Ware and Charley Woodruff played
forwards on Birmingham championship
team last season, and are as fine a team
of forwards as can be found in the south.
Dewitt Gibson, one of their guards is
an old Athletic club player. Their Other
guard is Paul Lally of Bessemer, who is
known here as captain of last seasons
football team.
Auburn has numerous friends and
alumni here, to lend them every encour-
agement from the waters gallery, and
besides they are almost as familiar with
the local court as is the birmingham
team. This is a great advantage for a
visiting team.
Birmlngham's forwards will be VIII
Biddle, Mcbride or Sparks Jones. Center
will be played by Captain Berry and Joe
Biddle and Eugene Jones play guards.
This is one of the best teams the Ath-
letic club has ever had together, with the
exception that the three forwards are new
and somewhat given to stage fright. Biz
mingham's center qnd guards could hard
ly be improved upon, as all are tough
ened and experienced players.
If Birmingham doesn't win, it will be
because the Athletic club has trained the
Auburn team too well, before the boys
went to college.
Reserved seats can be obtained by
ploning 1920.

COUPLES NIGHT
A GREAT SUCCESS
OVER TWO HUNDRED COUPLES
ENJOY SPORT AT THE SKATING
AUDlToRIUM-ToO MANY TO
TAKE PART IN GRAND MARCH.

The second of the series of Wednesday
couples nights at the skating audto-
rum was another great success last night,
there being 225 couples on the floor. The
entertainment opened with a grand march
in which only 1856 couples could take
part, owing to the fact that the line
extended all the way around the rink
before all the couples had reached the
floor.
Manager Whiting announced last night
that he had closed arrangements for two
games of roller polo against the team
representing the Atlanta rink. These
games will be played Thursday and Fri
day night of next week. and the Binming-
ham players are of the opinion they
will make it more than an interesting
match for the visitors. Practice is being
had daily under the supervision of Man
ager Whiting, and the local team is much
stronger than it was when the Atlanta
team scored victory here the night the
auditorium was first formally opened to
the public.

A INDICATION FOR DR.. PIERCE.
Decision by the Supreme Court of the
State Against the Ladies' Home
journal.

A verdict has been rendered in favor
of the plaintiff in the libel suit brought
against the Ladies Home journal (pub-
lished by the Curtis Publishing company
by the Worlds Dispensary Medical asso-
citation, of which Dr. r. V. Pierce is presi-
dent. The suit was brought by Doctor
Pierce against the Curtis Publishing COM
pany for making false statements about
one of his standard family medicines
known as DIR. Pierces Favorite Prescrip-
ton. In the May number of the Ladies'
Home Journal 5000, Mr. Edward Box,
the editor, stated that DIR. Pieree's Fa-
vorite Prescription contained alcohol and
some other harmful ingredients, and DIR.
Pierce had in the action alleged that the
defendant malcously published this arti-
Gle containing such false and defamatory
matter. DR.. Pierce further claimed that
no alcohol is or ever was contained in
his "Favorite Prescription" that said
medicine was vegetable preparation and
contained no deeterious ingredients what
ever; that Mr.. Bok's statement, pretend
ing to give some of the ingredients of
said medicine, was wholly and absolutely
false. During the trial, the vice presi
dent of the Worlds Dispensary Medical
association stated that the ingredients of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription were
extracted from the following native roots:

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient dsinfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more
you take of 1t the better; 1t is not drug
at all. but simply absorbs the gases and
Impurities always present in the stomach
and intestnes and carries them out Of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and emnently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
disinfects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money, is in
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges: they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow

This question opens an interest

sufficed. For a while no two persons
bore the same name, but as a stock of
