 The Line-up.

The first league Of basketball teams ever formed in the south opens in Bir- minEhsm tonight \ milestone in the popularity of the second greatest winter sport. the organization of this league, has placed the south on an equal footing with any other section.
 No more will the northern colleges come down to conquer. While several years ago they went through the south like a cyclone. during the last few years they have been played to standstiil, crippled and winded. until some of the old standeys have refused to send so far Into the enemys country.
 Basketball had reached such stage in the south that the people demanded league. Interest and everything else cen ters not in the northern colleges. but in the southern cities. and the idea of form ing a unit which will decide the cham nionshin of the south definitely was no sooner mentioned than it became popular everywhere
 To President W. F Fry of Montgomery is due the credit for beginning and push ing the movement. When the representa- lives of the teams met here in October they elected him president. and Mir Fry has taken hold with vim.
 He will be in Birmingham tonight and make a short talk opening the league. When he hos thrown up the ball in center for the first time the fight for real honor will begin and during the next three months intersst and excitement will be al most as high as during the summer base ball season.

PREVALENCE OF COLDS
 IN PRESENT WEATHER

Doctors all say that, as a result Of the ehnnneahle weather We are now having here. there are more severe colds at pres enf than at any other time this year, though fortunately there have been as vet comparatively few fatal cases of pneu- monla
 Among those who have oolds-and they are many at this season of the year there are always some who say to them selves. this ia only cold When their friends and family advise them to sec a physician they reply that when their cold has run its length fl will cure it- self
 Just this mistake costs the lives Of thou sands of men and women each year. The ruth of tho matter is that while great many oolds do under proper conditions, rn,1 themselves out there is always the chance that any cold If neglected, will settle as deep congestion on the lungs and perhaps go into pneumonia. This Is especially true of elderly people and of women with delicate constitutions. for the cold in itself is facilitating, and, if left fe itself may 90 overcome the vital re- distance that pneumonia may find an easy victim Especially is it foolhardN te neglect cold now since the best methods of treatment are so simple and 50 well known.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-17

It is Co be borne in mind that the treatment of all colds must accomplish three things: First, it must prevent ris- ing temperature. second. t must open the pores and start active seeretion third. t must keep the bowels open. The safest snd quickest method of accomplishing this is to take two grains of Aloduin the last thing at night, hathe the feet in warm water and drink a hot lemonade. This helps open the pores, Take one grain of Alouuin every hour during the next day and you will rid yourself of cold within 24 hours.
 The Alodun. besides being laNatiVe. will check any rise In temperature and loosen the mucus. so that il can be coughed up and spet out. tt also scat ters the congestion and helps the body Co eliminate the infection through the pores of the skin. Any good pharma- oist can supply original packages of Alo= ouin In the form of one grain tablets.
 Surely it Is poor judgment for aay one to neglect treating a cold. when | can he done so easily and inexpensively. It would seem to be enough to be rid Of the headache. running nose and hacking cough to say nothing of the very great chance of the cold settling on the lungs fin the form of pneumonia
