Caught
Cold i!

How often it happens that seri-
Gus illness, and sometimes death,
is directly traceable to a common
cold. After it is too late, what
would we not give to have
checked tho cold at the start,
when it would have quickly
yielded TO simple home treat
mentf
One of the most effective rem
edies for coughs and colds is
made by mixing two ounces of
glycerine, a half-ounce Of Virgin
Oil OF Pine compound pure and
eight ounces of pure Whisky
These can be bought in any good
drug store and easily mixed in
a large bottle. 1t is claimed by
the Leach Chemical company of
Cincinnati, who prepare the gen
uine Virgin Oil of Pine COM
pound pure, that a teaspoonful
of this mixture four times a day
will break up cold in twenty
four hours, and cure any cough
that is durable.

Much of the success OF the Fairmont

some of the best drivers on the horse
show circuit, she more than held her
own, and when the competition was
the keenest she displayed her. driy-

show in the history of that town. 1t is
TO be held February 21-26 and every eff
fort is being made to make it one of the
most successful events of the kind ever
held in this country. Nearly every Amer
lean manufacturer has already signided
his intention of having cars at the show.
In Ohio the registering and licensing of
automobiles is under the control of the
state government. Since the first of the
year there have been nearly 25,090 licenses
Issued, and State Registrar Fred H. Galley
estimates that the total number of IL
eenses taken out in that state during 1910
viii be not less than 10000.
little calculation with these figures
reveals an astonishing fact. Figuring an
average cost of $1,000, which is much
less than the automobile trade journals
estimate as the average price of ma
chine. it will be seen that Ohio has al
ready invested over $50, Co., coo in automo-
hiles, while conservative estimates point
to a further investment of over $4,000, 900
during this year.
The licenses issued are only for automo-
bies in actual use. In addition to this the
state of Ohio manufactures nearly 1000
automobiles every day, and the amount
Ct money invested in these plants goes
way UP into the millions.
1t would be rather a hard proposition
to figure up the amount of money in
vested in automobiles in Alabama, as each
municipality issues automobile licenses
and the state government keeps no record

ever would run the figures well up into
the millions

One of the most strenuous of path

won such reputation by the pathinding
trip he made last spring in a Chalmers
Detroit from Denver to Mexico City. He
became a great favorite in the Mexican
capital, where he was entertained by
President Diaz. He will return TO Mexico
City shortly where he will take part in
a number of races.
A recent interview with him tells some
thing OF the hardships of the pathfinder
In a sparsely settled country. 1t reads:
1.-The pleasure of this second trip to
Mexico will be added to by the fact that
won't have to make any roads across
the desert and that l will be able to get

Victor Waid of Altoona has made the
announcement that he has invented the
best automobile tire in the world. and
that it will revolutionze automobling
The point of superiority on which espe-
clal stress is laid is that the outer cas-
ing is made of steel. In describing the
tire Mr. Waid said:
No rubber will be used in the outer
casing, steel only being used. The thread
however, will be as soft and elastic as
the best rubber tire and this offers
combination which is no doubt desirable
to automobile owners 1t also prevents
skiddng features. the construction of 1t
being such as to prevent skidding and
therefore doing away with the use of
chains during wet ather or on rugged
roads. The tire is also practically pune
ture proof while 1t will be possible to
run the tire over the toughest of coun-
try roads without any apparent damage
by stumps and rocks"
AT present Mr.. Waid is a little shy
about making public description of the
tire as his application for a patent Is
still pending. AS soon as the patent is
received though he states he will make
a public demonstration of it in Birming-
ham.

FOUR ESCAPE FROM
GADSDEN PRISON
COUNTY JAIL OF ETOWAH is BAD
PLACE TO KEEP BAD MEN-HOW-
ARD is GIVEN ENDORSEMENT FOR
CONGRESS

Gadsden, February 12.-(Special) Am
other Jail delivery took place last night
when four prisoners made their escape
from the county prison. The men who
broke out were J. n. Goddard and j. L.
Edwards, charged with forgery. Isaac
Aiken, charged with incest, and Rufe
Bright. brought here from Marshall coun-
ty for safe keeping, held under a peace
bond. The men broke out of their cells
by the use of piece of gas pipe and
then dug through the brick walls of
the jail with very little difficulty. This
is the second escape within the last
month and will probably awaken the
people to the necessity of building new
Jail. The old one has been condemned by
the state authorities.
At a meeting of the creditors of the
Weller Rolling Mill and Forge company,

there is dispute as to who is the owner.
This matter Is to be decided by the bank
ruptcy court. 1t Is possible that the
plant will be put in operation pending
an adjustment of the differences. Mr..
Parsons originally installed the plant and
is therefore familiar with 1t and thinks
he can secure the steel necessary to run
the property at a profit.
