WATER AND APPENDICITIS.

Louisiana Democrat: The drinking Of
an abundance of water will prevent ap-
pendicitis, because appendicitis is the
result of constipation and constipation is
the result of insufficient supply of wa
ter. That's what an exchange says, any
way. If anybody wants any further
reasons they'll have to go elsewhere, for
we're not here to run the doctors out of
business.

(By United Press Leased Wire)
CADILLAC, Mich, Dec. 9.-The
announcement of Tom Jones that
an X-ray examination of the right
arm of Ad. Wolgast showed that
the lightweight champion would
not be fit to enter the ring before
March is failing to make a very
great impression among the sport
ing fraternity here today. The
"ulna" joke is overworked, they
say, and for the good of the fight
game and all concerned Wolgast
had best quit his stalling tactics
and come out and fight. Jones said
the bone was healing nicely in
Wolgast's injured arm. In order
not to have it broken over again,
however, he said, he would not
permit his protege to engage in a
fight until it had been given suf-
ficient time to harden.
Jones said Wolgast could not
possibly fight before the last of
March, and it probably would be
April or May before he would be
ready to defend his title.

COTTON TRADING
 ON BETTER BASIS Iop-Heavy Condition Is Re- Iieved By the Recent Decline SPOT MARKET SILL FIRM Belief Exists That Market Has Too Many Bears Now, Which Will
 Make It Easy to Advance
 Prices Again.
SPOT MARKET SILL FIRM

New York, January 21.-Prices show a small net improvement for the week, but confidence in the stability of prices has been seriously shaken by the re- cent decline of s13.50 a bale. Spinners have been buying futures pretty heav- fly during the last week or 10 days, but to all appearances they have stuck 10 their policy of buying the actual cot ton on a very sparing scale.
 It is said however, that about 10000 bales of the New York stock will be shipped by representatives. of James A. Patton to southern mills. One or two days spot sales at Liverpool have in- creased, but taken as a whole spinners It home and abroad seem more en- couraged than ever to play a waiting game. Yet advices from Manchester are to the effect that there is an in- creasing demand for cotton goods from Indian centers.
 Western, Wall street and southern liquidation during the last two weeks has been on so thorough going a scale that the technical situation has been greatly improved. especially as much of the cotton thus liquidated has gone into the hands of spinners and ex- porters For the first time in nearly two months exporters nave been able to secure cotton on an export basis. Then, too, the short interest has lat terly increased materially.
 Some think, indeed, that the tendency which was at one time to overdo the bull side, has now gone to the other extreme, and believe there are too many bears.
 The spot markets have yielded grudgingly as the spot holder fights the decline in futures. Speculation has been overdone and prices have col lapsed, but 1t is maintained by the believers in an ultimate advance that the fundamental situation remains ab- solutely unchanged That Is to say, it is still urged that there is dis parity between the probable crop and the probable consumption of anywhere from two to three million bales.
 At the same time speculation has received a decided check. Several fall ures in Wall street, including one of house which was a member of the cotton exchange, have added to the domoralization. Some southern opera tors who recently bought on the first sharp decline have sold out again.
 Friday the tone was stronger. The crop Is still believed to be small Whether consumption will be pared sufficiently to meet the decrease in the annual supply is something on which the trade is waiting.

There has been a marked improvement in the payment of poll taxes in Ensley during the past few days. due in part to the work done by canvassing the town and to the fact that since the date of the primary has been definitely set, many candidates have been in evidence in Beat 45

ADJUSTMENTS.
"Littje Memo"

There has been a steady demand for Little Nemo' seats ever since the box office opened Thursday morning and the indications are the engagement of Klaw x Erlangers mammoth musical comedy will be the event of the year. The Lit tie Memo" company is so large that IL ordinarily only plays week stands and for this reason Birmingham is particu- larly fortunate to have the privilege Of seeing the big production Monday. Tues day and Wednesday nights and Wednes- day matinee. The company. scenery, equipment and baggage is transported in a special train invariably. There are V cars in the Little Memo" special ani every railroad movement to be made dur ing the next D weeks has all been con- tracted for. The time the company starts from any city as far ahead as next June is all typewriter and pigeonholed in the various railroad offices throughout the country.
 One of the features of this big pro- duction while travelling from town to town is distinct novelty to the show world and is the invention of Stage Director Carlton. Owing to the intricacy of several of the dancing numbers and ballets some of the girls during the early part of the season are expected to forget a few minor details in their movements about the stage. This is all ways true of every big show for some weeks after the season begins. To ob- 4l.g.. T will carry for month or so two empty Pullman cars dismantled of all chairs and the usual partitions. These cars will be used to rehearse ensemble dances while the company is travelling, So that no time may be lost when the show cessity for a rehearsal. If this had to be done on the stage after the show had arrived in towns it would delay the hanging of the scenery and the sorting of the costumes, which with the stagger- ing amount of detail work necessary be- fore the curtain goes up, requires ex- actly 171s hours at break-neck speed on the part of 70 men. Despite this Lit tie Memo" gets to town and every man knows what he has to do. Experience has taught him the quickest and best way to do it and the result is that there is no noise or confusion; everybody and everything falls Into the regular groove and slowly but with all possible speed order results where in the hands of in experienced people chaos would be cer- tain.

Beware Pneumonia!

According to mortality statis- ties, pneumonia Is one of the most frequent and fatal diseases to which humanity Is subject. It's action Is so rapid that its victim is often in a precarious condi- tion before realizing that any thing more serious is the mat ter than a severe cold.
 This is one Of the dangers apt to follow the neglect of a cough or cold, and is therefore the best of reasons why one should check a cold at the start. A simple, in- expensive and effective remedy 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 mixed together in a large bottle. Take a teaspoonful four times a day. It Is claimed by the Leach Chemical Co, of Cincinnati, who prepare the gen. uine Virgin oil of Pine com pound pure that this mixture will break up cold in twenty four hours and cure any cough that is curable.
