ENDS AT ONCE ALL
 STOMACH DISTRESS
A Little Diapepsin Cures Indigestion, Gas, Heartburn or Dyspepsia
 in Five Minutes

If you have some Diapepsin handy and would take little now your stomach distress or Indigestion would vinish in five minutes and you would feel fine.
 This harmless preparation will di- gest anything you eat and overcome a sour, out of order stomach before you realize it.
 If your meals don't tempt you. or what little you do eat seems to fill you. or lays like a lump of lead in your stom- ach, or if you have heartburn, that Is . sign of Indigestion.
 Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and take . little just as soon as you can. There will be no sour risings, no belching of undigested food mixed with acid, no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea, Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness or In- testinal griping. This will all go, and. besides. there will be no undigested food left over in the stomach to poison your breath with nauseous odors.
 Pape's Diapepsin Is a certain curo for out-of-order stomachs, because 1t prevents fermentation and takes hold of your food and digests 1t just the same as if your stomach wasn't there.
 Relief in five minutes from all stom- ach misery is at any drug store wait. ing for you.
 These large 50-cent cases of Pape'v contain more than sufficient to thoroughly cure almost any case of Dyspepsia, Indigestion or any other stomach disturbance.

HOLMES RETURNS
 REPRESENTATION ---.- Pelased With His Visit and Stresses Importance of
 Rescue Work

pr. l.. A.aHolmes, director of the bu- reau of mines returned to Washington last night after Inspecting the local res- cue station and looking over the district yesterday morning. He was the guest of Erskine Ramsay. Culpepper Exum and rr Eugene A. Smith yesterday. The visitor was shown over Birmingham for the first time. An opportunity had not been afforded heretofore on account of the very pressing business of Dr. Holmes on other occasions.
 He was guest at the Dr. George H. Denny luncheon at the University club yesterday afternoon, and also at the football game.
 a pr. Holmes was greatly pleased with his visit to Birmingham on a peace fIl'' mission. He was impressed with the industrial greatness of Birmingham and said that few cities equalled Bir- mingham homes in beauty and the im- pressions they made upon visitors.
 As for the rescue station Dr. Holmes said that institution was detined to ren- der great service to this district He said the training of coal miners at tdrlOuS mines 10 HdHule tHe rescue eQu1p- ment efficiently in times of danger was one of the most important matters before industrial operators.
 "The recent meet at Pittsburg partici- pated in by rescue corps men from every district demonstrated the value of the service and it's growth in the esti- nation of experts.'' said Dr. Holmes. That meeting was one of the most suc- cessful that has been held in, the history Of coal mining and the views secured there and the information absorbed with abundance will be of great benefit to the coal mining companies.
 'I congratulate the corps from the Birmingham district which represented the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. The members of that corps are well trained and reflect great credit upon the men that have been engaged in that work. They will be ready to rem der the most valuable service to this district if the occasion ever offers it. self.,' i,s.r fi s

WHAT CITIZENS THINK
 OF PENDING CONTRACT

| the 5 cent fare to Ensley I consider the
 proposition of the Birmingham Railway,
 Light and Power company fair one.
 They certainly should have the 10 year
 contract if they would make their half
 done concession of the Ensley fare go
 all the way
 "I realize that the company represents
 an investment of hundreds of thousands
 of dollars, and do not think that 10
 years is long for a contract of this na- ture. AThe other reductions are meritor-
 ious and worthy of consideration
 John W. Patton of tho Patton-Pope
 Drug company: Tn the first place, the so
 called cent fare without transfers is
 not reduction at all and defeats the very ends we are working for by being
 so called. But should the Birmingham
 Railway, Light and Power company give
 us transfers on the cent fare l would
 be strongly in favor of the city of Bir-
 mingham making contract with them
 for five years only.
 We never can tell what will happen in five years and in the Magic City. 1t CdH DIlUB dDOuI WOUQSTlui Cldii6Co. lOih years is too long to even think of and
 without the transfers, .s time at all
 would be the best, for believe 1t is only l e question of few months when the
 Ensley fare would have been reduced anyhow.
 | 'The reductions in lighting will save the merchants at least 25 per cent and these concessions are the chief req sons, in my opinion, for giving them the five year agreement provided the Ensley people get their transfers T. Williams of the Williams Music company: What we want is competition in Birmingham for the electricity and gas, and if the city close a deal with the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company for 10 years, 1t will
 keep outside concerns away. It is one of the fundamental principles of busi- ness that two firms selling the same line of goods give the best reults to the people where one house would make them think that they were being robbed even if they were charged moderate prices.
 'I think the cent fare to Ensley should be allowed to include transfers to any part of the city except East Lake That is too much travel, from Ensley to East Lake for cents and would work too much of hardship on the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company in the summer time when many Ensley people patronize the East Lake attractions. But the transfers should
 be given to other points in the city. never theless.
 But the main thing is that the city
 should not sign for 10 years with the coynpany and shut the gates on possi-
 ble competitors"

ST. ELMO LEWIS ID MAKE SPEECH HERE Noted Detroit "Ad" Man Will Give Birmingham
 Some Pointers

The Ad Mems club of this city has
 formally invited the members or the Chamber of Commerce to attend their meeting to be held in the Chamber Of Commerce auditorium on Friday evening, November 2, when D. St. Elmo Lewis' head of the publicity committee of the Detroit board of commerce, and adVer- Using manager of the Burroughs Adding Machine company, will deliver an address. Mir Lewis is in the south to speak 10 the savings bank department Of tho American Bankers association in session at New Orleans November 23, and has consented to address the Birmingham club while in this section of the coun- try.
 MT Lewis is, one of the best known ad- vertising men in the country. He was one of the organizers and first president of the Association of National Advertising Managers. He has delivered addresses in almost every state in the United States, and has written on about every phase of advertising. His book on Financial Advertising is one of the standard ad- yertising works. Another book, The Credit Man and His Work" has had wider sale than any other book ever writ ten on that subject. He has written a. good many other books, and so many im- portant magazine articles that he has forgotten the number.
 MT. Lewis live wire methods are plain ly visible in the enormous growth Of De- troit and Detroit manufacturing. The population of Detroit has increased 6S per cent in the last 10 years, and manufac- turing has increased from $67,O0O,o00 a. year to $19o,oO00O0, which is going some.
 Quito naturally the Birmingham Cham- ber of Commerce and the advertising men of Birmingham are very much interested in the methods which have made Detroit grow. When it was learned in Birming- ham that MT. Lewis was to be in New Orleans on November g, arrangements were made with MT. Lewis through the Birmingham office of the Burroughs com pany to come to Birmingham for the ad- dress. Perhaps there is no man in the country who can do moro toward helping the business men of Birmingham.
 President Richard w. Massey of the Chamber of Commerce has issued cards notifying the members of the acceptance to the invitation from the Ad Mems club, and urging every man to be on hand for this splendid opportunity to hear some Detroit civic slogans

Among the expressions made yes- terday on the proposed 10 year con- tract of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company are the fol- lowing:
 s. 1T. Floyd: Tt occurs to me that the offer made the city by the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company is fair. The contract proposi- ticn is not surprising to business men in as much as the company is entitled to know what may reasonably be ex- pected In the course of 10 years. The Ensley car fare propositoin Is some what complex, but I am inclined to think it fair"
 M. V. Joseph: "Individuals, partner ships and corporations alike should be allowed to make reasonable profit. Public utilities in upbuilding city must have a certain fund to make ex- pansions and those who are benefited by that work. namely, the citizens. should be willing that fair return may be had on the investment"
 E. J. Hudnall. real estate dealer, said: "It seems to me the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company is en- deavoring to cloud the issue by com rates for street and commercial light ing with the question of the cent fare to Ensley, which is the real issue.
 '"They are separate and distinct propositions; one affects the entire dis trict the other only portion of 1t.
 q am unalterably opposed to grant ing the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company any concessions on the ground that they propose a change in the rates to Ensley Notwithstanding the assertion that the company will be a financial loser by the rates pro- posed, I believe I voice the sentiments of large majority of the passengers on the two Ensley lines when I say that they would rather have the pres ent rates with the transfer privileges than those proposed by MT. Ford.
 As see 1t, the company is not g1v- ing one fraction or making any con- sessions other than those forced by impending competition, and conse- quently are not due any consideration for merely meeting that competition. The people of this community are en- titled to the cent fare as moral right if not legal one and should be treated as fairly as the rest of the community"
 Joseph Zinzer of the Peter Zinzer Fur niture company: with the exception of the refusal to grant transfers on

rN that he probably would not have been convicted at all if he had had somebody to juggle the jury.
 'srhe question. however. seems to be a matter of my having said he was con- victed of islander. As I told you, I may have erred in coupling islander with libel. but I'd just as soon be convicted of both as one.

 Brooke Final Statement
 When seen Saturday night by a repre- sentative of The Age-Herald. MT. Brooke gave out the following:
