Dr. Hartman Speaks About
 Catarrh of the Lungs

The medicine actually does infuse new life into the circulation. They feel it's genial influence as soon as it is swallowed This constitutes the turning point in their disease The little assis- tanee which Pe-ru-na gives nature at this important point turns the tide of affairs in favor of the patient

Cabinet and Consular Appointments


 Alabamians played conspicuous part in the recent presidential campaign, and as result 1t is anticipated that Ala bamians will receive a proportionate share of rewards. So far there have been several prominent men of the state sug- gested for Wilson's cabinet a number mentioned for high consular appoint ments, and others named for positions in Washington. all of which appointments would fall, according to precedent, to the pre-convention friends of the President elect, though not necessarily.
 Among those mentioned for d place in President Wilson's cabinet are Governor O'Neal Frank P. Glass Sr., oscar Under- wood, and Henry D. Clayton. Everyone of these four men rendered fine service 10 Wilson before the Election, and should the new President select an Alabamian for his cabinet he will probably name one of the four.
 The most prominent men mentioned in the state for consular appointments are John D. McNeel and Henry J. Willing ham, both of whom were among Wilson's original supporters in the state. Another strong pre-convention friend of Wilson was Gen. Blob Graves, who will proba bly, receive an office in the war depart ment at Washington.
 For the various state offices, the candi- dates are too numerous to mention, and it is doubtful if there is a single federal position in Alabama for which there are not several applicants These applicants are doing all they can to enlist the sup port Of friends in their behalf. and hun dreds of letters have been sent to tho Alabama congressional delegation at Washington asking for aid in the scrani- be for offices. in the state.
 But until il is ascertained what method will be employed in the distribution of federal patronage in Alabama few of the candidates will know what to expect, with the exception. probably. of the original Wilson supporters, who feel that they will be taken care of no matter what sys- tenn is employed.

Will Wilson Follow Prece- dent Set By His Predeces-

 GIVING CLEAN SWEEP
Alabama Took Rather Conspicuous Part in Securing Wilson's Elec- ton and Is Expected to
 Fare We'll
RN L. <. nErrY

Montgomery, December 7.-(Speciai) -
 Just what system President Woodrow Wilson will employ in the distribution of
 federal patronage in Alabama is a sub ject that is receiving a large amount of consideration in official circles in Mont gomery.
 Will President Wilson follow the old established custom, or precedent, in the
 matter of filling offices in this state, or will he adopt new method?
 Her etofore. three methods have been employed by the President First, the congressman from the state have had the principal voice in the appointment of postmasters, marshals ana other officers of similar rank. Second, the senators
 have been the dominating influence in
 the selection of district attorneys, coneo-
 tors of internal revenue, and other high | federal officers in the state, and third.
 the administration has reserved to itself
 the selection of men for offices in Wash
 fngton, consular positions, and other
 places of high rank.
 l In other words. the precedent has been ,. for the administration to select from
 among it's pre-eonvention friends men for
 the higher federal offices, while the con [ gressional delegation has had the largest voice in the appointment of men for po- sitions within the state, although the ad- ministration has reserved to itself the l right to name men for those places in some instances,
 This has been the precedent, and with the exception of former President Roose- veit, who employed the referee system in 1 the south, few Presidents have adopted
 any other policy with reference to the dis
 tribution of federal patronage in Aar bama.
 Sentiment for New Officers The sentiment for new men in practi- cally all of the federal offices in the 1 state seems to be pretty general. While I ft Is admitted that a large number of of- l 1ceholders under the republican admin | istration have shown great competency I In the discharge of their duties and have rendered excellent service both to the
 state and to the government. the demo-
 crats seem unwilling for them to remain | longer in office, and are looking to the incoming administration to fill these of.
 hces with representatives of it's own party
 Had the fortunes of war been moro
 equal during the past IS years. the demo crats in some instances might have beer l willing for a republican to hold offic, for few years longer, but not after I waiting nearly score of years before be- l ing in a position in which they could die
 tate. Sixteen years Is a long time foi l the democrats to wait before they could
 ask for federal appointments, and now
 that their opportunity has come, it is not 1 likely that they will be content unless
 they can secure practically all of the of 1 fees in the state.

EOSTON. Oct, 24--tSpecial) -<From
the showing made thus far, II appears
that the eastern football champion
ship this year will be fought out be-
tween Yale, Princeton. Harvard and
Dartmouth. Cornell and Penn are
completely eliminated by their weak
early season showing. The Army and
Navy have both been defeated and
the Carlisle Indians were tied by
Washington and Jefferson.
Yale. Princeton and Dartmouth
have each played FIVE games to Har-
vard's four. with the following re-
suits In total scores: Princeton, 234-6;
Dartmouth, 1909; Harvard, $50;
Yale, 6O-3. The Harvard and Yale
states are still free Of opposing touch
downs.
The results OF last Saturdays
games demonstrated that the minor
elevens have n4t suffered anything in
particular In the change Of the rules
which added an extra down In which
to make 10 yards. At least four or
the minor teams--Swarthmore Wes-

Athletics, headed by Secretary John
Shibe and Cupt, Danny Murphy, viii
invade Cuba this month for q 12-
game series with the best clubs OF the
island.
Shibe and Murphy have been work
ing for some time to complete plans
for .he invasion of Cuba. Capt, Dan
ny announced that the Athletics
would tour the island safeguarded
with snug guarantees for each con-
test
The tourists will leave here on Oct.
26 for Key West. They will play ex-
hibition games en- route to Florida.
One game has been arranged In
Greenyille, N c., the home Of Joe
Jackson, who will play against them
on that day. Four other cItests
will be played, two at Savannah, Ga.
and two In Jacksonville. before they
depart by boat from Key West for
Cuba. The Athletics expect to reach
Havana by Nov. 10. They expect to
be home by Thanksgiving day.
The Athletics toured Cuba after
they defeated the Cubs for the worlds
series in 1910, but their showing then
was little, less than farce. In addi-
ton to Shibe and Murphy with the
team, will be McInnes, Collins, Barry,
