FALLING OFF IN
 FERTILIZER TAGS Cheney Believes Low Price of Cotton and Weather
 Chiefly Responsible

Montgomery. August 10.-tSpecial)- Figures compiled by Capt. John c. Cheney, chief clerk in the department of agriculture and industries. show that for the year 1911-12 the receipts from the sale of fertilizer tags amount ed to s157,425, which was s31S0 less than the receipts for the previous year.
 Captain Cheney attributes the fall ing off in the receipts of this year to several causes, first of which he thinks may be accounted for by reason Of the fact that cotton fell off consider ably in price during the first of this year. which prevented farmers from buying much fertilizer.
 Another cause Captain Cheney att tributes to the weather, which pre- vented many of the farmers of the state from planting early In the spring of this year. This is probably the chief cause, according to Captain Cheney.
 The receipts for the year include the returns from the sale, of 1.463,000 l F. cent fertilizer tags, which were not offered during the previous year. These tags were authorized by the last 1egfs- la ature and were used on sacks of fer tilizer weighing 100 pounds and on cotton meal sacks of the same weight.
 Had these tags been on sale during the year 1910-11 1t Is probable, &C., cording to Captain Cheney, that the falling off in the receipts for this year would have been considerably larger.

The time has been extended from August 10 to August 20 to give suf- ferers an opportunity to test the won derful merit of the Televita, Vitapathto or Nibrogenitant treatment free. Those who called and were unable to see the doctors on account of the rush are par ticularly invited to come again. It may be the means of adding golden years to your future. It costs you nothing to give this wonderful new curative power a trial. Quit drugging your system with useless and harmful drugs. The progress of the world in curing disease is being revolutionized by the scientific use of Natures forces
 The effect of the Televita power on the human body differs from that of any force with which the scientific world IS familiar. Televita is no more like an ordinary current, family battery, galvan- ic. faradic or static than is the effect of the x-Ray like light. Teevita can be best defined as an intense vitalizing force. This wonderful curative force is not stimu- iant but it is a vitalizer. Televita does not act like a glass of wine, increasing the hearts action for short time to he followed by a reaction, but it abso- lutely adds energy to the body-energy which is stored up in a potential form to be used in all the processes and nat this new curative force Is necessarily ben efcial in any condition of the system where any diseased condition exists.
 Every afflicted person Is entitled to have the benefit of the best means at the com

mand Of the medical profession be it Alopathic. Homeopathic. Eleetropathic Osteopathic, Eclectic or the use of Tele- vita, Vibrogenitor or other physical or vital forces. In honorable, meritorious practice there is no other course open to the real sincere and competent physician. yet many physicians decry the use Of anything but drugs and surgery. The ma jority do so from ignorance and some, for the money there is in 1t. Real scientific and liberal minded physicians know no prejudice. Until the medical profession purges itself of the narrow-minded preju- of treatment other than that taught in the school from which they graduated (probably % years ago). a prejudice that so widely permeates and poisons the minds of It's membership, cemeteries will be filled with their dupes and homes with their trusting and suffering victims.
 The examining physician to the Ad- vanced Medical Specialists in this city holds certificates from the three oldest schools of medicine-Alopathic. Homeo- pathic and Eclectic-and In addition to this he Is an expert in the use of the physical forces and powers as represented in the Televita, virbogenitant and Vito pathic curative methods. He is in posi- ton to know which Is most useful means in your case in combating disease and in going to the Advanced Specialists you are assured of the best results that deep medical training and 20 years Of experi- ence affords.

j. o. Thompson, national committeeman from Alabama of the newly launched progressive party. returned yesterday from Chicago.

 Atlanta was first selected" stated Mr. Thompson. but we got busy, and the selection was withdrawn. l spoke in favor of Birmingham's geographical po- sltion. and the argument seemed to gain force. I believe that the chance Is ex- cellent of the headquarters being estab- iished here.'
 The establishment of the headquarters in Birmingham would result in fine ad- vertising for the city. It Is generally be- lieved, and the effort to gain the plum Is to be pushed by every citizen of the city Irrespective of party utilization. The Chamber of Commerce will also aid In the enterprise.
 Mr. Thompson stated that it is very probable that an outside man will be selected to have charge of the head quarters if 1t is located in Birmingham Prom this point. the progressives fight in the south would be waged and Bir- mingham would be made central poln: in the campaign
 We had great and harmonious con seDtin, stated MT. Thompson. and we feel that our chance to achieve the vic tory in November is especially bright. Roosevelt and Johnson are exceedingly

JUDGE GASTON
 KNOCKS" POLICE Enough Weapons Purchased by Citizens to Maintain
 Adequate Force

Judge Zell Gaston Is up in arms against the police force of Birmingham, which he alleges Is inadequate entirely.
 Ut is my opinion" stated he yester- day, that had the people of Birming- ham known what the result would be, they never would have voted in favor of the commission form of government. And it is also my opinion that if the question were submitted at the present time with the indications of no improve ment in police protection standing out boldly. the people would repudiate the innovation.
 "On account of the lack of protection from burglars and other thieves and maraunders the people who live in the residential sections of the city have pur- chased enough weapons at cost suf- ficient to maintain an adequate police force.
 ''The conditions are almost intolerable." :"

 Acted as Special Z
 Ambassador
SIGNIFICANT TRIP

Washington. August 1o.-For the first time in the history of the United States the Secretary of State was today deslg- mated as a special ambassador to a for eign power.
 President Taft today assigned Mir Knox as special ambassador to Japan to at tend the funeral of the late Emperor Mutsuhlto, on September 12, with the statement that the mission was given to the premier of the cabinet as an evidence of the American friendship for Japan When viscount Chinda. Japanese am- hassador to Washington, heard of the mission, he asserted it would be taken by Japan as an act of the greatest cour- tesy and one calculated to make even warmer and more cordial existing rela- tions between the two governments.

 All of these matters are more or less pending between the two nations and the present foreign minister of Japan Viscount Uchida, who formerly was ambassador at Washington. a personal friend of Secretary Knox and the sec retary are interested in all of them.
 For some time Secretary Knox. in view of the slow progress of diplo- matic procedure, has contemplated a personal visit to Japan as a means of reaching In a short time a complete understanding with the Japanese gov ernment. The assumption of the office of minister of foreign affairs by his friend Baron Uchida promised to ia : cilitate an easy exchange of honest views regarding the policies of the two countries Thus the secretary. having concluded his duties as funeral ann bassador may find an opportunity to discuss these questions of policy with the Japanese foreign minister
 Secretary Knox will be accompanied on his mission by Mrs Knox As aides he will have a major general of the army and rear admiral of the navy to be selected. Ranford s. Miller, chief of the far eastern division of the state department will accompany him as secretary of the embassy.
