BANK BOOKKEEPER
 GIVEN FIVE YEARS
Campbell Pleads Guilty to Making False Entries
 on Books


 Montgomery. December 10-(Special) ) M. B. Campbell. former head individual bookkeeper at the First National bank of Montgomery, pleaded guilty in the federal court here today to one count of an indictment charging him with having made a false entry on the books s of the bank and was sentenced by Judge Henry D. Clayton to five years in the federal penitentiary. Campbell will begin his sentence immediately.
 Campbell was arrested several weeks ago on a warrant charging him with the embezzlement of about s5S, 000. which he had secured in various amounts during a period covering 12 years. He was confined in jail for several days and was later released on a $10,000 bond.
 He was indicted by the federal grand jury this week on a number of counts and his trial consumed but short time yesterday morning. It is probable that the other charges against Campbell will be dismissed.
 The trfN of Earle Reaves, former bookkeeper of the New Farley Nation al bank here, who was arrested about a week ago on the discovery of a short age in his accounts of little over 5000, has been set for Friday. Reaves Is now in jail in default of a bond for 5000. He was indicted this week.

T shall favor every progressive cause which will place Alabama in the vanguard of those states whose march Is ever upward and onward to the higher and better things for their peo pie"
 1t Is unnecessary to state that the man who uttered that sentence be- lieyes that there is efficacy in the word "progressive.' It is also unnecessary to state that he is something of an orator Therefore. Frank Leslie Riley of Evergreen, who will represent Con eeuh county in the lower house of the legislature. is introduced.
 It is very seldom in this day and time that one has the pleasure of writ Ing about man who holds views sim liar 10 those of the subject of this sKetch. We have already said that he is progressive" as opposed to the "reactionary" in politics. As a matter of fact, he styles himself 'progres- sive democrat;'' even as Teddy Roose- Welt is progressive republican. !" When we found out that MT. Riley ad- hered to the new school of Alabama politicians we were not surprised when he answered the question, What in your opinion will be the most i'm : portant matter confronting the legis- lature?' in this manner:
 Railroad rate Legislation and prohi- bition."
 However, people who remember for mer turbulent days in Alabama poli- ties need aot treMble, for Mir Riley does not plan, according to present in dieations, to take up the old fight for railroad rate reform where ex-Gover- nor Conner left off. For when we asked him what bills he would intro- duce, he answered.:
 "One for the relief of deformed chill dren of indigent parents"
 MT. Riley again proves that he is a progressive" for he registers himself as one of the very few members Of the legislature who will support a pro- posed amendment to the constitution. providing for woman suffrage in Ala bama.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Added Suggestion

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 You were kind enough to publish my little piece' about practical kindness. It is in the thought and heart of thou. sands to make gifts about Christmas time It Is not possible to concentrate these gifts and distribute them to the needy people of Birmingham? The custom of giving tokens of regard Is beautiful. More, it is a monumental proof that the good heavenly Father gave his only Son for our race. The Sunday schools and many other or ganizations will make large gifts to the children and older friends. Can't we make this Christmas memorable by giving without any wish or hope of receiving anything in return? Someone better informed can name 8 suitable channel through which the gifts may be distributed. think of the Asso- ciated Charities. If concentration Is not possible then let each one select a medium of distribution. The thing to do Is to afford the much needed re- lief. This is cold and bitter weather to be withouts fuel and hungry Re- spectfully M H. WELLS

Dentists are finding vitalitas val uable in their practice and it ia being freely employed as an antiseptic and astringent. In tooth extraction or work where there is injury to the gums It quickly stops bleeding, relieves sore ness and keeps the mouth in good con- dition.
 Of course the liquid is much diluted for such uses, the proportion being about teaspoonful in a third or half glass of water. Such, however, are in- cidental SO far as its benefits to man. kind are concerned. Nothing nature has produced Is SO effective as q sys- tenn cleansing and vigor injecting force. The good it does is constitu- tions1. It has no "dope." alcohol or drugs in it to give only temporary re- lief It goes in natures way to the bottom of many human ills. Dormant, diseased and impotent tissues in the body are aroused and gradually re- stored to normal condition. In the treatment of many ailments of rtom- ach,- liver; Kidneys. bowels and blood there is nothing for lasting results to equal vitaiitas Such disorders as in- digestion, rheumatism, biltousness. catarrh, debility, eczema and bowel troubles are relieved and healed by 1t.
