HOW TO AVOID
 DOCTOR BILLS
(Health Notes )

Practically all sickness can be traced to impurities in the blood which accu- mulate during the winter months. If old and young alike would follow the old time policy of taking good blood-ton each spring, there would be much less fever and sickness and as a result a big saving of doctor bills.
 The best blooC fy/s tonic knoYn can be made at home at little expehse. by dissolving in 1-2 pint of alcohol, 1-2 cup sugar and one ounce kardene. then adding hot water to make a quart This makes enough for a whole family and a tablespoonful taken before meals soon makes the blood pure and red. removing quickly all pimples. and lack of appetite. It is very strengthening to a tired. worn-out system. and gives one a world of ener- gy and good health."

OLD GELDERS HALL DAMAGED S3O0O BY.
 BLAZE YESTERDAY.
Gelders May Erect New Building At Fourth and
 Twentieth Street

Fire iu the Hamman Turkish baths at Fourth avenue and Twentieth street yes- terday afternoon caused a damage esti- mated at sSOco Ihy Capt Sid Middleton of the fire department The blaze created n great deal of excitement and brought a large crowd to the scene because of it's central location.
 According to Captain Middleton the fire started on the second floor of the building occupied by the bathhouse. Il started in what was formerly the boiler room in some waste paper. The flames We're not discovered for sometime and gained considerable headway and were communicated to the third floor before the firemen reached the scene.
 The alarm was turned in at 5:25 o'clock and as 1t was in the downtown district every piece of fire apparatus within the city proper answered the alarm. Six lines of hose were laid and in % minutes under these half dozen streams of water the blaze which had assumed threatening proportions was cxtingushed. It was stated that considerable damage would have been done but for the fact that the fire was confined 10 vacant rooms. The principal damage was caused by smoke and water.
 The building in which the Hamman baths are located is an old landmark in Birmingham. It Is a brick structure four stories in height and it's first floor is occupied by stores. It was stated that none of the stores suffered any damage from water and smoke other than the ne gro saloon on Fourth avenue. The fire loss is covered by insurance.
 Louis Gelders, who owns the building, suit of the fire. Architects and others have been aware for the past several days that Mir. Gelders contemplated the construction on that corner of modern building in view of the fact that un- usually important improvements are be- ing made or have been announced for that immediate section.
 He said several days ago that at this time his plans were as yet immature, but that he had hopes in connection with that corner that were rapidly assuming tangi- ble shape. 1t Is stated that he and Will liam C. Weston, the architect, have taken the question of a building there under advisement, and that some announcement will be made during the coming few months.
 In view of the fire of yesterday, which, 1t is said, renders the building imprac- tical for occupancy for the next few months, there may be some immediate steps taken to construct a new building there. MT. Gelders has the building ana the street level stores leased for some time yet. However, it Is stated that these leases may be invalidated by reason of the fire and from other causes.

THINKS FIRE MAY
 PROVE A BLESSING
Leon Bradley Understands Plans AL ready Drawn for New Build
 ings In Tuscaloosa

Leon C. Bradley, editor of the Tusca- loosa News, while in Birmingham yes- terday, stated his belief that the fire in Tuscaloosa yesterday morning, which in flicted a loss of more than $300,00o will. in the end, prove a blessing.
 "Of course.' he added, "there is good reason for the sympathy which is going out from all quarters to those who suf- fered loss. But there is no question but on the sites where the flames ragged, beautiful structures will be going up in the immediate future. l have always un- derstood that plans have been drawn all ready for one or more buildings to re- place those destroyed.
 'Tn Tuscaloosa at the present time, there is a steady growth-not boom with danger of collapse-but a growth which will continue. There is no ques- ton but that in the end. Tuscaloosa will be one of the real cities of the state

 Miss Coleman's dress was the latest de- cree of fashion. Mrs. ]. B. Reid stated yesterday afternoon that the dress was the handiwork of Miss Coleman herself, and pointed out that not only could she wear beautifully made garments, but that she could make them herself.
 Todays Miss Fashion will be tall slender brunette of graceful and digni- fled carriage. She has hosts of friends in Birmingham and will greet them cor dially today. She will get an early start. and will make a day of it in the shop ping district.
 The Fashion Week spirit has become manifest throughout the city. Restau- rants are putting in Fashion Week menus: the theatres are advertising Fashion Week programmes. Fashion Week is the talk of the city and judging from statements made by visitors it is also the talk of the state. Il is expected that on Saturday there will be more visitors than the city can well take care of. The merchants are in better humor than they have been for wear or more. and are thoroughly de- lighted with the success that has attended Fashion Week thus far.

A friend asked him what tune the band was playing, and he answered; Dit Out and Dit Under The incident attracted large crowd and considerable amusement.

PUTS WALKER IN
 ROBSON COLUMN
Cecil Lacy Says Over 1000 Underwood Buttons Were Distributed At
 HObsOn Rally

"Hobson will carry Walker county"
 This was a statement made yesterday by Cecil Lacy warm supporter of Os- car w. Underwood.
 You have heard, no doubt he added, that old song of the Chicago cubs when the Cubs were in their pr1me-'From Tinker to Evers to Chance Hobson peo- pie are now saying when pressed for in- formation in regard to their chances, Walker Fayette- -Pickens.' The one re- frain reminds me of the other.
 q have met many supporters of Cap tain Hobson who would accept bets on majorities, counties. and the like, but not one who would wager a cigar on the general result. They do not say that Hob- son will carry the state-or rather, they do not bet hats that he will.
 q was present in Jasper yesterday when Captain Hobson spoke there. He had a large crowd. But the captain was not as brilliant as on former occasions. He looked tired and worn. Perhaps he was aware of the handwriting on the wall.
 And there is another incident which might be told. Among the crowd in Jas peron the day of the speaking. the Under wood supporters distributed over 1000 Underwood buttons

DIRECTORS WILL
 ELECT SECRETARY
Radcliffe Will Continue In Office At Chamber of
 Commerce

The board of directors of the Cham be rof Commerce will meet tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, just before the general meeting of the chamber at o'clock, to select a general secretary and treasurer. That Secretary Radcliffe VII be reelected is not at all doubted w. A. Porter is now, treasurer and it is believed the board will also re-elect him.
 At the general meeting, whichpbe gins at o'clock, one of the most important matters to be discussed is that of in- terlocking directorates, a bill for the prevention of which is now before Con- gress. The matter is to be brought dp to determine whether or not the Cham Der of Commerce shall indorse or con- demn the bill The Montgomery Cham Der of Commerce has condemned it, and has sent letter to the local body ask ing that it adopt resolutions condemn ing it. It is claimed by many that the bills most objectionable feature is that it prevents bankers, or any citizen, from being a director in a common carrier or manufacturing plant. This, it is pointed out, will be greatly to the detri- | iucit ol tic bOutli.
 Another matter to come up is that of the time the monthly meetings of the chamber shall be held-afternoon or night. It is thought probable that the matter will be compromised a certain number of the meetings being held in the afternoon and an !, equal number being held at night.
 Secretary Radcliffe stated yesterday that the acquaintance committee of the chamber would be active tomorrow aft ernoon introducing new members to old and making everybody acquainted with everybody else. Judge Alvin M. Doug lass is chairman of this committee and the other members are: Frank Ham mond, J. A. Vann, Joseph F. Mudd and A. NJ. Taylor. This committee met at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce and outlined its plans for the year. They will be "on the job at all the monthly meetings and it is the intention of the chairman to ask Secretary Radcliffe to send let ters to the chairmen of the entertain ment committees of the several local civic organizations. asking how they conduct their work, in order the com mittee in the chamber may best do its work.
 A large attendance is expected at the meeting It will be the first general meeting presided over by tile newly elected president, MT. Shook, and many matters of importance will probably De brought up.

Mach Says Underwood Will Get Close to 800 Majority Instead
 of 400 as Predicted

H. c. Thach, a prominent attorney of Athens while a visitor to Birmingham yesterday, expressed himself as absolute ly certain that Oscar W. Underwood will sweep Limestone county and the entire Tennessee valley.
 2 'T noticed in The Age Herald some days ago." he said, where Col. Marcus Veil predicted that Underwood would carry Limestone by majority of 400. Colonel Well is wrong. Underwood's ma Jority will be close to 500. It may go higher. If the colonel was as conserva- tive in regard to the other counties of the state as he was in regard to Lime stone the democrat will sweep the state by a majority of 5000.
 Captain Hobson has been in Lime stone four times. He will speak in Attn ems again on March 2s. dare say that the greater portion of his audience will be made up by Underwood supporters wearing Underwood buttons
