RAINEY WORKING
 HARD FOR BURNETT
Former Democratic Opponent Here Yesterday and Discussed Condi-
 tions in Seventh District

L. B. Rainey of Gadsden, who was the democratic opponent of John L. Bur nett in the primary of April 6, Is now en- thusiastic in the cause of his former op- ponent MT. Rainey was in Birmingham yesterday, and offered his services to the democratic campaign committee.
 'The republicans" he said, ''are making desperate efforts to defeat MT. Burnett. We believe that he will be able to over come the opposition, even if the repup- licans and progressives' combine their forces against him. However, he has a fight on his hands. and the democrats are rallying to his assistance.
 T have just announced to the commit tee my eagerness to go anywhere in the Seventh district they desire to send me But fer the present price of cotton, MT Burnett would win easily. In the Seventh as has been reported. republicans not only contend that democrats are responsible for the present cheap cotton, but thai there is no European war. There are a few people in a few of our counties whe believe.
 '"rhere are several very close counties in our district The county ticket, in. cluded in which is our nominee for the legislature, Is said to be in danger in St Clair. Franklin is close as Is known Winston will probably be lost. Cullman ii doubtful although 1t is reasonable tt hope that democrats will win there'' MT. Rainey is q good speaker, and as he has many friends in the Seventh dis trict he should prove, the committed thinks, a wheel horse in the interest oi the man he tried some months ago to de feat.

ROOSEVELT URGES i, PROGRESSIVE TICKET

Altoona, Pa, October 27.-Colonel Roosevelt speaking here tonight in the interest of the Washington progressive party ticket, declared republican and democratic leaders were slow to recog- rizo changing conditions.
 q know. for I've worked with them.' ha said. During the 30 years of my public life have time and time again said to them. If you don't do something for the people you'll catch it. The most I could get out of them was m occasional I guess you're right"
 Colonel Roosevelt spoke of ''certain men who like to talk about dema- Sogues."
 If they feel severe towards me-" he declared, "they call me q demagogue am not a demagogue, nor are those working with me demagogues We are on the contrary trying to prevent the growth of a wild and vicious discon- tent in society.
 q have come into Pennsylvania e ask you men to be true to the work started two years ago. We then started to throw out Penrose. We must fin ish the work and smash the whole Pen. rose machine.'

CLOSE CONTESTS
 IN BLOUNT COUNTY
Blackwood and Nation Bring News That Race for Sheriff Is
 Especially Keen

In Blount county the contest for county offices, especially that of sheriff, is closer than ever before in recent years News to this effect was brought to Bir- niingham yesterday by D. R. Blackwood, chairman, and J. c. Nation, secretary of the democratic executive committee of Blount county.
 We expect our local. nominees to win.' said Mir. Blackwood, but the race is close at the. present time. It is generally believed that the republicans. in making their most strenuous fight in an effort to capture the office of sheriff, are contemplating using the advantage they hope to gain in electing their can didate, to defeat the democrats two years hence in the race for probate judge
 "Astute republican leaders in our coun- try are spreading the news that the demo- cratic administration and not the Euro pean war is responsible for cheap cot ton. As a matter of fact, they. are whis- pering poison to the effect that there is no European war, and there are few people in Blount who. like those in Shelby, Franklin and Winston counties, accept the poison as remedial tonic. They believe that there is no war
 MT. Blackwood's appeal to the demo- cratic campaign committee for a good speaker was answered. Captain Samuel Blackwell of New Decatur who did va liant service for Oscar w. Underwood and B. B. Conner in the recent demo- cratic primaries, will fill the following engagements in Blount: Thursday, Ban gor, Oak Grove and Blountsville; Friday Liberty, Argo schoolhouse and Snead

 for No War" Belief

BLANCHE HALL Of Peg O My Heart," who buys col ton for Red Cross bandages

The tenderness of the woman's heart wrecked by the thoughts of the horrors of war. the suffering of the wounded on the battlefieds and in the hospitals. and the unfortunate situation of the cotton growers in the south has worked out Il plan which contributes to relieving the situation.
 When Blanche Hall, of Peg O My Heart" fame, reached Norfolk Va start ing her tour of the south she heard of the effect of the war in Europe had upon the cotton market, and how the cotton country. with a bumper crop, worth hun dreds of millions, was as. stagnet Miss
 Hall heard of poor woman who had
 come into Newport News, Va, with
 several bales of cotton, which she vanity tried to sell.
 After search the woman was located
 on the water front, and Miss Hall bought
 a bale of cotton for $50. This she sat upon while she wondered what she would do with it. That bale of cotton looked like
 white elephant in many ways. A letter from New York told Miss Hall
 of the progress being made in prepara- | tion of Chinese fete royal pageant and
 oriental ball to be given on December l g. at the Grand Central palace. for the | benefit of the American National Red
 Cross society, of which Woodrow Wil- son is president, and Miss Mabel T. Boardman. chairman of the executive committee.
 | Why not convert this bale of cotton into
 bandages and absorbant cotton and do-
 nate the finished product to the Red Cross? No sooner thought of than to act.
 Five hundred pounds of these supplies
 would not go far among a0.O0O000 men
 Why not buy more bales? Miss Hall fig ured out that in each city in which she appeared she would buy bale of cotton
 and auction it off-if 1t were possible the buyer to donate the bale of cottor to the Red Cross, and the price paid to be turned over to local charity. For the advertising they would receive the railroads and steamboat lines would transport the cotton to the mills, as Il was for charity, and the same thing ap' plies to the mills. Once the finished ma terial was turned out it would be up t< the Red Cross to sec about distribu. l ton.
 This idea of Miss Halls means an ex- penditure on her part of about $400O, al she would buy. about 40000 pounds. of cot,
 ton during her season in the south.

TAKING II HOT IS NOTHING NEW Half Century Ago People Who Crudely Extracted Vitalitas Used It in
 That Way

Every morning, noon and night thou sands of people are being benefited by the use of liquid Vitaltas. The usual way of taking it is a teaspoonful in a half glass of water. Many are finding increased benefits by taking it at least part of the time in hot water, particu- larly the morning dose taken hot is found to have increased benefits.
 Vitalitas is all good any way it is taken, but for many classes of ailments, particularly those of stomach, liver, kid neys, bowels and blood the use of hot water instead of cold is recommended at least for the morning dose Tradition reveals that Vitalitas was taken hot by early Texas settlers who dug out the crude substance and extracted it in a crude way. It was a family medicine in many homes and used TOT practically ell ills. Vitalitas as now extracted is many folds more beneficial than as it was then prepared. It is natures great est medicinal gift to mankind. IL sweeps away diseases that defy man-made medi- cine.
 For all Arrangements of stomach, liver. Kidneys bowels and blood Vitalitas will be found wonderfully effective. View the demonstration and sample Nitalitas today at Averyt's drug store, 109-111 Twentieth street, or write there for information
