SENT WTAUTAS
 FOR CHRISTMAS Packages of Wonderful Earth Fluid Being Rushed to Sick Throughout
 America

Is Christmas presents Vitalitas is being shipped to large cities and small towns throughout America. Among the thou sands of purchasers of this wonderful product there are many orders for send ing one or more bottles to sick friends.
 As one man expressed it, who shipped two bottles to his aged mother in Bos- ton: Tt is the most sensible gift could make. She is in poor health, emaciated and suffers with stomach, kidney and other troubles. l know this will do her good and for hundred times the amount could not send her anything that would be of so much value to her."
 vitalitas is the greatest medicinal dis rovery of the century. It is produced oholly by nature and is extracted chem- ically pure from an earth stratum found in just one spot in the world
 Here are some of the things Vitalitas will do: It will assist in overcoming many disease conditions. such as indigestion, rheumatism, biliousness, nervous debility catarrh and many ills of stomach, liver kidneys, bowels and blood. even after all else has failed.
 Vitalitas is agreeable to the taste and you know with the first dose that it will do you good
 See the display and sample Vitalitas to- day at Ayeryt's Drug Store, 109-111 Twen- tieth street, or write there for informa- ton.

Committee of Turmoil

The departure of MT. Mulkey from the House will leave an Alabama vacancy also on the committee on the District of Colum bia--a committee, by the way, which usually is in turmoil and confusion, rent by internal dissension and perennally at odds with the residents of the district. If Mir Steagal as MulSeys successor, Is wise, he will not go looking for his prede- cessors shoes or his chair in that com mittee room.
 In the committee on education, Repre- sentative Abercromble not only Is at home, but also Is of great service to the country, and his reelection seems assured. Whether he will remain on accounts and coinage, weights and measures remains to be seen. There will not be as many democrats in the next Congress as there are in this. and no majority member will bo likely to get more than one commit- tee. especially if that be one of impor- tance.
 Mir. Blackmon is on postoffices and post roads, and there can help greatly both his state and the nation Still, ae would be a capital man on judiciary, if his in- clinations either lie or could be guided in that direction.
 So, too, on agriculture Heflin is in his element and in a position to work a vast amount of good for the south. More ever, he is fourth man on that commit tee and promotion seems rapid in these piping times of political activity.
 For the encoura cement of the newcom- CTS 1t may be said that Messrs. Gray, Steagall, Oliver, Almon and Huddleston all will find good and influential friends at court, and they may rest confident that they will be well and congenialy placed.
