FOOD FACTS
What An M. D. Learned.

A prominent Georgia physician went
through a food experience which he
makes public.
1T was my own experience that
first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts
food and / also know, from having
prescribed II to convalescents and
other weak patients, that the food Is a
wonderful rebuilder and restorer Of
nerve and brain tissue, as well as mus
Gle. II improves the digestion and
sick patients gain very rapidly, just
as / did In strength and weight.
Il was in such a low state that
had to give up my work entirely, and
went TO the mountains OF this state,
but two months there cid not improve
me; in fact, was not quite as well
as when / left home.
My food did not sustain me and
II became plain that I must change.
Then 1 began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks ] could walk a mile
without fatigue, and in FIVE weeks re-
turned to my home and practice, TAX
ing up hard work again. Since that
time I have felt as well and strong
as / ever did in my life
AS a physician who seeks 70 help

FINE EPOTATOES ARE
 RAISED BY GIRLS Specimen Products Brought In From Mercy Home In-

There are to be found in Alabama no finer specimen of sweet potatoes than those raised this year by girls in Jeffer- son county.
 Sweet? Irish, too. And cotton and corn and other things!
 The girls? They are the girls of the Mercy Home Industrial school. The in stitution 'lives'' in a home which cost s22, 900, and which is situated on a i've acre tract near woodlawn. There are 20 of the girls.

In the afternoon they do real work. but work in which they find great pleasure. That they have been successful in their work is denton strated by the products which we have brought to The Age-Herald office

FELT OVER TRAYLOR'S LEAVING Tutwiler Manager Sorry To Leave Friends He Has
 Made Here

General regret was expressed in local circles yesterday that George W. Traylor, Jr., of the Tutwiler had sent in his resig- nation. Among the officers and directors of the owning company, including Major Tutwiler, George c. Crawford. John L. Raul. Robert Jemison, Jr., and others of the bondholders many compliments were paid yesterday to the showing that Mir. Traylor had made with the $2.000, 900 corporation. He was given credit by the home officials of having done perhaps more than most any man that could have been selected from the east to take hold of a strictly southern property with all the disadvantages that accompany such a large operation.
 Mr. and Mrs. Traylor came here two months before the Tutwiler was opened. MT. Traylor perfected the splendid or ganization that is now in an efficient or ganization. Everyone speaks we'll of the efficiency of the Tutwiler.
 T have been received with marked com sideration and kindness by Birmingham m people," said MT. Traylor yesterday. And l regret exceedingly that I must sever some of the very delightful friend ships that both Mrs. Traylor and I have made here. Birmingham is a splendid, wideawake city, and Is destined to be one of the biggest points in this country with all its backing. I am sure, that .Bir- mingham has no more ardent we'll wisher than myself. The Tutwiler hotel Is easily the most magnificent property that I have been officially connected with in the south. It compares favorably with any hotel that l have ever seen, and will be a complete success. It will require a little time to adjust this proposition to the south, but when that day comes it will boom. I am not at this time quite prepared to make any announcement as to my new connection. That will come about soon however"

IMPRESSIVE SERVICES
 FOR JOHN l.. PARKER

The wide esteem in which John L. Parker was held by the citizens of Bir- mingham was attested yesterday by the hundreds who attended the serv- ices over the remains of the well known druggist who committed suicide Tues day afternoon in the basement of his First avenue store.
 AS marks of respect the public schools of the city were closed during the afternoon and the flags from all school buildings waved at half mast Resolutions of respect were adopted yesterday morning at special meet ing of the board of education, of which Mr. Parker had been president for many years.
 The ceremonies over Mir. Parker's body were simple but impressive. The Presbyterian service was read by pr. Henry M. Edmonds, pastor of the South Highlands Presbyterian church. of which MT. Parker was a member.
 At the residence there were brief ceremonies. A short eulogy. a song and feeling prayer. and the body was taken to Elmwood cemetery and laid in its final resting place in the fam fly plot.
 The beauty of the day was in marked contrast to the sadness of the occa- sion. The bright November sun played through the branches of the weeping

EXPECT B|G THINGS IF COURTS DECREE
 IS FOR CORPORATION
Dissolution Suit Grows In Interest Here Because of the Far-Reaching
 Effect

With the time growing nearer for a de- cision fin the dissolution suit against the United States Steel corporation, there is being created in this district the opnion that immediately following that decision announcement of huge expenditures will be made by the Steel corporation.
 The officials are very appropriately say Ing nothing as to their plans for tho reason that the case Is still pending and no one can fortell what decision will be rendered. In local circles 1t is not be- leved that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company will be divorced from the United States Steel corporation. That opinion is based upon & careful reading of the evidence during the past two years as presented, and the reluctance of the national administration to commit any wrong against business in this country It is pretty well known that the adminir- tration has no intention of iniicting pun ishment upon corporation simply be- cause it Is large.
 This being true, the decision Is awaited here with impatience, for 1t means so much for this district. If the decision is favorable to the Steel corporation it Is believed that several finishing mills will be authorized for this district The cor poration officials here last week were inclined to say only so much, and that was to the effect that B continuity of op- erations'' is essential for the upbuilding and economical administration of the in- dustrial plants here. The plans that the Steel corporation have in mind for this district are not being discussed in de- tail by the officials at this time, but tho expected return to Birmingham next week of President James Farrell may be fol- lowed by a statement just a degree near er an announcement than anything he has said before, and in the meantime he made one rather pointed statement about what the corporation thought of Birmingham Mir. Farrell Is coming back here to get look at the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road company properties.
 "The birdseye view I secured during this meeting" said he before leaving. will satisfy those delegates as 1t was in way very satisfactory. But as for me, l want to get out with George Gordon Crawford, Frank Crockard, MT. Ryding Charlie Barr and their assistants and see for myself by actual and close inspection. That is why l am coming back to Bir- minghem, I want to spend several days here. and I know 1t will be interesting to me-.
 President Farrell while here next week will take occasion to see every operation of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road company. He will be accompanied on the trips by the officials named. Mr. Far rell Is so interested in the inspection which will be made that he has requested that no socially function or entertainment be arranged for him while he is here. llis wishes in that respect will be carried out:
