Bankers Journal in Edi- torial Comments on Lii quid Vitalitas and
 Colonel Akin

In it's last issue the Bankers Journal of Texas the souths leading financial mag azine, makes some timely comments upon Vitalitas. It prefaces the remarks with reference to Col. John s. Akin, who Is the executive head of the company that produces liquid Vitalitas. It says in part:
 Such men as MT. Akin are of vast im- portance in business and civil life. He is a great booster in manner and speech for all that is good for mankind, including that great earth liquid, Vitalitas, which is found at only one place on the earth at Damons Mound in yBrazoria county, icine as the term is generally used It 'doctoring' to make 1t efficacious for the common ills of humanity. So many fake medicines have been thrown upon the market, so much of the peoples money has been expended for useless nostrums that those failing in health are slow to avail themselves of anything new Yet the wonderful fame of Vitaiitas has been gained mainly by personal inducements of those who have been lifted from the depths of despair to the lofty heights of health and happiness by It's use MT. Akin has adopted a most feasible plan of publicity for this great health restorer. and in time Vitalitas. worth will be known over the world as natures tribute to the health of man.

PLAN ID M|NGLE PROHIBITION AND
 WOMAN SUFFRAGE
HobsOn and Glenn Coming as We'll as Mrs. Dr. Shaw and Mrs.
 Funk

In connection with the announcement of the Rev. Brooks Lawrence that following the convention of prohibtionists in Mont gomery January 2s. R. P. Hobson. Sixth Alabama district congressman, and R. B.. Glenn, former governor of North Caro- lima, would tour the state in the interest of prohibition, an interesting report was circulated yesterday to the effect that these two orators will also discuss other subjects which will be important business of the legislature.
 It is said that Captain Hobson will em- ploy his oratorical powers in presenting the cause of woman suffrage which he favors. and that Governor Glenn will dis cuss the problem of railroad rate reform, which was his hobby when he confined his political operations to his native state.
 Color to the report concerning the wom- an suffrage plans of Captain Hobson was given when the rumor was spread that in the near future certain female lec- turers, among the number being the Rev. Dr. Anna Shaw and Mrs. Antoinette Funk, would make several addresses in Alabama regarding the general scheme of obtaining votes for women. It is under stood that these ladies will in the course of their remarks say something relating to prohibition
 Another interesting report in connection with the work planned by the Rev. Brooks Lawrence was to the effect that ex-Gov- ernor Patterson of Tennessee will not be invited to participate in the campaign to be waged while the legislature is in session. It Is unknown whether or not this decision was due to the fact that ex-Governor Patterson failed on his for mer visit to Alabama to put Congress- man Hobson in the Senate
 The prohibitionists are maintaining si- lence regarding their plans

LEAGUE MEETING
 COMES TO A CLOSE

New York, December 1.-The Inter- national league club owners ended
 their session here today without agree ing upon definite plan of transferring the league franchises from Jersey City and Baltimore to Syracuse and Rich mond. This, regarded as the most im-
 portant business of the session. had
 been discussed at length since the meeting began last Monday.
 The sentiment of the club represen-
 tatives seemed to favor the transfer to Syracuse and Richmond. but the en-
 tire matter finally was referred to two separate committees, one for the Jer-
 sey City-Syracuse deal and the other
 to take care of the Baltimore Richmond transaction. President Barrow Is on both committees J. J. McCaffrey of Toronto and Charles IT. Chapin of Rochester will aid him in dispos.ng of the Jersey City clubs affairs, while Joseph ]. Lannin of Providence and Charles H. Ebbets. Jr, of Newark will
 assist him in clearing up the Balti- Richmond deal. These commit tees are to report to a special meeting
 of the league to be called during the second week of January.
 That. the league will continue its eight-club circuit was evidenced by the fact that a playing schedule Of 14a 1 games was announced for next season | The opening date was set for April l 27. The player limit for each club was | reduced to 16, but nothing was done | in reference to the salary limit.
 l None of the club managers had I the session ended tonight. but it was
 understood there would be no changes except in the clubs involved in the pro- posed transfer of franchises.

TRADE IMPROVES
 ALL OVER COUNTRY Development Slow, But Gain Inspires Confidence in
 Further Expansion


 New York December 11.-Duns review tomorrow will say:
 That there is improvement in trade is made clear in the reports from all parts of the country. though the development is slow and irregular and the gains already attained inspire confidence in further expansion, with the advent of the new year. The prevailing optimism is strength ened by easier money and the notable improvement in the financial position; also by the fact that while the present volume of business is much less than last year, the corner has been turned and the trend is now toward better conditions Bank exchanges for the week were $2,- 377,722 159, against s2,767, 437, ,724 in the same week last year and s3,265, 55e,619 in 1912. Failures in the United States during the week numbered 461 against 42O last year; in Canada 79 against 46 last year. Wheat exports were 7,034,50p bushels, against 5,049,6S3 last year.

for the relief of the parents of school children in Alabama are companion meas ures. substantially as follows:
 'The first bill would create state printing department with plant suffi- ciently large to print every sheet of sta tionery used by the state in any depart ment of it's activity, from guano tags to editions of the supreme court reports and codes.
 'The other will be an act amending the present law to provide for a uniform series of textbooks for use in common schools of the state.'
 His plan is for the state to print the books which the state textbook commits ssion shall adopt for study. and sell them to parents of children at actual cost. He figures that his scheme would save the people of Alabama many thousand dol lars per annum, money, which he con- tends, goes now to rapacious bookmakers Of the north and east.
 In addition to these bills, Senator Jones will introduce a measure requiring rail- roads to make regular inspection of their track and equipment in order that wrecks of the future might be seldom and far between.' On the subjects of prohibition and woman suffrage, when questioned by representative of this newspaper, he was silent. He favors the gradual elim-

 Senator Jones is candidate for presi- dent pro tenn of the senate. While he may not be elected, he will show up in Montgomery with a fair number of SUD- porters. But whether he wins or loses, he intends to make of himself useful representative of his people. If he gets his school book legislation through he will probably remain an entity in Alabama politics for many years to come And as the old-fashioned paragraphers were wont to say, "So mote it be-"

battleships to Mexico Some said the United States should have sent gunboats and saved the battleships for other pur- poses, but the gunboats would not have done as well. If we had had to .ock- ade all the Mexican ports all the battle ships would have been needed. If we had gone to Mexico City we would have had
 to take half the navy with us"
 Asked If he agreed with the recommen- dation of Captain Bristol, in charge of aviation, for a s1.000,0CO appropriation for
 airships the secretary said that was not too much If we could get the air. craft but 1t was too much as the airship
 situation stands.
 Captain Bristol had advised the com mittee that, from the best information available, the United States had only 23 areoplanes, including those private ly owned. while France had approxi- mately p dlrigibles and 1400 aero planes; Russia IS dirigibles and 800 aeroplanes Great Britain 9 dirigibles and 400 aeroplanes, and Germany 40 dirigibles and 1000 acroplanes. Secre- tary Daniels said the difficulty in this country was that manufacturers had not yet made aircraft suitable for the navy. Chairman Padgett intimated that the committee might later add a substantial sum to the navy bill to provide for airship development. CeCTeIdTN DdnlclS lOlQ lHe COHllultltS that the naval war college had been greatly strengthened. He declared "the strongest thing in the navy is the prac- tical instruction and technical training aboard ship" He said the time was past when more naval officers wanted shore berths than sea service.
 If Congress should pass bill to provide a considerable increase. in the
 number of submarines you'd be glad of it, wouldn't your he was asked. "Yes. if it wouldn't interfere with our programme. I wouldn't advocate, however, an eXtravagant increase of submarines" r
 l He advised against building any more
 seagoing submarines than the one au-
 thorized last year and the one asked
 this winter -. | 'The seagong submarine" he added, | lis still an experiment."
 We have tried to get satisfactory l type of aircraft and have failed" the Secretary said, adding that the United 1 States is only at the commencement of aircraft development. Contracts for
 aircraft had been made in Germany and France. He agreed that it looked as if the United States would have to
 organize department of aviation and build our own machines"
