,,IXON ORDERED 58
 FOR HIS FRIENDS Things Happened atLiberty, Tenn, After One Farmer
 Made Vitalitas Test

My friends have had me to order 5S bottles for them after seeing what Vital itas did for me- states Robert Nixon. a prominent farmer of Route No. 4, Lib- erty. Tenn.
 What happened in MT. Nixon's vicinity with respect to Nitalitas is not unusual. Nitalitas has become widely popular, not so much on account of articles printed in newspapers about it, but more directly from what users of it have had to say to their neighbors Ones friends are quick to notice a change in his physical condi- ton, and are certain to remark about it. especially if the change is for the better. This is particularly true with respect to invalids who are restored to health How diu it happen? What in the world have You been doing2 are asked. The answer to such questions is what has made Vital itas a world discussed product and has created for it a great demand
 A1r. Nixon, referring to himself, said "I had liver trouble and some rheuma . tisn for P years, had begun to think had appendicitis. Have used about three bottles of Nitalitas and am almost en- tirely relieved. Think more of Vitalitas than any remedy l ever saw" Now MT. Nixons friends and neighbors are also users of Vitalitas.
 No other known product of nature ap- breaches Vitalitas as. a general correc- tive and tonic. In the treatment of most chronic disorders of stomach, liver. kid neys, bowels and blood it will be found quickly beneficial
 You can sample Vitalitas at Averyt's S drug store, 109-111 Twentieth street or write there for information. Also for sale by Pegram-Patton Drug Co., Bessemer, Ala.

CHURCHILL SAYS

First Lord of Admiralty Says Treat ment of German Prisoners Will Be Humane
 and Just

London, April 27.-(2:4O p. m.)-Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admir- alty, explaining in the House of Commons today Great Britain's policy toward cap tured submarine crews, said
 .'We cannot admit that the reprisals which Germany has taken against num- bers of our own officers can be allowed to defect us from policy which we re- gard as humane and just in itself.
 Mr. Churchill said no especial conditions had been applied to the crews of German submarines as such, but only to those engaged in .'wantonly killing non combat ants, neutrals and women on the high seas" He pointed out that the condi- tions under which these prisoners were confined Were in every way humane.
 We have offered to allow a representa- tive of the United States to visit these prisoners" he said, "and make report provided reciprocal facilities are accorded us."

 The city fathers may not be criminally responsible, but from a monetary loss the city of Birmingham is responsible. and after this committee of business men get everything in shape, let them sign up sub jeet to vote of the people of Greater Birmingham; then we will vote on it and at the same time vote for a bond issue to pay the debt, and you will see that the citizens of Birmingham are honest and that they know that we are responsible.

Rhodes Scholar Says Card System Is Utilized in
 Distributing Food
250,111 TONS HAVE
 BEEN DISTRIBUTED
Elaborate Precautions Taken to be Sure That the Food Goes Only to the Civil
 Population

O. C.. Carmichael of Goodwater, Ala
 bama Rhodes scholar 1sls-19l6 writes
 again from London, giving further de-
 tails of the food distribution in Bel
 gium.
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Since my return to England have often been asked what is the nature of the actual work of relief in Belgium? What is the function of the American delegates scattered throughout the ten provinces of the country? Since the answer to this question also explains the manner of dis position of the products sent from Amer ica, I am led to believe that it will per haps be of general interest to your read CTS, especially to those who have contrib uted in money or goods to the work of the commission. It is for that reason that I am sending you herewith a brief description of the scope and nature of the work
 The ends to be reached by the commis- sion are, of course, two. First, to furnish food to 10000 people as economically as possible, and secondly, to furnish it only to the civil population. Where there is a considerable military population even in the small towns, it is obvious that the attainment of the latter aim forms a diff ficult part of the work

Food Worth Nearly s17,OOO, ,OOO

Up to March 22 there had been sent into Belgium 250111 tons of foodstuffs tvith an
 ated valuation of s16,9OO OOo) All of fH was shipped first to Rotterdam, and
 there was sent by canals and rivers
 ie different parts of Belgium The
 rtionment to each province is made
 otterdam on the basis of it's percen- of population. This leaves for the
 rican delegates the work of distribu- isf to the communes throughout their
 sctive provinces.
 an illustration of the distribution
 in a province, let us take. for eX- le, Antwerp. There are three Ar nlh dissements (districts) in the province, tl of Antwerp Malines and Turnhant la apportionment to each district is fnaAie, by the central committee in Ant 'pds ), in accordance with the percentage l S population.

 Method Is Simple
 s the method of distribution is sim plf From Rotterdam to the province, from the province to the district from ths district to the regional center. and from thence to the communes and to the people themselves is the general scheme Zach warehouse, whether provincial dis iricf, regional or communal, must be used exclusively for American products and has on as door a placard bearing the German stamp, which protects the products from

Ispsre his countrymen further dis aster and who insists that the right of people 10 control the soil of their ] native land must bs granted by who ever controls the government before he will consent to lay down the sword
 winch he claims has been drawn in such cause. While, as remarked be- fore, it is most difficult to accept the
 view that Villa is guided only by the lofty principles suggested, it may per laps be an actuality, in which event, should he succeed in establishing an order or condition of government in keeping with the principles advocated and based upon a strict equality in the distribution of the basic resources ot the nation, he will in all probability be speedily looked upon as the vsri- table savior of his country and elevat- ed to position of the loftiest eminence in the regard of mankind generally. We do not venture to suggest that this is probability but it is entirely possi- ble.
 Stranger things have happened in the complex history of mankind and the rise of knaves to the pinnacle of human greatness has been by no means rare. Mexico is looking for her sal vation from within and that the de sire of its people for the God given right of liberty should find its most powerful exponent in this mulsteer- bandit is a possibility which is by no means without the bounds of reason or of precedent.

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JUNE IA, 1915.

Regardless of the anteeedents of that erstwhile bandit, soldier, and self styled president of the Mexican Re public Rancho Villa, if the recent ut terances relative 10 his attitude as re- sards the Mexican situation may be an indication of his actual desires and not merely some subtitle evasion of the issue forced by President Wilson's threatening note il would seem that he is perhaps worthy of d more extended regard than has been accorded him in the past. We have been more or less accustomed to look upon the fo-naSI cut throat whom fortuitous circum stance had elevated to position of consequence and who, despite his pro- tests that the relief of his fellow coun- trymen was the sole desire of his heart, was really animated by d greed for pelf and the qualification of a lust for power And, while it is doubtless true that certain acts with which he has been credited may have lent an ap- pearance Of truth to this estimate of his character, it is still possible that We have been deceiving ourselves and Villa the man and Villa the soldier are two separate individuals and the seem ing wanton brutality of the latter by no means represents the inclinations of the former It may also be not un reasonably suggested that in this re- speet Villa may be the victim of his unholy past and that he is at present animated by d larger desire for the welfare of his country and it's people than he has been given cerdit for, whatever may have been his original intention in offering such savage re- sistance toward those whom he vocif- erously denounced as the oppressors of his countrymen from the very be- shining of the long continued trouble. It is difficult to believe that the leopard can change it's spots and 1t is also the ra;ural inclination of humanity to es-
 
 of the past rather than by the visible tendencies of the present but at the same time Villa may be perfectly sin cere in his protestations of desire to relieve his fellow Mexicans of the burden of oppressive injustice which has long been their portion. The most apparent indication of this possibility is displayed in his repeated and steadfasi insistanee in regard to the necessity for a more just distribution of the land among the masses of the people and same insistance on the agrarian prin- ciple dominating the relations of the government toward the masses that led to his present enstrangement with Carranza who is at present the only serious obstacle between himself and the full control of the government. Ii his espousal of the indiVidualistic rights of the Mexican people is indeed sincere and not some polite quibble offered in the face of a difficult situa tion. it is indicative of an altruisn most difficult to reconcile with the previous unsavory record of the ia
 nous leader. Still, some one has sug gested that miracles are always hap pening which may account for Villas seemingly remarkable metamorphosis from the character of a lawless ant bloodthirsty brgand to that of a hu- manitarian who is. according to his statements, willing to abandon al claim to power and place in order tE

It strikes us that the natural desire for racial dominance is the most rational explanation for the general thankfulness among the whites over the discovery of white man who was able to wrest the championship laurels from the brow of a black man.
 In the realms of F'istiana, by some strange coincidence. the racial lines are less closely defined than is gen erally customary and all representa- tiyes of the white race are all more or less blended in one class. Thus, in a general way all are looked as equals in every sense. Little account is taken of whether the fighter be Irish, En- giish, American or Hebrew so that he claims America as his home. In no case is he regarded according to the every day estimates of alien races. hence we hear no cry when foreign born contestant fights his way to pre- eminence in the roped arena. But in the case of the negro it is somewhat different and the whites, generally speaking, look upon his entrance into the domain of sport as & species Oi mild insolence, which however, iR tht
 interest of good sportsmanship, mus
 be condoned.
 It is presumabls that the same feel ing would be equally manifested against the Chinaman, Jap or Hindoo
 net because ss suggested. that there
 was a subconscious fear of those races but rather because that the white il habituated to the idea of "lookin:
 down" upon those of a different hu' from himself and this attitude un ldoubtedly finds it's beginning in an in
 herent sense of superiority. a rac egoism if you will which views witt general disfavor competition wit

 a mild reflection on that supposed su
 periority, any triumph achieved by on of the despised races.
