FINE WORK DONE BY
 PLAY COMMITTEE
Drama League Hears Two Produc- tiOns at Southern Club Which Prove
 Highly Entertaining

Conspicuous enthusiasm and the closest attention marked the presentation by the play committee of the Drama league Thursday evening of Hope "The Philos- opher and the Girr' and Sir Arthur Pi- nero's '"The Playgoers.'' The Southern club ballroom contained one of the larg- est audiences it has had this year, and Mrs. Wilkerson, president of the league, said that many new members had been added to the Birmingham center.
 '"The Philosopher and the Girl'' was given first. When the curtain went up the philosopher, excellently played by Powell Noland, entered and began his ponderous researches. Now for a mo- ment's york; said he. It was long moment and he was deep in his meta physics when-but that is the story. Whereupon and as aforeindicated, ap- peared upon the scene the girl. Notice: Not "a" girl but the" girl most win
 somely played by Miss Isabel Moser. Well. it ended happily. to all intents and purposes, and the legal presumption is
 that they lived happily ever after.''
 But "The Playgoers" did not end hap billy Quite the reverse. It all came of the lady of the house trying to cultivate the minds of her domestics. They did not want to go to the play and become pa- irons of the drama: leastwse each had a different idea about It, and terrible time of it was had by those present, which is to say the wife, played by Miss Edith Orr; the husband, Stephen Day; the parlor maid Miss Mayo Thach; the
 kitchen maid, Miss Alma Smyer; the prim maid, the part cleverly taken by Miss Marguerite Nabers; the cook, imper- sonated, gum-chewing and all by Miss Amelia Worthington; the crying maid, a role played with consummate lachrymos- ity, so to speak or not to speak. by Miss Serena Kirkpatrick. J. Reese Murray
 as the odd man was also present, and was forever looking for his list of "dooties. '
 MT. Day and Miss Orr made most en- gazing twosome, and Miss Thach played ] her part with fine appreciation of its | artistocratic indifference. Miss Smyer's part was short but she made it one of the most interesting m the play. Miss | Nabers and Miss Worthington were su- /! perb.
 ''The Playgoers' sparkles with the 1 brightest comedy and the subtlest double

DOCS WERE USED
 IN MAKING TEST Startling Results That Prove Lack of Nutriment in
 Modern Foods

That American people are starving themselves by reason of a lack of mineral nutriment in foods Is the assertion of sci- entists who declare that a majority of present-day ills are attributed to such. One illustration of this is made by feed ing dogs bits of meat that have been soaked in cold water. They soon sicken and if given no other food, it is asserted, will actually die quicker than if not fed at all. A large per cent of modernly pre- pared and widely consumed foods are robbed of mineral worth, just as meat is by soaking in cold water. Mineral starvation" is being recognized as a na- tional condition and it is this that has brought natural Vitalitas so quickly into general prominence. It is product from the deeep interior of the earth-a re- markable blend of mineral properties and earth forces.
 To impoverished and weakened systems Vitalitas is an elixer of life and per- forms actual marvels in disease elmina- tion and in the restoration of vigor and health Beyond question it is the most effective known natural tonic Vitalitas literally sweeps away many chronic dis orders of stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and blood. It is all good and not un- plea sant to take.
 Nitalitas is for sale in this city by Areryt's Drug Store, 109-111 20th st; also Pegram-Patton Drug Co.,, Bessemer, and all other druggists.-Adv.

Probate Judges Not Re quired to Prepare Them
 Prior to April l, 1916
ELECTIONS MUST BE
 HELD WITHOUT LIST
Attorney General Rules Old Law Has Been Repealed and This Provision of New Law Is Not Yet
 Effective

Montgomery, November 26.-(Speeial.) Probate judges of Alabama will not be required to furnish lists of qualified elec' | tors at any election which may be held in the state prior to April 1. 1916, at which time the new registration law, passed at the recent session of the legislature, be- comes effective, according to ruling or Attorney General William L. Martin, in reply to an inquiry from Governor Hen derson.
 The new registration raw, according to the attorney general, "is complete re- vision of the law on the subject and ex-
 pressly and by implication repeals all
 other laws as to registration" At the elections to be held in the state
 on December 27 and on January 16, there fore, there will be on hand no lists of qualified electors, though. according to the ruling of the attorney general, the lack of such lists will not preclude any qualified elector from voting, nor will it
 preclude any person from exercising the legal right of challenge of a voter who is not qualified"
 The election to be held on December 27 ~ONA stitutional amendment allowing Birming- ham to increase her tax rate and the election on January 16 is for the purpose of submitting an amendment allowing the state to float bond issue of S1,500,000. In discussing the new registration law.
 the attorney general said: By the act of March +, 1911, probate judges were re- quired to deliver to the voting places al- phabetical lists of qualified electors and
 compensation was provided for furnishing such lists. Under section IA of the 1915
 act it was provided that the probate judge
 shall make up list of qualified electors
 from the returns made by the registrar
 and from the poll tax lists, and shall
 publish the same in some newspaper of
 general circulation in the county on or
 before April b, 1916. and in each year
 thereafter.
 There is no provision in the law for
 the publication of such lists at an earlier
 date than the time mentioned and the published lists alone are authorized to be
 furnished at the polling places As said
 before, the 1911 act Is repealed, and there
 is no authority to proceed under it. It
 therefore appears that the probate judges
 are without authority to furnish lists of
 electors at the polling places at the cleo
 tion on December 27. It is also clear that
 no compensation can be allowed for mak-
 ing such lists.''

tobacco rice and hay. Farmers included IN TINS
comprehensive report planted 310,546,OOO acres
to the principal crops, an increase OF lO,OOO,OOO
acres over 1914. This explains the heavier yields,
in part. The five leading grains grown IN the
United States-wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley
are expected to yield 100000 bushels this
year, or per cent heavier than the yield OF last
year. There has, of course, been some loss from
rain. In certain low-lying districts floods have
been disastrous. Continued wet weather when
wheat was being harvested caused fears OF a
shortage, but in spite of adverse conditions the
surplus of wheat this year amounts to 400. .OOO,OO
bushels-the greatest yet recorded. While there
was falling off in wheat in some localities, the
yields in the northwest were tremendously in
creased, and such roads as the Northern Pacific
and the St. Paul have been making extensive
preparations to move the grain.
