EQUAL SUF'FRAGEA EACTIVITIES REVIEWED BY A SUFFRAGIST
By PATTIE RuFFNER JACOBS

Anyone unobservant enough to think that women in the south are apathetic about suffrage can scarcely be expect ed to realize the splendid spirit of sacrifice of patient tolerance, of tre- mendous courage dominating them, so quietly so naturally, so effectively do the women work. But the point is, they are interested, and therefore working
 At this season of year county fairs are being held all over Alabama, Flor ida, Tennessee, Georgia and Mississippi and there is hardly one of any pro- portions minus it's suffrage booth. And moreover the literature distributed from them is eagerly sought, registers freely signed and speeches listened to attentively.
 Here in our own state the fairs at Bay Minette, Brewton, Birmingham, Mobile and Clanton have been the scene of great activity on the part of the suffragists.
 In Tennessee at the Jackson fair, the speakers on Suffrage day attracted and held larger crowds than Luke Lea and ex-Governor Patterson in their sena- torial combat. In Nashville and Mem phis the continuous speaking from the bandstand decorated in suffrage pen- nants, was the center of attraction and as such was encouraged by the fair management, who extended every courtesy and assistance to the suf- frage organizations
 Mrs. Nellie Somervil1e, second vice president of the national, said on her recent visit to Birmingham that the growth of interest in Mississippi is most evident She has just finished a two weeks speaking tour of the Mis- sissippi county fairs.
 We know Florida is taking advant- age of the fair crowds, for Mrs. Angus Taylor, the efficient president of the Birmingham association, Is in Pensa- cola having accepted the invitation of the local association to speak this aft ernoon in front of the grandstand.

0NE DINNER DISH SAID ID BE ENOUGH Extremists in the Matter of Eating Should Test Nat
 ural Vitalitas

Scientists are advocating many the ories about how and what to eat in the hopes of helping to overcome the greatest bane of the human race stomach disorders. One of the late the orles IS to have not more than two dishes at one meal and preferably only one. The theory is that the gastric juice better accommodates itself to one par ticular kind of food than to a variety. 1ifere may, be wisdom in this, but there is ample proof that such theories can be set aside and that the stomach, when once put into healthful condition, will take care of wholesome food of whatever character or variety.
 Tests of natural Vitalitas show that most stomach disorders vanish with it's use. Vitalitas is remarkable combina- tion of earth chemicals and forces blended withi the earth. It is Nature S greatest medicinal gift to mankind. Thousands of people are daily finding relief and cure from disorders of stom- ach. liver, kidneys, bowels and blood in this remarkable earth tonic. There are no known mineral waters that equal 1t in effectiveness. Marvellous cures are constantly being reported from it's use.

A recent letter from Mrs Emily Mc- Dougald of Atlanta indicates that the women expect to have 8 rally on the 18th during the harvest festival AS Atlanta is usually successful in what she undertakes, it is probable there will be big attendance and the au- tomobile section of the Atlanta suf- frage organizations will add another proof that 1t is only the unobservant who still maintain that the women in this part of the country are not in- terested in the suffrage question.
 In order to present to the people of the three eastern states which are to- day voting on woman suffrage, not what eager friends or determined foes think of it, but what voters in suf- frage states hold true on the basis of their experience. The Survey sent a circular letter to all its subscribers in the 12 franchise states.
 They were asked whether they be- lieye in woman suffrage, yes or no, and why; whether it has produced tangible results in legislation, particularly for women and children; changes in city or state administration, in politics and public opinion, in the tone of their towns; whether it is making for pro- gress or reaction.
 Of the 634 replies received SIS are ayas, 15 are noes, two are dubious and one is a blank. Among the ayes are If who acknowledge their conversion to suffrage after the event and on the basis of results achieved.
 Seldom has the Survey had, on any subject, so many hearty, whole-souled, eager responses to an inquiry says the editor. More than half have writ ten letters in addition to answering the questions
 All the questions are answered over whelmingly in the affirmative. Not one subscriber reports any evidence of the breakdown of home life as the result of women's voting-perhaps the chief theoretical argument against woman suffrage, and a point of particular in- terest to the many Survey subscribers whose main task is the conservation of the family

 When it is borne in mind that the statistics which came recently from Washing gton do not contain the figures which show in detail our exports for September and October, then the pre- sumption is made strong that there will be increases in the figures of the last four months of this year, because it is only within a few weeks that the heavy exports of munitions of war have begun. The rest of the world for the eight months beginning December, last bought enormously of our 1000 products The money value of our ex- ports in corn increased almost six1old and there was increases of almost 100 per cent in our exports of flour, while the exports of fresh beef, which were almost negligible a year ago, were or the money value of s2f,0o0000, figures that tend to confute theoe who asserted a. year ago that we could no longer be exporters of beef, but would have to be importers Of it.

Watch For The Age-Herald's Special Fashion Edition Which Wm Appear Friday

It has always been acknowledged that the mer- chants of Birmingham carried wonderful stocks of fine merchandise. But when representatives of The Age-Herald went around to sketch and photograph them for the special fashion issue which will appear Friday, November 5, they were taken aback by the resplendent display of gowns hats furs and suits the merchants exhibited.
 Women of Alabama don't make the mistake of thinking you have to go to New York or Chicago to purchase beautiful and up-to-date merchan- disc.
 The stores in Birmingham carry just as fine and to-the-mnute stocks as any stores in the country, bar none
 The big stores and speciality shops are giving The Age-Herald their hearty cooperation to- wards making the fashion issue of Friday the most notable thing in the history of the city.
 Don't fail to see it, as it will prove to you con- clusively what The Age-Herald has always preached d-you can buy whatever you want in Birmingham.
