WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question IS asked every day. A cold is really a fever, not always caused by the weather but often due to disordered blood or lack of important food-elements. In changing seasons fat-foods are essential because they distribute heat by enriching the blood and so render the system better able to withstand the varying elements. This is the important reason why Scott's Emulsion should always be taken for colds, and it does more builds strength to prevent sickness.
 Scott's Emulsion contains Natures rare building fats, so skillfully blended that the blood profits from every drop. It is free from harmful drugs or alcohol. Sold at drug stores always get the genuine.

Comment From Hungary.

Zurich, Switzerland, via London, Dec. IS, 5:55 a. m.-The Pester Lloyd, one of the leading Hungarian journals, raises the question as to whether the American people really will stand be- hind the United States government in the matter of the Ancona note. The paper remarks regarding the question of indemnity that the Washington, state department always has refused to recognize the claims of foreign countries whose subjects have been killed or injured during strike pro- ceedings, as in Pennsylvania and Colo- rado recently. It addst We are not inclined to take this latest manifesto ton of American behavior too tragic ally After the war we shall need every capable worker. Our felloW subjects in America will be afforded most favorable opportunities to return home.'
 In conclusion the newspaper ex- presses the hope that few Hungarians or Austrians will be left in America 1 to have their self-respect as subjects of the monarchy injured by reaction l of public opinion.

 Tries to Leave Court room.
 While the lawyers were pleading their cases Altman attempted to leave the court room for some purpose and Judge Meskill had to interrupt the proceedings in order to advise one of the officers of his act. He was brought back by Officer Malone.
 Prosecutor Klett said that the pur- pose of the law is to protect the people from impositions such as are apparent by the offered sale of such valuable articles at such cheap rates, and also to protect the merchants who are established and who pay their fees.
 Both Men Are Fined.
 Judge Meskill remarked that from the testimony presented by the state he would have to find the accused guilty. He also said that some of the statements made by the witnesses for the defense had not been as straight forward as they might have been and he would impose a fine of s2O and costs on each.

ing prompt satisfaction for the Ameri- can demands"
Two Weak Points.

Essen, Rhenish Prussia, Dec. b. The "Rhenish Westphalian Gazette" finds two weak points in the Ancona note, first, that arrangements with one belligerent, Germany, have no validity for Austrian Hungary; secondly, that firing upon the Ancona was the only measure to prevent the already at tempted flight and was, therefore, per- fectly justified, according to the recog- niZed rules of war.
 The Gazette" expresses the con- viction that Austria Hungary will never disavow the sinking of the An coma, nor punish the commander of the submarine adding: "The demands addressed by the neutral American government to Austria are as unex- ampled as the tone of the note is arrogant, and the only conclusion pos sible is that the Union wishes at all costs to bring about the same con- f1ict with Austria Hungary as with Germany.
 Action Perfectly Legal. "The Austrian government can
 never declare an act of one of its
 officers unjustified which was perfectly
 legal according to the laws of war : An officers sense of duty and his ini. l tiative, which determine the value oi
 an officer, would undergo a remark able disciplining if the American 1 standpoint was in the future to b'
 the guide to his actions. We venture ] to expres the hope that the Austria
 government will refuse to judge ar

JUDGE ALLEN BACK
WITH HIS BRIDE
AT Home Temporarily al
zoos South Twentieth.
Eager Inquirer for News

Judge and Mrs. B. M. Allen reached Bir-
mingham late yesterday afternoon, their
bridal tour having included trip to the
expositions with stops in various western
states. The past few days have been
spent at Virginia and West Virginia re-
sorts, and at Judge Aliens old home In
Virginia. They will be located temporarily
at Judge Aliens former bachelor home
1oOS South Twentieth street.
Judge Allen last night was an eager
inquirer for news. He wanted to know
what had been going on in Alabama
what the legislature was doing, how pro-
hibtion was being enforced and was de-
lighted to hear that pay rolls are again
normal and that industries of the Bir-
mingham district were humming again.
You cannot imagine how shocked was
to pick up the paper in Atlanta yester-
day and see an account of Bob McDavid's
DEATH he said. "He was one of the
finest. cleanNSt-cut fellows 1 ever knew.
My acquaintance with him covered many
years, and I was deeply attached to him.
I'VE had wonderful trip through the
west tho expositions are a revelation and
the trip was in every way thoroughly en-
1oyable."

.SLOSS COMPANY TO
ASK PERMISSION To
.REL|GHT COKE OVENS
Ovens on First Avenue Were
Shut Down in 1914 in
Accordance With Agree
ment With the City

1t is understood that application will be
made to the board of city commissioners
by the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron CONF
pany for the relighting of the beehive
coke ovens located near the Sloss furnace
on First avenue. II will be recalled that
two years ago the city entered into a con-
tract with the Sloss company that In con-
sideration of the city asserting to vacate,
in favor of the company. certain parts of
Third avenue and two nearby alleys and
the withdrawal of several damage suits.
the Sloss company was to cease the oper-
alton of the coke ovens on the first day
of January, 1914
The city and all other parties to tho
contract carried out it's provisions and on
the above date the operation of the ovens
was discontinued and have been idle since
that time
With the present demand for pig iron
the company is facing a shortage OF coke
and 1t is understood will make application
to the city to be allowed to relight the
ovens until the rush of orders is COM
pleted. The point is made that with the
enforced idleness of many workmen dur
ing the past year that the relighting of
the opens will give employment to many
of the men who have been idle as well as
to help the company recover from the re-
cent business depression.
The suppression of the coke ovens was
effected by the ordinance regulating the
smoke nuisance and 1t is understood bill
has been presented before the legislature
to annull the smoke ordinance of the city.
The section of the contract between the
city and the S,oss company in reference
to shutting down the coke ovens follows:
That the said Sloss-Sheffied Steel and
Iron company hereby covenants and
agrees to and with the said city of Bir-
mingham that 1t will cease operating said
coke ovens from and after the first day
of January, 1914, or sooner. IL it should oe
able in shorter time to build an addi-
tional battery of coke ovens elsewhere.
and to connect them up SO as to gain a
continuous supply of coke at said city
furnaces for their operation. and will not
thereafter operate or attempt to operate
any coke ovens at said place; and from
and after said date any further opera
ton of coke ovens on said lot shall con-
c'usively be presumed to be nuisance
and shall be abatable as such.'

Importance and delegates from all parts
of the south will be present to hear him.
Mr.. Harding's address, which will deal
with the cotton situation and will go into
the matter fully and with an experts
knowledge of the subject, will be printed
in full in tomorrow mornings Age-Herald.
A special conference with Mr.. Harding
is to be held while he is in Birmingham
by several delegations from all parts OF
the south, including a committee from the
Southern Bankers association, appointed
at the recent convention in Galveston; a
committee from the Alabama Bankers as
ISOLATION, a committee from the Alabama
Merchants association and other state and
southern association. The conference
probably will be held Thursday morning
at the Chamber of Commerce, but in case
Mr. Harding has to leave Thursday morn

In many conferences with President Will
son and administration meetings on the
cottNn situation always have found him
the central figure. His grasp of finance,
together with his knowledge of cotton
and southern conditions, is what is be-
lieved to have made his opportunity for
service to the south and the nation which
he seems to have so fully grasped.
1t is generally believed that he will come
to Birmingham bearing direct messages
from President Wilson and the demo-
cratic administration to the people of the
south on the cotton situation of 1916. Con-
ditions are not the same now as those that
faced the cotton growers last fall. This
is to be the subject of his address, and
not only the whole south, but the whole
country, is turning to Birmingham this
week to see what Mr.. Harding is going to
say.

Il do not anticipate much trouble to
the cotton of the south over the English
embargo yesterday said Norman H.
Johnston of Richmond. editor of the Mer-

lieve that the embargo will be run to
such an extent by Germany and Ger
man sympathizers that it will have lit
tie effect.
why. do you know that you can't ac-
count now for all of the cotton that is
going out of this country? The port rec
ords don't show it. 1t is going out In lit
tie skiffs, bale or two at time, and
is being transferred to ocean going boats
and nobody knows where 1t goes except
those directly concerned. This has been
going on a year and the English en-
barge won't stop it. only make it worse.
and therefore don't believe<the embargo
will produce any material effect on us.
