HENDERSON, INVITES RYE ID ATTEND THE
 T|GER-VANDY CAME
Tom Bragg Requests Gov ernor Henderson to Lead Parade of Auburn Boys
 Before the Game

Montgomery. November 4.-(Special.) Governor Henderson today invited Gov. Thomas c. Rye of Tennessee to be his guest on the occasion of the Auburn Vanderbilt game at Birmingham on No- vember 13.
 Tt is my pleasure to extend to you an invitation to come to Alabama Mo- vember 13, when the Vanderbilt foot ball team, representing the great Vol unteer state, meets the Auburn Tigers, representing Alabama, on the gridiron at Birmingham" said Governor Tender son in his telegram to Governor Rye. "As my guest, you must join me on the sidelines, and after the Commodores have been defeated, I shall commune with you in sorrow. Kindly advise me if it will be possible for you to be In Birmingham to witness the south's su- preme football fray"
 The governor sent his telegram to Governor Rye following the receipt of a letter from Prof. Thomas Bragg, di- rector of athletics at Auburn, in which Professor Bragg invited the governor to attend the game and make short speech to the students of Auburn, who will be present at the game. Professor Bragg plans to have a great Auburn parade at Birming gham, headed by Gov ernor Henderson.
 Professor Bragg called at the gov ernors office today, but was unable to see the executive, who was absent in Troy. The popular Auburn instruc- tor stated that the plans to have Gov ernor Henderson make short speech during the itnermission between halves. Professor Bragg's letter to the governor is as follows:
 My Dear Governor Henderson: The
 annual football game between the team that will fight under the Orange and Blue of Auburn will take place in Birmingham on November 13 and in behalf of the Alumni Association of the Alabama Polytechnic institute l am writing to ask you to be our guest on that occasion.
 "Vanderbilt and Auburn have met in
 Birmingham on the gridiron for the last three years The first contest resulted in tie and the next two games were won by Auburn. This years contest promises to be more exciting than ever, and will, in all probability, determine the champion ship of the south. This game between Vanderbilt and Auburn is now re- garded as the premier sporting event of the entire south. Thousands of football enthusiasts from every sec ton of the south will be there to cheer their favorite
 Can't you lay aside the cares of your great office on that day and come to Birmingham to witness this great struggle and thereby inspire by your presence and famous smile the football team that will represent our commonwealth"

Equal Suffrage Activities

In recent issue of Harpers there is an excellent article entitled ''The Conde- scending Man and the Obstructive Wom- an," which brings out most forcibly one point which is seldom touched upon by speakers or writers-that there is no com pulsion in voting-that women, like men, will not need to vote if they do not wish to do so.
 The article says, among other good things: "A visitor from Mars would not unnaturally suppose that woman suf- frage was some sort of disease or socia, abuse, which tender-hearted and public spirited persons were resolved to sup press That Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge president of the National Associa- tion Opposed to Woman Suffrage, should not want to vote is proper enough, but not especially significant. That Miss Katherine B. Davis, commissioner of cor rection in New York city and head of a department numbering coo or 700 voters should not be allowed to vote, despite her wish to do so, Is highly significant. But that Mrs. Arthur Dodge should seek to prevent Miss Katharine B. Davis from voting Is preposterous. The obstructive woman is disquieting social and politi- cal phenomenon and complicates what would otherwise be comparatively sim pie issue"
 There is no organized opposition to suf- frage in this state, although it is known that repeated efforts have been made by Mrs. Dodge and associates to form one.
 It speaks well for the intelligence of Alabama women that even those who have not yet learned the value of the

THIS WOMAN OFTEN FELL ID TIE FLOOR
 FROM WEAKNESS
Declares She Was Almost Nervous Wreck and Thought Case
 Hopeless

Tt looked like I was getting worse all the time, but just as soon as I got hold of this Tanlac the tide turned and l began to get better, and now l feel like a new woman." said Mrs. L. Wideman, 2224 Fourth avenue, a few days ago in telling of the wonderful results she had obtained by the use of Tanlac- Continu- ing she said:
 My trouble was chronic dyspepsia and constipation and l suffered for years and goodness knows it seemed like ages and often l would become so weak would fall unconscious to the floor. couldn't eat much and what little l ate would not remain on my somach. Neither could l sleep to speak of. I couldn't look after my household work in the right kind of way. l tell you l became almost a nervous wreck. l tried to get better by taking numerous medicines, but they didn't do me a particle of good, so l began to think my case hopeless.
 ''One day my son said to me: Mother, I hear so /luch talk about Tanlae; why don't you Cry it? It might help you and sou can never tell until you try didn't pit much faith in it, but when my boy brought me bottle and begged me to try it I did, and now I praise that day I began taking it. If anybody had told me any medicine could have done me as much good as Tan1ac did I could not have believed them. Within a few days I began to feel better, and in a weeks time I felt hundred per cent bet ter. I got hungry and began to eat, and T ate lot too, and to my surprise my food all agreed with me. l got relief from the constipation and began to gain strength.
 q am now on my second bottle, and such relief as I have found! sleep fine and go about my housework feeling no hardship. It seems like I am getting stronger every day. and l know l Will soon be as well as l ever was.
 q am giving this statement with the hope that some other man or woman, suffering from troubles such as l had. may find the relief 1 have. Really, l feel it d duty to make the matter pulp lic for so many people are suffering every day, when Tanlac would relieve them. I know I had as stubborn case of chronic dyspepsia and constipation as anyone ever had, and Tanlac relieved me, and I believe will relieve anyone else"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclusive iy by the Patton-Pope Drug company and Jacobs drug store. It is also sold in Bessemer by the Reorganization Drug company, in Ensley by the D. w.

Our Schooling Inexpensive

From the New York Independent.
 Twenty-two million persons were en- rolled in educational institutions in the United States last year. And they re quired 7o0000 teachers. of whom 566,O ,OC0 were in public schools, to guide them In the paths of learning.
 About $S4 apiece was what it cost to give them year of schooling. Com pared with some of our other expenses as nation public schools seem to be a decidedly inexpensive hobby. They cost less than one-half of the nations expend- iture for alcoholic liquors, and their ex- pense is $30o000,000 less than that of run ming the federal government. Even for admission to the movies we spend a third of what the schools require.
 Measured in terms of products of the soil. the United States spent little more for education than the value of it's wheat crop and less than half the value of the annual harvest of corn. What the ultimate value Of the educational har- vest will be is another question.

MRS. JOHN TELLS OF HER ESTEEM FOR DIR. EDMONDS AND COMMENDSAGE
By ROSA CLIsBY JOHN

I have been much interested in Dr. Edmonds ever since he was pastor of the Presbyterian church in Montgomery, but when it was my pleasure to hear him in Birmingham, that interest doubly increased.
 It was last spring when. after a serious illness, I was in Birmingham, and almost in despair over the vicissitudes of fortune and multitudnous woes I went to the South Highlands Presbyterian church to hear Dr. Edmonds.
 had not been seated long before the atmosphere of the church had quieted my nerves. putting me ins receptive mood for the sermon.
 The organ and choir being good, my spirit was farther attuned for communion with the great, infinite and merciful Father
 When Dr. Edmonds read2his text my at tention was at once arrested by his voice, his information, and then the spirituality of the man. Throughout the service 1 was uplifted into the very presence of the Most High, and when the communion service was administered felt like one saved from her sins Never did I ex-

Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me-" Tn my Fathers house are many man sions; if it were not so. I would have told you, go to prepare place for you" My heart melted within me. for it seemed everybody felt God was there and saw Him.
 Years may come and go, but the mem ory of that soulful service will ever finger in my heart.
 From away down here in the black belt, apart from friends and feeling the depri- vation, l say from the depths of my heart, God bless Dr. Edmonds and keep him meek and lowly of heart, faithful in spirit and of long life to serve Him.
 I congratulate the editor of The Age Herald on securing a daily prayer of Dr. Edmonds, and his sermons by this medium reach hearts and eyes that hun ger for spiritual food in the form of his expositions.

Dwarfs Lose Hold

From the Indianapolis News.
 Purveyors of sideshow amusementsy are agreed, it is said, that dwarfs no longer may be counted upon to draw audiences, no matter how gifted those Liliputians may be. In Charles Stratton, known the world over by his pseudonym of Tom Thumb, this country furnished the most attractive dwarf that ever exploited his accomplishments and who, as stated by his sponsor, in what was considered the most stunning advertising of the day, was ''the delight of all the crowned heads of Europe" as well as of the uncrowned sovereigns of America.

 I once had friend here who had two boys. ages 12 and 14 years. Her doctor said that it was necessary for her to go away for awhile, as she had that most dread disease, tuberculosis. She could not afford to take her boys with her. Her husband was a travelling man. She had no one to whom she could entrust their keeping, and there was no place where she could feel safe in boarding them. Con- sequently, she remained at home, and in less than eight months she died
 In conclusion let me beg that the wiser minds may find some way to help the struggling young man--who is still a boy ito make his home life more of the kind that he needs

Gibson was miniature painter-miniak ture in every sense of the phrase-as wtsll as court dwarf to Charles I of England, and his wife, Ann Shepherd, was court dwarf to Queen Henrietta Maria. Her majesty promoted a marriage between these two clever but diminutive persons and the marriage proved happy one. The little couple broke another estab-. lished opinion-that dwarfs do not repro duce. They had nine children, five oI whom lived to years of maturity and were of ordinary stature.

Afraid or ashamed to say that he mislaid it, Vandervoort committed sui eide by hanging. A few days after his death the picture was found in the spot where he had placed it. Gibson and his wife have, however, been excelled in brevity of stature, as the united height of the two was about seven feet.

 | Speaking of the antis, it is whispered that Congressman J. T. Hef1in has been considerably softened in his suffrage views, that he no longer believes the
 ''horn-bill bird" typical of ideal family life.
 His story, which he told the rules com mittee of the House, at the suffrage hear ing two years ago, was to the effect that the male bird built a nest for his mate, then securely walled her in it with mud, flying off to the woods for luscious ber-
 ries, juicy fat worms, and other deli
 cacies for his imprisoned one, which he
 kindly fed her whenever he thought she might be hungry. The Smithsonian insti- ute preserves a specimen of this rare
 bird, fortunately now extinct But obstructive women are not the important factors in defeating the suf- frage amenments, when submitted, nor even windy orators with a penchant for
 story telling
 The political machines, vicious interests of every kind, exploiters of women and
 children, join hands to prevent it's pas sage. The political bosses do not want any unknown, untried element introduced
 into the electorate; the vice interests ob- ject to the mother viewpoint disturbing
 their slimy existence; the exploters are opposed to industrial women having any
 means of defense for themselves and their children.
 These are the real enemies of woman
 suffrage.
 Of course, they are too crafty, often
 times to come out openly and oppose.
 They can work more effectively behind
 the petticoats of respectable women, most
 of whom do not realize that they are
 obstructive, nor the forces with which
 they are allied.
