NOTEWORTHY CASE:
 AT BESSEMER, ALA.
It Illustrates the Wonderful Curative Effects of Nat
 ural Vitalitas

Notable cases in which Vitaltas per ton of health are reported from time to time from cities and towns throughout the entire south Vitalitas is being recog- nized as the greatest known natural tonic and corrective. It's application in the treatment of chronic disorders Is being constantly broadened. and it now includes
 nearly all Arrangements of stomach, liver kidneys and blood, even in most
 chronic form.
 The following interview with MT. NJ. N
 Bradley of the United States Savings
 bank at Bessemer, Ala, indicates the re-
 suits that many people are daily receiv-
 ing from Vitalitas. Mir. Bradley says:
 ''I suffered five years from catarrhal affliction of the stomach and indiges- ton: could not rest or sleep with any comfort and everything l ate disagreed with me- and caused d!stention of the
 stomach accompanied by severe pains in the lower bowels. took medicine con stantly and was told there was marked indications of appendicitis. l have taken but one bottle of Vitalitas and am abso- lutely cured; appetite good and sleep like a child. Cannot speak too highly of this remedy ~
 Vitalitas may be taken in either hot or cold water; a teaspoonful to half glass. |, four times daily. It Is pleasant and will be found wonderfully responsive. sec the display and sample Vitalitas at Av- eryts drug store. 109-1u Twentieth street or write there for information.

Mineral City Chapter
On Thursday, September g. a resu

tageous to do that than strictly to adhere to the national banking law. In Califor- mia, MT. Gage said, it was the custom of bankers to follow the plan adopted py the bankers of Great Britain In England, and especially in Ireland, banks open credit account. If merchant desired to obtain capital he made his wants known to the managers of bank in his home town. The managers knew the man, what his capacity and integrity were. So they permitted him to draw against credit. In this country that would be called over drafts. In Great Britain 1t is not only lawful, but it makes it possible for a mer- chant to gain profit upon his business transaction in excess of the interest he pays to the bank. He may pay the bank per cent and his profit may De 10 per cent. His net gain is, therefore, per cent. A custom of that kind did prevail MT. Gage said, in California and worked out very satisfactorily. It p'ob- ably is no longer practiced, but it was not confined to California. When Mir. Gage was active in banking life in the Mississippi valley and in Chicago 1t was, if not common, at least not an unusual practice for banks to grant credit in ac- cordance with the English methods. This custom no longer exists. The present ad- nninistration at Washington has made 1t impra cticabie for banks to permit over drafts.
 Hints have been heard in the financial district that the apparent success of the method worked out by President Kauf man may be traced in part to the earnest desire of those who are in authority in the federal reserve system to bring as many state chartered banks into membership of the system as possible Ultimately it
 is probable that the greater number oi state chartered banks will take advan- tage of the opportunity offered by the
 federal reserve banking law to affiliate themselves with that system. So far, the
 disposition of these state-chartered banks is similar to that which the state char
 tered banks as a whole manifested when
 the first national banking law went into
 operation. Months passed before state chartered banks in any number surren. dered their state charters and reorganized as national banks. By the terms of the federal reserve bank law it is not neces- sary for a state chartered bank to sur reder it's charter in order to affiliate It. self with the federal reserve system

LARGE DELEGATION FROM BIRMINGHAM
 |SAT MONTGOMERY
Interested in Anti trust Bill-Others Work on Court Bill-ThOse
 Present

Montgomery, September 6.-(Spoclal)
 tomorrow will make itself felt respecting
 pending legislation.
 The largest delegation came for the ex-
 press purpose Of preventing Representa-
 tive Morris of Dale from carrying out his
 purpose of taking from the adverse cal
 endar the drastic antitrust bill of Sena-
 tor Bonner. This bill as is remembered,
 had an uneventful passage through the
 senate, and was favoraby reported by a
 house committee before the state was
 made aware of the provisions it
 contained. The measure was then recom-
 mitted and chiefly through the efforts of
 large Birmingham delegation was ad-
 versed.
 Representative Morris last week gave notice that on Tuesday he would move to take the bill from the adverse calen- dar and put 1t on it's final passage. The indications tonight point to the defeat of
 the Morris motion. AS has been pointed
 out before, the bill affects every line of business, and would prevent it Is said for instance, The Age-Herald charging a certain rate for advertising, if newspa- per in any other community should charge
 smaller rate.
 Judge J. P. Stiles and his chief clerk, Woolsey Morrow, reached Montgomery tonight for the purpose of making an effort to secure an amendment to the Jefferson county salary bill, which would make 1t possible in the future for the probate judge to receive as much salary as the future sheriff. Senator Judge, as is remembered amended this bill in the senate so that the salary of the
 probate judge and the sheriff would be identical but the house members declined to agree. In conference committee Senator Judge lost his point. and the only hope, Judge Stiles entertains, it is
 said, lies in the possibility Of an execu- tive amendment
 Judge John c. Pugh Is present. He
 will try to prevail on the legislature so to amend the court bills that the present custom of electing judges in Jefferson may be continued. It is his argument that it would be unwise tc
 submit all the judges in one election tc the caprices of the people, and that the election of two judges at the conclusion of the terms would prove greatly more advantageous. This provision was con. tained in the Jefferson county consoli- dated court bill, but the recess commit
 tee on judiciary, insisting that the sys-
 tenn throughout the state should be uni form, wrought the change.
 Other Birmingham people in the city l are: George w. Blinn, Jack Adams, c. C. Nesmith Jack Stallings, John Maynor Walter Sessions. Walter K. McAdory James F. Hawkins, A. P. Stephens Charles E. Rice. R. J. Rushton, A. C. 1 Smith and Joseph E. Johnson.
