FAMOUS PLACE OF
 THOUSAND HOTELS
Compared to Texas Spot Where Science Discovered
 Vitalitas Stratum

There is one spot in Bohemia where IT springs of hot water burst out of the ground. Surrounding these are 1000 hotels, some almost as old as civilization. The place is known around the earth as Carlsbad. It's fame is due to the fact that nature has made the waters cura- tive for certain ills. The sick of the old world, who can afford it, go there as a last resort. They have come to realize that nature is the greatest doctor of all and they pin their last faith to these n4edrated waters.
 Comparisons have been made between Carlsbad waters and the remarkable stratum found in Texas, now known as Vitalitas Carlsbad waters contain soda, 1inc potash and carbonic acid gas. The basic chemicals of vitalitas are iron, sulphur sodium, magnesium, aluminium and traces of free sulphuric acid and others. With these there Is some sus- pended force the nature of which is not understood Nitalitas far exceeds any of the known medicinal waters in curative properties. It took century for Carls- bad to gain world fame. In two years the name of Vitalitas has spread around the earth Vitalitas literally sweeps away such ills as indigestion, rheuma- tism, biliousness, nervous debility and ills generally of stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and blood. You can get Vitalitas at Averyt's drug store, 109-111 Twentieth street; also Pegram-Patton Drug com psny, Bessemer. and all other druggists. --Adv.

EDISON AND LEWIS NIXON

Thomas A. Edison was quoted day or two ago as having intimated that with adequate facilities and the right kind of manufacturing apparatus he is certain that he would be able to build submarines for the government at Washington within 60 days time.
 Shortly after the war in Europe be- gan, Lewis Nixon was quoted as hay ing said that if the facilities for manu- featuring could be provided he was cer- tain that submarines could be built within few weeks time. Although MT. Nixon is an expert authority upon marine architecture and the making as well as the navigating of battleships, nevertheless the opinion commonly held was that his proposition was prepos- terous, if he were correctly quoted. Now comes Edison with a statement substantially identical with the state ment made year and a half ago by MT Nixon.
 The remark has been heard since Edison spoke that if both he and Mir Nixon are right, then 1t should be easJ for the navy department rapidly to ac- cumulate what many regard as one of the most effective defensive weapons, the submarine. EdisoRs friends say that he is intensely interested, not so much as a manufacturer and inventor as an American citizen. in the con structive propositions now under con- sideration which have for their pur- pose the creating for the United States of an adequate navy, especially for coast defense.

NO DECISION YET ON
 SECRETARY OF WAR
Choice Lies Between HOus- ton and Those Outside
 Official Life

Washington, February 14.-While Pres ident Wilson has not selected a new Secretary of War, it was indicated to- night that the choice lay between Sec retary Houston of the department of az riculture and several men outside of of- ficia1 life. The President is carefully canvassing the qualifications of all the men he considers available. It Is said that although he may reach-a decision at any time, it is probable no nomina- ton will be made for several days.
 Among the men outside official life un- derstood to be under consideration are Carter Harrison, former mayor of Chi cago, and Judson Harmon, former gov ernor of Ohio. Assistant Secretary Pe- ters of the treasury department, Seere- tary Lane of the interior department and Counsellor Polk of the state department, have also been suggested. Carl Vrooman, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, is said to be a possible successor to Sec retary Houston, should the latter be shifted to the war department.
 Tine President has received a large number of political inducements for va rious men. but officials say the selection will not be made upon political grounds.

For Catarrhal Deafness
 and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suffer- ing from catarrh and head noises. Amer ican people would do well to consider the method employed by the English to combat this insidious disease. Every- one knows how damp the English cli- mate is and how dampness affects those suffering from catarrh. In England they treat catarrhal deafness and head noises as constitutional disease and
 use an internal remedy for it that is
 really very efficacious.
 Sufferers who could scarcely hear a watch tick tell how they had their hear ing restored by this English treatment to such an extent that the tick of d watch was plainly. audible seven and eight inches away from either ear. Therefore if you know someone who is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deaf ness or head noises, cut out this form
 ula and hand it to them. and you will have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf ness The prescription can be easily prepared at home for about 75c and is made as follows.

Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflamma- ton and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes. and thus to equalize the air pres sure on the drum, but to correct any excess of secretion in the middle ear. and the results 1t gives are usually re- markablys quick and effective

 tail. Captain McKean said experts of the navy had questioned the youth closely.
 REAL PROGRESS MADE
 Representative Britten of Illinois asked Captain McKean if the acton of the de- partment in contracting for 16 additional small submarines two months ago, was not ridiculous in the light of the informa- ton it then had as to the efficiency of larger craft.
 Characteristics of ships are matters determined by the general board" Cap tain McKean replied. He said he believed
 it had been thought best to get as many submarines as possible constructed quick ly, and that Congress had fixed the limit of cost fer the 16 boats thereby limiting their size. He pointed out also that for distances of 300 miles or less the small boat was fully as efficient if not more so than an SO0-ton craft. They were imperative for shallow water work, he added.
 Representative Britten pressed the wit ness as to what steps had heen taken by the navy department to be ready to meet the emergency conditions which seemed to exist.
 We have made more real progress in real readiness Captain McKean said, Gin the last two years than in any previ- ous five-year period ill my experience in the navy. I don't think I have ever known time when everybody in the service from top to bottom, was working as hard with their heads and hands to prepare the fleet for active service.'
 At another point Representative Brit ten asked why the department had not attempted to speed up delivery of ships TOW under construction. Captain Mo- Kean said this was a matter for the con tractors and the department had little power. If the contractors were penal jzed. he said, Congress always revoked the sentence.
 T think your files will show, MT. Britten,'' he said, that no penalty has ever been imposed upon a contractor, tut that it was rebated sooner or later by an acz of Congress. They may nave i to wait 15 years, but they get it back. VALUES OF TYPES
  Representative Padgett put into the record report of the general board a year ago showing the relative fighting efficiency of various types of battleships. Taking the Delaware as a standard of 100 per cent he said the Oregon figures, 13 per cent. and the New York at 157 per cent, Captain McKean said report deal- ing with the whole subject of personnel and ships complements soon would be forthcoming from the Atlantic fleet and would answer all questions. A supplemental estimate of $77,0O0 for the naval militia, making a total of S3s7,- 7ss for that purpose compared with $780, 0Gv appropriated last year, was submitted to Congress today by Secretary Daniels The increase is to meet the greater mile age and transportation charges occasion ed by changing the plans for the sum- mer cruise of the naval militia the com ing summer,

central powers when they secure pass ports for travel abroad. Just how the attention of Americans in Europe could be brought to the order has not been determined.
 It is pointed out that the danger of Americans travelling from the United States in British and French ships would in any event be slight; ships of those nationalities entering American waters not being armed. They, there fore, are immune from the new pro- gramme of the central powers and their viously given.

GOVERNOR ID MAKE
 THOROUGH PROBE .OF ESCAPE OF EAST
Notorious Prisoner Secured $17O From Man Carrying Him to Jail, His Keys
 and Clothes

Montgomery, February 14,-(Special.) ) Circumstances surrounding the escape of Henry East, notorious white con vict of Lauderdale county, from the GUS tody of Warden R. L. Johnson of We tumpka. are such as to demand, in the opinion of Governor Henderson, a viz orous investigation, and such will be made as soon as Warden Johnson makes his report to the governor, it was learned at the capitol this afternoon.
 According to reports received at the capitol Saturday East escaped from a moving Louisville and Nashville pas- senger train near Lewisburg, Tenn, early that morning. First reports were to the effect that East. handcuffed and shackled, escaped in his night clothes.
 DIDN'T LEAVE MUCH
 Later 1t was reported that before escaping. the notorious prisoner sue ceeded In rIfiing Mir. JOhnsOn's clothes of $17O in cash, and that not content with this haul, made off with that Of- fciaI's wearing apparel. It was further with keys secured from MT. JohnsOn's pOcAetsS unAOche0 the handcuna and the shacISles about his ankles.
 None of these reports. however has been confirmed, except that one which declares that East made off with his captor's money.
 MT. Johnson has not yet made his re- port to the governor or to President Rogers of the state board of convict inspectors. It was announced hero to- day that he was i'll at his home but that 1t was expected that he would be able to make a report of Blasts escape tomorrow.
 Governor Henderson was not at his office today, not having returned from Troy, but from other sources it was learned that an investigation will be ordered. President Rogers. in the ab- sence of Warden Johnson's report, re- fused to state what action would be taken. He indicated, however, that lie was awaiting Warden Johnsons report with considerable interest
