nothing most of the time. Their
business, their home and their
life suffer.
They need something to build
them up, something to throw off
these symptoms of a weakened,
debilitated condition produced by
either mental or physical over
work or by the abuse of a vital
organ more often the stomach
than any other.
That something has been found.

so common to the half sick, de-
bilitated men and women of to-
day.
It's effects is like lifteng your

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

pride knowing that he acquitted himself like a man, but for few minutes play to have a son brought home dead on Thanksgiving day, or even worse, per manent cripple, to whom death would be a mercy, do you think we can give thanks with hearts overflowing with grief?
 Kipling has said that the female of the species is more deadly than the male, . but until the mothers protest against this "murdering of the innocents." I fear he is wrong for a wild beast will fight to the death for its young, but the mothers sit indolently by quiescent and even attend the game and see the son killed before their eyes. We wonder when we read of the bull fights in the Latin countries and of the many women who attend how they can bring themselves to witness such bloody spectacle, but we can reconcile ourselves to the fact that they are dumb brutes and it doesn't mat ter much, but in this age cruelty to anil mals is being taught our boys and girls as a crime and the law steps in to pre- vent much of it, and yet our young girls and mothers can sit and cheer on human beings to their death.
 Is it right that the colleges are allowed to exploit our boys to pander to the baser passions and lust for blood of the indif- ferent and heartless populace? Have we not the right to ask the colleges and schools to send our boys back to us iroperly equipped physically and mentally and ready for the battle of life, whose victory comes only to those who are the best able to keep up with the push?

EXPECT 18.OOO.OOO
 TONS OF COAL

The year of 1917 will see the greatest tonnage of coal ever mined in Alabama.
 This is the opinion of the Bir- mingham coal operators. The mar ket is firm and the operators be- lieve 1917 will be the most pros- porous year in their history. With the acquisition of more orders from the gulf coast ports and the de- velopment of new coal mines in Alabama, they confidently believe to 1S,000,000 tons. This will eclipse the greatest tonnage yet recorded, that in 1913, when 17,907,2S4 tons were mined.
 The shortage of car carriers that has materially affected the output of the Alabama mines this year has not prevented the operators from selling a greater tonnage than in 1915. It is estimated that the 1916 tonnage of coal will be slightly less than 16,000,000 tons. In 1915 the output was 15,266,S31 tons.
 While the existing higher prices on coal sold in 1916 will serve to increase the total income of the operators, the greatest amount of the fuel has been used by the in dustries in the Birmingham dis trict in the manufacture of pig iron and coke.

Fish in Alabama Streams

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Would not a large supply of good food fish aid very materially in reducing the expense of family and general food sup plies, and especially in meat bills, and be favored by each and every hotel and restaurant owner and patron?
 Construction by the Alabama Power company and others of numerous dams within the state is one of the important factors necessary in greatly aiding to heavily stock the streams with only fish of real food value. If the reader will read page 124S of that most excellent and reliable pictorial and game authority for December, l. e., Forest and Stream. he will observe that even the Ringly tar pon IS quite freely caught in season in the salt waters of south Alabama.
 But, pompano, Spanish mackerel trout, red fish, red snapper are also freely caught and shipped to inland towns and cities.
 There is no reason why pickerel and pike, bass, perch, sunfish or pumpkin seed" mullet and other good food fish cannot be made plentiful in our state, to the benefit and pleasure of all our citi- zens, and especially the rising genera ton.
 The writer remembers the great sport had by him in his youth and later years in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties. New York, as also in Warren, McKean and Potter countiesS Pennsylvania. in quest of the beautiful spotted trout. and hopes this may aid the youth to better fishing. JAMES F. SLATER.

PATHOS AND HUMOR
 ARE MINGLED IN
 HOMELY RECITAL
Started the Race With $20O and This Was Spent Within a Very
 Few Days

Fired with all the ardent enthusiasm of a crusader, spurred on by a vision to destroy a force which he considers a menace to American freedom. Sidney J. Catts, governor-elect of Florida, told the story of how he was elected to a big au- dence at Cable hall last night.
 It was a story of gripping intensity. It was a narrative filled with dramatic incidents. interspersed with humorous happenings of highly amusing nature.
 The audience was sympathetic to a high degree. The more serious, the more impassioned parts of the speakers ad- dress were cheered to the echo. His numerous stories and anecdotes were greeted with uproarious laughter. Pre- liminary addresses consumed one hour and after MT. Catts had spoken for an hour and a half the audience called for more.
 He declared that the Roman Catholic church was an insidious force which threatened to tear down American insti- tutions and American freedom; he alleged that the Jesuits held their allegiance to

Pietro is one of the most popular entertainers who comes to Birmingham and his presence at the Lyric is always an assurance of good entertainment.

At the Riiou

Which One Shall I Marry?" thus far has played to greater crowds than any other offering of the Bijou this season. The story is depicted in alle- gorica1 form and is intensely inter- esting. Despite the title of the piece it possesses none of the sordid details of a white slave drama. The offering at the Bijou this week is considered one of the cleanest, most unusual, unique plays that has been seen in Birmingham this year.
 A matinee will be given this aft ernoon and Saturday. The stage set tings are extremely artistic and the cast of players is much better than the average popular priced production. Next week Kate Fillmore in My Aunt from Utah."

Deaths by Football

 Seventeen boys have been sacrificed on

 make her declining years one of thank l fulness and praise for such son, a son that she watched over from infancy. dreaming of what he would be and what he would do She finds her trust was betrayed by the college in whose hands was the care of this young life-sent home dead!

PECULIAR POWER AS ORATOR

Cats. Now. I am greeted everywhere as Governor Catts. It made quite a difference I can tell you"
 PECULIAR POWER AS ORATOR ! Mr. Catts has a peculiar power as an orator and speaker. He has a massive
 frame and a powerful physique. His voice, while practically broken down from the 5000 addresses he made during his campaign, has exceptional oratorical pos sibilties. A wonderful sense of humor, and the ability to tell stories in style that would do credit to the most experi- erced raconteur, he has no trouble hold ing the attention of his audience. His entire style of speaking, his general ap- pearance and his methods of campaign- ing mark him as a unique but extremely forceful character. He could say things that in other speakers would sound coarse and possibly offensive, and escape the slightest censure from his hearers.
 He was telling of his first brush in politics in Alabama when he ran for Con- gross against Tom Hefln in the fifth district. "I did not beat him, but l cer- tsinly kept him on the jump" he said. There were six of us in the race and Heflin barely nosed me out
 And that reminds me of how low down some men are in politics. I gave fellow in that campaign against Heflin $250 to canvass a county for me. The next thing knew the internal scoundrel had public ly bet $250 that Tom Heflin would beat me. That fellow lives here in Blrrning ham today and if I ever see him will whip him, so help me God!''
 In addition to Dr. Dozier and Dr. Dick inson. several well-known local citizens occupied seats on the platform, among them being Joseph O. Thompson, Prof. S. A. Ellis and others.
