JOHN PROCTOR WINS
 FREE-FOR-ALL STAKE
Is a Texas Entry-Handled by C. H. BabcOck-Lewis c. Morris Runs a
 Great Race

Montgomery, January 25.-John Proctor, the entry of A. L. Curtis of Bolton, Tex, handled by c. H. Babcock, was tonight declared winner of the free-for-all stake of the National Field Trials club. This stake carries a purse of $500 to the winner, the largest stake of any field trials club in the United States or Canada. John Proctor was last Saturday declared the winner of the national championship stake, which was run at Grand Junc- tion, Tenn, and has been a big winner since he has been on the big circuit.
 Gibraltar Ollie, owned by G. s. Par sons of Kenebunk, Me-. DeSoto Frank, owned by A. G. c. Sage of New York, and Lewis c. Morris, owned by E. J. Rowe of Birmingham, all ran great races in the second series of the free forall stake, but the judges awarded the highest honor possible for a dog to win-the field trials sport to John Proctor, because of his superiority over the other three dogs in his foot work during the hard three hours heat.
 Twenty bevies were found by the dogs during the six hours running Tuesday, and all of the dogs handled each bevy they found without fault, having them accurately located, and being steady to both wing and shot.
 This stake was the last of the big trials of the season.

STRANGE LIQUID
 HELPING NATION
Demand for Remarkable Volcanic Product Spread
 ing Over World

Americas importance as medicine producing nation is being advanced by the extensive production of natural Vii talitas. This strange liquid is extracted from a volcanic stratum that is rich in mineral chemicals, and that is unlike any other known deposit. Much scientific 1n- terest has attracted to Vitalitas. In the last two years news of it has spread over much of the world and has resulted in so great demand for it as to at times over tax the capacity of the producing com pany.
 Newspapers have had much to say about Vitalitas and demonstrations of this new product have been or are now being made in leading cities throughout many states.
 Among the principal ingredients of nat ural Vitalitas are iron, sodium, sulphur, magnesium, aluminium and calcium, so blended within the earth as to constitute the most effective natural tonic and cor rective known. In a medicinal way, Vii talitas has proven a revelation, and is now being widely used as a nerve and blood tonic and as a home treatment for such disorders as indigestion, rheuma- tism, nervous debility and liver and kid ney ills. Relief and cure in the most ob- stinate cases are constantly being re- ported. One teaspoonful of Vitalitas in a half glass of hot or cold water is the nor mai dose. You can get Vitalitas a booklet free at Kuhlman's Drug Store, No. 1.-Adv.

TO REDUCE RATES
Coast Line Gives Notice of 40 Per
 Cent Reduction in Naval Stores

Montgomery. January 25-(Special) Announcement was made today by the state public service commission that the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad company has determined to make a reduction of 40 per cent in rates on naval stores in less than carload lots. The carrier applied to the commission for permission to publish the new tariff.
 The reduction in rate on naval stores bv the Coast Line railroad means, 1t is believed, that the other roads operating in south Alabama will make similar re- duction. Recently the shipment of naval stores has fallen off to considerable extent, and it is believed that the reduc' ton will bring about increased business 1T those commodities.

WILL NOT FOLLOW WILSON

W IbL ANOl IOh1OV W W AAoOAN
 Dr. Wise denied that any attempt was to be made by the opponents of the preparedness programme to follow President Wilson on his western trip and make speeches in opposition to his policies.
 This would be an undignified and even ludicrous performance of which no serious minded man would be guilty declared Dr. Wise.
 Dr. Wise, a life long republican, joined the democrats to give his sup supporters he was. He spoke with en- thusiasm of the most recent of Pres ident Wilson's achievements in the realm of statesmanshfp-that forward step which has resulted in what might be called a higher construction of Pan Americanism.
 q earnestly believe" said Dr. Wise, "that nothing can be effected which will make more definitely for peace than such a league of nations as is foreShadowed in this Pan-American comfy.
 with regard to the preparedness programme of the President, it must be borne in mind that my difference with the President here is not to be re- garded as a criticism. This matter is an open question. The humblest citi- zen has the same right to express his opinion and to seek to mold public opinion, if he is honest and disinter- ested, as the President himself.
 T know the preparedness pro- gramme of the President is called a moderate programme. and it is moder- ate as compared with the military pro- gramme of Roosevelt or the naval pro- gramme of the temporarily submerged Hobson However. the position a group of us are taking rests upon this unacceptable fact-any special military preparedness programme by America at this time almost inevitably means a renewal and perhaps ceaseless con- tinuance of this war. The supreme service which the America of our hopes and loves can render the world is to throw it's mighty and irresistible in fluence on behalf of peace by postpon- ing a decision with regard to special preparedness until after the war

 "The President has revealed such great and high powers of statesman ship within the past IS months some of us among his nearest friends are grieved to think he did not find it pos sible through his power and prestige, to persist in making our nation the resistless leader of the world"
