HIS FRIEND HURT;
HE HELPED HIM
Injured Man Laughed When
Simple Treatment Was Sug-
gested, But He Thanked
His Comrade Later.

Once upon a time word came to
Henry A. Voehl, of Plainfield, N J.,
that a close friend had been injured.
and full of anxiety, he visited the af-
fiicted man, who was suffering from a
sprained ankle.
1T was so bad that the leg had
turned black" said Mr.. Voehl in re-
lating the story. II told him 1 would
have him out in a week and he
laughed at me. But I took him a bot
tie of Sloan's Liniment. that night he
put some on and noticed the ankle
felt better. I told him to use it every
day. and in three days his ankle was
practically well. In four days he was
working. He gladly admits that
Sloan's Liniment put him on his
feet"
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained al
all drug stores, 25c, soc and $1.00.

IN FAVOR OF CARRANZA
Three Mexican Leaders Try to Swing
United States to First Chief.

Washington. Oct. 31.-Evidently
anxious to impress the idea that order
can be restored in their respublic and
also everything is harmonious in the
federal army, Gen. Alvaro Obregon,
Pablo Gonzales, Benjamin Hill and
Eduardo Hay have announced them
selves as favoring Carranza for the
constitutional presidency of Mexico.
The ponderous and flamboyant docu-
ment, cabled from Mexico City and is-
sued thru the Mexican news bureau,
is really a sort of nominationg speech
made almost on the eve of the Quer-
erato convention.
1t is believed that Carranza inspired
the statment, thus hoping to influence
the United States in general and the
American-Mexican commission in par
ticular.

showing how the inequalities in the
technical resources for warfare as be-
tween the allies and the central pow

Germany is feeling that her COM

the hour of retribution for all her
wrongdoings and violations of the
moral law. AS in the time of her
strength she declared war, so now,
feeling her weakness, she suddenly Of

Arguing that the allies are entitled
to choose a favorable hour for peace
negotiations, just as Germany chose
a favorable hour for declaring war,
the order says:
This time has not yet arrived. The
enemy has not been driven out of the
provinces he has occupied. Russia's
attainment of the tasks created by the
war-regarding ConstantinopIe and
the Dardanelles as we'll as the creation
of a free Poland from all three of her
now incomplete tribal districts-has

1916 AUTO TAGS
GOOD TO JAN. Is
Owing to Nondelivery by Con-
vict Manufacturers State Ex-
tends the Period

Pennsylvania's 1915 automobile liz
January Is. 1917.
State Highway Commissioner Black
to-day issued a statement to the police
authorities of the various cities in the
State that owing to the nondelivery of
license plates by the Prison Labor
Commission, which has the contract
for their manufacture, it would be
impossible to send out 1917 plates
from this date onward as rapidly as
the applications We're received.
A statement issued says: THE con-
tract with the Prison Labor Commits
sion called for the delivery of the
automobile license plates not later
than November 1, of 1916. Owing
to unforeseen contingencies the Prison
Labor Commission was unable to de-
liver according to the terms of the
contract and, at the present time, the
Huntingdon Reformatory, where the
tags are being made, is limited to
$500 sets of license plates a day. APP
plications received at the Automobile
Division of TIE Department far exceed
TINS number daily and the entire re-
serve supply previously delivered has
been exhausted. 1t was for this rea-
son that State Highway Commissioner
DitCh IO-udy issued Ine nOtlC0 SuS-
pending the operations of the Auto
mobile Law insofar as it deals with
the use of 1916 license plates until
January Is.
The issuance of this statement by
the State Highway Commissioner will
not, it is hoped, diminish the number
of applications for tags, as it is parti-
cularly desired that all owners who
have not heretofore applied shall send
in their application fees at once so
that the orders may be filled as soon
as the tags are received from the
Prison Labor Commission"
AT the close of business on Decem-
Der 27, the total amount received for
1917 motor vehicle licenses was $780,
422.OO. On Wednesday, December 81,
all records were broken in the amount
of money received, the net amount
being $97,501.00. Thursdays business,
Willie not tabulated, as yet, will prob
ably equal if not exceed this amount.

HIGH HEELS PUT
CORNS ON TOES
Tells women how to dry up a
corn so it lifts out
without pain.

Modern high footwear
buckles the toes and produces corns,
and many of the thousands of hos
pital cases of infection and lockjaw
are the result of woman's suicidal
habit of trying to cut away these
painful pests.
For little cost there can be obtain
ed at any pharmacy a quarter of an
ounce of a drug called freezone, which
is sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus without
the slightest danger or inconvenience.
A few drops applied directly upon
the tender, aching corn stops the sore
ness and shortly the entire corn, root
and all, lifts right out. 1t is a sticky
substance, which dries the moment it
is applied, and thousands of men and
women use it because the corn shriv-
els up and comes out without inflam-
ing or even irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin. Cut this out and
try it If your corns bother you.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-28

Judge Sharpe of the city court will be called upon to decide at the conclusion of the oral arguments that begin this morning before him on whether the city of Birmingham has the right to pay the interest on the bonds it legally is- sues from the special sinking fund cre- ated by the state constitution and wheth- CT it will continue to levy in the future the special tax of one-half of 1 per cept in addition to the regular tax.
 The above is the principal point at is- sue in the injunction suits filed by T. C. Mcdonald on June s, the day following the authorization of $3,000,0 in bonds by the electorate.
 One of the injunction suits filed by Me- Donald is directed specifically against the $5O0,0O0 bond issue to erect municipal electric plant. The points in that com plaint are that the city has no right to issue bonds to build power plant under the constitution and that the captions on the ballots were not sufficiently en- Tightening to the voters. This particular complaint of MT. Mcdonald is regarded by the city commission the weakest ar gument offered. It is on the question of whether the special sinking fund has been legally or illegally utilized that the city commission is making it's principal fight. That is also the question that will bear
