DANGER SIGNAL.

II the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? It is much the
same way with a cough. A cough
is danger signal as much as a fire
bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop a fire bell
when it is ringing, but should cure
the disease that causes the coughing.
This can nearly always be done by
taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Many have used it with the most
beneficial results. It is especially
valuable for persistent coughs that
so often follows a bad cold or an at
tack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching. Andrews, Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband
takes cold easily and coughs and
coughs. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is the best medicine for beraking
up these attacks and you cannot
get him to take any other" OBJ

Auto-|ntoxication
Causes Death

Do you know why you have sick
headache, diabetes, neuralgia, rheu-
matism and liver or kidney troubles?
It's because you are being poisoned
by products Of your own body. Your
organs Of elimination are not work
ing properly. Waste material that
should be thrown out is being retained
to poison and intoxicate your system.
That could not happen if the bowels
were kept open with Granger Liver
Regulator. This splendid preparation
is purely vegetable and non-alcoholic.
Demand Granger Liver Regulator at
your drug store-25c box-and take
no other: There is nothing "just a.

ALABAMA BRIGADE
 WILL NOT ASSEMBLE
 BEFORE JULY 10TH
It Is Thought Camp Will Not Be Ready for Com mand Before that Time.
 Work Rushed

Montgomery, June 24.-(Special) )-If camp quarters can be arranged by the extension of the mobilization the First regiment will not remain in Mobile and the Second regiment in Birmingham after July 4. General Robert E. Steiner Sun day afternoon stated that it is necessary for the troops to assemble as soon as possible in order to begin a course of training
 However there is little indication that the grounds can be arranged. The ex- tension proposed which provides for the purchase of growing crops near the present grounds has not been completed and will not be until next week. The work of clearing the grounds will con- sume several days, and it is improbable that the brigade will be ready for train ing until July 10 A safe bet would be that the first will remain in Mobile and the Second in Birmingham until after July 4. If they do, they will take part in patriotic celebrations Officers are convinced that intensive training should be started as soon as possible believing the brigade will be one of the first in France because it has been in the serv ice one year and has more men than any other National Guard regiment now equipped and trained for active duty.
 Formal guard mount and band concerts were held Sunday afternoon for the time in many months. The troops have been on guard duty, but now the Fourth regi- ment is assembled here and prepared for hard training.

Gerrnar1 Bomb Plots
 Are Discovered in
 City Of Christiania

London, June 24-The seizure of a quantity of explosives which had just reached Christiania Norway, from Ger many and the arrest of three foreigners has been officially confirmed according to a Copenhagen dispatch to the EX- change Telegraph company. The police are continuing the Investigating and when the details are known another of ficial communication, it is announced, will be issued.
 The Tidens Tegn says that 1000 kilo- grams of explosives were seized, including a number of internal machines. One of the men arrested is Aaron Rautenfels, a German citizen, born in Finland, who de- clared that the bombs were intended for use in Finland. According to the news paper, however, the internal machines. which were enclosed in eases resembling Jumps of coal, were to have been put aboard Norweighian ships in the coal bunkers. It adds that the discovery of many Norwegian vessels that were sup posed to have been mined or torpedoed.
 LEADER OF PLOT
 Christiania dispatches received here say that the leader of those arrested calls himself Baron von Rautenfels. His identity has not yet been established, but it is doubted whether he really is baron.
 The dispatches add that the mans bag gage contained among other things 50 bombs loaded with high explosives and a quantity of cigarettes and tobacco in which were concealed carborundum, ap-

ROSENBAUM HELD
 FOR INVESTIGATION
Rooms Searched But No Incriminat-
 ing Evidence Was Found

Instructions have been issued by mem- bers of the department of justice In Birmingham to the wardens of the city Jail not to allow attorneys, newspaper men or others the privilege of talking to F. o. Rosenbaum, a German, who was arrested yesterday afternoon on a charge of violating the proclamation of the President of the United States of America"
 Rosenbaum was arrested shortly after New Orleans officers took in charge a man named DeLorme and L. J. Hirsch, Germans, who also are charged with be- ing members of the gang of spies.
 DeLorme was an advertising solicitor in Birmingham before going to New Or leans, while Hirsch sold flags on the streets here and other places in the state. Rosenbaum's room at Fourteenth ave- nue and Twenty-fourth street, south, was searched, but nothing of an incriminat- ing nature was found.

Italian Mission May
 Lengthen Its Stay

New York, June 24-The Italian mis- sion, headed by the Prince of Udine, may lengthen it's stay in this country to include a tour of California and other states in the far west, it was announced tonight at the close of a round of social engagements that in- cluded a courtesy visit to Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster Bay
