TWO CONCERT PLAN DECIDED SUCCESS AGAIN YESTERDAY Howard Glee Club Appears. Bowie Discusses AuditO-

The plan of repeating the community concert given at the Bijou every Sunday afternoon, inaugurated by Director Rob- ert Lawrence a week ago yesterday, for the purpose of accommodating the over flow crowd, is proving a marked success

 bond issue of $500,000 to provide
 combination building for an auditorium
 and city hall. This proposition was car
 red, like all the others, by an over
 whelming majority. MT. Bowie then ex-
 plained how a citizen came into court and obtained an injunction, restraining the city from proceeding because it was it's purpose to pay the interest on the
 bonds out of the sinking fund. MT. Bowie. in contending strongly for an auditorium, said the people of Bir- mingham would back up the present city commission in it's desire to build an ade- quate auditorium. It was the commis- sion's duty, the speaker held, to find the money to pay interest on whatever amount of bonds might be necessary to build what Birmingham so much needed MT. Bowie spoke with his accustomed earnestness, and his optimism caused great outbursts of applause. At the second concert an additional singing feature was the appearance of a colored male quartet in the gallery. which provoked much applause. Director Lawrence announced that next Sunday would be national community sing day. All organized communities will sing the same songs, in accordance with programme arranged at head l quarters

Ugly Brothers Minstrels

Ugly Brothers Minstrels, which will give two performances at the Jefferson theatre December Il, matinee and 'ght, for the benefit of the Anti-Tube ~uiosis association, will be all dolled up for the occasion, Elaborate uniforms and equip ment that would do credit to big pro?- fessional troupes have been purchased by the organization.
 The show is being staged to help keep the Anti-Tuberculosis camp on Red mountain in operation. It is for such a worthy cause that the people of Bir- mngham are getting behind the ticket selling campaign, and they are being pur- chased at such a rapid rate that the original plan to stage one performance has been abandoned and decision made to give matinee performance as well as one at night.
 One of the main features of the show is the double quartet chorus, made up of some of the finest voices in Birming- ham, This chorus helps out the soloists on all the ballads

was filled to capacity at the o'clock performance and half filled when the sec ond performance began at 4:30 o'clock
 Yesterday the two audiences totaled ac-
 cording to a conservative estimate, about 3700. At 5, o'clock all the seats were oc- cupied, and at the second concert the lower floor was filled. several hundred
 sat in the balcony and a goodly number
 in the top gallery.
 Now that the plan is well understood,
 MT, Lawrence thinks that two packed
 houses are assured for all future com
 munity concerts.
 Yesterdays programme was varied and
 pleasing throughout. The Philharmonic
 orchestra, Philip Memoli. conductor, gave
 a fine rendition of the overture to
 'Stradella.' Other numbers were well
 played and heartily applauded. Under the caption of Student Num-
 Der" Miss Ethelyn Hayes, soprano, sang, "Life's Paradise and was cordially re- ceived. Miss Abigail Crawford was her accompanist.
 The Howard Glee club, in a group of
 three songs, made decided hit, notwith- standing the fact that all the first tenors were missing; such hit. indeed, as to force an encore. MT. Lawrence was at the conductors desk and Miss Fannie May Pointer was at the piano. The only song for everybody" be- sides the doxology and the regulation pa triotic numbers was "Old Black Joe" At the first performance Hugh A.
 Locke. one of President Wilson's four

 1 One of the most interesting and popu- lar features of the programme was Syd- ney J. Bowie's 10-minute address on Our Auditorium" delivered at both perform l ances. The speaker began by reviewing briefly the auditorium movement. He told first of the advisory vote which by a sweeping majority made it clear that the people wanted the city to provide a suitable place for large public gather ings; then of second vote, which called for a $2C0, coo bond issue.
 After that proposition had been rati-

Vienna Newspaper Invites
 England to Consider Peace

Amsterdam. December 2.-The Vii enna Neue Freie Presse invites Eng land to consider whether it is not possible to open peace pourparlers. It considers that such an invitation should properly come from Austria, because the dissensions between Eng land and Germany dating from the death of Queen Victoria, do not di rectly affect Austria.
 The paper argues that a war of de- struction has already been rejected by Lansdowne and probably by Asquitf, and that it becomes impossible on the day Russia and Germany agree upon peace.

At Loew's Biiou

There never will be better show of fered at any local vaudeville house for the money than the one the people of Birmingham are going to have an oppor- tunity to see at Loews Bijou this week. This is the best all-around bill ever pre- scented in Birmingham. The photo play, .'The Babes in the Woods" is a master film that will please grandfather or grandmother just as much as it will the kiddies that they take to see the show. It is good for the children from to 50 years of age
 Loew patrons will greatly enjoy the work of Frank Terry. author, actor and impersonator. when he presents his mas terpiece, "Mr. Booze,' Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday,. This act is worth the admission, but there are four other strong Loew acts. and the current events and comedy pictures

Why Rheumatism Comes
with Cold Weather
(By Valentine Mott Pierce, NJ. d.

| 10y Ndituhluc Null IieICt, III
A close connection exists between these
two-cold weather and rheumatism. Prof
Alex. Haig of London has the most fol-
lowers in the medical profession in the
belief that the presence in the system
of uric acid, or its salts in excess, is the
real cause OF rheumatism. Everyone has
recognized the difference in the appear
ance of their water as soon as IL gets
cold; there is often eopious sediment
of "brickdust."
Several causes may lead up to an sc-
emulation OF uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, cause rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid. by
rrofuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason is
that people do not drink as much water
in cold weather as in summer, which
helps to flush the kidneys. Again, they
eat more meat in cold weather, and some
people are so susceptible that they soon
develop rheumatism after eating meat
At all such times persons should drink
copiously of hot water, say, a pint morn
ing and night, and take Anurie double
strength three or four times a day.
This Anuric comes in tablet form and
can be had at almost any drug store. II
dissolves the uric acid in the system and
carries it outward. | would advise ev-
eryone to take Anuric occasionally, and
continue for three or four weeks. and in
that way avoid rheumatism, govt and
many of the painful disorders due to
uric acid in the system.
