THAT MORNING LAMENESS

If you are lame every morn
ing, and suffer urinary ills,
there must be a cause. Often it
is weak kidneys. To strengthen
the weakened kidneys and avert
more serious troubles, use
Doan's Kidney Pills. You can
rely on this testimony.
Mrs. L. w. Dickey, w. Arch
ST., Searcy, Ark, says: "My
back ached all the time and if
| lay down for awhile, I could
hardly get up. 1t hurt me to
stoop over and when I got up
mornings, | was stiff and lame
and didn't feel the least bit
rested. My feet and ankles
swelled badly and I had rheu-
matte pains in my limbs. One
box of Doan's Kidney Pills re-
lieved all these symptoms of
kidney trouble and my back
has been much stronger SINCE"

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen tender corn
or caIlus so it lifts out
WITHOUT pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without infiaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you

The bane of old age is constipation.
The bowels become weak and unable
to perform their functions without
aid. Fer this purpose only the mild
est and gentlest laxative should be
used. The use of harsh cathartics
aggravates the trouble and makes the
constipation worse. Chamberlain's

OF CUBA
 MAY ATTACK THE
 US. BLUEJACKETS

Washington, March s.-AmeHcan ma rines and bluejackets have been landed at Santiago, recently the stronghold of the Cuban revoltuionists, and appear from latest navy department dispatches to be facing the possibility of an attack by the rebel bands waging guerilla warfare in the city's suburbs.
 The dispatches, apparently several hours behind developments, said the rebels had turned back after fleeing from the city and were doing considerable damage around the outskirts in a move ment which showed some signs of devel- oping into attack.
 Naval officials believed the insurrectos would stay out of the city proper and avoid any clash with the Americans. It was the word that the marines and blue jackets had come ashore and that Colonel Betancourt was marching up from Ha- vana, according to the navys advices, which convinced the rebel leaders that the city might become trap and precip- itated their flight.
 Although the loss of Santiago is re- garded here as marking the collapse of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-03-10

the revolution. it is realized that con- tinuation of the guerrilla campaign in outlying sections may make serious trou- ble for the government commanders. When the rebels fled they left a notifica- ton that they would continue to refuse allegiance to the Menocal administration and already they are reported to have destroyed several bridges and to have wrought havoc in the cane fields of the Santiago district.
 The heaviest fighting of the movement around Santiago developed between rebels and government troops at Palma Soriano. the navy advices said, and still was in progress today.
 About 500 marines and bluejackets land ed from the cruiser Olympia, the mine layer San Francisco and the gunboat Pe- tral, to protect American interests. The garrison at Santiago consists of only a handful of men and should the rebels at tack before the arrival of Colonel Betan- court the Americans probably would bear the brunt of the defense. Navy officials are not fearful. however. that the mea- grely equipped rebel forces could do any considerable damage in 2 clash with the landing party,

STUDENTS LISTEN ID MRS. MATHIS ON
 HOME ECONOMICS
Noted Woman Farmer, With Frank Willis Barnett of Age-Herald, Made Ad-
 dresses at MOntevallO

Montevallo, March 9.-(Special.) )-Nrs G. II. Mathis, Alabama's noted farmer and economist, accompanied by Frank Willis Barnett, associate editor of The Age-Herald, visited Montevallo today and delivered two addresses to packed houses They came at the urgent request of the faculty and student body of the Ala bana Girls Technical institute and of the organized community of the city and county.
 The first address was delivered at the institute, where 600 students and mem- bers of the faculty were present. The speech of Mrs. Mathis proved to be rev elation to the young women present, a large number of whom were already in- terested in matters of home economics and other practical questions which she discussed so ably and lucidly.
 At the meeting in the town several hundred people were present, large number of them being farmers who had come from miles in the country in order to hear Mrs Mathis This was considered remarkable in view of the crop conditions, the recent rains having set the farmers so far back that it was not thought they could be induced to leave off blowing now even for a day.
 The address of Mrs. Mathis was pro- nounced by the members of the audience to have been the most helpful and prac- tical ever delivered in Montevallo and improved agricultural conditions in this section are expected to result from her dissem;na ton of information The thanks of the people of the town and the or ganized community were extended to The Age-Herald for arranging with Mrs. Mathis to deliver the addresses here.
 MT. Barnett made brief talks at both of the meetings.

with a rush before the end of the first day Success of the bipartisan proposal will depend in a great measure on the in- ternational situation and gaps which may be caused in the ranks of the big parties by illness or death Neither side pro- poses to permit weeks of wearisome and useless balloting for speaker to tie up important government business.
 Despite the growing talk of coalition the five independents insist they will not ac- quiesce quietly to wishes of big party leaders. By agreement none of the in dependents will pledge himself to any one speaker until all have met here again.
 LONG TERM PREDICTED
 News of the calling of an extra session relic, ed the uncertainty of more than 100 members who have remained here since the regular session ended. Many left for home tonight Speaker Clark predicted that once Congress resumed sft- tings in April it will not adjourn until August, 1918. He thinks that organization work will be disposed of within four days and then the entire field of legislation, iocuding bills which failed at the last session and new proposals will be opened up.
 The speaker went to the White House today shortly before the proclamation was issued. He was unable to see the Pres idcnt on account of the latter's illness but talked with Secretary Tumulty and told him it was absolutely necessary that there would be some word, preferably a proc iamation that would enable members and congressional attaches generally to make their plans.
 Some of the members of the House in sular affairs committee have planned to make trip to the Philippines, others have planned to make a trip to Alaska and Hawaii and the Indian affairs com- nittec proposed to make trip of inspec- tion in the west All these plans now will have to he abandoned.

PLAN FOR
 GADSDEN MEETING
May 10 and II Selected for Gathering-Ayers to Visit
 All Papers in State

Plans to make the next meeting of most successful in the history of the organization were launched at meet ing of the executive committee held here yesterday.
 The meeting is to take place May 10 and II and Gadsden will be host to the newspaper men of the state. Harry M. Ayers, editor of the Anniston Star, president of the association, presided at the meeting yesterday, which was held at the Tutwiler.
 The committee decided to have the president write a letter to every mem- Der of the association urging the for mation of district associations for the purpose of buying paper in carload lots and thus taking advantage of the saving secured by this method. The recent announcement of the fed eral trade commission, designed to meet the high price of paper, is re- sponsible for the move.
 The committee also considered the matter of advertising rates and an effort is being made to standardize the charges in proportion to the circula- ton and pulling power of the several papers.
 One of the features of the meeting, which indicated the activity of the organization. was the announcement of President Ayers that he was going to make a tour of the state and visit every newspaper in labama prior to the annual meeting in Gadsden in an effort to secure the attendance of a representative and to get the co-opera- : tion of all publishers in the plans of the organization
 q believe that if the proper effort is made to interest the editors and pub fishers of the smaller newspapers of the state, we can get alt of them into the association" said Mir. Ayers lasr night. The papers of the state have suffered in the past due to lack of way to perfect a strong union among the publishers. I intend to present the claims of the association and urge attendance at the annual meeting upon every publisher in the state prior to the Gadsden meeting"
 Those who attended the meeting yes- terday were: Harry NJ Ayers, publisher Anniston Star A. w. McCulloch, busi- ness manager Gadsden Journal, J. c. Williams. editor Talladega Home, Frank Julian. editor Sheffield Stand
