PLANS ON FOOT TO
 PAY OFF" TEACHERS
 BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Plans are now under consideration whereby the many teachers in the Birmingham schools will receive a sal ary check immediately before the clos ing of the schools for the holidays.
 No official action in regard to the matter has yet been taken" said pr. J. H. Phillips in speaking of the mat ter last night, "but it is customary to make this payment and I suppose that it will be done this year as in the past.'
 By making this payment the city will be conferring a great favor upon the teachers, as it will be made at the very time of year that everyone is looking for little extra money with which to enjoy their holidays. Over 1000 teachers will be affected and many thousands of dollars will be brought into circulation in the city.

 lessor for fifteen years in the New

 geOn of Chicago; Dr. Ferdinand King. New York Physician and Medical Au- thor; Dr. H. B. Vail, formerly Physician fin the Baltimore Hospital and Ned Teal Examiner; Former Health Com missioner Wm. R. Kerr, and others give valuable advice and information on the of organic iron as a tonic strength and blood builder.
 Careful investigation by physicians among drug gists and patients has revealed the fact that there are thousands of people taking iron who do not distinguish between organic iron and metallic iron and that such often fail to obtain the vital energy. strength and endurance which they seek. simply because they have taken the wrong form of iron. They seem to think iron is iron on the theory that potato would be potato whether cooked or raw. entirely ignoring the fact that the cooking process makes certain important cellular changes in the potato that renders it far more easy of assimilation by the blood and tissues No would hardly expect derive the same strength from eating potatoes that he would from eating cooked potatoes yet according ( ,s shs opinions of physicians who have made a pared. metallic iron is good deal like eating potatoes
 Therefore physicians advise those who feel the need of strength and blood builder to go their family doctors and obtain prescription calling for organic ron-Nuxated Iron-and present this 10 their druggist that there may be question about obtaining the proper article. But If they dc not wish to go to the trouble of getting q prescription for Nuxated Iron. then be look the label and that the words NJTXATED IRON are printed thereon Not Nux and Iron any other form of iron. but NUXATEp IRON.
 Tho remarkable results produced by Nuxated Iron and its widespread sale Git being estimated that three million people annually are today using itl has led to the offering of numerous substitutes and physicians say that health officials and doe tors everywhere should caution the public against accepting these substitutes. which may be nothing

 Dr. Alfonso Costa, former premier and minister of finance, has framed pro visional government, including Dr. sido nio Paes, formerly Portuguese minister l to Germany. It is reported that all IS quiet in Lisbon and Oporto.
 Recent dispatches 'cabled from Lon don to the United States have said that telegraphic communication between Spain and Portugal had been shut of' it being intimated that news or the situation in Portugal was being rigid ly censored by the authorities of the republic.
 In September last a general strike of workmen resulted in rioting at Lis

 orders the entire republic was de- clared to be in a state of siege. SeV- eral persons, including a number Of
 soldiers, at that time were said to have

 bombs. The strike lasted two weeks.

Anarchist agitators, taking advantage of the situation, organized disturbances in various parts of Lis bon and the crowds attacked the bakeries, groceries and provision stores. They shattered the iron doors and steel shuttered windows and sacked numerous places, among them one of the large establishments in the center of the capital.
 Martial law was proclaimed and the military government by taking ener- getic measures, restored order. Twenty seven persons were killed in the riot ing. Hundreds of persons were arrested and taken on board Portuguese war ships in the harbor. While the dis
 turbances were in progress the Amer ican flag was raised above the build ings of an establishment at Poco Do Bispo and the place was respected by the rioters.

FOOT OF SNOW FALLS
 BIT WEATHER CLEARS

More than foot of snow fell last night Today the storm passed and the weather was clear and cold. Street cars were stalled in the drifts during the night but today the service had been partly restored. The day also saw the j lighting system renewed in part, and after darkness fell, the city looked a little less black and forbidding. For- tunately the telephone service is good, but there is a sori1bre significance in the report of so many "dead" num- bers.
 The water supply is causing the most concern. Emergency repairs are being made as fast as it is humanly possible but the system was still seriously de- ranged this evening.
 The property loss variously estimated at from $20,0O0,O00 to $50, ,OO0, 900, probably will prove to be nearer the minimum fig ure. The relief committees have asked for s3o,o0o,00O, which they estimate will
