Norton, as a worker for the French Y.
M C. A., will receive a commission in
the French army as an officer.
The call to the colors was the only
thing that could cause him to relinquish
his active work for Birmingham col

at heart, and will watch for news of
their victories this fall on the gridiron
from my post in France" said Ed.
birmingham college has a wealth of

DOCTORS SAY COLDS
 ARE CONTAGIOUS
Specialists Declare Germs of Common Colds Scat tered by Sufferers IT
 Real Danger

Doctors have recently declared posi-
 lively that our common colds are really just as t.contagious'' as pneu- smonia or scarlet fever and that suffer- CTS from colds should be isolated as carefully as victims of the latter dis cases They say that in sneezing the victim of cold scatters millions of gcrms into the air which all of us breathe and when these germs lodge In the noee or throat of anyone who Is weakened or run down they nnd another victim and another cold is started. It is important, therefore. to keep yourself built up by using Fa- ther John's Medicine which is pure and wholesome body builder. and you will be able to ward or this danger because the cold germs cannot live in the nose or throat of a person In normal health. Remember too that Father John's Medicine trA1ts colds and throat troubles without the use of alcohol or dangerous drugs 10 it is a safe family medicine. fine for the chill dren as well as older folks.

FISHING TRADE HARD HIT.
Many ships Tied Up at Boston and

Boston, March 12.-The fishing trade out of Boston and Gloucester. ranked as the two largest fish centers of this country, is facing stagnation in the middle of the Lenten season. The strike of members of the New England Coast F1shermen's union called three weeks ago. today found forty vessels tied up at these piers. with no prospects of an immediate settlement in sight.
 Union leaders asserted half dog en vessels were on the fishing grounds or on the way back. With the land fng of their catches, it was said, only four vessels the owners of which have settled with the union. would be en- gagged in the fisheries out of these ports.
 There has been no considerable shortage in the supply of fish thus far, according to fishermen, because returning vessels landed cargo in every instance before the men walked out.
