NO MEATLESS DAYS
FOR TRAVELLING MEN,;
DEMAND FULL MEALS

Minneapolis, Aug. 6.-Minneap-
oils hotel men have about-faced on
the meatless day. For the future
maybe-but for the present, menus
in this city will continue to herald
the advisability of boeuf au jus,
chicken a la King, spring lamb with
it's attendant sauces, and all the
other viands which bloom just below
the noodle soup on the hostelry
menus.
This decision follows the enthusi-
astic proposal of the hotel men a
fortnight ago, when they announced
the future would see guests supping
on spinach and fish thereafter on
Tuesdays and Fridays. The various
arrangements have unanimously re-
ported that fat travelling men roared
like wounded lions at the suggestion
and that it couldn't be done.

CIVIC CAMPAIGN
 FOR COLLEGESH HAS BEEN POSTPONED
Financial Representatives of Institutions Issues State ment Regarding Pro-
 posed Campaign

In a joint statement issued by w. H. Smith, secretary of Howard college, and J. B. Cumming, financial secretary of Birmingham college, the Baptist and Methodist colleges, respectively, to- cated in Birmingham, it is made public that the directors and financial repre- sentatives of these two well known institutions are united in the opinion that the proposed campaign for funds which was to have been launched in May to raise s20o.000 for the colleges, should not be waged at that time, due to the declaration of war, which has caused business conditions to become somewhat muddled.
 The representatives of these two in- stitutions are very grateful for the support that had been given the plan, and though the movement had gath cred splendid momentum, it is not con- sidered wise to press the matter at this time. The statement issued yesteT- day by the two colleges is as follows:
 "As is well known to the community. the Chamber of Commerce has for sometime been working on a civic campaign to raise Tn May at least $200, 900 for Birmingham and Howard colleges. The directors had gone so far as to appoint a committee to fnvesti- gate the advisability of the campaign; this committee had made strong favorable report and 1t had been adopt ed by the directors.
 But since the declaration of war business conditions are so unsettled that, all the circumstances considered both the directors and the financial representatives of the two colleges are agreed that it would not be wisest to undertake a general campaign at the time specified, i. e. during the month of May next.
 We. as the financial representatives of Birmingham and Howard colleges, desire to express for ourselves and these institutions. our grateful appre- citation of the encouragement given this movement by The Age Herald. the kindly utterances of a number of our representative citizens, and the strong indorsement given it by the Chamber of Commerce, the Birmingham Civic association and other organizations of the city. w.
