Man WITH
CHRONIC COUGH
Tells How Vinol Stopped Il
and Built Him Up.

Jackson, MIST am a carpenter,
and the grippe left me with chronic
cough, rundown, worn-out and weak.
! took all kinds of cough syrups with
out help. I read about Vinol and de-
cided to try it. Before I had taken a
bottle I felt better, and after taking
two bottles my cough is entirely
cured, and have gained new vim
and energy."-John L. Dennis.
Vinol is a delicious combination of
beef and cod liver peptones, iron and
manganese peptonates, and glycero-
phosphates, guaranteed to overcome
all rundown, weak, devitalized con-
ditions and for chronic coughs, colds
and bronchitis.
We will return your money If Vinol
fails to benefit you.

the three suffragist officers who put on
their nighties and marched out on the

they were in their own steamheated

These three brave women were Miss
Alice Paul, chairman of the Congress

Morey, treasurer for the Massachusetts
Suffrage Association.
Due to the lack OF accommodations at
local hotels and the overcrowded condi-

 Birmingham and Jefferson county were asked to raise $75,000 for the Y. M. c. A war camp work, and has exceeded that amount by S17,594.S1, an over subscription of 23 per cent.

 Company Will Arrive on Special Train

It has been stated that extra effort will be made by every theatre. not only in Birmingham, but in the whole coun- try, to secure a better production for that date than the regular run if pos sible.
 Manager Dauglass has only been waiting for the train connections to be announced berore making this an nouncement of the stupendous display of patriotism and loyalty on the part of the nations entertainers, as the date for the donation was set some days ago.
 It is anticipated by the management of the Jefferson theatre that an over- flow audience will be present for the matinee December '. when Charles D1- lingham's masterpiece. Chin Chin" will be produced. It is q matter of record that when Charles Dillingham; offers play to the public that it is the cream of the playwrights art. This particu- lar play has enjoyed an almost unpre- cedented run, and has found popular approval wherever produced. Much specula tion was made as to the future of "Chin Chin" at the time of the death last spring of David Montgomery, danc- ing partner of Fred Stone, the duo be- ing the leading singing and dancing comedians in the production. Doyle and Dixon, who have supplanted them have achieved remarkable success in this role and one will scarcely miss the old performers.

DEARBORN NAMES
 ASSOCIATES TO AID INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
Jefferson County to Raise Fifteen Thousand Dollars and Remainder of the State Thirty-Fiye
 Thousand Dollars

Chairman A. R. Dearborn has named his associates to serve on the com mittee to put the question of help for Alabama Girls Industrial school be- fore the people of the state in the hope of securing adequate aid for that institution. The committee is com posed of A. R. Dearborn, chairman; II. IT.. Shell, J. I. McCants, o. H. Mar tinson and F. E. Butler.
 The plan of the committee is to place the situation before the state public and to ask the people of lief ferson county to give as their part of the amount for the work s15,O00 and the people outside of Jefferson county in the estate will be asked to give $35,0G0, which. added to the $50,- 900 appropriated by the state, will make s100,000 to carry on the work. This will be only about $500 from each county outside of Jefferson and Mir. Dearborn thinks no trouble will be experienced in obtaining this amount once the public is awakened to the condition of affairs.
 The present condition of the school is quite deplorable, 65 girls being housed in seven small rooms and no room for amusements or other home activities for the girls.
