WILL NOT INCREASE RATES IN ALABAMA
 WITHOUT A HEARING
Public Service Commission, in Letter to Director McAdoo, Sets Out
 Its Policy

Montgomery, November 4-(Special) After setting out it's policy in the past to cooperate with the railway admin istration in all war measures. the Ala bama public service commission, through Samuel P. Kennedy, president, Monday notified the director general of railroads it cannot without thorough investiga- tion, make any suggestions regarding the proposed drastic increases in freight rates in Alabama. Director General Nc Adoo was informed, in letter from President Kennedy: This commission is clearly of the opinion that it is its function and it's duty to regulate such rates after thorough hearing"
 The refusal of the commission to ap- prove certain freight rate classificahons, as promulgated by Director McAdoo, is believed to be the beginning of case that will test the powers of the various public utilities commissions in the United States.
 MT. McAdoo sent to the commission several days ago two proposed classifi- cations, the adoption of which would mean an increase of approximately IVu per cent in the freight rates.
 If the commission is correct In US view that you are seeking to establish a permanent scale of rates in this ter ritory, then this commission would not acuuiesce therein without full and for mai hearing" said the commission's let ter.
 President Kennedy's letter Is in part as follows:
 If the commission clearly under stands your favor above referred to- 1t Is that now you have reached the

lconclusion that certain permanent meth ods of rate making should be estab- lished throughout the states. If the commission Is correct in It's conclusions it Is clearly of the opinion that such radical changes as you have suggested would first require the most careful in- vestigation and that, in so far as it re- lates to state rates. or, in other words, rates between points within the state, this commission is clearly of the opin- ion that 1t is its function and it's duty to regulate such rates after thor ough hearings.
 .Tn this connection the commission would say that on the first of the year, towit, on January Is, 1t took up pe- tition of the various carriers operating in this state. asking for a uniform classification and for a uniform scale of rates that they proposed establish ing on intrastate traffic throughout the southern territory. After hearing covering a period of months and after the introduction of testimony covering more than 5000 pages. and after the submission of briefs by the various attorneys of the railways, the case was withdrawn by petitioners attorneys In the following manner.
 "'The issuance of the director gen erals order No, 2S in execution of the power to initiate rates given the Presi- dent by the act of March 21, 1918. so completely changes the situation as really to dispose of the above mentioned case, and therefore, under instructions from and on behalf of those for whom we appear before your honorable body, we wish to withdraw the petition, as we understand that there is no further action that can or should be taken
 "If the position taken in withdraw ing this case is correct then it is obvi- ous that approval or disapproval by this commission of proposed changes that you suggest is of no effect; while if it be true that this commission still retains Jurisdiction over It's state rates lit has heard a similar case involving these questions with a great deal of painstaking and was ready to render a decision when it was taken off it's docket, as above set out.
 '1f the commission is correct in it's view that you are seeking to establish a permanent scale of rates in this ter ritory, then this commission would not acquiesce therein without full and formal hearing on the matter"

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
 DOCTORS FIND REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are elated over the fact that they have at last found a genuine and dependable reme- dy for colds, sore throat. influenza and la grippe. For years they have depend- ed chiefly upon the old style calomel. which Is certainly fine, but unfortu-- nately many people would not take it because of it's nauseating and danger ous qualities.
 Now that the pharmaceutical chemists have perfected nausealess calomel, called "Calotabs'' whose virtures are vastly improved, the doctors and drug gists are claiming that calotabs are the ideal remedy to abort a cold over night and cut short an attack of sore throat or la grippe. They are also finding 1t most effective as the first step in the treatment of pneumonia.
 One calotab on the tongue at bed time with a swallow of water-that's 8 all No salts, no nausea nor the slight est interference with your eating or your work and pleasure. The next morn- ina your cold has vanished and your whole system Is purified and refreshed. Calotabs are sold only in original seal ed packages; price thirty-five cents.

With Germany's allies vanquished and forced to accept terms for n cessation of hostiIItIes against them tantamount to abject surrender, the die is now to be cast In front of the Hohenzollern dynasty.
 The interallied conference, sitting in Versailles, has drawn up the terms under which Germany may have peace and the indications arc that these terms will be no less hard than those imposed upon Aus tria- Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey. Forsaken by all her allies, Ger many, the power that hoped to be able to dominate the world by force, is now at the threshold of acknowledging defeat by eapitula- tion or continuing a struggle which means her ultimate utter defent.
 The terms accepted by Austria- Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey have shorn all these states of power. Those imposed upon Germany sure- ly will be no less severe In rem dering that country pOwerless to re- sume hostilities even fin the far distant future.
 Meanwhile, pending the presenta- ton of the dictum of the allies, the German armies in Belgium and France are the only ones left of the TeutOnic allied group which are under attack And they are be- ing sOrely tried. In the Italian theatre the Austro-Hungarian ut- teriy crushed, having lost thousands of men killed and 3G0,OO0 taken prisoner, are standing bewildered before the victorious Italians, French, British, American and CzechO-SlOvak armies.
 Respite from further punishment was given them Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Northern Italy again is Italian, and Trent, Triest and other places which the Italians al- ways have claimed as their own, are dominated by the Italians and fly the trt-cOlOr of the kingdom.

Jefferson-"So Long, Lefty"


 The familiar theme of husbands and wives who think they are unsuited to each other. but discover that quite the opposite is true, after a trial exchange of partners-arranged with some regard for propriety, however-has been cleverly incorporated into a farce comedy with music, entitled, "So Long, Letty.' The piece was presented at the Jefferson the atre last night for the first time in Birmingham, with a cast which seemed made to measure. Each one admirably fitted the role assigned.
 The book of 50 Long, Letty," was written by Oliver Morosco, a well-known figure In the theatrical world, and Elmer Harris, son of Uncle Remus,' who en- joys personal acquaintance in Birming ham, Earl Carroll wrote the music and lyrics, both of which reveal his practiced hand MT. Carroll is an indefatigable worker in the musical comedy field and is usually successful one. He has pro- vided tuneful music and 8 bright score.
 Miss Charlotte Greenwood, the star, is a newcomer to Birmingham, but she won instant favor by her methods of comedy. She is a unique comedienne, who uses an elongated figure, which appears to be chiefly arms and legs, to great ad-

Summary Of the News From AM War Fronts and Capitals
(By the Associated Press.)


 few days more doubtless will zee the remainder of the struggling Austro- ro-Hungnrians making their way out of the western part of the kingdom across the Save river Into their own territory. As for Bull garia and Turkey, they no more are menacing.
 Over n front of 30 miles in north western France, Field Marshal Haig's armies have delivered mighty blow against the Germans, and torn into their positions over wide fronts, capturing important strategic points of the enemy line and taking more than 10,0OO pris- Oners. Of particuInr value in the general plan of driving the Ger mans out of the invaded region was an advance of more than three miles across the Sambre, which leaves Field Marshal Haig's men set upon good ground for a further dash eastward.
 Meanwhile, the French and Amer jeans on the southern part of the line are keeping up their intensive operations in the great cOnyerginE movement which, If It's progress continues. is likely to end the bat tie before the Germans are able to reach their border.
 Particularly notable have been the new gains of the Americans west of the Mouse over their en- tire front. Opposite Stenay, in the Mouse valley, they have an excel lent footing for further progress up the river toward the important German lines of communication in the north. In the center the American lines now stand IF miles south of Sedan. In the latest opera ttons large numbers of additional Germans have been made prisoner and many villages have been lib- erated. The AngiO-American guns now are dominating the ThfOnviile-i Montmedy-M y-Mezieres-Hirsonr NJ railway, the cutting of which will rob the Germans of their main line of com municatfOn from the south and place in jeopardy the large number of enemy troops inside the big sack.

It IS impossible for anyone with an acid-stomacn to be we'll and strong. Because acid-stomach, sour stomach as most people call it-a condition tnaI doctors name superacidity-is due to excess acio which is absolutely harmful. Everyone knows acid-mouth ruins the teeth and gums and although you cannot taste this acid, still it is strong enough to eat away the harder than-bone enamel on the teeth, and cause them to decay.
 What then, must be the action of too much acld upon the delicate organization of the stomach Surely you must realize that such condition, II not corrected will weaken and undermine one health. But have you really any ldea or the great number of ailments that are directly traceaple to acid-stomach? Few people have. When they are bilious, have severe headache, or an attack of indigestion, rheumatism, lumbago or sclatica; ; or when they begin to feel run down and are ner- vous and mentally depressed; or have dizzy spells vertigo and pains around the heartIhtsle oo .hey think it may have it's origin in an acid-stomach.
 And then there are thousands-yes, mions-of people who, without having any well deinea @ all acty what is the matter with them. All they can tell you is that they "dOnt feel right are all III, tired, sckly" And just to look at them you know they are telling the truth.
 How can they ''feel right when the chances they are always secreting excess acid that Is slowly but surely, day by day, making dlgestlon more and more difficult, causing food to sour and ferment in the intestinal tract, filling ther sys- cid-superacidity-does It prevents one from getting full strength out of his food.
 Is it any wonder then, that there are so many people who, while not downright sick, show plainly but well? They are Respondent, weak, listless, un. fit Aches and pains in practically every part of the body Lacking in physical strength and mental vgor Little noincnation to be up and dolng.

Maude Adams Tomorrow

An adaptation Of MaXfield Parrish's painting, The Brazen Boatman," forms the basis of the setting of the dream ball scene of Maude Adams pro- duction of Barrie's new play. "A Kiss for Cinderella" When Miss Adams read the manuscript of the play IL oc- cured to her that MT. Parrish's pains- ing would furnish an ideal setting for the dream scene. So she wrote to the artist asking if he would sell her the rights to adapt the painting for stage uses To this MT. Parrish replied that all the money In the world could not purchase the picture, but that if Miss Adams would honor him by making use of 1t, she could have it with the great est of pleasure on his part for noth- ing. The scene as shown is all white and gold Even the foliage on the trees in the background Is all white
 It was Miss Adams idea to have the scene represent as far as possible q child's idea of the gates of heaven. This is the first time the stage has made use of any of the paintings by MT. Parrish, who is considered one or the foremost colorists in the country.
