due to E L. Harvey, publicity direc-

MAY TRAIN 300
YOUNG MEN At
A. { NJ. SCHOOL
NEAR AMER|CUS
JOHN Nj. COLLUM AND
BOARD OF TRUSTEES NOW PRE-
PAIRING TO ACCOMODATE HALF
A HUNDRED ALREADY OVER
WHELMED WITH APPLICATIONS
FOR ADMITTANCE.

Americus may get another military
establishment.
This military unity, if it is secured,
will be located at the Third District
Agricultural and Mechanical school
here, and will be conducted as a de-
partment of that institution.
There are already erected upon the
school campus buildings sufficient for
Euse as barracks by at least five hun
dred troops in training, and as it is
| the policy of the federal government
to provide for the intensive military
| training of boys of eighteen who reg
| lister under the military service act,
| it is more than probable that the
school here will be selected as one
of the secondary institutions, at
which military training will be pro
vided under government instructors.
The war department of August 28
issued a statement. an extract from
which follows:
mo units of the Students Army
Training Corps will, for the present
be established as secondary schools,
but it is hoped to provide at an early
date for the intensive military in
struction in such schools. The
secondary schools are urged to in
tensify their instruction SO that young
men II and IS years old may be
qualified to enter college as prompt as
possible" "
The Third District Agricultural &
Mechanical school at Americus was
furnished with small arms and other
equipment by the War department 10
years ago for 100 cadets, since which
time military training has been Civ
en- continuously in the school While
no absolute promise can be made, it
| is reasonably certain that within a
short time secondary schools will be
| recognized in the State of Georgia.
The authorities of this school will at
tempt at once to qualify in such a
way that it may be one of the first
of the secondary schools of the state
to be considered. 1t will be noticed
that within the few days since issuing
of information from the War de-
partment there has not elapsed time
enough to- secure definite information.
Suerintendent J. NJ Collum was
seen by representative of The Times
Recorder this morning relative to the
establishment of a training unit at
the Third District Agricultural and
Mechanical school, and he stated that
already the school authorities have
received numerous application for ad-
mission to the unit in the event of its
establishment, and that the school au-
thorities are preparing now to be
ready to receive the boys and begin
their training as soon as the war de-
partment decides to begin sucG train
ing at secondary schools.
There are in the school campus
several large, commodius and splen-
didly suited building for use as bar
racks and should the War department
designate this school as a training
point for troops, these buildings could
be made ready for such uses within

PARIS ORCHESTRA
 COMES ON OCT. 23
Booking Not Definitely Settled, But Contract Ex-
 pected to be Signed Soon

While the booking of the Paris Conserv- atory orchestra has not been definitely settled, there seems to be little doubt that contract between the management and committee composed of members of the Birmingham Music Study club, with Mrs George Houston Davis as chairman, will be signed in due time. The Birmingham date is October 23.
 An option on Loew's Bijou theatre has been obtained and only a few details re- main to be disposed of before formal announcement is made.
 The orchestra is coming to this country with the official greeting of the French republic to the people of America. It is one of the great symphonic organizations of Europe-some musicians say the great est. It carries S6 men, and by reason of it's exceptional excellence there is natur- ally an eager demand among all music lovers hereabouts for it's appearance.
 The orchestra is to be sponsored in the United States by the French high com mission. An extended tour is being ar ranged, but only 50 concerts in all will be given. The orchestra will be booked, as a matter of course, only in the larger cities.
 The southern itinerary is limited to seven cities-Richmond, Charlotte, Atlan- ta Birmingham, New Orleans, Dallas and San Antonio

It is known that a mans system changes on an average Of about every seven years. Every period from the babe in arms to the old man has it's peculiar diseases. The child has Its infantile diseases and the man ''r woman in middle life. as rule, are troubled with stomach, liver or kid ney diseases.
 In all diseases arising from derang- ed stomach, liver or kidneys Plant Juice, the new herbal system tonic, has proven it's worth. It is no ex- pertinent, but is a time-tested remedy that has received the approval of scores of local people who have ob- tained results and gladly give testi- monlals in signed statements.
 One of the most recent is that of MT. F. o. Potts. of 2410 "L" avenue. a retired business man of Ensley. who has a wide acquaintance in this sec- tion of the country. He stated: T have suffered from catarrh of ths head, nose and throat and deafness for years. I could not hear watch tick which sounded like a big storm go- ing on. I had indigestion so bad that could not keep the lightest kind of food in my stomach; my kidneys bothered me and I had terrible pains in my back and side; I was short of breath and so nervous I could not sleer at night had a hard lump in the pit of my stomach like lead. I had tried everything in the shape of medicine. but nothing did me any good until started to take Plant Juice. Now I have no more aches or pains. sleep fine and am able to en- joy all of my meals"
 Plant Juice cleanses, strengthens and revitalizes the whole system. It clears the blood of poisons and i'm purities, puts the lazy liver to work, regulates the bowels. strengthens the | kidneys and tones up the digestive organs. It sharpens the appetite and promotes sound. restful sleep.
 The Plant Juice Man is at Norton's Drug Store, corner of Second avenue and Twentieth street. where he is daily meeting the local public, and in | troducing and explaining the merits

PRICE ADVANCES EVEN GREATER THAN
 FIRST ANTICIPATED
H J. Porter, Jr., Draws Comparisons On Old and New Prices in Mems
 Wearing Apparel

T thought we had a very clear un- derstanding of the great advance in price of mems wear before we went to the market" said H. J. Porter, Jr., who has returned from New York.
 q found prices higher than I had ever dreamed and scarcity of mer- chandise, even at higher prices. As q concrete example of the advances the identical suit we formerly bought for s13.50 costs us $31.50 The line of cotton cambric nightshirts we formerly bought for $4.5O the dozen, costs now SIS. 50 the doZen
 Certain lines of white flannel trousers for instance, are not to be had at any price. Other lines formerly sold now fol spring delivery must be bought and paid for and delivered now. Labor and ma terials are too uncertain for manufac- turers to see even a few months ahead
 "The consumer must realize there is new standard of price on every ar ticle of wearing apparel. The merchant is helpless-his profits at the higher prices are less than in the old, cheap days"

MASS MEETINGS ANNOUNCED FOR
 STATE CAMPA PA|GN
Gypsy Smith and Borden Burr Will Be Principal Speakers at the
 Two Meetings

Ladies attending the Alabama state convention and those interested in the first united war work campaign will be given an opportunity to hear Gypsy Smith, Borden Burr and other speakers for the seven war camp agencies at mass meeting for ladies only to be held at the Jefferson theater next Monday afternoon at 3:So o'clock.
 This announcement was made Wednes- day afternoon by State Campaign Direc- tor w. $. Stallings, who stated at the same time that the meeting to be held Monday night at o'clock, when Gypsy Smith and Borden Burr again will be among the principal speakers, will be for men only. This arrangement as sures entirely different audiences for the two meetings and this is one of the several good reasons for adopting this course.
 w. Carson Adams, chairman of the state executive committee, says that the delegations from all over the state to attend the business sessions of the con vention to be held Monday morning and afternoon and Tuesday morning and af- ternoon will number more than 300 per sons.
 Between the morning and afternoon sessions or NOnQdy anu lutSudy tHo hSi- egates attending the convention will be given a luncheon at the Tutwiler hotel, from 1 to ? o'clock. The sessions will be resumed at 2:15 with community sing ing, led by J. H. McAfee.
 Alabamas quota of the S170,50o,oO to be raised for the Y. M c. A., Y. w. C. A., Knights of Columbus Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, Library War Council and Salvation Army will be announced at the con vention and the organization to cover every precinct of the state for this pur pose will be further perfected and put into motion.
 These seven organizations have been recognized by the government for service l with the troops and each had planned Acampaign for funds on a national basis. It became apparent that seven cam s paigns could not be conducted in the period allowed without overlapping and conflict with the fourth Liberty Loan drive. The decision of President Wilson that all of the war camp agencies should unite in one great drive during the week beginning November II has met with hearty response from all parts of the country as a wise and economical meas ure.
 The following will be in Birmingham Monday to attend the joint conference of he Y. M. c. A. campaign and have made reservation at the Tutwiler hotel: sgpsy Smith, Mrs. Josephus Daniels,

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
 CASE CONTINUED
Miss Thompson, Charged
 With Practicing Medicine
 Without License, on Trial

Is Christian Science practitioner a practitioner of medicine? That is a question that Judge Abernethy of the
 municipal court will have to answer, and in order that he may have all the light possible on the question he has 1 requested Assistant Solicitor Davis and Senator Frank s. White to furnish him with authorities
 The question arose in the trial of Miss Mary H. Thompson of Roebuck Springs who was before Judge Abernethy on a warrant sworn to by License Inspector A. P. Stephens, charging her with vio- practicing medicine. Miss Thompson,
 through her attorney, Senator White,
 pleaded not guilty. her defense being that
 she did not practice medicine o. s. Ratliff, who made the complaint that resulted in the issuance of the
 warrant, testified that his little daugh-
 ter was losing her sight and that his
 wife called in Miss Thompson to cure her, over his objections; that his wife gave Miss Thompson $21, which he had
 given her, and that when the child S eyesight got no better he demanded the return of the money. Miss Thompson refused to return the money, he stated. MT. .Ratliff testified further that some time ago he injured his foot and by an arrangement with his wife, but un- known to him, Miss Thompson prayed for it's healing. He said his foot got well, but not through any prayers to God.
 He stated that Miss Thompson told
 him medicine had no material value in healing, that only God could heal. In response to question Mir. Ratliff said
 that so far as he knew Miss Thompson
 gave his daughter no treatment other
 than prayers, and that they had done
 her no good
 Miss Thompson, testifying, said she
 prayed for the child. praying to God to
 restore her sight; that she administered
 no other treatment; that she told Mrs
 Ratliff to read the Bible.
 She did claim to be able to effect a
 cure or to prevent the child going blind,
 but she prayed for her welfare spiritually
 and otherwise
 A copy of the Christian Science Jour-
 nal was offered as evidence tending to prove that Miss Thompson practiced Christian Science.
 When all the evidence was in Judge Abernethy announced that the only question involved was one of law and that he was not prepared to say wheth- CT Miss Thompson had violated any law of the state and in order that he might be fully informed before finally pass ing upon the question, he passed the case until Saturday afternoon, when ar guments will be heard and authorities cited.

 This Afternoon

At the first meeting of the Central High school cadets, held yesterday aft ernoon at Paul Hayne school, 1Sl boys reported for military instruction, the number being divided into two com panies by Maj. Tom Akers, who is con- ducting the class again this year.
 In comparison with the first day s roll call of last year. which was re- sponded to by only 2S boys. the show ing this year makes plain the effect of the training given the boys last year and the impetus the work has received from the lowering of the draft age.

Dr. Barrett Denies Kitchens Statement
 About Birmingham

In reply to the statement Of Rep-
 resentative Claud Kitchin of North Carolina before the House, wherein ne claimed that Birmingham was one or
 the few cities in the United States
 which had opposed that feature of the
 pending revenue bill which would im-
 pose taxation on municipal bonds, pr,
 N. A. Barrett, president of the city
 commission, has given out the following
 statement, wherein he denies the state
 ment of Representative Kitchin:
 The reported statement made by
 Representative Kitchin before the
 House Tuesday, in which he stated Bir-
 mingham was among the few cities
 protesting against the pending reye-
 nue bill which would impose taxation on municipal bonds is not true to facts.
 The great majority of the cities in
 the United States have lodged protests against the proposed measure, among them being New York city, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Cincinnati and New Orleans. I have received letters from the heads of nearly every large lefty in the country protesting against the measure. If the pending bill is passed IL WILL cIiiDdITdSS us III lllS Sdic of bonds and will make 1t virtually inn possible for us to do so.
 "The city of Birmingham has a one year contract with Well, Roth & Co., bond buyers of Cincinnati to take all of our city public improvement bonds at 51a per cent with a premium of $5.5O on every 5000. Heretofore, they sold at par on contract Our contract with Veil, Roth & Co. gives us the privilege of renewing it for two more years at the expiration of the first year, which will be May, 1919. We have received a letter from the above mentioned con cern statinf that if the bonds were taxed | it would mean the cancellation of their contract with the city. According to the code of Alabama the constitutional limit on general bonds is 5 per cent and they cannot be sold below par. Bir- mingham will not issue any bonds this year, but we may do so next year and
 for the above mentioned reasons am
 opposed to that feature of the pending
 revenue bill"
