FINEST ON EARTH
 SAYS MIR. HASKINS
Says He Feels Fine Since
 Taking VETO-NA
HUNDREDS FASTENING
VI---TO---NA Succeeds In Cases That No Other Medicine Had
 Benefited

When the delicate machinery of the stomach is not working tremendously the stomach is not digesting the food prop erly, poisons are. being retained in the stomach which should be eliminated The new discovery, VI-TO-NA, assists nature by causing the stomach to properly di- ges; the food when it promptly dissolves or neutralizes all of the poisonous acids which fermenting food has left in the stomach; and the digestive machinery thus relieved of the hampered acid ac- cumulation, goes naturally and normally about it's work of digestion without help of any kind. VI-TO-NA counteracts acid formation and so-called dyspepsia and indigestion.
 Among the hundreds of testimonials re- ceived prasng VI-TO-NA, none is of greater interest than that of MT. William Haskins, S9 West Avon7 avenue, AAtlanta Ga, well known employe of the city of Atlanta, who said:
 "I don't believe there is another lnedi- cine in the world that equals VI-TO-NA. had indigestion for years and VETO MA overcame it after everything else had failed. I had to be very careful about what I ate, and hardly ever touched meats of any kind. I was al- ways helching up gas and had severe pains in my stomach. I have taken six bottles of vI-TO-NA and haven't a sign of trouble now. I eat anything I want and everything agrees with me. I simply feel fine.''
 yI-TO-NA is on sale in Birmingham exclusively by Jacobs drug store.--Adv.

STREET CARS MAY
 | BE CROWDED ONLY
 FIFTY PER CENT
Commission Passes Amend ment to Ordinance Limit ing Number of
 Passengers.

The city commission tossed an0thel Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company yesterday afternOon by pass ing new street car ordinance which in addition to the other demands ai- ready laid down, provides that no ear shall be crowded by more than 50 per cent of it's normal seating capacity. In other words. car that is built to seat 10 people can carry only GO under the new regulations.
 But the commission goes step fur ther and makes it unlawful for any street car to pass or decline to admit a passenger at any regular stop, re- gardless of the number of passengers being carried at the time. These two provisions appear irreconcilable at first glance, but they simply mean that the company must either violate this section of the ordinance or run their cars so close together that the limit on the number of passengers carried must never be reached as long as there are stops to be made.
 Following is the amendment adopted yesterday:
 Where the cars or trailers on any specific train operated or designated according to the schedule of any such person. firm or corporation, whether published or filed or not, or where the cars or trailers operated on the nearest corresponding trip or schedule from day to day, or where the cars or trailers on any line or route at or between given or readily determined hours or peaks are from day to day or regu- . larly, or habitually, or usually or dur ing two-thirds of the business days out of any 14 consecutive days, occu- pied or offered to be occupied by passengers or intending passengers amounting at any. time on such car, train trip. schedule,t period or peak, to 50 per cent more than the rated or req : sonable seating capacity of such train, car or trailer, an undue congestion menacing the health and working un- reasonable discomfort and inconven- .iepce ito passengers and a viola ton of this ordinance and of this section ard of the preceding section hereof. is hereby declared and shall be adjudgcd to exist as matter of law; but noth- ing herein contained shall be construe. | as determining that such person, firm or corporation may, without violating this ordinance or it's public duty to maintain service on any of it's lines so inadequate as to force congestion up to the point herein declared undue and unlawful as a matter of law; and nothing herein contained shall be corl- strued as authorizing any such person firm or corporation or any agent.

 Asserting Austria's armies today are 0 strong, we'll organized military force with high morale, he declared that the present Italian drive is not directed against weakened enemy, "but against a force superior in numbers and capable Iof hard fighting and bitter resistance
 The internal disturbance and political disorder of thesdual monarchy must not spe Interpreted as meaning a greatly weakened and disorganized military force opposing the Italian armes, he said 'tSuch an impression is entirely unjus- tified and will only do harm if it leads the American public to expect an early disorganized and disastrous retreat of the Austrian forces"

FACE PERIL IN RUSSIA

One result of Austrian equalization, which cannot be gauged reliably in ad- vance is the situation of the 30 or more German divisions in Russia Ths German general staff is known to have reduced the German forces in Russia to what was regarded as the minimum of safety when the spring drive in France was prepared. Recently, how. ever, 1t has been learned that some of the divisions left there hada been brought hastily to the western lino and several were hurried to the Dam ube front.
 Lacking Austrian help in Russia, the situation of the German forces there would appear to be perilous and of ficers say it would become vital.y- necessary that they be so disposed as to rest upon the Russo-German from tier, That would mean a great cur tailment of Russian territory they could police and complete evacuation Of Russia by the Germans was regard ed as the logical result

OBLIGED TO. ACCEPT

Basel. Switzerland. October 29.-A semi. official note issued at Vienna today or Aastria $ reply to President Wilson says
 Austria was obliged to conform tc the methods of President Wilson, who had suceessWely replied to the three members of the triple alliance, and act apart from her, allies. The monarchy. which has formally adopted President Wilson's line of action. shares his opin- ion, as was shown by the Emperor s manifesto to the peoples, which in pro- claiming the liberalization of the mon- archy, exceeded President Wilson's pro- grsmme.
 However, the complete. reorganization of Austria can only be carried out after an armistice. If Austria Hungary .has declared herself ready to enter into ne gotiations for an armistice and for pea ce, without awaiting the result of negotia- tions with other states, that does not necessarily signify an offer of a separate peace. It means that she is ready to act separately in the interests Of re-estab- lishment of peace.

CIVILIANS FLEE
 IN PANIC FROM
 LOWER RH|NELAND
All Banks Stormed by De- positors, Who Are With drawing Savings Pre-
 paratOry to Flight.

London, October 29.-(British Wireless Servicel-Civilian departures from the lower Rhineland snd part of West phalia. which were begun on a small scale when the first allied bombs hit Cologne, have developed into a panic flight, accordingo to The Hague core spondent of the Daily Mail. All the banks are being stormed by depostors who are withdrawing their savings in German bank notes of as high a value as are obtainsble. the 100-mark note hav- ing an appreciable market value over lower currency. But eve small notes of one mark are being taken eagerly.
 Not only are some of the banks at their wits end for legal currency to pay out deposits, but in places, especially Cologne and Dusseldorff all except To- cal, and therefore, valueless, currency has disappeared, as if by magic. Every body who can possibly afford it is try ing to make his or her way eastward. Scores of houses stand empty.
 Even in Berlin financial panic has seized the people, and the ordinary pa- per currency of the empire has van ished. The municipality has been com pelled to issue emergency currency to the value of about 50,00o0o0 marks, valid until February 1 next, within the con- fines of Greater Berlin. Tradesrnen may
 
 least, decline to change the notes, ex- cept when compelled to take them in payment for goods already delivered
 The big German banks have published flaming appeals to tour fellow citizens" not to withdraw deposits and not to hoard currency notes. But the rush on the banks has grown worse than ever.
 The working population of Cologne, seeing the war factories closed down, big houses evacuated and eastbound trains crowded with well -to-do fugitives, are demanding immediate peace more irsistentIy than ever. Demonstrations have been increasingly violent A man ifesto which has been issued by section of the social democrats declares that if the Emperor does not voluntarily abdi- cate he will be removed, It says that if the necessity arises, and if the hour comes, organized labor with the strong middle class, will remove all which does not voluntarily yield to the huge majori- ty of the people.

RED CROSS HELPING THEM

At the same time the American Red Cross is helping them. Indeed, this or ganization, as soon as it learned the truth of the plight of these Serbian refugees. immediately arranged to feed. Iclothe and shelter them, at least for the present
 Furthermore. I can say by way of parenthesis the American Red Cross society is doing d great humanitarian work here, not only in behalf of those Serbians, but for all Siberia to whose people the victims of Hun miIitarism and bolshevist anarchy and terror, it is bringing relief and new hope.
 The Serbian refugees who have just reached Harbin, perhaps also have reached the end of their great suffering, for, l am informed, they may be sent to Manila to stay until the wars end. when they. will be returned to their homes.
