ciated.
The exhibition serves two purposes
to give all an opportunity to see a
collection of the worlds famous mas
terpieces of painting. sculpture and
architecture: and to make ii possible
for the public to own few of these
pictures in its schools.
The pictures begin with Egyptian
art and continue TO the present, rep

are beautiful. Most of them are in
carbon reproduction, but a few arc
reproductions in color All who have

 NOT YET DECIDED Both the commissioned and noncom- missioned ranks of this training force it was planned, should be recruit ed from men who had displayed ability during the training. There Is reason to expect that some similar project will again be brought forward, al- though neither President Wilson nor Secretary Baker is committed now to univ ersal training as a neutral policy. In his last annual report, Mr. Baker said it was a question which shoul be decided while the country was at war.
 Demobilization of the existing off, cers corps, both line and staff, forms a separate element of the present prob lems of the war. department It is certain that efforts will be made to keep men who have shown themselves qualified in such relationship with the government that their services can be quickly re-secured at need.

Forester, grand secretary of the Broth erhood of Railway Clerks. notified the officials of the union organization in Washington that H. A. Berry who ap- parently has taken charge of the strike situation here, had no authority to call out the workers This announcement was made by w. K. Weaver. superin- tendent of the express company. to- night. Weaver also says the strikers have placed themselves Tn an awkward situation by striking without first ob- taining authority to do so.
 In the meantime, vast amount of perishable expressage Is said to be pill ing up in the various stations here with no prospect of early movement.

COMMISSIONERS AND PRESIDENT PEVEAR
 HOLD CONFERENCE
Street Car Service Discussed But No Statement to Be Given Out Until Time
 Limit Expires

| President Barrett would not admit yes- terday afternoon that the city commits sion conference with President Pevear of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company disclosed any of the things intimated by representative of 1 The Age-Herald, but he did state with a
 knowing air that on Friday there would "very likely" be story cut loose around | the municipal building that would pertain to the street railway.
 We merely went over the situation yesterday said Dr. Barrett. We did nothing of unusual interest to the public, but we are in touch with the situation and propose to start something if the street railway company does not come up to our demands by Friday, November 15,
 which is the expiration of the time limit fixed by the commission in their reso- lution adopted some weeks ago. MT. Pevear was in conference with the commissioners yesterday for sometime,
 and from all accounts that were avail able, a general rehash of the conditions past and present, in regard to the poor service of the company, and checking up on what progress the company has made in improving the service, Is all that took place.
 Commissioner J. Ellis Brown, who is the whip horse of the commission in this fight for better service, he having insti- gated the action that was taken, whereby demands were made of the company. that
 would give the patrons of Birmingham better service, stated that he had nothing to make public now, but would await the end of the time limit for the com pany to improve the service. which is
 Friday, before he would make any state ment.
 While there was a certain noted im- proysment in the service for time, it seems that with the least provocation. judging from all reports and observations, the company's schedule becomes easily disarranged and iflthere Is anything like
 reason for falling off in the service it immediately becomes all shot to pieces.
 This is explained by the company as be- ing due to so many green operators of

Nature Gives a Cry for Help, That Will Make This Win ter: a Season of Good
 Health for You

Winter and Catarrh are compan- ions in evil. Catarrh is sweeping civ ilization from one continent to an other, because civilization does not follow Natures laws. Nature tells us what to do and we pay no heed.
 Down deep in the body of man lie streams of blood, going everywhere and making a complete circiut of the body every few seconds. In these rivers, brooks and streamlets of blood flow millions of little soldiers called corpuscles. whose duty it is to heal hurts, expel the enemies of man germs-from the body and carry away impurities.
 Nature, with the blood, builds bone and hair and teeth and flesh. She does this so. quickly and with such absolute perfection that if we put into our mouths and stomachs the things sthc body needs, nature will distill her own chemicals and build up any torn down portions.
 Catarrh is tearing down of mu- cous membranes. A mucous mem brane is one of the wonders of science. It does the important work of the body in some lines. When it becomes diseased, you quickly have the alarm from nature. Catarrh, in most cases, first warns us from a condition of the nose and throat These membranes cannot do their work. They become clogged. Im- purities form and choke them. De- cay starts, unpleasant odors arise, gradually it spreads until the mem bxane is almost worthless. Then we lsazn the fault is with the blood.
