It IS simply self destruction to let this trou- ble sap your comfort and health away It wears it's victim down until he grows weaker as the disease gathers force, nourishing itself on the patients very lifeblood.
 It is more than probable that there sis at least one member in every fam ilY who is afflicted in this way, and these are the people who should know about Plant Juice, the new herbal stomach remedy, which has no peer as remedy for diseases arising from the stomach, liver, kidneys and blood. Plant Juice has been provided by nature her. self for those who break natures laws.
 Daily testimonials from we'll known Fsslocal people are received, giving glow ing accounts of how they have been restored to; health. Only recently the following statement was made to the Plant Juice Man by Mr. Frank Iron cale, who resides at No. 1923 Avenue I, a popular employe of large steel corporation at Ensley, where he has resided for number of years. He says
 For over year I have been great sufferer with my stomach; I could not keep the lightest kind of food down. and it would ferment andI was bloated with gas and in great pain. I had dizzy spells and black spots would come up in front of my eyes so could hard ly see; I had ringing noises in my ears, could not sleep at night. and had hard lump in the pit of my stomach like lead; l had bad bilious attacks and was very nervous and felt all run down. I had no ambition for my work. have taken Plant Juice for several weeks and can truthfully say that it has made new man of me. I can eat all kinds of fruits and vegetables-in fact. anything want and have fine appetite for my meals. I sleep well and feel like working again. My sis ter-in Jaw was down and out in health and Plant Juice has made her we'll woman today. We are glad to indorse it.'

FINAL HUDDLESTON
 RALLY LAST NIGHT
Big Crowd Lacked Enthu- siasm Which Was Shown
 Last Thursday Night

The final rally in the interest of Huddleston for Congress was held at Capitol park last night and the amphi- theatre was well filled and many were standing in the aisles.
 No new features were injected last night save that some new descriptive terms were found for the anti-Huddle- ston forces. Mir. Huddleston hfmseir referred to them as renegade preach CTS and lot of other scoundrels. Ben c. Perry of Bessemer said Frank r. Glass and his cohorts ought to have been drowned when they were pups John w Altman also had some new methods of referring to the opposi- >tion He lauded Bessemer for its ae- ton in indorsing Huddleston and read a telegram from Samuel Gompers tes- tifying that Huddleston had always been friendly to measures favorable to the laboring man. MT Huddleston was very hoarse
 There were many anti-Huddlestor men in the audience which was shown by the cheering when some one shouted "Hurrah for Barnwell." and the meeting as | whole had nothing like the en- thusiasm that was exhibited last Thursday night when Huddleston re- turned from Washington.

There never was a more thrilling, more entertaining and thoroughly en- joyable screen offering presented in Birmingham than Jane and Katherine Lee, the two juvenile wonders of the photoplay art, in Doing Their Bit" at Loew's Bijou for the first threa days of the week They are absolutely great, and applause was as frequent as if it had been a play of the legiti- mate stage
 This sevel-reel feature film is thor oughly patriotic. 1t exudes patriotism from every scene The audience appalud- ed from pit to dome at several crucial scenes that were presented. and on just as many occasions they were con- vulsed with laughter. All of the chil- .dren should see this film. and every patriot ought to see 1t.
 The vaudeville bill includes many songs and dances. and Is very enjoya- ble. Sullivan and Meyers do a dancing act that is one of the best ever seen herc They are nimble pair of fel- lows, and their steps are new and nifty. They change their makeup several times and their last dance, de- picting pair of old men, is very good indeed
 Florence and Evelyn are songsters that please. both being comedy maid- ems with very good voices. Friend and Downing offer an act that is full of comedy, their monoIogue being snappy and of the Yiddish variety.
 There are two other acts that are up
 to the standard. and the current events are worth seeing alone. They depict
 things that are going on with Uncle
 Sam's mon al home and overseas and
 meet with a hearty applause. At the Lyric

The scen- cry is unique as we'll as lavish and the costumes are original and pretty. l The bill opens with a scenic and novel musical act by Doris and Russell and I draws much applause. The pair are clever musicians and for their instru-
 ments they use various devices around a railroad station The act went well. Jo- sephine Davis has always been a fla vorte in Birmingham. and she certainly maintains her popularity.

Huns
Surrender to two
British Flyers

LONDON. Sept 25.-Two British
aviators, flying low in one machine,
brought about the surrender of 65
Germans. and without leaving their
plane shepherded the party across
No Mans land TO the British lines,
according TO a tale from the battle
field made known Tuesday.
The pilot and his observer had
been attacked from a trench and
sunken road The pilot dived and
replied to the enemy fire with his
machine gun, killing one and
wounding three. The Germans in
a panic ceased firing and hoisted a
white handkerchief.
AS there was no British infantry
in that neigh borhood, the pilot
descended to within so feet OF the
ground and ordered the Germans
out OF the trenches, circling around
them to insure that none escaped.
All were safely brought in and
handed over TO the nearest British
troops The aviators then resumed
their patrol.

dries the scalp, makes the hair

much better than the most eXpen-

Simply moisten your h7lr with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abun-
