nently closed to enlistment is er'
roneous. The Aviation Section

<'If you think you are sacrific
ing in your efforts to save foot
now, wait six months; we hav'
Just begun. Bread is sacred; save
it. Six porkless days, not one
should be observed" is the mes
sage that is being carried by Ed
ward F. Trefz and DR.. AleXandel
Cairns, of the United States FOOD
Administration, who are making
speeches in Minnesota in the in
terests of food conservation.
According to the speakers,
there are two things that the
people at home can best do to
help win the war; they are to
save wheat and pork.
Bread is the great food Of
the French people.
Pork is the great food of
the American soldier, in fact
every soldier.
In addition, oil from pork
is used to lubricate rifles, to
keep soft the boots Of the
soldier and he rubs it upon
his body to keep out the
damp and the wet of the
trenches.
Mr.. Trefz declared that he
would not eat pork as long as
the war lasts, and that the
United States should have
six porkless days week, in
stead of one.
The hog, he said, is the
most important animal in the
United States.
A resume of Mr.. Trefz' speecl
follows:
"When the war will end de
ponds upon the United States
When every man, woman AM
child does his or her bit, and i
willing to give their last dollar
the men even their lives, you vii
end the war.
"The issue is whether tn

Mrs. c. B. Spencer. president, and Mrs. w. H. Stockman, secretary of the Mercy Home, have issued the twenty sixth annual Thanksgiving appeal. This is most worthy cause, three of the boys of the home are now serving with the armies in France, while many Of the girls who have been associated with the home are successfully filling posi- tions as teachers, business women and housekeepers.
 There is an average of 90 in the household 50 of whom are in the public schools. the younger ones being i'll the kindergarten, while there are always a number in the nursery. The officers of the institutions request everyone to make a comparison with the upkeep of the members of his household with that of household of 90 or more and he will readily realize the cost of mainte- mace.
 Money for current expenses must be raised if this work is continued, ac- cording to the officers of the institution and the food expense of the children of the Mercy Home Is reckoned as about the same as that of the orphans In France. The children here are provided with nutritious food, well ventilated sleeping apartments, and comfortable clothes. : The public is urged to give liberally this year and make this real Thanks giving time in the lives of the inmates of the institution.

was searched, the following loaded fire arms being found in their house: Two Swiss rifles, two Winchester rifles, two 22 calibre rifles, one double barreled shotgun, two single barreled shptguns, one 3S calibre U. s. pistol, one .S2L20 Colt automatic, one .22 pistol and large knife.
 The circular which the woman had printed was mailed to several people in Birmingham. and it is stated that she will be prosecuted by the federal govern ment on a separate charge for every cir cular that she mailed. It is alleged that
 Mrs. Martini has attempted to black mail other prominent people in Birming- ham, and that on one occasion she was arrested by the department of justice on
 q white slavery charge, and she tried
 to turn the tables on Mark Hanna of the department of justice. who was prosecut- ing her by an attempted blackmail scheme against him.
 This is purely blackmal scheme stated pr. Gewin last night T knew
 nothing of the matter until I began to receive threats on my life, and then learned the woman had gone to the high school and located the room and the grade that my little girl was in, and the next thing I heard was the threats on the child's life. I did not fall for the threats. and then came one of the circulars which the woman has circulated over the city, having mailed them to certain people with an idea of injuring me professionally and morally. I did not think much of them until her letter came in which she told me that she was go- ing to kill my young daughter unless gave her $50,000 Then I turned the mat ter over to the Bodeker Detective agency and they have landed the woman and her husband in jail, and I am going to prosecute them crminally, civilly and in every other manner possible
 AS to my having had anything to do with the death of her daughter, it is absurd. When the woman was brought
 to the hospital she was afflicted with a very malignant case of blood poisoning,
 and after administering one dose of a strong medicine, which is customary in such cases, to which her case did not respond I told the woman that I could
 do nothing further for her daughter, and
 she was removed from the hospital to
 her home.l where her death occurred a
 week later I understand.
 The grand jury will investigate the
 Martini cases, and in the meantime they
 are being held on peace warrants, their
 bonds having been set at $5ooO each, which
 neither had made last night.
 Dr. Gewin has resided in Birmingham
 for the last IS years, and is recognized
 as one of the leading physicians of the
 city, being a member of the leading
 clubs. as well as a thirty-second degree
