CHANGES MADE IN
 RAILROAD SCHEDULE AT MEETING HERE
New Sleeping Car Route to
 Mobile to Go Into Effect. Pullman Ticket Office Abolished

Beginning with December i, new
 Pullman sleeping car route between
 Birmingham and Mobile will be es-
 tablished which will enable BirminS-
 ham people to make the round trip to
 Mobile with the loss of a single day.
 Under the new schedule the Mobile
 sleeper will be attached to the Louis-
 vile and Nashville train leaving Bir-
 mingham at o'clock p. m, arriving at
 Mobile at 5:56 o'clock the next morn
 ing. Returning, it will leave Mobile
 over the New Orleans and Northeastern at 7:3o p. m. arriving in Birmingham over the Alabama Great southern at 5:45 a. m. the next morning.
 Another change that becomes effect i've December i, relates to the sale of Pullman car tickets. On that date the Pullman ticket office at the Terminal station will be abolished and all the sleeping car tickets will be sold at the railroad ticket offiees---the Ter vile station, and the consolidated ticket office at 2010 First avenue.
 ACCOUNTING SYSTEM A different accounting system also will be inaugurateds on the same date. Heretofore, under the railroad admin | istration, purchasers of railroad tick cts who expected to ride in sleeper l or chair car were required to pay the privilege charge-one- half of one cent a mile traveled-at the time the rall- road ticket was purchased. After tne new order goes into effect the pur chaser will pay only the railroad fare I plus the war tax when purchasing the railroad ticket, and the privilege ana | Pullman war tax will be added to the price of the sleeping car ticket. All reports of Pullman ticket sales, with 1 privileges and war taxes, will be fer war6ed to the Pullman company and l by that company to the railroad admin l istration.
 l In order to take care of the increased | business at the Terminal station re- sulting from this change. three addi- l tional ticket sellers will be, employed, making the force there Is, as against | the Is now handling the business there. 1 One more ticket seller will probably be added to the force at the Louis l vile and, Nashville station.
 l Announcement of these changes was made yesterday by w. A. Beckler, as- l sistant passenger traffic manager of 1 the Southern railway lines, west, and l J. K. Ridgely, general passenger agent | of the Louisville and Nashville rail road at New Orleans, members of the I committee in charge of operation of 1 ticket offices

The Prussian Guard, returning to Der.

the enthusiasm grows, that force is like.
ly to restore the monarchy in Prussia.
And yet most of the people are still hon

out the return of the Hohenzollerns. The
true solution of this difficulty for the
whole nation Is constituent assem-

having valid title to existence. All that
is needed is the steadying force, which
must be military, to preserve order I'M

ducts that are extensively adver-
tised, all at once drop out of

reason is plain-the article did
not fulfill the promises of the
manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A
medicinal PREPARATION that has
real curative value almost sells
itself, as like an endless chain
system the remedy is recommend
ed by those who have been bene-
fitted, to those who are in need Of
it.
A prominent druggist says
Take for example DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, a preparation have
sold for many years and never
hesitate to recommend. for in al
most every case 1t shows excel
lent results, as many of my Gus
toners testify. No other kidney
remedy that / know Of has SO

According to sworn statements
and verified testimony Of thou
sands who have used the prepara-
ton, the success of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that. so many people claim, 1t full

Peace Pacts Junk;
Fight! Says j. S.

In the East, may find concrete ex-
preston In President Wilson's pro-
posed war statemenk.
Every thing points to virile dec
laration along the lines Of the
allied council statement.
The presidents friends expect
him to make a stirring war ap-
peal to the ntaion, shunting aside
all peace talk and exposing the
uselessness OF trying for any
agreements with the power-mad
Teuton militarists.
His war statement, however.
may do all these things, yet have
In 1t the element of appeal to the
Americans or Germans to see the
ruthlessness OF the leaders; the
folly OF keeping on against a world
united against Germany because of
her crimes.
When the Versailles council re-
jected German peace terms and
announced in effect that Germany
must be crushed there was a dis
position here to disagree with that
idea, as 1T would undoubtedly
make the German people believe
there was no hope for them except
thru a victory of their leaders.
Now, the spirit Is here
put every last ounce of fight
into this war to force n con-

with Austria is now possible.
