After an attack of Influenza, doctors advise that nature be assisted in it's building up process by the use or a good tonic-one that will not only put strength and endurance into the body. but will also help build up the run down cells of the brain.
 one of the most highly recommended rem edies to put energy into both body and brain is Ferraline. Your physician knows the formula, and is bound to ad- init that the combination of Iron, Lith- ium and Magnesium in Ferraline is simply wonderful. In connection with this Dr. w. W. Shoemaker of Handley. Texas, says:
 "Ferraline is good Tonic, one that may be assimilated by the most deli- cate stomach and a RECONSTRUC- TIVE that will BUILD UP the System In a Natural Manner. and will do 1t easily and quickly For After Effects of Influenza I do not believe that Fer raline has an equal, for.I am using it daily in my practice with splendid re- suits Ferraline in Natural Manner regulates acts upon the Kidneys and gives strength to the body. It does not contain habit forming drugs and can only be beneficial in its use

HEARINGS BEGIN
 IN SOUTHERN BELL
 INJUNCTION CASE
Attorney General> Seeking Injunction to Prevent En- fOrcement ExOrbitant
 Long Distance Rates

Montgomery, March 12.-(Special) Hearing of arguments in the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph com pany injunction case consumed all or Wednesday afternoon, and, from the be- ginning of the hearing at F o'clock it appeared arguments would not be com p1eted until Thursday.
 Attorney General J. c. Smith and his assistant, Horace Wilkinson. are asking Judge Leon McCord of the Montgomery circuit court to grant an injunction restraining the telephone company from enforcing what is claimed to be ex- orbitant long distance rates. The case probably will not be decided until Judge McCord has considered the evidence as presented by attorneys for the govern ment and state. More arguments are to be heard on Thursday.
 The big surprise of the injunction hearing was the little interest shown in Montgomery and the state. At no time during the afternoon hearing were there five spectators, outside of the attorneys, the judge and newspaper men.
 At the beginning of the case at 12 o'clock B. H. Cooper, Birmingham mem Der of the Alabama public service com mission: Atticus Mullen, secretary of the commission, and two newspaper men were in attendance Others seated

 There appeared to be absolutely no interest shown in the case, so far as citizens are concerned. few came to the door of the spacious supreme court room glanced through and left the building
 In the opening argument MT. Wilkin- son went into the details of the Presi- dents proclamation, which authorized the government to take over and oper- ate the telephone companies as war emergency. He went back to the days of the civil war, and cited cases which showed he claimed, that the govern nient could not take the power of regu- fating rates from the states in the Unit ed States. He read opinions showing that the Presidents proclamation which authorized the transfer of the concerns to the government was void in peace time He said the President was com mander in chief of the army and navy. but that power to take over the com pany was not vested in the comman- der or any other individual of the army.
