Advantages of Birmingham to Be Presente dtO Publi-
 cationsS Seeking Location

There is a possibility of Birmingham becoming the publication home of some of the national magazines that have been compelled to suspend temporarily on account of strike among the printing trades in New York.
 Dispatches from New York during the last two or three days state that sev eral of the magazines may transfer their publication offices from New York to other cities on account of the strike Whether the transfer would be perma nent or merely to continue until the strike in New York is ended is not stated
 Publicity Secretary Paoli A. Smith of the Chamber of Commerce stated yes terday that he was preparing data on the printing business in Birmingham which he will forward to the publishers association of New York within a da. or two. He is preparing a list the rrinting shops, their capacity, the nun Ter of printers. pressinen and other workers about printing office and the equipment available for magazine pub fishing.
 MT. Smith stated yesterday that he had already collected sufficient data to show that Birmingham shops can han dle considerable volume of magazine work.
 The publishers association will be asked to consider the proposition Of coming to Birmingham in the event they leave New York
 In this connection 1t is stated tha; ere of the largest magazines in the United States. with a circulation Of a million or more month. has been pub 1ished in a western city much smaller than Birmingham, although it's business ard editorial offices are in New York
 It is the understanding that other magazines will make similar arrange ments in the event the printing trades strike in New York is not settled at an early date
 About 15o magazines are affected by the strike Their November numbers, which usually are delivered to subscrib- CTS and newsdealers during the month of October. have not been publish ed so far and it is stated that unless the strike is settled or the publishers make arrangements for the mechanical work to be done in some other city or cities the December numbers will also be missed.

He had rheumatism so bad that when he sat down he required aid to get up again; he was also quite nerovus and weak, and was bothered with constipation. He has tried about all the medicines on the market without getting much help, but our neighbor, Mir Collier, of Fort Deposit, got such wonderful results from Dreco that took dad a bottle of it He showed i'm Irovement on the first bottle; the sec ond made a big change in him, and he began to get around without much eff fort. and after taking the third bottle he deicided to try out his horse. some thing he hasn't done in a long, long time. Since that day he has ridden horseback every day around the eoun- try, much to the delight of the family and with pleasure to himself

superseded by the rates formerly in force.
 The public service commission heard the company's evidence in support of its petition several weeks ago. The hear ing was resumed yesterday morning Tor cross examination of the telephone com pany's witnesses by representatives of various Alabama towns interested. These municipalities insisted that there was no occasion for a prolonged extension of federal rates and that the exhibits intro duced for the company did not establish it's contentious that the full amount of the increases granted by the postmaster general has been absorbed in wages and increased operating costs.
 They urged that the commission take no action making present rates final pending the earliest practicable analysis of the results of private operation under those rates. The attorneys for the com pany expressed willingness for the con- mission to consider reparation of over charges if rates were found unnecessarily high after such test as the commission might permit.
 Commission Brown stated that he ex- pected the commission to complete an analysis of the company's operating fig ures before February l and to take some action with reference to reducing rates by that date.
 Specific objection was made to the con- tinuation of the 10c ton charge between Birmingham and Bessemer, but the com- mission gave no indication whether it would rescind or reduce this toll or per init it to remain effective with other government rates subject to reparation if found unreasonable.
 Included among those representing the municipalities were Ellis Brown and For ney Johnston of Birmingham, Dr. Clay Jones and W. S. Welch of Bessemer, $. H. Sprott of Tuscaloosa and Hugh White of Gadsden.
