Bragg is known to be an astute poll tician and a man of considerable per sonal magnetism, but for reasons previously assigned in this column he has incurred the disfavor of a major ity of the student body, When the de- mand for his resignation was sounded by the student body storm of pro test was raised among the alumni and among athletic leaders of other col leges, with the result that the students rescinded their action. It seems, how ever, that Bragg has felt the criticism keenly and will step down and out.
 Mike Donahue's style of coaching, vim dictated by the past, seasons showing, has ben o. K-ed by the action of the fac ulty in arranging to hold on to him for the next five years. Many of us who have been prone to criticize Mike at times for not developing more offensive power are obliged to admit that he delivers the goods with startling regularity. Dona- hue has his faults, but Auburn might go long way after a coach and do worse
 Football fans of the Magic City will have at least two opportunities to see Auburn in action next year when the Tigers take on Washington and Lee and Vanderbilt As forecast in this column Thursday morning, the Generals have arranged to come to Birmingham and to take on Auburn instead of Alabama. Six big football games are already billed for this city in 1920, to wit: The Auburn Vandy, the Alabama -Sewanee, the Ala bama-Vandy, the Alabama-A. and M, the Auburn Washington and Lee, and the Howard Birmingham Southern game.

To Relieve Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness
 And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deaf. ness, or who are growing hard of hearing and have head noises will be glad to know that this distressing affliction can usually be successfully treated at home by an inter- nal medicine that in many instances has effected complete relief after other treat ments have failed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear have had their hearing restored to such an extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audible seven or eight inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know of someone who is troubled with head noises or catarrhal deafness, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. The prescription can be prepared at home and is made as follows:
 Secure from your druggist 1 oz. Parmnt Double Strength.) Take this home and add to it 4 pint of hot water and little grant, lated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonful four times day.
 Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflammation and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to equalize the air pressure on the drum, but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle ear, and the results it gives are nearly always quick and, effective.
 Every person who has catarrh in any form. or distressing rumbling. hissing sounds in their ears. should give this recipe a trial.

 Charles R. Bell, president of the An niston Chamber of Commerce, presided over thes meeting and served as the toastmaster for the occasion, amply sus- taining his splendid reputation as a presiding genius, and injecting just that comrade feeling necessary to make an event of the kind finger long in the minds of those who took part in its making.
 Mingled with the spirit of good fel- lowship which pervaded the meeting at the Alabama there was the discussion of several very important matters of vital interest to the people of Anniston, of Calhoun county and the state of Ala bama, chief among them being the send ing forth through the medium of the travelling men support for the good roads movement now sweeping over the state and the increasing of the tax rate.

1 At an early age Eugene Pullen waa an express driver. He handled railroad baggage. One day after delivering 4 heavy trunk on an upper floor he felt pain in the right groin. The suffering increased and it was not long before the young man noticed the swelling. The doctor told young Pullen that he was ruptured and that he must either wear a truss throughout life or submit to drastic operation. All sur geons know that hernia operations. with anaesthetics, etc, arc dangerous; they may end fatally. Moreover, it is well established fact that many rup- ture operations are not Succcssful: the bowel soon breaks through the sewed- up opening and protrudcs worse than ever. ~f Afraid of Operation Like most others, MT. Pullen declined to take the risks of an operation; the expense and loss of time had to be con sidered. too. Hoping he night get q little better encouragement he went to another physician who to his sorrow, gave him even less hope. Tt was point ed out to the young man that unless the rupture were perfectly held all the time or the surgeons knife successfully used. he might expect an increase or doubling in the rupture with further
 complications. or the dreaded strang. ulated hernia which kills so many rup- tured people. S .
 Victim of rrusses
 The victim bought truss, . hard, spring like affair, the best he could get 7 It tortured him. He tried another still no relief He was compelled to give up his express business. The hard tasks of ordinary men were forbidden him. He became an insurance agent. in which position he did not need to do bodily work.
 For six years MT. sPullen dragged around. using various, trusses. hard. elastic. etc., with never any content ment One day his mother told him something she had just found out. It was simple and easy thing for him to do. He lost no time.
 Discarded His Truss
 Relief came at once; he almost for got that he had any rupture. After ward came cure--a complete healing and. although years have passed and MT. Pullen is an energetic carpenter, working on buildings, climbing over roofs, lifting lumber and such like, ho is absolutely free from the old hernia He knows he is completely lastingly cured. There was no operation, no lost ment from the very outset He is strong. cheerful-minded man.
 Valuable Information Free
 The Valuable information which Mrs. Pullen read in newspaper many years ago and gave to her son. together with further important facts, will be sent Gree to any reader of this who writes to Eugene M. Pullen. S06F Marcelius ave- aue. ManasQuan. N. J., enclosing stamp for reply Mention the kind of rupture you have, whether on right or eft ssde and what you have already ione in your effort to cure it. A legion fl cases of all kinds of rupture in men md women, including inguinal (groin), ernoral navel, scrotal. etc; havo bcen reported completely healed. Age seerns to make no difference. M

For the first time in decade Auburn has no game scheduled with Mississippi A, and M. next season. November 6 is still open on the Auburn calendar and the Aggies may be taken on then.
 I wish to second the motion of an At lanta scribe that Capt Pete Bonner, the Auburn tackle, be nominated by the south for the mythical ali-American team Bonner is fully as good a man as Cody and though not quite so spec tacular in his play has probably been the most valuable lineman in Dixie this year.
 In electing Ralph Jones captain for 1920 the University of Alabama foot ball team made wise choice. Jones was one of the best guards in the south this year and he should be even bet ter when the next season rolls around. From all accounts Alabama will lose only one man from the 1919 team next year.
 Auburn is trying to arrange a game with Ohio State for 1920. Here's hop ing it will be billed for Birmingham.
 After all, Josh Cody refused the of fer to play professional football and will very probably captain the Vandy basketball team this year. Cody is also catcher on the baseball team. f Fans who missed the negro football game at Redwood yesterday over looked a good bet The Birmingham Stars have fullback who is a regular black, Stevenson. He rams a line like a piledriver and plays a great defensive game.

London Women's Dresses
 Shorter Than American
By MARGARET WALTER

These soft skin jackets are the prettiest things I ever saw and an extraordinary thing is that they are hardly to be found in the shops. One of the most fashionable dressmakers brought over a couple from the ateliers of Paris a clever woman saw they were the easiest thing in the world to make and the idea spread like anything, Women are even wearing them under their wraps out of doors and they make he most effective dash of color in the fog and dark of these winter days
 Perhaps the little caps or headpieces that go wiGh them will stay as well. So far they only adopted by a few ultra modish women, but there is no doubt that they are taking, and after all if the rest of your body is kept cosy why not your ears too. The little tabs and tassels that fall over the ears are very becoming. too Also wear ing something on your head avoids the need of fixing your hair, which is a chilly job in any icy bed room dimly illuminated by mist colored lights.

 !. London. December 6--In America I left long skirts and long wrinkley sleeves behind. Also the most gor- geous furs in the world, which I saw not only on Fifth Avenue, but in the hotels and theatres of the big western cities. London women are still going about in elbow length afternoon frocks and their dresses are very short indeed judged by American standards though not nearly so abbreviated as are chic in Paris. Of furs one sees little although heaven knows it's cold enough.
 The prettiest novelties are seen in doors though a very smart coat and skirt of moleskin was much admired at the Ritz on the first day of snow.
 London houses are cold as ever this year and the latest craze Gor once the product of common sense) in for the most barbaric house wraps of brilli- ant and dazzling colors either em- broidered upon a heavy loose hand woven soft wool fabric or applique upon natural chamois or suede leather.

Tompson, Parker & Co.'s Private Wire


 New Orleans, December 6-Fluctuations were nervous and narrow in cotton to- day, and they plainly reflected the wait ing attitude most traders have adopted because of the bureau reports of the coming week. in the early trading there were net declines cfsS to 1S points, and net advances of fl to 20 points. Later dealings carried prices rapidly up and down within these limits, no very definite trend being established.
 Shorts were disposed to take their profits, and they furnished the market with most of it's support. Probably buy ing for long account would have been larger but for the weekend, as bull sh traders were favorably impressed by the release of Consul Jenkins and by the reports concerning the condition of Pres ident Wilson.
 According to foreign advances the next step in European politics will probably be an ultimatuan to Germany from the entente, but just exactly what this ui- timatum would mean statesmen them selves do not seem to be quite sure. while another element is more pacific. It may be that the market may derive inn pcrtant trading influences from this direction before long. The course of prices Monday quite naturally will be governed by what the census bureau says about ginnngs.-Shepard & Gluck

worth he buys. It Is even worse in France. The Frenchman must pay st.S0, the Italian somewhat over $2 ano the Germans almost $9. Of course this abnormal situation must be ended if we are at last to establish normal trade relations beneficial to us with like bene- fit to those with whom we trade
 In a few words MT. Lamont points out speaks of the manner of which the extraordinary growth of our foreign trade has been developed, a growth so great that in the five years between 1915 to 1919, inclusive, our net trade balance aggregated approximately a4.- 000,o00,000. This stupendous total can be traced back to the purchases just after the war began in the United States by the entente allies of commo dities of which they stood in need. They bought indiscriminately, or, as Mir Lamont says, "helter- -skelter.' Therefore, there followed unwise and severe competition among the allies for they simply put up prices upon each other in order to be the first to secure these commodities. And yet no increase in the production in the commodities followed. Therefore, arose a situation which was not permanently advantage ous to American manufacturers.
 Europe realized that it was necessary to put an end to this unreasonable and harmful competition. Therefore, some of the foreign governments sought the aid of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. chiefly for<the purpose of co-ordinating the requirements of the allies and then bringing about regularity and prompt ness in fulfilling these requirements This work was undertaken and the re- suits justified the undertaking. It did, have marked and favorable effect upon the international situation and upon the development of this export trade
