'Of what use is a beautiful set of furs or a warm, comfortable overcoat in winter, if the owner contracts influ- enza, Rheumatism or chills and fever?" asks Dr. R. l.. Eaton, well-known Att lanta physician.
 'The real danger and discomfort from >the rains and winds, snows and sleet of long, hard winter, lies in the lack Of protection to the inner body.
 Slight disorders of the digestive. as- similative and eliminative organs de- range the entire system, if not attended to promptly, and the results are fre- quently serious"
 Dr. Eaton is the manufacturer of El Vigor. his own prescription for disor- ders of the blood, liver, stomach and kidneys. and the testimony of thou sands of southern people who have been benefited by Fl Vigor, is convincing ev- idence that Fl Vigor is without an equal in the treatment of rheumatism, con- stipation. dyspepsia, biliousness. kidney vousness. run-down condition, kidney disorders and other kindred ailments.

Gradually his slaes in stock became more lucrative, and from a moderate start he had erected a model stock farm. About 25 miles from Selma, on that branch of the Southern railroad leading from Sel- ma to Akron, is Bates Farm"
 Mir. Bates died several years ago, but his work still lives. The farm has been successfully operated by his son, G. Crawford Bates, who announces his first auction sale of Bates Jersey Herd" to be held at the farm on No Vember 15, and for this occasion ex- pert stock salesmen and auctioneer have been procured from the west-a coun- try famous for thoroughbreds. This will be an event in Perry county cattle dom, and the attendance will not be confined to Alabama stock fanciers
 Probably we in this state will never read of sale of stock that we do not refer to the event of the Red Cross sale of blooded bulls when our beautiful society girls actually had the bulls by the horns" leading them through the streets. We do not shudder, since when hearing that fine cattle are leading Alabama into the words best markets that her products are standard and our stock sales are sign of industrial progress.

BRITAIN CELEBRATES

London, November ll.-Great Britain today celebrated the first anniversary of armistice day with impressive ceremo- nies. The foremost and striking of these came in response to the appeal of King George to commemorate the event by a universal simultaneous suspension of ae- tivity throughout the country and the observance of silence for two minutes at the moment corresponding with the signing of the armistice-the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
 The royal call. which appealed to the imagination of the people, had been pub lished and commented on widely through out the country, with the result that everybody was prepared to join with appreciative readiness in the unique cele- hration. The arrangements for carrying out the plans were made with great thoroughness, extending even to ships at sea.
 The orders for silence and the standing at attention for two minutes which were prescribed by the British navy were adopted also by all the American war ships in British waters on instructions
 issued from the American naval staff
 here. The military arrangements were
 similar to those of the navy.
 In addition to general suspension of industrial and commercial activities and
 the cessation of traffic by railroads and tramways. the celebration included solemn religious ceremonies in churches of every denomination. One large department store in London had local clergyman conduct services in it's building so that all the customers present might attend. Among other celebrations in London which served to accentuate the impress iveness of the anniversary was a pro- cession organized by "The Comrades of the Great War" and other patriotic asso- ciations to cenotaph in Whitehall
 which commemorated "the glorious dead" This ceremony embraced solemn rites and the laying of wreaths at the foot of the cenotaph,
 The newspapers today devoted columns
 to the anniversary, printing among other things messages from numerous public persons appreciative of the occasion.

 The miners who win attend the meet ing will include the international of ficers, district presidents. members of the executive board and of the scale com the general committee, which has been meeting here
 Although the strike has been called off. court action in the strike case has not been completed by any means. The min CTS attorneys are preparing their writ of erro.' with view to appealing the case peals and expect to file their petition for this step within the next two or three days.
 The attorneys stated that they expected to carry the case to the highest tribunal of the country if the government is up held in all tower courts in it's contention.
 From the standpoint of the government the miners themselves are not absolyed from further obedience to the courts injunction through withdrawal of the strike order, and unless the case is dis missed injunction writs served on more than SO of the United Mine Workers of ficials are returnable before December 2.
 MANY OFFICIALS SERVED
 Thirty-one officials of the organization were served with copies of the temporary restraining order issued eOctober 31, re- turnable November 20. About 8 others were served during a session of the con- ference yesterday with copies of the tenn porary restraining order issued last Sat urday.
 There was speculation tonight as to how the notice of withdrawal of the strike order would be received by the miners in the fields. In some quarters it was believed that the men would return almost as a whole on orders from their union heads.
 However there were indications that in some districts feeling against obeying the order to resume work existed. Dele gates to the conference who were ques- toned on this subject would make no pre- dictions.
 Patriotic devotion to the government and American ideals and institution caused the United Mine Workers of America to comply with the order of the strike order, according to a statement made tonight by Ellis Searles, editor of the United Mine Workers Journal. The statement follows:
 STATEMENT OF SEARLES
 "When the officials of the United Mine Workers of America announced that they would comply with the order of the United States court and obey it's man dates they simply followed the historic policy of the union on patriotic devotion to the govehnment and Amercan ideals and institutions. The unted mine work CTS will not fight the government. It is their government just as it is the gov ernment of every citizen.

New York, November 11.--Great throngs of New Workers who had either faced the foe abroad or had served their coun- try at home rededicated themselves to- night to the ideals which they struggled to preserve in the great conflict in city, wide celebrations of the first anniversary of the armistice.
 There was an absence both during the day and night of the unbounded hilarity that took possession of the city this night a year ago. Instead the occasion was graced with solemnity in fond momery of those who had made the sacrifice. In churches and hotels, in fact wherever men and women gathered the deeds of the fallen were extolled and the pledges of the living were recorded.

South Alabama has almost entirely discarded King Cotton. The boil weevil has been foe to it's successful cultivation. For years the landowners have been figuring on pla0 to again create successful yields from the fields of the black belt, and gradually blood ed stock is feeding on it's pastures. So extensive has grown the raising of fine stock that it has become style to hold auction sales. Perhaps such things were never thought of before in the south, because of the scarcity and grade of stock. Ours was of the ''scrubby kind" and we did not dare to adver- ,tise to the world our neglect and lack of progress.
 But today better breeds of all stock is making lands more valuable, and bringing neglected plantations, which used to be reckoned as gold mines, into the worlds favor again.
 Perhaps the first exclusive Jersey farm started in Alabama was owing to the nerve and enterprise of the late MT. Frank H. Bates.
 Forty years ago, we remember, when he threw down the shovel and the hoe and turned his 400 acres of prairie land into pastures There he planted prob ably the first Jersey herd in the state. He selected his start from the best strain of cattle to be found, and care- fully bred to a cream and butter cow The famous Bates Butter" was well

tended all along and still contend that their cause is just, and that they are en- titled to higher wages and better work ing conditions. So long as it was con- troversy between the miners and the op- erators. the miners were determined to wage their battle for the things which they believed then and now they were entitled to.
 But when the government entered the case and proceeded to make fight against the miners the entire situation was changed.
 "They felt that the government was wrong in taking this position. and they contested in the courts the right of the government to do so, But the court ruled against them and laid down the law and the miners accepted the mandate of the court because they are good Ameri- cans who believe in law and order and who always have insisted on lawful and orderly methods of procedure.
 / ATTITUDE UNCHANGED
 "There is nothing new in this attitude of the coal miners. In every instance where Americanism was needed, in every emergency where American citizns had to come to the aid of their country, the coal miners of America have led the way.
 'sEighty thousand members of the Unit ed Mine Workers of America entered the military service in the world war, and more than 3000 gave their lives in that struggle. The united mine workers and it's members bought more than s10,000, 900 worth of liberty bonds out of their small earnings They contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Red Cross, the Salvation Army. the Knights of Co., lumbus, the Y. NJ. c. A. and every other war relief fund.
 ''The nation asked the coal miners for a maximum output of coal during the war and they produced more coal than ever before in the history of the world the coal that won the war for liberty and American ideals.
 "The coal miners believe in observance of the law of the land. When their gov ernment speaks they obey, regardless of personal sacrifice. Naturally, then, when the government told them to call off the strike they responded periodically and loyalty.
 "Now what will the operators do?"

 SCORES OF TENTS
 Those who followed the early morn ing cavalcades from the railroad tracks to the show ground witnessed the erec- tion of the scores of tents. Greatest of these is the main tent. It is longer, wider and higher than any ever built before. This has made possible the introduction of such mammoth dis plays as an elephant act in which five times as many elephants are used than have ever before been presented in on number. The increased height of the "big top permits more thrill- ing aerial acts and in greater number than in the past
 This mornings street parade is scheduled to reach the business dis trict shortly after 10 o'clock. Like all else connected with the big circus, it promises to be of greater length and brilliancy than any of it's predecessors. There will be many novelties coupled with the more usual sights, such as block after block of open cages. tab leau floats, gorgeous chariots and the people of many strange lands. The elephant division surpasses anything of the kind ever attempted. The horses represent the pick of the worlds most beautiful circus equines There will be camel team in gorgeous trappings, many bands of music. three calliopes and whole brigade of clowns Among the scores of wonderful tableau cars will be 20 representing as many diff ferent countries and there will be a
 gorgeously carved barge of state for every continent.
