 MILLION ON MEN
Federal Board of Vocational Training Seeking Disabled
 Service People Here

Over a million dollars will be spent in
 Alabama for the training and education
 of disabled soldiers of this state during
 the next fiscal year. beginning July 1. A campaign is now being waged by
 the government to see that every ex- service man who was wounded or con- tracted disease during the war is fitted with an education and training so that he can at least make as much as he did before he enlisted in the army. Three hundred thousand dollars of the
 amount allotted to this state will be spent , here in Birmingham, according to infor- nation from Hugh J. Grant of the fed eral board of vocational education, who was in the city yesterday conferrins with officials of the local post of the American Legion.
 With the aid of the American Legion. the federal board of vocational education is trying to get in touch with every dis abled soldier in the state,' said Mir.
 Grant While the government was a little slow in getting the vocational training courses started, the board is now equipped with the necessary funds and intends to see that each and every ex-service man gets just what he is en- titled to-
 Many a man who has lost an arm or leg in the war is still trying to follow his old trade. In some cases they have rot the physical strength to stand up to it. That is what the board was ere ated for, stated Mir Grant, to teach the soldier a trade that he can do without being handicapped by disabilities that he cannot help.
 A single man who was wounded Tn the war will receive $S0 month while taking the course of training. A man with a dependent wife will receive S1l5 ner month, man with a wife and ono child will be paid $l25 per month while taking the course of training. The board also pays the transporta- ton to and from the ex-service man s home to the training institution to which he has heen assigned.

GERMS CAUSE
 DECAY 0F TEETH
Dental Science Says Germs Act in Three Ways-Produce Acids That Erode the Enamel; Infect Gums, Caus- ing Pyorrhoea; Infect Throat and Tonsils, Causing Sore Throat, Tonsilitis and Sys- temic Poisonings.

Dental authorities agree that if you would have your teeth last lifetime and avoid the many local and systemic diseases that come from an unhealthy mouth and infected gums, throat ano tonsils you must sterilize your mouth ana throat night and morning, as a part of your daily toilet. Dental Science has perfected an agreeable and most effec- tive sterilizing solution called Steroline which absolutely sterilizes the mouth, teeth and throat, penetrating even be- tween the teeth.
 Steroline, used as a mouth wash and gargle night and morning, soon becomes a most enjoyable and refreshing part of the toilet. It imparts most delightful sensation of freshness, cleanliness and comfort to the mouth and throat, purify ing the breath even of smokers and pre- venting pyorrhoea, throat irritatio colds, tonsilitis and many other con- tagions that gain entrance through the mouth.
 Telephone your druggist now for a bottle of Steroline and begin today to enjoy its delights and protection. A large bottle, enough for the entire fam fly, may be had for half dollar.-Adv

 The workmen of Canada were con graduated for defeating the one big union" idea and their stand was char acterized as "a magnificent triumph for trade unionism. and vindication kof the purposes, policies and achieve ments of the American Federation of Labor."
 The industrial conferences called by President Wilson were characterized as unsuccessful because "the employers stubbornly resisted every attempt at cancellation" and would not accept any resolution on collective bargaining'' unless it was so worded as to be anti trade union in spirit and to provide en- couragement and support for company unions" The machinery proposed by the second conference, the report at tacks, as in many respects actually pernicious and it declares that the machinery designed by the President s commission is entirely out of contact with the life for which it was designed and entirely unfitted for the needs of that life."
