Boys of Alabama who gave their health for democracy on the fields of France and in the camps of this country lie suffering in the Walter Reed hos pital at Washington.
 May has been designated as Ala bama Day at the hospital. Funds have been asked from cities of the state to make the celebration a success. A con grcssional committee of Alabamians IS in charge.
 Five days are left before the celebra- ton date. Mobile and Montgomery have responded liberally to the appeal of the Alabama delegation.
 Senator Oscar Underwood advised The Age Herald by telegram last night that no money has been received from Bir- mingham. He asks citizens of this city to put concerted effort behind this move ment and swell Birmingham's contribu- tion to $500 or s400.
 Senator Underwood made the. sugges- tion that one of the clubs put on drive to raise fund of this amount
 Remember the Alabama boys at Walter Reed is the injunction of members of Congress from the state to Birmingham citizens.
 tate board have sent $200 worth of to- bacco to the committee in charge of the celebration.
 Contributions may be sent direct to Washington or to the secretay of the city commission. who will see that the money reaches the proper destination.

RUHAMA BAPT|STS
 ID BUILD CHURCH Expect to Raise $75,OO0 for StruCture-Five Teams
 Start May 8

Work will soon be started upon a new building for one of the oldest churches in Birmingham
 Members of the Ruhama Baptist church are soon to undertake the task of raising funds for the erection of modern and beautiful structure at East Lake.
 The new church will be located at the corner of Seventy street and Underwood avenue, exactly two blocks from the present location of the old church building.
 and it is hoped, according to the aus thorities, to have 1t completed by this time next year.
 These announcements were given out by D. E. Mckinley, a member of one of the five teams which will take the field for. one day only on the morning of May to raise the necessary funds for the erection of the church
 The site for the church will not be purchased out of the funds. It has al- really been secured having been do- mated by the heirs of the Wood estate the original owners being one of the earliest settlers of that community.
 Dr. N. A. Barrett, president of the city commission, is general chairman of all the teams that will take the field on the morning of May to make general canvass of Birmingham.
 As the plans are now, the church will cost in the neighborhood of $75,0O0. It will be modern in every re- spect, but will represent the ideas of the members of Ruhama Baptist church during the past 100 years that it has been in existence.

Aduertising q Guarantee
 or Merchandise Quality

But advertising is not alone regarded by the buyer as guarantee. The adver- tiser, himself, realizes that in addi- ton to selling a commodity, advertls- ing is an insurance policy that protects against dull seasons, show moving stocks and competition and in other ways guarantees a continued demand at times when non advertisers have to struggle to keep their heads above water.
 Therefore, advertising is not only a guarantee to the buyer but it guar antees to the seller a demand for the commodity or service sold which en- ables the seller to offer the buyer a quality of service that would be inn possible for the manufacturer to af- ford if he had a precarious market.
 He who is in the position of 8 seller should take into serious consideration both the tangible, direct results re- ceived from advertising and it's indi- rect, though none the less valuable results, such as the building up good will, the stablizing of markets and the impression that advertising creates with the consuming public that the commodity or service advertised is guaranteed by the very fact that it is advertised.
 While there undoubtedly are men ad- vertising manufacturers who are en- tirely reliable to deal with and who manufacture commodities that are good values for the prices asked, there unfortunately have been placed upon the market a number of inferior com modities which were not advertised because no sound repeat business could be built up for them through advertising Consequently the consum- ing public is becoming wary of the unbranded, unadvertised just as good"r commodity and demands the known, advertised brands, backed by manufacturers who evidently have faith. in themselves and what they manufacture. If you can guarantee what you have to sell, you can ad- vertise profitably. If your goods are inferior and your prices high. keep away from advertising.

 More and more people are coming antee of the quality of the merchandise and the reliability of the manufacturer or seller. It is true that mediocre merchandise can be sold through good advertising, but the average person is beginning to realize that poor mer- chandise can be sold only at such a prohibitive advertising cost that in the long run, it is not worth while for poor merchandise to be advertised.
 It is also realized by the consuming g public that a manufacturer or mer- chant who advertises year after year could not afford to carry on a con- tinuous advertising campaign if the manufacturer or the merchant did not treat customers satisfactorily after obtaining them, for it would be a most expensive and short-sighted policy to go the expense of obtaining new GUS toners through advertising and then not keeping them.
 Reputable advertising mediums will not accept advertising which they know is fraudulent or misleading As a result, the readers of publication have confidence in the publications advertisers and in the commodities which are advertised.
 The good will' that is built up through years of advertising is one of the advertisers valuable assets, often times more valuable than any other tangible or intangible asset the advertiser has. Because of the actual sales value of this good will" the ad- vertiser will not do anything that might tend to jeopardize 1t. This means that what the advertiser tells ito the. readers of shis advertisements must be true if the good will is to be enhanced instead of decreased or lost, and this is but one more reason peo- pie are fast coming to regard ad- vertising as guarantee of quality and reliability

NATIONAL HOSPITAL DAY |S MAY 12TH Infirmaries of City to Feature Event-Want Cheerful
 Visitors

Observance of National Hospital Day in Birmingham, May 12, accord ing to Mrs. Frances Golightly, state chairman of the committee on prepa- rations, will be extensive, every local infirmary participating.
 Interest already Is being shown by citizens. Volunteered cooperation greets the committee in making this day a success. Downtown shops will decorate their windows. The anniver- sary of Florence Nightengale, mother of modern methods employed in pres- ent-day hospitals. promises to be in Birmingham, as well as in other cities of the state and nation, one to be re- mem bered and effective of a better un- derstanding of the desired relations between the public and authorities of infirmaries in general
 ALL INTERESTED
 Miss Helen Mclean superintendent of the Fraternal hospital. is chairman of the committee in Jefferson county. Miss Mclean reports acknowledgment of others institutions of the city of their plans to participate with pro- grsmmes and open houses. At the Bir- mingham infirmary, from to 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon, graduating exercises will be held. A musical pro- gramme is arranged; several speakers, fro 1t1d Dr uS Dominick, will be heard. The public is invited to attend.
 Mrs Golightly, in commenting on the subject of National Hospital Day. says: There exists at present a belief that the presence of visitors in hospitals is an annoyance For this reason, many people who otherwise would visit pa tient friends and relatives. stay away. And when they venture in, it is with feeling that they are imposing on the good nature of the authorities.
 CHEERFUL VISITORS
 This is contrary to our intent, and this is exactly what we want to make clear to the people. Rather than dis suade relatives and friends from com ing in during visiting hours, we well come it. We want to encourage it. The supposed idea that about a hospital an atmosphere of sadness should and does abound is erroneous. Cheer and op- timism are two of the necessary expe. dients to a patients nasty recovery. Instead of suppressing the patient. att tendants at all times maintain a cheer full morale and it is our wish that visitors do the same.
 However" concluded Mrs. Golightly, "it is because of the ignorance con cerning us. and our policies existent this day has been set aside. and we hope to obviate all misunderstanding and promote for the future. happy and cordial relation between the hos pitals and the people. If this can be done, we will feel compensated for all our efforts.
