DOCTORS STILL LIMITED
Number of Liquor Permits Not In-
 creased By New Regulations
By Associated Press

Washington, November 5.-Despite new treasury regulations allowing physicians to issue an unlimited mum ber of prescriptions for beer, they will be held to the old maximum of 100 prescriptions every three months, Commissioner Haynes said today.
 Regulations covering physicians prescriptions, Mir. Haynes explained, limits them to 100 a quarter and will apply whether the doctors pre- scribe whisky, wine or beer, or some of all of these remedies MT. Haynes added that he saw no reason for changing the old rule.
 A decrease of about s12,00o,000 in taxes collected on non-beverage dis titled spirits during July, August and September, as compared with the cor responding months of last year. was announced today by Mr.. Haynes.
 During those months of this year revenue derived from this source amounted to s15,3S0.647 as compared with s27.106,911 during the same months last year. This reduction, MT. Haynes explained, was caused by a falling off In the withdrawals of alcohol and so-called non-beverage distilled spirits from warehouses there being reduction of more than 5000 withdrawal permits in complete as compared with the previous months

In Anniston there Is in course of construction one of the most unique and beautiful hospitals in the world.
 There are hospitals here in Ala bama which cost more than the Susie P. Stringfellow Memorial will cost, as large as will be the outlay for it before 1t is completed. as she left her great estate to make 1t in every way worthy of the people among whom she lived and loved, and who held her in such high per- sonal esteem for her charming per sonality, broad culture and generous nature.
 Seldom has there been such a con- genial couple as MT. and Mrs W. w. Stringfellow. Comrades in everything they got joy out of one another and in giving joy to others; and now that she is gone he is striving as best he can to carry out her wishes in re gard to the erection of a hospital for the Annistonians which with every modern and necessary equipment for an up- date one will at the same time be more like a home than an in- stitution.
 Leaving her fortune for the pur- pose, with a provso that her hus- band should enjoy the income of the estate during his lifetime, he is find ing his greatest pleasure in spending 1t while living in beautifying the grounds and otherwise adding to the charm of the buildings. It Is easy enough for one endowed with riches
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-11-06

to set apart a large sum for a hos pital to be extended by architects contractors and landscape artists. This is frequently done.
 But MT. Stringfellow is giving time. thought and money by putting his life into the carrying out of great plan wonderfully well conceived and started by his wife. We speak of a minister being called to his work, but people are also called for other purposes. This is why the Lord raised up the husband and wife to do beautiful and needed thing in a lovely way in order that humanity through them might be blessed.
 Coming from distinguished fami- lies and blessed with wealth, instead of spending their lives in the mar rowing rounds of society for which by birth and training they were emi- nently fitted. while enjoying social intercourse and given to hospitality, yet they walked together harmoni- ously in desire to enrich themselves both materially and spiritually in or der that they might be better pre- pared for d large service to their fel- low man.
 There is no use setting down here that for years MT. Stringfellow was the president of the First National bank of Annston. or to record the other great enterprises in which he had his part. It is only necessary to state that for a quarter of century i he has been intimately connected with the upbuilding in material way with the Model City and has left | his mark on all of it's civic and com mercal activities.
 Twelve years ago he retired from | the presidency of the bank in order

It was like being transported to the wilds of the sapphire country with mountain upon mountains and no house in sight
 Conserve Natural Beauty The completed administration building crowns wooded hill, and in the grounds are many acres which are being treated in the best way to conserve their naturalness by the planting of such wild flowers and shrubs and grasses as will grow nat urally and be in keeping with the surroundings. Workmen were deep into the creation of an Italian gar den and adjoining them arose the cement walls of the main hospital, which win have 60 beds. There will be a formal garden with pergoiss and beds of roses and potted plants connecting 1t with the administra- tion building.
 Not hospital in the ordinary sense, with it's institutlon-like ap- pearance, but restful home, with | magnificent vistas, the sight of wild | flowers the smell of roses and Vio- lets, the carpets of grass, the way ing of oaks and the signing of pines the singing of birds, and the restful- ness of the eternal hills, For this is what the Susie P. Strngfellow Me morla1" will be, carrying down the years the aroma of a beautiful life and giving to her husband day by day as he carries on an ever-present memory of the woman who walked by his side through life.

Il A new carburetor which cuts down gasoline consumption of any motor land reduces gasoline bills from one- third to one-half is the proud achievement of the Air-Friction Car
 buretor Co.,, 253 Madison St., Dayton, lOhio. This remarkable invention not
 only increases the power of motors from 30 to 50 per cent. but enables everyone to run slow on high gear. It also makes 1t easy to start Ford
 or any other car in the coldest |lweather. You can use the very
 cheapest grade of gasoline or half gasoline and half kerosene and still lget more power and more mileag ge than you now get from the highest Itest gasoline. All Ford owners can Iget as high as 34 miles to gallon Iof gasoline. So sure are the manu- fa acturers of the immense saving their mew carburetor will make that they offer to send 1t on 30 days trial to every car owner. As 1t can be put lon or taken off in a few minutes by Ianyone all readers of this paper who |Iwant to try it should send their |iname, address and make of car to l. the manufacturers at once.

that he and his wife might spend happy months and years in home and foreign travel. It seems that 1t was abroad when the great idea came to Mrs. Stringfellow as to the final dis position of her estate. Fortunately her purposes were heartily entered into by her husband and so while seeing foreign lands the hospital was ever taking shape.
 First Unit Completed
 1t seems strange that the unsel- fish dream of lovely woman should have failed of realization before death called her, and yet 1t must be a comforting thought to her hus- band that she lived long enough to at least see the first unit completed. The picture gives the administration building, which is fitted out as a resi- dence, and which Is filled with the rarest treasures from the four guar ters of the globe selected by Mir. and Mrs. Stringfellow.

National Wholesale Association te
 Intervene In Packers Case

Washington. November 5.-Premis- sion to intervene in the packer di- vorcement case was granted the na- tional wholesale grocers association today by Justice Stafford of the Dis trict of Columbia supreme court.
 The court recently denied motion of the government to strike out an order permitting the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association to in- tervene, but did not act at that time on the application of the national association, The intervention granted today, the court asserted, was for the same purpose and to the same extent as allowed the southern association. merely to be heard in opposition to any proposed change in the decree divorcing the packers from non -allied industries which would deprive the wholesale grocers of the protection now obtained by that decree.

GINNING FIGURES ID

Data on Average Bale Weight and Gins Operating Be-
 ing Gathered
By Associated Press

Washington. November 5-Census
 bureau statistics regarding average bale weights of cotton ginned will
 be available soon. Director Stewart
 today informed Senator Harris, dem ocrat, Georgia The director also sad ! it would be impracticable for the ba- reau to obtain information regarding the number of cotton gins closed and operating on short time.
 \ Anyone familiar with the hand ling of the cotton crop is aware" said Director Stewart, in a memoran- dunn to Senator, Harris, that the ar rival at satisfactory average bale
 weight Is a matter of considerable detail. Should the bureau attempt to secure from the ginner an average
 weight. he would in most instances say the average is 500 pounds, 495 pounds, 470 pounds, 525 pounds or some other round number, which might or might not approximate the facts
 "To obtain more reliable data, the bureau has it's special agents obtain each the statistics of lots of cotton. Together with the weight in each lot Ion which money is passed, thereby insuring accuracy. These bale weigh : statistics are usually obtained from the sellers of cotton where num- lber of bales are sold at one time. lThis method insures the compilation H of satisfactory averages for several lyears.
 The bureau has heretofore been obtaining these bale weights with the November 1 and January l reports of cotton ginned, it being considered impracticable to obtain these weights at each ginning report. However, in 1f ha rnndtfinna q existing at the present time, the Mo-
 vember 1 report has been moved up to October IS. and as a result it is pr obable that average weights for the several states will be available early Hin November.

Personal Liberty Defined

Blackstone, the great English law
commentator, whose writings every
lawyer has to study, give the follow
ing definition of personal liberty:
personal liberty consists in the
power of Iocomotion, of changing stu
alton, of removing ones person to
whatever place ones own inclination
may direct, without restraint unless
by due course of law"
As Prohibition has restored rather
than restricted this power, any one

President In Bad Company

President Harding spent over last
Saturday night in the woods at Han
cock, Md. In the camp was Thomas
a. Edison and John Firestone. To
think that President Harding would
hobnob with such a bad man as Henry
Ford.
Two years ago he ran on the Demo-
cratic ticket for U. S. Senator in
Michigan. If you will turn back and
read the objections to his election you
will learn that Henry Ford was a wild
eyed dream who went on a peace mis-
sion in 1917 to get the boys out of the
trenches before Christmas. He was
declared to be a socialist, anarchist
and a wild eyed schemer unfit to sit
in the U. S. Senate beside Warren G..
Harding, Henry Cabot Lodge and
others. About 5000, 900 were spent to
defeat him, and Trueman Newberry
was declared elected and has since
been under Indictment for bribery.
If Henry Ford had been elected it
would have given the Democrats one
majority in the U. S. Senate. That
would have given Woodrow Wilson
control of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee to report the Peace Treaty. II
would have given che Democrats con
troll Of the purse Strings OF the narion
and the administration would not have
been hamstrung and the financial
blight of contraction ordered by Wall
Street financiers put on the nation.
By contraction more wealth has
destroyed and people ~bankrupted than
was lost by the World War.
About six months ago Wall Street
bankers called on Henry Ford and
told him they were ready to loan fifty
millions of dollars and would select
his treasurer. Henry, the wild anar
chist showed the Wall Street banker
the door and financed his own com
pany thru his local agents and then
local banks.
The trouble with Henry and the
reason he was proclaimed a socialist
and anarchist was because Wall Street
did not own him, neither did they con
troll the U. S. treasury under Wilson'S
administration.
Read and study finance and yol
may get an idea what it is.
But since Henry Ford was defeated
he must have gotten better or Presi.
dent Harding would not associate
with him when he was unfit to sit il
U. S. Senate with him.

Silver Dollars In Circulation

After an interval of seven years, the
mint has resumed the coinage of sill
yer dollars, thereby starting to re-
place the 279, 900 900 standard silver
dollars taken from the treasury dur
ing the war to sell to Great Britain.
Since the last of March, 100000
silver dollars have been coined. Dur
ing the same period corresponding
amounts of silver certificates were
issued and Federal Reserve notes and
Treasury certificates, securing them,
retired. This process will probably
continue for the next five years until
the Treasury's reserve of silver dollars
is back to its pre-war basis.
Pittman Act Passed In 1918
In 1914, the mint stopped the coin
age of silver dollars, when the supply
of metal purchased under the coinage
act was exhausted. No authority was
given to make the silver dollar until
1918, when the Pittman Act was pass
ed to enable the United States to sell
silver dollars to England for the re-
lief of the silver famine in India.
In 1918 Great Britain's Mesopotamia
campaign was threatened by the silver
famine in India. Silver, which is In
dia's monetary standard, was boarded
and hidden by the natives in the hills.
The British Government, under war
conditions, could not get the metal to
keep up its silver reserve. Germany,
in an attempt to separate India and
Great Britain and to block England's
plans in Mesopotamia, was spreading
the report that the Government could
not redeem its paper currency.
