Pile Sufferers
Can You Answer These Questions?

fNAN0NhOA--N
Do you know why ointments do not
give you quick and lasting relief?
Why cutting and operations fail?
Do you know the cause of piles is
internal?
That there is stagnation of blood
in the lower bowel?
Do you know that there is a harm
less remedy discovered by DR.. Leon
hardt and known as HEM-ROID,
now sold by The Clark & Brainerd
Co. and druggists generally, that is
guaranteed?
HEM-RoID banishes piles by re-
moving the cause. by freeing blood
circulation in the lower bowel. This
simple home treatment has an almost
unbelievable record for sure, safe and
lasting relief to thousands of pile sick
sufferers. There is no reason why il

AUBREY MILLER TO BE OUT OF PANTHER LINEUP TODAY
WILDCATS TIE O-O WITH SIMPSON HI

The Purple Tornado of Simpson Tech and Jefferson County High bat tied ,to a 0-0 tie Friday afternoon on the field of the Wildcats at Boyles. The Wildcats outplayed the Tornado. which was never able to get the ball out of their own territory during the first half and threatened but once, at which time the Jefferson County line stiffened up and held for downs.
 Two times the Wildcats tried for field goals, only to fail. R. Taylor missed a drop kick by inches in the second quarter. The kick was made from the 20-yard line.
 The game was clean and hard fought
 The outstanding stars of the game for the Wildcats were Barton, who was successful in his bunting and breaking up plays that came his way; Dismukes, captain and center who broke through several times to throw men for losses; Marsh at tackle, who also crashed through the opponents line, and Taylor at quarter The showing of the team as a whole was pleasing to Coach DeYampert, and doped to lose the Wildcats staged a surprise and held the Tornado down to a zephyr.
 For Simpson Capt. Red" Hickman and Vincent were the backfield stars while White, Cunningham, Iahan and Wilkins starred in the line.

JUNIOR COLONIES TO PLAY ANNISTON
Team Leaves City Saturday Morning For Scene Of
 Game

The Woodlawn High leaves <the city this morning for Anniston, where they play Anniston High school today. The Junior Colonels will go up against a strong team in Anniston and will be without their greatest star. Bancroft who hurt his side in practice this week. The team will be in fairly good shape so far as the other men of the team and their condition are concerned. Maxwell will be at left end, Cawthorn at left , tackle and Wick English, who has gotten over his illness which caused his removal from the game with Ems ley High at Redwood last Saturday, will be at his guard again. Knight will hold down center and Clark will be depended upon to play as great game at his guard as he did in the Ensley game. Jones will be right tackle in good shape as usual and will have Chandler instead of Sem tell to take care of the end position alongside of him.
 Sentell is off the squad and out of school on account of some trouble about his credits. Levy will have an opportunity to star even more than he has heretofore as he will be given the responsibility of running the team and it will be seen If he can measure up to such a task in as fine form as he has so far shown in every other athletic opportunity that has been in the past.
 Burns will be at full as he has been in nearly all the games this season, but his condition is the best that it has been since the game with the Alabama Reserves when he got little too much punishment.
 Larkin will be back at his place at half again and from his practice work this week ought to be going good. Poe will be at the other half and will probably show up to better advantage than he has this season. as he has been developing slowly and at all time showing a world of nerve and fight. especially for man of his weight.
 Griffin and Nunnally went along as extra back field men and the fol- lowing substitute linemen were taken: Allen, Higgins, Wilson and Sudduth. Manager Webb and Coaches Hood and Kelly made up the party

After d final light workout Fri day afternoon the Wearers of the Gold and Black from Birmingham Southern will be ready to meet the Howard Bulldog at Redwood this afternoon in the annual Panther Bulldog clash. which is expected to be the biggest fight of the season in Birmingham.
 The Panther will go into battle crippled-but it is the wounded Panther which fights better. Aubrey Miller. star quarterback of the Panther team will be out of the game and probably out of uniform on ac- count Of a strained shoulder which will keep him entirely out of action as he has been unable to lift his arm during the past two days.

 Hoyt Levie will be at the pivot position with Rip" Rawls as assist ant and "Cyclops" Evans coming next in dine for service.

 Capt Floss" Candy will be at his old place on the wing with Joe Whiteside, who made his recent de- but as a flankman, as a working partner. John Candy will also come in for some hard work at the end of the line as will Price Howell, in all probability. "Nutsey" Malloy and Don Fullbright are also in reserve for that position in case more than two substitutes are needed.
 Pep meetings and enthusiasm have featured the Southern days for some time and the student body will be united in it's determination to back the team in the final battle of the season.

DON'T KNOW FAMILY
No Affection Shown For Parents In Moscow Children's QuestiOnnaire

Moscow Children's Questionnaire
 A uuestionnaire circulated among young people working in one Of the large Moscow factories dealt with their attitude Coward family ties. Several of the replies indicated con siderable confusion in the young per sons minds as to what family really was.
 Some confessed that they did not know. No one spoke of a family as a circle dear to ones heart, where one lives among Kindred who under stand and love him. Most of the re- plies indicated little tenderness for the mother. She is defined as "an educator" or "a person having authority" or "a manager or "a housekeeper," or "a cook" Fifty four young persons gave the last of these definitions.
 If the answers showed little evil dence of affection for the mother they showed no indication whatever of this sentiment for the father. In every instance he was defined as the family manager" the food pro vider," the worker" or by some kindred term.
 Communists interpret these an- swers as proof that the children brought up under modern industrial conditions never learn what family life and family sentiment are. Critics of the present regime in Russia at tribute the character of the replies to the fact that young workers spend most of their time, when not at the factory, at their clubs and in other communist organizations, and not only see little home life, but grow up in an atmosphere unfavorable to its development-Livi Age.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 23,-Effort of the Georgia Bulldogs to stem the surging Crimson Tide of Alabama at Montgomery tomorrow will focus the attention of southern football enthusiasts as the grid season hears it's close.

 Florida will greet the Mississippi Aggies at Jacksonville and Missis- sippi university goes to Knoxville to engage the Tennessee Volunteers. Both Mississippi teams are expected to wage losing battles. according to the dope. In the other conference game Tulane and Louisiana State university mix at New Orleans, with the record book favorlnk Tulane

 Auburn and Tech are out of the game this weekend, prepping for their battle here on Thanksgiving. Virginia. " M. L, " P. l., Kentucky and North Carolina are other con ference teams remaining off the field until next week.
