TAKE SA[ [TS IF RHE UMATISM |S
 BOTHER|NG Y0U Tells Rheumatic Sufferers to Take Salts to Get Rid of
 Toxic Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex, color or rank If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those sub ject to rheumatism should eat no sweets for awhile, dress as warmly as possible. avoid any undue exposure and above all, drink lots of pure water.
 Rheumatism is caused by uric acid or body waste matter, and is often generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast it out in tho urine the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and slug gish and fail to eliminate this toxic acid which keeps accommodating and circulating through the system, even tually settling in the joints-and mus cles causing stiffness. soreness and pain, called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put tablespoon- ful in glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity remove waste and stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.-Ady.

Dance to Follow WoodIaWn- ; Central and B. A. C.-Tiger :, Games Saturday

Basketball officials of the Bir- mingham Athletic club believe they have billed the most attractive pro- gram of the season for Saturday night, a three-ply entertainment be- ing planned.
 First, there will be a basketball 1 game between Woodlawn and Cen tral, contenders with Ensley for the city championship series. The Wood lawn Central game will be the third of the city championship series, the winner of Saturday nights game to win second place in the standing, as Ensley has won in both of the two games already played. & Second on Saturday nights pro gram will be one of the biggest bas- ketball games of Birmingham's 1923 season, namely, a clash between the B. A. C.. Blues and the Auburn Tig CTS. It will be a return game >be- twen the two, as Auburn was host game that was played Saturday in a fame that was played and won by the Tigers on their home court. To cap the climax of the evening. will be regular old-fashioned bas- ketball dance, announced B. A. c. of f,cals Tuesday. A good jazz iorches-
 
 will be wound up in true terpsicho- rean fashion.
 The B. A. c. has cut down on it's basketball dances this year, but it is probable that all the big games will be followed by such entertainments. Auburn Is always a very popular in- stitution with Birmingham folks. and B. A. c. basketball officials believe that Saturday nights game will out draw any played at the club thus far this season..
 Saturday night should be big one at the B. A. C., asserted Bill Leighton, chairman of the basketball committee, Tuesday. With Central and Woodlawn attracting the inter- est of the younger set, Auburn and the Blues playing to the entire Magic City basketball fandom, and cork ing good dance winding up the eve ming in merry fashion, we expect everything to come our way Satur- day night
 Season tickets will be just as good for Saturday nights three-ply enter tainment as for a single game, an nounced B. A. C. officials.

AUBURN. Ala, Feb. 6.-(Special) The Auburn Tiger cage team re versed the decision of few weeks ago and won over the Infantrymen from Fort Benning by score of 2f

 boys guarding loosely. and the Hut

 the Benning men frightened up in
 their defensive department
 Soon after the referees whistle
 started the hostilities. Captain Dud-
 ley looped pretty one from mid court, which was closely followed by A. Harrison duplicating Dudley's feat.
 Then Hahn counted one.
 Dudley's speed seemed too much for the stalwart doughboy guards. The Khaki Lads were slow in get ting started. and more than five min- utes had elapsed before they had reg istered a try at the netting. Willard was the first to count for the in fantrymen. The first half ended 1S- 8, Auburn's favor.
 The soldiers have evidently adapt ed their play to a small court, as tonight they seemed 10 be at a loss dS lO SLeHStSs anu at tilt of the second period they allowed the
 Tigers to get a counting margin be-
 fore they began scoring, as at the beginning of the contest.
 Brand Star.
 Brand, the elongated center for
 the doughboys. proved to be the shin ing light for the visitors, and added to his accurate and speedy passing, 1 he counted eight points, which lead l the total of any of his teammates. Willard and Vevia, the former count 1 ing four points and the latter five, played jam-up good game, as did | Captain Smith, who was stationed
 at one of the guard jobs
 | Mckinney, at guard, and Hahn at
 forward, tied for scoring honors, each getting eight counters. While Dud- i ley did not lead in the counting, his
 brand of basketball tonight was good and he held his own with the stall

 The Tornado has been idle since its sweep through south Alabama which ended February l. Coach Key holds has been, giving his men ire quent workouts, however, and they will be in good condition for the Bes- semer game despite their recent idle ness. The Tornado staged hard scrimmage in the athletic club gym Tuesday night against Coach Ervin's B. A. c. Blues in preparation for the coming fray. Charlie Vincent an5 Yancey Senn showed much of theiI old-time shooting, while Hubert Car roll displayed his wares as floor man.
 Just how the Tornado will be lined up to start the game is yet uncertain Coach Reynolds made several drafts while on his recent road trip and tie outcome of them makes the person mel of the team doubtful. However it is fairly certain that Vincent, Senn Byrd, Ferguson and Carroll will start the game. These five men can play

 "Dark Horse. of Props
 Bessemer seems to he a dark horse" Little has been heard of them in local sporting circles. They have won all their games this year however" Wenona, Bessemer Pipe Shops, Oak Grove and Alliance are among their victims. They beat the last named team by the score of 31 to 27, while the Tornado won out over it by the score of 23 to 20.
 The entire Bessemer team is com posed of new men, but Coach Collier has picked winning combination and developed it into strong team McNeal at center, stripling of feet 2, who tips the beam at slightly over 1S0 pounds, is one of the best prospects for college basketball in this neck of the woods. He is fairly fast on the floor and a sure shot under the goal.
 Lowrey and Ray are good men al forwards. Edmondson also is de- pendable man. Hatcher and Dennis captain of the football team. have been showing up well at guards Barrett has been used in most of the games also.
 The Besscmer outfit has good team work and boasts of several long, range shooters, who make the five man defense" poor means of pro- teoting the basket. They will give the Tornado a run for its money as they have yet to taste defeat this season. <

 ing much these days, and at A> present Birmingham baseball circles are almost at a standstill. But the stove league is in full session. and some interesting data on the prospective 1923 Barons issues from behind the portals of the league meeting chamber.
 For one thing, it might be safely said that Joe Dunn is counting on giving Birmingham corking good brand of baseball pitching next summer. A strong hur1ing corps, backed by a few hard hitting mates. would go a long ways towards mak- ing Birmingham a strong contender for the gonfalon.
 To begin with. three Baron vet erans will return, in Earl Whitehill. Phil Morrison and Mike Eberhard. Whitehtll was admittedly about the best sodthpaw in the league last year, while all Phil Morrison needed to make him a genuine star was a little control. Joe Dunn believes that will come this year, but that If it doesn't, Phil must go.

Rochester is sending the Barons a speedy young right handler by the name of Cox. who won a majority of his games in the International league last year. Only the influx of new blood on the Rochester team is forcing Cox to the Southern league, stated Walter Hapgood, part owner, in sending the young right handler Dixieward.
 Through Detroit comes most promising young southpaw named Walter Stewart, who has been recommended as a real ball player.
