Hundreds Now Testify That HERB JUICE Makes the Get ting Back to Health a Simple Process.

With faith born of experience, and with confidence in the permanence of the cures, hundreds are testifying to the wonders of HERB JUICE. Each day adds to the joyful throng of those who sing it's praises.
 Among the many endorsing HERB JUICE is the endorsement of Mrs. M. V. Jackson, who resides at 6607 Geor- gia Road, Birmingham. Mrs. Jackson is widely known and is very conserv- ative, but when it comes to telling of her experience and the benefit she re- ceived after taking HERB JUICE,~ she grew very enthusiastic. Mrs. Jackson had this to say:
 q have suffered for years from rheumatism. The pains in my back and limbs caused me so much pain that could hardly sleep at night. In fact, have not enjoyed good nights rest for years.
 "My digestion was bad and suffered a great deal with pains in my side and chest.

EARLY MORNING CLASS

American University Finds 1885
O'Clock Popular in Summer, But
Winter May Be Different.

Most of the students at American
University are employed in government
departments. and as a result they must
do their collegiate work before O'Clock
In the morning or after 4:30 in the
afternoon. The university has always
offered few courses at the early
morning hour, but this season 1t Be
came necessary to schedule a greater
proportion than usual for 735 am 1t
was with some misgivings that the
plan was adopted, for it means getting
d pretty early start in the morning to
reach the university building and have
breakfast before the class begins.
The results have shown that the plan
met with high favor, for the early
morning classes have been the most
popular ones offered at the university.
They average considerably larger than
those at the later hours in the day.
The university officials suspect how
ever, that although the policy works
out at this season of the year, there
might be another story to tell if morn
ing courses were introduced extensively
during the term that begins in jan
uary.
Many members of the faculty are en-
joying long vacations. DR.. Paul Kauf-
man plans to be away for four months
and DR.. Frederick Juchhoff has gone
to Chicago and other midwestern points
for a long stay. Chancellor Clark in

PROHIBITION is SCORED
BY KINGS PHYSICIAN
Lord Dawson Says Liquor May Be
Benefit Rather Than Harm
to Race.
}y the Associate Press.

By the Associa ted Press.
LONDON, July 5.-Lord Dawson of
Penna, the kings physician, entered
the lists against prohibition, when
the Bishop of Oxford's control bill
was debated on it's second reading in
the House of Lords this week. He
drew a vivid picture of the results
of effacing the effects of a glass of
an alcoholic beverage at the end of
a hard days work and asserted I'VE
haven't any right to do anything
which would diminish cheerfulness
and sociability of the world"
Ridiculing the idea that liquor was
a narcotic, Lord Dawson said that a
large majority of members of the
medical profession were of opinion
that it was useful and beneficial
substance in the proper quantities at
the proper times. Can it be said
that we should have had some of our
finest literature, paintings and poetry
on a ginger beer regime" he asked.
During the debate, which often was
heated, the Earl of Birkenhead seized
the opportunity for another fling at
prohibition in the United States,
general violation of the law on the
part of all classes. Lord Buckmas-
ter, on the other hand, asserted that
since the Volstead act had been
passed. the jails had been emptied,
savings deposits had increased, in
dustrial efficiency had been promoted
and a higher level of comfort had
been attained for women and children.
The bill is foredoomed to failure,
according to observers, but has had
the effect of focusing public opinion
on the question. Its proponents be-
Iieve that it will eventually result in
the passage of some measure for
further control of liquor sales. The
present measure provides that the in
habitants of each locality shall vote

troll or no change.

tion at Allahabad, ready for the flight
the next day to Ambala. Just before
sunrise on the morning of July 2,
the three airplanes of the American
expedition eircled over the airdrome
and the City of Allahabad and started
northwest toward Delhi and Ambala.
$50 miles away. 1t was originally
contemplated that the flight would
land at Delhi. but after Lieut.. Hal
verson, the advance officer for the
fourth division. through which the
flight is now passing, had made an
inspection of the landing field at
Delhi he decided against the use of
the airdrome there on account of its
restricted area and the fact that the
royal air force was only using the
field as an emergency station, and
altered the itinerary of the flight to
take in Ambala, $50 miles farther
north. which has an excellent air
drome and possesses every facility
for the convenience OF the flyers The
fight, however. passed directly over
Delhi en- route to Ambala.
At one time Delhi was the largest
city in India, covering space of
twenty square miles and having a
population of about two million. 1t
is now reduced in circumference 10
seven miles and in population TO a
little over 100000. A vast tract COW
cred with ruins marks the extent Of
the ancient metropolis of The Mogul
rounded by walls of red sandstone
thirty feet high. There are seven
colossal archel gates surrounded by
rounded bulwarks. The palace of the
great mogul, built by Shah Jehan,
is " far the most imposing and mag
nificent building in Delhi, and per-
haps the most wonderful structure
of its kind in India.
Phantom OF Past.
n;t -
capital of India and the supreme
government was transferred there
from Calcutta. The city, though a
monument of the past, Is only a
phantom of its former great affiu-
ence.
The flight landed at Ambala after
five hours and twenty minutes in the
air, covering the distance from Ala
habad at the rate of ninety-three and
one-half miles per hour in spite of
numerous thunder and rain storms
which they were forced to pass
through en- route. The flight is now
passing through that portion of in
terror India which is subject to the
southwest monsoon in the summer.
which is always accompanied by
heavy electrical storms and torren-
tial rains. Due to the terrific heat on
July the engine in Lieut.. Nelson's
plane, the cruiser New Orleans.
cracked water jacket, and al
though considerable water was lost
before Ambala was reached, he
landed safely and none the worse for
his experience.
The landing field is within the can
tonment of the British Indian army
The officers of the royal air force
met the American flyers with the
same cordality which their brother
officers had accorded the Americans
at Allahabad. Every facility of the
British airdrome was made available
for the American aviators, and the
slight damage to the cruiser New
Orleans was quickly repaired.
Difference in People.
At Ambala the changing character
of the native population will be
noted. The "up-country" man is en-
countered, many of these being Mo-
hammedans and all of them more
outstanding and martial in their bear
ing than their countrymen farther
