"Money Applied to Judson Dent
Marion, May 28.-<8pecial.)-Dr. P. V.
ftomar, in discussing the year's work at
Judson, said:
"The institution has more than paid Its
' expenses tills year. Almost $8000 has been
raised and applied to tlie Judson debt.
The money cleared by the school lias
been applied to some debts to save in
terest, with the understanding we are to
borrow it back to make necessary im
provements on the property."
It is estimated that the savings of the
year were $2000.
Dr. A. J. Dickinson, a member of
the board of trustees, spoke enthusiasti
cally of the present condition of the In
stitution. In fact, he was so encouraged
t>y the work of the Alumnae association
as to suggest the Idea of electing a lady
board of trustees with the view of finally
turning the entire property over to the
women of the state; but no one connected
with the school seriously considers such
a move. Dr. Dickinson will, at the next
eession of the state Baptist convention,
Introduce a resolution to employ for both
Judson and Howard college, a professor
each who shall give his entire time to
the teaching of the Bible, and the salaries
are to be paid by the convention.
Senior Class Play
The senior class play given tonight
tinder senior oak was a Greek sketch
composed by the class In which they
nought to prove that under this tree
all seniors in the past have received
their inspiration and under which, it
li believed, some soul or nymph or
dryad still lingers
The play was given in three parts
by "The Mortal Nine" members of the
class. First the twilight, then the
midnight, and last the dawn, In which
each one received the inspiration best
adapted to her poetical temperament;
and in which offering of the flowers of
Incense to "senior oak" for the spirit
of all seniors who have ever gathered
there is made, the symbols of the
muses were left for future seniors.
Most Backache Suffering
Due to Disordered Kidneys
In the removal of waste material from
the body, the kidneys are railed upon to
perform a very important duty. The
i. failure of these marvelous and delicate
ly constructed tubuleB to properly do
their work means retention in the sys
tem of poisonous matter. This pollutes
the body, and if permitted to remain re
sults in severe backache, pains, loss of
appetite, headache, torpid liver, con
stipation, Indigestion, sleeplessness,
rheumatism, and eventually Bright's
disease.
About 37 years ago Warner's Safe

ALABAMA WILL BE
ILL REPRESENTED
Cowart Expects to Secure
$100,000 for Purpose.
Hoge Here
As a result of a conference held yes
terday In Birmingham between Bee
Cowart, state immigration commission
er, and Frank G. Iloge, United States
commissioner for the Panama-Pacific
international exposition, it is a settled
fact that Alabama will be well repre
sented at the exposition in San Fran
cisco next year.
“At the present time," said Mr. Cow
art, "I have secured $30,000 for this
pm pose, and about to close contracts
which will add another $*10,000. I be
lieve that the sum in the end will
be $100,000. We will have an Ala
bama building, and all the products
of this great state will be put on ex
hibition. I am in favor of carrying
Vulcan to the fair and believe that
with tills giant man standing on a pe
destal of sufficient height to do him
justice, Alabama will receive much
very valuable advertising."
Mr. Iloge expressed delight in that
every southern state was responding
in patriotic manner, a guarantee as
he expressed it, "that the garden spot
of the world" will be on display.
“I have received today," said Mr.
Hoge, "telegrams from officials of
eight southern states. All of them as
sure me that activity has been begun
looking to erection of state buildings.
There is no state with more to offer
than Alabama. The opportunity con
fronting Alabama to advertise her
wares and induce the immigration of
worthy people from all other sections
of the country is unlimited. I antici
pate that Alabama will have its build
ing and its building filled with pro
ducts, mineral and agricultural and
mechanical, and that as a result much
good v ill accrue to this one of the
greatest states in natural resources.”
Mr. Iloge declared that the outlook
for the exposition was most brilliant.
• There is no question," he added, "but
that the exposition will be the most
magnificent ever offered In the history
of the world."
DEANSHIP ABOLISHED
AT FLORENCE NORMAL
Florence, May 23.—(Special.)—The ofTIcs
of dean In the state normal school here
was created In order to relieve the late
Dr. Powers of all the heavy work con
nected with the school. Dr. J. B. Game
has tilled that position faithfully and
well, but inasmuch as the state hoard
passed resolutions requiring uniformity
upon ull lines of work in the four Class
A schools, it was necessary to discon
tinue the office of dean in the normal
school at Florence. It is very gratifying
to the friends of Dr. Game to know he
will still be connected with the school, as
the board elected him to the chair of
modern languages.
Going Deaf?
Good News!
An engineer who had ear trouble for
years, finally became so deaf he could
not hear the sound of a steam engine,
bells or voices. After vainly seeking
relief he was compelled to give up his
position. His case seemed hopeless.
His deafness was aggravated by head
disturbances, dry catarrh, nervousness
and despondency.
To the surprise 'of all, he began to
bear and continued improving until he
could listen to conversations, could
hear a train at a distance and even the
singing of the birds in the trees. His
head and nerves became tranquil. He |
got his position back again. This was I
no miracle; no surgery, no artificial
hearing devices, no electric apparktus,
no loss of time.
Whoever is becoming deaf can obtain
particulars free by writing to Edward
Gregory, 142 H, Forbes St., Jamaica
Plain, Mass., enclosing a stamped self*
addressed envelope. He will tell you
how he and many others have been

A\ Known Alabamian Dis
cusses Politics While So
journing at Hot Springs
for a Short Time
Hot Springs, Ark., May 23.—(Special.)
That Oscar Underwood, recently nomi
nated and elected United States senator
from Alabama, will some day have the
high honor of being nominated for Pres
ident of the United States by the demo
cratic party, was the statement made by
Senator-elect Underwood’s friend, J. Lee
Long, of Greenville, who for the past 20
years has been prominently Identified
with democratic politics in that state.
Mr. Long is accompanied to this city
by his wife, his two nieces, Miss Alien I
Jones, also of Greenville, and Mrs. J. M. !
Anderson of Montgomery. Jack Bolling I
of Greenville is also with the party, and j
during their sojourn here Mrs. M. H. |
Dickerson of Forest City, Ark., was their,
guest. They are registered at the Ar
lington hotel. They, however, are not the
only residents of Alabama who are so
journing in tliis city. Mrs. J. Pollock and
daughter of Mobile and F. B. Simon of
Birmingham are also registered at the
Arlington.
Hot Springs has a warm place In Its
heart for Oscar Underwood, who has
made it a point to visit the famous Ar
aansas Spa wnenever ne can nnu me op
portunity to do so, tfnd immediately alter
ms Humiliation lor Linted States senator
a congratulatory telegram, wnicu was
signed by a laige numoer of tile leading
citizens and onlcials of tne Business
Men s league, was wired him, to which
lie made immediate response.
"i have known Mr. Underwood for 20
years,” said Mr. Long, and consider him
one of the big men ot the country. Some
day Oscar Underwood will be nominated
lor President of the United States, ft is
my opinion, too, that if he had received
the nomination instead of Wilson Mr. L'n
uerwood would have made a better Presi
dent than Woodrow Wilson. We would
not have had Mr. Bryan, who is striving
to win the Noble peace prize, and who
has disgraced every citizen ol the United *
States by his peaceful tactics in the Mex
ican controversy. What Bryan should
have done would have been to serve no
tice on Mexico that it one drop of Amer
ican blood WiU' spilled in Mexico the
United States would blow them from the I
lace of the earth. As it is. his policy lias '
shamed the American people.
“Bryan is a theorist and a dreamer. 1
was a member of the convention that
nominated him in 1908 and L was in his
home city later. In conversation with
a man who runs a garage in Lincoln I
was struck by what that citizen said of
Bryan. The man told me that he was a
republican but intended to vote for »ryan
because he lived In Bryan’s home town,
but he said that Bryan never had the
ability while engaged in the practice of
law in Lincoln to impress a jury, lie al
ways made a flowery speech, but it gen
erally lacked conviction and
was usually against him.”
Mr. Long stated there were two great
things that Wilson, however, had ac
complished. One was the reduction of the
tariff and the pther was the new cur
rency law.
“For years we have been talking about
reducing the tariff, but it was never re
duced until Wilson became President,"
said Mr. Long. “The new currency law
Is one of the best measures that was ever
passed. It takes the power away from
Wall street it formerly possessed and Is
a remarkable exemplification of progres
sive legislation."
Mr. Long also stated that, while he ex
pected to be more or less active in poli
tics, he had determined never to offer for
any office. He has served on the state
: and county committee and for eight years
was chairman of the state tax commis
sion.
"I have reached that stage In life,” he
declared, ‘when it behooves me to devote
my activities to making a little money."
He is at present engaged in the real
office in Greenville a branch office In
Birmingham.
"I regret very much that business neces
sitates my return this week." he said. "T
was troubled with rheumatism In one of
my feet, but your wonderful baths have
knocked that out of me. <r'1*
may manufacture their baths, hut
only real ones, to my way of thinking, are
to be found here. This city has the
greatest water in the world. Tho ladies
are not inclined to return with me. I
, heard them talking about remaining here
a little longer and It Is probable that I
, will have to make the trip home alone.”

The Value of Life
You trust your banker with your money, your broker with your busi- j
ness, your friends with your secrets, your druggist with your life. In
all your business dealings you are looking for the safest and most reliable firms to deal
with... Your money and property you guard carefully; then why be so reckless with your
life? Why place your life in the hands of a druggist who is lax in business methods?
whose store is neglected and unclean? whose employes are idlers and oftentimes incom
petent. No one can do two things at the same time and do either well. Are you willing to
have your prescriptions filled by a man who talks and loafs with his friends while com
pounding your prescriptions? If so, you value your life as worth far less than your prop
erty. Have your doctor phone your prescriptions ter Norton’s Drug Store, where all work
is carefully handled in a clean and up-to-date store.

Weather Conditions
Birmingham, May 23.—(7 p. m.)—The
weather is fair over nearly all central,
eastern and southern sections, and cloudy
areas are confined mostly to Florida and
the lake states. In the Missouri valley,
tile northern Rockies and the north Pa
cific states the weather is unsettled and
light rainfall was fairly well distributed.
The weather changes noted In the north
west are taking place In front of a low
presstire center that cross the Rocky
Mountains today. With its eastward de
velopment it is probable that the unset
tled and showery weather will cross the
northern edge of the country. Little
change In conditions is expected in the
south, but the light, variable winds and
slowly decreasing atmospheric pressure
are favorable for the formation of scat
tered local thundershowers.
With the exception of the eastern lake
■tates, where relatively low temperatures
prevail, the readings are somewhat higher
tonight over the greater portion of the
country. Changes were slight, however,
and a condition about the normal for the
season prevails In most of Alabama. There
will be little temperature change In this
state Sunday or Monday, except such as
may occur with possible thundershowers.
