She Could Hardly Get
Breath—Relieved
By L-V
"A little over two years ago I suf
fered severely with la grippe, and it
w'as followed by a bad cough that gave
me much distress," says Mrs. M. V.
Jackson, 224 N. Sixty-fifth street, Bir
mingham, Ala.
"I had severe pains through my chest
and would cough sometimes until I
could hardly get my breath. About
this time I was induced to try Lung
Vita, which is now called L-V. After
I had taken this medicine f&r four or
five days I began to rest better of nights
and then my cough grew better. By
the time I had used two or three bottles
my cough was entirely gone. My
strength was wonderfully increased
and I had gained nine pounds—I was a
new woman in feeling."

^Lung-Vita, should be carried by your

Proper Treatment
Jfany forms of rheumatism are
; sensed by millions of tiny germs that
: Infest the blood, and until tbe blood
! la absolutely freed of these germs
' there Is no real relief in sight.
And because so many people treat
the pain and not the disease itself, is
. one reason why rheumatism in man)
eases is a permanent disease, increas
j fcpg in severity year by year.
1 . The most satisfactory remedy foi
Rheumatism is S. S. S., because it is

circulars sent out from my office in re
yard to the manner in which druggists ;
and physicians shall use alcohol and In- |
toxicating liquors for strictly medical
purpose*.” said J. K. Dixon, federal pro
hibition director, in a statement issued
. today.
"Under the federal law each druggist
j shall get a permit and give bond in the
I minimum amount of tl.noo. Applications
for these permits are filed with me and
forwarded to and approved by the com
missioner of internal revenue at \t ash
ington.
"No doctor can prescribe or use in his
practice any alcohol unless he holds a
permit to prescribe issued from this of
fice or a permit to purchase for use in
his professional practicef this permit to
be issued from Washington. It seems
under the la<V that each physician is lim
ited to the use of six quarts of alcohol
per annum in his professional practice.
■■After obtaining the permit* above
mentioned druggists have to secure fur
ther permits from this office each time
withdrawals of alcohol are made from
the wholesalers. The wholesalers, to Ob.
tain their supply, must secure like per
mits to withdraw from the distiller
"The privileges given under the per
missive features of this law can be ex
ercised only insofar as they do not con
flic: with the state law. There Is no
way I knW of my which doctors or drug
gists can secure or have in their posses
sion whisky without violating the state
law. The permits issued under the fed
eral law at this time are issued on ap
plications in which the applicant certi
fies that he has not within one year
previous thereto violated any law of the
! United States or any state regulating
the traffic in liquor.
"In my opinion if any doctor Or drug
gist should violate the state law the per
mit given by the commissioner couid be
revoked, just as if the federal law had
been violated. As a matter of fact, no
more alcohol or other intoxicants can be
obtained or used in Alabama under the
permits now being granted than have
heretofore been used. The state law is
in effect and the federal regulations are
simuly additional means ot securing the
enforcement ot the prohibition law.”

COMPLETE PURCHASE
17.000 CASKETS FOR
RETURN ARMY DEAD
By Associated Press
Washington. February 2.—The pur
chase of 1 7,000 gaskets at a cost of
$1,104,308 to be used for the return of
army dead from Europe has been com
pleted by the War Department, in ac
cordance with its announced policy to
return as soon as practicable the
bodies of American soldiers buried in
France to the next of kin, for inter
ment in this country. The manufac
turers were instructed to expedite de
liveries.
The department also made public a
communication from a committee of
the Casket Manufacturers’ Association
of America condemning 'any plan for
the general return of the bodies as
impractical, expensive and unsatisfac
tory.”
“This committee is not seeking in
, any way to establish a market for the
goods produced by the manufacturers
it represents,” the letter said, adding
» that the only purpose of manufacturers
was to facilitate a task th* govern
ment has undertaken and to prevent a
_ serious increase in the prices of raw
k materials used in caskets.

_
I ANSWERS TO PREVIOUS
QUESTIONS
| 1. Do snakes chairm their prey?
I There is probably little truth in the
| popular notion that snakes charm their
! prey. They doubtless in most instances
approach and seize their prey unawares.
1 have seen a little snake in the woods
pursue and overtake a lizard that was
trying to escape from it. There was
no attempt at charming; superior speed
alone gave the victory to the snake.
2. Does the porcupine ever defend itself
by rolling up like a ball?
I have never yet seen a pprcupine as
sume the globular form. It would not be
the best form for him to assume, because
it would partly expose his vulnerable
under side. His attitude of defense is
crouching close to the ground, head
drawn and pressed down, the circular
shield of large quills upon nts back
opened and extended as far as possible,
and the tail stretched back rigid and
held close upon the ground.
3. What bird is the first to lay in the
spring?
The first egg, in New York and New
England, is probably that of an owl.
the great homed owl. it is said, laying as
early as March. They probably shelter
their eggs from the frost and the snow
before incubation begins. The little
screech own waits till April, and seek?

LITTLE LIFE CONFIDENCES IN THE EXPERIENCE OF A COUPLE
PHILOSOPHIC, THOUC.H MARRIED
By WOK FULKERSON__
Andrew reminded one of the "cloud of ,
smoke by day, a pillar of fire by night,"
as he sat, surrounded by the smoke from
his cigarette which he wvas puffing lazily
while he scanned the sporting page.
Imogens was working over her embroi
dery hoop and humming an air from
"Ada." She hummed the same passage
over and over till he remarked:
"You'd better take something for that,
it's becoming chronic."
"I beg your pardon," she said startled.
"What did you say?"
"I remarked that I didn’t think Car
pen tier could lick Dempsey," he replied
without looking up.
"You didn't!" averred Imogens. "You
made some nasty remark about my sing
ing."
"Oh, were you singing ” said Andrew.
"I thought it was your chair squeak
ing."
There was a time when you used to
jliko music," smiled Imogens. "You used
to come and sing under my window be
fore we were married."
"Ah, that was different,” said Andrew,
laying down his paper.
"We lived in the golden age of music.
Even the birds we used to have men
could sing. Now-a-days they do nothing
but cheep.
"Why, when I courted you we used to
sing 'Darling, I Am Growing Old.' 'in
Old Madrid* and pretty songs which
people like to hear, but now they sing
things so cultured that it takes six
years of musical education in Europe be
fore you can tell when the leader of the
orchestra quit tuning his fiddle and be
gins to play the tune.
"In those days all the girls played the
piano with their hands instead of with
their feet.
"At that lime every boy about the
time he began to sprout gumboils and
buy beard elixir, also bought either a
mandolin, a guitar or a banjo and
learned to look what he thought soulful.
Today that same boy would buy a phono
graph and grind out jazz.
"Sentiment has disappeared in music.
“In our youth a lad practiced on a
sweetly sad song for two weeks and
then went and sat under his lady love's
window and played and sang il for
her, playing his own accompaniment on
the guitar, (ill she came to the window
in her nightie and tossed him out a
spray of honeysuckle to press to hi.<
lips
"If he were a mandolin player Th<
song took on a Spanish air like ‘The
Spanish Cavalier,’ who stood In tiis re
treat for so many years, and he grot a
rosebud or a bulldog for his pains, de
pending: on his luck.
“If he played the banjo and the night
was not so damp that it took all the
music out of his rawhide head, he sane
'(lone are the days when my heart was
young and gay,' and got so full of ro
mantic feeling that he would go home
ar.d go to bed w ithout putting iodine on
his ring worm.
But today! Music has lost its romance.
If a guy wants to go under a girl’s
window with a musical instrument and )
get any action for his work these days,
there is only one instrument Which will
work, and it has, only one note.**
“What is it?” asked Imogene.
“Honk! Honk! Honk:*’ said Andrew,
doing his best•to imitate the raucous
note of an automobile horn.
