[ Women Worry About Little Things
 More Than They Ought.

Not enough iron in their blood.
 What has iron to do with it? The iron
 of rich, red strengthening, nourishng
 blood is one of the chief builders of nerve
 power.
 Iron makes strength.
 Weakness causes worry.
 Women who are weak and nervous are
 thin, pale or yellow-faced. They lack the
 rounded form of beautiful womanhood
 They are irritable and hard to please. Iney
 suffer from heada che, backache, rheuma-
 tism, neuralgia. They feel weak, tired. un-
 happy, miserable.
 Their pale color proves that they need
 iron to color their blood Their irritabil-
 ity and nervousness, that they need 1t to
 tone up and strengthen their nerves. Ihelr
 thinness, that they need it to cure their
 dyspepsia.
 They can get what iron they need in its
 best form from Dr. Harters Iron Tonic. Not an empirical solution of iron salts, but a scientific preratation of tested value. A preparation that for forty-two years has been curing the sick by hundreds of thous- ands.

 Revolution Elect Officers

Estes, regent of General Sumpter chapter. at meeting of the chapter yester- day, Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, Alabama regent. will have every reason to be satis- fled with the progress of the past year.. the success of which. Mrs. Estes said in her report, was so largely due to the untiring zeal of the state regent. The meeting yes- torday that was held with Mrs. Robert Jemison was one of unusual importance, the annual reports being made and the election of officers taking place.
 Mrs. Estes. whose first year as regent has just closed, was unanimously reelected, her brilliant work of the year assuring the second term of her administration She has worked enthusiastically for the growth of the chapter. and her annual report showed the greatest increase in membership of any preceding year. So much depends upon the chapter regent in promoting the patriotic work and in creating the interest and en- thusiaem that is so necessary in all organ iations, and General Smup.er chapter under the leadership of Mrs. Estes has become one of the leading chapters that will be represented at the corsinental congress. Birmingham will be- by the way, charming ly represented at Washington. Mrs. Estes, as chapter regent will attend the congress, and Mrs J. Morgan Smith, Alabama's re- gent. will be among the distinguished wo- men present

 Mrs. Arthur Adams was elected as alter nate to represent the chapter regent at the congress.
 Quite a large assembly of Birmingham women were present at the meeting. The occasion while being the annual election of officers, when business matters would nat uraily have precedence, was at the close or such formalities. a charming one dn the world of society In addition to the mem bers of the chapter, a number of women interested .n Ghe patriotic work Of ule daughters were present, and an informal reception followed at the conclusion of sne business routine. The house was beauti- fully decorated and the entire lower floor was thrown together. In the dining room the floral decorations were red carnations, and handsome lace over red satin covered the table. l. was here that coffee was served. Mrs. Rufus N Rhodes and Mrs. J. T.

 With public ownership, excessive charge for lights would no longer hold us down 10 our present position of being the poorest lighted city in the land nor would eXorbi- tant water rates so limit the usefulness or orlr fire department, that the present vol ume of business in Birmingham must pay an extra premium of $20,OO0 yearly on ac- count of low classification by the tariff as- soolateon, as the Investigations of our Board of Trade have demonstrated.
