GAS DISCOVERY MARKS NEW ERA In Industrial Development of Birmingham District CHEAPEST FUEL KNOWN John A. Caldwell, Prominent Stock Broker of Birmingham, Gives Brief History of Development of
 Providence Oil and Gas
 Company
CHEAPEST FUEL KNOWN

John A. Caldwell, discussing the eIect of the discovery of gas in Alabama on the industrial development of the Bir- mingham district, said:
 Birmingham has reached that stage of broad development where it can do big things naturally.
 'Million-d dollar enterprises startle the public no longer. Birmingham and the Birmingham district has found its gait and will move forward henceforth with out jostle. Individual interests have been swallowed up and overshadowed by broad community interests and personal Jealousies will have no part in the great future development of this community
 Almost every week brings forward some new and important step to pro- mote the prosperity and the general de- velopment of the district. The general public has ceased to keep tab on the great extensions and betterments that are being constantly projected by the United States Steel corporation in this section. The many other industrial concerns oper- ating here make large and important ex- tensions and we give them passing notice. call especial attention to the great de- velopments at Corey. It is natural that Birmingham and the district should grow and the people are falling in line without confusion and without buster.
 'The people have learned to talk in millions naturally.
 AS an evidence of the matter of fact state into which the people of Birming- ham have lapsed, the recent discovery of gas in easy reach of the Birmingham dis trict failed to create the sensation that would have resulted had the discovery been made a few years ago.
 Arrangements are now being made to pipe the gas into Birmingham for manufacturing and domestic use. Men with money and brains who recognize the inestimable value of the discovery to the

candidate for Alderman From the
 Second Ward
 To the Voters and Citizens of Birming- ham:
 I am a candidate for the nomination as alderman from the Second ward at the approaching democratic primary.
 l have been resident of Birmingham since October, 1898, and all this time engaged in the practice of law, and have lived in the Second ward for the last five years.
 I am mindful of the fact that great questions are pressing upon us for solu- tion in connection with the organization Into cohesive whole of the various sub divisions of Greater Birmingham and the provision of an adequate revenue for the needs of the city and wise and vigilant expenditure of the peoples money
 Such being the case I am deeply grati- fled that my friends have thought me capable and worthy of the honor of rep resenting the people of the Second ward on the Board of Aldermen. But apprecia- tive as I am of their good will, I would not ask their suffrages except from an earnest desire to be of service to the community.
 I am favorable to a commission form of government for this city, properly safeguarded and will do all in my power to make change to same in case 1t shall be approved by the democratic primary and the legislature responds with a satis- ,ctory general or special bill
 I will appreciate the support of the ectors of the Second ward as we'll as 'le influence of my friends throughout iIle city, and If elected will discharge lie duties of the office conscientiousy 1d to the best of my ability. Very truly,

(Used morphine when only Il years old)
 The horrible facts relating to the use
 of morphine by Willie Layman, when he
 was so young. will justly horrify the
 public: but it has only been a few
 years since there was treated for the
 Drug Habit little baby girl, only 3
 years old. She had contracted the drug
 habit through the nourishment received at the breast of her mother, who was a
 drug user. When the mother tried to
 wean her little baby girl the child
 would suffer with cold, clammy sweats,
 scream with pain and go into convul-
 sions; consequently she could not be
 weaned until after treatment. Mother
 and child were finally cured and re-
 turned home strong and healthy.
 Tn the follow ing testimonial Willie
 Layman tells his horrible experience
 as a drug user and how he was cured.
 These cases show how children and
 even little babes may be successfully
 treated by the wonderful James Reme-
 dies

 torium, Memphis, Tenn: Dear Sir-I am only little boy, not over IS years old.
 I have had a terrible experience. My
 mother was sick for long time, and on
 account of suffering she begun to use morphine. I was only II years old when had bad spell of typhoid fever and everybody thought I was going to die. At this time I had bad rising in my ear, and the doctor oper- ated on 1t and took the drum out. My mother hated to sec me suffer so much, and she asked the doctor if a little morphine would ease the pain. He said it would and she gave me some, which eased me, and she continued to give 1t to me until I was well. She then
 wanted to quit giving 1t to me but suffered so much with aches and pains, and with cold and hot flashes that couldn't stand it, so she gave me more of the drug. After this I took 1t my self, also smoked cigarettes, but never touched whisky. When I was so young I had two of my fingers cut off in a stave machine. Although l was only IS when I came to your Sanatorium for treatment I was taking hypoder- mically 20 grains of morphine day , and was nearly dead My mother died inst before I came. She often begged me to come to your Sanatorium and get cured. but I was afraid to come for fear would suffer when I quit using the drug. but I went through your treatment without an ache or pain. don't want any more morphine or cfrarettes never intend to use them again. will never forget how kind everybody was to me, and I am going to tell everybody about your treatment. You can put this in the paper if you want to. WILLIE AMMAN.

As It May Develop.

From the Chicago POSt.
 We quote from the New York Sun Post of the year 1920, as follows:
 "As the bridal party approached the church in armored motors, Squadron A charged the crowd. The cavalrymen were unable, however to make their way into the charge broke and surged back like a wave of blue topped sby glittering yell low. Before Mir. vanastorbilt and his lovely daughter could gain entrance into the marble vestibule of St. Episcopus's it was necessary for the Seventy-first regi- ment to bring up its mountain howitzers and open fire. The police estimate the dead in this skirmish at 364.
 'Inside the church 1t was found that a number of women had crept under the Persian carpets of the center aisle and 1t was necessary for the ushers, most of whom are officers in the groom's aristo- cratic London regiment. to saber eight or ten of them and throw the bodies out of the windows Lord Blanketyblank showed that he understands his duties as a hus- band to be by strangling with his own hands an unusually daring spectator who was trying to tear a piece off the brides wedding veil
 'The service passed off very we'll, being interrupted only once or twice by pistol shots in the rear pews. Tn Mulberry street Inspector Smith said later that these were merely little shooting affrays between guests whose view of the altar was obscured. On the march down from the altar however. a handsome woman sitting in an aisle seat grabbed brides maids glove, and 1t was necessary for the ushers to break hef arm before they could recover it,"
 At least we think we shall have to quote this way from the New York pa- pers of 1920 if the scenes attendant upon the Drexel-Gould wedding of yesterday grow in the manner and degree in which other things nthis country are wont to grow.

has surrounded himself with group or very strong people and whenever he slafls in to do a stunt on the stock ex- change he stirs things up. At the same time he has not yet been able to com mand the blind confidence of the public as Mr. Hartman did. For one thing he lacks the latter's aggressiveness and hls irdomitable courage.
 MT. Hartman was always willing and generally able to punish people who got in his way. He had the street in state oT terror almost. No man or combination Of men i'll Wall street left like crossing him during the last two or three years of his life. They gave him the right of way at all times He carried a big stick and showed his teeth like another great man with whom the people are familiar. Mo- body is afraid of MT. Hawley.
 He has never. so far as anybody knows, manifested a disposition to punish and it would seem that without that quality there can be no supreme leadership in the larger field of action, be it political com mercial or financial. MT. Hawley may be a good corps commander, but he will hardly achieve the rank of field marshal.
 The bulletins from Paris are to the ef- feet that renewed efforts to have United States Steel stocks listed on the Bourse
 
 next time an announcement is made that the stocks are to receive official recogni- ton in Paris there will be no slip-up. The last experience was very humiliating to the house of J. F. Morgan & Co. and ex- pensive to the group of spectators who assume to be in connection with the es- tablishment.
 In vulgar parlance, "they shot off their mouths too soon'' and they will not make the same mistake again. Another item of news from Paris is that the American that are trying to market bonds in France will have special issues in which the denomination will be, In francs They would very cheerfully com ply with this French requirement. to any amount that might be named.
 The Wall street manufacturers of bonds always seek to please. If there was any thing in it they would print bonds and stocks in yens or marks or any other kind of money that buyers might have.

That may be for the reason that they realize that they must give active support to prices and help along the game of speculation if they would do the financing for their corporation which they want to.
 In the forefront of this demand for new capital are several corporation in which leading Standard oil men are heavily in- terested if not in actual control. This helps things out somewhat and is tacit insurance that there will be no danger ous interference with a bullish campaign once started. There is a feeling abroad that announcement of the success of the St. Paul bond flotation, which seems to be unaccountably hanging fire, will be the signal for a movement of consequence in the market

ANOTHER WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

Electricity, telephones, a;rship9
and all the wonderful inventions
of this scientific age seemed i'm
possible few years ago. But it
seems there is nothing 30 i'm
possible but what some scientist
will discover the means OF accom-
plishment. Prof. Emerson has now
discovered a preparation which
will really grow hair. Iowa peo-
pie are amazed and astounded oy
Emerson's new discovery for the
hair. Emerson said that one bot
tie of his new discovery would
grow a full head of hair and re-
store gray or faded hair to it's
natural color. The people did
not believe him. 1t was too much
to expect and too good to be true.
They had tried all the highly ad-
vertised hair restorers and had
always been disappointed and they
could not believe one bottle would
really grow full head of hair.
But now comes the most startling
part of all-for Emerson proved
it-yes, absolutely proved it..
What do you think he did? He
made the bold and remarkable
statement that he would give five
dollars to any person who used
one bottle OF his new discovery
and failed to secure a new and
satisfactory growth of hair. The
people were astounded by the un-
heard of offer, but they knew that
he was financially responsible and
would do as he agreed if it cost
him his fortune. Thousands
bought bottles of his new dis

VOTE OF ENTIRE STATE NEcES-
sARY TO AUTHORIZE METRO
POLITAN POLICE ANNUITY.

In the campaign OF education for
the adoption Of the police benefit
amendment, which is No. on the
short ballot TO be used by the voters
at the November election, the com.
mittees in charge of the work have
the approval Of the police commits
sioners In the three cities.
Authority to submit the amendment
was granted by the legislature In 1909.
1t proposes merely to give authority
to establish pensions in st. Lonis,
Kansas City and st. Joseph for dis
abled members of the police force
when injured In the performance of
duty. The consent OF the state at
large Is necessary befure any one of
the three departments can establish
such system. But the voters should
bear in mind there Is no tax for the
amendment nor will there be even q
cent OF expense, not a cent of taxa
ton, upon the voters that do not live
In the city where the fund is to be
established. There will be no spe-
cial tax anywhere. Without the con-
sent Of the country voters 1t will he
impossible for the cities to adopt the
system.
No person can come in touch with
the situation and know better the ne
cessity for such protection to the men
who constantly safeguard the city DUR
ing all hours of the day than the
members of the boards of police COM
missioners in the three cities. Ia
each Of them the commissioners have
charge Of the police, but can not come
in for any benefits under the proposed
amendment. Consequently their con-
cern for and approval of the amend
ment is based only on the humanita-
rian side Of the question. In each
Of the three cities the boards not only
have approved the proposed pension
plan, but they have contributed per-
sonally to the incidental expenses Of
the campaign and have given the
committee the privilege OF using their
names as hackers of the idea in the
campaign.
No one knows better than these
commissioners the dangers to which
the members of the force are sub
ject. The policeman is exposed to all
kinds Of disease in enforcing the law.
1t is TO remedy this condition that
the country is called on for support.
Every one wishing to vote for a pen
sion for the police disabled while
protecting the public welfare will vote
order to do this scratch the word
mo" and leave the word Yes" stand
as 1t is ON the ballot.

received the five dollars without

that with every bottle OF his new
