 STORY OF TF0o BLs
Prominent AIercnsnts Case :,
 A Peenliss Ore
RESgLs .ARKABLE
New Foreisa Product Has Features Unknown Heretofore-Thousands
 Are Being helped Daily

One of the sensational statements re- gently made in connection with "Tona Vita" the tonic that has accomplished such remarkable results In Birmingham, Is that of prominent merchant of this city
 who said: This 'Tona Vita is the great est tonic l have ever taken. It's action In my case was wonderful, for 1t not only restored me to perfect health after l had been an invalid for almost 10 years, but it did it in about 10 days time.
 T think I was one of the most down. hearted men in Birmingham before l be- gan taking this tonic. l was so weak that every little bit of work seemed like a big job, and l was as nervous as could be. If a person came up to me un- expectedly I would jump in a frightened sort of ,yAy. l never got a sound nights sleep, but would toss and roll around in bed all night. When l sat down to a meal did 1t more as a habit, as nothing l ate was enjoyed. Besides, the very thought of eating often made me sick. I would often forget important duties and seemed to lack all energy.
 Recently I talked with one of the rep resentatives at the drug store and he told me that l had nervous debility and advised me to try a tonic called Tona Vita I did so, and can truthfuly say it is the best thing that could have hap pened me. My ambition has returned, and my desire to be active and hustling is mo- ticed by my family. l now sleep all night long and get up in the morning feeling cheerful and more like a man than I have in years. now enjoy my meals and seem to be able to digest them in a way that haven't for a long time. A gentleman who is living in the same house with us saw how this tonic was helping me and began taking it, and even though he has taken but a few doses he is in better health than l have ever seen him.
 The symptoms of nervous debility are ,mmstakable to those who know how pre- valent this trouble is. A tired dragging feeling of the body, sluggish mind and dull memory, depression of spirits, ner vousness, stomach trouble, weak back. poor circulation, cold feet, headaches and bowel trouble. These are sure indica- lions of nervous debility and modern life produces it in untold thousands.
 'Tona Vita" will positively remove this pondition. If 1t doesn't the trial costs nothing if purchased at the Collier Drug company's store, 1o9-11 North Twentieth street. where representatives are stationed between the hours of d. m. and D. m. to meet the public and explain the nature of this remarkable preparation.

LAURIUM
LEGISLATION FOR
TRAVELLING MEN
NEW LAWS ARE URGED BY THE
SUPREME COUNSELOR or
THE U. c. T.

That the railroads of the country
have made the commercial traveller
who carries excess baggage their
goat" is the contention of c. b. Grif-
fifth, supreme counselor of the order of
United Commercial Travellers of AM
erica. i'm q letter TO the members. "In
some sections" Mr.. Griffith explains,
the law forced the railroads TO reduce
their passengers rates. They promptly
retaliated by raising their excess bag
gage charges from 12ls per cent to 10
20 per cent of the first class fare, and,
in some cases. even higher"
In support or mis- contention. Mr..
Griffith cites the former and present
rates in two cities. as follows:
Passenger fare ~ Former rate, $17i
present rate, Sli.S5.
Excess baggage rate ~ Former rate
$l.G0; present rate, $40
A man carrying 1000 pounds of cx-
cess baggage will pay;
Former rate--Fare, S17; excess, $40.
Total, 1913.
Present rate--Fare. $14.S5; excess,
S2i. Total, $3.50. Increase, S5.35, or
16 per cent.
rs there any equity or justice in
compelling the commercial traveller
who is on the road nearly all the time,
10 pay the loss of revenue the railroad
sustains by carrying some passengers,
who probably travels one hundred
miles,. or less. during the year," asks
the supreme counselor.
The letter urges the members of the
order to attend the grand council
which meets some time i'm June, and
urge their demands upon The legisla-
tors Among the laws MIR. Griffith de-
clarcs are needed and should be a9i-
