TAG DAY
 FOR THE BOYS CLUB

This is Tag Day. Everybody hopes 1t will be bright day in every sense of the word-bright with sunshine. bright with good deeds, bright in the spirit of kindness and generosity toward young Birmingham as you find 1t in that fine in- stltution-the Boys club.
 It Is hoped that every one will buy a tag; that they will be worn to represent interest in the boys and encouragement to the charity represented in the Boys club, and that the sum of money from their sale counted up at the close of the day will be double that received any previous year.
 Only on Tag Day, an annual institu- tion, does the Boys club come before the people with request for aid. It has all ways been given freely, and though some- times greatly handicapped by bad weather, the proceeds have been enough to start many fine little chaps on the right path More money will do more work, help a greater number of children and effect a brighter and better future for Birmingham through the medium of it's boys. Let every one buy g. tag; let them pay for it as liberally as they can.

 OF RESCUE WORK

 "Al seemed to be out of order; they seemed to be making rush for one. and the captain had hard work. l remember l was pushed toward boat and helped in. The boat was lowered part way. Just as we were about to clear the ship a man made a rush to get aboard. He was shot. He was apparently killed instantly. His body fell into the boat at our feet. No one made an effort to move the body at all. 1t remained beneath our feet until we were picked up by the Carpathia.

"When we waved goodbye to my son." said Mrs. Compton, I've did not realize the great danger. but thought we were only being sent out in the boats as a precautionary measure. When Captain Smith handed us life preservers, he said cheerily, they will keep you warm if you do not have to use them Then the crew began clear ing the boats and putting the women into them.
 There was a moan of agony and an- guish from those in our craft when the Titanic sank, and we insisted that the officer head back for the place where the Titanic had disappeared. We found one man with life preserver on him struggling in the cold water, and for a minute I thought he was my son."

The Best Proof
 That Coffee Hurts
TALES THAT ARE TOLD


 q was one of the kind who wouldn't believe that coffee was hurting me-" says a N Y woman. You just couldn't convince me its use was con- nected with the heart and stomach trouble I suffered from most all of the time" (Tea contains caffeine the same drug found in coffee, and is just as harmful.) My trouble finally got so bad I had to live on milk and toast almost entirely for three or four years. Still I loved the coffee and wouldn't believe it could do such dam age.
 What I needed was to quit coffee and take nourishment in such form my stomach could digest. I had read much about Postum, but never thought 1t would fit my case until one day I decided to quit coffee and give it a trial and make sure about it. So I got a package and carefully followed the directions.
 Soon I began 10 get better and was able to eat carefully selected foods without the aid of pepsin or other digests and 1t was not long be- fore I was really a new woman physi- cally. A
 Now I am healthy. hearty and sound can eat anything and every tninS %ldt eonles dlonS, ana Know this wonderful change Is all due to my having quit coffee and got the nourishment I needed through this delicious Postum in place of the dan gerous coffee and tea.
 My wonder is why everyone don't give up coffee and the troubles that go with it and build themselves up as I have done with Postum." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Easy to prove by 10 days trial of Postum in place of coffee. The re- ward is big and worth the test.

I lay down in my berth again, assured there was Ho danger I rose again at the summons of a stewardess. There were very few passengers on deck when I reached 1t.
