Money Not Everything
In Married Life.

Maybe many feel inclined to envy
the splendor of the $4,000 wedding
of Jennie Croker and the happy
prospect, so far as her $1O,OO0,00O
can 60. with which she and Malcolm
Whitman enter upon their married
life.
But let us not make any foolish
mistake about it. Money is very
powerful. but it does not buy either
love or happiness that is genuine.
Cupid is no auditor Of accounts,
When he draws his bowstrings he
shuts his eyes, and whether the shaft
lodges in the heart Of plutocrat or
peasant it is all one to him.
Really. income is the least import
ant thing in happy marriage. and
has been so ever since the red roses
of love first began blooming In the
human heart.
The things absolutely essential to
the happy home are strangely few.
Chief among them are love and faith.
Neither of these costs money. Neither
can be bought with it. But both of
them often fly from 1t.
Love and marriage mean more to
those in moderate circumstances
than to the case-taking rich. IL
means a wedding of purposes and
sympathies in a common cause OF
anxiety, of hope, of struggle, of dis
appointment, of success. II means a
deep experience in all the profound
sCul-nourishing emotions, to many of
which the hearts of the rich are
closed. For when struggles ccas"
sympathies and aspirations cease also
and the soul stagnates
So while we may wish the rich
young couple all the happiness their
hearts are capable Of absorbing. let
us not envy them; for who is there to
say that they may not often envy
the simple, sweeter joys of poorer
folk? --PensacOla Journal

Frank Wilber Makes g. Strong and Convincing Statement
LOCAL RECORDS BROKEN
Was Agreeably Surprised and Much Gratified at the Results Produced
 In His Particular Case

MT. Frank Wilher of Bessemer. Ala, made the following statement recently In connection with "Tona Nita." the tonic that is now being introduced in Birmingham at the Collier Drug com nany, 109-111 North Twentieth street Mir. Wilber said: T have been sick for some time I have been nervous and run down and have had constant stom- acl1 trouble.
 T have never known just what was the matter with me. l slept poorly and my sleep did me little good felt tired out most of the time and was always nervous and Respondent was con- stipated and my digestion was poor. I seldom had a good appetite and when did eat felt bloated from gas and would taste the food for hours after ward.
 T got two bottles of 'Tona, Vita a couple of weeks ago but felt very much discouraged after using the first bottle and started on the second bot tie with small hope of any improve mont Shortly after beginning on tho second bottle began to notice change rand I have become stronger and better tvery day. l now feel as swell as I did several years ago I seem to get nourishment from my food and no long CT have stomach trouble or feel so tired and depressed"
 The representatives who are intro 1ucing "Tona Vita" in Birmin gham are giving demonstrations of what the tonic vii do in five minutes All day long they meet callers at the store where they are located and try to produce a noticeable improvement in all cases cf nervous debility within five minutes; the people who take the medicine to be the judges. There is no charge for this demonstration and several hundred people tried the experiment..
 One of the representatives said: "'Tona Vita will break all records in Birmingham. People are just beginning to realize what a great preparation it is. We are instructed by our com pany to take no money for the tonic unless the medicine proves satisfac-f tory. Thousands upon thousands in this and other cities are afflicted with gen eral. debility, caused by metropolitan life. The entire system becomes affect ed in such cases and nervousness. stom- ach trouble. headache. baekache de- spondency and loss of vitality result. 'Tana Vita will work wonders in such cases in a remarkably short time. If 1t soksn't we want nothing from those ,Tho wish to try 1t other than the time 1t takes to come and get the medicine"

AGEE SAYS BLIND
 TIGERS MUST 'GO Excise Commission Pleased With Supreme Court De
 cision on Smith Bill

That the blind tigers. especially those of q chronic kind, may prepare to go in view of the decision of the supreme court on the Park and Smith bills. was in dicated yesterday by Chairman w c. Aeee of the excise commission, whose sentiments met with a hearty approval from the other excise commissioners.
 It was given out by Tnr. Agee that while the commission had mot let up one bit on the existing blind tigers. vet the supreme court decision made their posi- tion somewhat more powerful and that an aggressive campaign would be at once launched to put an ends to those now operating.
 We intend to work in cooperation > with the federal authdrities,'' said MT. Agee. That seems to be the only way i. which we can get action. The gov ernment is behind us in this matter and now we intend to go after the tigers good and strong. The recent Palos cases, where heavy penalties'were imposed will certainly indicate to the tiger keepers that some potent force is arrayed against them.

We will havd ] the cooperation of the legitimate dealers who are arrayeti, against the tigers.
