Health q Factor in Success.

The largest fact0T c0nITIbutlng 10 a mans success is undoubtedly health. It has been observed that a man is seldom sick when his bowels are regular-he is never well when they are constipated. For constipation you will find nothing quite so good as Chamberlain's Tablets. They not only move the bowels but improve the appetite and strengthen the digestion. They are sold by all dealers.-Adv.

JAPAN'S ATTITUDE
 IS ONE OF DIGNITY
Leading Paper Says All Japan Wants Is Equal Treatment With White Men"-\atiOn May
 Spend S6OOOOO.

Tokio, May 22.-The war talk emanating from Europe and reach
 ing here by cable, regarding the
 controversy between Japan and the
 United States on the land owner ship question, is not understood ln
 official and other circles here. The atmosphere is calm and great re- serve Is shown.
 Some of the newspapers, however, have begun to speak out more freely. The leading daily newspa- per. the Osaka Nainichi, finds amazement in what 1t calls the American fear o. Japanese aggres- sion. It says "au Japan wants for the Japnaese Is equal treatment with white men Japan's progress has reached the point where she will no longer consent to dlscrlm- nation being shown against her subjects
 The general slJpe is expressed here that the reply sent from Wash ingtOn is not Americas final word, especially as the United States gov ernment, by its intervention in California, inspired the belief here that it would adopt strong meas ures in behalf ot the Japanese.
 It is believed in Japan that the difficulty will eventually be settled automatically, or how Japan is to proceed next is q puzzle to the au- thOrities. Japan ls a stranger to the technicalities 0f the American laws and does not see her way clear to the initiative in a lawsuit, while the natioua. patriotism pre- vents forma' request that naturalization b. granted. which would mean the virtual expatria- ton of Japanese subjects.
 Public opinion. however. seems 10 be in favor of d demand for naturalization as the most feasible means of satisfying Japanese pres tige.
 The opinion in official rircles is that the nation has been led Co ex- pect some action by Washington, and if nothing should be done from that quarter then the Japanese public, which has remained calm and dignified. is likely to become greatly irritated.
 Foreigners say that the Japanese are superSensitive and so proud" said an official today. This may be true. We don't care for the ma terial losses incurred. The present issues strike Us on our most vul- nerable point namely, our national honor, and any attack on that is like plunging a dagger into our vi- tals."
 Of course it's idle to talk of war. but I think in justice 10 the Japan ese it should be pointed out that the quiet expectancy of the people is more important than the ire sponsible war talk indulged in by the jineoes .ast month If the Americans understand this they will likewise understand why the fail- ure of a response to the Japanese appeal is likely to result in some esirangement If the traditional friendship br.ween the United States and Japan.'

 Fight for Food

DR.. MAY REPLIES TO
: DR.. MINORS LETTER
Controversy Arose Over Eff
feet Produced by the
Friedman Cure

70 the Editor of The Age Herald
In recent issue of your paper you
publish letter from DR.. Minor of Ashe-
Vile, N C.. in regard to DR.. Friedmann's
tuberculosis remedy and taking me to
task for prevaricating in newspaper
interview, and for my inability to UNI
derstand and speak the German lam
cuage
one of the main points at issue be-
tween us was whether or not the Fried
mann patients had been benefited by
the treatment and how question: Of
fact like that, which had come under
MY own observation, could have been
set aside by an inability to understand
German, is beyond my comprehension
Perhaps If | was connected with a
tuberculosis sanitorium, as it is report
ed that Dr. Minor is, and was directly
interested in its prosperity, I might
have been able to see the inefficacy OF
derstanding German. The people who
shouted, Great is Diana of the Ephe .
slams did not have to understand
Greek and Hebrew and Sanscrit to
know that the preaching of the Apos
ties was interfering with the silver
smiths sale of shrines to Diana
AS to whether DR.. Minor said to me.
1t Is wonderful" as he really did, or
whether "It is the most wonderful
thing | had ever SEEM as the news
paper interview reported me as say
ing, is not material. The fact is that
DR.. Minor admitted that IL "Was re-
markable If the Improvement in /
week was as great as it must have
been, according to DIR. Mays statement
OF its former condition" | contend that
he used the word "wonderful in PLAIN
English, not in German and not re
markable' he admits in his letter
hut the difference in that connection
is the difference between "tweedleduul
and tweedledee.
DR. Minor got the same Information
hat | gave him in regard to the pre-
Vious condition of this patient from
the house surgeon, and X-ray picture
and hospital chart and from other ply
sicians present.
In justice TO myself j ask you to
publish my letter in reply TO Dr. Minors
criticism OF myself. r.

Citizens Think They See In
dications of an Early Re-
sumption of Operations
WOULD MEAN MUCH
TO ENTIRE DISTRICT
Not Expected That Any Formal An
nouncement Will Be Made, But
That Work Will Start
Without Fanfare
Nv CLYDE w. ENNIS


At no time since the wire plant has been
constructed at Fairfield has there been
20 much optimism as to the opening OF
that industry.
In the opinion of all men of Birming-
ham conversant with general industrial
conditions, the American Steel and Wire
plant will be opened within short time.
Following those negotiations in Washing
ton and New York, with which the pub
lie is now familiar, the feeling grows
daily that the time is fast approaching
when the smoke line at Fairfield will be
very different.
AT Fairfield among the merchants that
have gone through trial and tribulation
since the unexpected shutdown of the
plant the feeling is one of expectancy.
They believe the Steel corporation will
soon authorize the beginning of work at
the plant Their opinion is based upon
many indications which, like the straw,
point the way the wind blows. They are
absolutely serene, believing that Presi-
dent W. p C. Harding of the Chamber
| George w. Perkins, as well as others.
Will nave accomplished the opening oI tue
plant within a few weeks
No official announcement has been
made. None will be made in the opinion
of local industrial men. 1t is assumed
that the Steel corporation will instruct
President Palmer of the american Steel
and Wire to start the plant 1t is expect
ed that without any effort at publicity
the men will be assembled at Fairfield
and that work will start. 1t is known at
Fairfield that superintendent Lutz of the
wire plant, who has been in Pittsburg
for some months is expected here within
few days. That his coming is signifi-
cant and indicates further that the plant
is to be opened soon, is the opinion in
Birmingham among financial men and in
dustrial leaders.
There can be little eXaggera tion of the
vast benefits the opening of the wire mill
would bring to Fairfield and Birmingham
at this time. The plant would employ a
small army of skilled worl<men and would
give to this community another powerful
plant bringing wealth and prestige to
the rapidly growing Birmingham district.
As stated not since that day when as
upon the wings of the evening rumor
spread that the plant at Fairfield would
be closed has there been such feeling
OF satisfaction that the wire mill Will
soon become scene of greatest ac-
tivity.
