Mr. Taylor is a friend OF Peruna
and does not conceal his friendship.
He is thoroughly enthused with the
belief that Peruna is a great remedy
He has a right to feel 50. For several
years he suffered with dyspepsia.
This caused him to have very bad
health
Newspaper advertisements would
never have influenced him to take
Peruna. It was friends that per-
suaded him to try the remedy. In
less than a week he needed no more
persuasion. He saw that Peruna
was doing him good. He is able to
say in a letter TO the Peruna Com

members of the Birmingham and Ems ley lodges of Elks The principals are
 Miss Dorothea Rattermann, daughter of prominent member of the Birming-
 ham lodge, and Hugh W. Hill, past
 exalted ruler of Ensley lodge. Among those taking prominent parts are Dr. John W. Perkins, Harry L. White, Os- ear Turner, John S. Leedy, B. M. Allen.
 Will Mentzell, Nat Barker, Ellis Brown.
 Tom Devereaux, A. H. Meehl, George
 Rattermann Leon Friedman. Dr. Me- Adory and many others.
 The title was selected by the commit tee at the conclusion of the play, from about 30 titles suggested. many of which were appropriate, the commit tee concluding the above title was the best as it suggested both the F,lks membership and the story of the play. which is as follows:
 Jack Sparkman, young bachelor with apartments at the Ridgely, is in duced by his friend Billy Roundley to go with the Big Brother committee from the Elks' lodge to visit the Ala bama Boys Industrial school at East Lake, where the Ellxs have established a garage for the instruction of the boys. He later visits Ensley and IS shown over the mammoth plants of the United States Steel corporation by a committee of Ensley Elks He becomes impressed with the order and decides to join. and approaches B. M. Allen. past grand exalted ruler, to present his application for initiation. He is ac- cepted and goes to the Elks home on Eighth avenue for initiation and on that occasion gets all that Is com- ing to him."
 1 A few days later while walking in Capitol park Jack meets Henry Haynes, a prominent member of the order and his daughter Eloise. He is introduced and is invited to call at the Haynes
 home, which is among the handsomest residences on the Highlands. Jack calls
 and he and Eloise go for an auto ride. At one of the deadly railroad cross ings of the city collision occurs and Jack is seriously hurt, Eloise escaping g with few bruises, Jack is taken to the McAdory infirmary, where he is vis- ited by the sick committee from the E1ks lodge.
 Later MT. Haynes and his daughter
 call and Cupid gets busy" When con valescent Jack proposes and is ac- cepted, but for selfish reasons her fath- CT objects to the marriage Jack calls at home while MT. Haynes is absent | from the city and the young couple agree to elope. Jack secures a friend and together they go to the county courthouse to secure the marriage license. On leaving the building they
 are met by Billy Roundley, who Is
 tipped off about the wedding. which
 takes place at the Church of the Ad- vent Billy gathers a delegation of ElKs who appear at the Terminal station with banners bearing various and sun
 dry inscriptions
 | Just as the couple disembark from

Selected Rits

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 The late Frederick Townsend Mar tin was one day describing to a New York reporter his adventures in the London slums.
 "Slum butcher shops.' he said, .are very interesting. especially on a Sat urday night, when the Sunday meat Is being bought
 Once in the New Cut I stopped be- fore a dreadful looking stall of meat. There was a platter of particularly Vile stuff called selected bits These selected bits the butcher was offer ing to an old lady for threepence. but she Insisted that this was too high
 Take em for tuppence, then, said the butcher. Best selected bits. plat terful for tuppence. You can't do bet ter nor that
 T don't know said the old lady. It seems rather high Will ye give a penny for em?' still the old lady hesitated.
 Here said the butcher, here. hang It, ma am. I'll turn my back while you pinch 'em.''

The Tax Exemption Law Was Passed in 1894, and in 1905 the Railroads Made a Rate of 30 Gents to All Users of Steam Coal in Towns in the Anniston- -Gadsden District

Col. R. A. Mitchell of Gadsden, who has been conspicuously successful in attract ing foreign capital to Alabama attended the meeting of the Conner Business Mems club of Birmingham, Friday
 Colonel Mitchell was invited to make a talk. He arose, figuratively speaking, with hammer in one hand and cou- pie of spikes from the wire mill at Gads- den in the other. With swift, sure strokes he nailed two of the most venomous cam paign islanders of the season. and as his hammer ceased ringing, he was saluted with a voley of hand-claps fpom the large number of business men present "CANARD No. l" was the assertion that MT. Conner while governor, had se- cured the passage of a law exempting cotton mills from taxation. This law, said Mir. Mitchell, was passed away back wonder in 1894, and MT. Conner had noth- ing to do with it. [ was instrumental in having the law put on the statute books and have never regretted it, as one of the first results of it's passage was the build- ing of the big cotton mill at Alabama City by the Dwight Manufacturing com
 
 regarded the law as an invitation to enter Alabama.
 "CANARD No 2'' was the oft-re- peated statment that Mir. Conner while governor had secured the passage of a law giving his cotton mills at Syla- cauga special rate of 50 cents ton on coal from the Birmingham district
 "In the first place." said MT. Mitchell mo such law was ever passed by the Legislature. In the second place, this | 50-cent rate on coal was made by the railroads in the spring of 1905 for ALI users of steam coal in Gadsden. Annis. ton, Sylacauga, Talladega and else where in the Anniston- Gadsden belt q worked hard with other manufactu- rers and business men to get this rate | from the railroads and am speaking lwith personal knowledge and absolute correctness when I say that MT. Conner 1 did not get any such law passed by the legislature and never attempted t have the railroads give him a specia rate on coal for his mills at Syla' 1 cauga.
 "Governor Conner" sasd MT. Mitchell l in conclusion, lis great developer, ant his work along that line alone should Sc cure for him the support of all who arr interested in the upbuilding of Alabama.
