HANDLING 24,OOO PACkAGESP PER DAY
Appreciable Increase in HOl- iday Business, Says Ald-
 rich and Williamson

According to statements of both Col Truman H. Aldrich, postmaster, and J. M Williamson, local agent of the Southern Express company, there is an appreciable increase in Christmas bust ness this year. Incidentally the busi- ness is being handled quicker and more economically than in previous years.
 ''We are handling about 12.OOo par eel post packages a day. said Post master Aldrich yesterday. There is also about 12,000 parcel post packages coming in the city from various parts of the country. This makes a lot of work, but in all my experience I have hibition of efficiency.
 "Of course, it is a whole lot more trouble to handle this increase in busi- ness this year than last. The parcel post now allows 50 pounds to be sent. This makes the packages cumbersome. A negro today sent 50 pounds of sweet potatoes to his relatives in Pennsyl- vania. It cost him more than the po- tatoes were worth, but he insisted on sending them and 50 pounds of Ala
 
 to the Keystone state.
 '"rhe ladies' God bless them, are very troublesome. They simply can not read the rules, but this year we are getting along very well with them and thus far none of them has pulled my hair. I offered my services to one estimable lady today and she replied {: Go to the others, colonel; I am an -postmistress and can get along However she called for my help later"
 It was very crowded at the post office yesterday and 1t did not seem that much could be accomplished in the chaos, but throughout there was system, as Colonel Aldrich explained, and things were moving rapidly.
 At the various offices of the South ern Express company there was also much confusion owing to the rush Of persons getting their Christmas sup plies But Agent Williamson eX- plained that it was all due to the laws that things were moving so slowly.
 eve are too busy to talk. l think there is more business at this time than last Christmas. There Is certain ly a big rush. Everything is being handled in good shape and the pcopAo apparently are so prosperous that they are good natured and not kicking.

VOTE FOR AMENDMENT BEST
 CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR CITY

Commissioner George Ward states that the best Christmas gift the people can Sive the city of Birmingham is to roll up big vote on next Monday for the constitutional amendment giving the city the right to regulate it's tax rate if it's cit izens see fit. He states there is little or no active opposition, but every voter should make it a patriotic duty to go to the polls on Monday and vote on this important measure
 It is understood the people throughout the state realize the fairness of the prop osition and will, by large majority, give Birmingham home rule. While it is not

This gives away the whole movement. It is nothing less than petition to exploit the Sabbath for gain. Now,
 suggest that the commission amend
 the present law as follows Let the main body of the law stand as it has always stood closing all business eY- cept those specially mentioned ssin t.-it, and amend the proviso to read as fol- lows: Provided, however, that the giving of strictly high grade musical and photo entertainments on Sundays. and the charging of admission there to, shall be lawful, if such entertain

WILL HAVE HAPPY ! CHRISTMAS FIRST
 TIME IN YEARS
Mrs. Cowser Was Confined in Bed Two Months. Now Able to Get Down Town

This is going to be a real happy |Christmas for me-the first l have had
 in long time-because am now able ito do things for my children I haven't Ibeen able to do on account of the |wretched condition of my health" said Mrs. Minnie Cowser, who lives at 211 |Second street, Thomas a suburb of |Birmingh Mrs Cowser's husband is Ia valued employe of the Republic Iron land Steel company.
 Tt certainly does me a lot of good |fo be able to get down town again lafter being sick so long. I am thank
 ful that I learned about this wonder
 ful Tanlac, for if I hadn't I wouldn't
 be on my feet now.
 For five years I was a great suf- iferer from stomach trouble. I got to
 where I couldn't eat anything but Liquid food. and often could not hold
 that on my stomach. I had smothery
 Feeling and was so nervous I would go all to pieces at the least bit of excitement. To tell you the truth, I had pains all over. My kidneys were An bad shape, and for two months I
 was in bed all the time. I became a sregular invalid At times it seemed my heart would almost jump out. A few aeat-naps through the night was all Sthe sleep I got. I fell off until l was really afraid to get on the scales to zweigh. I was almost living skele- 4 ion. I was no account to myself or anyone else. Sometimes I was so cold land numb I feared I must be para syzed
 I "As last resort I began taking RFanlac. I am now on my seventh bot Ele and the change has been so great I can't realize I am the same woman Day by day I have gained strength land weight. Tanlac has put me in kshape to do all my own housework swithout any trouble. For the first time En months I am making trips to the Heity, and just to think, that only
 short time ago I was an invalid. 'eNo one will ever be able to con- Eince me that there is another medi- Zine on earth to equal Tanlac. I never Eireamed that such a medicine could Ever be made. A short time after be- Egan taking it I weighed and found [had picked up five pounds, and while haven't visited the scales lately, Know I have gained good deal more |bince that time.
 "Those smothering spells are a thing Eff the past; the pains about my body Eaave all gone; my kidneys bother me Eio more; my sleep is restful and Eat whatever I want, and it don't hurt |ne a bit. Tanlac and Tan1ac alone ISlas saved me!

 tcnishment has been felt--not publicly ex- pressed but privately admitted-that there should not have been a more cordial An terest rate as exceptionally good, and peachable, for it is represented by the good faith and credit of two nations backed by their resources.
 One who has vivid recollection of the manner in which our national loans were Heated in the day sof the civil war said this morning that it might be we'll for those in England who are astonished that we have not jumped at investment in the Anglo France loan to recall the fact that it was for a time with the utmost difficulty that bonds of the United States were placed in the London market until the last year of the civil war; when Eng land was persuaded that the Confeder- ate government would not live. At first none of the great bankers of London took the slightest interest in these American leans, neglecting, as they afterward re- gretfully knew, the opportunity to buy these bonds in depreciated currency. At one time so great was the depreciation that English investors could have bought bords of this kind at about 50 cents on the dollar in comparison with gold. These who did buy gained large profit through the appreciation. The same kind of security was behind the Anglo French loan--namely the credit and good faith of the nation backed by it's stupendous resources. This security the Dutch bank CTS much sooner apreciated than did many of the bankers of England.

 That Country CAUSE OF LETHARGY . IN ABSORBING LOAN When United States Offered Loan During Civil War England Was
 Last to Appreciate Value
 of Security
By HOLLAND

New York, December 2.-tSpeclai) While there appears to be not the slight est disposition manifested by those who are leaders in the financial district and in the business world, so far as inquiry has disclosed, for the government at Washington to take any diplomatic step in the present Austrian crisis which is not in accord with the maintenance Of national honor and the responsibility of the government to protect its citizens, nevertheless the hope is frankly expressed that there may be found a way for hon orably composing our differences with Austria
 It has been noticeable that whatever sentiment may have prevailed with re- spect to the other belligerent nations, there has always been more or less kindly disposition toward Austria. Some times things are said confidentially which justify the suspicion that the men of in ternational finance suspect that Austria has been more or less subject to the dominance of Germany, and there have been intimations that, some months ago, Austria would have been glad to com pose her hostilities, especially with Italy, if she had not been restrained from so doing
