A Wife Alone Entitled to Her Hus-
bands Name.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Is il customary and seemly 10
give the name of a welded wife 10 a
woman who is the mistress of the
wife's husband? Even if the man
maintains for his mistress separate
establishment, it would seem that as
long as he has a legal wife that wife
should have exclusive use Of his name.
To give the wife's name promiscu-
ously cheapens the tie and vulgarizes
marriage. II would seem that society
and the courts and professional men
and the papers should unite to keep up
our none too lofty standards of life.

this that the 65O-volt operating current

TO THE KNITTERS OF SOCKS

ne Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Since the outbreak of he war
there has been a frenzy Of industry,

lone could almost liken it TO the STAN
pedinG in the nature world at the
gathering of the storm to alleviate the
frightful suffering entailed both far
and near.

has been accomplished.

those thousands tpartisans of one side
or the other who are knitting and
working in various ways for the SOL
diers and those in distress would stop
the war were il possible TO do so at
large personal loss? ! think If asked
to put the question to themselves some
might answer glibly in the affirmative
without seriously imagining the details
of the sacrifice. and others would be
incapable Ct answering even themselves
truly; bu; the great majority woulc
probably say If they believed there
was a chance of their side winning,
mo. We had better fight il TO fin
ism" their partisan feeling strengthen
ing this decision. And those in TIE
churches who have publicly prayed for
peace. Do they expect the Great
Father TO work a miracle in their
brothers? Or in themselves?
When they are ready themselves 10
be non bipartisan, 20 cede at any time
what they consider their right for their
brothers benefit. to feel at all times a
brotherhood so universal that II knows
10 distinction of race, color or creed,
to be willing that that side shall over
come which will be OF The greatest good
TO humanity. even though 1t be at
personal cost to themselves then the
prayer will have been answered in
themselves, and out from them will
surge 4 mighty wave of spiritual power
such as can and will regenerate the

The trade unions. which can handle
the union side of the question and also
probably can 20 further, and the char
itv and church organizations, which can
reach the non-unlon workers and the

dent. It was without feature. It was without recrimination. It was without unusual interest.
 It was one of the quietest political cam paigns in the history of Birmingham. The people had evidently concluded that a 'run-off' would be necessary. and that as result, time sufficient in which to become wrought up'' would be afforded.
 The most industrious of the candidates, it is believed. was Mir. Ryall. He was the youngest of the four though not the less experienced. He had staked his all on the outcome, and it was necessary for him to work. He went out among the voters every day and every night and saw them all. In the summary that fact will materially count in his behalf, 1t is believed.
 MT. Barber was also active. He made a house-to-house campaign. He made speeches on the street corners, and the burden of his song was:

Judge Lane contended that as the com mission had accomplished great things in the past, it could, if left alone, continue to accomplish great things. Mir.

250,OOO USING TT IN KENTUCKY
Demand in Kentucky So Great Big Plant at Dayton Must De Enlarged

More than 350,ooO persons are now using Tanlac, the premier prepara- tion, in Kentucky and its vicinity. So great has been the increase in the de- mand in that community and else- where that 1t has been necessary to enlarge the capacity of the laboratories at Dayton, o.
 Heretofore it has been possible to turn out 5000 bottles of Tanlae daily under normal conditions. With some additional efforts 10000 bottles could be prepared
 Now, it is necessary to add to the plants capacity, increase the force em- ployed and arrange to care for de- mand greater even than the sanguine expeditions of L. T. Cooper, the fla nous owner of the remedy, has taken into account.s
 Mr Cooper has met with sensational successes in the sale of Tanlac else- where, but even these had not prepared him for what has happened hereabouts When il is said that more than 250, ,000 persons are taking Tanlac. this gives only hint of the number of bottles being sold It has been shown that nearly every person who takes one bot tie gets more.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-10-10
RYALL HAD MORE
 ENGAGING PLATFORM

It is generally admitted that MT. Ryall had more engaging platform than either of his opponents. He declared for cut ting off needless expenditures and trans ferrng the money thus saved to other channels-to the lighting of the city, the policing of the city, the protection of the city from fires-and in this way, se- curing reduction in insurance rates.
 He declared against the custom in force at present of requiring parents to pay tuition for their children In the public schools of the city of Birmingham. And he declared for the innocent amusement of moving picture shows on Sunday in order that the masses might have an op- portunty for relaxation.
 And there Is no question: 1t is said. but that MT. Beddow and MT. Barber were injured because of their utilization in 1914 with Captain Hobson as against Oscar ". Underwood, a resident of Bir- mingham. The spirit which asserted it. self last year and gave MT. Underwood the most magnificent victory ever achiev- ed in this city and county was in evil dence during the campaign. And thus, from another source, came support for MT Ryall.
