 Now, when Jane moves, they have her number" and can readily recover the remnants of wearing apparel and the owners have the pleasure of iden- tifying her clothing before 1t is aired in police court; thanks to a practical ruling. If 1t serves with the washer woman, 1t is of equal value in other instances of suspected employes-and 1t will be especially helpful now, when there will be few police left. and the washing is being distributed over an unprotected territory. If it saves in tine small affairs of home what must 1t mean to the merchant and the deal Ter who sells on the installment plan?
 They could move to Jericho with half of Birmingham, and no way to tell from whence they came or whither they went.
 Thousands of dollars worth of furniture and merchandise could be carted from a central avenue to the suburbs of Bessemer and neither city would be aware of their loss or gEin. '
 There is no need to have a law and not to have it enforced. One man has to pay fine of s5 as an admonition to others for his careless act If it were over looked there might be some dray drivers who wanted new business, and there is money in hauling other folks things If you get way out of sight with the goods.
 This is really an ounce of prevention and needed register. and should be a valuable reference for police headquar- ters.
 Half the world moves: 1t takes a long time to own home, especially in Bir- mingham where the foot is so small and so valuable. Of course, one has to have experience in any business to know the '.pros and cons" and the Birmingham housekeepers speak from experience with washwomen in this business of keeping their clothing. This phase of public ser vice has probably not been properly under stood, yet there are many individuals and corporations that have been protected through the medium of this record, and in our panic let us not destroy this bit of paper that If of so much importance to so many people with the investment of a short time on the part of public transfer drivers: let he who fails to comply with the rules take the consequences.

PRACTICAL RESULTS OF
 THE ALABAMA ILLTTERAC4
 CAMPAIGN IN DALE COUNTY
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT By MRS.. SIDNEY n. ULLMAN

and Miss Cora Stewart is working at the Bethel school. Miss Stewart when ques- tioned about her work said: T felt that | wanted to help the people who wanted to learn. I think we teachers and any oth- CTS who love humanity can afford to give our time and talent to those grown people who want to learn and are willing to go to school
 County Superintendent Marchman re- marked, in speaking of the school work: This is the greatest thing ever put on foot in Alabama. It looks like somebody is going to work for nothing, to help the poor fellow who didn't have the chance"
 All of these schools have on an average of 10 to IA adult pupils. the attendance Is regular and the pupils are interested and grateful From the report 1t is easy to gather the majority of the pupils never before had chance. The report gives the following plan of campaign which sounds practical and workable. and the reeults are certainly encouraging
 "The Dale county illiteracy campaign IS being conducted along two specific lines Teachers of unfinished public school terms are urged to open school earlier in the morning than is the custom in order to complete regular school work. The chill dren are then dismissed and the adults are taught for two hours. Another plan is to teach afternoon school without any connection with summer schools for chill dren of school age. Both plans are work ing successfully.
 ''The plan of teaching those who will not attend school is to begun In their homes, and at a later date, if conditions justify it, moonlight schools are to be organized
 Before the school Is organized the super intendent secures the assistance of one or more of the district trustees, the teach CT or some interested citizen in making house to house canvass of the district, and in listing the names of the illiterate persons public meeting to which a general invitation is given every person in the district is then called.
 So far Dale county has done the most successful work along this line in the state and it Is to be desired many other reports of as hopeful 8 nature will be soon sent in.
 The optimistic of us expect when the legislature has passed so many good laws for the human welfare of the state Ala bama will be whitewashed of its sins of omissions and blossom forth beautiful in its regeneration.

WILLIS TELLS WHY TANLAC IS POPULAR Because Preparation Con- tains Real Merit, He Says
 in Statement

"If I have been successful with Tan lac," says G. F. Willis, southern dis tributor, "it is because the preparation contains real merit.
 "Tanlac is the result of many years of arduous study by Mir Cooper and his principal chemist. In fact. the two of them have carefully watched its de- velopment from the beginning of the experimental tests to its present state of efficiency.
 'In cases of catarrhal affections of the mucous membrane, stomach, liver and kidney complaints, I believe there is nothing so far discovered that will equal the action of Tanlac.
 Ever and anon someone suggests something that may tend to better our conditions. our business or our socl0- logical state It has, therefore, given MT. Cooper pleasure this time to offer to the world Tanlac.
 The success the preparation has achieved in Louisville Lexington, Knoxville, Nashville, Chattanooga and dence that my confidence in Tanlac is well placed.
 "A large percentage of your best and most prominent people are now using the preparation, and they are daily testifying to its almost miraculous powers as a medicine of exceptional value in instances of catarrh, stomach, liver and kidney Arrangements, nervous delibility and in cases where superior tonic is required.
 'It is true that the demand for Tan lac has been large, but no larger than had expected. The people are only awakening to an appreciation of the full value of such preparation. Tan lac's success in your city will be just as great as it has been in Knoxvil'c c, Louisville and other cities"

 Continuing, Sergeant Longhurst said: T have not been sick exactly, but have been all out of shape for several months. l was constpated and bilious and had no life or energy, and just simply had to drag myself around. I was also nerv- ous and restless and did not sleep well. My appetite was poor, and I would fre- quently suffer from indigestion and pains in my stomach. At times l was almost afraid to eat certain dishes, such as fat meat and other things, knowing if I did So I would suffer for hours aft . .erwards.
 This medicine was just what l needed to straighten me out. It went straight to the spot, and l began to im- prove immediately. My appetite is good and l can eat anything with a relish. I also sleep well. and no longer have that tired feeling. For instance. l can now eat bacon or fried chicken for breakfast without suffering the slightest discom- fort In fact I enjoy my meals and can eat like a schoolboy. When I go to bed at night l sleep as sound as a log, and wake up in the morning feeling re- freshed. l no longer have that tired, 'draggy feeling. and find my work real pleasure.
 -'Tanlac is certainly all that you claim for it. and even more. because l do not believe there is another medicine on earth that would have caused me to gain fifteen pounds in so short time.
 Commenting on the above statement Mr. G. F. Willis, the southern distributor of Tanlac, said:
 "A tired, dragging feeling of the body, sluggish mind and dull memory, depres- sion of spirits, nervousness, stomach and bowel trouble. are among the nu- merous symptoms of condition from which a surprisingly large number of American citizens suffer"

More than 15o,00o persons are now taking Tanlac, the premier preparation in Kentucky and its vicinity. So great has been the increase in the demand in this community and elsewhere that it has been necessary to enlarge the ca pacity of the laboratories at Dayton, O.
 Heretofore 1t has been possible to turn out 5000 bottles of Tanlac 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 en- gagged, and arrange to care for de- mand greater even than the sanguine expectations of L. T. Cooper, the fa- nous owner of the remedy, had taken into account
 MT. 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 it is said that more than 150. .000 persons are taking Tanlac, this gives only hint of the number of bottles bc ing sold. It has been shown that nearly every person who takes one bottle gets more.-rAdv.
