Reopening of Jefferson County Bank Encouraging-Iron and Steel Strong CT Than Since the War Started.
 Furnaces Going in, Blast

Pay rolls will reach normal in the Bir- mingham district in August for the first time in two years.
 This is the conservative belief of busi- ness and industrial men throughout the district made in view of the present rate of improvement in practically all lines of industry.
 Already normal conditions have been reached at many of the individual indus trial plants of the district and if the rate of improvement continues 1t Is stated by those who know that there can be no doubt but what normal conditions will prevail through the district In August.
 The pig iron market is stronger than at any time since before the war started. Many makers are predicting $11 iron on a No. basis within the next 30 days, and pig iron stocks in the Birmingham district have reached the lowest levels in years. Within the past 30 days five furnaces have gone into blast and others are now in pro- cess of repairs and will be placed in blast later

Railroad Business Improves

having decreased from 10 to 50 per cent several months ago. The Alabama Power company has under construction several transmission lines and a authoritative re- port is additional units at Lock F and ad- dtional power plants. some of winch prob ably will be steam, are to be constructed in the near future. Other corporations are feeling the same improvement and every where is to be seen the new activity and better feeling.
 Allied industries like machine shops, foundries and diversified industries have not been missed. Several of the machine shops of the district are running at full capacity and others are very near it. The coal business Is feeling the effect. although material improvement here has not yet been so marked. and several in active mines will probably be placed in operation in the next few weeks. The re- sumption especially of the furnaces of the district will cause a consequent demand for coal which will soon be felt by the operators.
 With the return to normal of these larger industries and the many smaller ones, literally thousands of men are re- turning to work who during the past eight or 10 months have either been idle or doing only what odd jobs they could pick up. The Birmingham Trades Council reports that all crafts are returning to work and several of them already have reached normal conditions again.
 This. of course. has an inevitable re- suit The next agency affected by the
 widening circle of inGustry and pros perty will be the retail merchants-the grocer, the clothier. the hardware man and every line of retail business For

Pig Iron Is Moving


 Pig iron Is moving exceedingly good on old orders. The railroads are hauling hundreds of tons out of the district every day, it Is said. and the movement tc Mobile and Pensacola for export is espe- cially large. Inquiry is brisk and the ma iority of iron is now selling on quota tion of $l025 for No foundry, Birming. ham.
 The steel mills at Ensley are operating full capacity on bllets and rails witt bookings such that this rate of operation Is anticipated throughout the summer The actual tonnage operation of the mill. is about s5 per cent of its rail capacity owing to the rolling of billets for export which is slower work.
 The wire mills at Fairfield are operat- ing at S5 per cent capacity or over. and bookings are very good. Reports are that prospects for the wire mill are that 1t may be pushed up to full capacity op- eratIon at any time.
 Last week the big duplex basic phos- phate plant of the Tennessee Coal, Iror and Railroad company at Ensley began operations and both the Tennessee com pany and the Woodward Iron company have now in the course of construction great benzol by-product plants which it Is understood will be operated to full ca pacity as soon as they are completed The storage bins of the big fertilizer plant will hold 1000 tons and the plant is to be operated so as to fill these bins by the time the fertilizer season opens

NOT THE TIME FOR A SMOKE
Old Lady, Filled Up With "car- tridges," Was In Natural Fear
 of an Explosion.

A robust old woman in the noun tains of north Georgia was i'll for the first time in her life and a doctor was sent for. Partly by persuasion and partly by force, the physician induced his patient to swallow some big qui- nine capsules-a simple enough opera tion, which, however, scared the old woman almost to death. She was soon able to sit up and her daughter thought she would give the conva- lest ent a treat. She took her moth- er's corncob pipe from the shelf" or mantel, filled it with tobacco, and picking up a live coal between two sticks, started with it toward the bed.
 Ma she said, brightly, jes' look what got for you"
 Git away from me. Sary,' she screamed in terror. Take away dat fire. Take hit away! Don't yer know Is done plum filled up wi cartridges ?" Chicago Ledger.

STOP EATING MEAT IF
 KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
Take a Glass of Salts to Clean Kid neys if Bladder Bothers You
 Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheu- matic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir- ritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kid ueys aren't acting right, or if bladder 'bothers you, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, con- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kid neys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.
