 SAYS HE CAN DO BETTER WORK NOW
Remarkable Change Brought About by Tanlac-En- tire Family Taking
 It Now

"Tanlae has made me feel better than I have felt in four years and has done me so much good I have started my wife and two little boys taking it, and they are getting world of good from it, too told my fore man the other day I would be worth more money to him soon. for l cer- tainly can do better work now
 This statement was made by R. s Crawford of 231S Eighteenth street Ensley. MT. Crawford is employed al the steel plant as pump engineer, and is a man who is highly esteemed Tor his integrity. and is well known in the Birmingham district Continuing, he said:
 T tell you I was in a bad shape and often told my wife l didn't know what was going to become of us, as it looked like l was never going to have good health any more I suffered with stomach trouble for years, and for the past four years I have just barely been able to go and many time thought I would just have to give up, but kept forcing myself along. knowing 1 had my family to provide for. My liver has given me world of trouble and nearly every week I would have to take a strong purgative to get it to work at all. l didn't seem able to digest what I ate, and my appetite fell away until I ate but little of anything hardly any meat at all for it would always disagree with me. I fell off a lot and lost most of my strength.
 T had pains in the small of my back and in my legs, nearly all the time and often would get so weak in the knees l could scarcely stand. l sui fered a great deal from sick stom aeh and had a dull, nervous headache almost constantly.
 Tn the mornings my tongue would be heavily coated and ] had dis agreeable taste in my mouth. Sleer didn't rest me and was very irregular just a sort of eat nap and I was so nervous the least noised walked me
 'I got so run down that I felt de- pressed most of the time. l would get discouraged and often I had to stor and study before l could think what I wanted to do next. l felt so bad didn't want to talk to anybody and just moped around, with no interest in any thing.
 ''When I made up my mind to try Tanlac it was about the last resort with me for I had pretty near gone the limit with medicines without being
 
 so much of Tanlac though. l thought il must be good. and now I know it is I commenced to mend right away, ano have been improving ever since started taking it. Betweer us we have used up four bottles and I have just bought the fifth.
 "Iv liver is in good shape and have fine appetite and can eat prac' tically what l want. I have more lift and energy than have had in years and sleep like a log at nights. This medicine has done me more good thar anything and is a fine preparation.

Porter Charlton Practically
 Released by Italian Jury
tContinued from Page one)

Il mer federal judge of the district of Porto Rico.
 Charlton and his bride were on their honeymoon at Lako Como. Placing her body in a trunk, he threw it into Lake Como, where it was found by boat man. Charlton fled from Italy and re- turned to the United States. He was arrested when he landed at Hokoken and confessed.
 In his confession Charlton said that his wife was subject to fits of violent temper and that when enraged she show cred abuse upon him. It was during one of these fits, he said that he seized mall let and struck her blow on the head, killing her He then put the body into the trunk and threw it into the lake.
 For three years Charlton was held pris- oner in Jersey City before he was re- turned to Italy for trial. Every legal means was used in an endeavor to keep him from being sent back, the case going to the supreme court of the United States which decided that he must be extradited. During his incarceration in New Jersey board of aliensts declared Charlton was of unsound mind and not responsible for the commission of the crime.
 Since his return to Italy in 1913, Charl- ton has been in jail at Como. The trial was delayed several times through the necessity of the taking of testimony in the United States and the examination of the prisoner by Italian alienists. The Italian alienists held divergent opinions as to Charlton's soundness of mind.
 The trial began October 5, but was post poned until October IS in order to give Charlton's lawyer time to prepare the case. On the 18th the judge refused to consent to a motion of a further post ponement and the case was carried to it's conclusion.

Mrs. Hardgrove called police headauar- ters immediately after the robbery oc- cured and Detectives Moser and Propst were detailed on the case. Neither would give out any statement other than they had received the call and had not com- pleted their investigation.
 The place where the robbery occurred is almost directly under an arc light. Automobiles are continually passing at this point and the street is much used by pedestrians. It is thought the high waymen must have worked speedily and timed the attack closely.

At the Majestic

What Do You Sell?"
 The question is easily answered this week at the Majestic where comedy in the way of sparkling lines and merry jingles are exchanged for the minor parts of smoleons at the ticket office. That is, you get the laughs the music the dancing girls and that sort of thing, you know, when you get inside after giving the pretty girl at the door the onceover and incidently your ticket.
 As for this weeks offering at the Majestic, it is best described as a musi- cal melange. There is much good fun and the audience enjoys several hearty laughs and the piece is up to the high standard set by Guy Voyer in his previ- ous efforts during his eight weeks stay in Birmingham.
 Of the principals Voyer, of course. stood out pre-eminent above his asso- oiates. Voyer was the same droll fel- low of old, with his finished style of suggesting pleasantries and his native ability to coax laughs without the archaic seltzer bottle and the slap stick. As to the remainder of the cast. Miss Harrie Lee, was quite fetching and sang pretty number. Miss Lo. raine Bernard and Miss Dolly Trathern were as in the past very much in the favor of the audience. All of the others. without excepting in any par ticular the chorus, which in this fare we'll week is even comelier than of yore, there Is only praise
 It is the farewell week of the Boyle Woolfolk players at the Majestic and certainly the amusement loving public of Birmin gham will miss the clean en- tertainments this aggregation has pro- vided this city in the past eight week s once they are gone. It Is to be re- gretted that Guy voyer and his asso- ciates cannot be persuaded to remain indefinitely at the Majestic.

''The Winning of Barbara Worth.

The stage version of Harold Bell Wrieht's popular novel, "The Winning Barbara Worth,' was the offering at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night The play was seen here last season with substantially the same cast Theodore Hardy is again appear ing as Jefferson Worth, the rugged west ern banker, whose irrigation project forms the basis of story woven around the battle of wits and capital waged by Worth against an eastern syndicate seek ing to exploit the reclamation of a desert in the west. Earl Burnside, as the pie turesque Texas Joe, is another member of the company who had the same part last season.
 The play is intended primarily to at tract the many readers of the book, but, like other book plays" it lacks to some extent the color and vividness of the novel from which it was taken. However, the main points of the story have been retained in the dramatization and par ticularly all the characters, including Worth, Texas Joe. the genial Irishman. Pat Mooney; Willard Holmes, the east ern engineer; Barbara, Abe Lee, James Greenfield, the Wall street banker, and Pablo Garcia.
 "The Winning of Barbara Worth" is essentially a melodrama and is played as such by the company. The principal parts are fairly well presented. Miss Gertrude Barker has the role of Barbara.

CISCO IS carried by this organization
 At the Lyric
 Manager Monte Semon of the Lyric has a bill of vaudeville entertainers this week that surpasses any that he has shown at the Lyric this season. Every act on the bill is pleasing and was enthusiastically received by the audiences yesterday
 "The Fair Co-eds" is a headliner of unusual merit and the comedy work of Arthur West is exceedingly clever. The act consists of seven dainty maids headed by Cecil Renard, an actress of ability. and two men. Hubert Carlton sings several songs that are popular and the work of the chorus keeps the interest at high ebb. The act is alto gether acceptable and was the hit of the show last night.
 Ben Smith, black-face comedian With a voice, sings and tells several stories that have not begun to shave. smith appeared on the Keith circuit at the close of the baseball season as a partner of Hughey Jennings, the fight Ing leader of the Detroit Tigers, in an act that was success.

Forbes s-RObertsOn

Playgoers of this city are to see Forbes Robertson. foremost actor of the time, for the last time at the Jefferson Thursday, in "The Light That Failed" and Ham let" Friday. Forbes-Robertson is retir- ing from the stage after a period of 40 years service to the drama, an abundant and illustrious career. The histrionic tall ents, the traits and the qualities of imagi- nation and artistry of Forbes Robertson have enriched and adorned the theatre and stand out in bold relief in this age, when great acting is rare.
 The career of Forbes Robertson is the history of the English stage for the past 30 years. H ehas been identified with the chief actors of his time. His own produc- tions are outstcn6ng features of the the atre of this generation. His Hamlet is the chief glory of the English speaking stage of this age. AS a classical actor he has no rival. And the classical-inasmuch as this represents the natural, solid and true school of acting, whether in old or modern drama-is reflected in all his work.
