 REINSTATEMENT Well Known Birmingham Woman Voluntarily
 Endorses Tanlac

'1 just want to tell you what Tanlac has done for me-" said Mrs. E. Percy of 1925 North Twenty fourth stree l. Birmingham, in talking to the TaniaC representative at Patton-Pope's yes terday afternoon. For long time l had been troubled with a bad stomach and poor digestion" she continued such pains as I would have after eat ing anything, I can hardly describe It just seemed like my stomach was on ire, and after a short time the most terrific headache would set in and l would get so nervous 1 could hardly keep from screaming. Frequently I would not close my eyes all night long
 When those dizzy, nervous head aches would begin, l simply had to go 10 bed and stay there until they would ! wear off and for days afterwards l would feel so depressed I could hardly get about.
 'I had read a good deal of Tanlac," continued Mrs. Percy, "and so when MT. Cooper was here a short time ago, I went to see him at Patton-Pope' s store. After giving him all the lnfor- nation could about myself, he told me my trouble was evidently catarrh of the stomach and that he believed his preparation would relieve me. l did not lose any time in getting a bottle of it and began at once to take it as he dt- rected.
 Now what I have come here for this afternoon" said Mrs, Percy, "is to tell you what I think of Tanlac. I would not feel that l was doing right if I did not make public its wonderful work Why, in two or three days after I commenced to use 1t, l got better and have been growing stronger every day since. Just can't get enough to eat and enjoy every mouthful. Everything seems to agree with me and I suffer absolutely no pain. Have not had a single head ache since l began using Tanlac and sleep like child. I really feel like Q new woman and am so grateful to Tanlac for it all. You may rest assured that l am going to take another bot tie and will be only too glad to tell anyone what I think of this wonderful remedy. I hope you will publish what tell you as feel 1t my duty to let oth- CTS know about it."
 Tanlac, the Premier Preparation which Is being so widely commended throughout the country, Is sold in Blr- mingham exclusively by Jacobs Drug store and Patton-Pope company It Is also sold in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug Co.,, and at Bessemer by Pegram- Patton Drug Co.-Adv.

 Germans Are Satisfied
 "A. So far as finances are concerned, Ger unlimited time. We produce in our own country virtually everything needed for war Thus expenditures for war purposes resolve themselves into savings. These are at the empires disposition, as pay ments on the war loans and deposits are flowing into the banks and savings insti- tutions more plentifully than in times of peace. The total of deposits today, after more than 5000 100000 has been paid on war loans, is higher than at the outbreak of the war. The gold reserve of the Reichsbank almost has doubled since war began. Notes and deposits in the Reichs- bank covered by gold are 331s per cent against 26.7 per cent in the Bank of France and 21.7 per cent in the Bank of England
 5. The confidence of the German people In our financial strength Is as unbounded as their confidence in our military super iority. After 12 months of war imperial SIS are quoted at 70, points below the quotations in March, 1914, the minimum price of British consols, 5, is Il per cent below the quotation in March, 1914; 8 per cent French rentes, at 69, are 19 per cent below March. 1914.
 Work, skill, discipline, organization, economy, and last, but not least the cate- gorical imperative of patriotism has up- held Germany in the first year against our enemies, and will help us further to win the war. HEFFERICH."

At even the suggestion of any other sort of home or society in Birmingham l today we look askance and shake our heads, and we undoubtedly have req son to do so. But suggestion to be used at some future day will be in or der. This home Is in no way dupli- cation of any work we already are try ing to care for, it does not deal with an element easily reached, but with the down and out woman that needs a place to stay to tide over the out-of-work period that often lands her in Jail.
 free, temporary home for stranded out-of-work girls and women, not of the skilled domestic or clerical classes, but the young factory girl, the seamstress, the day work woman, the scrub or the washerwoman, honest girls and women who want to stay honest, such a home will meet the pitifully urgent need of the hungry, hopeless woman, the un- derpaid girl and even the half-starved child who come almost naked. with no place to lay their heads.
 Chicago has such a home. Last year they sheltered girls by the hundreds, most of them were cold and hungry, many sick, scores were just out of the hospitals, some brought In lost dis couraged. penniless from the railroad station All such women need help and they cry out to you to help them.
 The Young Woman's Christian asso- citation does not undertake to shelter this class of girl. In such a home as Is suggested there are no questions asked. Here a woman may be received with out price or inquiry, and be received like human being
 It Is to be hoped that at no far dis tant time the Social service" clubs of Birmingham will be able to undertake the establishment of such a home

as drew them up for the commit
tee. do not believe that the
churches can, either. directly or
through representatives, vote on a
subject so complicated and techni-

in the way Of impartial education

views in my little book, Social Du-
