LETTERS TO EDITOR
What Tuscaloosa Has Done

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 am writing this letter for the benefit of our citizens You know that I am this summer at the University of Ala bama. We are having a fine summer school
 Tuscaloosa has recently given to Ala bama an object lesson setting forth the value of publicity and initiative in the matter of public health. Last fall fol- lowing the development of a number Of cases of fever the city health authorities, with the cooperation of President Denny of the University of Alabama, secured through the state board of health the direct aid of the federal government in making this community model commun- ity from the point of view of sanitation and health. Nothing has been left un- done to guarantee ideal health condi- tions. Not only has typhoid been elimi- mated, but the federal antiquities have gone still further. They have made com pete malaria surveys with a view to giv- ing to all Alabama through this com munity an object lesson in the elimina- tion of malaria. There is great satisfac- tion on all sides in view of these great achievements. Tuscaloosa invites the en- tire state to come and see what has been done and to rejoice in the fine re- suits that publicity and initiative have brought to this community.
 Every community in Alabama should carefully consider what has thus been Accomplished in Tuscaloosa. Yours very truly. c. R. WEST. Tuscaloosa June 17, 1916.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS INTEREST MARKET Likely to Cause Further Demands Upon Money
 Market

New York, June 1s.-The political con- ventions, Mexican affairs. and foreign events passed in review before Wall street last week. The latter was regarded as most interesting, if not significant, by req son of the further demands likely to be made upon this countrys banking re- sources
 Consummaton of the $50, ,00o,000 Rus sian loan was followed by well defined reports of further undertakings for Eng land and France, which contributed in part to the heavy selling of Anglo-French 5s at substantial concessions. It is un- derstood that the French negotiation is well toward completion.
 As for a direct British loan, it is au- thoritatively stated that matters have not yet passed beyond the stage of informal discussion. Meantime, exports of mer- chandise and war supplies in general to. the countries of the entente allies con tinue in stupendous volume and the move ment of British gold from Canada to this center has swollen to about s62, 900, 900 with Ia resultant stiffening of discounts at London.
 Mexican situation is again critical one. Securities of foreign companies operat- ing in that republic denoted greatest de- pression in the lower quotations e tlA final session of the week Interruption of the conferences between the railroad managers and their employees was reflected in heaviness of rails, but this was partly neutralized by the restor- ation of dividends to the rates existing before the outbreak of the European war by Louisville and Nashville and several less important lines.
 The stock market was wholly in the hands of the speculative element whose operations were naturally restricted by
 impending uncertainties. Further liquida- ton of specialties was observed, except in sugars, which were notably strong

COTTON MARKET IS RULED BY WEATHER Prices React From Decline on Complaints of
 Moisture

New Orleans, June 1S.-Weather condi- tions ruled the cotton market last week, prices reacting from the early decline on complaint of too much moisture in the belt. Price changes were narrow. the extreme range being 1s to P points. Ear ly in the week the trading months were sent 15 to 20 points under the pre- vious weeks close. From this there was rise to a level to 4 points above. The close was at a net loss of to ' points.
 Liquidation of long contracts was a factor around the opening of the week and the market sank under the pl assure. The large consumption figures for Ameri- can mills put out Tuesday by the cen sus bureau helped steady the market and favorable influence later was the weakness of the ocean freight market. Locally the rate to Liverpool was cut $175 per 100 pounds, the lowest price since last November. Bullish traders were confident this would stimulate the export demand.
 This week the market promises to be more of a weather affair thal anything else, although there is an increasing dis position to pay more attention ro the Mexican situation. Continued rains would stimulate bullish sentiment, and excess sive rains would create something close ly resembling a crop scare, since al- ready some portions of the belt are ccm- blaming of foul fields, and complaints of boil weevl damage are incl casing. Wet weather would favor the spi cad of the weevil.
 On the other hand, fair weather would allow labor to get into the fields ard would encourage short selling. During this week the trade will begin to form conclusions regarding the July condition figures, and there will be more guessing over the acreage, since the government s acreage figures will be issued with the coming condition report

MRS. JENNIE LEWIS
 SAYS SHE SUFFERED
 FOR TEN LONG YEARS
"I Can't Tell You How Glad l Am I Found Out About
 Tanlac," She Says

T commenced to feel better after talk ing Tanlac for three or four days" said Mrs. Jennie Lewis, who lives on Route No. 1, Box 55, just out of Birmng- ham, "and when you consider that I've suffered for 10 years with this trouble, what this medicine has done for me seems almost beyond belief.
 All this time," she continued, q had nervous headaches and indigestion and stomach trouble till it just seemed like nothing on earth would ever make me feel strong and well again, but I have taken only three bottles of Tanlac and it has relieved me completely. I've ac- tually gained seven pounds, too, and l feel so much better every way that sometimes I can hardly believe it's me.
 My stomach had gone back on me until I would be distressed after eat ing the least little thing, and I would have to spit up my food and suffer misery for hours. My stomach just seemed to turn against anything and everything in the way of food, and l would have a burning in my chest that felt like an apple had lodged in my throat and wouldn't come up or go cown.
 .T didn't rest well at night, and WOulQ get SD HeTNOuS lIdl eHO oii6iie est thing would worry and excite me until I could hardly stand it. I'd tried Ia good many things, but for the life of me I couldn't get relief and this condition stayed with me so long and kept pulling me down so that somehow lost heart and it didn't seem like any thing could help me.
 But person will keep on hoping a little now and then, and when I got to reading about this new medicine it got my spirits up a little and I made up my mind to try it. Well, it was just fine! The first bottle helped me, and I kept right taking it and l soon got so I could eat anything and I kept picking up and feeling better all the time.
 q don't have any more distress Nor headaches and I simply can't tell you how glad am that I found out about this medicine. Since it helped me so much my husband has begun taking it, and I am satisfied it will make him feel better rest well now and haven't single symptom of my old trouble. and as he was suffering something like ] did, I'm sure it will fix him up all right
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham ex- clusively by Eugene Jacobs Drug Store and Patton-Pope Drug Co. It is sold in Bessemer by the Pegram-Patton Drug Co. in Ensley by the D. w. Morris Drug Co.,, in Pratt City by the Gale Drug Co.,, and by regularly established agencies in all principal towns ot the state-Adv.

 Domestic railroads are sho wing a little more interest in equipment or ders, there being inquiries in the mar k ct for 13,0OO cars. 10000 to 50,0a0 tons of rails and several substantial in quiries for track accessories. The mer- chant car builders have taken orders for 245 cars. 300 center sills and for re- pairs to 1900 cars.
