THREE MEMbERSOF THIS FAMILY ARE
 HELPED BY TANLAC
My Whole Family Thinks It's a Fine Thing" Says Foreman of Big
 Plant

q can say this much for Tanlac,' said C. W. Warren, night foreman at the radiator plant, R. F. D. No. G. North Birmingham while in Eugene Jacobs Drug store a few days ago. Tt has done my wife so much good that my daughter has started taking it, and it has helped her wonderfully; and I'm now talk ing it myself for indigestion, and I can eat anything without feeling a bit un- comfortable afterward
 For several years" continued MT Warren, "my wife had the most awful pains in her back and sides and her kid neys worried her most all the time. Her stomach was all out of order and she was seldom free from headache. She got so that everything she would eat caused gas to collect around her heart. She had pains in her chest and smother ing spells at times so bad she could hardly breathe. She was very nervous and. of course, that kept her from get ting any sound sleep Then she got so weak she couldn't do her housework at all and just had to give up and was in bed most all the time. She had the best of treatment, and took all kinds of medi- cine, but nothing seemed to help her.
 ''I had read and heard so much about the good Tanlac was doing I decided to get it for her and it certainly has done the work. All the headaches. pains in the back and sides are gone now and her kidneys don't bother at all. She eats anything she wants and hasn't a sign of indigestion, and has gained at least seven pounds in weight. Her appetite is splendid and she sleeps fine and is in better health than she has been in sev- eral years My whole family thinks Tan lac is fine and I'm glad to recommend it for what it has done for us."
 The stomach regulates the condition of the blood and is the fountain head Of health or disease as the case may be. Tanlac is intended primarily for the regu- lation of the stomach and the correction of catarrhal inflammation. but it is no uncommon thing for persons who have used it to find that it has relieved them not cnly of indigestion. but also of rheu- matisn, kidney complaints. and many other. ailments not generally recognized as having their origin in stomach trou- ble.
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- svely by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-POpe Drug Co.,, in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug Co.,, in Bessemer by Pe- ram-Patton Drug Co, in Pratt City by Gale Drug Co.,, and in North Birmingham by Walker Drug Co.-Adv.

 Jim Ham is not so easy to describe haberdashically speaking. His clothes are far too numerous to attempt descrip- tion, and set off with elegant manners and boise that Is without parallel, there was none until J. Willard came along who could touch him.
 And now for this J. Willard. To outdo Solomon, Heflin and "Jim Ham is some thing of a job, but it looks like it has been done. To make a long story short he has regaled himself in green from top to bottom and a few days ago visited the House with every part of his raj ment exec that could be seen with the exception of his collar of the nilest Nile green. Upon close inspection here is what he showed. Green shoes, green socks, green suit, green hat, green tie, green shirt, green buttons, for cuffs and collar, and green stick pin. That was his outfit and it certainly was enough.
 This genial son of the sunny south was asked if he had not Judged little on Saint Patrick, who Is not due to arrive again until February, to which he replied, Well, never having seen him, I don't know, but if there's any one hereabouts or elsewhere who can outdo this get-up he's welcome to try.

 T have two more years of my term to serve," said Solicitor Black, ''at a reason able salary and if the legislature decreed that should draw an income from the state I cannot see why I should burden myself into close investigation of their motives. However, as I naturally like to work I hope that the criminal court of Jefferson county will be separated from the consolidated court bill by the supreme court.

NOT COVERED IN CAPTION
HAS TWO. MORE YEARS

Clearly argues, the clerk of the criminal court if the legislature intended to abol- ish his office, it certainly was very for getful to enact into law another bill a month later taking him off the fee basis and legislating to the end that he would be paid a salary of $3600 annually. Clerk Copeland has two more years to serve as criminal court clerk under the fee sys- tenn provided the supreme court holds that the consolidation of the courts did not abolish his office.
 If the supreme court construes the con- solidation of the courts as taking in the criminal court of Jefferson county it means that Solicitor Hugo l.. Black will be the chief prosecuting officer of the county without the benefit of court to prosecute in and without the power to tummon a grand jury for the investiga- tion of crime.

BESSEMER NEWS


 Bessemer, December 1S.-(Special) Whether the city of. Bessemer will ap- peal to the Alabama public service com mission for relief from the present water rates charged it's citizens will be de- termined by the report of the special com mittee at the meeting of the city council to be held tonight. This committee was appointed several weeks ago and has had the matter up with the Bessemer Water works company. The committee asked 8 20 per cent reduction from the present rates, but whether or not an agreement has been reached could not be ascer- tained. This matter has been before the city council for sometime and it is under stood will be brought to a focus at the meeting of the city fathers tonight Mayor Jones is the chairman of the com mittee. Another matter of interest will be the report of Dr. George Patton, the meat and milk inspector of the city. On last meeting night of the council some criticism was made as to the office, and 1t is stated that Dr. Patton will make re- ply in his report.
 NO. furnace or the RObertStOWn blast furnaces was blown in yesterday after having been completely overhauled and refined.

 Notwithstanding the fact that addi- tional help has been put on at the local postoffice it could hardly handle the inn mense amount of Christmas business for the past few days. Both incoming and outgoing mail and parcel post packages far exceed that of any previous year at the local postoffice This is considered an indication of the general prosperity of the Bessemer district.
 Bessemer's claim for the government armor plate plant was further enhanced by the offer of a free site on the pro- posed Valley creek canal by the Bes- semer Land and Improvement company. It is understood the site to be donated contains over 100 acres with several hun dred more acres available. The Bessemer Board of Trade will take the matter up with the authorities and proposes to land the plant if at all possible.

Has it been consolidated or not?'' The caption of the consolidated court bill, which was approved August 16, 1915, or a month before the Weakley bill be- came a law, follows:
 No. 217) (S. 537-Lusk.
 AN ACT
 'rTo provide a circuit court in every county in the state and for the con solidation of the chancery court and all other courts of record having the Jurisdiction of the chancery court or the circuit court or either of them into the circuit court, and to remove all pending causes and records into the circuit court, and to provide and regulate the proceedings therein"
 NOT COVERED IN CAPTION
 On the principle that the caption or the consolidated court act did not cover the taking of the criminal court, as that tribunal has no civil jurisdiction Chancellor Alfred H. Benners granted an injunction to S. H. Gore several days ago enjoining the board of revenue from paying the sum of $50 to the Commercial Printing company for stationery to be used in the transfer of cases from the criminal court docket to that of the consolidated court docket. This injunc- ton meant that the county criminal court was not part of the consolidated court act and it will be argued before the supreme court on Thursday morning.

AMERICAN FARMERS
 PLANT MORE WHEAT
Acreage Second Only to Ban ner Year 1913-COnditiOn
 Shows Decrease

Washington December 1S.-American farmers, foreseeing a heavy demand on them from warning European nations for wheat, planted an acreage of that grain this fall second in point of size in the nations history. But poor weather con- ditions sent this crop into winter dor nancy, per cent below the condition of last December, and 45 per cent below the 10-year average.
 A statement by the department of agriculture summarizing its first report on the winter wheat crop said that the increase in the plantings in the south Atlantic states was from 5 per cent to 10 per cent.
 The statement said:
 The fall pIantings of winter wheat are reported to be 2.3 per cent greater than in the autumn of 1915. The present area seeded, 4OO90, 900 acres, is the great est ever planted, with the exception of the 0,453,O 900 acres seeded two years ago, and is more than 10 per cent greater than planted in any year prior to the fall of 1914.
 WEATHER PREVENTED
 "The high price received for the pres ent years crop had encouraged an in- tention to plant largely increased acre age, but the usual dryness at seeding time throughout practically the entire winter wheat producing territory largely prevented these intentions being realized
 Increases of between 5 and 10 per cent were general in the south Atlantic states. Iowa increased 10 per cent, Ne braska and Michigan increased per cent, Illinois per cent, Ohio per cent and Kansas per cent. In the western group of states Colorado and California show increases of per cent over last year, Montana remaining the same. Utah Is 96, Idaho 95, Washington S7 and Ore gon 80.
 WINTER WHEAT CONDITION
 "The condition of winter wheat is S5.7 per cent of normal at this time. It is 2 per cent lower than last year at this time and 4.5 per cent lower than the 10-year average, ranging slightly un- der 90 in most of the eastern states and between S3 and 93 in the central states. In the west the condition is 90, or slight ly above in most states, excepting Wash ington and Oregon, where it is 72 and IS, respectively.
 The low condition is almost uniform ly ascribable to the lateness of plant ing which has prevented wheat from at taining it's usual growth at this time, and in some instances late seedlings have not yet germinated. Little mention is made of the Hessian fly, although it is in evidence to some extent, particularly in Kansas"

ARIZONA MUST
REPAIR ROOSEVELT
D--QEC|SIQN

( PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 24.-There
will be no appropriation by congress
for the repair of the Roosevelt high
way, otherwise known as the Apache
trail route. But on the other hand
there is nothing to prevent the state
or any county in it going ahead with
repairs on the road. This is the mes
sage received by Congressman Carl
Hayden in letter from John J.
Fitzgerald, chairman of the house
appropriations committee.
Owing to the washing of the road
by recent floods, Congressman Hay
den introduced a DILL appropriating
$4,000 for repairs of the highway.
While expressing their appreciation
of the magnificent scenery along the
route, members of the committee
deemed it unwise to establish a prece-
dent by appropriating funds for the
repair of one scenic highway, on the
ground that a score of others de-
served the same attention.
Heretofore it was believed that local
authorities or the state could not re-
pair the road as it is in forest re-
