DID AS HEX FR VDS TOLD HER AMI IS NOW GLAD THAT SHE DID
Wife of We'll Known Con- tractor Has Gained Ten Pounds Since Taking
 Tanlac

''I had several friends who had been taking Tanlac, and it had helped them so much I decided to give it a trial and see if it wouldn't help me, too, and I just want to tell you that I wouldn't take anything in the world for what it has done for me- was the statement made Tuesday by Mrs T. A. Pitts, wife of the well known contractor and builder who lives at 203 North Sixty-first street.
 After taking four bottles of this medi- cine I felt wonderfully improved and could tell l was getting heavier every day and when l got on the scales I found that I had actually gained 10 pounds. Just think of it, 10 pounds on four bottles. and you simply can't inn agine how delighted I was.
 Before I began taking Tanlac I suf- fered great deal from nervousness caused from 1ndigestion-I believe they call it nervous indigestion-and at times it just seemed that I would nearly go crazy. I had lost considerably in weight and could see that I was losing strength right along, and had not been able to find anything that would give me any relief
 At times my appetite would be very good, but there were certain things wouldn't dare touch; for instance, the very things I enjoyed the most, such a s vegetables of different kinds and meats, I could not eat without suffering after ward but I don't have to diet myself any more, and everything seems to agree with me. Indigestion is a thing of the past, and I am not nervous any more either.
 q know now that Tanlac will do just what they claim it will, and I am only too glad to recommend it to others sui fering as 1 did
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by the Patton-Pope Drug company, and Eugene Jacobs drug store. In Ems ley by the D. w. Morris Drug company. In Bessemer by Pegram-Patton Drug company. In Pratt City by the Gale Drug company, and in North Birmingham by the Walker Drug company.-Adv.

BUSINESS MAN AND FARMER MUST GET
 TOGETHER IN WORK
Mrs. Mathis Says What Helps One Helps the Other-Interests Are
 Mutual

Now is the time for the business men of the towns to get together in and interest of the farmer" said Mrs. c. H. Mathis, Alabama's famous woman farm lecturer who is registered at the motion hotel. We have first got to get the business men ready before we preach diversified farming to the farm CT If he raises the things we are urging him to raise he must have a marketing place for them and to get that market we have to convert the business men.
 Sometime ago l went before the Chamber of Commerce in Gadsden and put the proposition of mixed feed plant before them. I was unable to convince them that they must get ready to take care of the corn and other grain our farmers were going to raise. They took no steps to do this; so I went before the Chamber of Comm merce at Attalla, which is only five miles from Gadsden. and I said: Look here, men, our farmers must have mar ket for their grain and 1t is up to you to build a mixed feed plant in At talla and buy their product. I showed them where there was money to the farmer in such an enterprise, and also to the men who put the money into it. convinced them and a few days aft erward I learned that they were build ing the plant.
 'I am going out after the business men. The farmer cannot succeed with out his help and neither can the busi- ness man succeed without the farmer. Each is essential to the other and they must work together The bankers must advance money on hogs, corn and cat tie just as they have been advancing g money on cotton heretofore"

to the river last Saturday and state that the roads are in splendid condition, with the exception of a mile or two near the lock.
 The surprising feature of the outing was the unexpected prowess of Dick Walker, who although novice at the sport made a catch that he is bragging about yet. After several hours of per sistent effort he succeeded in landing a pike as big. well, without exaggeration, easily as big as a full grown-minnow, and is so proud of the fact that he has brought it to the city He expects to have it stuffed and placed on exhibition in the show window of the Birmingham Arms company. Despite it's microscopic propor- tions, Dick is as much elated with his catch, as Will Abernathy was when he caught full, that is, a full basket, and he expects to develop further his new found talent from time to time, and later to carve his way to undying fame in the annals of the piscatorial art.

ernment's declaration of its aban- donment of the policy which has so seriously menaced the good rela- tions between the two countries, the government of the United States will rely upon a scrupulous execution henceforth of the now altered policy of the imperial gov ernment such as will remove the principal danger to an interruption of the good relations existing be- tween the United States and Ger many.
 The government of the United States feels it necessary to state that it takes it for granted that the imperial German government does not intend to imply that the maintenance of it's newly an nounced policy is in any way con tingent upon the course or result of diplomatic negotiations between the government of the United States and any other belligerent government, notwithstanding the fact that certain passages in the imperial governments note of the 4th inst might appear to be sus- ceptib1e of that construction. In order, however, to avoid any pos sible misunderstanding the gov ernment of the United States noti- ffes the imperial government that it cannot for moment entertain, much less discuss, suggestion that respect by German naval au- thorities for the rights of citizens of the United States upon the high seas should in any way or in the slightest degree be made con- tingent upon the conduct of any other government affecting the rights of neutrals and noncombat- ants. Responsibility in such mat ters is single, not joint; absolute, not relative.'

There were nine in the party and every jack man of them is an expert fisherman, or rather, thinks he is, and as a consequence 75-pound catch of trout, pike and cat was reported on their return. Of course they did not bring anything like that amount home, stating that they cooked and ate a large part of the catch at the camp. besides giving away several of the larger fishes(H As matter of fact they did bring a string of fish to the city.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Birth of a Nation

Great preparations are being made at the Jefferson theatre to care for the Confederate Veterans who are ex- pected to flock to see David Wark Grif~ fith's great spectacle and motion pie ture drama of the Civil war, "The Birth of a Nation" which will be at the Jeff ferson all next week. The film has made two previous appearances in Bir- mingham and it is estimated that 40,- 900 people witnessed it's presentation. The picture was returned here for the reunion in order to give the veterans, many of whom live in cities which have not yet been visited by the pro- duction, an opportunity to witness scenes re-enacted in which they had a stirring part.
 At the Lyric
 Although McDevitt Kelly & Lucey have presented their sketch, "The Piano Movers and the Actress in Birmingham before they have lost none of their abil- ity as entertainers. The two men do some exceptionally good eccentric dancing during which they introduce comical per formances on the piano. The situations and lines of their piece are amusing and the woman of the trio contributed a pleasing personality, to which a shapely figure lent additional interest. This is one of the best numbers on the bill for the first half of the week at the Lyric.
 The Five Annapolis Boys" in sailor suits, and with a drop representing the deck of a battleship, sing some up-to-date songs, and also a few of the old favor ties. They have good voices and con trive to avoid the stiffness that often mars a speciality of this sort by a more or less accurate portrayal of life on board one of Uncle Sam's fighting ships.
 Roy & Arthur offer an excellent bit of funmaking and some sSillful juggling in Fun in a Dining Car" They de- served much better reception than they got at the first performance last night. The blackface comedian is exceedingly droll and the other members of the team does some graceful feats. However, in real dining car the wear and tear on the china is not quite so great. The stage was filtered with broken plates and laughter greeted every one broken.

me,
She lured me on with soft delight;
| followed and she chaffed at me,
And hid her face with hair like
night
And when I'd waited, torn by fears,
Repentance made her glances
sweet;
She wept, and 10, her rainbow tears
Spread drops of crystal at my feet.
But when at last | held her close
Elusive April brought to bay
She blossomed out like a lovely rose
Within my arms and turned to
