ADJUSTMENTS
"The Bohemian Girl"

The Boston English Opera company an organization favorab1y known to To- cal patrons of the theatre, appeared at the Jefferson yesterday afternoon and last night in "The Bohemian Girl. The company, headed by Joseph F. Sheehan has sung this opera in Bir- mingham on previous occasions. The performance last night was well at tended and much enjoyed. MT. Sheehan has an established reputation as a tenor, which requires no comment at this late date, He was in his usual good form and received excellent sup port from his company.
 The part of Airline is taken this sea son by Mirth Carmen, young woman who has personal charm, histrionic ability and one of the best voices heard here in sometime. Her rendition of the ever popular q Dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls" was eXquisitely done, and her singing throughout the per formance was delightful. Miss Carmen proved one of the most engaging prima donnas who has ever apeared here in "The Bohemian Girl"
 In addition to MT. Sheehan and Miss Carmen, whose art contributed ma terially to the pleasure of the perform ance, Arthur Deane acquitted himself in capital style as Count Arnheim and won deserved applause TOT ms prlncl- pal number, "The Heart Bowed Down. y Robert A. White made very good Devilshoof and the other members of the cast, notably Miss Elaine de Sel- lem as the gypsy queen, were accept able
 The tuneful airs of "The Bohemian Girl" and the blending of comedy and rathos in it's theme make the piece a perennial favorite. It seems never to grow old nor to lose it's drawing power.

prosecutor Mr. Brewer earned such a attorneys never cared to come to trial against him.
 MT Brewer is young man who came up from the ranks. A native Ala abamian, in early life he was a railroad employe, and as such put himself through the University of Alabama until he attained his law degree. After leaving the uni- versity Mr. Brewer became associated with the law firm of London & Fitts. In the aggressive campaign for solicitor MT Brewer aided Hugo l.. Black in his winning fight and when success crowned their efforts the first assistant solicitor ship was rendered to him.
 Recently the reorganization of the firm of London & Fitts was decided upon and G. w. Yancey and Walter S. Brewer were named as additional partners Friends of MT Brewer yesterday congratulated him sirable partnership. but at the same time expressed regret that the county was losing such an able prosecutor How ever, Assistant Solicitor Brewer will re- main in office until next September and in time it is expected that the criminal Gockets of the county will be well cleared Solicitor Black said:
 Tt is with considerabl regret that hear of Walter Browers resignation, but am glad it will not take effect until September l. Until then Mir Brewer is certain to render invaluable aid to the county and state in the numerous crimi- nal prosecutions that are on the docketS ''

At the Lyric

"Nothing out of the ordinary" would not be misleading for caption on the bill at the Lyric the first part of this week.
 All of the acts were of the song and dance variety, with the exception of Cheebert's Marvellous Manchurians who proved highly interesting in va rious intricate acrobatic stunts" In point, the "Manchurians" are the head liners this week, and merit that richly coveted position on the bill, as they are about as good set of vaudeville athletes as have been seen in Blrm1ng- ham in several seasons
 The first number on the programme was in reality the best entertainm ent on the whole bill. Fagg and White as this team of blackface workers style themselves, were clever, and quite unusual in that they brought out some rather original lines in the dia- feet of the negro characters they as- sumed
 Weimers and Burke in 'The Dancing Teacher" presented fairly interest ing speciality, in which dancing pre- dominated The personality" of the feminine member of the team was dis played to such advantage that the act was decidedly chic-if nothing else.
 Harry Wardell was billed on the programme as comedian. It IS qulLe possible that he is.
 Jeanette Childs was rather petite and fetching looking as "a singing com edienne." The singing part was ex- cellent as Miss Childs really offered one or two clever songs.
 The moving pictures were quite UT to the usual standard and among the ads and announcements flashed on the screen the most interesting to the large Monday night audiences was that the Lyric proposed to, return to its old time policy of reserving seats, begin ming next week. An excellent move

HOT SPRINGS TRIP FAILED ID RESTORE [. [. SHAW'S HEALTH "Tanlac Put Me on My Feet When Everything Else Failed" Says We'll
 Known Travel
 ing Man

"This Tanlac put me on my feet when trips to Hot Springs and Ltthia Springs failed, and I'm only too glad to say a good word for it whenever 1 can, said c. E. Shaw, a well known travel ing salesman, who resides with his mother at 1911 Park avenue, Birmlng- ham.
 Not only that" he continued, but l tried all kinds of doctoring and noth- ing seemed to help me but Tanlac l was in mighty bad fix and had gotten 50 worn out and run down that didn't see how 1 could stay on the road any longer. In fact | was making arrange ments to come in and give up my 1ob. I had reached the point where 1 couldn't keep the place.
 T have had a complication of troubles for the past three or four years, the most serious of which seemed to be a form of diabetes. My stomach was in fearful shape, too, and 1 simply could not eat enough to give me the strength necessary to keep going. | was always in pain of some sort, either my back, legs or some other part of my body. l grew very nervous and restless and many night I scarcely closed my eyes
 q frequently had a fever and l was greatly weakened and run down. For merIy I had been robust and active and l suppose it was my determination more than anything else that kept me from dropping out.
 There is no telling how much of my money went for doctors bills. medicines of one kind and another, and then trips to Hot Springs and to Lithia Springs came out Of my salary from first to last but nothing seemed to line me up at all until finally I made up my mind to try Tanlac.
 Really. 1 had no idea that just one bottle would do me the least good and I was actually surprised to find that within a few days my appetite was coming back to me. I felt hungry and no matter what l ate l relished and digested it. Then strength came back to me and my sleep was more reStful
 By the time the first bottle was used up I felt so much better and stronger l went right ahead with my route and have been improving ever since. That has been only a few weeks ago but al ready I am back to my normal weight of 200 pounds and feel almost as well as I ever did in my life. It picked me up so quick I can hardly realize what has taken place.
 "I have so much faith in this Tanlac that I have put my mother on it as she needs something to build her up; and there is no doubt about Tan1ac doing that. So long as I can eat heartily and sleep good I will have no trouble in keeping up, I am sure, and that is what I am doing right now"

Everyone admits that these things are needed and no one denies that they would be splendid financial investments. It seems, then, that all that remains is to get the different ideas as to details settled and adopt some feasible plans for financing the work I under stand that the city and the county are both ready to help and that all the of ficials of the city and county are fully alive to the needs of the situation.

BEAUTIES OF LAKE BANKHEAD

'In order that every section of Bir- mingham can get the full advantages of the Warrior river' said c. H. Ohme, en- gineer, q think the city should not only construct the proposed east and west highway, but should have a north and south highway running from the noun
 tain to sAcipco and another from North Birmingham to West End. There are in dustries of every kind scattered through out the city that will want to take ad- vantage of the river and transport their freight by trucks when the shipments are in less than carload lots and these highways would enable them to get this advantage Then, when the city is con nected with the river by a permanent highway, Lake Bankhead and the sur ro undng country will become a great recreation and pleasure resort, The bet ter connections all parts of the city have with the stream, the greater will be the commercial advantages and the greater will be the pleasure the, people derive from the beautiful stream and the splendid scenery along it's banks"

EAST AND WEST HIGHWAY

q am greatly interested in the move ment to enable Birmingham to get the utmost advantages from the Warrior river" said James Weatherly, city com missioner "and think the city should build an east and west highway, run ming from East Lake to Ensley and Vivian, and make it part of the War rior highway Of course this highway should be of permanent construction. It is possible that under the law, the city and county could construct this high way together, and I am confident that the financing could be done without trouble. I do not think the cost should be assessed against the abutting prop erty, as is the case with street improve ments and pavement, but possibly a plan can be arranged to let the abutting property stand part of the expense All these are details which are now being considered. think proper high way to the Warrior is one of the most imperative needs of Birmingham and Jefferson county, and I am in favor of the city doing it's full part in this work"
