PROGREsS|VES Wife
WILL SUPPORT WILSON

Mrs. Thomas u. Knight. wife of the
president OF the Progressive Club OF
Chicago. has announced that she will
support President Wilson. She has
been prominent in suffrage work and
was one of the leaders in Illinois In the
Progressive party movement.
Mrs. knight will work with Mrs.
George Bass. chairman OF the Woman's
Bureau OF the Western Democratic
Headquarters for the balance OF the
campaign.
II believe that Hughes Is a reaction
ary," said Mrs. Knight. Wilson has
proved more progressive than the for:
mer leader OF the Progressive party.
Il am ineensed at the undeseryed
abuse and Misrepresentation which
have been heaped upon President WI.
son by Col. Roosevelt when President
Wilson has put into law over one-half
of the Progressive platform. for which
he has received not me word OF COM
mendaiion from Col Roosevelt and
that In itself convinces me that Col
Roosevelt is not sincere.
Il will never forget the tears that
many OF us shed in The closing hour
0f the recent Progressive National
Convention when we realized what we
could never have been made to be
lieve. that the convention was staged
as a pantomime auspicIous OF Col.
Roosevelt's desertion of the most loyal
followers any leader In America ever
had.
1T is impossible for him after such
lisloyalty ever to lead sincere Pro.
gressiyes back 10 the Old Guard OF
the Republican party.
Il will cote for President Wilson's
reelection because he puts humanity
above property and because he has
acknowledged by his actions the pro-
gressive spirit OF this cour and
because OF the enemies he he made"

WHO is TELLING THE TRuTHr

WHO is TELLING THE TRUTH
viii some one. for the sake of &C.
curacy and in the name Of truth, In
form US authoritatiyely who is telling
the truth in regard to Mexico?
Senator Borah. In his speech in og.
den, fixed on Woodrow Wilson the In
dIctment that. under the present adj
ministration. Americans had been
killed In Mexico as never before. ard
he placed the entire responsibility Oh
the president for whatever outrage
have been perpetrated.
Now comes Senator Robert l.. Owen
of Oklahoma in a speech in Phoenix,
Ariz.. last night, In which Theodore
Roosevelt Is virtually called prevari-
Gator for saying what Senator Borah
did.
The Associated Press. in reporting
Senator Owens meeting. says:
Senator Robert L. Owen OF Okla
honla, in a speech here today, replied
to statements of Theodore Roosevelt
on his recent western campaign tour
that during President Wilson's admin.
istratiOn over 500 Americans and 300
Chinese" have been killed in Mexico.
Senator Owen took issue with Colonel
Roosevelt that Americans and Chi.
nese have been placed on the same
footing" In Mexico with respect to pro-
lection. He said:
Mr.. Roosevelts premises are un.
true. Under Roosevelt's own admins.
tratlon at least sixty Americans were
reported killed: under Taft, fifty-seven
Americans; under Wilson. 1l9 citizens
and thirty-eight soldiers and marines,
During Taft's administration 1856 for.
eigners were reported to the state de
partmcnt as killed In Mexico, and dur
ing Wilson's administration only $50
were reported, including seventeen
British, thirty-eight Spaniards. four
Germans, four Japanese and seven
Chinese
Roosevelt did not prevent the kill
ing OF Americans by intimIdating Mexi.
co when he had power during seven
years. No president OF the United
States by intinlidating the Mexican All.
tkorities could prevent outlawry In rc-
volution-torn Mexico. where life Is un-
safe for Mexicans and foreigners alike.
"Roosevelt's statement that the
president had abandoned 5000 AmcrI.
cans exposed TO n Mexican mob AT
Tappico Is q base campaign canara
and calumny.
Admiral Mayo ordered HIS boats in
and Captain Doughty of the British
navy requested Admiral Mayo to per.
nit British marines to remove ali for
eigners TO prevent loss Of life. This
was done, and all Americans were sent
home by Admiral Mayo without any
loss OF life. Captain Doughty put his
request on the ground OF protecting
British subjects from exposure to bat.

VAST NUMBERS

 THEIR SYSTEMS
Auto-intoxication Is F'oun- dalton of Most Disease and Ill Health, Says
 Noted Authority

Advanced medical authorities assert that. standardization is the foundation of most of the ills and diseases to which the human flesh is heir. "This condition" says L. T. Cooper, who has made an exhaustive study of the sub ject, lis nothing more or less than the slow poisoning of the vital organs, produced by the excessive mental and physical strain We are forced to endure, which renders the organs lame and in- active and permits toxins-actual poi sons--to be generated within ones own body t
 Tn the process of digestion num- Der of poisonous substances are pro- duced, which, although absorbed in the alimentary canal, are prevented by the liver from entering the circulation. As a result of overwork. fatigue products, sarcolastic acid and prolonged mus cular spasms may lead to auto-intoxi- cation. Excess of uric acid in the blood is associated with high arterial pres- sure, headache and nervous rritability, and is an indication of imperfect metabolism (mal- assimilation and au- to-intoxication is the result as shown by the fact that marked improvement oc- CUTS by suitable diet and treatment.
 Symptoms of standardization may be associated with various nervous phe- nomena. Bile in the blood may be at tended by stupor and mental depres- sion and the term melancholia, signi- . flying black bile, indicates the impor- tance which has long been attached to the liver as an organ, the derange ment of which causes nervous depres- sion.
 Sometimes the trouble starts in the liver and kidneys, and sometimes it starts in the stomach or elsewhere but in any case the blame lies with the faulty methods of living. which has be- come so prevalent of recent years, and it is the more important organs that suffer the final damage. As when they falter or fail in their duties the body fills up with poisons and the victim readily yields to their baneful in- fluences. Stomach and intestinal trou bles, catarrhal affections of the mu- cous membranes; in fact, may be called standardization or self-poison- ing.
 "A tired dragging feeling of the body continued MT. Cooper, Tor slug gish mind and dull memory, intense nervousness, headaches, stomach and bowel troubles, poor circulation, inn perfect digestion, constipation and de- spondency are common symptoms of auto-intoxication, and nine out of every ten people in the average city like Bir- mingham are likely to be so affected.
 'Tanlac. the powerful reconstructive tonic. was designed especially to over come these troubles, and it is MT. Cooper's theory that Tan1ac is the di- rect remedy therefor. It builds up the constitution, weakened by disease and mental and physical overwork, quick ems convalescence, and is an upbuilding' tonic at this season of the year."
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-P Pope Drug company; in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug company and in Bessemer by Pegram- Patton Drug company.-Adv.

Allies Now Making So Many War Supplies That Our Exports of Them Will Begin to
 Fall Off
By HOLLAND

New York April 20.-(Special. )-Upon the return from Europe of the junior partner in the house of J. P. Morgan & Co.,, E, R. V. Stettinus, a few days ago, he was quoted as having said that he had not brought back a pocketful of war orders, although he had observed that in some publications the statement was made that his pockets were filled with orders of this kind.
 Those who have had opportunity to take heed of the ,masterful manner in which MT. Stettinius has directed that de- partment of the Morgan house to which is committed the commercial agency of Great Britain and France must have realized that there was no need for him to go to Europe to secure war orders. These have come in plenty and sometimes IS emba rrassing profusion Furthermore, MT. Stettinius is not buyer in the sense that those whose vocation it is to buy commodities for the department stores or railroads are buyers. Apparently his sole duty is to receive instructions or requests from those countries across the sea of which J. P. Morgan & Co. are the commercial agents, and, having learned what these requests involve, he under takes to meet him, both in the spirit and the letter.
 The spirit of the contracts which he has made and will hereafter make in the name of the countries which J. P. Nor gan & Co. represent. is illustrated by the invariable policy of the Morgan house since it began it's service as agent for Great Britain. Some days, after the war Is ended, the British Parliament will un- doubtedly authorize committee to make investigation into the manner in which supplies were purchased and paid for, and into kindred activities made neces- sary by the war. When that commit tee meets, it will be possible to answer questions which seek information respect ing the relation J. P. Morgan & Co. bore to the purchase by England of commodi ties in the United States. Very little time will be required to answer this question. To the uttermost detail record has been kept and will continue to be made which will when complete tell the whole story. Furthermore, it will show that neither J. P. Morgan & Co. nor any of dealt in the securities of the corporation from which purchases were made. The house has declined to aid in financing corporations whose commodities were or are likely to be bought by Great Britain. If, in any case, MT. Stettinius discovered that some industry in which the Morgan house had in the past an interest was better than any other qualified to meet an

OXFORD SOLDIERS

Anniston April 21-(Special. .)-Lewis R. Morgan, assigned from the regular army to do duty with the Alabama National Guard, is spending this week in drilling and instructing members of Company M. Fourth infantry. Sergeant Morgan, who has visited Oxford several times before. is stopping with Mrs. Hanna, on Chocco- locco street. The local soldier boys are turning out in full force every night and feature of the work being done this week is the perfect cooperative spirit evidenced by the members of Captain Harrison's crack company.
 More than a dozen gayly decorated cars filled with boosters paraded through Oxford, Anniston and surrounding coun- try yesterday afternoon, inviting every body to come to Oxford Monday, Tues day and Wednesday to the Radcliffe chautauqua attractions.
 An excellent programme of entertain ment has been arranged for three-day attractions next week and the commit tees are hard at work arranging for the entertainment of the many visitors.

 The Woolworth department stores, cap italized at s1OO,oO0Ooo and operating 800 stores throughout the United States, have secured 10-year lease on the building now occupied by the Anniston Trading company on Noble street and in a very short time will begin the operation of one of their big department stores in this city. The Woolworth people will remodel the interior of the building to be occu- pied by them and in doing so will spend $10,000 or $12,0O0. The location secured by the big department store concern is con- sidered to be one of the best located houses in the retail section and the es- tablishment of a Woolworth house in An niston is considered to be a stroke of good fortune for the city and surround ing section.

OTHER POINTS CITED

For example, if the estimate were sub mitted for a class of improvement that would cost, with reasonable. economy. $10.- GOO per mile and the Secretary of Agricul- ture thought that different kind of inn provement would serve the purpose at a cost of $So00 per mile he would have no power to disapprove the original estimate, as his authority is only to determine what would be the reasonable cost of the improvement proposed by the state high way department. Of all the many points which it might be highly important for him to consider. he is restricted to that one point. He is required to notify the state highway department of his determi- nation, and thereupon the state proceeds to carry on the improvement. Thus hav- ing no power of approval of the selection of the roads, having no power to pass upon the suitability of the proposed im- provements, having no power to disap- prove the surveys, plans, specifications, and estimates of cost the Secretary of Agriculture would be compelled to act all most in the capacity of bystander. It is further provided in the same section that the construction or improvement or maintenance shall be in substantial com pliance with said surveys, and in the face of this lax requirement. the Secretary of Agriculture is called upon by this section to ascertain if the road has been finished ir compliance with said surveys, plans, and specifications, and then to cause to be paid to the proper authorities of the state whatever remains unpaid of the amount due under the terms of the act.
 The House bill carries a provision for aid to road maintenance This committee believes that the application of federal funds to this purpose would constitute a never ending drain upon the federal treas ury without appreciable results in the form of greater mileage of improved roads, and would tend to stifle the spirit of self help on the part of local com. mupitieS
