ITALY RECOGNIZES
 KNIGHTS OF MALTA

Rome, April 6.--(Special.)-A recent de- cree has recognized and revived in mil itary sense the Italian members of the ancient and illustrious Knights of Malta, an order which has over 10000 members in the United States.
 Pounded in Jerusalem in 104S as mil itary and religious order, it had grad ually through the ages entirely lost its military character, becoming in the Uni ted States in 1870 a fraternal order, and In Italy a charitable and Christian asso- citation, intended in war time to care for the wounded and sick. In this lat ter sense it maintained a grand master accredited to the pope at the Vatican, and 1t was one of the spectacles of that court to see the ancient Knights of Malta appear in their striking red tunics, marked with 8 black cross and carrying their swords.
 The official order which gave them their military character after so many hundred years contained several clauses, most of which dealt with the placing of the members engaged in hospital work un- der military discipline.

LIVED HERE WHEN . BIRMINGHAM WAS
 4 COUNTRY TOWN
Old Citizen Says: T Tried Everything Under the Sun and Nothing Helped
 But Tanlac"

T tried pretty near everything under the sun for my stomach trouble, for ] bad 1t 15 long years, and I don't think l ever would have gotten rid of it fl l hadn't found this Tanlac," said T. A. Austin, well known railroad carpenter who lives at 1513 Forty-fourth street North Birmingham. Mr. Austin has been living in Birmingham 35 years and says when he first located here this big city was nothing but small country town
 Yes" he continued. T tried good many different kinds of medicines and it just looked like I was never going to get rid of my trouble. It stuck to me for IS years and it had finally brought me to where I couldn't work, I was So weak and good for nothing, and I had to give up my job.
 I got so I couldn't eat anything that would agree with me My stomach hurt me nearly all the time and everything soured on my stomach and filled me with gas until felt heavy and could hardly get my breath. Try as would, l couldn't be careful enough in my eating to keep from having trouble, and I had no appetite to speak of and I got mighty little strength and nourishment to go on.
 T was nervous all the time and couldn't sleep at night and this kept me out of sorts and feeling weak and bad Tn the daytime lOSt lot or neSh and when I finally got some TanIac and be- gun on it I wasn't much more than q worn-out, nervous wreck.
 It's done me a lot of good, too, and it helped me from the very start. I've taken two bottles and I've come in for my third, for I've gained five pounds and am eatin' right along these days. Moth ing seems to hurt me now, for my food agrees with me and [ don't have any gas or sour stomach at all. I can't remem- Der when I've slept so well as I have here lately. and if I keep on improving l am going back to work in few days l m just a lot stronger and I feel so good I don't see any reason why I can't get back on the job.
 Tanlac is certainly one of the best things I ever tried in my life and I think anybody that it's helped as much as il has me ought to be willing to recom- mend it. It's done all I've ever heard claimed for it and a good deal more, and l think it's fine''
