In speaking of the contract last night, MT. Hinkel said:
 tWorl1 will be started on the build ing of what consider the finest speed way in the world within the next 10 days or two weeks. I am glad to have been the successful bidder and can promise the people of Birmingham a jam-up job. I can see no reason why the Birmingham speedway should not be a huge success from every angle.
 s'This is one of the most progress sive cities I have ever been in. Your climate is fine and the location for the speedway cannot be beaten.

TANLAC CONTINUES ID DO MUCH GOOD
 IN BIRMINGHAM
Thousands Still Using It With Astonishing and Gratifying Results-Mrs.
 Rowe Gains Nine Pounds

Although it has been nearly eight months now since Tanlac was first in- troduced in Birmingham, the wonderful demand for it continues unabated and thousands of people in Greater Birming- ham are still being benefited by it's use.
 On last Saturday alone, over 200 peopie, or to be exact by actual count, 2l9, called at the Tanlac stores to obtain the medi- cine and tell what it had done for them. Among the number was Mrs. J. O. Rowe. the well known mlliner of North Bir- mingham, who resides at 2505 Twenty first avenue. Mrs. Rowe was very en- thusastic in her statement to the Tam lac representative who saw her in the Walker Drug company last week.
 T have suffered for quite long time, she said with nervous indigestion, ac- companied with severe pains in my chest and stomach, and I was extremely rest less and nervous. I was considerably below my normal weight and had no ap- petite to speak of. I lived on d diet of raw eggs and milk, principally, and no matter how little I would eat, nothing seemed to agree with me. In addition to the indigestion, I had severe case of throat trouble, but would not yield to ordinary treatment, and on account of my weakened condition it would give me 8 good deal of trouble
 T took one kind of medicne~ or an- other all the time, and while I would at times get little temporary relief, there seemed to be no permanent cure either for my indigestion or throat trouble. grew very Respondent and wondered if was to go through life suffering in this way.
 "A few weeks ago began taking Tan- lac, and I don't mind telling you that it is the only medicine I have found that seemed to reach my troubles. I have gained nine pounds and have an excellent appetite, and have only taken three bottles. My throat does not bother me at sll now and I feel better and stronger in every way. I do not suffer any more from indigestion, nor do I have the rains in my chest that I formerly bod It is truly a wonderful medicine, and am only too glad to recommend 1t. :"
 Speaking of Mrs. Rowes case, MT. w. w. Walker, the well known North Bir- ningham druggist, said:
 Mrs. Rowes case is nothing unusual, as I see others like it most every day. It always gives me lots of pleasure to sell Tanlac, as can see the splendid re- suits this medicine is giving. I recom- mend it every chance get"
 Genuine Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclusively by Jacobs Drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company; in Ensley by the D. w. Morris Drug company; m Bessemer by the Pegram-Patton Drug company; in Pratt City by the Gale Drug company; in North Birmingham by tho Walker Drug company.-Adv.

I once thought it would be a good idea to form society for candidates female relations but think of the pro- portions it would assume. Almost ev- eryone has at least one candidate or their own, though in some instances one is owned jointly by several loving female relatives. Of course our society would have to have officers and we would find ourselves launched Into second campaign before we knew It, for we would have to show our can didate there was one member of the family who would be elected. After our offices were filled and we were successfully supplying moral stimulant to those of us who had weathered our own campaign. the election would come off and supposing, say. the president and the secretary should happen to have had candidates for the same or flee and the secretary should win. Really, though. I suppose when the election came off the society would automatically end for the successful

you knew beforehand you must have after the election. While the bottom has dropped out from you as it were, the plans have gone with it. You seem to have renewed energy and the ne- cessity of the trip no longer exists. An other trying thing is the making of excuses, and the explanations of why he was defeated that the family in dulges in. If you are defeated you are defeated, and no explanations can help; and, to put it mildly, 1t is a very disagreeable subject.
 Another strange thing about cleo tions is how soon the defeated candi- dates are forgotten. It is true that when next year they run for some thing else you straightway remember they ran and were defeated last year, but to prove to you what I say is true, can you tell me now the names of the candidates who were defeated at the last election? I wager it will take thought on your part.
