WADE'S LETTER

1t will take a million bales Of cotton
per year to keep Alabama in normal
financial condition. This amount can
be grown in excess of the diversified
crops sufficient to produce a living at
home, and in spite of the boil weevil.
Alabama farmers have seen the worst
of it this year. With boil weevils all
over the state, as bad as they will ever
be, and the worst July weather ever
known, conditions will improve as ia
vorable seasons return. Help us make
a million bales Of cotton next year and
help yourselves to enjoy prosperity

New York, September 24.-(Special)
Lots of interesting features about these
strike riots we are having up here. OF
course, they may not be like the war in
Europe, yet, at the same time, they give
one an idea of it, 1 believe. They Illus

what violent, unreasoning anger can do.
They also make ones respect for the

One calm afternoon this week 1 rested
upon a more or less comfortable seat

end of Central park appeared Outside
the park a car of the surface variety
passed, going southwark. Suddenly 1t

their sympathizers (and certainly they
were the most sympathetic sympathizers

get the motorman away from his post,
and though not word was spoken, the
arguments seemed most effective.
There was quite a bit of a struggle,
and when this was at it's height squad
of officers charged the rioters. AS they
saw the policemen coming one of the
strikers gave some sort of signal to the
others. think he must have said: Let
'em have it, men," though 1 could not

streets of Manhattan. nonexplosive. you

The policemen never paused. On they
rushed. right into the thick OF the fly

the rioting men gave ground; slowly. it
is true, and with apparent reluctance,
but they retreated, just the same. One
of the officers chased striker into the
park The men hid in the shrubbery, but
the officer went in after him and brought

In another moment, however, another
squad of bluecoats jumped to his assist

fectively When the serimmage ended in
favor of the policeman. the officer who
had chased the striker was lying prone
on the SrouHu' apparently UNCONSCIOUS,
but with his left hand firmly gripping
the collar of the man he had captured.
Perhaps you can realize that it takes
bit of nerve to make an arrest after
that fashion. Well. it does. whether you
know it or not and I heard number
of people near me commenting on that
fact. The whole affair was intensely
exciting.

women wrecked, often, often from
avertible causes.
She saw you and me starting out
on our married life with a per-
fectly recognizable danger stalk
ing at our sides. A beautiful wom-
an like Wanda, whom you once
loved, never ceases to be a danger
so long as your friendship with her
is kept up. You know that, 1 know
it. We threshed 1t all out, but de-
termined to risk the danger rather
than sacrifice our principle of lib
erty for each other and trust in
each other.
So you must admit my mother
saw clearly and was in the right.
She did what we all should do
acted according to her highest con-
victions. She mad nothing to gain
for herself. She had everything to
lose. Look how readily she went
to pack up her poor belongings and
leave our home.
How unerringly she foresaw
that you would think her meddle-
some and care less for her! II
breaks nay heart to see how she
tried to do her best for us and
silently submitted to your angry
TullUB.
But she shall not go. David. My
mother shall not be sent packing
off like a stranger who has in
Cured your ill will. Her motives
must be considered. She is my
mother, remember; forever part
of me. And you must be as patient
with her as If she and 1 were one
and the same person.
/ fell this very deeply, David. and
I insist that you go Immediately to
my mother and apologize-not
merely go through the form of say
ing you regret your anger and
harshness, but make some sort OF
sincere amends. You must keep
her with us. Nothing else will do.

: Ever since James was 2 years old
continued Miss Goldsmith, "he has been
afflicted with stomach trouble and his
suffering was so great at times we
thought he couldn't live. Two or three
hours after eating, especially the evening
meal, he would begin to complain of
severe pains in his stomach. which would
increase until he would go into convul-
sions. These spells would come on five
or six times a month and last about 90
minutes and he would be unconscious for
an hour. The attacks would always be
preceded by nausea. as we'll as pain in
the stomach. Some said he had heart
trouble and others said it was vertigo.
His suffering at times was Intense anc
at others he described it as a choking
feeling and no one seemed to know the
real cause of his troubles. His condi-
ton kept him down to almost skeleton
and it was pitiful to see how he suf-
fered.
His mother took him to Washington
university ut ST. Louis, and many other
places for treatment and we spent thou
sands of &ollars trying to find some re-
lief for him. but it was all to no avail.
He became discouraged himself and

spells. We were in constant dread day
and night and the least noise would wake
us in a fright, thinking it was James

worry has been lifted. James is now a

a positive fact; we could see marked
change in his condition for the better
from the first bottle. He always COM
planned of having to take other medi-
cines, but he seemed to like Tanlac and
since taking five bottles he is 16 pounds
heavier and don't look like the same boy.
He's simply looking fat and fine and
he almost worships Tanlac. He wants to
eat all the time and can eat anything
without it hurting him. 1t makes us re-
joice to see James well and stout and
enjoying life like other boys and we thank
God and the man who made Tanlac for
giving us the medicine that has saved

mere house guest, who has offended

When my mother asked Wanda
