THE LAND OF POVERTY

Poverty is land to which no one
goes willingly, which all strive In
stinctively to avoid. There seems to
be no rest or ease in 1t. Who goes
there old is buried there. The young
spend their lives trying to get out OF
it. But the way out of it is narrow
and steep, like the path to heaven. 1t
almost seems to be the path to heav-
en-, so hard is the struggle to get
through it. 1t is white with the
bones of those who have died in it,
as the way of Jerusalem was once
with the bones of the Crusaders.
Some, giving up the struggle, marry,
and have children there; little ones
who never lose the mark of their ma
tivity. The trampling of the hard
footed necessities have told upon
them; their hearts are furrowed by
the tracks of hopes passing into dis
appointments. They know no other
land than poverty, and are haunted
by strange misconceptions Of the land
of the rich; the people who live in it
and the people who get to it.
Who Of us, who now inherit want
as surely as our fathers did wealth,
has not at one time or another made
a pilgrimage to that Gibraltar of
memory, the home of our childhood,
of our Olympian beginnings?
To you who have not made that
pilgrimage, 1 say, do not attempt it;
you will never find what you seek
Thread the way to it only in mem
DRY, If you would find it. And yet,
we who have been in this land we
have described, who have buried
some of your old ones there, and 1t
may be some of your young ones,
who have spent your lives trying to
get out of it, or helping others dear
er than yourself on their way out Of

default of the one lack that sent you
there? Love, hope, courage, light in
darkness, strength in weakness, for

the face of indignity and humiliation
did we not find them growing
there, growing naturally, not culti-
waited artificially as they are of ne
cessity in that other and upper land?
Was less truth to be met there, or
more falsehood from others, less self
sacrifice, less wifely devotion or fam
lily loyalty, than in the land of your
lost Inheritance? Did you find the
slim purse less charitable than the
fat one, the heart under the shabby
cloth less sympathetic than the one
under the fine?
And-but there is no use to ask it
the land of poverty lacks,
it lacks not ideals; the beautiful ones
that, as Schiller sings, fly from us
one by one with our youthful years,
leaving us at last to fare on alone
without them to old age. They, as

HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, November 4-(Special)
That tho planters of the Tennessee valley
lowlands need have no fear of great dam
age being done in their cotton fields by
the boil weevil next season is the claim
made by L. D. Fuller. farm expert Of the
Southern railroad, in a signed statement
given Huntsville newspaper. Only In
the mountainous sections south OF Tus-
cumbia is the boil weevil doing any dam
age in the Tennessee valley region this
year. No damage may be anticipated in
Madison county next year, but during
the following year. If the weevils multiply
as they have in the past. there will be
slight injury to the cotton crop. The
frost on the night of October 20 stopped
the multiplication of weevils for this
year and if the temperature drops to zero
this winter. the weevil may be extermi-
mated wherever that temperature pre-
walls, according to Mr.. Fuller. The aver
age cold weather will not exterminate
them and more depends on the state of
the weather In June and July than in the
average winter.
Big fires are burning in the forests on
many Of the mountains of this region and
owing to the dryness of leaves and under
brush. considerable damage is being DONE
On Monte Sano there are several fires
and the summer cottages have been en-
dangered by fires from several direc-
tions.

MRS. FOSTERS TRIP
TO BIRMINGHAM HAS
PROVEN VALUABLE
New Orleans Woman Found
Relief Here From Merry {.
GUS Breakdown

Mrs. Belle Foster, who is stopping with
her sister at 300 Poplar street, is going
Jack to her home in New Orleans Wen
and happy woman after more than SIX
months of suffering and her trip to BIZ
ningham has turned out to be one OF
untold value to her.
ut was in Birmingham that ] found
out about Tanlac, and got relief that has
turned me from a weak, bed-ridden suf-
ferer into a strong, happy woman, VINO
can eat anything and go anywhere With
out the least effort said Mrs. Foster
when talking to a Tanlac representative
who had called upon her at her sister S
residence few days ago.
Il had lot of different troubles con-
tinued Mrs. Foster My whole system
was all run down. / could hardly eat
ANYTHING, no matter how well it was
cooked, and / was so nervous that it
was the hardest matter in the world for
me to get any sleep. 1 got to the point
where I Just hated for night to come, and
the thought of laying there for hours
wide-awake almost drove me distracted.
Sat last 1 had to give entirely up
and take to my bed and 1 was there for
eight weeks, not able to do a thing.
The doctors didn't seem to know what
my trouble was, so / decided to doctor
myself and had read and heard SO much
about this medicine, Tanlac, that I de-
clCeQ II might 10 lllS ooiHc 6OOu, dhu
it certainly did.
81 took three bottles and my improve
ment was simply wonderful. My appetite
was splendid and everything did taste so
good. All my nervousness was gone, and
L could sleep like child and get up feel
ing great. l thought l could do almost
anything, but just when | had gotten
to feeling unusually good, L had an ac-
cident and injured my back and this put
me back in bed again.
But L had found out what I needed
now, and L wasn't going to experiment
any more, SO 1 just lay in bed and took
more Tanlac. I took three more bottles
and in a short while / was up and
feeling strong once more. | am in fine
shape now and can go wherever I want
to go. My nervous trouble has left me
altogether, and / am eating heartily
again. I know my improvement is all
due to Tanlac and / bless the day that
brought me to Birmingham and this Won
derful medicine that has proved such a
Srelief from my sufferings. l am going
back to New Orleans soon and you can
certainly rely upon me to tell everybody
] know about Tanlac."
If the truth was known it would be
found that thousands of other half-sick,
nervous, run down men and women are
suffering just like Mrs. Foster, and don't
really know what is the matter with
them. What they really need is some
thing to build them up and tone up their
vital organs. Tanlac, the powerful recon-
structive tonic, does that very thing.
Tanlac is sold in Birmingham eXclu-
sively by Patton-Pope Drug Co. and Eu-
gene Jacobs drug store; in Ensley, by
d. w. Morris Drug Co.; in Bessemer,
by Pegram Patton-Drug Co.. in Pratt City,

with Two eXCeptOnS, ana these were upon
a Sabbath when a terrific storm ragged.
In summer seasons, hundreds have
thronged the church lawn, around win
dows and eagerly caught his words as
they drifted through. Every point OF
vantage in his church auditorium, seating
about 800 people normally, was occupied,
and 1t was not an infrequent occurrence
for him to begin his services from 81
minutes to an hour in advance of the APP
pointed time because of the edifice being
filled and, out of difference to those pack
ing the house in advance, he would not
keep them waiting unnecessarily. This
was but one of his many considerations
for his people and friends.
SPEAKS IN VERNACULAR
DR.. Stuart speaks in the vernacular
of the people, and in the sentiment of
the street. He is not nigh brow" in
manner, though his colossal brain
would do credit to any man of great
learning. He mixes among the masses,
and studies and accepts their point of
view. He communes with nature and
loves the birds and beats and fields and
flowers. He is at home in the drawing
room of the most fashionable mansion,
and likewise finds pleasure and profit
in a mission of mercy in the humblest
most poverty stricken cabin. If, in the
delivery of discourse, he should say
II seem" 81 taken" II amt got no
time" "a feller,' you folks" or other
provincialisms or ungrammatical
phrases, do not be surprised. Should
any of the representative in the con-
gregation take exception to this COM
monplace diction, DR.. Stuart perhaps
may explain that he knows better, as
he taught English and rhetoric in a
college for several years. But like
ly he will add, when / talk to you
folks, I have to use language you un-
derstand; therefore these expressions"
In fact, this is the specific explanation
he did make to a Knoxville congrega-
ton, in response to a reproach uttered
by a good sister who felt that the pull
pit was desecrated by such low brow
vernacular."
Men who have studied DIR. Stuarts
style as pulpit speaker, and who have
marveled at his wonderful and far
reaching power to attract hearers, be-
1ieve they have found the secret of his
success in his unostentation and his
thorough familiarity with all kinds Of
people and every class of civilization.
He makes his sermons practical. A
more prolific stock of stories, anec-
dotes, apt illustrations, exceptional ex-
periences has never been in the re-
pertoire of any preacher or pulpit
speaker than is possessed by this won
derful man of God. He has story for
every vital principle he wishes to i'm
press He relates an anecdote or a
personal Renaissance to drive home
the scriptural teaching. He clinches his
argument by vital statistics related in
narrative, and perhaps categorical
form. He is epigrammatic to the degree
that one never fails to be impressed
with pungent thoughts, and most last
ingly SO, because of their clever ex-
preston as given by him. The recep-
tive mind cannot fail to carry away
a rich store of wholesome thought aft

Judge Rupe in his address poke OF
the great benefits attained in the pro-
motion of better citizenship through
the work of the Order of Elks and
other great fraternal societies.
These societies, the speaker said,
inspired a true spirit of helpful broth
erhood, charity, both in the sense of
helpfulness toward unfortunates and
in tolerant respect for views of indi-
viduals and in the shortcomings Of
friends and acquaintances; inspired
real democracy and instilled in their
membership a deep rooted love of
country.
Church Remains Keystone
The church, Judge Rupe said, still
remained the keystone in the founda-
ton of our civilization and of the
Christian religion-its position an i'm
pIeSudUle one, out he expressed re-
greet that the church had failed to &C
complish the results attained by the
fraternal organizations in inspiring
the spirit of true brotherhood and
charity and exalted patriotism. He
expressed faith, however, that the
church OF tomorrow would take it's
lesson, in this respect, from the great
brotherhoods.
Judge Rupe particularly praised that
spirit of Elkdom which demands of all
its members a blind, unquestioning
love OF flag and country A more gen
eral teaching Of such exalted patriot
ism, he said, would make the Ameri-
can people the greatest and most pow
erful in the world. Judge Rupe said
that if he had his way every school
child in the republic would, at least
once each month, be thoroughly drill
ed in the meaning of love of country
and devotion to its flag so that Ameri-
can patriotism would SAVIOR of re-
ligious zeal.
