forego their movies and concerts in the
main hall to work at their unfamiliar
tasks.
Next to the success of the vocational
training classes, Warden Kirchwey is,
perhaps, most proud of his dietary and

LEEDS SAYS HE WAS NOT ABLE ID WORK
 FOR THREE YEARS
Carpenter Was in Badly Rundown Condition. Takes Tanlac and Is Ready for Work
 Again

"Yes, sir, you may publish it in the papers that I say Tanac has put me in shape for regular work again." said MT B. L. Leeds, in Jacobs drug store, few days ago. MT. Leeds lives at 1916 Seventh street N, Birmingham; has followed the carpenters trade all his life and is one of the best mechanics in the city.
 I've not been able to do very much work for the past three years. I've been in such bad shape continued Mir Leeds. My stomach has been so badly out of order and I've had indl- gestion so bad that I've not been able to digest enough food to hardly keep me out of bed. and it's been just about all I could do to drag around, and that's mighty bad fix to be in when you depend on your muscle for liv- ing. When I would eat, my food would sour and give me heartburn, and often make me so sick that I would have to vomit, and it would burn my throat and mouth almost like acid, and what I would eat didn't seem to do me a bit of good. About year ago the sick spells got to coming on me oftener, and my head just above my eyes would hurt me so bad at times that it seemed like I would go blind. My back and legs got so they pained me and ached all the time, and I was so nervous that I couldn't hardly sleep at all, and I had lost weight and strength right along until felt just about as no account as man could feel to be up at all.
 T took lots of different kinds of medicine, but hadn't been able to find anything to help me except for lit tie while at time, until one day a friend of mine told me about how much good Tanlac had done him, and with out losing any time I went to Jacobs drug store and got me a bottle, and could tell change in my feelings all most as soon as l started to taking it. I have taken five bottles now, and my appetite is fine, I can eat anything want and have no more trouble with my digestion. My food don't sour, and I never have sick stomach any more, and what I eat is giving me strength and making me muscle as it should. I'm not troubled with those terrible pains over my eyes now, and my back and legs have stopped hurting me. I'm not nervous in the least and I can sleep all night so sound that it's hard to wake me up in the mornings. Tan lac has done lots for me and I'm feel ing better than have in long time, and I want everybody to know about it."
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham by the Patton- Pope Drug company and the Eugene Jacobs drug store; in Ensley by the Morris Drug company; ii Bes- semer by the Pegram- Patton Drug company; In Pratt City by the Gale Drug company, and in North Birming- ham by the Walker Drug company Adv.

PERSONAL CHATTER

From reports received here, nearly every
 drug man in the territory was down the
 Central of Georgia and Atlanta, Birming-
 ham and Atlantic last week. Alexander
 City entertained six of the drug sales
 men in one day.
 S. NJ Cox is the 'Flying Dutchman''
 of the local tribe. From Tuesday morn
 ing to Friday night of last week he cov-
 cred more towns than could be listed on
 a full page of legal paper. His route
 ranged from the sloping hills of Jeffer-
 son to the hustling Georgia city of Co.,
 lumbus; back over the Talladega noun
 tains with such flying start as to jump
 clear over the Coosa river; stacking up
 at Pell City only long enough to pick
 up Ed Lewis and bring him on to Bir-
 mingham. The big Missssippian set a
 record for speed and ability to thorough
 ly cover territory.
 J. D. Leslie says he is going to Hunts
 vile if he has to fly. His friends are
 wondering if he can fly any faster than
 he can speed his nine-passenger Cadillac. Dr. H. H. Scrape is looming up as a
 real mint king. Every nook and corner of the state is being filled with his lit tie chasers.

At any rate, he danced on his own feet more in the old-fashioned
 sets than he did in the later dances. Morris Beck is some committee sec
 retary. If you don't believe it, ask Charley Abrams
 W. B. Rowe reports that fishing is good on the lower Warrior. He takes a day off now and then, but always holds up his end of sales work, and, incident ally he holds up his end of the line in a fishing party.
 w.. A. Brown says he is glad there are lot of dippers besides cattle dippers; else he would soon go out of business. F. P. Dunnam says that all is in readi- ness for the shooting of the big gun at Huntsville May 26 and 27. He is go- ing over, as you can imagine A letter last week from Ajax Davis in the Mississippi, delta contains the infor- nation that he is headed for Alabama and will arrive in Huntsville about May 25, in time for the big show.

Emerson's Habit of Thought

Henry A. Beers in the Yale Review.
 Another puzzle in Emerson, to the gem eral reader, is the centrality of his thought. remember a remark of Prof. Thomas A. Thacher, upon hearing an ad- dress of w T. Harris. the distinguished Hegelian and educationalist He said that MT. Harris went long way back for a jump. So Emerson draws lines of rela- tion from every least thing to the center.

Of the three months which constituted the first quarter of 1915 In January these earnings were, using round numbers, sl,- 6S7,000, and these were about as small earnings as Judge Gary ever reported. In February, the earnings were S2,s3S, ,Ooi and there was considerable encourage ment stimulated by this increase. In March the earnings were s7132,0o0. and upon the figure '7 these watchful men put their indentifying fingers, saying that this figure showed the turn of the tide. At that time however. none of them ventured to predict that there would be better than gradual increase in 1916, not dreaming that January of this year would make a record about IS times greater than January of 1915. or that February of this year would make record about F times greater than the record of February of last year, or that March of this year would report the greatest earnings in a single month be- ing s15,01O.000 more than the earnings of March 1q15
