The Old General Muster.


Under the old militia system that
prevailed about seventy years ago the
states were divided into districts, each
one having company to when all
men of soldier age We're required to
belong and give few days each year
to military drill.
Every year there would be gen
ersi muster" at which the various COM
panies would gather and under the
command of plumed and bespangled
officer would perform the various evo-
buttons and go through the manual OF
arms that would strike with awe the
surrounding crowd of women and chill
dren gathered to witness the heroic
displays of fathers and brothers.
These general musters were great
events in the times of our GRANDPA
theirs. They were social as well as
military and often adorned with feasts
of warlike provender. In one of his
speeches Tom Corwin told of general
muster in which the brave militiamen,
with bayonet and sword, charged on
a pile of watermelons and cut the red
hearts out of the enemy.-Coiumbus

An Odd Team

Over one of the trails of the Sahara

which carries light freight. The team
consists of camel and a small mule,

your lordships cows, and fear it can
not live well, then. of course you

Difference In Compilations.

The difference in the compilations OF
people is due to the varying amounts
of pigment or coloring materials In
the cells of the skin. Very light peo-
pie have very little pigment: very dark
people, those with dark eyes and black
hair, have a great deal of this coloring
material in their cells A great many
people are neither light nor very 10 t
They have less than the dark complex
Toned people and more than the light
complexiened people. When the hair
turns gray it is because the pigment
has disappeared. AS this is due to the
loss Of this coloring material. dark COM
plexioned people turn gray sooner than
light complexioned people The struc-
ture of the skin showing how these
cell are made in layers can be seen by
examining the skin with a microscope.

Water Birds.

Water birds. singular as it seems.
are the only ones whose skins never
by any chance get touched by water.
So long as they are alive AMI long
after they are dead they float with an
air chamber all round their bodies,
cunningly contrived of waterproof
feathers closely overlapping each 9th
er. Thus, in a sense. water birds may
be distinguished from all others by
the fact that they never wash. though
we can hardly blame them for that,
because if water could penetrate be-
tween their feathers the poor things
would never be dry

BERNARDO CAPTURED
 IN LOUISIANA CITY
Assailant of Mrs. Daisy Valley Tracked By Detectives to
 Gulf State

Eugene Bernardo, alias Gene Obernia alias R. J. Valley, the Italian who stabbed and seriously wounded Mrs. Daisy Valley. g. stenographer in the employ of McCartv- Ormond Brokerage company. Morris ave- nue and Twenty-third street, on October 6. has been apprehended in Melville. La.
 The arrest of Bernardo resulted from information given authorities in that town by Detectives Moser and Garner of this city. Detective Garner will leave for Melville with requisition papers sometime today. Bernardo has been traced from one town to another since he committed the crime which came near forfeiting the life of Mrs. Valley. He was traced from Birmingham to Chicago, thence to Den. yer, Vicksburg. Dallas, New Orleans Alexandria and finally captured in Mel vile.
 The capture of Bernardo will be re. ceived with interest in Birmingham. He went to the office of McCarty- Ormond Brokerage company on the morning of October and called on Mrs. Valley, who had known him for year or more. He professed his love for her and attempted to embrace her as she ran towards the door of the private office. When she resisted him he pulled out a knife and stabbed her several times in the breast Mrs. Valley was rushed to St. Vincent hospital. where it was thought she would die from her wounds After several weeks she recovered. Every effort was made to capture Bernardo, who eluded the detec. tives.
 According to the information received ir Birmingham by Chief Eagan, there is nc doubt but what the man under arrest in Melville is Bernardo.

great importance, since it indicates a concentration with view of taking Kovel, an important point of communi- trian front
 In order to relieve the pressure on the Kovel-S Sarnia line, the Teutons coun- attacked southwest of Kolki today, but without result, it is announced here
 On the Galician front, between the rivers Sereth and Strypa, before which the Russian troops had taken up posi- tions, the Moskovites apparently have commenced an offensive and advanced as far as the left bank of the Strypa between Buczacz and Sokolow
 The region on the left bank of the Styr is still held against serious at tempts of the Austrians to advance. The greatest activity appears now along the Strypa on both sides of BucZacz. Here the Russians have driven the op- posing forces back from 15 to IF miles from their positions.
 It is stated that the Russains con- acquired territory, although the battle is still progressing.
 The capture of the heights north of Czernowitz, where nearly 900 prisoners were taken, is held by military experts to be of special importance. They pre- dict that it probably will result in fore ing the evacuation of Czernowitz, giv- ing the Russians a strong foothold in the center of Bukowina and control of the railways into Roumania.

LAST CHANGE TO
 QUALIFY AS VOTER
Many Young Men Are Taking Advan- tage of Opportunity to
 Qualify

Today is the last chance the pros- pective voters of the county will have to register, except a few precincts not yet visited by Registrar Ray, for after tonight with the above exception the registration books will be closed for the next two years.
 It is not necessary for those persons who live in the precincts not visited by MT. Ray to come to town as he will visit each one before the books are closed, but it is necessary for all who live in the city who have not regis tered and who are otherwise qualified to do so today or the opportunity will have passed for the next two years.
 Registrar Ray has been at the court house since Saturday and several hun dred persons, principally young men just of age, have registered. He stated fully 250 qualified yesterday and he expects twice that number today.
 Many candidates for county office in the approaching primary were on hand yesterday and were active in passing out cards announcing their candidacy and presenting their claims for the office to which they aspire.

GAINS FORTY-FVE POUNDS 0N ONLY
 THREE BOTTLES
Stone Gutter Since Taking Tanlac Can Do Work He Hasn't Been Able to
 Do In 4 Years

Ut may sound unreasonable, and you may believe me or not but I have actually gained 45 pounds on three bottles of Tanlac,' said Alexander Gibbs, a we'll known stone cutter, who for the past 15 years has been em- ployed by the big granite corporation at Stone Mountain, short distance out of Atlanta, in telling of his re- markable restoration to health
 T must admit that if anyone had told me before I began taking Tanlac that 1t or any other medicine earth would cause me to gain this much weight in such a short time I wouldn't t have believed them, but I am ready to prove that Tanlac did that very thing for me-
 II suffered long time with stom- ach trouble and acute indigestion. My Kidneys also bothered me great deal. I had awful spells of dizziness and became very weakened. My appetite was irregular and sometimes I didn't even go to the table at mealtime, for I want a bit hungry. What I ate didn't seem to nourish me or give me any strength. I couldn't sleep good and all day long I had that brollen-down, tired feeling and this made my work mighty hard for me. It takes lot of strength to do the kind of work I do and be-
 
 handicapped be; in fact, I wasn't in any kind of shape to work. It looked like I couldn't get hold of anything to straighten me out and I got mighty blue, for I was going down hill all the time. I fell off in weight from 40 pounds to 90 pounds. Then I real ized that something must be done quick
 Most everybody out my way was talking about TanIac and several of my friends were taking it and told me 1t was fine thing. I bought bot tie and after I had been taking it two or three days I got hungry and simply had to eat, and did eat and nothing seemed to hurt me particle. It wasn't long before the pains in my stomach and back began to leave me Then I noticed I began to sleep bet ter and I would get up of mornings feeling fine and ready to go to work.
 ''This medicine seemed to take hold quicker than anything I ever saw, and braced me right up I began to take on more flesh, and, as I have already told you, by the time I had taken three bottles I had gained 45 pounds in weight.
 Tt looks like every day I feel bet ter and stronger, and I am now able to do work I haven't been able to do in four years. It certainly did bring me out in big hurry and l think it is the best and grandest med icine in the world. I am telling all my friends about it."
 Genuine Tanlac is sold in Brming- ham exclusively by Jacobs Drug Store and Patton-Pope Co. Tn Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug Co.,; Bessemer, Peg ram Patton Drug Co.,; North Birming- ham, Walker Drug Co.,. and Pratt City, Gale Drug Co.
