TT HERE is SO often heard the express
sitn nowadays:
a Birmingham has none of the
get-together spirit; that is what's the
matter with our town.
While this may be true in many in
stances, the theory is refuted by one lit
tie coterie of people, and that is the high
school class of 1913.
This class, which has been called the
model class" has certainly proved that
in union there is strength" for since
the halcyon days of graduation three

From the first year of graduation the
class of 1918 has held it's annual reunion,
the first day of September being chosen
as the day, and it has proven a most
valuable busin. SIS ss we'll as a delightful
asset socially t all the members; it has
been happy occasion on which to see
each other, to renew old friendship and
to talk of happy schooldays now fin
ished and gone.
Mr.. Gustav Mass, president of the
class of 1873 and Mr.. Orville M Coston,
statistican, have been largely respon-
slole for the success of the class re-
unions; these two splendid young men
VINO although still engaged in pursuing
their college work Mr. Mass being at
the University of Pennsylvania, and Mr.
Coston at the University of Alabama
have labored faithfully to keep the class

Mr.. Mass, who is taking the summer
course at the University of Pennsylva-

prominent people of this state are
daily testifying to the good which Tan

for them and their friends. A state
ment of exceptional interest was made
recently by DR.. c. c. Harte, who re-
sides at 103 East Adams street,
Springfield. Illinois. DR.. Harte said
Il used Tanlac for nervousness and
loss of appetite and am happy to re-
late that it has done me a wonderful
lot of good. Before taking this ex-
cellent remedy | was extremely ner-
vous, being unable TO sleep with any
degree of enjoyment and | was mel
ancholy and irritable.
Il had very little appetite and the
foods that | did eat didn't particularly
agree with me. Since taking Tanlac,
however, the nervousness has vanish
ed l sleep soundly and arise in the
morning feeling greatly refreshed. Ny
appetite has improved wonderfully
and l relish everything l eat Tanlac
in my opinion is an extraordinary
medicine"
Scores Of others in Illinois. like DR..
Harte, are obtaining relief by taking
Tanlac. 1t is being used by thousands
in this state with most beneficial re-
suits, for stomach. kidney and liver
trouble, nervousness. catarrhal and
