STRICKLAND SAYS
 RESULTS REALLY
 SURPRISED HIM
Prominent Alabamian Was Compelled to Abandon 'Work-Says Tanlac
 Relieved Him

While great many people of prom 3nence throughout the country have gone on record as indorsing Tanlac tho Premier Preparation" and testify. ing to benefits derived from it's use no statement that has been published can carry more weight with 8 thinking public than the one made a few days ago by Mir. J. r.. Strickland who re- sides at 1927 North Thirty -seconC street, Birmingham. Mr Strickland was Tor number of years prominently Identified with educational interests in the state of Alabama, and until July 1913 filled the important position ot rental agent for the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railway companyD.
 In a conversation With the Tanlac representative, MT. Strickland had this to say:
 Since 1897 I have had frequent at- tacks of nervous indigestion and a form of gastritis, resulting in gen. orally rundown condition which great 1y handicapped me in my work. These attacks would be overcome under the treatment of physicians for the time being but in the summer of 1913 I ex- perienced a recurrence of the trouble which seemed to be more stubborn than any of the previous spells.
 
 medical treatment and finally in Sep tember was compelled to abandon my work and went to Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, to see if something in the way of permanent relief could not be obtained. There I was told that a com plete rest would be necessary and that considerable time would be required to overcome She trouble
 Returning home, I endeavored to take the rest and tried to stay out doors as much as possible, but l did not seem to make much progress. I was extremely nervous and slept but little. My appetite became very poor and my kidneys caused great deal of trouble. My weight was considerably reduced and strength was very slow in returning.
 'sFinally in August, 1915, I decided to see just what was in the new prep aration, Tanlac, of which I read and heard so much. I was somewhat skep- tical I must admit, but was agree ably surprised at the results obtained from the use of one bottle. My appe- tite was greatly improved and I seemed to get considerable strength, and inn proved rapidly.
 '"Then in October I used another bot tie of the preparation, with equally good results and now l am starting the third bottle I have gained consider ably all around and intend to use Tan lac regularly for a few weeks. as l consider it an excellent tonic. I have, fin a great measure, overcome the ner- vousness and sleep much better. I am stronger and feel better than Tor long time.
 "I feel no hesitancy in recommend ing Tanlac as a building up tonic and am more than satisfied in my exper- fence with it."
 Genuine Tanlac is sold exclusively in Birmingham by Patton-Pope Co., and Jacobs drug store. In Ensley by D w Morris Drug Co.,; Bessemer. Peg ram Pa tton Drug Co.,; North Blrmlng- ham. Walker Drug Co.,; and Pratt City, Gale Drug Go.

WHAT THE POLICY IS

What is regarded by our own financierS as perhaps the most important feature of the communication which within a few days have been made to some of the fnanciers who have been in negotiation with England and France upon financial matters is the statement that very likely in the course of few weeks the an nouncement will be officially made in England that the policy which her gov ernment. in cooperation with the allies. will hereafter maintain is this: England will, speaking for herself and her allies, announce that what is to be substan- tially a defensive war will be carried on by the allies until they are all ready for ore supreme offensive movement.
 The information given to our financiers was that this might have been already proclaimed had there not been some po- litical matters to adjust in Great Britain, for some of the politicians are still capa- ble of making trouble. But the time is believed near at hand when no trouble of this kind will be looked for.
 When asked what a defensive war really means, the reply was that the allies will do no more than attempt to hold their own, to prevent advances into their territory by German and Austrian armies, although in order to carry out this purpose it may be necessary to un- dertake some movements which have the dpIedTdilce OI OHenSlNe. RUSSIA, Tor ln- stance. is apparently upon the offensive but England knows that this represents the desire of Russia to regain what she lost in the campaign of last fall or as much of it as possible
 What is meant by being ready is the perfecting of the industrial system so that it will be possible for the allies themselves to manufacture as much war material as is needed and as long as it is needed and the bringing into excellent discipline those who are capable of bear ing arms. It was said to our financiers that the allies do not know when they will be ready, but they do feel convinced that it will not be before 1917, and the year 1918 may have come before the allies find themselves thoroughly equipped from every point of view for the final campaign of the war
 While this information reflects only the point of view of England and her allies and leaves out of consideration the Ger man point of view, excepting the chagrin Of Germany that the army should have escaped unharmed from the Gallipoli peninsula, nevertheless our internationa flnanciers are persuaded that 1t is ac- curate information. so far as England and her allies are concerned. It is of an importance which exceeds the interest created by the communication because it aids American financiers in forecastng possible demands which may come to us for financial assistance. as well as the continuation of war orders.

 "The Haunted Station," another of the famous Kalem railroad stories, which features Miss Helen Gibson in thrilling "stunts,' will be shown at the Princess today. In this picture Miss Gibson climbs up rope hand over hand sus- pended to an open drawbridge and there fights the villain battle to the death. 'Why Love Is Blind, a timely subject at all times in which Jack Pickford is featured, will be another picture at the Princess today.
 "The Soul of Woman" with Emily Stevens, a Metro feature, will be shown at the Rialto today. Miss Stevens, who is remembered as an actress of rare power and charm in Birmingham through ire quent appearances at the Jefferson, is said to create a most favorable impression in pictures.
 Tn "The Secret Agent" with Robert T. Haines, a Rialto fea- ture, which will be shown at the Odeon One today the girl snug gling the jewels acros the ocean is again on the job. "The Girl and the Game" with Helen Holmes, and "A Bum Steer" with Burns are two other pictures at the Odeon One today.
 "The Reckoning Flame" with Henry Woodruff, will again be at the Colonial today. This Kay Bee Triangle feature was shown to some delighted crowds yesterday and Messrs. Abernethy and Col mant deemed it expedient to re- tain this exceedingly dramatic sub ject at the Colonial another day

Senators Walsh and Simmons urged that naturalization pact should not be nego- tiated until independce was granted.

 In "The Hawk" the girls will find Faversham in a typical matinee idol role. He will portray social high wayman. He is married, but friend spouseis rather careless with the fam fly treasury, with the result that hubby misreads his hand when he plays stud at the club. In many other devious ways the husband shows a ruthless contempt for man-made laws and thus the title, "The Hawk as like that fowl bird which, without warning, swoops down upon the chick ems in the barnyard, he dives after the chickenettes in the drawing rooms. Hawking" should be a popular diver sion after seeing how it's done in "The Hawk at the Jefferson Thursday night.

 Of the hundreds of patrons of the AlcaZar theatre who had the pleasure of seeing ''The Battle Cry of Peace yesterday it was the consensus of opinion that it slightly overshadowed ''The Birth of a Nation in dramatic thrills. The destruction of the city of New York was especially impressive upon the audience.
 "The Battle Cry of Peace is 10- part picture, in which the lack of pre- paredness for war is exemplified upon the public through the visualization of the cinematographic camera. The story of 'The Battle Cry of Peace is primarily based on Hudson Maxim's ''Defenseless America but the Vita graph company, under the direction of J. Stuart Blackton, has left the main theme at times to emphasize some particular horror of war. In other words while it may have been MT. Blacktons intention to enthuse the
