T HAVE FOUND TIE RIGHT MEDICINE AT LAST," " SAYS WEAVER
Superintendent of Farley Building S@@..-s Tanlac Made New Man
 of Him

This Tanlac is certainly the very thing for old folks--it's put new life in me, and is just what I needed" said J. H. Weaver, superintendent of the Farley building, whose office is located at room 915 Farley building MT. Weaver has lived in Birmingham many years, and is well and favor ably known throughout the city.
 Yes, sir, I am 73 years of age, and have taken a lot of medicine during my lifetime, but I never have found any thing to equal Tanlac. When I began taking the medicine I weighed 157 pounds, and by the time I had taken two and half bottles I weighed 162 pounds-a gain of five pounds. I am still gaining and believe before I get through taking the medicine I will weigh a great deal more than l do now.
 q suffered several years with ca tarrhal stomach trouble I had those terrible smothering spells, and at times could hardly breathe. My digestion was very poor and, of course, I couldn't eat hardly anything. I suffered a great deal with palpitation of the heart and sometimes became greatly frightened, for my heart felt like it would almost jump out of my body. I also suffered with kidney trouble and didn't have control over my bladder.
 q began to improve from the very first few doses of Tanlac. My appetite picked up and it wasn't long before l was eating just anything I wanted, and everything tasted good and noth- ing hurt me in the least. I certainly have found the right medicine at last.
 T don't know of any better way to express myself than saying I feel like an entirely different man. I have more life in me than I have had in years and every pain about my body has disappeared. I cheerfully recom- mend Tanlac to those suffering S ] did, for I believe it is splendid med icine."
 Genuine Tanlac is sold in Birming- ham exclusively by Patton-Pope Co. and Jacobs drug store. In Ensley by D. W. Morris Drug company; Besse- mer Pegram- Patton Drug company; North Birmingham, Walker Drug com pany and Pratt City Gale Drug con- pany.
 It is also on sale at exclusive agen- cies in all important towns throughout the state.-Adv.

PLANT LESS COTTON
Only 70 Per Cent of Dallas 145, ,0O0
 Acres Will Be Cultivated

Selma, January 13.-(Special )-With 145,- 900 acres considered as normal crop in Dallas county, only 70 per cent will be planted this year, says County Demon strator John Blake in discussing the cot ton situation. The acreage this year will be considerably higher than that of 1915, and materially heavier yield is expected. Reports from farmers throughout the county indicate that negro tenants Will this year be forced to grow their cotton without the use of. fertilizer. This is be- cause of the high prices of staple fertili- gers
 Mr. Blake and representatives of the Minter Fruit and Truck union Wednesday morning went to Thomaston for the pur- pose of meeting with Dr. G. B. Thomas and discussing the peanut as a money crop for Dallas county. The farmers in the neighborhood of Minter are vitally in- terested in the opportunities offered by the lowly nut, and it is thought that that section will this year plant large acre age.
 The delegation from Minter Is composed of T. L. Wade s. J. Kyser w. K Lide and S. A. Reynolds, all successful farm CTS and familiar with the planting and cultivation of peanuts.
 While the convention of the state Bibles classes federatiOns are rather a disap- pointment as far as delegates are con- cerned, the morning, afternoon and night sessions Wednesday, the opening day. were filled with interest, especially the joint session at the First Baptist church at night. Only about 100 delegates are here from other cities, with about 15O local Bible students attending the sessions The delegates were welcomed Wednesday morning by H. S. D. Mallory of Selma, pastor president of the Alabama Sunday School association, and the response was made by Frank w. Evans, secretary of the Mobile Young Mems Christian associa- tion.

THE SUBJECT OF IMPORTS
WHAT IS OVERLOOKED

some of the international financiers say that in these discussions or monltions one or two points are overlooked. In the first place, we are not importing from Great Britain France or Germany Tor inc simple reason that those nations are eneaged in a colossal war which has Tor time impaired their industries. The chief falling off in our imports has been o,1r trade with Germany and to a less extent with Austria. This. however, rep resents only the embargo which the war has laid upon the foreign trade with Ger many.
 MT. Davison's attention was called some weeks ago to these statements, and It was at that time it was said that in ad- dition to our exports of commodities we had been since the war began exporting large amounts of money, or it's equivalent in credit, to other nations In reply, MT. Davison called attention to the fact that while we have been exporting enormously of our commodities we have also been im- porting enormously of funds or securi- ties In that way we are receiving pay not only for these commodities, put are paving off our debt in Europe and other parts of the world by transferring that debt to this country.
 Of course In the long run trade is de- moralized, even destroyed, if one nation is compelled to pay for purchases in an- other country by means of cash or credit. But the fact that the belligerent nations are paying and will continue to pay in part for their purchases in the United States by transferring American indebt- edness to Europe to the United States should of itself put us in position when
