assisting literally in making possible the name of home from poor shelter They are constantly ready to serve, and as body stand for service to humanity. and really even at the advanced wholesale fur niture markets the local marketp rices are almost unchanged. Birmingham is gen. erous and never more so than in observ- ing the half holiday on Thursday and early closing-9 o'clock-on Saturday nights"
 This method of considering the toiler assures the desire on the part of progress sive business men to express an appre- citation of the service rendered by their employees The accomplishment has been gradual; the idea was first advanced by, Mrs. R. H. Pearson, but before she had accomplished her purpose she met with her fearful accident that made her so long an invalid and deprived Birmingham of a powerful, active influence for many years. Her spirit has always been with the people, and from her inspiration the same desire eminated from other good workers, especially the cause was vigor- ously espoused by Mrs. w.. l.. Murdoch. and recently Mrs. Maloney has taken hold of the movement with undaunted success. The public only needs to realize their share in making the world broader and more generous, to accustom themselves to business methods with 8 consideration of other folks comforts. and then we can have the Saturday afternoons closing, with full weekend recreation for shop pers and sellers

BACK FROM CAPITAL

Two of Missssippi's congressman have been home this week. but not to look after their political fences. One of them
 B. G. Humphreys of the Third. or delta district, has no opposition, and Is not liable to have any for many years to come, so well does he look after the in terests of those dependent largely on ap- propriations for rivers and harbors. MT. Humphreys had been down in Texas as member of a congressional commit tee to look into the needs of the folks along the Brazos between Waco and Houston-a section of country that over- flows very badly every year, or every time there is a heavy rain, wherefore they are demanding a survey and relief at the hands of Congress. MT. Collier of the Eighth district. is the other Mississippi member to visit home folks, being sched- uled to deliver the annual address at the State University on Tuesday. MT. Col Her has two opponents in the persons of District Attorney Howie of Hinds, and Peter Stubblefield. state senator from Yazoo, but he says he is not worrying. Somebody Is after MT. Golfers political scalp every two years, but they always get left. He has impressed his district

There is no woman in Birmingham more
 enthusiastic over the half holiday on Thursday and early Saturday night clos ing for the summer months. than Mrs. Mabel Leake, secretary of the "F>urni- ture Dealers association" and she IS more than delighted with the unanimous cooperation of the members of her as
 sociation in everything that is for the
 convenience and consideration of the
 people.
 She knows the furniture business, and
 lives on her job In a little chat with her yesterday about business, better busi-
 ness. she said: T think the furniture dealers are one of Birmingham's great
 est assets. They are social service work
 CTS, practically. They give opportunity to poor folks to have a comfortable home
 on an easy payment plan Perhaps you have never viewed these methods in the
 installment business as real accommo-
 dation to people of very moderate means.
 Do you know that the furniture dealers are the only people in the entire pusl- ness world furnishing both loan and col lateral? The goods placed in the homes on the monthly or weekly payment plan are the only security for their own pay ment. When the bills are paid promptly, of course the dealers make money; they arc not working for pleasure; however. if they have to take back the goods after several months hard use there is big loss incurred-second-hand furniture Is not a favorite today, and if sold it is at
 greatly reduced price, almost an entire loss. There is great advance in the price of raw materials of every description, and even with this situation our dealers | in furniture have low prices, and by com parison with furniture markets of other cities, Birmingham has greatly the advan- | tage. Not only do they furnish homes and the easy-paying plan, but they are brought so closely in touch with the neglected bare homes of the city that tbey are often social service workers by

EVERYBODY OUGHT
 TOKNOW ABOUTIT," SAYS MIR. CLEMENTS
Well Known County Official Says His Wife Couldn't Even Move Her Left Hand From Her Side Before
 Taking Tanlac

eff the people in Birmingham only kne" what Tanlac had done for my wife you would sell a thousand bottles tomorrow was the remarkable statement made last Friday by William N Clements, who is better known by his many friends as Newt Clements, in telling of the almost miraculous recovery of his wife.
 MT. Clements has been an officer or the law in Jefferson county for the past 19 years, and is now marshal of the town of Iipscomb. The Clements live at Besse- rer Ala. R. F. D. No. l, Box Z26. Ac- cording to his own statement his wire had been an invalid for several years and was so badly crippled up with rheu- matism that she could not raise her leIt hand from her side without the ald or her right hand His complete statement follows:
 "My wife suffered from indigestion and constipation She had no appetite and could not eat anything hardly. She also had rheumatism in her left arm and slde and she could not move it at all without taking her other hand to lift it around. She could hardly sleep at night on &C., count of the pain. l was called nome and found her in bed. I tried several things before I used Tanlac but she Kept getting worse all the time.
 Now then, the very first week after she began using Tanlac, my wife was up out of bed and could use her arm quite well, and every bit of the pain was gone. She took her first dose of Tanlac on the 2d day of May, and it is the honest truth when tell you she is now doing her own work and feels no symptoms of her old trouble. She is now able to use her arm as good as she ever could in her life, and is now doing her own washing and general housework. She even works in the garden at odd times Why, it just does me good to tell you just how much 1t has helped her.
 "I have been taking it. too, and I just feel like a new man. I used to have something like neuralgia and suffered nearly all the time with headaches and didn't have much appetite, but now I can eat like a horse. I would not take anything for what it has done for my family, and I think everyb ody in Bir- mingham ought to know about it.
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclusive ly by Eugene Jacobs Drug Store and the Patton-Pope Drug Co.,; in Bessemer, by the Reorganization Drug Co.,; in Ems ley by the D. w Morris Drug Co.,, and in North Birmingham by Walker Drug Co.-Adv.

JACKSON MANUFACTURES

In the big show window of one of Jack sons leading merchants there has re- gently been installed most interesting exhibit of goods Made in Jackson" These include everything manufactured in Jack son, from a blow to a ladies' dress, from an iron casting to a coffin, and attracts a great deal of attention. The Jackson folks did not know that so many diff ferent articles are manufactured in their midst, and after looking over this az gregation feel prouder of their town than ever, as 40 or 50 different establishments are represented in the window. Jackson has never attempted to boost herself as a manufacturing center, but the showing made by this exhibit will encourage wider advertising in the near future.

ILLITERACY WEEK

The last legislature passed an act cre- ating what was called an 'illiteracy com mission" the same to be composed of about a dozen men and women interested in educational matters, and all of whom have been appointed. The object of this commission is to look after the 10000 white folks in Mississippi who are charged with being so illterate they cannot read or write their own name. During the ses- sions of the summer normals over the state one of the foremost educators will explain to the teachers there assem- bled just what is expected of them, and this movement will be inaugurated. All illiterates will be given an opportunity to learn something, the teachers or any others interested, joining the teaching forces and promising to work day or night on any subject presented.

RATLIFF'S BATTERY REUNION

Very little. if any, attention was paid to the national holiday, May 30. in Mis- sissippi, and in Jackson nobody would have known it was holiday if the post office had not been closed, and, as usual, great many persons were securing the town for stamps. But there is one holi- day Mississippi always observes-Je Jeffer- son Davis birthday, June 3. On this an- niversary Ratliffs battery, one of the most famous little commands in the Con- federate army, made up of Jackson men and their neighbors, always meets in Jackson. The roll call is not responded to very largely of recent years but there are a faithful few, some 20 or 30, never miss this annual reunion, and Jackson sees to it that they have good time and a fine dinner prepared by the ladies of the community. Capt. w. T. Ratliff of Raymond, the commander of this old organization, is still here, and has never failed to answer the roll call--or to make
