KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
 ID ATTEND GRAND
 COMMANDERY MEET
Drill Corps of Local Com manderies and Boys In- dustrial School Band to
 Attend Meeting

On Wednesday, April 25, probably the
 largest gathering of Knights Tempiar ever held in the state will assemble at nual meeting of the state grand com mandery of Alabama. A special train for the accommodation of the several hundred sir knights and their ladies from Cyrene and Woodlawn comman-
 deries will leave Birmingham "Wednesday y morning, Louisville and Nashville cross
 ing at Twentieth street, promptly at S:lS o'clock and all knights in uniform will be
 given free transportation to Tuscaloosa and return. sS
 The drill corps of both Cyrene ano Woodlawn communicates will participate in the competitive drills at Tuscaloosa Several bands including the Boys Indus trial school band, will accompany the sir knights to Tuscaloosa and according to the reservations already in hand g
 very large crowd will attend from Bir-
 mingham.
 The meeting will last two days and
 every moment of the stay in Tuscaloosa
 is filled with entertainment of the vis-
 itors. According to the programme al
 the pleasure of the ladies present, in
 cluding auto drives about the city, visits to interesting points and a trip to the locks and dam on the Warrior.
 Large delegations from every comman dery of knights in Alabama will bt present, the whole attendance promising to number several hundred, perhaps more than 1000, and remembering the wei known hospitality of the Tuscaloosa peo pie so often emphasized on previous oc
 casions, it is probable that every si knight who can possibly get away will make the pilgrimage. While the meet ing is scheduled for full two days al who cannot afford to stay beyond tht first day will have an opportunity to re turn Wednesday night, leaving Tusca loosa at 1915 and reaching Birmingham before midnight.
 Sir Knight Hugh Latimer, district pas serger agent of the Southern railway over whose road the special will run, has the pilgrimage in charge, and says tht train will be suitably decorated for the occasion. The officers of Cyrene ane
 Woodlawn communicates have been very energetic in urging all local knights tt
 make the trip, and since there is abso
 lutely no cost involved in going, pro vided they are in uniform it is expected
 that many will take the outing. It is re- uuested that all uniformed knights veal the complete regalia with black trousers black shoes and buff gloves. Ladies art especially welcome to make this trip and there should be no excuses allowed for leaving them behind, as a splendie programme of entertainment Is provided for their pleasure by the ladies of Tus caloosa

By the help of Tanlac I have gotten rid of the troubles that caused me so much suffering for the past several months, and I am now enjoying my health again." said T. M. Black Con- federate veteran, living at the Old Sol diers Home. Austin, Tex, recently.
 T glory in the spunk of the boys he continued, who are volunteering to de- fend the honor and good name of our great country. feel like marching to the front myself, since taking this Tan lac, and while I am barred by my age from shouldering the gun, my heart is right there.
 q suffered from kind of indigestion that caused me severe pain in the region of my stomach. I would go to bed some times feeling fairly well, but would hardly get to sleep before I would wake with most terrible pain that would keep me in misery the rest of the night. The rheumatism was awful in my legs and hips and at times I could hardly go at all It hurt me so bad I could hardly get in and out of my bed. and 1t was all I could do to get up out of my chair when I would sit down. especially if it was the least bit cloudy or damp.
 When I saw Tanlac recommended so highly l said. Well. that's the medicine for me- I have now taken five bottles and my rheumatism is gone, and Tanlac gets the credit for my wonderful relief. I am now 70 years old and I've tried lots of medicine, but Tanlac beats them all It has given me complete relief in every way. I have no more rheuma- tism, no more gas on my stomach, and will be glad at any time to tell anybody all I can about Tanlac. I wish every body who has troubles like mine have been would only try few bottles of Tam lac. They would soon see what great medicine it is. If what I have said Is not true I certainly would not put my name to the statement"
