 Began Taking Tanlac

~lsI think it would be sin if I didn't come out and tell others about the wonderful good Tanlac has done Tor me-" said Mrs Etta Canida. a few days ago in relating to the Tanlac repre-
 sentative the story of her restoration
 to health. Mrs. Canida lives at 112l

 circle of friends in Birmingham.

 and indigestion for three years" con-
 tinued Mrs. Canida. 'T was afraid to

 able that hardly felt able to get out
 of bed. would just have to drag
 along, though, because I have three
 little children in school and I had to
 get them off, but as soon as they were
 gone most of the time I would have
 to give up and lie down and let my
 homework go. It seemed like
 couldn't pull myself together enough
 to do a bit of work. My nerves began
 to give way under the strain until
 sometimes I thought I was going
 crazy. I tried all kinds of medicine
 but nothing helped me and just felt
 I was getting worse every day, and
 I don't know what would have become of me if it hadn't been for friend ol
 my husband who recommended Tan lac for me.
 "He said it had helped him a whols lot and explained about it and con- vinced my husband that there must be something in it. He brought bot tie of it home and I began taking il right away. By the time I had taker half a bottle I felt entirely relieved of all that burning pain in my stom' aoh and my spirits began to rise al once. I found that I could eat more substantial food without it hurting me and then I began to get back my strength. By the time I had finished that bottle I felt all right-had nc more indigestion or nervousness ant no more pains. and I felt strong ant full of life. could sleep as sound al any of the children and when I go up in the morning I would feel re freshcd and ready to attend to al my housework.

tide took it's time about reaching the
 turning point. It is now here.
 There are more tourists in Mobile
 than ever before at this season. Many
 others have made reservations al the leading hotels. The Rolston hotel at Coden and resorts on the eastern shore are enjoying an unprecedented winter patronage. The quantity of tourists coming this way is not only increased
 but the quality is long staple-fnan- cially speaking, middling and better. MT. s. H. Peck, proprietor of the
 historic Battle House, is making prep
 aratiop for a record breaking crowd
 for the Mardi Gras period, February lS-21, and he says the reservations
 all eady made indicate that the visitors
 will not begin to thin out until long after the willows along Dog river shall have put on their o. q. uniforms for
 the onward rush of spring Other ho- tels here make similar reports on the
 subject of tourist crop prospects, Many circumstances contributed to bring about this happy state of af- fairs. The railroads entering Mobile published and distributed for this sea- son more literature and better liter ature than ever before came from that source for the advertisement of thls section of the territory during any one winter season. The visitors who were here last year became missionaries for Mobile. returning for the present sea son and bringing their converts with them
 Other contributing causes that have brought about this tourist rush to Mobile and vicinity has been the liberality of the newspapers at home and in other states in the handling of stories about the Satusma and other beauties of this region. The advertising matter and corre- spondence sent out by the Mobile Cham Der of Commerce and the Mobile Tourist Welcome club and the widely heralded "Alafamiss' movement for the adver- tisement of the coast country.
 Anyhow, the tourists are here at last and theirs are beautiful upon the mountains of realization as the feet of them that bring glad tidings. Those who have examined the grade of coin the tour ists are distributing say that it has a pleasing ring and circuates freely when injected into the arteries of the local trade. And the tourists seem happy From the top of the Battle House. where recent breezes reached them fresh from home, they have taken a binocular view of the waters hereabout where they will soon begin trying out their artificial bait casting for green trout or still-fshing for Dream. They pursue the golf ball over the new links at %he new Country club on Spring Hill and motor to points of romantic and historic interest with which this old city is surrounded.
 With the arrival of the typical Amer- can tourist in paying quantities a new citizen has appeared, the tourist guide. He shows the tourist where Bienville was buried beneath the LeMoynes Cross in
 Bienville square, where Farragut con- demned the Confederate torpedoes in words of one syllable below Pinto Point
 and where Admiral Semmes launched the Alabama on Three Mile creek. What this information given by the new guide lacks in accuracy it more than makes up in lo- cal color. This tourist business is great "A worker in intuition factory, on

Huntsville Stirred When
 Seeress Says Overton
 Will Not Go to GallOws

Huntsville, February 10--(Specal) That David D. Overton, who is under sen- tence of death for the murder of Probate Judge w. T. Lawler will not hang but will receive "a just punishment" is the statement of woman mind reader, who has been making some remarkable dem- onstrations at theatre here this week. She states that she has received hundreds of inquiries bearing on the tragedy of last summer which convinces her that the public is very much disturbed over
 the mysteries of the case, and the num-
 Der of them makes it impossible for
 individual answers to be given. The wom-
 an, Madame Mabelle. claims that several persons who have been connected with
 the case are unjustly accused or at least
 had only small part in it after the
 tragedy
 Overton's appeal will be heard in the Alabama supreme court next summer and
 the statement of the woman has been re- ceived with unusual public interest.
 Announcement was made here today by
 the Alabama Power company which SUD- plies electricity to HuntsNslle, that there will be an immediate reduction in rates to 10 cents per kilowatt hour. The rate which has been in effect during the last year or more has been 12 cents. Under the new rate, subtracting discounts for prompt payments, consumers will pay a maximum of less than g. cents. The com pany is making reductions in all the cities that it supplies with electric current.
