KAISER ENCOURAGES
ILLEGITINGATE BIRTH

The most astounding word yet
from Germany is to the effect that
the German government is not only
to recognize illegitimate children.
three million of whom, 1t is said,
have been born since the war started
nearly three years ago, but the sin-
dustry" is to be. encouraged and the
working girls of the nation are to
be called upon to help supply the
deficiency.
Illegitimate children are to be rec
ognized and their legal status fixed
and the mothers are to receive nav
in the way of pensions for every
child brought into the world. the mo-
theirs to be recognized as heroines
and the children TO become the wards
OF the nation and reared and edu-
Gated at government expense.
The young women of the German
nation are to be called on to do their
part, that of bringing children into
the world, just as the young men Of
that country are being called upon.
to give up their lives.
It is stated that the government OF
Germany is forced to this issue on ac-
count of the enormous war loss and
owing to the fact that now without
recognition ten per cent of the chill
dren born in Germany are illegiti-
mate and.in order to care for those
children and to be able to give them
a place in the world the fact of chill
dren> being born in this way is to be
glorified

NATIONAL PARKS WILL NOT
BE CLOSED THIS SEASON

Washington, D. c., May 5--When
asked today whether the national
parks are to be closed to visitors
during the season of 1917, Secretary
Lane stated that the persistent rum
ors which have been current for the
past few days, particularly in the
Middle West, that such action was
to be taken by the Interior Depart
ment, have absolutely no foundation
in facts. All of the parks are to be
opened at the usual time.
The secretary believes that the en-
trance Of the United States into the
war will not materially affect west
ern tourist travel, and expressed the
conviction that the national parks
will be quite as well patronized this
year as they have been during each
of the past two years, when upwards
Of 400, 900 people visited them. He
pointed out that 1t lie even more Inn
portant now than in times of peace
that the health and vitality of the
Nations citizenship be conserved,
that rest and recreation must mater
tally assist In this conservation of
human tissue and energy, and that
the mountainous regions of the ma
tional parks offer opportunities in
abundance for thoroughly enjoying
a vacation of long or short dura-
ton.
The Interior Department has TAX
en- effective steps to put the parks
on par with the best equipped sum-
mer resorts in the world, and already
transportation and hotel accommoda-
lions in several of them have reach
ed this standard. The. splendid ho-
tel system of Yellowstone Park will

Proper Food for Weak stomachs.

Proper Food Tor Weak StOmachs.
The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move the
bowels. They are easy to take and
pleasant in effect.

 MT. Ribble designs and makes all or his ads and this banner is one of the prettiest things he has ever done. An other thing, many times l have heard people commenting the government for the boards around the postoffice and other places; these do not belong to the government at all. but are put up, designed and donated by the Southern Ad company. This institution has all ready given over $500 in war posters, boards and other devices, and shows magnificent patriotic spirit in every Way'

Horace Gibson Brings Word That Walker County Man
 Has Decided to Run

Horace Gibson of Corona, for sew eral years connected with l.. B. Mus grove in a business way and stanch friend of the well known Jasper man, last night stated that 1t was a settled fact that MT. Musgrove would run for governor of Alabama to succeed Gov Charles Henderson.
 T have just conferred with Mir. Mus grove over. long distance telephone in Jasper" said MT Gibson, at the Hi1l- man last night, "and he stated that could say for him that he would make the race, and that in a few days he would make formal an- nouncement and file the proper papers with the secretary of state as to his race for the governorship.
 q have talked to MT. Musgrove dur ing the day in person, then after ar irving in Birmingham this evening I had conversation with him over the telephone and he stated that while it was sometime before the election and he thought that very likely the time to announce was a bit premature, yet he would state emphatically that he would make the race In 191S.'
 The fact that there has been some thing doing" in local prohibition circles for the past few days has given color to the political theories that have been vaporizing in ingenious political minds.
 It is believed by those who are on the inside, however, that the Car michael boom will settle down Into the Musgrove camp and that the prohibit tion element, which has been covertly expressing it's opposition to T. E. Kill by of Anniston, will do all in it's power to further the candidacy of the Walker county man.
 If MT. Musgrove enters the race there will be four announced candi- dates: w. w. Brandon of Tuscaloosa, John H. Wallace of Huntsville, Thomas E. Klby of Anniston and Mr. Mus grove.
 MT. Musgrove's friends contend that he will have the natural call on q large element of the prohibition strength of the state in spite of the fact that Rev. Brooks Lawrence, su- perintendent of the Alabama Antf~ Saloon league, has been showing his partiality to Kilby for governor. Mir. Musgrove for many years has been d large contributor to the funds of the prohibition forces and hes has always been stanch packer of Hobson in his campaigns in Alabama.
