A Free Prescription You Can Hay,
 Filled and Use at Home

Philadelphia, Pa. Victims of eye strain and other eye weaknesses, and those who wear glasses, will be glad to know that according to Dr. Lewis there is real hope and help for them. Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored by this remarkable prescription and many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them away. One man says, after using it T was almost blind. Could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything without my glasses and my eyes do not hurt any more. At night they would pain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time. It was like miracle to me- A lady who used it says: "The atmosphere seemed hay with or without glasses, but after using this pre- scription for 15 days everything seems clear. I can read even fine print with out glasses" Another who used it says : "I was bothered with eye strain caused by overworked, tired eyes which induced fierce headaches. I have worn glasses for several years both for distance and work, and without them I could not read my own name on an envelope or the type writing on the machine before me. I can do both now and have discarded my long distance glasses altogether. 1 can count the futtering leaves on the trees across the street now, which for several years have looked like a dim green blur to me. I cannot express my joy at what it has done for me-"
 It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in reason

interest-the veal or woe of one was the lot of both.
 This gleaning back upon yesterday is very opportune today when the negro is with us a free man, but he still belongs to the south. Society and business feel the influence of the good negro, and the world is striving to build up the weak Of both races. Progress demands a chance to every human being, an oppor- tunity to improve conditions. Crime ema- mates from ignorance. There Is no mas ter today looking to the character of his slave; he stands for himself, and the race is endeavoring to weed out their evil and to follow the footsteps of thGir white folks just as they did 50 years ago.
 Mrs Meade has handed this story to the public when we need to be reminded of our inherited responsibility. The less fortunate negro who knows nothing but to follow where we lead.
 One peculiar incident attendant upon the publication of this book was the fact that Mrs. Meade never intended it for the press, but single collection of truths told her children in order that they, too, might know some of the sev- eral events in building men and women yesterday. Thus the relation of these facts is as a splendid conversation as the mother calls her 'grownups' to her fire side once more and tells them of what happened once upon a time in her child hood days. It is very worthy for old and young; it Is framed with a touch of na- ture which makes the picture of real life in antebelum days stand out as pen sketch on memory's walls.

A Story From Real Life Told
 By Birmingham Mother
By MRS. J. B. REID


 A book just from the publisher is from the pen of Mrs. James T. Meade, who has made her home in this city for the past 30 years, and has reared a large and useful family among us.
 Everard Hardeman and Vaughn Meade and three daughters, Cornelia, Kate and Fannie. The early corners to Birming- ham will recall them as children scam pering among the daisies growing on Red mountain before the city grew there. These children have married and scat tered and the peeps back into the play ground of her childhood, and the old plantation home on the Mississippi. and tells the story that is dead to her mem- ory.
 Under the name of Ann Hardeman Meade, she has spoken sweetly to them of the habits and happenings peculiar to the times. In simple but impressive style, she tells story full of truth, of senti- ment and adventure. The story is illus trated with family portraits that for gen. erations have been pointed out to the children as illustrious ancestors who were factors in the life of the period
 The plantation life was the ideal plan for the gentleman of yesterday. His an- nual income was fortune from the yield of his fields, and this was made possible by the industry of the faithful family servants.
 Mrs. Meade handles very gracefully and tenderly the true relationship between the slave and the master They were knit together in their service closer than by ties of ownership; they had common

 Companies Will Not Be
 Stopped From Business

Washington. April 7.-German insur- ance companies in the United States, doing millions of dollars worth of busi- ness annually and with thousands of American policyholders were assured Fri day in a proclamation by President Will son that their business would not be interfered with in any way.

CALOMEL TODAY.
 SICK TOMORROW Dose of nasty calomel makes you sick and you lose a
 days work

Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Cal omel acts like dynamite on sluggish liver When calomel comes into con tact with sour bile it crashes into it. causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious, headachy, consti- pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get q 50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dan gerous calomcl. Take a spoonful and if It doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money.
 If You take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseatcd tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone yor will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleas ant and safe to give to children; they l.e it.--Ady.

 On April 1 every county in Mississippi was required by the statewide tick eradi- cation law to begin dipping for ticks. and that has been done. However, there is still a good deal of opposition, as is shown by reports from several counties that dipping vats were being dynamited. The state authorities are doing their best to apprehend the guilty parties, but so far there have been very few arrests, and the lawlessness continues night after night. However, the dipping goes mer- rily on, the cattle apportioned to the de- stroyed vats being divided among those nearest and most convenient to the herds so that the machinery of the law is not StO1Op0

FARM WORK MUCH REPAIRED IN VALLEY
 TENNESSEE RIVER
Lowlands Are Still Under Water-FOOd Crops Will Be Planted as a
 Rule

Sheffield, April -(Special)-T farmers of this section have been held back from their customary prelim- mary farm work by the excessive rains that have fallen almost continuously for the past several weeks and pros poets for this years crop are anything but promising at this time. Lowlands are still under water ard the Ten nessee river is still at high stage.
 Preparations had been made by the farmers to plant the largest acreage in food products in the history of this section. The bad weather has serious ly interfered with these plans. As a rule the truck crops of peas, beans, corn, turnips and potatoes come in early, but these will be late this sea- son. These things are already selling at the highest prices ever known. Now that war is matter of fact between this country and Germany and the country facing a shortage of food supply the outlook is not altogether a pleasing one.
 Since last week when a German U-boat torpedoed the boat Crispin ap- prehension has been felt for former Colbert county young man, who, 1t IS thought was a member of the crew. His parents, MT and Mrs. J. c. Berry man of Leighton 12 miles east of here, received a letter from the young man, stating that he had signed as a mem Der of a ships crew then making ready to sail. Subsequently the Crispin was sunk and no further word has been received from young Berryman, and it Is not known whether he was on the ill-fated ship or not.
 Among those of prominence in the Tri-Cities this week were Hon. Frank c. Marquis, member of the state board of equalization at Montgomery; Hon. John F. Proctor, prominent attorney of Scottsboro, and George A. Quale,- Jr., of Clearwater. Minn. The latter stated while here that his parents and him. self were seriously contemplating re- moving to Alabama to take up their residence.
