PATRIOTISM ID BE |. TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS
State Department of Educa- tion Publishes Handbook
 of Patriotic Education

Montgomery, July 7-(SpeciaI) )-with the intention of giving the proper train ing in patriotism in the public schools so the students may understand why America has entered the war in Europe and why thousands of men are under arms, the slate department of education today announced the publication of the Alabama Handbook of Patriotic Educ1- tion," which will be distributed among all public school teachers of the state and will be used as supplementary work in the schools.
 The handbook covers all important points ir the war and gives a report of all war activities in such way that n child in the public school may under stand. The material was prepared by the department of education in cooperation with the advisory war council of the Alabama Educational association. SuS- gestive programmes for patriotic even- ings covering the various war activities are given il the book and the informa- tion is so varied that facts for all kinds of patriotic work may be found witatn the covers.
 Especial attention is paid to conserv7- ton anr production, to the campaign for the eradication of illilteracy from among selectmen, to the American flag, to the four minute men, school gardens. the Red Cross and patriotic addresses of President Wilson and others showing why this country was forced to defend itself from Germanic aggression.
 Great stress is also laid on the War Savings Stamp campaign and the hand book carries statements from the ne- tional and state directors of the drive. School children were urged to become interested in this campaign in order that they might aid the nation financially ta pay the expenses of the war

This will guarantee that our army and navy, as they meet the onslaughts of despotism. shall be sup ported by united and generous people, willing 10 sacrifice to the utmost in order that the menace to democracy, both at home and throughout the world, may be forever removed.

 Tt will be the patriotic duty of every owner to make all minor adjustments and repairs himself to the end that every expert mechanic available for war work may be released to the gov ernment.
 "Owners are urged to see that their tools are in order, that jack and pumr are in working condition, that extra tubes and tires are in proper repair and that other necessary equipment is in condition to enable them to take care of emergency repairs on the road
 Conserve gasoline, oil and grease whenever possible"
 The ruling means reduced working hours, closing wholly on Sundays and holidays, discontinuance of all free service and inspections. and the abso- lute elimination of all "charge ac- counts" everything to be on a cash basis hereafter.

That Is the Way J. F. Holley Says His. Rheumatism
 Made Him Feel

This Tanlac is the first medicine I have ever taken that did what people said it would do,'' said J. F. Holley, residing at 427 Breckenridge street, Lexington, Ky, sometime ago.
 T was in an awful fix for over two months he continued, and my whole system seemed to be rundown and worn out. Rheumatism was my worst trouble, my muscles seemed to be tied in knots. I could hardly sleep at night and would feel as tired in the morning as when I lay down at night. My digestion was affected. I had no appetite My nervous system was disordered and I suffered from awful headaches. The rheumatism would draw me up So couldn't use my right arm at all.
 "One day a friend of mine told me about Tanlac and I got a bottle and started taking it. It has certainly made a new man of me. I can eat anything I want, and this is something I have not been able to do in years, and l sleep like a log at night That awful rheumatism is all gone and I have had my strength restored and have been built up in every way I sure am glad to tell others what Tanlac has done for me-

a"UncIe Pate" Hickman Tells Story
 OfEarLy Politics m Jefferson County
How Bankhead Started His Political Career in the District and How Man Now 91 Years Old
 Feels Toward His Senator
nr HUGH ". ROBERTS

W. P Hickman of Trussvile, popular ly known as Uncle Pate, 9l years ot age, and still vigorous mentally and physically, recalls with great pleasure that he played an active part in the convention which first nominated John H. Bankhead, and the convention which first nominated Oscar2W. Underwood for Congress,
 Tn other days Uncle Pate was quite a power in county. district and state politics. Incidentally he is perhaps the only man who held office as long as desired, who announces now that he 'has had enough"
 For IT years he was treasurer of Jeff ferson county, and his books were out of balance just once. There was a diff ference of 25 cents and that difference, he whimsically explains, was in his fa- Vor. He was next member of the board of county commissioners. Without his knowledge he was nominated and put over by the late Ben F. Roden. MT. Roden acted quietly because he knew Mir Hickman did not care for public service. He acted vigorously because he knew that MT. Hickman was ardently in fa- Nor of good roads, and was possessed or enough force to put across large bond issue at time when bond issues were not popular or remunerative to their purcha sers. MT. Roden's belief was verified. Uncle Pate put the issue over, and he built the first good road in Jef- ferson county.
 THE OLD AND THE NEW
 I had desire to know how MT. Hick- man stood regarding the senatorial con test between Senator Bankhead and ex- Senator White. I found him reading q copy of The Age-Herald on the porch of his home at Trussyille. Everywhere which is about to attend the efforts of the farmer. and evidence, also, that where as the people were remaining true to the old agriculture they were also prov ing the value of the comparatively new, the making of iron and steel. For the Trussville furnaces, after a long period of idleness were smoking furiously just south of his cottage. The old and the new! How finely MT. Hickman illus trated that condition, and how cleyerly he served as a connecting link between the past and the present. Then he played < a part. Now he is playing a part.
 I asked him about the senatorial race and for whom he would vote Why" he replied without taking thought, T am going to vote for John. I aided in securing him his first nomination., and l have been with him ever since. l will always be. If my own son, Cunningham, was running against John, why sir, l
