Hedwig was still star, whose light
touched him, but whose warmth was
not for him. He would have died
fighting for her with smile on his
lips. But he had no hope of living
for her, unless, Of course, she should
happen to need him, which was most
unlikely. He had no vanity whatever,
although in parade dress, with white
gloves, he hoped he cut decent figure.
So she had been his star, and as cold
and remote. And then. that very
morning, Hedwig had been thrown.

OMAHA MAN SAYS I WAS LUCKY DAY WHEN HE FOUND II Union Pacific Fireman De- clares Tanlac Restored
 His Health

"Nothing but a real medicine could do what Tanlac has done for me, and that's why I'm always glad to tell others about it." said Ira W. Polsley, 2033 Elm street. Omaha, Neb., recently. MT. Polsley is fireman for the Union Pacific and is well known in railroad circles.
 'Tve always been strong and we'll" he continued, until about six months ago, when I began to feel my system getting out of fix and my health slip ping away from me. My appetite got poor and what little 1 ate didn't give me nourishment; my liver was slug gish and I had no energy or ambition. weighed 140 when my trouble started. but it wasn't long before I had lost several pounds and was going dow n hill and feeling more tired and worn- out all the time. l don't know just what did ail me, but whatever it was, it made me miserable and unfit for work.
 "An engineer friend of mine told me how this Tanlac had helped him and advised me to try it, and I did. The first few doses made a big difference in my feelings, and it soon began to prove to be just what I needed. My appetite soon came back and I could eat anything set before me and enjoy it. When I finished the third bottle, I was not only restored to health but had actually gained 10 pounds pe- sides, and now I'm even heavier than was when my trouble first begun. Tanlac certainly is wonderful and it was lucky day for me when I found it."
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham ex- clusiyely by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.-Adv.

BIRMINGHAM GIRL WINS PLAUDITS BY WORK IN NEW YORK Miss Nancy Kirkman Makes War Workers From Re-
 bellious Pupils
TROUBLE MAKERS
 ARE NOW PATRIOTS
New York Paper Tells How Unique Work Has Been Accomplished at the Patrick Henry
 School

A former Birmingham girl, Miss Nancy Kirkman. is receiving much praise in New York by the manner in which she is turning rebellious pu- pills of foreign extraction into loyal war workers. Miss Kirkmans mother was Mrs. Hugh Kirkman of Birm.ng- ham, and Mrs. Bessie Massey of Mont gomery and Mrs. Richard R. Hart of New York are her sisters
 The Evening Telegram of New York contains the following account of her work:
 Imbued with patriotism and sympa- thetic understanding, Miss Nancy B. Kirkman, assistant principal of public school No. I'll, on One Hundred and Third street near Fifth avenue, known as the Patrick Henry school las evolved system of Americanization among the children under her com mand that is being adopted through out the country.
 Working under the most trying con- ditions, in foreign neighborhood where the conscientious objector and the anarchist found an audience and a ready response, Miss Kirkman has rem dered great service in spreading pa- triotism and in turning the $500 chill dren of the Patrick Henry school away from the teachings of the disturbing element in this section of the city.

Americans Give Place of Honor to Standard
 of Republic of Venice

Venice, June 1.-(Correspondenc of the Associated Press. 1.-The silken standard of the proud old republic of Venice, kwown as the Gonfalon of San Marco now has a place of honor In the American consulate at Venice, and upon American Consul B. Harvey Car roll Jr has been conferred the dis tinction of being a Gonfalonier of San Marco, or standard bearer of the Vene- tian flag.
 It is the first time in the history of Venice that such a distinction has been given to any foreigner, and it reflects the feelings of the city toward the American representative for the atten- tion he has given their interests dur ing the trials of the last six months with the enemy on the Piave only 15 miles east of Venice.
 Throughout the political changes of Venice, the city has preserved the em- blems which marked it's greatest glory. when as the Venetian republic she was mistress of the Adriatic and the east ern Mediterranean and was strong enough to defeat the Turks and con- quer Constantinople The winged lions of St. Mark are the most familiar en- blem, and they are not only seen in Venice and all the surrounding cities of the Venetian province, but in Corfu and all along the coast of Dalmatia and Crotia.
 Another of thees erhb1ems is a Doge's ring, conferred in the old days on Ven ice as symbol of the suzerainity of the "Oceans Queen over the sea. But the proudest relic of the past i'd the Golfalon of San Marco, or standard of the famous old republic. It is one of the possessions of the city and the municipal council guards it's use and designates the few who are privileged to carry it. the designation carrying with it the title of Gonfalonier of San Marco. <
 It was notable ceremony at the city council chamber when the rank of standa rd- bearer of the Venetian flag was conferred on Consul Carroll more as an evidence of personal esteem than in his official capacity, With the mayor and councillors of Venice were the ad- miral of the port and the high officers of the army and navy Addresses were exchanged and toasts drunk. express ing the feeling toward the consul and the cordial relation existing between Italy and the United States.
 Following this, delegation of the city fathers proceeded to the American consulate, bearing one of the silkcn gonfalons of San Marco. and gave 1t into the hands of the new standard bearer. The standard is of heavy silk richly edged with gold fringe with gilded staff topped by the lions of San Marco.

NO LIQUOR FOR
HOMES IN STATES
Which ARE DRY
Supreme Court Decided
Families Have No Right
to Private Supply.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 16-With a
decision unfolding the Idaho Prohibi-
ton Law, the United States Supreme
Court gave an opinion today which
may be one of the most far-reaching
victories for ''bone-dry'' conditions
yet recorded.
1t was held that citizen has no
constitutional right to possess liquors
for his personal use if state wishes
to forbid it.
Justice McReynolds, who gave the
courts opinion, held that a state
has power absolutely to prohibit
manufacture, gift, purchase, sale or
transportation of intoxicating liquors
within it's borders without violating
the Constitution
just Listen to This
1--WE further think" he added, cit
| clearly follows from our numerous
decisions upholding prohibition legis-
lation, that the right to hold intoxi-
eating liquors for personal use is not
one of those fundamental privileges
OF citizen of the United States
which no state may abridge.
"a contrary view would be incom-
patfble with the undoubted power to
prevent manufacture, gift, sale, pur-
chase or transportation of such ar
tic1es-the only feasible way Of get
ting them. An assured right of pos
session would necessarily imply some
adequate method to obtain not sub
ject to destruction at the will of the
state"
Constitutionality of the North Caro-
lima liquor law requiring railroads and
express companies to keep for public
inspection records showing liquor
shipments received in the state was
upheld by the Supreme Court to-
day.-From The World, New York

MORE CHAPL AINS ARE NEEDED FOR
OVERSEE FORCES OF THE UNITED
STATES SAYS BISHOP LAWRENCE
Episcopal Church Alone He Says Should Have Fund of
100000 Devoted to the Work Necessary to Be Car
ried On and Now Under Way Character Is Founda-
onof Soldiers Fighting Quality.

We cut them off7from all the inf1u-
ences that have made them? Will the
church give them Godspeed and then
stay comfortably in the rear as a
home guard?
After the Sacrament and before the
Altar, the Crusader unsheathed his
sword; his faith gained there made
him the champion of the right. The
American soldiers kneeling in the
mud Of France to receive the Sacra-
rent from the chaplain are better
soldiers and fighters for that service,
because they are better, stronger men.
Hence the church is now sending
strong men into the field as chapIains,
many of them commissioned by the
Nation, some informally recognized by
the Commandant, who by personal
touch with the men help them to keep
straight and true and strong; who
through prayer and service, Sacra-
ment and counsel cheer them when
lonely or sick and wounded, hold them
when tempted and lead them to high
visions Of duty, and thus make better
men and better fighters Of them.
The church is organizing means
whereby the family at home may have
in France representatives of the
church to follow up their boy il
wounded or sick.
For this work of equipping chap
lains, sending to the camps volunteer
chaplains and strong laymen, rein
forcing parishes near great camps
following our men to France with the
blessings Of the church, the War Com
mission of the Episcopal church is
asking for a half a million dollars this
nc nth.
