War Savings Drive
 of Growing Appeal

INTEREST in the War Savings 0 drive, which eliminates on the 18th of June, has gained great mo- mentum in Alabama this week and there is every promise of an excep- tional achievement.
 Practically everybody is buying Savings Stamps, and the most en- couraging fact is that thousands who had invested in these popular securi- ties early in the campaign are re- Isponding to the appeal to buy more. The school districts are well or ganized and splendid results may be expected from the five thousand meet ings-one in each district-to be held on the 18th. Alabama has had many Ipatriotic demonstrations since the United States entered the war, but the inspiration that VIII come rom the rural rallies can but have the most Ifar-reaching effect.
 What Alabama does in this months
 drive will furnish good forecast of
 the War Savings totals later in the
 year.
 There will be no Tagging of activity
 among the team workers hereabouts
 between now and Friday of next
 week. And if everyone in this state acts upon the slogan, Buy all you
 can," Alabama is sure to do the usual
 thing by going over the top.

K * Good Service Rather Than Money Making

MNO statement issued by W. G. G V McAdoo, as director general of the railroads, has been of such inter est to the public as that setting forth the aims of the transportation ad- ministration, published this week. It lis full of practical sense and human appeal.
 While everything must be sub iordinated to the prompt movement of troops and army material for the win ming of the war, the people are to be well served.
 The maintenance and improvement Iof the railroad properties, so that ade- |quate transportation may be provided at the lowest cost, will have serious attention, "the object of the govern ment being to furnish service rather than to make money"
 
 All superfluous expenditures will be eliminated, but a flair and living wage" will be paid for work done. Of widest human interest, however, in the director generals announced policy is that referring to "the promotion of a  spirit of sympathy and better un derstanding as between the admins tration of the railways and their two million employees as well as their hundred million patrons, which latter class includes every individual in the nation, since transportation has become a prime and universal neces- sity of civilized existence"
 The development of this policy will, of course, as MT. McAdoo says, re- quire time, but if it is too early to judge of results obtained, unmistak- able progress has beer made toward the "goal of the governments ideals" The director general has had the earn est cooperation of all the members of his staff and others engaged in op- erating the roads, and with continued co-operation there is promise of fu- ture in which "the lessons of our ac- cumulating experience will be eff fectively employed to humanize the science of railroading and negative the idea that corporations have no souls. !"

bank in the community in which it
was to be established and the appli-
cants seemed to be men Of RESPONSE
bility and means and some promi-
hence.
Subsequently, doubt arose as to the
loyalty and patriotism Of the appll-
cants, and it was ascertained that, al
though the six applicants for the
charter were reported to be men OF
considerable means-seyeral OF them
claiming to be worth a quarter OF
million dollars or fnore-the aggre-
gate amount of Liberty Bonds OF the
first and second issues to which the
six applicants had subscribed was
only 5000, several of the applicants
for the charter having taken no Lib
erty bonds at all, and their aggre-
gate subscriptions to the Red Cross
had been only $149. ,
The comptroller has to-day revok-
ed the authority given for the organ
ization OF this proposed national
bank, on the ground that the men
of means in these times who show so
little patriotism and so little public
spirit in the matter of making sub
scriptions to Liberty Bonds and to
the Red Cross are unfit to be placed
in charge of any national bank.

FORTY PER CENT FRENCH DOC.
TORS DEAD; RED CROSS
IS HELPING.

When the war opened there were
$4,000 physicians and surgeons in
France. OF these $4,000 went to
war. OF these $4,000 over 40 per
cent have fallen during the last three
and a half years. There are COM
munities in France of 900 popu-
lation without single competent
doctor. To meet this emergency ~
well equipped Red Cross dispensar-
les, three OF them in Paris, have been
established and the attempt is be-
ing made to reach the civil pOpula-
ton that is suffering the ravages of
war by detailing doctors and nurses
for service at these dispensaries. In
addition to these there are now
throughout the French republic prob
ably 800 clinics and minor dispen-
saries operated by the Red Cross.
In many cases these occupy single
room of a French hospital or other
charitable institution. The Amer1-
can Red Cross is now conducting.
wholly at its own expense, seven hos
pitfalls for children and tuberculosis
patients.
No work could appeal more strong
" to those of US at home than this
phase Of Red Cross endeavor. 1t IL
only one branch, but an important
one and is a further reason why

should give and give until 1t hurts

THE PROPER FOOD FOR 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 taken and
n'aasant in effect ADV.

Be amiable, cheerful and good

difficult, if not impossible, however,
when you are constantly troubled
with constipation. Take Chamber

1t will be easy. Thees tablets not
only move the bowels, but improve
the appetite and strengthen the d.
