SECRETARIES ID
 MEET THURSDAY
Opening Session of Anti Tuberculosis Conference.
 To Review Programme

All details are now completed for the Southern Tuberculosis conference to be held this week in Birmingham, com mencing Thursday morning. The confer ence is created by the cooperation of the National TuDercu1osis association with the workers in southern states, who selected Birmingham as the central point at which the best representative attend ance might be expected in this critically important year of war preparation.
 All the southern states will be repre- sented in Thursdays meetings of secre- taries of state Tuberculosis associations. Dr. Philip P. Jacobs will preside, ana the entire years programme until next meeting of the conference will be under review. Each state has it's own prob lem and method of approach, and the experience of each secretary is a stimu- lation to the others.
 An informal lunch will be had at noon. On Thursday night the Alabama league will hold it's annual meeting under the presidency of pr. B. L. Wymen, who was among the first to urge the awakening of Alabama to the perils of tuberculo- sis.
 The state health officer will also meet with county health officers in the an- iiudi meeting VI tuS dSSOSldblOn OL tHos body on Thursday. Dr. Bowling of Jeff ferson county is the secretary. The pro- gramme of this gathering is merged in that of the tuberculosis conference.
 All the chief officers of the National Tuberculosis association will attend the Birmingham meeting. The president for the year is pr. Lyman, an international authority, who is leading the movement for adequate care of the tuberculosis sol- '. -6 l.. J4l I partments, the Red Cross and the state and local anti-tu uberculosis organizations.
 A great increase of hospital accommo- dations will be certainly stressed by these leaders, and the fact of Red Cross cooperation will be strongly shown by a large attendance of home service workers of southern Red Cross chapters.

There are any number of people who for years a poor physical condition who will be surprised even dumbfounded-to learn that their trouble has just been acd-stomach, which is merely another name for what doctors call superacdity. Yet it is now positively known that acid-stomach is the cause of very large number of diseases
 Excess acid in the stomach prevents proper di- geston and assimilation thus causing the blood to become thin and impoverished as result of which people become sallow-sknned, emaciated and anemc.
 Excess acid causes irritation all along the intes tlna tract--irritaton severe and aggravating as to frequently result in catarrh and cancer of the stomach
 Excess acid causes stomach and intestinal fer mentation, producing poisons which, absorbed into the blood and carried throughout the system, cause standardization, insomnia, nervousness, lrrltaDii- lty, mental depression, melancholia dizziness, yer tlgo and, often times, valvular heart troupie ana heart failure.
 Yes, many people will be greatly surprised to learn that such a long train of physical ailments can be traced directly to an acid-stomach. But there is no need for surprise. Think what acid through the enamel-the hardest substance in the human body And that is exactly what makes teeth rot and decay. No wonder, then that excess acid 1T in the stomach plays such havoc; causes so much III health and misery-makes many people weak and ailing-unfit for either work or pleasure and brings premature old age .e,
 So often you have heard the remark: I've taken all sorts of tonics and medicines and tried many different doctors, but nothing seems to help me-" Nine times out of ten the person making such remark has an acid-stomach Am And until the excess acid is removed, nothing WILL help. Remove that excess acid and the results are truly wonderful. Health and strength return almost like magic.
 You can now rid your stomach of its excess acid A wonderful modern medicine. called EATONIC literally wipes it out It does the work easily, speedily and thoroughly It makes the stomach. pure sweet, cool and comfortable It helps you get full strength out of every mouthful of food you eat; and unless you DO get full

FINE EXHIBITS

The exhibits this year are better than usual and in the agricultural building they are larger and better than ever before, various products and King Cot ton are being displayed in the exhibit hall, as well sas farm products of every variety for which Alabama is noted
 The swine exhibit is the largest ever offered by the fair management, and although a large force of carpenters worked all day Sunday building 100 ad- dtional pens, the arrival of more hogs yesterday morning necessitated the erec- tion of many more. The giant spotted Po- land China of Illinois is the feature hog of the fair, and this is the first time this prize animal has ever been exhibit ed in Alabama. This animal is consid- cred the largest and most highly prized of the pig family and is proving real drawing card. The management or the fair is to be congratulated on securing this prize hog for the people of Ala bama to see.
 The new poultry and kennel houses re- gently erected make a splendid place for the large poultry exhibit which IS the largest in history and includes every known kind and color of the hen fam ily.
