 The Red Cross chapter of Cullman united with the w. c. T. C. in fur nishing 250 comfort kits to the young men who were called to the colors from Cuilman county. the chairman of the comfort kit committed. Mrs. J. I. Armstrong. seeing that each kit con tatned temperance pledge card and leaflet on purity.
 Mrs. Annie K. Weisel. superintendent of the department of juvenile courts and child welfare, makes the following strong appeal to the different .nnions to adopt her department along with other work; "As every local w c. T. U. l can adopt as many of the depa rtments or state work as they choose, I am naturally anxious that my department shall be made a part of every local union fpr, in these war times 1t is more necessary than usual"
 l | The United States of America needs. as never before, to thoroughly train. care fors and educate her children, so it IS incumbent upon every W. c. T. U. woman 10 make a study of the needs or her Community upon the suggested lines below and inaugurate a definite work for the young life of our state. and who should do it rather than the W, c. T. U?
 Even though there is but a small union in your town, there Is opportun- ity for doing some of the things sug- 1 gested here, as they are the needs of every community.
 Make county surveys of institutions | caring for children: the schools In their relation to the community; in- tdustrial and social needs; the enforce ment of federal and state child labor laws the juvenile court and it's after care" system, the relation between community recreation and community delinquency; city and town ordinances having a bearing upon child welfare Other things to do: Visit your nov ing picture shows weekly; observe national child labor day, the last day lin January; hold at least one public
 meeting during the year. upon tho programme of which you have one or
 more expert child welfare workers as speakers; organize girls and boys gardening and other clubs: cooperate with truant officers tthe majority oi our deliauents are truants). serve as volunteer probation officers; make your own home life saving stations assist the woman's committee of your own state, especially in tho child wei. fare work. which they are undertak ing for war service.

 Developments at home exerted great CT influence although these were some times conflicting. Crop indications, as indicated by the official weather re- port maintained their brilliant prom ise, money rates eased visibly in the local market and industrial production n continued at high pressure
 More gold was received from Cam ada, making total of a0,000.000 TOT the movement. and foreign remit tances varied only slightly. aside from tho further strengthening of fires. or Italian exchange and some heaviness In rates to Spain.

DON'T BE AFRAID
 OF YOUR MEALS
Take Eatonic and Laugh At
 Stomach Troubles

EATONIC enables you to eat your fill and laugh at indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn, sour ston- achp and at the same time you get full strength out of your food.
 Kramer says: "EATONIC should be in every home, for use after meals. An EATONIC tab- let will aid easy digestion and as- sin1ilation your food can be thoroughly enjoyed without the slightest danger of misery from acid stomach. I strongly advise every one to take EATONIC after meals. To correct bad stomachs and keep them in perfect condi- ton, it is a wonderful discovery"
 If EATONIC fails to give you prompt stomach relief, your mon- ey will be cheerfully refunded by your druggist; 50c buys a large box at any drug store.

H, L, Kramer. the man who originated Cascarets, has discov- cred a sure, safe, quick acting relief for bad stomachs.
 You can eat anything you like now and digest it in comfort, for stomach ease is positively assured ifyou take an EATONIC tablet or two occasionally after each meal.
 EATONIC acts directly with the food as it enters the stomach. ltquickly checks any tendencyto- ward too much acid and enables the food to pass from the stomach into the bowel in sweetened con- dition. and thus prevents the for nation of sour, distressing gases that upset digestion and cause a bloated, dull, lumpy feeling. food repeating, and all kinds of stom- ach miseries
