Your Idle Dollars Are as Bad as
 Slackers Patriotism Demands
 Spending
By W. H. J. TAYLOR. President of the Retail Credit Mems

 No man can be called a stacker who works industriously. produces steadily and spends regularly. Ev- cry man cannot carry gun, but every man can shoulder responsibil- ity. This is the time when no man can be truthfully described as hav- ing mo one dependent upon him.
 There are dozens directly and thousands indirectly dependent upon the productivity of each and every one of us. If you are @an employer you feel this; if an employe you should realize It. By keeping busy
 you keep others busy. The carfare.
 the price of a newspaper, the cost
 of shoes, clothes, rent, recreation; in fact. every item of your expenditures
 makes money for someone who in
 turn passes it on to someone else.
 The world truns on credit Currency
 is but credit in tangible form.
 A dollar bill is the governments
 promise to pay. and you accept it in
 good faith because you, as part of the government, know the promia1
 is good. You will see to 1t that the promise is kept, that the obligation IS ulGls T oI liE RVNCtiAiASNl tldS lS- sued it's promise because it relies on the industry of every one of us. The taxes the government collects it spends among us. But in order to collect taxes there must be things to tax; business must be kept going, and going strong. so that in war time 1t can pay extra taxes as eaisly as 1t pays regular taxes in normal times.
 In fact. business must be kept go- ing stronger than ever Unusual times call for unusual effort. There was never any great task accom- plished without extraordinary effort. "Busfness as usual'' will not do. It must be more business than usual' Business run with more economy, with no waste; therefore better, stronger, more productive business. A business that can pay all hands and have plenty left for liberty bonds, Red Cross, Y. M. c. A. and all war time needs.
 This is the business of America today. the heart interest of every true American. I am sure we all realize 1t, but many may be in doubt as to how best to go about it. The cry of "economy" may awaken in SoiHS tiio iOdi cA StAtHS oi'SJ- HIS | is just what the government does not mean. Let each man do his l share and do it wisely and there will | be enough and to spare for all. Work | harder, earn more, spend we'll and | keep your own and all the country s | business going. Save money but do | not hoard it. Harness up your forces | and your resources. An idle dollar l is not of any more use than an idle | man.
 The patriot must earn, but he must | also spend.

IT'S REPATRIATION ID ME, 7 SHE SAYS Was Told She'd Never Re- cover From Rheumatism. Gained 20 Pounds
 on Tanlac

T had been told that might outlive my troubles but that nothing would ever relieve them. and until I started talk ing Tanlac, no medicine. had ever done me any good" said Mrs. Benton, wife of Prof c. l.. Benton of Falls Business college, residing at 1908 Arthur avenue. Nashville, Tenn. @
 Some told me I had gallstones. oth- CTS thought had rheumatism, and what ever the trouble was, it seemed like 1t had come to stay I had stiffness in my joints until I had almost lost use of one knee, and I had indigestion so bad that there were few things I ate that didn't give me hours of misery aft erward. I was nervous at night and so restless l couldn't sleep, and sharp cut ting pains through my back would strike me and torture me dreadfully.
 Tine four bottles of Tanlac I have taken havc been a revelation to me. Not only has Tanlac put my stomach in per feet condition, but it has reached the rheumatis and the pains have disap- peared entirely. I can even eat ham for breakfast now, and though I am still a little careful about my diet, have gained 70 pounds in weight and I give Tanlac the whole credit for my recovery
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton Pope Drug Co.--Adv.

AMERICAN TROOPS
 MAY AID BRITISH
 ON LANDERS LINE

Washington. February 5.-American troops may appear in British trenches on the Flanders front as result of studies now being made both here and in Europe.
 If the project suggested is carried out, American units would be passed through the British training system from receiving camps to finishing courses in front line trenches. draw ing supplies and equipment from Brit ish sources. until graduate battalions were withdrawn for incorporation in General Pershings army.
 The suggestion came from the Brit lsh officials through General Per- shing. It still is under consideration at the war department. but final ac- ton rests on recommendations of Gen eral Bliss. who is considering details also in conference with the supreme war council
 The plan is development of the proposal made at the time of the first meeting of the war council that Amer ican troops might be sent to England for training, releasing British forces there for front line duty. The ob- Jeetive sought, is to hasten the eX- ransion of the American army in France. By the use of British ship ping, training camps and supply lines, if has been urged that General Per shing's force could be supplemented without a proportionate increase in the demand on shipping.
 Descriptions of the plan are not available for publication. It is known however. to have encountered numer- ous practical objections here which also occurred to General Pershing in forwarding the suggestion. In it's original form the plan contemplated the training of 150 infanry battalions of 1000 men each through British fla cilities

ACT TO PROTECT
 SEAMEN CERTIFIED
Federal Court of Appeals Makes Rul- ing in Case of Seaman Up
 From Pensacola

New Orleans, February 5.--(Special) The question of the constitutionality of the seamen's act of March 4, 1915, amend Ing section 4530 of the U. s. Revised Statutes, has been certified by the United States court of appeals to the supreme court for it's decision.
 The issue arose in the case of John Dillon vs. Strathearn Steamship com pany, claimant of the steamship Strath- earn, appealed from the United States district court. held at Pensacola, Fla. Dillon, subject of Great Britain, shipped at Liverpool on May s, 1916 as carpenter on the steamship Strathearn, vessel of British registry and enroll ment The vessel went from Liverpool to Newport News. then to South Amer ican port, and from there to Pensacola, where 1t arrived July 3l, 1916.
 On August 2, 1916. while the vessel was still in the port of Pensacola, Dillon de- manded of the master one-haf or the wages he had then earned. The master refused to comply with the demand. and Dillon filed libel against the ship. The district court dismissed the libel, and It's action is sought to be sustained on appeal on the ground that section or the act of Congress of March 4, 1915, en- titled, ..An act to promote the welfare of American seamen in the merchant ma- rine of the United States: to abolish ar rest and imprisonment as a penalty for desertion and to secure the abrogatioh of treaty provisions in relation thereto, and to promote safety at sea- in so far as it provides "that this section shall apply to seamen on foreign vessels while In the iarbors of the United States, and the courts of the United States shall be open to such seamen for it's enforce ment," is violative of the federal con- stitution.
 The question was certified because of the importance that an early decision be had by the highest tribunal determining the operation and effect of the clause quoted, conflicting decisions having been rendered by different federal courts.
 The cases of the Alabama Great South ern railroad vs. Morris & Go, and same vs. the American Cotton Oil company, on writs of error from the United States district court for the southern district of Mississippi were reversed by the court of appeals.
