HE COULD NOT LIFT
 LIFT HAND ID HEAD Woodward, After Being in That Condition Two Years,
 Relieved by Tanlac

T feel like getting right there in the street and olit-running any other man in town,'' said J. B. Woodward of 256 Band avenue. Lexington, Ky, in telling of the remarkable benefits he derived from the use of Tanlac.
 For many years" he continued, "I had suffered terribly from stomach trouble. rheumatism and neuralgia. The rheumatism was so bad for two long years. that ] couldn't raise my left hand up to my head. Nothing I ate agreed with me, and I was almost afraid to try to eat anything. One thing after another kept making me miserable and I hardly knew what to do for myself. You know, a man can suffer until he loses hope of getting we'll, and that was almost the fix I was in.
 "Everybody had been praising Tan lac so highly and so many people krew had been helped by it, that here awhile back I tried it myself. In two or three weeks after I started taking it, I began to feel like a different man. I kept on using it and now my trou- bles are all gone My stomach don't bother me a bit; I can eat heartily and digest it, and I can use my arms as well as I could before I began to suf- fer. My family and friends all see the great difference Tanlac has made in me and I am certainly glad to recom- mend it."
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham ex- cldsively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and .Patton-Pope Drug Co.---Adv.

 The allied governments are begin- ming to give serious consideration to plans that, if carried ou,, would spell economic ruin for Germany Some of the most conservative members of the British and American legislative bodies advance the belief that boycott or German products after the war and the withholding of raw materials for the central powers during the period of re construction will be. necessary precau- tioDs against another and more des- perats war when the Teuton countries have recovered from the effects If the present confIict. There was a signifi- cant suggestion of this thought ir Chairman Hurley's recent reference to the fact that America's rapidly increas- ing merchant marine will give this country 2 dominant voice in the dis tribution of the worlds greatest sup plies of raw material. It is obvious that the entente allies. by refusing to supply raw materials to Germany dur ing the period of even a few --ears, could ruin her industries and make her a second-class power. That stern measure may be adopted if the lessons of war do not properly chasten the Berlin government Nevertheless it must not be overlooked that if Ger. many retains strong hold on Russia and the near east she will be able t. bargain continually despite any league against her.

Good Lungs Physical
 Requirement of Airmen

London, June 13.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-Good lunf are the most important requirement for an airman, declared Major Martin Flack, head Of the air ministry's medical de nartment. Keen sight. good hearing and good hands are all important to an air plot he said, 'bnt the most impor- tant thing of all is lungs. The suc~ cessful pilot js generally a deep breather, wlio can take in more oxygen than the ordinary man. and Is able to hold his breath longer. He is thus able to with stand the strain of an atmosphere where oxygen is getting rarer."
 Asked wether there was such a thlng as the flying temperament. Major Flack said: "Yes. l think there is and 1t Will, to certain extent, overcome physical disability One of the most fla nous British aismen is man of dininu- tive stature. who had considerable diff ficulty in passing the ordinary physical tests"
 Constantly repeated medical examina- tons of airmen are required in the Brit ish service, he said. "0ur medical of- ticers.' he explained.

On account of his large interests in production and distribution of coal which will constitute the principal traffic on the Warrior, he felt that it would not be proper for him to have control of the waterway. It would be embarrassing to me if ques- tions should arise in which my interests conflicted with others.'' he told an Age Herald reporter several days ago, If had the final say in deciding the questions. I would either have to sacri- flee my own interests or run the risk of

WORKED uNTIRINGLY

WOhhE ED UNIlhINOL1
 For over 20 years Senator Bankhead has worked untiiingly for the improve ment of the Warrior river. As represen- tsuve from the old Sixth district, and a member of the House rivers and harbors committee, he induced the members of that committee to come to Birmingham in 1897 for an inspection of the district to the end that they might see for them selves the necessity and feasibility of improving the Warrior river. Theodore Burton, who later served a term as Uni ted States senator from Ohio, was chair man of the committee, and accompanying it to the Birmingham district was the late Gen Joe Wheeler, then a member of Congress from the Eighth Alabama district, and Admiral Ramsey of the Uni ted States navy.
 They spent two days here, were wined and dined and entertained, but the net result of their trip was-nil. Senator. then Representative Bankhead did not give up, however. He kept up the fight and from time to time until his retire. ment trom the House secured appropria- ucns for locks and dams that made navi- gation possible to point some 90 miles above Tuscaloosa.
 IS NOW NAVIGABLE
 When he went to the Senate to succeed the late Senator Morgan, Senator Bank Nead renewed ms uSnt TOT tHS improve ment of the Warrior And it is now nav igable to within 20 miles of Birmingham, but an eght-foot channel is essential to it's full utilization as a means of trans porting coal and other heavy products of the Birmingham district.
 Now that the railroad administration has taken over the operation and con trol of the river as a war measure, thus recognizing its commercial value in times of great national need there is no doubt but what it will be further improved, and that barges and boats and shipping fa- cilities all the way from the head of navigation at Birminshams door to the Gulf at Mobile will be provided to handle the immense tonnage originating in this district.
 BARGES PUT IN SERVICE
 Information from Washington is to the effect that preparations for operations will be begun at once, and that barges will be put into service as fast as they can be built.
 Mir DeIsardeleben was out of lhe city yesterday and for rhat reason 1t could not be ascertained whether he would ac- cept the management of transportation on the Warrior and Tombigbee rivers.
 Whether he accepts or not, the fact that the management was offered him is a well merited recognition of the great service he has rendered in making pos sible government control of this fmpor- tant waterway, and it's ultimate use in conveying coal and other heavy products of this district to the high seas

OFFICIAL ORDER

Now that Director General McAdoo has finally made the official order transfer ring Warrior and Mississippi river trans poFtarion control to the railroad admins tration it may be timely to state the source of the opposition that kept it hanging fire so long. From the time the Warrior river improvement was first suS- gested several years ago the strongest railroad lobby ever maintained in Wash ington has bitterly fought it. ostensfbly no opposition came from railway inter- ests, but back of them were the strong Wall street financiers who controlled them. They fought the project at every turn and for years succeeded in holding the matter up and had there been no further action on the part of the peo- pie interested in the river transportation the project would have died
 Senators Bankhead and Underwood. and others in Birmingham, and Repre- sertatives Oliver of Tuscaloosa and Gray of Mobile, together with Senator Rams dell and a committee of business men of New Orleans, took the matter up with Director General McAdoo, with the re- suit that hearing was given and Judge Prouty assigned to hear whatever they had to say, who made favorable report which Director General McAdoo ap- nroya0

Gas Masks for Horses Are Being Sent
To France

The Gas Defense service is now
manufacturing about 5000 horse gas
masks per day. These are being sent
to France. and ii is expected that
short time every horse connected
with the American Expeditionary
Forces will be equipped with the new
masks.
The Gas Defense Service has a
completely equipped factory for the
manufacture of the masks. In less
than three weeks building was Sc
lected and the factory was produc-
ing masks. The. Introduction of riv-
citing machinery has done away with
the heavy hand sewing of the frame
which supports the masks on the
faces of the horses. The masks are
so constructed that no metal or
chemically impregnated parts can
chafe the horse.
