BIRMINGHAM ID BE
 HEADQUARTERSFO FOR
 LABOR RECRUITING
Speakers Face Huge Task of Acquainting Public With the New Regulations
 for Handling Labor

| Montgomery. July o.-(Spectal l)-Speak- CTS and workers representing all war
 activities of Alabama Monday began the
 biggest task which has faced the state since the selective service act became
 effective, acquainting the people with the regulations of the United States em- pioyment service relating to the handling | of labor in essential industries after
 August 1.
 All recruiting of unskilled labor for war industries in the future will be done by the United States employment service, headquarters in Alabama being at Bir- | ningham in charge of George B. Tarrent
 state director. The great task now is to let the people know of the new reg ! ulations and in the carrying out of this task the government has obtained the services of the Alabama council of de- fense the Alabama four-minute mems organization and the self-preservation loyalty league. which were formed in the state recently by the federal employ. ment service
 Because all plans for the recruitment of unskilled labor for war industries have not been completed, the government Monday advised the Ala abama council of defense that war industries would be permitted to recruit labor under gov ernment supervision for a short time When these plans are made. the govern ment will issue a quota to this state which will be the amount of unskillej labor which the state should furnish to war industries This quota will be pro rated among the communities and they will be expected to furnish their quota from industries which are not considered essential to the conduct of the war
 All war industries have been called upon to notify the state director of the number of men needed in their plants and these calls will be the basis for de- should furnish Private recruiting per- will be credited to the quotas of the va rious communities which furnish the men.
 The message of the government car rying the work or fight order of the war department and the needs of the nation in war industries and in the harvesting of crops will be put before the people at all gatherings by the four minute men during the period between Monday and August r, when the campaign will end.
 The plan of the employment service. is to furnish local needs first in order to save long hauls of workers at time when they should be working every day
 in the week and full hours each day. For instance, Alabama men will be fur nished to plants in the state and if there be more than there is need for in the state the overplus will be carried to some other state.

ALLIES GETTING 10 MILLIONS DAILY
 FROM UNCLE SAM

Washington, July S9-1n announcing today that credits to allied governments by the United Estates now have reached s6, 4se, ,o4o0oo. treasury officials explained that secrecy would be maintained con- corning the disposition of this money as a means of withholding information which might be valuable to the enemy. Reports that the treasury was consid- ering making public the allied purchases in this country, most of which are fi- nanced by the United States government, were denied.
 The interallied council of finance and purchases. of which Oscar T. Crosby, As sistant Secretary of the Treasury, is pres ident, now forwards periodically to the treasury from London or Paris itemized estimates of the foodstuffs, war materials or other supplies needed for future months. These estimates are carefully inspected by American officials as the basis on which new credits or loans are made from time to time. The reports also are used to determine priority of shipment of the commodities to the vari- ous allies.
 The allies now are getting about 0,oo0,- 00o a day from the United States. The treasury today advanced s1oo,o 600 to France. $9,oo0,000 to Belgium and 5000, 900 to Serbia.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 3o.-Scattered light showers in northeastern and central Texas was insufficient to break the drouth the heaviest rainfall being, Riv- erside, 1.04; Temple, .75; Nagadoches, .6l Local showers are predicted for today, but the trade could not see any rain on the map and with the bureau report com ing on Thursday, they became buyers from the opening, advancing the market sharply. We have the same unchanged condition, namely, that until it rains in Texas every decline is quickly re- covered. There is still time for the Texas crop to be benefited as 1t was in 1914 by rains but the trade wants to see the rains before taking a position. though they admit the conditions elsewhere are very favorable-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

I'm so grateful for the wonderful re- lief l have gotten from taking Tanlac that I would be willing to walk 20 miles u tell anyone who suffers like l did what this medicine has done for me- said Miss Adeline Mckenzie, 424 Sixth avenue. south, Nashville, Tenn.
 T suffered for about IS months from nervous prostration and kept getting worse in spite of all I could do l had no appetite at all, and after eating my stomach would burn like I had swal- lowed a fire coal. I would turn cold one minute and hot the next at times, and I was so nervous I couldn't keep still. I could hardly sleep at all and fell off at least 60 pounds.
 After I tried several different medi- cires without getting any relief, my brother got me a bottle of Tanlac and I started taking it. By the time I had finished my second bottle, my appetite began to improve and the troubles were greatly relieved. The burning sensation in my stomach has disappeared, the ner- vousness is all gone, I sleep like a child at night and besides gaining 25 pounds in weight, I am in splendid health again"
