It is joy and comfort to know that those much talked of pains and other distresses that are said to proceed child bearing may be avoided. No wom- an need fear discomfort if she will fortify herself with the we'll known and time honored remedy, Mothers Friend.
 This is a most grateful, penetrating, external application that at once soft ems and makes plant the abdominal muscles and fragments. By regular use the muscles expand without the usual strain when baby is born and pain and danger at the crisis is consequently less
 Women everywhere who have used this famous remedy tell how they en- tirely avoided nervousness. twitching spells, bearing down and stretching pains, and relate how they enjoy entire freedom from the many facilitating and distressing experiences usually incident to approaching motherhood.
 Mothers Friend is recommended only for the relief and comfort of expectant mothers, thousands of whom have used and recomme ended it. It is for external use only. is absolutely and entirely safe and wonderfully effective.

may be so heavy that I shall find it
 inexpedient to make a large subscription
 for the fourth Liberty Loan. For that
 reason I hope that Congress will so act
 as not to make too heavy inroads upon
 business or upon incomes, for it is ax-
 iomatic that if the government takes too
 large an amount of money in the form
 of taxes, it will find that there is great
 difficulty in securing successful popular
 subscription to the next Liberty Loan"
 Occasionally a slight criticism is heard
 which relates to the time fixed by Sec erty Loan to the people. MT. Mc- Adoo's present intention is, so it is understood, to make that offer ing in October. But October is a little too early-if the farmers are to be relied upon to a great extent, since it will not be until late in the fall or early in the winter that they will receive the money for their crops The suggestion has been made that the Secretary so change his plans as to issue the loan so late in the year that it will be ap- p1opriate to call it the Christmas loan. Yet if that be done, it probably would result in heavy curtailment of customary expenditures in the holiday season. There is another suggestion which is voiced by almost all Of those who direct our banks and our corporations and that is that Congress so perfect the new tax law that the tax payer will know when he reads that law exactly what he will have | to pay. Many were confounded when undertaking in good faith to discover what they were required to pay under | the present law. Very able lawyers, after careful study, frankly confessed that | they were unable to understand certain provisions of the law and to give ad- vice to their clients That the fourth 1 Liberty Loan of $6,000,000oo0 will be sue cessfully foated is unquestioned, but i there is some doubt as to whether it will be a popular loan in the sense that the third Liberty Loan, which numbered | r, ,000, 900 subscribers, was; in other words, | it is possible that large part of this | fourth Liberty Loan may be financed by the banks.

fnent people in this country, and her beautiful influence, and splendid intel lectual attributes, I could never have accomplished what I did during the six months I spent in New York. Mrs. Lund chaperoned her lovely niece, Tulalulah Bankhead, ard myself in the big me tropolis and We certainly had a most wonderful winter; it reads like fairy story. Tulalulah has made a tremen- dous hit in the movies; she is now be- ing featured in alr the big playhouses of the east in her latest seven-reel pie ture, and her beauty and talent are the theme of lrlndreds interested in moving pictures. Through Tulalulah's influence l was invited to many of the exclusive studios and took part in various produc- tions, and I was simply thrilled to death over the opportunities I enjoyed.
 Among the pictures l appeared in. S Miss Davis said, twas The Lie,' with Elsie Ferguson; Tn Who Loved HIm Dest,' with Edna Goodrich; in stolen Orders, with Julian Eltinge, Kitty Cor don, MontagE Love- and Carlyle Black well, the wonderful Brady picture which included this combination of stars rarely ever seen in one cast in all moving pie ture history. I also had the pleasure of being with Billie Burke in her picture, Let's Get Divorce while the most in teresting thing that happened was the fact I was chosen, one of two girls, for blonde brunette experiment, by the directors of a large film corporation to test new lighting effect which brings out the blonde and brunette types in per feet contrast one to the other
 Asked how she regarded the honor of being Heading lady in the first picture of the American Phtoplay City cor poration, "The Forest Primeval," Miss Davis said:
 T am particularly flattered because the part is such an interesting one.

If the War Has to Be Won By Beauty, Pretty Ola
 Davis Will Have to Be Arrested For Hoarding
 Treasures Then the Sentence Would Be the Limit
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

@ F COURSE you've seen beauties U ] and beauties-professional and W otherwise-and you may think you've seen the beautifulest beauty in all the world, but you haven't unless you've seen Ola Davis, our own Alabama girl, from Birmingham's sister city, Tus- caloosa; who is just so pretty that mere cold gray type cannot possibly transfer to paper even a faint idea of her beauty.
 1 just wish 1 could tell you how pretty I think Ola Davis is; she is so young unconscious of it all, that it is a perfect joy to look at her.
 Yes, she's a brunette-perfect brunette 50 if you like blondes, you needn't read any furthef-but if you like brunettes with marvellous brown eyes that dazzle and sparkle, a complexion like La France roses, a mouth which is like what great lawyer of my acquaintance Galk- ing shop out of courD once said of feminine beauty; "A pretty mouth is like subsequent ratification of a power Of attorney; it covers all other defects" and a smile that absolutely fascinates and allures-why, then Ola is your ideal.
 Really, the girl is so pretty and so sweet and so charming that she seems sort of myth; but she isn't-for when she sings-ah, yes-I knew you'd think, as I did, that all this beauty were enough, and more, for one girl to pos sess, but the fair godmother who pre- sided at the feast when sweet Ola Davis lann 1;, 4t,ie, bright, happy world, decided that she was to be endowed with other gifts and so gave her a wondrous voice, and in addition to all this now she's shosen from all the hundreds of beauties in picture and in song to take the leading part in the first big moving picture which the American Photoplay City cor poration is to make out at Brompton, which is going to be to Alabama what Universal City is to California, marvel ous place where movie actors and &C., tresses by the score are to assemble and where MT. A. l.. Weston, the man who founded and built Universal City in Cal ifornia, is working like a boIshevik leader to whip things into shape so that active work may be started there early in July.
 The selection of Miss Davis as lead
 ing lady" for '"The Forest Primeyaf is iuss the first recognition which MT Wes- ton is going to show Alabama; for his American Photoplay City corporation is
 naugurated to give southern talent chance-an opportunity which cannot be secured in the east or west unless one has a tremendous "pull' or graft or whatever you call 1t.
 Being anxious to meet Miss Ola Davis long before I knew she had been paid the beautiful compliment of being chosen by MT. Weston as leading lady" for the forthcoming moving picture l had endeavored many times to make her ac- quaintance; you know every student at the University of Alabama for the past
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-06-29

Then, too, the play itself is so different from all the others l have taken part in. Mir David Wark Griffith and others have pronounced the scenario perfectly written, and MT. Griffith wanted to buy it, but Mir. Weston has kept this picture in reserve for the last two years, feel- ing that there would be time when he would find the glorious setting of na- ture to combine with the matchless beauties of the south, and having the many wonderful types that he has inter- viewed in this state in mind, the cast selected from the most beautiful and in- tellectual of southern women under the chaperonage of the best people in the state. who will assist at the American Photoplay site in making this mar velous scenic and artistic photoplay, where the beautiful springs and seen cry are located, and the hills rising in their majesty give perfect background that carries out the idea of the primeVai forest There will be at least 40 younS women representing Alabama's beauties real grace and culture in the company, and arrangements will be made to bring two of America's most noted male stars to assist in the picture and act Tn the leading roles of this production. 50 " really will be a wonderful picture.

few years has worshiped at the shrine of this beautiful girl-and she's done some wonderful histrionic work in the various oageants given on the university campus-but always my efforts to know her had been in vain until fate-who when she is kind, is awfully kind-turned her good graces in my direction recently, sending my sweet friend, Mrs. Arthur G. Lund Gouise Bankhead) with pretty Miss Davis to see me.
 I honestly and truly couldn't ask the girl questions for looking at her; she's so radiantly beautiful, and so young, young, young; with all her wonderful life before her, with all her talent and beauty and charm to declare dividend; but finally I got down to brass tacks" and asked Miss Davis to tell me some thing of her past winter in New York, where she went primarily to study voice and diG study with Madame Emma Thursby, but whose beauty attracted the moving picture people to such an extent that she was immediately corralled.
