Now you would never think that the man whose mug" shines above walks under the burden of such double honor as being the son of an ex-con- gressman from Georgia (whom the people, had to get the President to give lifetime job as member of the port appraisal committee of New York in order to ever beat him) and being an agent for "4d" motor cars, trucks, ct cetera but Reese AdamsJn, president of the Adamson Motor com pany, is guilty of all that and more.
 Reese Adamson came to Birmingham a few years ago--a very few-and about all he had was good record with Henry Ford and plenty Of pep, and an insane longing for the system stuff. which he later ran through the elimination processes of business ana dubbed 'efficiency.'
 Every once in q while he hauls OH and books into Birmingham speaker that has a range in experience and knowledge. practical and ethical, as long as that of the big gun that Fritz" is shooting up Paris with, to make 90-minute address to his men about up-to- o-the-minuteness on every thing that pertains to his business. lie hards them this info" through the im- ported mouth. not on an empty Sloih- ach. either-he feeds them at the Tut, and they are ready to receive advlce when he taps the gong for the off cial gabber to go to it.
 Reese is selling Ford cars, trucks and all such on four wheels-but he has made up his mind to tear up the earth around in his territory with some of the Fordson tractors, which he is go- ing to let the farmers have at factory cost, handling the sale just because he used to hop over clods himself, and he has yet sympathy for those who have to. and wishes to improve the agricultural efficiency of Alabama get that deficiency ?"-for that is his Prince Albert in the business world.
 Blow down on Third avenue between Seventeenth and Sixteenth streets and peep into his gaseous quarters-about the most complete Ford shop you ever spied--and get acquainted with this modest young man with a hunch that he has got more than a living coming to him. and that the world owes 1t to him, and that he will just get out in Henry and collect it.

Doctors Say Calomel
 Is Best Medicine

According to the worlds greatest physicians and medical experts, calomel is the best and most universally useful of all medicines. Medical authorities prescribe calomel for almost every dis ease and explain that it is the best and surest of all system purifiers. They say that calomel cleanses the liver. stom- ach, bowels and kidneys and purifies the blood from all poisons, making the system pure and clean so that nature can quickly restore the health
 Now that science has purified calo- mel of all its nauseating and danger ous qualities. the new kind of calomel, called "Calotabs.' is even more popu- lar than the old. As liver cleanser and system purifier Calotabs are more effective than the old style calomel. yet are entirely delightful in effect. One Calotab at bedtime. with a swal- low of water-that's all. No nausea nor the slightest unplea santness. Next morning you awake feeling fine, with 8 hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat what you please and go where you please-there is no restriction of habit or diet
 Calotabs are sold only in original, sealed packages, price thirty-five cents Your druggist recommends and guarantees Calotabs, and will refund your money if you are not delighted wttH them.-Ad.

SOLDIER WRITES
 OF HIS TREATMENT
 BY THE RED CROSS

From the Pittsburg Index-Appeal.
 A mother who is Red Cross worker in her home town gave to her chapter the following letter she had received from her son in France:
 If you could have seen me yester- day, when I left trenches which the rains have turned into open sewers, even you would never have known me. I was mud from head to foot, so cov- cred with crawling things that the poorest tramp in the world would have run from me, and I fairly ached for rest.
 You see, my first furlough had be- gun, and caught train for Paris. We were packed into a freight car Travel is so congested we spend most of our time stopping. At last, when night came, we were dumped out at rail- way junction with the information that the train for Paris would be along the next day
 CANTEEN LIKE N. Y. HOTEL
 q tell you I was discouraged. Then suddenly across the tracks from our station I saw an American Red Cross canteen, and all my troubles were al an end.
 Lots of people must have the same idea of these canteens that I used to have just little shacks where you were handed out cup Of sloppy coffee. We are all wrong. Those Red Cross places beat New York hotel for variety of service, even if they don't have the gilt furniture and tip takers. Here is what happened to me:
 First I had bath, a real one, with plenty of soap and water. While I was getting clean my clothes, every stitch, were sleaned and sterilized. Then had a meal of real American cooking, actually sitting down at table to eat it. After that I went into the canteen barber shop and had shave and haircut. Then. being a gentleman of leisure, I strollei l into the canteen movie theatre and saw some good American films However, I soon turned in for the night into a clean. dry bed that felt like heaven or home.
 And now this morning, after a fine breakfast, I am sitting in the canteen writing this letter to you and waiting comfortably for my train. You just can t possibly imagine what these Red Cross women are doing for us soldiers and for the French and English, too. Each canteen takes care of thousands every day.
 "They make us feel like human be- ings once again and give us the nerve to go on with this game of licking the Kaiser. And when we win you can give a good share of the victory to the American Red Cross"
