It is certain that the greatest thing in all this world is health; {; without it a man can scarcely do any thing worth doing. he can accomplish little that is really worth accomplishing
 Attention to health then should take precedence over every other object. That which is necessary to secure it should receive consideration in preference to ev- erything else For instance. the prepa- ration, Plant Juice, the new herbal stomach remedy, which is gaining such q following in Birmingham, where daily grateful people are testifying to it's merits and recommending it to their friends.
 Recently the signed statement was re- ceived of Mrs. Margaret Davies. who lives at No 122 Waller street, Birmingham. West End, and who is well-known church worker, having been member for the past 60 years. She said:
 T had been a great sufferer from stomach trouble for a long time and was unable to get any relief. All my food fermented and turned sour in my stomach and I would bloat up like balloon. had severe headaches and dizzy spells, and at times felt as though I was falling from a great height. I had pains all through my body and black specks would come before my eyes.
 q suffered also from a bad case of catarrh of the head, nose and throat. The gas in my stomach pressed under my heart and caused palpitation. l had be- come so bad that I was unable to do any of my housework. and was growing weaker every day, as I could not eat.
 My druggist advised me to try Plant Juice, which I did. It helped me at once, and in a short time I was able to eat any kind of food and I sleep the night through I passed from my system a monster parasite, called Tape Worm, which measured s feet in length, and from that day to this I have never had a return of my old trouble. It certainly was godsend to me and I will never ge. through telling about this medicine, Plant Juice. restoring me to health'

SENATOR M'KELLAR SAYS AMERICANS WILL DECIDE WAR Alumnus of the University Makes Patriotic Address
 to Graduates CO-EDUCATION SHOWS INSTITUTIONS GROWTH Herbert c. Hoover Was Unable to, Accept Invitation of Presi-
 dent Denny to Be
 Present stee

Tuscaloosa, May 2S.-(special) 'erhe greatest tribute to the growth of this institution is the young lady graduates whom see in front of me" declared Senator Kenneth D. McKehar of Tennessee, in opening his com mencement address at the state unl- versity. Senator Mcclellan, a former student of the University of Ala bama, and who was honored yester- day by having the degree of LA ID. conferred upon him, spoke at length on the war, giving as his reason Tor choosing that subject the fact that the mind of all America is focused on one thought, the winning of the war. MT. McKellar's remarks, however, were from the viewpoint of a member of Congress, and he declared that the United States would send 25o,000 men to the front during the month of June.
 ''rhe war at present is a draw, practically, and has been that for four years, but we are going to send enough Americans to France to win the fight.
 "We are not concerned now with the cause of the war;" he continued. The sinking of the Lusitania was suf- ficient cause. But that is not the only outrage that has been committed by the PruSSian bruteS, for they nave murdered innocent men, women and children, sunk our ships and destroyed our property; they have marked off zone on the high seas and said you cannot cross this line. Tn other words, Germany told us that we could rot use our own property or exert our rights. We did not stay out of that zone and we are not going to-"
 In speaking of the gigantic task with which Congress has had to cope since the declaration of war Senator McIIellar pointed out that during the past year Congress has accomplished much, including the increase of tie regular army from 25o,00o to 100000 men, the increasing of taxes on lux uries and incomes, raising the pay of soldiers, building ships at an unheard of rate, passing laws authorizing loans to the allies amounting to billions giving allowances to the families of soldiers. and now the United States army is the best paid, clothed and fed of any in the world.
 Food Administrator Herbert Hoover was scheduled to speak at the univer- sity today, but was detained in Wash ington by official duties, which pre- vented his accepting the invitation of President Denny to be his guest during the commencement
