It costs good deal to consult spe- cialist now-a-d days, but his prescription for rheuma tism can be had at any of our home prescription druggists at slight cost, by asking for the number C-2223. It is liquid, taken internally as per dose pasted on the bottle. One of our down town druggists says C-2223 quickly drives out of your system all the uric acid and impurities that cause rheuma tism. At the sama time the blood is made pure and rich. If any of our readers suffer from bone pains, swollen muscles or joints. backaches, pains all over the body, dizziness, lum = bago, or any form of rheumatism or blood poison are advised to ask any of our home prescription druggists for Prescription C-2223 We never can tell the good it will do us until we try it. We understand our home druggists will give us back the slight cost of C-2223 if it don't benefit us. so it seems well worth while trying.

The harmony commission!

The harmony commission!
 That's the eulogy Birminghams city commissioners have won. For ever since that day in September, 1917, when five Birmingham citizens took the oath of fidelity as city executives, peace, friendship and concord have reigned in the city hall.
 Evidence of the tranquility has been noticed in the peaceable meetings that take place when the commissioners assemble for the regular Tuesday meetings. From behind the massive, and also protective. oaken table the city fathers proceed with their de- Alterations. The commissioners look as natural as if they had been born for the job and optimistic enough to make one believe their constituents had sworn to keep them there the rest of their days.

 East Lake bathing beach will be a mec- ca for Magic City bathers this summer, and while the patronage accorded the bathing pool last summer was easily the biggest in the parks history. it is ex- pected to double this year, with the fs- cilities for bathing having been increased fully 50 per cent. Two life guards are on duty at all times, the beach has been converted into a veritable seaShore playground. The bed of the lake has been covered in beach gravel to eliminate the mud evil. new bathing suits have been purchased. the bathhouse renovated and remodeed with individual lockers for each patron.

You have paid your tribute to the doughboy and now tell me about the staff officers I begged, but it was little hard to get him going for he felt delicacy in talking about his superiors; they are a really interesting lot, those members or the staff, and no wonder their colonel is proud of them.
