BOY SCOUTS CAMP

At meeting of all troops of Besse- mer Boy Scouts at the hall on Twent- ieth street Friday evening, plans for the annual camp were perfected. Scoutmas- ter R. l.. Coons read the laws adopted by the scoutmasters for the control of the camp, which will be conducted along military lines
 The boys will receive orders through the bugle call, Tom DeJarnette, acting as bugler, and will arise in the morn ing and go to bed at night, partake of their meals and camp activities ac- cording to schedule. There will be cer- tain hours for swimming, when the scoutmasters and the best swimmers among the boys will be on guard to protect the smaller boys.
 The scouts were impressed by MT. Coons to be kind and considerate of each other, especially towards the younger boys among the number at tending the camp. Regular records will be kept of each troops and silver cup will be presented to the troop making the highest score.
 Scoutmasters Bumgardner and McEn- fry both made talks at the joint meet ing, following MT. Coons, and all plans were made for leaving the city early Monday morning. The boys will hike the eleven miles to camp Andrews, mak- ing the trip during the day Monday, and will eat their first meal in camp Mon day evening.

PARTING DINNER

w. T. Kennedy, a pioneer citizen of Bessemer, who will leave the city Sep tember l, to make his home in Denver Col. entertained number of his friends with a dinner at his home Fri day evening, as a parting compliment to friendships, that have endured throughout period of 30 years.
 Those invited to partake of MT Ken nedy's hospitality were men, who had come to Bessemer more than 30 years ago, and had remained citizens during that time, and had watched the growth of the city. c. H. Stevenson acted as toastmaster, and as each guest respond ed to being called upon for speech, a reminiscence of the old pioneer days in Bessemer was given, many of them very laughable stories of their early experiences in the city.
 delightful dinner of several courses was served to the following: w. H. H. Judson. G. H. Stevenson, w. J. Long. pr. J w. Carter, pr. E. P. Lacey w. A. simmons Lee Mattingly, Col w. B. Gere. Sam Lejkovits. H. Goldberg. pr. R. P. McTyeire. Alex Carrell, Martin Barr, Sam Stein, and Alex Little

TECHNICAL BOOKS NEEDED

Mrs. W. T. Warlick. the librarian, is making a request of the corporations in the Bessemer district, whose employees are readers at the local library, to donate such reference books as will be read by men employed by them. The request has grown out of an increasing demand for such books by the employees at the va rious plants, which cannot be met by the local library.
 Mrs Warlick feels confident that the library will be assisted in this way by the corporations of the district when the need for technical books is presented to them. Mrs. Warlick has become so in terested in the reference students at the library that she proposed to keep the library open two evenings each week so that the books may be accessible for the readers, without any extra salary being paid her, and it is thought that if the demand arises for the library to be opened every evening that members of the Bessemer Culture club will assist in acting librarian in the evenings.
 The people of Bessemer are becoming more interested in the local library and every week several volumes are added as donations from those interested in the growth of the local institution.

|SHE WANTS THE

KNOW ABOUT IT
Kansas City Woman Declares
That Tanlac Alone Is RespOn-
sible for Recovery of Health.

My eight years search for medi-
cine that would overcome my troubles
never met with any success until l
commenced taking Tanlac." said Mrs.
A. B. Cosseboon, who lives at AS In
dependence avenue, Kansas City, Mo-.
the other day.
MY kidneys and stomach were both
in very bad condition" she continued,
land the awful pains in my back and
the terrible raging headaches / had
would almost drive me wild, and II
stopped over for anything it was i'm
possible for me to straighten up with
out assistance. Then 1 would have
severe pains on aclount of my food
not digesting properly and forming
into what felt like lump in the pit of
my stomach. / was also bothered a
great deal on account of my limbs get
ting numb, or going to sleep, and
would often have to rub them with
alcohol before I could get any relief.
Finally my nerves got in very bad con-
dition and 1 was not able to sleep very
Well, and just got so weak and run
down that it would exhaust me COM
pletely to do my house work.
After reading SO much about Tan
lac I decided to give it trial. / am
now as we'll and happy as I ever was
in my life. Why, the change in my con-
dition Is so wonderful that everybody
knows me is talking about 1t, and
always take a delight in telling them
that Tanlac is responsible for it all.
NY kidneys seem to be in perfect
condition now and / am entirely free
from those pains in my back and
haven't had one of those raging head
aches since I finished my first bottle
of Tanlac. 1 eat anything I want and
my food digests perfectly. The numb
ness and pains in my limbs have dis
appeared and I sleep like a child every
night My strength and energy have
come back to me, and I can do all my
housework without the least trouble. IN
fact Tanlac has made me a well,
strong woman again, and I just want
the world to know what a great medi-
cine Tan1ac is"
