BEsSEMER NEWS

Bessemer, May 2o.-tSpeciaL)-A most noticeable improvement has been made since the reorganization of the Civic as- sociation and the appointment of a spe- cial committee to superintend the work being done and to direct the park keeper. Mrs R. W. Waldrop is chairman of this committee and it is due to her efforts and interest in the park that it has been so greatly improved.
 The City park is the beauty spot of Bessemer and it Is real monument to the members of the old Civic association that has recently been reorganized. One of the most noticeable improvements is in the appearance of the pavilion, which was moved last summer near the ce--ier of the park as more fitting place for the community sings to be held. The foundation of the pavilion has been lat- ticed and the whole newly painted.
 Flowers have been planted more artis- tically and many early plants are bloom. ing The hedge surrounding the park has been neatly trimmed and altogether the park is looking it's best this spring. The community sings will be resumed soon. it is stated, and the park vii again be the most popular place in the city.

BOYS TROUb[ECOS
 MOTHER THOUSANDS
Suffered. Since He Was Two Years Old-Gains Sixteen Pounds on Tanlac-Now
 We'll and Strong

My nephew, James Hogans who is 15 years of age, has gained 16 pounds on Tanlac and is now a robust, happy boy after 13 years of awful suffering" said Miss Maggie Goldsmith, 2S0 Henry ave, Memphis, Tenn. Miss Goldsmith has been connected with the Joe l.. U1lathorie Seed Co. of that city for 27 years, and is a stockholder and director in the company.
 ~Ever since James was two years old, D continued Miss Goldsmith, The has been afflicted with stomach trouble. Two or three hours after eating, especially the evening meal, he would begin to com- plain of severe pains in his stomach, which woudl increase until he woudl go intos convulsions. These spells would come on five or six times month and last about 90 minutes and he would be unconscious for an hour. Some said he had heart trouble and others said it was vertigo. His condition kept him down to almost skeleton and it was pitiful to see how he suffered.
 His mother took him to St. Louis and many other places for treatment. and we spent thousands of dollars trying to find some relief for him, but 1t was all of no avail.
 "But all that awful load of anxiety and worry has been lifted. James is now a well and happy boy and Is going to school, and a few bottles of Tanlac did it. He always complained of having to take other medicines, but he seemed to Ike Tanlac. and since taking five bot ties he is 16 pounds heavier and doesn't look like the same boy. He wants to eat all the time and can seat anything without it hurting him. It makes us rejoice to see James well and stout and enjoying life like other boys We are not looking for notoriety, but for the sake of suffering humanity we are will ing to give our unqualified indorsement for Tanlac."
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham by Flu gene Jacobs drug store and Patton Pope Drug company, and by the leading druggists in practically every city. town and village in America.-Adv.

REVISION OF SHIP BUILDING IS PUT
 BEFORE THE YARDS
Builders Asked Whether They Would Accept Flat Prices in Lieu of Old
 Cost Plus System
By Associated Press

Washington. May 20.-Revision of the snlpbuilding programme to a peace-time basis was put before the representatives of Atlantic, Gulf and Lake yards by the shipping board at a series of tcon- ferences concluding today which were held preliminary to submission to Con- gress of estimates of money needed to finish the great merchant marine.
 The great builders were asked if they were prepared to accept flat prices in lieu of the old cost plus system. involv- ing lower margin of profit and no guar antee against increases in the prices of labor and materials. About 30 per cent Of outstanding contracts are based on the cost plus system.
 Another meeting soon will be held aft CT the owners have had a chance to study the situation and formulate their answers Pacific coast builders will meet with the board Thursday to consider the same problem.
 Chairman Hurley frankly told the yard representatives that the industry develop ed by the war emergency was not on a normal basis, now that peace had come,
 
 De made to enable American ships to compete with the foreign product. It was made clear that the board had no intention to interfere arbitrarily with the industry nor to attempt to prevent legit- innate profit on contracts made in good faith and on which the builders were as- sured they would receive equitable treat ment.
 Where keels have not been laid. how ever, the board asks generous co-opera- t1on from the yards in putting down the high cost justified during the war emergency, and where material has not been delivered in substituting new flat price contract and types of ships needed to make a well-balanced fleet.
 Until flat prices can be quoted on tom mage stfl Ito be built, the board does not expect to ask Congress for an appropria tion Nearly s70O,00 600 will be needed to carry out contracts which the board al- ready has been authorized to make. App proxima tely 750000 tons of small ships probably will be cancelled to allow the substitution of larger types in the same yards.
 Reduction in building costs will save many millions to the government. It is believed the readjustments will reach s150,000,00o, but no official estimate was forthcoming. New problems will arise in connection with the high cost yards. a number Of which doubtless will be un- able to survive in the compilation which is inevitable at the return of normal con- ditions. Experts of the board did not hesitate to say there are more yards now than the country needs, and regard the passing of the weaker as to be expected, as their function ended with the close of hostilities Owners of all yards built for war mea SureS are being compensated as other industries are, it was stated.
