TIVE NEVER SEEN
 ANYTHING LIKE II"
Steele Had To Quit Railroad ing On Account of Bad
 Health.

IT l could speak with everybody per sonally who has stomach trouble and rheumatism l would tell them to take Tanlac, for l have tried it myself and have never seen anything like it." was the statement made by J. T. Steele ot Shirley, H., recently. Mr Steele, who is now employed in a general store in Shir- ley, was formerly conductor on the L. X N. railroad. which position he states he had to give up on account of bad health.
 "A number of years ago, while rail- roading,' he continued, T began suffer ing from stomach trouble and rheuma- tlsm and kept getting worse in spite ot all could do. My appetite left me and I would suffer terribly from indiges- .tion and gas on the stomach after every meal My head ached great deal of the time. l also suffered agonies from rheumatism and felt tired, worn-out ana no account all the time. I simply got to where l had to be careful as d baby about my eating, was very pale, and fin ally became so thin and weak was forced to give up railroading altogether
 About this time l began to see Tan lac recommended very highly and decided to see if it would help me as others said it had them My stomach soon got in shape to where 1 could eat cabbage, beans, meats, potatoes ana just anythlny : else l wanted without the slightest trou- ble afterwards So l kept on taking Tan lac and when I finished my fifth bottle my rheumatism and all my other troubles had disappeared and I had gained To pounds in weight besides. That was nearly three years ago, but I have held my weight and felt fine to this good day. So I can testify to both the immediate and lasting results that come from the use of Tanlac, and firmly believe If 1 had known about it in time I could have continued my railroad work. No doubt there are lots of people today suffering like I did before I took Tanlac and if can show them the road to health I think it is nothing but right that I should do SOL
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham by IIu- gene Jacobs Drug store and Patton Pope Drug company, and by the leading druggists in practically every city, town and village in America.-Adv.

ALBANY-DECATUR FIGHT
 IS WORSE THAN EVER

Washington, February 1S.-(Special.) Residents of Albany and Decatur are preparing to return to Washington for the purpose of renewing their bitter fight regarding the location of a post office authorized for construction and intended to serve the patrons of both cities.
 The charge by Albany is that the site selected is in Decatur whereas the law in : tended that it be midway between the two cities.
 Representative Almon is committed to the site selected When last the Albany
 delegation was in Washington it se- cured promises from the postoffice de- partment that reinspection would be ordered.
 This reinspection would entail great delay in beginning work Because of tha: fact Decatur got active and it is under stood that the reinspection has been blocked.
 It is said that Albany is returning to demand that the department carry out its agreement. It is said that Decatur aware of the plan of Albany, is also prepared to return. The trouble is deep seated and of long standing.

Scores of Enthusiastic WOm- en Assembled At Auburn From Every Section
 of State

Auburn, February 1S.-(Special. )-Over three score alert enthusiastic, earnest women assembled from every portion of Alabama. and representative of its en- ergy and intelligence, are counselling to- gether here this week concerning the fu- ture welfare of the women and girls on the farm. They are the working division Of the Alabama extension service home demonstration work, and they are off cially known in their respective localities as the home demonstration agents
 It is the annual meeting of this division of workers, called to confer with their state and district executives, well as each other, as to the plans for the com ing year, in the light of what has been accomplished in the past.
 The session really began Sunday after noon in Langdon hall, where with rep resentative audience in attendance, Pres ident c. C. Thach rehearsed the extension service and extended cordial greeting on behalf of the college to the visitors. An impromptu response was made on be- half of the agents by Miss Evelyn Pey- ton of Huntsville. A musical programme was also carried out, which included a saxaphone quartette Soap Box Solo, and a piano duet. The community sing was conducted by Miss Perryman.
 This mornings session was called to order by Miss Mary Feminear, state dem onstration agent, who reviewed the work O. 1918, it's weak and strong points, and emphasized what was to be done in 1919. She also reported upon the high stand shown by Alabama in the conference of state demonstration agents at Washington in December.
 ''The Need of More Bread in the Diet was the subject of an address by Miss Hannah Wessling, chemist assistant in home demonstration work Washington, D. C., who stressed the value from an economic standpoint of cereals, eggs and milk in conserving the meat ration.
 Miss Helen Johnston, assistant state home demonstration agent, spoke of the necessity of outlining the coming years work for the womens home department clubs and the following committee was appointed to prepare and report same:
 Miss Martha Armstrong of Birmingham, Miss Dianna Bankson of Gadsden, Mrs Louise S. Day of Nixburg, Mrs. Bessie C. Moore of Opelika, Mrs. Mabel Feagin of Union Springs, and Miss Mary H. Cooper Of Bay Minette.

 J. T. Watt, state farm demonstration agent, closed the morning session with a talk on the Relation of Farm Demon stration Work to Home Demonstration Work.

Senators Martin and Swanson of Vir- ginia, because the man who, through regular channels of promotion, would have received the plum reserved for Noble, was a Virginian, Col Jeff Kean. inter- posed, and the committee decided to give them a hearing before sending the nam, of the Alabamian to the Senate.
 This is the official status. It develops, however, that strong feeling exists be tween Surgeon General Ireland and Secretary of War Baker. The latter in sists that Noble be promoted and the de- sire of the President thus carried out.
 General Ireland declares his wish and not that of the President should pre- vail in matters relating to his depart ment
 A sentence in his statement follows: 'The promotion would be demoralizins as far as the medical department is con- cerned.'
 It is regarded as possible that the nomination will not be reported until after March 4, and as improbable that even if reported, confirmation will be secured before that date.

Little Stories Of the
 DayFro1 Washington
Smoulderng Fires Flare Up and Borah Declines to Dine With President-Abany- Decatur Postoffice Fight Breaks Out Afresh-Colonel Noble's
 Case Develops Fued
By HUGH w. RoBERTs

Washington, February 1S.-(Special.) Smouldering coals sprung into flames this afternoon and the battle against the league of nations is on. Senator Borah declined to dine with the President with other members of the foreign relations committee, and Senator Vardaman de- clared that the Presidents insistance that there be -fo debate was as a request that man in a authenticated wood, chforo- form himself in order that he might not see his danger. Senator Poindexter gave notice that tomorrow he would fire his
 Big Bertha" at the Presidents citadel, and it was understood that his detona- tion would be followed by explosives from the artillery of Senators Reed, Gore and Lodge.
 The most interesting development was the action of Borah. The senator is one of the able and independent members of the upper body. His reason was given with reservation when he declared the conference would amount to nothing in asmuch as he could not convince the President and the President could not convince him.
 In expressing his opinion of the scheme of the President he would have para phrased, "Oh, that my enemy would write boolx' into 70 that my enemy would dine with me and thus become in fluenced through my cordial entertain ment"
 In talking with newspaper men this aft ernoon, he was smilingly reticent. If, however, he hoped to influence other members of the committee to emulate his example he failed It developed that all others will attend and run the risk of thralldom as result of the Presidents s logic
 The conservative element in Congress believes the President, after long and bit ter battle, will win, and that the con- stitution of the league will be ratified. Alabama senators have not as yet taken public position.

Chairmen of the units of the Booker T. Washington auxiliary of the Red Cross chapter are requested to call at their headquarters in the Pythian building to get allotments of sewing. The secretary says: Our faithful members completed so refugee shirts for the January allot- ment, which we consider a very credita- ble portion. The new work consists of baby clothing for the little ones in France and Belgium. It is much easier to make than the shirts. Let us continue our eff forts with zeal and faithfulness. !

DEAR FOLKS

IN llllS IGIleI l take great l pleasure in introducing to you MT. Thomas E. Will son, President of Wilson & Company, Chicago, who, in the business world is trying honestly to live up to the ideals that Abraham Lincoln implanted in our individual life.
 Mind you, 'associate-work- CTS" to him means every worker in his organization members of the official family, office workers and day laborers. They are all alike to him.
 He measures a man or wom- an by his or her character his or her devotion to duty his or her conception of the meaning of brotherhood and siste ood of men and women.
 He has no frills about him. He is plain Thomas E. Will son - worker and man - with a heart that pumps real red blood through his veins and makes him love his fel- low-workers - makes him tn ough tful and kind makes him anxious to serve them in every possible way makes him long for their happiness and contentment. MT. Wilson was the head of another great business three years ago, but he did not own the business.
 He rose from the ranks of the humblest workers in the organization to the presi- dency thereof.
 He climbed to success with out mourning the envy of any of his associate-workers.
 He has played the part of a real man all through his DuSlneSS lie.
 He has always had the ad- miration and affection of fellow-workers because he has always played fair with all of them.
 His present associate-Work- CTS tell me, many of whom have known him and worked alongside of him for twenty five years, that he is the same Thomas E. Wilson, the same genuine, whole souled, kindly, considerate man he was when he was earning $20.00 a week. Financial success has not turned his head; it has not closed his heart, in it's sym pathy and it's action, for the good and the comfort and the contentment and happi- ness of those who work with him and for him.
 Had he been content with mere money ess he would not have undertaken the development of the busi- ness in the same line to which he has given his un- divided attention for over a quarter of a century.
 If money only appealed to him, he would have stepped into middle life a very suc- cessful man-with the power to buy everything he or the members of his family might

bearing HIS OWH HdfIle. I1e has ideals that are intimate ly associated with his name and with no other.
 Operating under his own name - assuming personal responsibility for the adop- ton and execution of broad, humane and unusual stand ards of business practice gave him new inspiration in his work.
 It was only three years ago in March of this year that MT. Wilson gave his name and his energy and his abil- ity and his heart to the busi- ness of Wilson & Company. 1 asked many people While 1 was in Chicago what was the name of the business firm to which the name Will son & Company had been given.
 Not single one could tell me.
 All they knew was that the name Wilson & Company had become very well and very favorably known and that it stands for the highest ideals in business practice that it stands for the highest principles in service to the public-facts that are borne out by the statement that the business SIS has more than trebled in volume in three years.
 Everywhere l go-and I meet hundreds of people every week of my life II hear that MT. Wilson puts more heart and soul into bus mess than any man they ever heard of.
 Chicago people are very proud of the name Wilson. They think that Wilson & Company, by their methods and the heart they put into the business, are adding to the fame of Chicago.
 It is a splendid test of a mans character and his pop ularity when his hometown people speak up for him en- thusiastically and affection ately as Chicago people do speak of Thomas E. Wilson. You know, folks, that this is true, don't you?
 You have examples in your hometown, haven't you? You know the men and women in your community who play the game of life on the level.
 And how you like them, don't you?
 But the best certificate of character that any man can receive is that given to him by the men and women with whom he comes in daily con- tact.
 l like MT. Wilson personally very much. 1 think he is liked very much by every body that meets him-but I have not formed my impress sions of him through per sonal contact.
 l haven't seen MT. Wilson often or very long at a time. l don't think l have spoken to him as many words as there are in this letter to you. What have learned about him l have learned by ask ing people in Chicago and in other cities; but 1 got my real look into his heart and his character and his busi- ness principles by mingling With his associate-workers. They say, with deepest per- SOn91 offootio,, +bo+ x,L
