BIRMINGHAM LADY AND HER DAUGHTER
 DOUbLY THANKFUL
Great Relief From Stomach Trouble, Indigestion, Cas-
 tritis and Constipation
THEY TOOK DRECO

Both my daughter Kate and myself nave been taking Dreco, the new root ana herb juice remedy, and we are very thankful for the benefits it gave us :. oeciared Mrs S. J. Byers, the highly esteemed lady of Route 4, Birmingham. Ala.
 our troubles seemed to be just alike I'i poth or us were constipated, and had 10 take pills or salts all the time to keen the bowels moving. If we would forget to take something every night, the next day we would be bound up, and have headaches and dizzy spells. Our food lay heavy and gave us lot of pain. and the gas would bloat our stomachs ter rlbly, and gave very uncomfortable Ieellng. Backache often caused me much suffering. and it was an effort for me to bend over.
 Three bottles of Dreco have given DOS itive relief to both of us, for we now eat anything we want and never have that gas nor pains in the stomach nor dizzy spells. The backache has all gone and have gained ten pounds. Dreco sure did the work for us alright"
 Dreco is a pure herbal remedy, made from the juices and extracts of many herbal plants. which act on the stom- ach, liver, kidneys, bladder. bowels and blood.
 Dreco does not contain any iron, pot ash, mercury, or harmful minerals of any kind. Constipation quickly yields to the Dreco treatment, even when it has been of long standing. Sluggish flyers become active and backaches and rheu- matism soon disappear.
 Dr. Tharp, the well known Dreco ex- pert, has headquarters at Jacobs Pharm- acy, to meet the local public and explain the merits of this great remedy. See him today. Dreco is also sold by the Fulton Drug Co.,. Bessemer; Halr g Pharmacy. Fairfield; Central Pharmacy. Wylam.-Adv.

pATHETIC SCENE IN COURT

Aniston. June 19.-(Special)-There was a pathetic scene in the circuit courtroom Thursday morning when a trial for the possession of the ? years and months old baby of Clem and Ava Hale was about to begin.
 The couple were separated sometime ago. and the husband secured possession of the baby. Mrs. Hale instituted pro- ceedings to recover the baby and the 1rial was to have been had Tuesday morning, but owing to the absence of witnesses, was continued until 10 a. m, Saturday.
 Under order of the court. Mrs. Hale vas allowed possession of the baby for 10 minutes. which brought about a pa thetic scene. Both mother and child wept with joy and the unusual scene brought tears to the eyes of number of spectators.
 The wife charges the husband with beating her and has sworn out warrant to that effect against her husband. The trial of that case. however, will be in Judge Wiilett's court and will have noth- ing to do with the determination of the possession of the baby. Mrs. Hale is very young It is said that she married MT Hale when she was little more than F wears old.

ADVERTISING FOR
 JOBS FOR SOLDIERS
Local U. $. Employment Service Suggests Plan to
 Aid Soldiers

Greater efforts are being made at the offices of the United States en- ployment service to get jobs for the returned soldiers, sailors and marines. For the past few days hundreds of let ters have been sent out to great em- ployers requesting that the utmost energy be utilized Tn the search for more and more jobs for the veterans of the world war.
 One of the features of the heavy correspondence of the local offices of the United States employment service was the fact that yesterday names of all the advertisers were taken from copies of all three daily newspapers in Birmingham and a letter was sent to each one of them requesting that in future advertising some reference be made to the need of jobs for returned soldiers.
 Tt is my impression" said George B. Tarrant, federal director of empioy- ment for Alabama, that the advertis- ing directors of all the large advertls- CTS of the Birmingham district will be glad to embrace this oportunity to render some service in the direction of getting jobs for the returned s5l- ulehs' by the simple insertion in their advertising copy of some catchy line that will attract the attention of the public to the fact that hundreds of our noble young men are now without jobs these advertising writers will be doirr something that is distinctly of service both to their employers and to the community.
 Tn the larger cities of the north the employers have realized the danger of continued unemployment on the mo- rale of the returned soldiers. They realize that unemployment for anyone IS positive economic handicap for the entire community and the greatest minds of the country are devoting their thoughts to alleviating if pos siole, the existing conditions of un- employment for the men who made the world safe to live in.
 Bolshevism must be ~radicated as a source of danger to American institu tlons, and this can only be done through lucrative employment and keeping the workers satisfied. Surely the bloody fields of Europe presents an object lesson to all of those who care to study the situation"

 RISE MORNINGS But Meritone Banished Tired, Worn-Out Feeling.
 Like New Now

One bottle of Meritone did me more good than any other medicine," said Mrs Mary Arledge, of 90S Union street, Chat tanooga, Tenn.
 T was so nervous that I dreaded to go to bed at night because I knew 1 wouldn't be able to sleep. I'd just toss and roll and in mornings I'd be so tired out I could hardly get up. T feel like a new person since taking Meritone. The nervousness is entirely gone and I sleep soundly all through the night now"
 Meritone is excellent for nervousness, sleeplessness, stomach, liver or kidney trouble or catarrh.
 Meritone is being specially introduced in Birmingham at the Norton drug store and the Jacobs drug store and is sold in Ensley at the Berney drug store and in Bessemer by the Pegram-Patton Drug Co.-Adv.

TIME TO TAKE SPRING MEDICINE

Now is the time to take spring tonic.
the home brewed kind. pleasant to take
and In strict compliance with the eth
les of a bone-dry state" says Prof
Inga M. X. Allison of the Colorado Ag-
ricultural College. "The formula is
simple. Eat abundance OF fruits and
vegetables. both raw and cooked.
Liberal use Of green stuff such as
lettuce. celery. onions. cabbage. and OF
the fresh fruits available is the best
single preventative OF that tired out
feeling that we call "spring fever
Some fresh fruits and vegetables should
have a place in the meal plans every
day. The winter diet is apt to mean
curtailed use of dairy products and eggs.
and of bulky fruits and vegetables. Ade-
quate use of these foods keeps the blood
as 1t ought to be and the whole body

not approved by the Treasury Depart
ment. While those in charge are SELL
ing stamps will do everything possible
to encourage individuals to- purchase
them, the Treasury wants the purpose
to be a free will action on the part OF
the individual because The is convinced
OF its benefit to him. The Treasury Of
ficials point out that where employers
have paid their help In part in thrift
stamps. many OF the workers regarded
1t as an actual reduction in wages, still
others although they wished the stamps.
nevertheless regarded payment of wages
In other than money as an unwarrant-

the wages scale. Others, resenting the
practice. did not save the stamps and
simply resold them. SO that no lesson
OF thrift was taught and the govern
