Place of Fat Men in History.

Fat and fame have not very often
been combined, perhaps because stout
men are generally inclined to be easy
going, and therefore lacking in that
push which brings man to the fore,
says London Answers. The only great
statesman one can recall ytho was
really fat man was Charles James
Fox, ms can he seen even by his
effigy in the palace of Westminster
where he would make three of mis-

HARD ON HIM ID GET FROM HOUSE
 ID HIS OWN BARN
Madison County Farmer Had Rheumatism So Bad. With Pains In His Back and Limbs, He Could Barely Get About
IDRECO GAVE RELIEF

T could hardly get about and found it taxed me to get from the house to the barn, and could barely look after my work around the farm" states MT L. R. Berryhill, the well-known farmer of Route 3, Huntsville. Ala.
 T had a bad case of rheumatism which had my joints stiff and muscles sore. My back ached terribly, and kid neys failed to act regularly. My bow els were constipated all the time: stom- ach griped me, had dizzy spells and ca tarrh of the nose and throat
 Tt hardly seems possible that only two bottles of Dreco have done so much for me, after I've been suffering so long and tried so many remedies, but I'm here today a living example of the powers of that wonderful medicine, Dreco. There isn't pain in my body; my joints are supple, muscles free from cry day, no more dizzy spells. and I have a huge appetite. My stomach takes care of all the food I eat, and digests 1t perfectly without causing gas to form. Dreco is truly a wonder full medicine. and strongly urge every person to try it who is weak, pale, run down. or who suffers from a sluggish liver. weak kidneys, poor digestion. constipated bowels, or tired nerves. It won't disappoint."
 The good old fashioned roots, herbs. barks and berries. like our forefathers brewed their teas from, and raised a hardy race of people, are still recog- nized as the remedies for the stomach, liver, kidneys. bowels and blood. Dreco is made from twelve herbal plants, and its action is prompt and pleasant for man. woman and child
 All good druggists now sell Dreco and is highly recommended in Birming- ham by Norton Drug company. Dreco is also sold in Bessemer by the Fulton Drug company, in Fairfield by Halls pharmacy, in Wlam by Central phar- macy.-Adv

 And hills and dales,

 And backness of night,
 Into the radiance
 Of Gods white light. o Mother mine this century long, You've kept your 'scutcheon clean and bright, Secure you've walked unsmrched by wrong, Your aegis geamng thro the night When tempest roared,
 And storm clouds burst,
 And war-god's sword
 A nation cursed. o Alabama! Mother mine, Ten million children breathe this prayer: Grant seed-time, harvest, corn and wine Still rest thee in His sovereign care In all thy ways
