ADVERSE REPORT ON NEAR BEER MEASURE
House Temperance Com mittee Reaches Decision After Brooks Lawrence
 Opposes Bill
By WILLIAM l.. GoRMLEy

Montgomery, September 1O.-(special) Beverages that smell like beer taste like beer, but are not beer, will not be sold in Alabama, if the house temper ance committee has it's way.
 This is the decision of the committee following the introduction of a bill in the house by Representative Long of Sumter. prohibitionist. The committee late Wednesday voted to make an ad- verse report on the measure.
 The bill would have permitted the sale of cereal beverages containing not more than one-half of one per cent of alcnool and which are sold in almost every bone dry prohibition state in the union, in- cluding Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Ar kansas and other southern states.
 At a public hearing of the merits of the bill on Tuesday night Brooks Law renee, superintendent of the Alabama anti-saloon league, said that he would place his approval upon such measure if the brewers of America would come down from their throne and admit they had been defeated and whipped. He be- lieved that the measure would place Alabama back in the position she occu- pied in 1907 and 1911, when lively prohi- bition fights were made.
 The bill was approved by the state auditor, Fftzhugh Lee, a strong pro- hibitionist- Governor Kilby intimated he looked with favor upon the meas ure. It would have brought into the state treasury approximately s25o.000 in revenue.
 When MT. Lawrence got through with his speech before the committee sev- eral committeeman left the meeting and a quorum was broken, so that the vote could not be taken at that time It was intimated later that the absent mem bers did not care to vote in face | of such strong opposition as Dr. Law renee.
 ! A motion to take the bill from the adverse calendar placing it on the ia vorable calendar, will be made on next l Monday by friends of the bill. There
 was data of this action on Wednes ! day night, but it was decided the mo | ton could not be made because the house was in session for the purpose | of diSpoSing of local bills only

Since Taking Tanlac Mrs. Rollins Feels Better Than
 in Twenty Years

''I am 10 years old and have been in,poor health for a good many years, but since taking Tanlac I feel better in every way than I have in 20 years, said Mrs. M. B. Rollins of 10 West 39th street, Seattle Wash, recently.
 For F years" she continued, T suf- fered constantly from stomach trouble and what I ate caused me so much mis- cry that 1 dreaded to mealtime to come I suffered terribly from rheu- matisnn and sometimes my feet and legs were so badly swollen that I couldn't walk, and my arms would get so stiff and sore that I couldn't use them at all. My nerves were in such an awful condi- ton that the slightest noise would upset me and I could never get good night $ sleep I became so weak and rundown that I gave up and went to bed, where lay five long weeks.
 1T heard so much about Tanlac that I asked my son to get me bottle. and after taking a course of the medicine am perfectly well again. I feel 20 years younger and am strong enough to do all my housework without any trouble. My appetite is fine. I eat anything l want and never suffer any pain afterwards The rheumatism has entirely gone. my nerves are all right and l sleep like a baby every night. The way Tanlac has overcome my trouble and built me up is like miracle. and any medicine tl,at win do that much for person oi my age is worth its weight in gold"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham by Eu- gene Jacobs drug store and Patton pope Drug company, and by the leading Grurgists in practically every city towr and village in America.-Adv.

Time Makes No Mistakes

We have never claimed that S. s. s. was medicine to work wonders, nor one that would cure every physical ailment or disorder. More than fifty years ago it was placed on the market and recommended as a blood purifier, and today, after a long and successful career, and when it's use has become almost universal, only the same honest claim issmade for it. that it will relieve those dis eases and disorders arising from an impoverished condl- tion of the blood. Time makes no mistakes, and the very best recommendation of $. 5. 5. IS the fact that it has stood a long test and is now more gen. orally used than ever before, and has the confidence, we be- lieve, of a greater number ot people than any other blood medicine.
 The blood is the most vital force of life; every organ, nerve, muscle, tissue and sinew of the body is dependent on 1t for nourishment and strength, and as it circulates through the system, pure and rich, it furnishes these different mem bers the healthful properties needed to preserve them and enable them to perform their various duties. So long as the blood remains free from infec- tion we are apt to escape dis ease, but any impurity, humol or poison acts injuriously on the system>and affects the gen. eral health.
 Postular eruptions, pimples rashes and the various skin af- l fections, show that the blood is

 Session Of the Legislature
Ky VIM. l.. GORMLEY


 Montgomery, September 1o.-(Spe- cial)-Believing that the bill violated the constitution and that all courts should be held intact so that the state laws might be enforced, Governor Kill by OH Wednesday vetoed the Parker bill, which abolished the county court of Coosa county. The house, by a large majority, sustained the veto of the chief executive.
 Considerable discussion, during which substitute was offered by Representative Ross of Jefferson coun- ty, resulted when the Dansby bill, amending certain sections of the res istra ton laws of Alabama. was called in the house on Wednesday. The sub stitute was voted down and the Dars- by bill. with minor amendments, was enacted
 Section 13 of the registration laws will provide that the registrar in each county shall visit each election dis trict in each precinct except the coun ty site, al least once, and oftener if necessary, between November 15, 1915. and January l, 1915, and each year thereafter, and shall remain there for at least one day. He is required to 1 sit at the county site from January 1, 1916. to January ,, 1916 and each year thereafter, to register persons en- | titled to vote. Twenty days notice IS | required to be given before sitting to receive registrations. Time consumed l; for the registration shall be no longer than 50 days. except in counties hay ing more than 50,000 population, aud then it shall be so days.
 | Representative Cobbs, of Mobile coun- ty, was successful in getting an amend ment to the bills which provides the registrar shall not sit within 50 days O! an election. Jefferson county is given an election commissioner whose entire time shall be devoted to the work.
 l The Ross substitute would have abol l ished the offices of registrar, giving the duties over to the registrar in chancery l in all counties. When the substitute was 1 lost the author made motion to recon ! sider the vote. This motion also was voted down by large majority. 1 By vote of 66 to l. the house enacted the Waddell bill which is entitled as ! follows: 'gro further provide for the pre- i venton and suppression of diseases and | parasites among cattle, horses mules asses and hogs, such as hog cholera { glanders. cattle fever tick, foot anc mouth disease, and other infectious anc | communicable diseases and parasites by i requiring all railroad cars in which ami malls are transported in Alabama, from ! points within the quarantined area IS de- i fined by the United States department of agriculture or by the state live stock sanitary board. to be cleaned and disin- 1 fected

LOCAL BILLS CLEARED
 ON HOUSE CALENDAR

Montgomery, September 1o-tSpecialD The house calendar of 13o pages was cleared of local bills by 10:So o'clock Wednesday night. There was no oppo- sition to the bills until Representative Jones of Montgomery county sought to bring up general bill providing for prize fighting in the state.
 Mir Jones put in the claim that his bill was local one, and that he was backed by the state constitution in this. Representative Tompkins of Houston county objected, saying it was general measure. A short discussion followed and the Houston representative told the Montgomery representative he would challenge the houses jurisdiction be- cause there was no quorum. This had the desired effect and MT. Jones with drew his motion to consider the prize fighting bill.
 The house. without dissenting vote. passed the Craft bill, which changes the form of government for the city of Mo- bile Two amendments eliminate all ref erence to elections for the expression of the wish of the people. The bill will go back to the senate for approval of the amendments.
