5HE HAD SUFFERED
 FOR 29 LONG YEARS
Mrs. Clarkson Had Rheuma- tism So Bad She Often
 Cried All Night

My gain of 30 pounds in weight dur ing the past few weeks just speaks vol unes for Tanlac," said Mrs. Catherine Clarkson, residing at 24i0 College St., Kansas City, Mo. recently.
 There has been such a pronounced change in my condition" she continued.
 that my friends readily notice it and speak of it. Of course, I think my in crease in weight is wonderful, and l am proud of it, but the benefit I appre- ciate most is my relief from suffering. 1 have been victim of rheumatism for 29 years, and only those afflicted the same way can know the agony I suffered. During damp weather and just before rain sharp pains would shoot all through my body, but it was in my knees I suf- fered most My right knee especially, has been so swollen, stiff and painful during the past two years that l could not bend it. ] had to have a steel brace made to fit this knee so I could walk around The fragments and leaders were drawn until my knee was out of shape, and I have cried all night long many a night with pain I have often thought my rheumatism was caused by constipa- ton, as I have always been troubled more or less in this way, having to take something constantly. I also lost weight and my general health became very bad, and while just tried everything nothing gave me any relief.
 "One day I read a statement made by a lady living on Prospect avenue, tell ing how Tanlac had relieved her of rheu- matism, so I began taking the medicine myself I am just now on my fifth bot tie and considering the length of time I have suffered, the results have been remarkable. The rheumatic pains have disappeared almost entirely, and do be- leve Tanlac is going to clear my sys- tenn of it altogether. I have been told that my right knee would never be any better. but I can bend it some already, and the pain is entirely gone I have also been relieved of constipation, my ap- petite is fine, and I am feeling better in every respect than I have in many years. So I don't feel that l could say enough in praise of Tanlac. It certainly is grand medicine"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham by Eu- gene Jacobs drug store and Patton Pope Drug company, and by the leading druggists in practically every city, town and village in America.-Adv.

 The Merchants association was or ganized in April. 1913. with George Rutledge as president and W. Gum as secretary treasurer. During the early period of the Board of Trade much publicity was given Bessemer and the entire district, during which time the State Farmers convention vas entertained, as was also the State Press association
 The policy of the Board of Trade is to foster and encourage home trading rather than mail ordering; to make the farmers feel at home, and to locate in dustries in the district. Among the first industries locating here through the agency of the Board of Trade was the Jefferson Fertilizer plant, follow ing close to this was the determination in having the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad come into the city, Other industries following were the smith Manufacturing company, which has been taken over by the Bessemer Foundry and Machine company; the Ragan Stove and Foundry company, transferred to the National Steel Prod ucts company; the Superior Manufac- turing company making soil pipe and fittings; the American Tar Products company; the Cotton Seed Oil Mill; the Turnerized Roofing company; the Ben zol plant the completion of Lock IT on the Warrior river, and the very much appreciated commodious freight and passenger depots by the Southern and Alabama Great Southern railroads as well as the up-to-date Louisville and Nashville depot.
 The object is still to continue to agi- tate better court facilities, better road ways and the canalization of Valley creek. This has been live subjec from almost the incipiency of the Board of Trade.

 Henry H. Cobb, special agent of the New York Life Insurance company, has written so much insurance in BIr- min gham until the numbers on the pol icies he writes are big as the line or figures on a Liberty Bond. and he is known far and wide as a special friend to widows and orphans. He does not think any more of a failure to get mans name on the dotted line than he does his right eye, consequently he produced over s500000 worth of bust ness in 1918.
 Henry is known to kiwanis as q brave of unusual merit. He is for Xii wanis early and late, and when he misses a meeting a general alarm goes out, for the gang knows that some thing has happened that will increase the income of some doctor. He came to Birmingham from Anniston, and $ not ashamed to admit it. even after ne lived in Atlanta. He owns an automo- bile. but don't know how to drive it. He has a rainbow silk shirt, too, but where it got that name he does not want made public. Henry recently made a trip to Montgomery with the kiwanis club, when Governor Kilby was inaugurated, but he got the wrong friend in his car, and had a quieter trip than he at first anticipated
 Henry believes in working, and when he was assigned to a team in the recent war work drives to solicit subscrlp- tions the fellow on his team who did not want to work found it hard to get along with him. One of~his main as- sets is keeping quiet--he never has anything to say unless he has a huncn that the man he is talking to is going to live a thousand years and is able to pay a healthy life insurance prem- ium for all those years. With Kiwan- ians he is a general favorite.

DWELLINGS DESTROYED

Three dwelling houses at 1515, 151S and 1520 Twelfth street were entire 1y destroyed by fire early Saturday morning about o'clock. The houses were owned by H, 0. McWhorter and the loss was estimated at $7500, with in- surance amounting to s2400. The fire department was unable to do effective work on account of the low pressure and the distance from fire plug. They were further prevented from exiting uishing the fire by the Southern train cutting the hose after being laid the length of 2000 feet. No one was in jured and much of the personal effects of the tenants were saved.

MILK, THE WONDER FOOD

beverage-it is MOTHER NATURES wonder food All the food elements are present; some produce bone and muscle; some give energy; some rebuild the body. Deprive a child of milk and he will never be the healthy, husky young ster that he has a right to be. MORE MILK MEANS LESS MEAT
 MILK is equal to meal consisting of meat and eggs, sugar and cereals, oil and fats, together with salt and water; in reality it is liquid meat and eggs and vegetables put up by Nature in the form of delicious drink
 FOOD VALUE
 A quart of milk is equal in food value to three-fourths pound of round steak or to eight eggs. Steak at 40c pound is equal to milk at soc per quart; eggs at 40c per dozen is equal to one quart of milk at 28c per quart.
 USE MORE MILK
 It is cheap; it is nutritious; it is easily digested. Give your children milk A quart day for every child if possible pint without fail.
 Reasons why you should demand our "CLOVERFIELD" clarified and Pas teurized milk:
 1. It is obtained from selected herds of well attended, we'll fed dairy cows, and runs high in food value.
 ?. It is handled in our modern and sanitary plant, where it is CLARIFIED by SHARLES SUPER-CLARIFIER which removes any sediment or bacteria that may turk in it.
