SALVADOR IS BADLY
 IN NEED OF MONEY
And That Must Be Had at Once,
 Minister to U. s. Says

San Francisco, Cal, May 13.-The first and greatest need of the repub- lie of Salvador is money, said Sal vador Sol, new minister of plenipo- tentiary at Washington for that coln- try, who has just arrived from South America. The money is needed at once, according to Minister Sol
 IWenty-f1ve millions of dollars are needed to properly take care of our coHee crop and the government of the republic will not only welcome for elgn capital, but will make every fair tnducement to attract it." he said We are particularly anxious to in crease our commercial relations with the United States.
 The reason that Salvador did not actively enter into the war against Germany was the fact that there was an old clique of politicians favora ble to that country. Since the war that element has been completely elimi- mated. The administration of the country a 5 elected now is entirely in the hands of o-American officials Our president, Jorge Melendez. was educated in the United States and I am one of number of others in Of ffcial positions who have had the same advantages.
 We are particularly anxious for some large banks who can do busi- ness in 8, big way to open up in Sal va.dor. There are two banks of l. capital of half million dollars wi1r have started business but what wc really need is an institution which will have a capital of at least ten mil lions of dollars.
 Any man who has capital, say about $10,000, will find excellent op- portunities for investment which. with work and care, will bring him returns well worth while. I should strongly advise agalrst any young man who has only his hands and his brain to depend on from going down there.
 "Our coffee before the war was consumed in France, Italy, Germany and England. Now Germany is elim- mated and the United States is get ting one-half of our crop.

Washington, May 13.--Therc has been some complaint on the part of disabled men who file their applica- tion for re-educatiOn with the Federal Board for Vocational Education on account of some delays in obtaining a ruling upon their cases. It must be understood that before the Federal Board can award training the case must first be passed as a "compens- able' one. that is to say, the injuries sustained by the applicant must be at least ten per cent of a total disa- bility.

Before the treatment ready prepared. offered to the public, ii was used by prominent physician to re- lieve those conditions caused by impure blood. It was his prescription for blood and rheumatic troubles.

"His House Ln Order''

A popular drama has been written about the idea of a man who be- lieved he was to die on a certain date, and therefore went about setting His house in or der," preparing, so far as he might, for the great event.
 He had not been al good man, nor very cir cumspect in his dealing with others. He had taken what life offered.
 So he went about pay ing all his debts, right ing every wrong that heI could remember ever to have done, doing ev-| cry good deed he could think of; and then, the| time appointed having arrived, he awaited hisI end.
 But he did not die!
 Now, the denouementI of this very human tale is, that he had fallen sol in love with his new manner of life, in the short time he had tried it, that he never after wards forsook it.
 When any man goesI to set His house in or der," one of the first first things he VIII at- tend to, of course, is the life insurance policy he realizes he ought to be carrying.
 Knowing the impor- tance of this, and the necessity to have the| most efficient and care-l full service to be had in Birmingham, he will therefore come to Trust tees System Insurance, Agency, 2024 First Ave- nue, to have this policy written.
