Washington, d. G., Oct president
Wilson, whose condition has been i'm
proving steadily for several days, and re-
gained so much strength to-day that his
physicians seemed hopeful that the
worst period of his illness had been
passed.
They still indicated there was a pos.

sisted that he remain in bed. They
thought it might be several days before
he could give any attention to official
business and much longer before he
would be able fully to resume his duties.

 After all that has been said as to the other needs of the state, know that can confidently appeal for the educa~ tion of our children in the free public schools of this state which stands upper most in our minds and our hearts The people of this state have shown that they are determined to demolish every ob- stacle, physical moral and financial, that stands in the way of the future edUca- tion of every child of school age in the state. It is in the public schools and in the homes of these children that the foundation of good citizenship and of Christian life are to be laid And built upon.

 TAXES OF MINERAL COUNTIES
 "A great hue and cry is raised about the mineral district being taxed moro heavily than other sections of the state In the aggregate their taxes are larger merely because the mineral district contains the greatest propor- tional part of the wealth of the state, and it should be taxed accordingly The mineral district should be happy in the possession of such great wealth and happy in it's ability to pay the taxes Is there a county in Alabama that would not gladly take over the or any of the mineral counties and pay these taxes cheerfully and render hearty thanks for the privilege? The question needs no answer.
 These taxes are just and reasonable and will not burden any man or any business. They are necessary If the state is to take care of it's obligations; not merely its pecuniary obligations. but the obligation of the state to the ClIlHenS OL the Sldle, tO tue tHlAQTSu of. the state. to the insane. to the mental delinquents to the moral je- linquents, the lame. the halt and the blind There may be some inclined to criticize the results of past efforts 5f the state government to perform these functions. and I am endeavoring to show that the new measures being taker to coordinate and economize the performance of these functions give reassurance that the tax collected from the people shall be intelligently fairly and economically expended.
 If these taxes are not levied the ap- propriations for all schools for old sol diers. for the care of the insane, the deaf, the dumb, the blind. the mental and moral delinquents, for public health for good roads and all other worthy ob- jects must be cut to pieces.

 Some of them flew on down Twen- tieth street to Tenth avenue where James Weatherby, former city com missioner, made his home.
 Quite recently one landed on the Ridge Park hill just off Five Points and gave Judge $. D. Weakley an other severe sting with one senatorial virus attached.
 Mercer Barnett just across the street was stung so severely that he became president of the Jefferson Protective league in the late Congressional cam paisn' He has not been stung so hard since.

 No. 14 The home of Judge w. P. McCrossin. Judge Mac" used to be on the bench, but the slight rise in the ground in front of his house pro- tected him from the political in- sect so that he was never seriously stung.
 No. 15. The home of Gov W. H. Sims, former lieutenant governor of Mississippi and of his son, H. U. Sims, former president of the Ala bama Bar association.
 No. Is. The home of the venerable and beloved Gen. E. w. Fucker Gen eral Fucker is another man who never sought office for himself but in the years past he has had as much to do with helping others to get office as the next one
 No. IT, The former home of the late Joseph F. Johnston, governor of Alabama and United States senator and now the home of his son, ForIiey Johnston. The son has not yet been infected so far as his own pefsonal am- bilious are concerned. But he got enough of that mountain gap virus in his system to make him q power full factor in recent years in state political campaigns.
 No. IS. Until very recently the home of John B. Weakley. MT. Weakley's infection did not extend beyond pe- riod in the legislature, but the moun- tain gap virus has made him wise politically so that he keeps in close touch with what is going on.
 No 19 The home of F. c. Chandler. 'Iige' is another man who never is mighty wise politically and has in past years been able to give office seekers some nightly good advice.
 No. 20. For a long time w. D. Jelks, former governor of Alabama, lived on this corner. He got his poli- tical bee sting originally in South Alabama, but the breezes through the gap waited the little insects in his direction to such an extent that he always knew what was going on in state politics
 Another man who lives on this cor ner is Judge Romaine Boyd of the Jefferson county circuit court, long interested in city and county politics, who has made such an enviable rec ord that he can keep his job as long he wants it.
 On this corner also lives R. H. Thach, for many years city attorney and active in general politics

WOMEN DOING WAR WORK

During the war women were called in
to almost every vocation in life, and right
well did they assume the responsibilities
and filled such positions. IN many in
stances, however, their strength has been
oyertaxed, and such ailments as are pc
culiar to their sex have fastened them
selves upon them. Such women should
remember there is tried and true rem
edy for their troubles in Lydia Z. Pink

more than three generations has been

some of the worst forms of female ills.
