Against Pact. u

Washington, March 4.-Thirty-seven
senator's who will be members Of the
next senate have signed a resolution
pledging themselves to vote against

sions. They are:
1. Demand for immediate peace
with Germany and the putting aside
of all other issues until the terms of
peace have been concluded.
2. Notice to the world and to the
powers gathered at the peace confer
ence that more than one-third of the
membership of the United States

president FORCES
PASSAGE OF LOAN
Senators Are Routed From Their
Beds to Vote.
BILL VOTED AT SIX O'CLOCK
Soions Awakened by Deputies to Bal
lot for Victory Loan Before
Breakfast, After the Republic
an FiIibuster Had Failed.

Washington, March 3.-In the early
hours Sunday morning the Republican
kiibuSter in the senate against the
Victory loan bill collapsed like bub-
Vie blown by the wind, and the bill
was passed without a roll call. The
Ball authorized the secretary of the
treasury to issue $7,000,O00,000 in
bonds and certificates and to fix the
rate of interest on the same.
The passage Of the bill by the SEN
ate and the defeat of the filibuster is
distinct victory for President Will
sOI in that he will not be forced to call
the Sixty-sixth congress in extra SEES
sion until after his return from Eu-
rope. Secretary Glass had Informed
administration senators that he would
be unable to float the Victory loan il
the bill were not passed before April 1.
G. O. p. Fears Political Results.
Republicans who undertook a fiji
buster against the bill realized that
If they could bring about the defeat
OF the measure they might compel
the president to call congress in SEES
sion this month. The president does
not appear to desire that the Repub-
Hcan congress be in session to talk
about what he is doing while he is
in Europe.
So the president has had his way,
not SO much on account of the sup
port Of his own party as by the creepy
fear which came over the Republicans
as they began to realize what defeat
of the VictOTy loan bill would mean
to their party The leaders among the
Republican senators, those with vi
sion broad enough 10 see what enormi-
ties would be charged to them if the
bond bill failed, counseled the little
filibustering group 10 "lay OFF, and al
low the bill to pass.

far greater importance than the pleas

blow up.
Senators La Toilette of Wisconsin
and Sherman of Illinois tried to carry
on filibuster all by themselves, but
after talking themselves out and find
ing no one willing TO assist them they
gave up and allowed the bill to pass.
Senators Routed From Bed.
IT was 6:1S when the final vote on
the. bill was taken. At the time the
vote was ordered there were only nine
senator's in the chamber. seven Repub-
IicanS and two Democrats.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania de-
manded the presence of quorum.
Soon deputies of the sergeant-at-arms
Office were scurrying about the city
in taxis routing tired senator's out of
their beds and forcing them to go to
the capitol. Within an hour or two
they succeeded in rounding up enough
to make quorum.

 VERY PREVALENT Auto -Intoxication, or Slow Self-P Poisoning, Cause of Most III Health and
 Disease

Advanced medical authorities assert that auto-intoxication is the foundation of most of the ills and diseases to which the human flesh is heir.
 This condition is nothing more nor less than the slow self poisoning of the vital organs produced by the excessive mental and physical strain which we are forced
 to endure, which renders the organs lame and inactive, and permits toxins, actual
 poisons to be generated within ones
 own body.
 Usually the trouble starts in the intes-
 tines sometimes it starts in the stomach,
 liver, or kidneys, but in any case the
 blame lies with the faulty method of liv
 ing, and may be traced to over eating,
 excessive nervous strain, lack of exer-
 else, or other causes. At any rate, it is
 the more important organs that suffer
 the final damage and when they falter
 or fail in their duties the body fills up
 with acids and poisons, and the victim
 often yields to their baneful influences. Bright's disease, heart trouble, high blood pressure, catarrhal affections, and other troubles are frequently the result of self poisoning or auto-intoxication. A tired, draggy feeling of the body, a sluggish mind and dull memory, intense nervousness, headache, stomach and bowel troubles poor circulation, imperfect digestion, constipation and despondency are common symptoms of auto-intoxica- tion, and nine out of every ten of the American people are likely to be so af- fected.
 Tanlac the powerful reconstructive and systemic tonic, was designed especially 1 to overcome these very troubles. There l is not single portion of the body that | is not benefited by the Helpful work of | this celebrated preparation, which be- gins it's action by stimulating the diges- 1 tive and assimilative organs, thereby en- riching the blood and invigorating the entire system Composed of the most | beneficial roots and herbs known tc 1 science, it enables the stomach to thor oughly digest the food, thereby permit | ting the assimilable products to be con- verted into blood, bone and muscle. Il overcomes that great exciting cause of disease, weakness. It renders the body vigorous and elastic, it keeps the mint clear and energetic, and throws off the symptoms of nervousness and indiges- ! tion. It builds up the constitution weak ened by disease or mental and physical l overwork, quickens convalescence of the invalid and is a sure and unfailing source of comfort to those who are suffering l from the effects of nervousness ant overwork.
 That Tanlac does these very things i. ] proven by the fact that it now has the | largest sale of any tonic on the Amer l ican market. Millions have used it witt the most astonishing and gratifying re- suits. r 1 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham by Flu gene Jacobs drug store and Patton 1 Pope Drug company, and by the leading
 druggists in practically every city, towr
 and village in America.-Adv.

TRIP TO FAIRYLAND

"A Trip to Story Book Land" the op- eretta given at the High school audi torium Friday evening, under the au- spices of the Pastors Helpers circle,
 No. 1, was both an artistic and financial success. The opening scene showed Mrs. c. l.. Hart telling a bedtime story to
 her granddaughter. Bebe Jop Hollings-
 worth who falls asleep and is stolen by
 tNe fairies, who made very effective entrance down the aisle of the auditorium singing the Story Book Ball"
 The curtain then rlees on gorgeous spectacle of beautiful flowers and fairies
 singing ITO Market, to Market The Queen of Hearts, Miss Alberta Davidson,
 then commands the fairies to frolic and play as a mortal chile is being brought
 to them. The chorus then sings, "The Long Lost Child Is Found and the child enters borne on the shoulders of
 two fairies and driving six others with
 reins of ribbons and bells, and is crowned
 queen of the fairies by King Cole (B. l.. Mchealson). Please Fairy Queen, may
 We Come to Your Party" was beautiful
 ly sung by the chorus while the fairy queen danced.
 Too much cannot be said of the beauty, self possession and grace of little Miss Hollingsworth. There were several num- bers introducing Mother Goose charac- ters, the most comical being "1 he Crooked Man." portrayed very cleverly by Agatha Heinberg. Jovia1 "Old King Cole was exceptionally rendered by B. l.. Michealson and chorus, as was the Queen of Hearts, by Miss Davidson and chorus. Bessemer audiences are al- ways delighted with the dancing of Miss Phyllis Waites who made charming sBo-Peep." Eyes of Black and Eyes of Blue," by King Cole, was well received and 40 delightful minutes ended with the closing chorus medley and the audi ence joined in singing America. The plot was written anc directed by Mrs B. l.. Michealson, and the numbers were all accompanied by Miss Nellie Adams.

UNITED CHARITIES

A meeting for the annual election of officers of the United Charities and the Elizabeth Duncan hospital board was held at the residence of Mrs. E.. M. it;es, this week. All work of the past year was reviewed and found to be most satisfactory
 The officers in the United Charities were reelected as follows: Mrs. E. M Owens, president Mrs. E. H. Lopez, vice president Mrs. F. L. Mitchell, secretary treasurer. The work carried on by the United Charities is supported largely by monthly contributions from the business men of the city and upon suggestion of the president that sufficient funds were in the treasury for relief work during the summer months it was decided to suspend these pledges until October.
 In view of the fact that so many de- mands are being made for war relief work, the discontinuation of these amounts subscribed by the business men was thought advisable. The officers wish to thank the men who have SC generously contributed to the fund. Mrs. F. M Owens has been president of the benevolent society for more than years and under her administration Se poor of the entire city have been cared for during that period.
 The report from the hospital board was most encouraging and the splendid management of this department has been due to the efficiency and business-like methods of the director, Mrs. E. H. Lopez Following the meeting, at which decision was made, improvements in the hospital have been begun. Con- tracts have been let for improvements in the walls, floors and all woodwork from the cellar to the garret, which will make the hospital present most attractive appearance.
 The plans and specifications for the construction of the courthouse in Bes' semer have been prepared and may DC seen at the Birmingham office Of tne board of revenue and also at the office of Architect Harry B. Wheelock in Bir mingham Bids vii be opened at th' Bessemer office June 10, and the con tract will be awarded later
