THIN, NERVOUS FOLKS SHOULD
 TAKE BITR0-
 PHOSPHATE
Women Need It To Bring Pink Gio" or Health to Pale Cheeks and Fore stall TeII-TaIe Lines of Ase' Men Need It To Make Strong,
 Vigorous Bodies and
 Steady Nerves.

Weak, thin people-men or women are nearly always nervous wrecks; thus conclusively proving that th1nness' weakness, debility and neurasthenla are almost invariably due to nerve starvation. Feed your nerves and all these symptoms due to nerve starva- tion will disappear.
 Eminent specialists state that the best nerve food is an organic phosphate known among druggists as Bitro-Phos- phate, five-grain tablet of which should be taken with each meal. Being a genuine nerve builder and not sum ulant or habit-forming drug, Bltro- Phosphate can be safely taken by the weakest and most delicate sufferer, and the results following its use are oL.en simply astonishing.
 Weak, tired people regain strength and yigor; thinneSs and angularity give way to plumpneSs and curves; sleep returns to the sleepless; confidence and cheerfulness replace debility and pale, sunken cheeks regain the pink glow of health. Bitro-Ph oSphate, the use of which is inexpensive also won- derfully promotes the assimilation of food so much so that many people re- port marked gains of weight in few weeks It is sold by Letaws pharmacy in Birmingham and all good druggists.
 ~CAUTION: - Although bitro-phos- phate is unsurpassed for relieving weakness, it should not, owing to it's remarkable flesh growing properties, be used by anyone who does not desire to put on fleSh.-AdV.

WORDS FAIL ID EXP RESS
 MY GRATITUDE"
''The Lord Knows Dreco Has Done Me More Good Than Anything I Ever Took" Says Phoenix City, .Ala., Lady

"As long as I live I'll praise this grand medicine Dreeo and the Lord knows it has done me more good than any medicine I ever took," are the words of Mrs. Carrie Parish of Thir- teenth street, Phoenix City, Ala, in signed statement. Mrs Parish is S5 years old.
 'I used to have to get up during the night every hour, some etimes every lo minutes to relieve my bladder and kid neys One bottle of Dreco helped me so that I only get up twice during the whole night My bowels also move reg ularly. and my liver acts well. Words fail to express my gratitude to this grand medicine. I'll pdaise it as long as live, and will keep it in my house as long as have the money to buy it. Anyone want ing to know more about this can call on me at my home and I'll tell them more."
 Dreco is a vegetable remedy which acts on the kidneys and aids these im- portant organs to perform their duty of straining the poisons from the blood. The entire quantity of blood circu- lates through the kidneys every four minutes and as it passes through the impurities are filtered out. If the kidneys fail in their work we may have rheumatism, catarrh, eczema, boils, pimples,. sallow complexion or dozen other troubles. Dreco aids tho kidneys to keep on doing their work as nature intends.
 All good druggists now sell Dreco and it is highly recommended in Bir- mingham by Jacobs Pharmacy.
 Dr Tharp, the well known Dreco ex- pert. has headquarters at Jacobs Phar- macy, to meet the local public and ex- plain the merits of this great remedy See him today. Dreco is also sold ir Bessemer by the Fulton Drug Co.,: 1T Fairfield by Halls Pharmacy; in Wy lam by the Central Rharmacy.-Adv.

FLOATING MINES
 STILL A MENACE
 IN DARDANELLES
Greatest Precautions Must Also Be Taken by Ships
 on the Black Sea
By AssucIatsd Press

Constantinople, March 9.-Floatfng mines in the Dardanelles and Sea of Marmora stiu constitute great danger to navigation. Several ships have been lost since the armistice through mine explosions The armistice required Turkey to indicate all mines, but it has not been possible in all cases to give their exact position. Mine sweepers have been at work for sometime but naval authorities say it will be many months before vessels can proceed through the straits with safety. No navigation is permitted at night. on messenger vessels lifeboat drills are held regularly, just as in days when submarines menaced the seas.
 Even in the broad stretches or the Aegean sea the greatest precautions are taken against floating mines Tn certain areas passengers are required to wear life preservers and narrow lanes of travel have been marked out for pilots to follow.
 But it is in the Black sea that the greatest danger exists. Not only are there numerous floating mines there, but extensive unmarked mine fields laid indiscriminately by the Germans, Russians and bolsheviki They are a constant menace to shipping. me steamer bearing the American Red Cross mission to Rumania narrowly missed a floating mine while proceed ing to Constanza. Often these mines are carried down by the swift cur rent in the Bosphorous straits to the Sea of Marmora where they are an ever-present danger to the hundreds of naval and merchant vessels.
 Naval authorities say it will be sew eral wears before the waters of Europe are entirely free of floating mines Many of the German mines destroyed by allied trawlers were found to have been moored by rope When the rope rntted the mines broke from their an chorage and drifted in many cases tc the main line of steamer travel.

SMITH DETAINED BY !. LABOR FEDERATION

The movement to oust George D. Smith as secretary of the Arizona State Federation of Labor failed with the counting of the ballots for and against the recall, according to the statement of T. J. Croaff, presi- dent of the federation.
 A very light vote was cast, said Croaff, slightly more than 1000 Oal- lots being counted. Smith was con- firmed in his position by majority of 250. The normal vote of the un- ions affiliated with the state feder- ation runs from 5000 to 4000, said the president.
 The movement to recall Smith was launched by the carpenters and cooks and walters unions of Phoe- nix and the typographical union of Globe. The charge was made that the secretary had used the pages of the Arizona Labor Journal, the fed eration's official organ, to preach the doctrines of industrial unionism, as against craft unionism. This, said CToaff, was an outgrowth of Smiths report on the Mooney defense meet ing at Chicago.

COPPER PRODUCERS MEET SITUATION
 IN BEST WAY
CurtaiIment Is Being Effected With Least Hardship to Old Employees; Faith in Future Copper Market Un- shaken.

Without a doubt many of the cop per producers in the country would make money by closing down; this, however, would cause great hardship among the men who have been in their employ for long time, who have been encouraged to build their own homes, and would throw large num- Der of men out of employment, thus greatly disturbing the industrial sit uation of the country at large.
 With the exception of the mines of Jerome, which were closed on account of strike, and which have not re- oopened, and the Shannoon Cooper Go. which went out of business, the mines of Arizona have not closed and have not disturbed the labor situation to any extent. They have had to cur. tail production, as practically no cop per is being sold, and, consequently to cut down their working force, but in doing this have laid off practically all single men.
 With the curtailed production, it has not been pososible to keep on productionall of the men who have been in their employ a sufficient time to have established their homes in the community, and in some cases, as that of the Copper Queen, development work is being done to give these men employment, which, from a financial and economic point of view, is not justified under the present conditions The companies all over the country have agreed to curtail production ill border that the world surplus may not become top heavy, and to allow foI the demand. to catch up to the supply The real seriousness of the large sur plus stock of copper is in the fact that for the most part it was produced | on the maximum basis of cost, with the expectation of realizing 26 cents per pound.

FRANKLIN BOY DIES

Fred Tippetts passed away at his home near Franklin on Wednesday morning of last week after a long ill., ness with Bright's disease. This end was not entirely unexpected, for he had been in state of unconsciousness for a number of days preceding his death, ard had been gradually sink ing for some time
 Fred Tippetts was a young man, 24 years of age, the son of MT. and Mrs. Henry Tippetts, and had made his home in the Duncan valley most of his life. He enlisted in the army when war was declared upon Germany and it was during the term of his enlist ment that he was first taken ill. A year ago he was sent home to recuper- ate. it being thought that he would recover from his illness, but every thlng proved of no avail.

points of obvious superiority for both classes of detection work.
 Lookouts in a very broken coun- try, cut up by deep canyons or where mountain ridges obstruct the view, or in a flat country that affords no good points of vantage, are often unable to pick up all fires quickly by the rising smoke or to locate them accurately. For precise location the system in use depends on triangula- tion through reports telephoned from separate observation points. Air planes would use wireless in report ing fires, as they have done in com municating with the artillery, and would locate fires by coordinates in the same way that gunfire in war is directed to a particular spot or ob- ject.
 From the army standpoint, the use of aircrafe in protecting the na- tional forests affords valuable op- portunity for training fliers and de- veloping further the possibilities of aircraft and the art of flying.

Sunday, May 4, has been designated as Employment Sunday by Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson, in mes sage received by the United States Employment Office of Phoenix. Ac- cording to the announcement all the churches throughout the country will be expected to observe this day in a manner which will aid in the solving of the employment problem in their community.
 The message from Secretary Wilson follows: ....--- "The national church organizations of the country have united in an effort to assist the United States Employ ment Service of the Department of Labor, and cooperating agencies ln finding employment for returning sol diers, sailors and war workers.

ARMY AIRCRAFT ID FIGHT FIRES IN
 NATIONAL FOREST
AirpIanes and Captive Balloons Will Cover Portions of National Forests of CIifornia, Arizona and New Mex ico This Summer.

Albuquerque, N. M., April 21, 1919.-Army airplanes and captive balloons will cover portions of the National. Forests of California, Ari- zona, New Mexico and other states this summer to aid in detecting and suppressing forest fires. In com pliance with an order from Secretary Baker directing the Air Service to cooperate with the Forest Service in this work, conferences are under way to determine where and to what ex- tent the air scouts will supplement the Forest rangers.
 That there is distinct and impor- tant place for aircraft in fire pro- lection of timebrlands is regarded by the forestry officials as beyond doubt, but experimental trial of methods and possibilities will have to be the, first step. This is what is now being planned for the coming bases possessed by the army will be utilized for the experiments. Exam pies of such bases, near enough to National Forests to be used advan. tageously, are the flying fields at San Diego, Riverside and Arcadia in southern California. Other points in the west and in the east are un- der consideration, including one near the White Mountains in New Hamp- shire.
 One of the interesting possibili- ties to be tested is bombing fires to put them out. It is believed that bombs charged with suitable chemi- calls can be used with good results Another plan to be tested is trans. porting fire fighters by dirigibles from which ladders can be lowered to the ground. The chief use of the aircraft this summer, however, will doubtless be for fire detection. At present the Forest Service relies for this partly on patrol, usually by men on horses motorcycles or railroad speeders, and partly on watchers stationed at look out points. Aircraft have many
