HADN'T ENJOYED
 MEAL IN Z YEARS Fire Fighter Has Big Appe- tite Since Taking Tanlac.
 Gains 20 Pounds

"One of the boys at the fire house put me on to this Tanlac. and I have not only gotten rid of all my troubles, but have gained twenty pounds in weight since l commenced taking It." said Thomas Audley, a popular member of the Kansas City fire dopartment, and stationed at Hose O. No. 4, and whose residence is 3sSs East 18th St, Kansas City, Mo, the other day.
 Before I took Tanlac.'' continued Mr. Audley T can't say that I really rel- ished a single meal I ate for over two years. My appetite was so poor that I seldom ever wanted anything to eat Then, my stomach was in such bad con- diton that what little I did eat would sour on my stomach and make me suf fer like blue blazes for two or three hours after meals. I seldom ever ate my breakfast, and just had to force down what I ate at the other meals in order to keep up my strength. Sometimes after eating I would have terrible pains in the pit of my stomach. and gas would form and bloat me so bad that could hardly get good breath l was badly constipated all the time and suffered constantly with a dull, mean headache, and just felt tired and slug gish all the time. I lost lot in weight and finally got SO weak and run down that I didn't feel very much like work
 q tried about everything l knew or heard of that was recommended for my kind of trouble, but Tanlac is the only thing that has done what they say it will do And Tanlac did it's work mighty well too for it has been several months now, since I stopped taking it., and I haven't the slightest sign of my troubles coming back on me. My appe- tite is simply fine and I not only eat a hearty breakfast every morning, but when the other two meals come on l am right there and ready to eat again, I am never bothered with indigestion now and in fact, my stomach seems to be in perfect condition, and my food never sours after meals. I have gained a great deal in weight and feel as well and strong as I ever did in my life. Tanac Is the best medicine I ever got my hands on and l am more than glad to take advantage of this opportunity to recommend it to everyboy''
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham by Flu gene Jacobs drug store and Patton Pope drug company. and by the leading druggists in practically every city, town and village in America--Adv.

N FRIEND of mine-one of those | AA people described by Keats as be- ing married to a romance and given away by a sonnet"-said to me a few days ago when I mentioned that I was going to have the pleasure of writ ing a story about Dr. John Charles Daw- son, dean and professor of romance lan- guages, at Howard college;
 You have a rare treat in store for you, for to my way of thinking there is not more cultured man in the south today than Dr. Dawson; but tell it not in Gath; whisper it softly he is the
 most modest man in the world about his intellectual attainments, and if you can get him to talk about his accomplish ments, you'n be the first person who has ever succeeded in doing so" This rather disarmed me- and yet at the same time put me "on my mettle," for there's no greater incentive to suc- ceed at a certain thing than to know that some one else has failed at the same game, and so, armed ~cap-a-pie went forth to meet Dr. Dawson
 Now, of course, I'm not boasting: far be it from me to do that sort of thing, and I'm not trying to lord it over" any body, but I must say this, that I've never met more "ihterviewable" person in all my newspaper career, one more gra- cious in dividing his vast store of knowl- edge, his culture and his wide experi- ences, than this delightful gentleman whose mind is like an exquisite book of ''colored pictures leach picture revealing a harmony of unspeakahle splendors, of ebullient joy. with no page slurred over, for each has received his minute at tention, his best thought, and his high est consideration.
 Whether it be to France, whither Dr. Dawson iourneyed last February being invited by the Young Mems Christian as- sociation to assist in their educational assigned to Toulouse university where he had the pleasure of visiting southern France-seeing it's sanctuaries, it's sanita- ton, marching with it's armies, talking with it's flower-vendors, visiting it's aris- tocratic chateaux, and returning, laden with invisible imports of precious facts or yet whether, within the four walls of the school rooms of Howard college, where he expounds his vast knowledge so gracefully to the large number of stu dents under his care, teaching them to speak the Romance Languages" as Hamlet suggested .trippingly the tongue" Dr. Dawson always gives the same careful, earnest thought-thus gath ering about him life's best, and highest
 literary gifts.
 Although Dr. Dawson has been con- nected with Howard college since 1903 "Acting President during the interim of Dr. Shelburnes resignation in Sep tember; 1917. to February, 191S-I have somehow missed the pleasure of his ac- quaintance and while we talked of his experiences in college life at Howard yet it was to Sunny France" he trans ported me by the potent power of his recital, where for four months during the past year he had delightful entree

China Left in the Lurch

huang-Il NAY, m tne ReVltW.
 It is well to remember that China joined the war on the allied side at the invitation of America. the nation always considered as her most trusted friend, With the help of America at the peace table, China felt pretty sure of the chance to repudiate the pretensions of Japan. No doubt President Wilson and the other American delegates did their best to stand by China, but the circum- stances and necessity which accounted for their final yielding can not be fully appreciated by the Chinese. Mortals as they are. the Chinese naturally feel some sort of embarrassment and discomfiture towards a friend who seems to have left them in the lurch.

67HE Gulf division is pleased to au,


 nounce the inception of plan by
 N which the public health nursing activities of the Red Cross chapters in Alabama. win be organized and super yised by the director of the public health nursing bureau of the state board of health, says the Red Cross Bulletin.
 This coordination of interests was made possible by the establishment some months ago of a public health nursing bureau in connection with the state board of health of Alabama, under the direc- ton of Miss Jessie L. Mariner. R. N, formerly with the childrens bureau un- der the department of labor.
 Miss Mariner, who thus comes into the Gulf division family as a member of the staff is well equipped both by education and experience for the double responsibility which she has assumed. The state board of health will continue to carry the salary and travelling ex penses connected with this work and the Red Cross will benefit further by the services of any field nurses who may be added to the state staff. The Red Cross assumes certain headquarters expenses coming under the head of cleri- cal assistants and office equipment
 Mrs Engblads director or public health nursing service for Gulf division, is look ing for the best possible results from this combination of forces and quotes with much satisfaction. the following from recent correspondence with Dr. S. w. Welch, state health officer Of Ala hama:
 T am quite confident that an of our z,3ans will work out to our mutual sads- faction. I have always found a way to do everything that was right and I am thoroughly convinced that this is right and proper" Miss Elizabeth c. Fox, acting director of public health nurs- Ing, on being appraised of the co-opera- ion effected, wrote Miss Elizabeth L.

PRESIDENT MARSTON'S METHOD

l IeI<k0lOC4Nl Ul1tho O4N C tkOO
 Apparently President Marston of the Texas and Pacific Coal and Oil com pany has worked out a method where- by there may be dealings in the stock or his company perfected in such man ner as to make it impossible for the government to enact an excess for the tax. This tax is already bearing heavily upon many corporations Some of them presumably will soon be com pelled to seek fresh capital since the government has taken so much in the way of excess profits as to make 1t inn possible to pay for improvements and expansions out of earnings and leave a safe surplus.
 The oil industry some features of which have recently been made public. is likely to assume first place. surpass- ing the steel industry at least far imm ediate growth is concerned It has been said that the capital and fund ed debt of the various corporations are likely to be found within the course of a year or two to be in excess of the capital and funded debt of the American railroads When it is borne in mind that the Standard Oil industry alone represents two billion five hundred mill lion or almost exactly what the United States Steel Corporation represents then it would appear all the more likely that the oil industry is to take first rank even surpa ssing steel.

You Can Clear

Removes Tan, Sunburn, Liver Spots, Freckles shd Other
 Skin Blemishes.
By Use of Well-Known Toi-
 let Preparation.

Some people dislike to use face pow ders, creams or rouge, but they cannot suffer the embarrassment of a dark, sallow, blotchy, pimply skin. They therefore resort to cosmetics to hide their facial blemishes, little realizing that the longer their use is continued. the more aggravated the trouble be- comes.
 If you want to clear your complexion and remove those skin blemishes which cause you embarrassment. you should use the Black and White Beauty treat ment at bedtime, cleansing your face in the morning. Go to your druggist and ask him for 25 cent package of Black and White Ointment and jar or tube of pure, white vaseline. Black and White Soap is a splendid aid to the treatment
