On June 17th this man gave signed, witnessed statement, as tt how he was improving on Dreco. and or June 4th he gave a second statement also signed and witnessed. He is MT.

 T have been in bad shape from rheu- matism, all crippled My arms, legs knees, elbows and shoulders were sore stiff and extremely painful I had Jumps on elbows and left knee. Many night I could not sleep on account of the in tense suffering. Long ago I quit eat. ing meat, as l was told it made my rheumatism worse.
 My right knee was swollen as big as my head, and was of dark blue color and no one knows how it pained me ] had many doctors call to see me. but none ever helped that knee.
 I take pleasure in publicly stating that Dreco has brought great relief to my sufferings. The swelling in my right knee has gone down very much. I can~now swing my arms by my side; my elbows and ankles are supple, and l can bend them without pain The iuliPS oi iiiy CipO" fti 6OiiS, diu HOW eating meat again. My condition is wonderfully improved, and Dreco did it and I don't hesitate to give it all the credit due"

 Dreco knocks rheuma tism out short ly; relieves catarrh of the head and stomach; makes you sleep soundly and creates a good appetite. As a blood purifier, nothing can equal Dreco It puts stop to boils, eczema and other blood affections.

|SALE OF CHRISTMAS
 1 SEALS PROGRESSING
Report Received at Head quarters Indicate Public
 Interest in Sale

Full support of the Red Cross Christ mas Seal campaign. now in progress throughout the state. is being demon strated daily in the many reports com ing in at state headquarters of the Alabama ti-TuLercuiosis League and virtually all reports indicate that the states allotment in the nation wide campaign for the sale of seals win be eclipsed.
 Foremost of the many reports already made to State Director Philip E. War ner is that of the Rev. E. C. Scott, county chairman for Etowah county, who reported the street sale for the first two days in Gadsden resulted in the disposal of s4O0 of the stamps and health bonds. Rev. Scott stated in his telegraphic report that officials of Ftowah county were expecting suffi- cient support from the people of that vicinity in the present campaign to fi- nance the erection of camp for tuber- culosis patients. The S400 sales were in small dimension and many firms. cor porations and business houses of Gads- den and other towns of the county will render them such assistance in the drive through the purchase of seals.
 Progress is shown in the work of canvassing local houses in the drive in Birmingham and Jefferson county and the Stockham Pipe & Fittings company has underwritten the sale of stamps and health bonds to the extent of $500. These stamps will be disposed to the many employees of the company who desire to assist the Alabama Anti-Tu- berculosis association
 
 Birmingham representative of the county headquarters was accosted by three workmen who each purchased $1 worth of stamps, Indicating the degiee of which the public is backing the movement which has for it's object the elimination of the menace of tubercu- losis.

morning, in which two thousand blue
jackets from the local naval training
station participated.
AS a result of four hours of rioting,
two negroes, James Talbert and Isaac
Doctor, are dead, and thirty-fve ne
groes and eight sailors are in hospitals
The riot began at Charles and Mar
ket Streets, after the wounding of
Isaac Doctor, who is alleged to have
shot bluej jacket.
Many of the riot cases came up in
police court to-day. Several sentences
of $50 fine or thirty days in Jail were
imposed on the charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons. One sailor charged
with melting to riot was turned over
to the naval authorities.
A feature of the riot was that very
few of the white citizens of Charleston
took part.
The riot started at 10 o'clock Satur-
day night, and until 1 o'clock Sunday
morning pistol and rifle shots were
heard all over the city. Shooting gal
leries were raided and rifles taken and

and the naval training camp. The al
legged slayer of Isaac Doctor was ar
rested by the chief of police.
