 ton. "We called up Colonel Weaklev.
 and asked what he would charge. The reply was quick and sharp: Nothing at
 all We then called up the Birming-
 ham Railway, Light and Power com
 pany for a special car to bring the
 boys into town. Again we asked Mr. Underwood for charges His reply was. The chances are it will be nothing at all, but the car will be there, and don't worry about the cost
 Next someone suggested we should give the members of the Boys Indus- trial School band their dinners, as they would parade in the afternoon ana at night We called up Arthur Green wood. who has just been discharycs as sergeant in the national army, MT. Greenwood at once said: Great bring the boys in when ready for SUD- per. I'll feed them the best in the house and there is nothing to pay. And if the boys will play the Madelon' they will get double portions That's how the service men are co-opera tine with each other.
 50 far we have found it extremely difficult to pay for anything. The newspapers carry our news to the ex- clusion perhaps of more important items, and with all this flow of kind ness and sympathy the boys can't help but feel enthusiastic at being amongst real home folks"

The New Root and Herd Medicine, Dreco, Causing Much Talk Since It's h.
 troduction in Alabama

T prepared breakfast for the family yesterday, then cleaned up everything and swept the house which is the first time I've been able to do such a thing in years" declared Mrs. L. M. Dewitte of S519 Avenue G. South, Birmingham. Ala, who IS the wife of the we'll known Southern railway car man.
 T have suffered from bad stomach trouble. No matter how careful I was about my food it disagreed with me and gas bloated me up, aching pains would strike me in my lower bowels, and I felt like there was big lump in my throat which I could neither swallow nor spit out. I was badly constipated and had to take some kind of medicine every night for the trouble. It wasn't long till my kidneys began to bother me and I had awful backaches. AL though I've taken much medicine and never seemed to fit my particular case.
 Every day I read in the papers about what Dreco was doing for people suffering exactly like myself, so I got my husband to buy a bottle for me. believe the first dose helped. for, my stomach seemed to feel so much easier. I took it regularly by directions and today I hardly recognize my own self, for I feel so much better The con- stipation is entirely relieved; I never have bachache; my appetite is good, and l eat anything I want and never have the gas nor pains in my stomach. My nerves are quieted and sleep fine and gaining back my weight every day. There is nothing too good for me to say about Dreco."
 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 in Bessemer by the Fulton Drug company; in Fairfield by Halls pharmacy; in Wylam by the Central pharmacy.-Adv.

TO ELECT OFFICERS

Congressman Burnett was hastily re- minded that the world war veterans of Jefferson county were not society but terlies, but represented all classes and cree6s, and that he would be welcomed as an orator if he came in his shirt sleeves.
 w C. Davis stated he would con- fine his talk to the powers to be de- rived from a closely knitted organiza- tion.
 Othen than the speakers the principal event of the evening will be the elec- tion of officers. It will be remembered that the last meeting of the world war veterans saw an incomplete organiza- tion, as only five trustees were non- mated and elected. Tonight, however, it is planned to elect a president, two vice presidents and a secretary and treasurer.
 It is in the election of officers tnde adherents of various political factions throughout the county are looking for ward to warking their influence felt.
 Ii developed yesterday that various political forces were grooming candi- dates for the election tonight. It is possible that sadherents of the various forces will be on hand to watch the men who made the world safe for de- mocracy at work.
