For the Good of
 the Community

As the turn of the year approaches, some of the underlying industries and energies of the Birmingham district find themselves as follows: Untitled orders of the United States Steel amount to 10,947000 tons, an increase over the previous month of 587000 tons, and an increase over January of 100000 tons
 This means maximum or near maximum of production at iron furnaces and steel mills of the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Company in Bir- mingham.
 Building permits in Birmingham for the first five months of this year aggregated S1, 1,80000O, an increase of 115 per cent over 1919.
 Capital invested in new corporations and in- crease of capital stock of going concerns in Jef- ferson county for the first five months of the year amounted to S10,559000, an increase over 1919 of 235 per cent.
 Birmingham bank clearings in the first five months Of the year reached 2O,6O0 900, an ln- crease for 1919 of 66 per cent.
 While the coal production is restricted on ac- count of car shortage, assigned cars and other causes the output averages nearly 300,000 tons per week, which is an increase of 50000 tons weekly ahead of this time in 1919
 The demand for coal is greatly in excess of the supply, compared with stagnant market at this time in 1919
 Coleis as scarce as hens teeth owing to an u1l- precedented demand. Prices range from $11 to $1250 Far-off points in Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan, never before heard of in the Birnng- ham coke market, are seeking to place contracts The economic coke producing capacity, through the by-product process, has increased from 843 to l, ,147 ovens with an annual coal con- sumption of 6,000O0O tons and coke production of 45O0,000 tons.
 Five months production of pig iron in Ala bama was within fraction of 100000 tons, an increase over 1919 f20 per cent The increase in May was 5per cent Blast furnaces come to the summer season with the greatest active produc- ing capacity of the year and the greatest in two years.
 The iron market is very strong; there are no stocks on hand, and prices rule at $42, compared with S24 and weak market at this time in 1919. Sloss-Sheffield, the south's largest foundry iron producer has brought in it's by-product works and is fast completing identification of all it's plants. The by-product works generates the gas that drives the electrical energy and the company will soon be electrically independent Gulf States Steel has brought exng ore at Shannon mines after of uous labor adding per to it's drawing department and 20 per department installing electrical machinery render electr caly independent and complete eeccrun steel plant

TANLAC QUICKLY
GAVE MUCH AID
"All My Ailments Have Been Re-

Declares She Is Glad to Recommend
Tanlac as a "Fine Tonic"

"When l had taken the first bottle
of Tanlac was in much better health
generally and all my ailments had
been relieved" declared Mrs. NJ. ].
Casey, of 80 Kennedy ST., Spartan
burg, S. c., in a statement describing
the painful ailments with which she
suffered, and telling of the great i'm
provement Tanlac quickly made in
her condition. Mrs. Casey's state
ment follows:
81 suffered from stomach trouble
and l just felt badly all over" said
Mrs. Casey. 81 was tired and no ac-
count all the time. My appetite had
about left me and it was seldom that
I ever could find anything to eat that
1 really wanted. Everything l ate
hurt me, too, and after meals l felt
puffed up about my stomach. l had
heartburn also. In fact. I nearly
burnt up with it. That ailment was
awful.
"Frequently l had dizzy spells and
headaches. My general health was
bad. I knew 1 needed some kind of
medicine, but it seemed that l just
could not find what l needed. At last /
decided to try Tanlac. The medicine
gave me quick results, and certain
ly can praise Tanlac for the way it
improved M health.
"When the first bottle was taken
was in much better health generally
and all my ailments had been relieved.
1t gave me good appetite and helped
that heartburn right away. am
glad to recommend Tanlac, for it is
such a fine medicine, and l will get
more of it If I ever need it again"

HICKORY CREEK WATER
Il .lIILuWS IN TO THE CITY
LAKE AND WILL COURSE
THROUGH MAINS TODAY

Water from the mountain stream
through the new pipe line reached the
city lake last night. at S o'clock.
The water was turned into the city
lake but the pumper expects that
some time today this water will be
turned direct NO the city mains.
II this is done in two or three
days The water will be out of the
lines in the city and mountain water
will be in our homes.
l., y .Leeper, the day man at the
pump station, estimates the amount
of water being conveyed at from GOO
to 200 gallons a minute. II the flow
Is 500 gallons minute the amount
received each day will be S64, 600 gal.
Ions, IL 200 gallons a minute arrive
the daily amount to reach tie city
mains will be zoos ,OOO gallons. The
city is now using million gallons
a day,
The results arc delightful. While
the season of the year is here
when more water is needed, still, moro
water can be run through the line
with little pressure ut the source.
An experienced oil man in speaking
of the line today, said he had gone
over it and that 1t had the appearance
of being n very weak line lie said
two bolts had been used where four
should have been used, that in his
opinion the line would not bear
very much pressure and that il q
pump were installed that the pres.
sure should be applied very slowly
so that the tearing Of the line to
pieces with pressure would be avoid
ed. lie also stated that the line was
not buried deep enough to protect
1t from freezing during the winter
months. This oil man also stated
that a hog pump could be gotten
from the fields and installed and
would serve the purpose Of a booster
station until such time as the city
could purchase and install a pump.
A portion of the line has not
been tested for leaks and men are
walking it today to discover wheth
er any leaks have occurred or not.

FANS ARE REA DY FOR A
BIG TIME At NATIONAL
GAME FOR 1920 SEASON

Tanned and hardened by six weeks
of Intensive training under southern
suns the baseball teams of the Ma
tional and American Leagues open
the 1920 season this afternoon, wealth.
er permitting. While it is too much
to expect midsummer playing form,
there appears to be every indica
tion that the contests will be con.
Quoted under favorable conditions.
The players however are not like
ly to make their debuts in the same
congenial atmosphere that favored
their preliminary work below the
Mason and Dixon line for the gener
al forecast calls for cold, fair weather
with high winds. There may be ex.
cepuons, for the opening schedule is
far flung. In the National League
Boston plays at New York; Philadel-
cinant and Pittsburg at st. Louis,
while the American league cubs will
clash as follows: New York at Phil
adelphia; Washington at Boston; De-
trOit at Chicago, and 81. Louis at
Cleveland
In each city special ceremonies Will
mark the birth OF another baseball
season and although there do not
appear to be any novelties in sight,
the fan will welcome the parades,
band concerts and other formalities
with the usual enthusiasm as the har-
bingers of diamond doings, more i'm
portant, to come. That they will not
be disappointed is the prediction OF
close followers Of the national game,
for according to these baseball proph-
cts, the big and little leagues are fac
ing the most prosperous and success
full season in the history OF the sport.
These predictions are based upon at
tendance at the southern training
camp games the subsequent inter.
league exhibition contests and the eN-
traordinary interest generally evinced
In all forms OF athletic contests in
recent months.
While II will be close 10 June be
fore the true strength of the clubs
can be accurately gauged it is the
consensus OF opinion among the base
ball sharps that Cleveland. New York
and Philadelphia, and Washington
are all stronger in the American
league than was the case 4 year ago,
while Detroit, st. Louis and Chicago
can be expected to equal their 1919
form. The Boston club is considered
an uncertainty in the National Lea
que. Philadelphia, Chicago and Brook
lyn are thought to be more powerful
and better balanced than last year.
New York, Pittsburg and st. Louis ap
pear on n par with their initial
strength year ago. while Boston and
Cincinnati do not appear TO have i'm
proved as perceptibly as other teams
In the senior league.
