My appetite was almost completely
gone. I'd feel hungry until got to the

leave. Mother would often fix up little
dainties for me but as quick as l saw
them my appetite would go and then
couldn't eat.

around. My head ached and panied Sc
verely nearly all the time, too, and
could scarcely stand it.
ION account of the nervous trouble
l couldn't sleep right at night or get
proper rest.
"Vola-Tonic was recommended so
highly that decided to take it and be-
fore the second bottle was gone | could
see wonderful benefits. My appetite
came back fine and could eat any
thing wanted without any trouble.
"Since then have kept on improv-

SERIOUS SHORTAGE:
 OF THE ICE SUPPLY Consumers Limited on Daily AmOunt-New Machinery
 to Bring Relief

Birmingham is now facing a serious ice shortage, and consumers will be "rationed."
 Housewives of the city will be al- lowed only twenty pounds of ice daily and stores using ice will be restricted to 200 pounds.
 Among the reasons given by officials at the ice plants are the extreme hot weather, coal and freight shortage. and rundown machinery.
 Officials of the City Ice Company and the Alabama Packing Company say that even if their machinery was in working order that they could not get enough coal to keep running.
 Some of the ice plants of the city are changing their machinery from steam driven to electric power. In some cases the new machinery has been ordered for more than a year and a half. but it was only a few weeks ago that the first of the shipments began to arrive.
 Officials of the ice plants are mak- ing every effort to get the machinery in place as early as possible. so as not to have to depend upon irregular coal deliveries.

 Dr. Fisher spoke of the splendid work the local club had done for the boys of this district and declared when club of this kind had a commit tee on boys work and planned to take care of the boys of the district that this was piece of idealism. He spoke cf the importance of this work and outlined the programme of Boy Scout work which was not confined only to the boys, but for the men as well.
 He referred to the various athletic sport contests. declaring that not one had been found to go over for man of mature age. Usually athletic sports were stopped when boy left college. and while he might still enjoy the va rious sports he seldom participated in them.
 ''Of the 500, 900 Scout population. 100.- 900 are men," said the speaker, and l am glad that we have found a pro- gramme at last that is a mans pro- eramme as well as a boys. The ma jority of men underestimate the ability of the boys. These little fellows can te trained to do things for others for getful of themselves. The spirit of serving others is taught all scouts. and if the spirit of America shall grow we must find things for the boys to do that imbibes this spirit They serve their fellows by the daily good turn, and in this way develop the spirit Of service for others and self control"

 The city is to build the pool and have charge of it. The donation of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company is in the way of an investment in the welfare of it's workers and their families and the other residents of the section.
 Officials of the company state that the plans have been put in the hands of J.. Ellis Brown, city commissioner of pulp lie improvements, and that he has worked out the details.
 The pool is to be located on Avenpe l, Ensley. between Twenty-ninth street and Thirtieth street. The pool will be in the open air. but will be surrounded with a U-shaped building that will be an orn- ament for architectural beauty.

pr. Fisher related several incidents where Scouts had saved the lives of others and in many instances were in iured themselves in doing this good turn. He declared the Boy Scout pro- gramme was character making pro- gramme and the greatest need is not tu give money but to give personal service to help train. these boys. He stated that If the men of the Rotary Club realized just what the oath of the Scouts meant to them they would join in this work and take an active part.
