SOUND ADVICE
 ABOUT EATING
Alabama Lady Says We Im- pose On Nature By Over eating, But Thedford's ! Black-Draught Will
 Make You Feel
 Better.

Paint Rock, Ala.-Recommendinp Thedford's Black-Draught to her friends and neighbors, Mrs. Mary Manning, of this place, says: q never have and never expect to find a better medicine than Black Draught. When I've had a cold and needed laxative, I used Black Draught. I use it for sour stomach, headache and indigestion, and it does the work.
 T believe most ills we have are caused from inactive liver. We im-i pose on nature by over-eating, and then the liver don't act. We get lazy. and no-account. It is hard for us to do our work, and we'd get real sick if we didn't take something. The best remedy I have found yet is Black Draught. It doesn't leave you con- stipated, and feel better after talk ing round of it."
 Made from purely vegetable ingre- dients, Black-Draught acts in a natu- ral way, and is free from the bad after-effects of so many mineral drugs.
 Get package today. Be sure that it bears the word "Thedford's."
 Thedford's is the only genuine Black-Draught liver medicine.

COOPERATIVE HOME DEVELOP|N ING
Still S11,0OO Short of De. sired S75,OOO, But Work
 Begins


 Reports showing progress on the work of the Methodist Cooperative Home for Girls were made at the monthly meeting of the City Mission Board, which was held yesterday in the First Methodist church.
 The reports indicated that the house located at Eighth avenue and Eight eenth street. North, which will be used as the home, has been purchased for the sum of s25000. The first install- ment on an apartment house in the rear which will be used as an addition to the home and through which the board hopes to care for 100 girls, has been made
 Architects are at work making plans for the complete remodeling the build- ing. Bids will be asked from contrac- tors at any early date, and everything gotten in readiness for occupancy by early fall.
 The $75,000 campaign for the upkeep of this home is nearing the end, it was stated. About s66,000 has been realized so far. and checks and donations are being made almost daily.
 Mrs. Fields, an especially trained worker, of Nashville. Tenn, has been secured as matron for the home She will be in Birmingham in the latter part of the summer to assume control of the houses.

at Gate City The new Kilby plant is also scheduled for early operation.
 With the new sanitary pipe shops that will have been placed in operation by the turn of the year, or shortly there after Birmingham will have doubled Its production of sanitary pipe.
 With the new shops built in Birming- ham and in Talladega, Bessemer, Gads- den and Anniston the states production of sanitary pipe and fittings will nave been doubled
 Activity in building operations of the past year and the dearth of housing. which forecasts a steady demand for sanitary pipe for at least two years 10 come, has been the inspiration of this expansion.
 These new concerns uniformly pur- chase their pig iron at neighboring fur mace plants, and hence increase furnace production. The new ones will require a minimum of 300 tons of pipe per day, which is the same as saying that they will keep one large blast furnace busy supplying them.
 Water and gas and sanitary pipe plants have multiplied in the Birmingham dis- trict and it's env1rons in order to get close to the pig iron, and are the heavless smelters of foundry iron in the dlstrlct.

Dere Clippins:
We made Thanksgivin' tour house
And had a scrumpshus feast;
We had a turkey gobbler
That waved u pounds at least
Gramp and Gram drove over
And sister Maud whose married.
And you otter seen when they went
home
The bunch of stuff they carried.
Ma she cooked bout all the week
And kept me hikin round;
| went ter every grocery store
Fore everything was found.
The mince pic bakin' smclt so good
And the apple and the squash:
Pa said to Ma. you beat EN- all
When it comes to pies, by gosh
/ teesed her for a tceny piece
And she looked at me in horrer
And said, "see here, you must behave
Or you'll get none tomorrer."
My kid sister Eva, she
Had fun a-Scrapin' dishes.
But me. | had to take it out
In smcllin' and in wishes.
Old Rover, he just hung around
Till Ma said, ''herc, you scOOt
And take along this pcs<y dog
That's always undCrfoot.
The mornin' came. twas cloudy some,
The turkey was a-bakin';
The compny come and rustled round
At last twas on the table
And Gee, | was most starved;
! wished they'd get a hustle on
And get the old bird carved.
Pa. he dropped the carvin' knife
And made an orful clatter;
Ma said ''do be careful George.
= You'll break my biggest platter
! guess that Pa remembered
How at such times he'd felt,
For he piled my plate up sayin',
"This'll tighten up your belt.
i ct and ct and ct some more,
! didn't stop to talk,
And when / got UP from my chair,
Gosh, / could hardly walk.
We set around and visited
And Gramp he got to snoozin';
Pa says, father you wobble round
As though you had been boozin'.
Maude She played the phonygraf:
Keep the Home Fires Burnin,
And turned the record over
To there's a Long Long Trail a
Turnin'''
At six o'clock they all went home.
Twas still as it could be:
Ma said she was so tired
She couldn't hardly see.
And soon l got so sleepy
] stumped upstairs to bed;
Pa SAYS you sure do beat 'em
At bein' a sleepy head.
The last thing | remember
Was hearin' Pa call Rover,
And wonderin' how much turkey
For tomOrrer was left over.

Total ...... $40 $50. So $j71, 120.JS
These figures are of public interest
in what they show as to the distribution
of the funds spent by the state for edu-
cational purposes. but in themselves are
insufficient for use as basis Of any
critical analysis Of the educational de-
partmcnt itself. In a general way, how
ever. they indicate that there has been
an increase in the cost of general adj
ministrat;on.
For example, n grouping of the items
of expenditure for union superintendent,
teacher training, summer schools and nor
NAL schools shows a combined total of
S167. J51 10 in 1918 compared to $21S,-
G73.O4 in 192O-an increase of $51,121.-
50.
On the other hand the combined items
for transportation and board, rural
teachers salaries and cqualizing Oppor-
tunitics show a totoal of $27O,959.77 in
1918 compared to $241 OS4.S7 in 1920
a decrease of 500, S74.90.
Grouping the expenses for higher ed
ucation, junior high schools, vocational
training and vocational education, the
result shows a total of $77.6O1 81 in 1918
compared to $8G.533 20 in 192O-an in
crease of $8,931.53.
In view of the attention that is certain
to be given the subject of education in
the next legislature it would seem wise
for the state board of education to ana
we these figures for the benefit of the
PUBLIC Taken by themselves almost any
sort Of deduction can be drawn from
