THE NEW BOOKS
The Example Of SWitaeflanA

Switzerland has always had q fas-
cination for political scientists. The
Oldest democracy living. Switzerland
still leads the world in the applica-
ton of democratic principles. and so
successful has been its experiments
in the referendum and the initiative
that, according to Felix Bonjour, for
mer president Of the Swiss National
Council, in his book entitled Real
Democracy in Operation" 1t may be
said to have found suitable safeguards
from political commissions and revo-
lutions.
The former president describes in
a remarkable manner other outstand-
ing features Of the Swiss Republic
which are both of interest to layman
and scholar in view Of the changes
brought elsewhere by the war. Peo'
ple are now becoming more and more
interested in their governments and
various political reformists have
sprung up, each with his principles
of political reform Switzerland
has undergone all these politica
phases and has long ago put a league
OF nations in operation.
"For Switzerland herself" says Mr.
Bonjour, represents a League II
miniature through her achievement
in uniting races and languages whicl
elsewhere are given up to pitiless con
fiicts. Though she has taken man.
centuries to reach her present happ.
situation, it is not too much to iool
forward to a time when other nations
after an experience Of bloodshed an
catastrophes without parallel, Will fol
low her path in their turn and ultl
mately reach the same goal, the es
tablishment of the United States Q

to 13i pounds. When I was repatriated and finally got my discharge in Febru. ary 1919, I was little better than liv- ing skeleton. l had no appetite and my digestive system was so upset that what little I did eat always gave me severe pains in the pit of my stomach. Before I joined the service I never knew what nerves were. but after what I went through my nerves were so shattered that I couldn't keep still minute, and the slightest thing upset me For six months l continued in this condition unable to pick up strength, and so weak that any attempt at work tired me out completely I began to think that [ should never be well and strong man again.
 But the way Tanlac overcame my troubles and built me up was nothing short of marvellous. It gave me such an appetite that I wanted to eat all the while, and I sure did make up for lost time. I had no more bother with in- digestion and from then on I picked up strength and put on weight until now tip the beam at 0H pounds and am as well and strong as I ever was before I joined the service. My nerves are as steady as a die and I'm like my old self again. Tanlac is certainly grand med icine and I think every suffering person ought to try it.
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs Drug Store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.,, in Ensley by Ezell Drug Co.,, in Bessemer by Pegram- Patton Drug Co.,, and in Avondale by' Robert W. Murray.--Adv.

Officer of IlI-Fated U. 5. 5. Neptune Gives Story of Remarkable Adventure and Recovery.

Richard Cannon Chief Petty Officer of the U. $. S Neptune, whose dramatic capture at sea by German U-boat and subsequent experiences aboard the sub marine and in a German prison hos
 pital, thrilled the entire country, is still another world war hero to test the re-
 markable reconstructive powers of Tan lac and gives it his strong indorsement. Mir. Cannon-s adventures were so har- rowing that his constitution was com pletely shattered, but after months of suffering he has now regained the won- derful health that enabled him to pull through his adventures alive, and is today the same strapping 00-pound fighter that embarked on the ill-fated collier. But let him tell his own story:
 When the Neptune was torpedoed off the Irish coast" said MT. Cannon, who now lives at TOT East Lafayette, Tam pa, Fla, 'I had my right leg and five ribs broken by the explosion and when came to my senses I found myself on board a submarine bound for Germany. I was kept in German prison hospital for five months, and you imagine what I must have suffered when I tell you that I fell off in weight from 225

 vice-President Jelks Cabiness related some of the experiences of the Birmingham Civilians who went to Mem- phis a week ago to assist in the presen- tation of a charter to the club in that city and of the enthusiasm manifested by Civilians of the Tennessee metropo- oils in the Civitan organization.
 President Shropshire told of a letter he had received from some of the lead ing business men of New Orleans re- aresting that representative be sent to that cit yto organize a Civitan Club there.

For the Good of
 the Community

of Alabama, Ira F. Randall, general chairman of the membership drive now being conducted, said:
 fThe two most powerful factors in public affairs in the United States today are Sam Gompers and Judge B. H. Gary, respective representa- tives of organized labor and organ ized employers of labor.
 "The retail merchants of the coun- try have more capital invested and represent larger interests than either Gompers or Gary"
 Retail merchants have borne the brunt of taxation without an organized voice in the infliction of the load.
 The slogan of the new Alabama Retail Merchants Association is Educate the legislator before he leaves for Mont gomery.'
 The Alabama retailer will hereafter speak through the membership of his or ganization before the damage is done" He will let the legislator know before hand what he wants and what he does not want.
 Here are some of the blanks of the or ganization:
 Just and proper taxation.
 Legislation protecting credits.
 "A modified exemption law to conform to that of other progressive states.
 Change the rule of evidence to make the proving of debt in a court of law less cumbersome.
 '"To provide for the punishment of shoplifting and obviate the danger of damage suits for malicious prose cution by fair and just taxation.
 Assist in the election to state office of only such men as will be fair and just to the mercantile in- terests of the state. s'See that the retailer is given square deal.
 "Assist in driving illiteracy from the state by helping the public schools.
 s Protect the merchant from un- just and burdensome requirements and acts of the jobber, the manu- facturer and the wholesaler.
 Bring before the public the mer- chants side of the problem confront ing him by proper publicity through the newspapers of the state.
 It is notable fact, pointed out by legal experts, that the Alabama laws of credits and proving accounts date back fifty and sixty years.
 It is a hazard for merchant to cause the arrest of shoplifters known to be guilty of the act, because, If a weak jury on final trial acquits the accused, the de- fendant has right of action for malicious prosecution. That the accused should have been bound over in lower court IS no estoppel to the damage suit.
 Merchants of Ghent and Antwerp and Liege, who had made the ships and manu- factured products of the Low Countries known in the far corners of the world be- fore England had emerged from the primitive, furnished the means with which William the Silent fought off the hosts of the Spanish empire and carved out the independence of The Netherlands. These merchants had stout cliques,
