BOTH SURPRISED AND DELIGHTED" IS
 WHAT HE DECLARES

which I had last April, that came near costing me my life, but it has put me in shape to where 1 have gained twenty five pounds in weight, besides, and I want to go on record as saying 1 believe it the finest medicine in the world The peo- pie up my way were buying it right and left, and were all telling about the good it had done them.
 I was confined to my house and bed with the flu for three weeks and there seemed to be little hope of me getting well. When I did finally get up I was just complete nervous and physical wreck-so weak l was almost helpless. Was left without any appetite and my stomach so upset that even the sight of food was repulsive to me. Nothing seemed to help me or give me any strength, and I began to feel that I was not much longer for this world
 T finally resorted to Tanlac, however and both to my surprise and delight I began to improve at once. My appetite picked right up, my nerves got stronger and l soon felt myself regaining my lost weight and strength. As became stronger my old-time energy returned and my friends were soon talking about my rapid improvement. I am still A well man and attribute my good health to nothing but Tanlac I am glad to give the public the benefit of my experience with Tanlac because I believe it is just the medicine thousands are needing to build them up and make life worth liv- ing
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- siy ely by Eugene Jacobs Drug Store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.,; Ensley, Ezell Drug Co.,; Bessemer, Pegram-Patton Drug Co.,, and East Lake, F. G. Burch- fiel.-Adv.

SCHEDULES
 IN NORTH SERVICE
Chamber Of Commerce And A. G. s. Railway Getting
 Together.

The first step in giving Birmingham a more comfortable and satisfying pas senger schedule to New York has been taken.
 Train No 2 on the Alabama Great Southern, leaving Birmingham now at 6 in the morning will, after next Sun day be known as train No. AZ and will leave Birmingham at in the morning, one hour later.
 The Chamber of Commerce asked for a train on this route leaving here at 10 o'clock in the morning. The conces- sion already obtained is regarded as leading eventually to a still more suit able schedule.
 The return train from New York will be known as No. 41, and will arrive in Birmingham at the same hour as now. namely 11:25 o'clock at night. The improved schedule has been announced after a conference with high officials Of the road, including w. A. Becker t- Cincinnati passenger traffic manager: Fl F. Cary, Washington, general pas senger agent; and James Freeman, Bir- il jngham, division passenger agent. VIA CHATTANOOGA PREFERRED
 It is understood that Southern rail way officials are almost prepared to ,t.ake the leaving time of the Birming ham special, now a. m.. an hour later, so that Birmingham business men may nave a chance to attend to the mornins. mail before leaving for New York. But the chamber especially wishes the morning train on the Alabama Great Southern which goes via Chattanooga to leave at 10 o'clock because the route to New York via Chattanooga from Birmingham is both shorter and mors comfortable.
 more satisfactory service betv cen Birmingham and Chattanooga is also aimed at and is being considered in the conferences between the chamber and ra ilroad officials.
 Trains now leave Birmingham in the afternoon a o'clock arriving at Chat tanooga at 9:30 and at 8 o'clock T. night, arriving at Chattanooga at 1: :5G in the morning. These trips are long and tiresome and the hours not satis- factory. Indications are also said to point to a distinct improvement in schedules.
 What encourages the business men is that the ice has been broken. the frs, forward step taken and others are un- derstood to be under favorable consid- eration.
