TIMELY REPAIR OF
 TREAD CUTS SAVE
 MANY AUTO TIRES

The timely repair of even the most Insignificant tread cut prevents sand olisters. mud boils and blowouts. Tho method is so simple that any motorist can protect himself by carrying in his tool kit some self-vulcanizing tread gum, according to Miller Rubber Com pany officials at Akron, o. Running over jagged stones and glass cuts the tread rubber protecting the fabric carcass of the tire. In much the same way that a sponge absorbs water, even a minor tread cut sucks up sand, gravel and water. The mois- ture slowly rots away the cotton fab Tic. The sand and gravel form blis- ters and boils. Together they cause tread separation.
 To neglect any tread cut is danger ous to the life of the tire which de- serves a square deal and protection against the thousand and one forms of tire abuse.
 It pays big dividends in immunity from trouble to regularly inspect tires for tread cuts and when they are . found, to promptly plug with tread gum. rather than to wait for the tire to pop"

mitted during the closing days of the session of the legislature in September, 1919 It merely takes the Port of Mobile from under local influence and makes it statewide proposition and gives the state full powers of supervision and the right to make its own plans for devel- opment and improvement in the port and it's facilities.
 No opposition was shown when the bill proposing the amendment was up for passage in the legislature. No opposi- tion has developed since that time Prominent citizens of several sections of the state who were made members of the harbor commission by Governor Kilby last year are back of the cam palgn of education. They believe the amendment will be ratified by a great majority If the voters understand the proposition and are shown that north Alabama should have the same interest in the Port of Mobile as the territory contigous to the gulf.
 One of the best arguments which will be used in favor of the ratification of the amendment will come from the sue cess of thee Port of New Orleans, which has been under state influence for many years Instead of the citizens of New Orleans being responsible for the growth and development of the port, Louisiana is taking the responsibility. According to those favoring the amendment for the Mobile port, this policy on the part of Louisiana has made New Orleans the leading port on the gulf.
 Supporters of the amendment believe this is the opportune time for the state to show an interest in Mobile. They are pointing out that the federal government Is doing everything in It's power to de- velop the movement of traffic through that port, that Mobile has become one of the leading shpbuilding cities of the country. that the government has just

Hints to Motorists

Driving in deep mud Is not diff cult if good judgment is used by the driver. Don't try to force the car in high gear, causing the wheels to spin. Shift to a lower gear, and take 1t slowly If the car stops, reverse and back up for several feet This will give you chance to gain momentum to overcome the ob- struction. Forcing the engine. and spinning the wheels, only tends to dig a hole.
 When the rear wheels get into a hole and it is difficult to obtain traction to pull out, back up and then shift gear quickly to take ad- vantage of any forward momentum of the car. This forward drift of the car may be Just enough to help you out.
 In driving over crater-like holes watch the road and try to stagger the jolts. Don't let both wheels hit the obstruction squarely. The inn pact will not be so severe on the car. The effect Is noticeable when crossing rough tracks at an angle.
 Backing up in mud has ten dency to unlock the chain fasten- CTS. Then when you drive along for a while one or more of your chains may be lost. This can be avoided by putting a piece of wire around the locking clamp. It Is an easy matter to remove 1t with a pair of pliers.
 Always bear in mind that chains when installed should be draped over the tire with the locking clamps toward the rear. Then the forward movement of the car does not tend to unlock them. Do not install too tightly. but allow enough freedom so they can creep. This prevents cutting the rubber in one place. Cross links should be re- placed immediately when broken, and in such manner that the open part of the hooks Is on the outside, and also so that the new cross-link member will lay flat on the tire without any twist.

MEDICAL AUTHORITY
 BACKS MEDICAL CLAIMS l FOR ZIR0N IRON TONIC
Eminent Physicians Agree That Iron Is Valuable
 Agent In Certain Forms of Disease ZIRON NOT A PATENT OR SECRET REMEDY

Dr. Hobart Amory Hare, Professor of Thera- peutics in the Jefferson Medical College ot Philadelphia, in his book, "A Text Book of Practical Therapeutics" says: "Iron has lit tie or no effect upon the system when given in a single dose, but repeated doses cause an in- crease in the number of red blood corpuscles and plethora, or an increase in the quantity and quality of the blood"
 ZIRON Iron Tonic, composed of pure iron salts, combined with the hypophosphites of lime and soda and other valuable tonic and al- terative ingredients-as specified on the label of every bottle-is not patent medicine or secret remedy, but perfected pharmaceutical preparation of great value and genuine merit in the treatment of conditions due to lack of iron in the blood, such as are described above.
 If you are weak, debilitated, lacking in en- ergy, feel worn out and suffer from loss of ap- petite, dyspepsia, nervousness, irritability; if you are pale and wish to obtain the rosy cheeks that show the presence of iron in your blood, try ZIRON Iron Tonic, for ZIRON will furnish the iron that the impoverished system lacks.
 Your druggist sells ZIRON in S1 bottles, or can get it for you. Ask him about it today. Ii you have trouble getting it, send us $l and we will send you bottle by parcel post prepaid. CHATTANOOGA DRUG 6 CHEMICAL co.

Many of the highest medical authorities agree that Iron is necessary constituent ot the blood, and that blood lacking iron is the cause of many troubles that only iron will cure.
 ZIRON, the compound iron preparation, is the remedy to take when your blood needs help by reason of its lack of iron.
 Among the eminent physicians who are ln accord as to the need of the system for iron, under certain conditions of anemia, general weakness etc., may be mentioned Dr. George F. Butler, A. M., Ph. G., M. D., formerly Pro- lessor and Head of the Department of Thera- ueutics and Professor of Preventive and Clin- ical Medicine of the Chicago College of Medi- cine and Surgery. In his "Text Book of Ma teria Medica," Dr. Butler says of iron that it is ca valuable stomachic tonic,' and that fits pri- mary effect is to supply deficiency of red corpuscles and bring the hemoglobin up to its normal standard"
 Dr. Finley Ellington, late Professor of Ma teria Medica and Therapeutics in Bennett Med ical College, Chicago, in his book, American Materia Medical" says: By the improvement of the blood and the increased supply of oxy- gen to the tissues, occasioned by the adminis- traton of iron when this agent is deficient, the nervous system is directly influenced in most favorable manner There is increased strength end greatly augmented power to resist disease"

 The addition of a few words to section 93 of the state constitution will put the state back of the Port of Mobile. At present the state is not permitted to engage in works of internal improve ment.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co.. Bnghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper-Adv.

l gathered in my rounds. The dates
are 1893, 1905, 1917 and two of ls20.

says he is anxious to be back at his
business, but his doting old dad in

his business alone for quite some time
yet Anyhow, all of the injured Carl

of the terrible accident alive, and will
welcome his return when he is able to
come home again
