Urgent Appeal for
 Jewish Relief Fund

1D) ELIEF must go to the starving IN Jews in eastern Europe. Nathan Straus, Jacob H. Schiff, Louis Rosenwald and other philan- thropic Jews of New York are urging now more than ever the vital CO., operation of leaders of the Jewish race and of men regardless of ,reed for the coming appeal in Birmingham.
 It is humanity's call, and the re- sponse must be prompt and generous. The situation is appalling. Typhus and famine are sweeping away thou sands upon thousands The present movement has enlisted the sympathy of all large-hearted people. As Mr. Straus, in a telegram to The Age Herald points out, the indorsemcnt and active assistance of our local committees will inspire other promi- nent citizens to come to the rescue.
 Aid on large scale now will stay the sweeping losses of life. Of all the dread horrors afflicting Europe in recent years, that of to- day is the most heartrending. Jews and Gentiles alike must open their pursestrings. Birmingham will surely be relied upon to do it's part. < < *
 Anti tuberculosis Work
 Makes Good Progress wv HEN the Jefferson County w Anti-Tuberculosis Associa- tion was organized several years ago, it was uphill work to finance it, even in small way
 But the men and women who had undertaken the movement had their heart in it and little by little the work grew and showed good fruit There is no longer begging for funds. The Christmas seals have yielded large results, and in addi- tion to this source of revenue, life memberships and associate member ships have multiplied. Today the funds in hand are sufficient to carry the association over the next few months and quiet appeal is now be- ing made for five dollar associate memberships amounting to fifteen thousand dollars, which will finance the work through the coming spring. The association has been man. 'aged with wonderful efficiency. The time will come when tuberculosis will be virtually stamped out of Jefferson county.

so many Of my patrons at the
studio have told me about Pepgen that
] decided to take 1t myself because l
was In run down condition from over
work"
This remark by Mr. Gilbert Carson,
one OF the leading photographers Of the
South. Is significant. What he says
about his own experience in a state
ment that he has given is a tribute to
the effectiveness of the tonic in ques
ton, but the comment quoted above
permits Of some deductions that speak
volumes.
Mr., Carson has his principal studio
at 81 South Main Street. Memphis. and
also studio at Blytheville, Ark, do
ing AL kinds of photography work, out
side and inside. but specializing on
high grade portraits
Mr. Carson's remark that the patrons
have been telling him about Pepgen
brings up this point: When do people
go to have their pictures taken? When
they think they are looking at their
best, of course. So it seems that a
lot of people are not only feeling 50
good after taking Pepgen, but looking
so much better that they think it Is
good time to get their photographs.
Which isn't bad idea at all.
