ADJUSTMENTS By EsTELLE BETHEA HALE
THE OLD HOMESTEAD" HAS
 FIRST SHOWING TONIGHT

Laugh and grow fat is old cure for the blues, which can be ably assisted by Denman Thompson's, "The Old Home- stead,' one of the oldest, and many be- lieve the most humorous of native Amer ioan productions. Critics claim that ''rile Old Homestead' has caused more genuine laughter during it's long period of pro- duction than any other kind of play. It is pleasing largely because it never be- comes too gay, but is a play where the spectator will laugh one minute and wipe his eyes the next.
 This stage classic, which comes to the Jefferson tonight, with through Saturday night and matinee, is promised to prove as pleasing scenicly as dramatically. Among the most beautiful of the set tings is the famous Grace Church scene in New York City by moonlight. The production also has among it's musical attraction a double quartet, which is said to be an organization of singers that rank as among the best now before the public.

down condition and felt weak and list less all the time. I tried medicine aft CT medicine without any results until became badly discouraged.
 Finally my son-in-law told me about Tanlac and I tried it. Right away my appetite improved and my digestion got better and l could eat things I hadn't been able to touch in years. My strength and energy returned and I could sleep soundly at night. That was four years ago, and I have enjoyed good health ever since, for I make it a rule to take a bottle once or twice every year to keep my system in good condition, and it has never yet failed to give me fine results. Tanlac is a grand medicine, and I feel I am loing anyone a good turn by getting them to try it.
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs Drug Store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.,. in Eusley by Ezell Drug Co.,, in Bessemer by Pe- gram Patton Drug Co.,, and in Avon dale by Robert W. Murray.-Adv.

Use Manure on Garden Land

American gardeners could well af-
ford TO learn lesson from the
French gardeners regarding the use
OF manure on their land. In some
cases where French gardeners are
working on rented land. a clause In
the lease provides that should the
gardener be required 10 vacate the
land he is permitted to remove the
top soil TO specified depth. II ~
customary TO apply anywhere from
4 to 8 inches Of manure a year on
French gardens. This is composted
and mixed with the soil and In the
course OF few weeks becomes part
of the sold itself. II is needless to
state that some enormous crops are
grown on this land.
While II would not be possible
for American gardeners TO secure suf'

French gardeners. yet an enori

he found 0akcs already there. Oakes

r Mr.. Snyder did not reply.
Il struck Oakes that his employer
Vas preoccupied and nervous. He
would have inquired into this unusual
frame Of mind. but at that moment
the third guest cf the evening entered.
Mr.. Snyder looked curiousiy at the
newcomer. The big German had q
morbid interest for him. Many years
In the exercise Of u profession which
tends to rob It's votaries Of sentiment
had toughened Mr.. Snyder. but there
was something unusual about the
present circumstances which struck
home 10 his imaginatlon.
He was not used to this furtive
work. TIL now he had met his man
IN the open as an enemy. and II struck
him as an unpleasantly gruesome
touch that ke must presently sit al
meat with one whom II might be his
task TO send 10 the electric chair.
He wished Mrs. Pickett could have
arranged things otherwise: but she
was his employer. and when on duty
IN the service Of an employer Mr..
Snyder was wont 10 sink his personal
feelings.
Captain Muller. the German. was an
Interesting study 10 one In the de-
tective's peculiar position.
II WAS not Mr.. Snyder's habit To
trust overmuch TO appearances. but
he could not help admitting that there
was something about this mans as-
pect which brought Mrs. Pickett's
charges out Of the realm .of the fan
tastic into that OF the possible.
Here, to student OF men like Mr..
Snyder. was obviously man with
something on his mind. That that
something need not necessarily be
murder, or any crime whatsoever, the
detective admitted.
but under. the circumstances the
fact that Captain Muller was In a
highly nervous condition was worthy
of notice II nothing more.
There was something Odd-an un-
natural gloom--abOut the man. He
bore himself like one carrying heavy
burden. His eyes were dull, his face
haggard.
The next moment the detective was
reprOaehing himself with allowing his
imagination to run away with his
calmer judgment. II mortified him to
think that he was permitting himself
10 be carried away by train Of
thought precisely AS Oakes would
have been.
Nevertheless, whether II was a real
oddness or whether Mrs Pickett's
words had oyerstimulated his fancy.
there certainly did seem something
odd about the German.
Mr.. Snyder disposed himself TO
watch events.
Al this moment Oakes gave evil
dence that he, too, had been struck by
the expression OF the others face.
you're not looking wen, captain"
he said.
e The German raised bis heavy eyes.
