Mrs. Alice Gresham Dodd,
 First War Mother of the Nation, Gives Entir e Credit for Recovery of Her Health to the We'll 1 Known Medicine, Tanlac.

The following remarkable indorse- ment of Tanlac was given recently by Mrs Alice Gresham Dodd, at the Gresham Memorial Home, Gavin Park, Evansville, Ind, which home was pre- sented to her by the patriotic people of Indiana, as evidence of their appro- citation of the services rendered to h s country by her son, Corporal James b. Gresham, the first American soldier killed in France. Expressions or sym pathy were received by Mrs. Dodd iron, all parts of the United States, and the newspapers of the country car ried the story of the first war mother,
 The shock of her sons death resulted in the serious breakdown of Mrs Dodds health, but everyone will learn with interest ane pleasure that she is now in splendif health again.

Then had an attack of rheumatism, with severe pains in my shoulders, back and arms. Some times l used to suffer great deal, and my joints would get all swollen up and stiff. I was able to do very little about the house, and at times couldn | even cook a meal.

 From Obstructing ROaC!

Temporary injunction was granted yes terday morning by Judge Horace Wilkin- son in the circuit court, restraining Henry Hadnot and s. M. Hadnot from further maintaining an obstruction in the public highway and ordering them to remove such instructions.

 A general discussion followed Mir. Gam bill's talk and number of the mem- bers of the exchange expressed theni- selves as in line with exclusive listing. A committee of five will be appointed by the president to investigate the situ- ation and report back to the exchange.

number of letters in which complaint is made that bituminous coal prices at the mines now range from s7 to $i1 a ton, with further increase imminent. The writers say that operators are attributing the advanced prices to car shortage and export demand, emphasis being placed upon the export demand.
 Production cost figures gathered by the federal trade commission from 1889 bituminous coal operators in the prin cipal production regions mining roughly about 60 per cent of the annual output show that during January, 1920, their costs per ton averaged s232 at the mines.

By Associated Press

Washington, June 17.-A drive on prof iteers in bituminous coal was ordered today by Attorney General Palmer.
 All federal district attorneys were or dered to give special attention to charges of such profiteering and to seek indict- ment where investigation warranted.
 "The department of justice" said MT. Palmer's instructions, 'is receiving

at the convention, MT. Jemison sail. The condition was found to be serioi s not only in this country. but all over tie world.
 The cause was attributed to the fact that there was little money for invest ment in real estate and building enter- p7ises, most people preferring the mo e rerumerative and untaxable government securities and other bonds as an inves-- ment.
 He mentioned the bill now pending be- fore Congress that mortgages on land for amounts less than si0,000 be not suD- iect to taxation. The secretary was rs- quested to communicate with the con- gressmen and senators from Alabama to secure favorable action on this bill.

SAFE INVESTMENT

The national Association of Real Es- tate Boards is to undertake a nation ] advertising campaign for the purpose If interesting people in the fact that real estate is the best and safest investment. For this purpose many of the boards pledged themselves to contribute a sun of money each year for three years. Birmingham pledged S200 annually for the purpose of carrying on this cam paign.
 MT. Gambill said that Birmingham WAS one of the very few cities of this size that still continued the old plan of lis.- ing property for sale with several aSenfs at the same time. Exclusive listing has been adopted by practically all other cities in the country.
 He pointed out the advantages of e,,- elusive listing. It gives the agent free hand. enabling him to make sure ths { the sale Is of advantage to the seller and buyer. It leads to better feeling among the different agents and spirit of cooperation.
 It would give the younger agents and

At the same time Mr.. Dlsque rec.
