The OrganlZation meeting was calteu
 to order at o'clock last night in the
 Mudd temporary chairman. He read the
 constitution and bylaws and they were
 adopted without change.
 Among other provisions of the consti-
 tuition is that restricting membership to voters provided the young man has had the opportunity to qualify as such.
 The selection of officers was done in q thoroughly democratic manner, the non-
 nations being from the floor and the ballot a secret one. Fucker Agee, IT. win Engell and Robert Messer made good races for the presidency and Chas.
 l.. Jones tied MT. Engell for the vice presidency, but withdrew in favor of hls opponent.
 NO RED TAPE There was quite lively argument over naming a portion of the directorate al | the initial meeting, but it was finally
 decided to select five at that time, constl-
 tuition or none, it being the sense of the meeting that red tape should not hol' them back from getting to work iol Birmingham right now

 Dr. N. A. Barrett president Of the city commission, was present at the meeting of the directors and in a briei speech spoke very encouragingly oi the possibility of Birmingham getting Carnegie library. On behalf of the city commission he pledges support oi the project from that quarter.
 The committee on the location of 8 library will have full charge of the project. They will get in communica- ton with the authorities immediately and the prospects for library build ing in Birmingha will be announced shortly.

 CRAMPED QUARTERS

The national council of South Africa
has a similar resolution. and the ma

idea in its most definite form. It il
held that mothers who have their

fixed income in proportion to the
| number Of their children. The differ

and that Of their household should
be paid out Of governmental or mu-
nicipal funds or out of both, con-
jointly. Effective control Of this en-
dowment securing its expenditure ex-

Looks Fifteen

Her Relatives Gave Up Hope
of Mrs. Taylor's Re-
covery-Tanlac
Proves Merit.

"a few weeks ago my friends and
relatives didn't expect me to live
much longer but now they are all tell
ing me that look fifteen years
younger" said Mrs. Minnie G. Tay-
lor, 80 21st street, Hunigton, w. Va,
while telling of her wonderful recovery
to special Tanlac representative who
had heard Of her remarkable case and
had called to ascertain the facts.
During the past year I have suf-
fered more than words can express
and just hate to think of>the terrible
condition / was in" she continued.
II was SO bad off spent much of my
time in bed and when I did manage to
be up it was an effort for me to get
around at all. My digestion was so
extremely poor that / was almost
afraid to touch bite and when I did
eat anything it was through force. l
suffered untold agonies after eating
and felt so nauseated I could hardly
breathe. Nervous spells often came
on me and / couldn't sit still one
minute and I lost so much sleep I was
on the verge of a complete break
down. ] tried so many medicines
without getting relief, that ] almost
gave up hope and my friends and
neighbors said if something wasn't
done right away I would not last
much longer.
FINALLY one Of my friends who had
been taking Tanlac advised me to try
it as it had done her so much good.
Well, | took her advice and as long
as l live I will bless the day I be-
gan taking Tanlac for it is nothing
short of remarkable how this medi-
cine has built me up from nervous
wreck to well and happy woman.
My appetite is just fine and I can d.
gest anything eat without the slight
est trouble at ALL My nerves are just
as steady as can be, and am sleeping
soundly every night. / have new life
and strength and will never be able
to pay the debt of gratitude l owe
Tanlac, for it has been one of the
greatest blessings of my life"
