Mrs. Arthur Reynolds was charming hostess of Wednesday afternoon, enter talnlng the members of the Cosmopol- itan club and a number of other friends. Flags and the colors of red, white and blue attractively arranged suggested the birthday of Washington. The score cards and favors were also used to carry out this idea.
 The club prize. set of madera tea napkins, was won by Mrs. Walter Gwin. and the guest prize, stationery, fell to Mrs. Clyde Galloway. After the games the hostess served delightful salad plate with coffee to the guests, who in- cluded: Mrs Walter Gwin, Mrs Katen- bach, Mrs. Durette, Mrs. George Bum gardner, Mrs. Virgil Harwell Mrs D. B. Couch, Mrs. Ray Tillman, Mrs. Fay Randle. Mrs. J. l.. Wood, Mrs. J. M Wood, Mrs Brian Cowan, Mrs. Mac Bat son, Mrs. w. E. McWilliams, Jr., Mrs. Herbert Batts, Mrs. Clyde Galloway.

tween Mobile and New York. He said that soliciting campaign would be carried on among Mobile shippers as well as merchants in cities reached by the Warrior service and that they would be asked to route their busi- ness by the Mallory from New York to Mobile and thence via the Warrior system.' The all-water rate means a saving of 20 per cent as compared with rail shipments.
 Four steamers are now operated in the Mobile-New York service, and, if the freight shipments increase as ex- pected, it may be necessary to add additional vessels. Mobile officials of the Warrior river service believe that the all-water route will aid materially in solving the government problem of upstream freight on the river sys- tenn. There was some doubt expressed before the announcement of the diff ferential in the all-water rate by gov ernment officials of continuation of full service on the Warrior due to the lack of cargoes bound upstream.
 According to Warrior barge line of ficials al Mobile, great deal of freight from New Orleans to Tusca- loosa, Montgomery and other points was moving at the present time, but that they added that very little freight was sent from this city to upstream points and it is this business that they hope to develop with the pub lication of the 80 per cent all-water charges.
 The tariff sheets announcing the new all-water rate of so per cent of the rail rate are expected here within 8 few days.

IT COSTS
 TOO MUCH
 TO BE SICK Keep Your Blood in Good Con- dition and You Throw
 Off Disease PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR
 HEALTH No Need to Take Chances With It. Pepto-Mangan Makes
 Rich, Red Blood

When you first feel a tired, all-gone feeling and look pale, your blood is losing it's quality. Weak, impoverished blood has no power to fight disease. It takes red blood to keep you well.
 If you keep your blood in good con dition 1t will fight off disease. You will not be such an easy prey to long and expensive sicknesses. With thin blood you take chances every day.
 There's no need doing that. You can. take Pepto-M -Mangan and build up rich. red blood. With red blood you are able to win in the fight against prevailing diseases. Try Pepto- Man. gan. It comes In tablet or liquid form. Take either kind. The tablet has the same medicinal value as the liquid >But be sure you get the genuine Pepto- Mangan. Ask for "Gude's" and be sure that the name "Gude's Pepto- Mangan." Is on the package.-Adv.

Mir. Brooks suffered for years
 Tells how he got relief

q have tried a great many things for constipation, but the only thing that has been able to relieve me is Milks Emulsion. I am on only my second bottle and have to take very little of it now. My bowels move regu- larly every morning, which they have not been doing for number of years. It seems like living again, after suf- fering so long. l recommended Milks Emulsion to two of my friends and both say it is the best remedy they ever heard of.''-Elmer c. Brooks, 329 Washington St, Peoria, H..
 Constipation weakens the bowel muscles. Salts and purgatives only increase this condition. Milks Emul- sion is a real corrective remedy. You can try it under it's guaranty, with out risking cent
 Milks Emulsion is a pleasant nutri- tive food and corrective medicine. It restores healthy, natural bowel &C., tion, doing away with all need of pills and physics. It promotes appetite and quickly puts the digestive organs in shape to assimilate food. As builder of flesh and strength, Milks Emulsion is strongly recommended to those whom sickness has weakened, and is a powerful aid in resisting and re- pairing the effects of wasting disease. Chronic stomach trouble and constipa- .ion are promptly relieved.
 This is the only solid emulsion made, and so palatable that it is eaten with spoon like ice cream.
 No matter how severe your case, you are urged to try Milks Emulsion un- der this guarantee-Take six bottles home with you, use it according to di- rections and if not satisfied with the results, your money will be promptly refunded.

 One of the largest dealers in building brick said yesterday: We are more op- timistic than we have been in months and have reason to be. Our plants are going ahead producing because the inquiry has so strengthened that we feel justified in preparing for the coming demand. 7
 In the office of steel producer it was remarked: ''The inquiry is better. We have resumed operation of the machinery that prepares the raw material for the finished product We have received some export as well as domestic orders"
 Aretail merchant said: We are break ing even with the same time last year" Inasmuch as 1920 was record breaker around this period of it's passage and the dollar of today is the equivalent of one and half dollars of year ago, doing as we'll now as at this time in 1920 is really doing much better.
 The city hall issued twenty-eight build ing permits in one day this week. It was the best record in some time. Several of the structures for which permits were is- sued are for modest home purposes. They are precisely what is most needed.
 Here and there in this district and else where in Alabama skilled craftsmen have volunteered wage reductions that build ing and wages may go on. Common labor las accepteda reduction and is more steadily on the job than in the war or early readjustment periods.
 What man needs as stimulus to action is the definite, the assured, the fixed quantity Contractors will now figure closely on a piece of work and they will engage to do the work on fixed price. The dread of fluctuation has passed. Men feel solid ground under their feet.
 A young man said yesterday: Cloth ing is certainly a lot cheaper. Say, you can get the best kind of shoes now at \ about half what they cost during the war. The 'bulliest' shirts you ever saw are regu- lar bargains.
 A housekeeper said: II have quit kicking So many things have come down that am losing the art of protesting. Everything to wear and most of the things to eat cost much less think it time that we all quit complaining We do not want the other fellows last nickel"
