II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex.
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
OF sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is piain--the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly TO a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself. as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
prominent druggist says "Take for
example > DR.. Kilmers Swamp. Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, tine success Of DR..

so many people claim, that il fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney.

Presently the door commenced to
reeede before me until it had sunk
into the wall fifty feet. then II stopped
and slid easily TO the left, exposing a
short. narrow corridor of concrete. at
the further end of which was another
door, similar in every respect to the
one l had just passed. No one was
in sight. yet Immediately we passed
the first door it slid gently into place
behind us and receded rapidly to Its
original position IN the front wall of
the building.
A second and n third door receded
before me and slipped to one side as
the first, before l reached a large In
ner chamber where l found food and
drink set out upon a great stone table.
A voice directed me to satisfy my
hunger and to feed my eaot and
While was thus engaged my invisible
host put me through severe and
searching cross-examination.
''Your statements are most remark
able" said the voice, on concluding its
questioning, but you are evidently
speaking the truth, and it is equally
evident that you are not OF Barsoom.

your brain and the strange location OF
your internal organs and the shape
and size of your heart"
Can you see through mel" l ex-
claimed.
YES. can see all but your
thoughts. and We're you Barsoomian

Then a door opened at the far side
of the chamber and a strange, dried
up, little mummy of man came
toward me. He wore but u single ar
tiele of clothing or adornment, n small
collar of gold from which depended
upon his chest great ornament as
large as a dinner plate set solid with
huge diamonds, except for the exact
center, which was occupied by a
strange stone. an inch In diameter,
that scintillated nine different and dis
tinct rays; the seven colors OF our
earthly prism and two beautiful rays
which. to me, were new and nameless.
| cannot describe them any more than
YOU could describe red TO a blind man.
I only know that they were beautiful
in the extreme.
The old man sat and talked with
me for hours, and the strangest part
of our intercourse was that l could
read his every thought while he could
not fathom an iota from my mind I'M
less IlspolSe.
The building In which found my
self contained the machinery which
produces that artificial atmosphere
which sustains life on Mars. The So

the use of the ninth ray. one Of the
beautiful scintllations which / had

This ray is separated from the 9th

adjusted instruments placed upon the

EVERYBODY SEES A
CHANGE IN FATHER
Grateful Son Says His Father
Looks Like Different Man
Since Taking Tanlac.

"My father has suffered from
.hronic stomach trouble for over
twenty years and has paid out thou
sands of dollars for medicines and
doctors" said G. w. Slayton. we'll
anown Cobb County farmer. living a
short distance out of Atlanta, ca.
I'VE tried nearly everything trying
to cure him and he went off to the
Springs, thinking maybe the water
might help him, but it just looked
Ike nothing would reach his trouble.
Then he tried dieting and lived on
liquid food until he almost starved,
but even that failed to do him any
good and he just kept going from bad
to worse
Il don't guess there ever was
case as stubborn as his, and If there
ever was a confirmed dyspeptic he was
one of them, and l guess he would
have been one yet If it hadn't been
for this Tanlac.
THE first we heard of this medi-
cine was when my father saw an adj
vertisement in the papers from parties
he knew in Tennessee, who were
friends of his and he knew what they
said about 1t was the truth, so he got
1t right away and began taking 1t.
Well, sir, it acted just like magic
everybody notices the change in fa-
Their. Why, he is just like a different
man and sits down TO the table and
eats like farmland. Only yesterday
he ate pork and turnlps for his dinner
and ate so much we were actually
afraid he was going to oyerdo the
thing, but he laughed and said nothing
hurt him now and that he was hungry
and expected to eat and make up for
lost time.
Nov, when a medicine will do
things like that think people ought
to know about 1t, and | want to say
right now that l would not give one
bottle of Tanlac for all the other
medicines and health resorts In the
country put together"
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Need nf Auditorium

"The chorus organized for the pur- posc of making a musical background for the semi-centennial is making wonderful progress" said Mrs. W. J. Adams, chairman of the music com mittee for ths semi centennial. What a pity we haven't a large enough hall to accommodate all who can sing with US. Again we feel tho need of an auditorium. Last Thurs day night we had the church audi torium crowded.
 with the coming week we expect to add church choir singers who have not already joined When the semi-centennial is over we hope to continue the chorus to do community work as the Gypsy Smith choir did in Indianapolis. and. while we pos sibly cannot have the complete or ganlzation, we hope that great community chorus will be the out come of the large one which we are going to use for Birmingham's nj 8 birthday party"

HoNKi MONK.

From Leslies.
 The fashion among our younger novelists seems to be resolutely to destroy the peculiar flavor that their elders of the Indiana school have Tor years so lovingly spread over the middle west. A recent vacation hike in southern Wisconsin does, however, suggest that traces of the old order still persist.
 In a walk from Elkhorn to Lau- derdale the main difficulty was found not in the tramp itself. but in refus- ing constant invitations to ride. Car after car drummed up from behind there must have been score of invi- tations in a scant eight miles-the drumming slowed down, and pres ently came the unacceptable How fur you goin'?" or Want a rider" and finally the perplexed. "oh, you want to walk"
 Against this adventure of the Friendly road" are placed a good many of different sort on the roads near New York, and particularly a recent one in the neighborhood ot Oyster Bay. On that tramp we were accompanied by a frail- appearing (it was appearance only) young lady, Il was raining, the road was heavy with mud In stretch of eight miles many cars whizzed past, but none SC much as paused.
 We hazard the opinion that the Wisconsin motorists had not hac their cars so long that they could not easily, envisage the possibility of the man on the road himself having one tomorrow. Most of the people one meets in a similar situation about New York have been used to cars oi their social equivalent long enough | to have come to regard the carless hiker as belonging 10 mere prole- tariat.

The CcIumbiana Eleven

Samuel Benton, Jr., the six-foot, 17-year-old center of the Columbiana football eleven, said: "Bessemer High gave us licking last Friday. but Woodward eleven, which we will play two weeks hence, may look to it's laurels, because we are coming back determined to retrieve our loss
 Interest in the local football teams i'll the small towns like Columbiana is just as great ss in the larger places. Our boys practice every aft- ernoon, and we have the same desire to win. expect we feel even greater interest in our football eleven, be- cause there are fewer other things of interest than in a large city"

What Chnttnnnnna Did

"I am among those who believe that an all-year hotel and resort on Shades mountain is a good proposi ; tion." said o. L. Bum. If Chat tanooga has done it with Signal mountain we can certainly make a go of something really big on Shades. It should be done in a big way, be- cause nothing cheap would pay.
 By the way, l see where the Chat tanooga Automobile club is prepar- ing to make drive for the building of swell hotel on top of Look out mountain. We ought to get busy in Birmingham if we are to reap any benefit from the big automobile travel that is headed this way over the Bee Line highway"

lished false statements in regard to the city's finances and had thus in jured it's credit. Judge Fisher said, "This action is not in harmony with the genius, spirit and objects of our institutions"
 This decision has an important bearing On the newspapers of America. It is d vindication of the freedom of the press" When newspapers can no longer criticize q municipal, state or national govern ment without incurring the penalty of damages a serious blow will be dealt to democratic institutions. 1t is not only the privilege, but the duty, of newspapers to attack what they believe to be the mistakes or the misconduct of public officials.

We have had several delays in completing the arrangements for the big show, but the men who are with me in this work have been working together for quite R while and have developed a good state of efficiency.

Significance of Steel
 Generations Showing

MF great significance is the in- " crease in the thrilled tonnage of the Steel Corporation. While it's order books on October 1 showed only 28,000 tons more of booked but unfinished business, compared with month previous, this increase followed regular decrease in un- filled tonnage that had been going on for IA months. The increase marks the turn; not the turn that is being made, but the turn that has been made.
 The decrease in unified tonnage began in August of 1920, when orders dropped 300,000 tons below those on books in the preceding month. From 11,118,000 tons on books in July, 1920, the unfinished business dropped month by month until in August it had been reduced to 4,531,- 900. At the close of the following month the process had so far re- versed itself that the decrease had been wiped out and the increase of 28,000 tons was shown.
 The Steel Corporation is the lead ing producer of the world. It is the weather vane of the steel business. The state of it's order books reflects not only the condition of the steel trade in this country, but that of other countries scattered over the earth. Hence, when it's order books show an increase in thrilled ton- mage, it is safe to say that the steel trade at lAtas is better than it was.
 Publication of its order book status by the Steel Corporation is one of the most Illuminating modes of keeping the nation posted on big buiness that is extant and serves as a guide to thousands of smaller industries.

CANADA'S WAR VETERANS

William slavens McNutt. in Leslies. ~ ANADA is leading the world
 today in the manner in which " she has turned over her land to be farmed by the men who fought to preserve 1t. She has aided her heroes in molding their swords into plowshares and assisted them in get ting on to the land prosperity in peace, as they wielded the sword to maintain national existence in time of war In peace Canada has seen fit to even loan money to her sons who in time of war loaned their lives 10 the nation has made an in- vestment in the character of those who had the character to render the supreme service in the critical hour. in order that their sacrifice may not be without reward, nor the benefit of their brain, brawn and will to work In any way lost to the country in this period of re-establishment fol- lowing the great change.
 Canada sent 41S,OO0 men to France out of population of approximately S,000,o00. Of these men 60,oo0 paid the great price, about the same num- Der lost by the United States from a population of 110,OOO,OOo. The Canadians suffered 155,0o0 casualties. When the big job was finished Can ada brought back from France S3S,- GOO of her sons who had weathered the storm and were faced with the problem of taking up the burdens of competitive civil life where they had laid them down years before.
 Many of the men who came back wanted to go on the land. How could they get there? A soldier, par ticularly a married man, who had served for years in the army was in no position to buy farm, stock and equip it and wait year for his first monetary return unless he had a considerable private income.
 Canada formed what is known as the soldier settlement board, gov ernment organization, empowered to loan money-actually loan moneyl-- to returned soldiers who were found

quence of the demand and the de- pleted stocks, prices have made rapid advances, southern pine floor ing leading, with an advance of $2O higher than a few weeks ago.
 The Lumberman, summing up trade conditions, says Altogether the situation in the lumber industry is much more encouraging than it has been at any time this year" Of the Pacific coast lumber market, it declares that flor the week ending October 1, manufacturers on the Pacific coast booked more orders than for any other week in near ly two years"
 Even though one pays a little more for lumber, it is distinctly en- couraging to see a great industry getting on it's feet once more. It is decidedly invigorating to stand by and view recovering industries. Cot ton led the way and steel followed. Wire mills will get much of the new cotton money.
 
 Coal and pig iron have made d de- cided recovery over the low mark and lumber is found in stronger position than in two years.

BUILD AGAINST FIRE

l From Farm Life.
 The present day knowledge of the possibilities in building construction
 have advanced to a point where
 building so it won't burn is the easiest of performances. That more freproof buildings are not erected in farm and country is largely due
 to personal indifference and failure
 to recognize that our national fire
 loss of more than $3o0,o0o,eoo is
 purely personal proposition. We will continue to burn up a per capita sum 10 times greater than the per capita fire loss of Europe until we
 learn to build against fire and learn
 to penalize neglect of responsibility
 as they long ago learned to do it abroad
 The sport of burning up more than $1, ,000 a day Is too costly one even for a country as rich as the
 United States to indulge in. Destruc-
 tion of $1,250, 100000 of national re- sources every four years represents
 drain that we cannot forever en-
 dure. And We don't have to. It is true that the rural dweller cannot surround himself with many
 of the safeguards against fire and
 particularly the means of fire fight
 Ing which are always at hand for the city dweller, but since there are fireproof building materials their
 use should not be almost complete
 iy neglected, as Is far too common on the majority of our farms. True, we
 cannot destroy all of our farm build ings and make every farm building group fire-safe one, but as re- pair or replacement becomes neces- sary, construction should be with a view to fire safeness. Gradually then. but surely, we will witness a reduction in fire loss, not to men,
 ton the attendant loss of life, and self-interest should force us into fire safe habits, of which building
 so 1t won't burn" is sure to be the most profitable.

French Telephones Leave
 Much to Be Desired

IA Al EMBERS of the American NVA expeditionary forces who will never forget their experiences with French telephones may be interested in the report that France is to have new telephone directory this year.
 In America where telephone di- rectories are issued at frequent in- tervals, an announcement of that kind would create no excitement, but it is different in France. The latest directory was printed in 1917. It is said that about half the names and addresses arc no longer cor rect, although supplements have been issued from time to time in or der to provide for changes in ad- dresses and new subscribers. Under such conditions it is not surprising that telephoning in France is some thing of an adventure, but rather trying on the nerves of Americans who regard a five-minute wait for telephone connection as test of endurance
 The French people were aston ished by the American telephones which were brought over and in- stalled by Pershing's men. Such service had never been seen before. In time, Paris, as well as London, may have telephone systems that will compare with the average small town exchange in America, but they still have a great deal to learn

Cheering Features of
 Cotton Consumption Report
industries

FF1HE cotton consumption and 4 shipment report for Septem- Der is good. The consumption of cotton was As4,Oo0 bales of lint and 56,000 bales of linters, compared with 457,000 bales of lint and 47,000 bales of linters in September, 1920. Exports were 522,O00 bales com pared with 2Ss,00O a year ago.
 Southern cotton mills consumed 295,0O0 bales in September, com pared with 281,000 a year ago, and active spindles in the south were 15,33S,00 compared with 15,123,o00 year ago.
 Exports have been greater than in 1920 during the past five months, following a decrease in exports month by month between last No- vember and May of this year, when the turn came.
 The statistical element of the cot ton trade is altogether encouraging and that helps in the making of prices much more than the exchange antics of spectators who do not make prices but simply bet on what they think they will be.
