Car Works Sniff From Four to Six
 Days q Week Basis

Gadsden, September 2t.-tSpeclal) Notices have been posted at the Gads- den car works stating that beginning this week the entire force would be given six days each week. The car works has been running on four days per week during the recent financial depression and the news that the men will be given full time Is a good in- dication that the country is grad ually getting back to normal,
 One of the noticeable features Is that the local plant was running about 65 per cent capacity while other railroad shops were in most cases completely shut down for sew eral months. The force of the local plant was never cut. but very little, the men taking four days each week in preference to a cut of 70 per cent in the working force late last year. This is the first plan of the Southern system to get back to a normal pro- ductiOn

 The fact that Mir. Buehler came to Ensley and personally selected his store space, and said many compli- mentary things about the future of Birmingham, drew many local oiti- zens to him. Mir. Buehler owned and operated 500 stores in the United States similar to the one In Birming- ham and Ensley.

How to Keep Your Blood
 Pure and Wholesome
the Person With Rich, Red, Normal Bood-The Person of Health and Energy-That Meets With Business

Lowered Vitality Is Usually Due Waste Products in the
 Blood

When your blood is impoverished and loaded with waste products, you don't get the full strength out of your food, and as consequence, you become weak, nervous and cas- fly upset.
 waste products get into the blood mainly through the intestines, but there are other sources-for in stance, the glands. Some glands secrete digestive juices, while others excrete waste products. If they fail to properly function, waste products accumulate.
 As a result, nature strives to cast off the poisons. It may be through the skin in the form of some skin disorder, but 1t is not infrequent for it to settle in the muscles and joints and cause rheumatism.
 For over 50 years, thousands and thousands of men and women have relied on s. s. s. to clear their blood

of waste products. s. s. s. will inn prove the quality of your blood by relieving you of the waste products which cause impoverished blood and it's allied troubles-skin disorders, rheumatism and a lowered vitality.
 The same qualities which give s. s. s. it's beneficial effect in clear ing your blood of waste products make it extremely desirable for keeping your blood in good condi- ton.
 Get s. s. s. at your druggist. Use it strictly according to directions and write Chief Medical Director, Swift Specific Co.,, D-718 s. s. s. Laboratory, Atlanta.

It is believed that the delegation will induce the board of revenue to carry out their suggestion. As 1t is now the street is in deplorable condition. and is considered a menace to pedestrians aa well as automobile owners.
