REVOKES PAROLE OF UNUSUAL PRISONER

T. A McWilliams was returned to the state penitentiary yesterday where he will serve the remainder of his 20 year sentence imposed upon him at his trial following his conviction on a charge of assault with intent to murder.
 The parole granted to McWilliams by Gov. Thomas E. Kilby several months ago was revoked when the man was arrested by federal author- ities on a charge of using the malls to defraud.
 Solicitor Joseph R. Tate stated that the man was tried on charge of murder but because the man he killed died In Georgia from wounds in flicted In Jefferson county the death could not legally be proven by the state and the man was convicted of assault with intent to murder a man named Dees. !n March, 1914. According to the solicitor this was one of the most unusual cases ever handled by the court and although the man was dead and his death re- suited from wounds alleged to have been inflicted by McWilliams the state was unable to prove 1t at the trial
 The man remained in the peniten- tiary until February 5, 1921 when he was paroled by the governor. After he was arrested by federal authorities on charge of using the malls to dofraud, Governor Kilby revoked his parole and McWilliams will be re- quired to serve the remainder of his sentence.

NESb|TT SPEAKS
 AT CIVIC FORUM Citizens Urged to Inform Themselves About Govern
 ment by Speakers

Citizens of Birmingham were urged to throw off their cloak of self -sufficiency and inform them selves on what our government really is by w. D. Nesbitt, chairman of the state democratic committee, who ad- dressed the Monday forum of the Civic Association yesterday after noon.
 MT. Nesbitt declared that the rem edy against radical preachings was not to block speech so much as to be able to refute arguments of such speakers. He asked that members of the Civic Association and aN other organizations join in working to learn more about the government.
 S. J. Bowie, former congressman, also spoke, urging the members of the forum to post themselves so that they would know the answer to poisonous doctrines advocated by agitators.
 A committee to cooperate with MT. Nesbitt will be appointed by Dr. R. c. Hershey, chairman of the fo- rum, upon motion of Will Mabry.

WHAT HOLDS
 MEN BACK
IN LIFE. IN MANY CASES. AND MAKES THEM WEAK. NERVOUS AND IRRITABLE WHEN THEY OUGHT TO BE IN
 THEIR VERY PRIME

As men grow older the iron in their blood is apt to thin out and as conse- auence their nerves and will power be- come weakened and they may rapidly lose both bodily and mental vigor. A new York physician says that more than one half the population of America perishes before middle age and that one of the chief contributary causes of this terrible waste of human life Is the devitalizing weakness brought on by lack of sufficient
 iron in the blood. There are 3o.000 ,o00,- ooo.oo red blood corpuscles in your blood and each one must have iron. When your blood is starving for iron. no mere tonics nor stimuants can put you right starv- ing blood must have iron the same as a starving person muct have food--iron is red blood food. But when you take iron be sure to take organic Nuxated iron and not metallic or mineral iron which people usually take Metallic iroh is made mere ly by the action of strong acids on small pieces of iron, while organic Nuxated Iron is like the iron in your blood and like the iron in spinach and apples. It quickly helps make rich red blood and revitaiixes your wornout exhausted nerves. Beware of substitutes. Look for the word ''Nux- ated" on every package and the letters N. |. on every tablet.

Babe May Cross Elm
 Up By Bunting q
 Few Towards Third

New York, June 27.-The sight of Babe Ruth, the home run king, lay ing down a bunt along the third base line is likely to become more familiar to fans around the Amer ican league circuit than heretofore.
 Several clubs have adopted spe- cial defense against the slugger, moving the third baseman toward the shortstop sector, the shortstop to second base, with the second base man playing in short right field. Knowing this, Manager Huggins ana Ruth believe they can cross their opponents with an occasional bunt and succeed in drawing them back into positions making longer hits easier to obtain.

 In fact the public showered noth- ing but praise on the new theatre.
 Constance Talmadge in Lessons in Love" was the opening attraction, and in the opinion of the patrons better selected programme could not have been rendered.
