5,OO0-TON ORDER FOR PIPE WAKES
 THE IRON MARKET
Five e-DoIIar Drop In Price Causes Cities to Place Con- tracts-Detroit Figur-
 ing on 10000 Tons

High pressure cast iron pipe trade was awakened from its lethargy this week by the sale of 5000 tons to the city of Phoenix, Ariz.
 Sizes include as high as 24 and 30 inches. Order was taken by the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company, and the pipe will be made in the district shops at Bes- semer, North Birmingham and An niston.
 Price Drops
 High pressure pipe base was re- ccntly reduced from a nominal of s55 to $45. This caused renewed ef- fort on the part of some municipali- ties to place orders coming within their bond issues. Phenix has broken the ice, and Detroit. which is in the market for about 10000 tons, is ex- pected to come in next
 Coincident with the Phenix pipe order, it is known that several thou sand tons of pig iron have been sold 10 pipe makers by Alabama furnaces during the past week. Exact extent of the business done is not known, but it is gradually coming 10 She fore, and the total may prove an agreeable surprise, coming, as it dces, just at the time pig iron ap- peared to have gone to sleep per manently.
 Wakes Iron Market
 High pressure pipe makers are the largest users of Birmingham iron. Every order taken by them for pipe means like tonnage of pig iron.
 The iron market was feeling bet ter yesterday than in long time.
 Buying of pipe and pig iron simul- taneously is the first real optimistic event in the iron circles in many weeks.

 Not all of the relief work for the unemployed is sad and gloomy, according to employees in the city welfare department at the city hall. A bright side is furnished. they say, by the most amusing and unexpected answers that colored applicants for the orders being distributed give to the interviewers held before sup plies are given.
 Not the least odd are the names of their families given by some. A Among them are such names al Honey, Sugar, "Roosefelt' "Silverine", Pie" Boss" Cfemi- nine) Julius Caesar, 'Lucifer" Napoleon. Dock. President. and numerous others. The Rose felts" and Julius Caesars" are the most popular. with Roose- felt running slight majority ov- CT the mighty Roman.
 One applicant had two daugh- ters named Willie Mae, one eight teen years old and the other ten. Tn another case a proud father who claimed twins, boy and girl about fifteen years old, worked up a mystery for the questioners by the explanation that only one of the twins was his, the other was his wife's. Further questioning revealed the fact that the aforesaid twins were not really twins, but only the same age, half sister and brother. the applicant and his wife both having been married previously. Why they were call cd twins remains unex xplaiied.
 An applicant who answered six to number of children" went on to remark that there were really eight. Twins were born last week but jest don't count them in." he said, sthey's sech weasley little things they's likely to die most eny minute"
 A new wrinkle in matrimonia tribulatiors was furnished by one applicant for himself and chil- dreen. He didn't include his wife. he said, because me and her has dissoyled friendship"
 In reality there are many cases Of real suffering and hardship among these applicants. Many have been out of work as long as six months. Some owe sever al months back rent and are out of sunnlies of any kind.

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like
the bowels, get sluggish and ciogged and
need flushing occasionally, else we have
backache and duh misery in the kidney
region, severe headaches, rheumatic
twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, Sleep
lessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and'clean, and the moment you feel
an ache or pain in the kidney region, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from any
good drug store here, take tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys win then act
fine. This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and is harmless to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them to
normal activity. 1t also neutralizes the
acids in the urine SO it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders
Jad Salts is harmless inexpensive ;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should take
now and then TO keep their kidneys clean,
thus avoiding serious complications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts TO folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble while it is
only trouble.-Adv.

commission would license all bond-selling
concerns, and at its discretion withhold
consent as regards the sale or offering
