military service in some form. All
cannot take up arms, but every in
dividual who realizes his duty as a
citizen can, through some agency,
help maintain national preparedness.
THE American Legion should re-
alize that the great conflict OUT of
which it was born imposes upon it.
as it's sacred duty, the perpetuat ton
OF the lessons learned by its mem
bers through their experiences dur
ing the war. AS an organization, the
American Legion should preach and
teach the doctrine of adequate mil
itary preparedness. The Legion
, should take advantage of the ma
tional guard to impart to the coming
generation the value of the training
received in actual conflicts and to
impress upon the American public the
necessity of avoiding the mistakes of
the past war by profiting by ex
perience.
Importance OF Cooperation
at seems that it is the duty OF
the strongest civic organization in
their effort to stimulate business by
cooperation, mutual service, honesty
| in advertising, etc, to consider Sc
riously the steps to be taken in pro-
viding adequate protection for the
business interests of the community.
| 1t is imperative that the public be
| insured against the interruption of
transportation and commerce and
that all provisions possible be made
| for the continuance of prosperity. In
other words the national guard aues-
ton vitality affects every phase of
our economic existence. and there
| fore should not be allowed to go
neglected 1t is a question that
should be considered at the regular
meetings of the Chamber of Com
merce, Board of Trade, City Commits
sion, Rotary, Kiwanis and similar
organizations, the duty OF which is
tho consideration and solution of all
problems vitality effecting the des-
| tiny of the nation. There is no ques-
| ton more vital and no problem more
complex than that of military pre-
| paredness.
"The national guard of iBrmlng-
ham has before it three detectives.
First. the people of Birmingham
must be educated to the needs of the
guard Second, the old postoefice
must be converted into the best
equipped, most modern armory in
the south. 1t Is only through hous-
ing the national guard units In an
attractive armory that we can ex-
pect best results. Third, the young
men of this community must be In
6uced for their own good and for
the good of the community, to serve
at least one period of three years
in the national guard of the state.
Since the World war, hundreds of the
finest soldier material the world
has ever seen have located in this
community. These men are WITHIN
reach. They are an asset of lncai-
culabIe value. They only, can make
the guard a success. With these
three things accomplished we Will
have succeeded in our ambition to
build up within Birmingham ma
tional guard force worthy of the city,
capable of protecting the interests
OF nation, state and city, and one
which will live up to the wonderful
tradition by national guard units OF
Alabama of the past.

This Remedy For
My Own Neighbors
Their praise of this newer form of iron
has spread rapidly that now,
after nine years, over 100000
people 1t annually.

Years ago / began to wonder at the
great number of my own friends and
neighbors who were always ailing, COM
planning and doctoring, without ever
seeming to get any better. Both working
men and their wives were frequently all
tired out in the evening, and great many
were weak. nervous and rundown. One
had pains in the back and thought he
had kidney trouble. Another had pains
around the heart. palptation and dizzi-
ness. and was sure he was suffering from
heart disease. Still others had severe
headaches. floating spots before the eyes
tender spots along the spine and great
variety of alarming symptoms.

condition. consulting a great number of
physicians and chemists. An immense

neople out of every four you meet lack
100 per cent iron in their blood. Lack of
iron in the blood is the greatest of all
devitalizing weaknesses. II is the iron in
your blood that enables you to get the
nourishment out of your food. Without
iron. nothing you eat does you any good.
Your heart. lungs and kidneys and all of
your vital organs get their nourishment
from the blood stream. and when the
blood lacks iron and is thin, pale and
watery, you may suffer from the symp-

is = lack of iron in the blood
