By JEAN ELIOT.

THINGS are looking up a bit.
There are actually two par

ception which DIR. j. B. Hubrecht,

lands, is giving to celebrate the
silver jubilee of Queen Wilhel-
nina, and Col. and Mrs. Fred
erick Coleman's tendance at tie
Manor Club, which is arranged
in compliment to Major and Mrs.
James "A. Lyon.
1t is perhaps a misnomer to
speak of DR.. Hubrecht's party as
informal in the extreme. The
Netherlands minister, DIR. de
Graeff, is abroad, Nine. HUI
brecht is at her summer home
on Long Island, and Washington
Is still pretty well deserted. Con-
sequently 1t did not seem ad-
visable to arrange any very for
NAL celebration Of the anniversary,
and DR.. Hubrecht will simply
-be at home from to o'clock
at his residence, 2419 Massachu-
sets avenue, to those who wish
to do honor to Hollands Queen.
Tomorrow DIR. Hubrecht will go
to New York, where Nine. HUI
brecht will join him, and they
will take part in the celebration
in st. Nicholas Church, which is
being arranged under the auspices
of the descendants of the old
Knickerbocker families in Man.

Colonel and Mrs. Coleman have
invited some 100 guests TO meet
Major and Mrs. Lyon. They are
entertaining from 5 to o'clock
at the picturesque Manor Club,
where they are spending a few
weeks.
The gardens surrounding the
club have been rifled to deck the
ballroom and the wide verandas,
and the tea table will be decorated
with dahlias and gladioh in shades
of pink and yellow. Mrs. Lyon
will receive with Mrs. Coleman,
and a group iof friends of the
hostess will be pressed into

a section of the county remote from many of the temptations of city and town life and during all of his younger days, he had never been called upon to search diligently for the second ace to pair the one he had in the hole. Poker to him meant something you punched up the fire with. except that in a general way he knew it was against the legal and moral code.
 A short time after he was inau- gurated, a raid was planned on room on Second avenue where off cers believed gambling was going on. The door. of course. was locked, but it required but a couple of shoves of MT. Forman's broad shoul- ders to gain an entrance.
 The players were rather pleasant about the whole performance, how ever, and offered no resistance. The officers began a search of the room, while the players kept their seats.
 In an ante-room Sheriff Forman discovered pile of red, white and blue chips, not of the wooden kind which dotted the wood pile at his rustic home. but, in his own words something he had seen in show win dows but never troubled to inquire about"
 Turnin gto one of his deputies he asked what his find" consisted of and was told they were poker chips. Into his big pockets they went inn mediately as evidence.

Whatever else other Alabama counties may offer in the way of competition among legislators, Nor gan county citizens are willing to dig down in their socks and bet their last dollar that Morgan county has the biggest aw-maker in the whole Montgomery show.
 He is James A. Forman and, stand ing well over six and half feet in height, he weighs 290 pounds. He is former sheriff of the county and absolutely The wears no mans col lar''-even if he. was so inclined, he would never find collar large enough.
 The picture shows Mir. Forman, taken with A. B. Harvey of Albany and Major Charles Bassett, formerly of Albany, but now of Birmingham. Lest the reader faint of astonish- sment when gazing upon the photo graph, Messrs. Harvey. and Bassett are not above the average them selves in size.
 The group was taken when the trio were candidates for the Shrine several years ago, just before the then Sheriff Forman was placed in a cell not of his own choice. and paraded through the principal streets as a carload of fresh meat.
 An interesting story is told of MT Forman's early days as sheriff. He was reared in a Christian home in

IF KIDNEYS ACT

 Water

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney reglon it may mean you have been eating foods which create acids, says we'll known authority An excess of such acids overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, remov- ing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache. dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated. and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous Salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys. also to neutralize acids in the system, so they no longer irritate. thu, often re- lieving bladder weakness.

PLEA IF FARMER SOLONS FOR SHORT.
 SESSION WINS OUT.
Three Emergency Measures Will Be Rushed Through. Tax Commission to Have
 Five Members
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU |
 THE AGE-HERALD

The Alabama legislature will cons plete it's short session in two weeks and will adjourn until early in July. This proposal of the farmer members of the law-making body has reached the sympathetic ears of all members who are speaking on the subject now. There is an indication that the legis- lature will complete it's work in seven more legislative days, which should bring the short session to an end on the night of February 3.
 Emergency legislation can be put through during the next two weeks, and Governor Brandon has requested that only emergency measures be considered during the short session. Only one appropriation will be made before the adjourned session. It will provide funds for the equipment of the state home for feeble minded at Tuscaloosa and a weekly allowance for the maintenance of each inmate of the home.
 Two Emergency Measures
 Only two other measures classed as emergencies are now pending. One creates the state tax commission of five members and provides for the abolition of the county tax adjusters, effective September 30. The other extends the state convict leased sys- tenn until January 1, 1927, and gives the governor the right to cancel the convict leases prior to that time if he believes other profitable employ ment can be found and the financial condition of the state will permit.
 Governor Brandon desires the en- 1arged tax commission and the abo- lition of the tax adjusters. Mem bers of the legislature also demand the abolition of the adjusters and have agreed to remain in session un- til they are abolished. Governor Brandon also has requested the extension of the convict lease system, contending that the financial condition of the state is not such that will permit the abandonment of the system which is putting s1,500,0 900 or more into the state treasury each year.
 Seek Tax Commission
 Alabama will have a new state tax commission by February 15 if the administration plans are perfected on schedule and since the legislature Is overwhelmingly supporting the ad- ministration at this time there is nothing to indicate that the bill pro- viding the new tax commission which was introduced Friday will not be- come law during the next two weeks.
 The new tax commission will be
