If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon forgot
ten! The reason is plain-the article
did not fulfill the promises of the
manufacturer. This applies more par
ticularly to medicine. A medicinal
preparation that has real curative
value almost sells itself, as like an
endless chain system, the remedy is
recommended by those who have
been benefited, to those who are in
need of il.
A prominent druggist says. Take
for example DR.. K:iEicr's Swamp
Root, preparation l have sold for
many years and never hesitate to re-
commend, for in almost every case
ii shows excellent results, as many of
my customers testify. No otlier kid
dey remedy has so large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands WHO
have used the preparation, tho sue
cess of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root IS
due to the fact, so many people claim,
that it fulflls almost every wish IN
overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der ailments, corrects urinary trou-
bles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Adj

WASHINGTON. Jan lS.-One or
the interesting developments in the
United States Navy as the result of
wartime experience was the building
up OF salvage service, designed to
aid in the saving of wrecked ships
and the recovery of cargoes and val
liable ships gear. When the coun-
try entered the World War the Navy
possessed no regular salvage service,
although collections OF salvaging ma
chinery had been made at several de-
pots, and apparatus had been brought
to a high degree of efficiency. But
this was used mostly in connection
with experimental work in firing at
various targets Stimulating vessels.
However, when the gathering of
United States vessels. large and
small. in European harhors resulted
in many incidental minor accidents,
and the operations of enemy submar-
ines called for equipment TO save cost
ly beats and their cargQes. the Navy
was quick TO build up Service which
not only soon repaid the cost If or
ganization, but has since resulted in
great savings.
Salvage Stations Established
The first step the Navy took was
the establishment of salvage Sec
ton of the Bureau OF Construction
md Repair, drawing personnel and
equipment from private salvaging
companies Salvage stations were es-
tablished along the Atlantic Coast by
the taking over of many private con-
Germs, and by August. 1917, a salvage
unit had arrived in France. This con-
sisted of the Nayy's first salvage yes
sci, the L. S. s. Fayorite, twelve
hundred ton ship equipped with the
finest tools and machinery for recov-
ering wrecked vessels. She wa
stocked with diving apparatus, recon-
preston chamber pumps, and cutting
md welding tools for both underwa-
.er and surface work. A PISTON der
rick was amidships.
Immediately upon her arrival in
France she started salvaging opera
ions that kept her busy with not an
die day for eighteen months. Her
work consisted in pulling boats. large
md small, off the beaches. raising
hem off the bottom, rescuing torpe-
loed ships and towing disabled ships
o port. The vessel played an inn
>ortant part in repairing the trans
port Mt. Vernon, which was torpedoed
after leaving Brest, and then placed

my one of the vessels the salvage
ship rescued resulted in saving more
han the cost of outfitting and main
tanning her.

Performed Difficult Feat

This vessel was shortly joined by
.wo others, the Chesapeake and the
Mamma Hata, all equipped with the
most modern gear, and though they
continued to do their valuable work
for many months, it was not a spec
tacular task and the men who i'm
perilled their lives received little
recognition. One of the important
feats they accomplished was the sal
wage of the British vessel Narragan-
sett, after the attempt had been given
up by the British The American
ships came along with advice and
equipment that made a success of
what had appeared hopeless task.
The Favorite. while in France, was
the most complete and modern sal
wage vessel ever sent out. and attract
ed the attention and Investigations of
the foremost European shipping ma
tons. In the fall of 1919, all salvag-
ing operations having closed, the
Favorite returned home, and the other
two ships were sold to a British sal
wage concern with full equipment.
The forruer then was placed in IT,,
service of the Panama Canal, where
she is now doing heroic work.
Saved The "Caribbean"
However, the wartime experience
showed the Navy the need of such
vessels, so two were equipped especi-
ally for the purpose, the Falcon and
the Widgeon. They are comparative

BIG TOWN NEWSIES. SELF SUFFICIENT
Christmas Celebration Re- veaIs New Type In Place
 Of Ragged Waifs
By wESTBROOK PEGLER Leased Wire to The Age-Hcrald)


 NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-The thin- faced, ragged street waif, who used to pick up an old gents plug hat and discover his long-lost rich uncle in the last chapter of Horatio Algers New York Newsboy Stories, has dis appeared from the social scheme of the metropolis. In his place at the Brace Memorial Newsboys home on Christmas Day there were 75 young capitalists, all well nourished and looking more like the conventional ake-eater than the conventional newsboy.~
 The Brace Memorial Is on Chambers street where the remnants of New York's old newspaper row are still to be found, most of the old papers hav ing moved to new homes in recent years. The neighborhood has changed much since the man who hid his identity under the nom de plume of Alger wrote those stories which sold into the millions and were read on the long winter nights by thousands of American boys a generation ago. However, the home has changed but little and at the occasional reunions there are men present as alumni of the streets who have made wealth and risen high in the world since they quit selling 'fblossoms." The short lived "extras" were so-called on the row 20 years back, because they faded so quickly.
 Gov. Al Smith has attended some of these remlniscence meetings as sort of honorary alumnus because he was born and grew to young manhood on Oliver street, a few short blocks away and counted several of the newsies from the home among his boyhood friends.
 We'll to -do- persons calling at the home on Christmas Day, full of cheer and the charitable afflatus, found little if any outlet for their largess, They came upon self-confident com- pany of youths all of whom regard themselves as business men and didn't { seem to care if all the long lost rich uncles in the world should stay lost forever. They sang swift songs from the musical comedies now current on Broadway with such assurance and familiarity as to indicate that they all attend the more expensive attrac- tions quite regularly. Then they had their Christmas dinner in blaser, dig nifty indicating that the sight of a drumsticlS and cranberry sauce is no longer one to make the eyes of q newsboy pop out and the tongue babble exeitedly
 The final touch, to prove that the newsboy is no longer the one that Niger wrote about came when a spokesman for the class addressed William Butcher. superintendent of the home. It wasn't a red apple that they gave him this year. but a very expensive set of cuff links and an imported walking stick.

.BLOODLESS BATTLE
 AT FILLING STATION
Unknown Men Open Fire At Op-
 eratOr On South Side

Ebert Alston operator at fill- ing station for tho Gulf Refining company Magnolia avenue and Twenty second street, south, engaged in a gun battle with five men in Ford car about 10 o'clock Tuesday night. Approximately score of shots were exchanged in the battle without anyone being hurt ap- parently.
 According to the story told by Az ston. he had driven a man out of the office at the station Monday evening. Two ladies were in the office at the time using the telephone. Alston stated that the man entered the of flee in a drunken condition and at tempted to draw the ladies into con versation. Aston told him to get out and be became profane when Alston put him out, He is alleged to have told Aston that he would come back and get him.
 Tuesday evening a Ford car drove up to the door of the office and All ston went out, thinking it was GUS toner. As he stepped out of the of flee, he stated, one of the men in the car called to him that he had come back to settle with him, and commenced firing. Aston said that he jumped back into the office and grabbed a gun and running outside began shooting back.
 The car started off the men fir ing back at Aston and Aston emptied his pistol at them. One of his shots smashed the windshield on the car. Thirteen bullet holes were found in the walls and ceiling of the station. The glass in the front door and one glass in the window in front of Alston's desk were shat tered by bullets from the fleeing car.
 Aston told Call Officers Ellzey and flames that he could identify the man who did the talking. Detectives were assigned to the case and ar rests are expected Wednesday.

REV. [, r. CORLEY D|ES IN bESSEMER R
Few Knew Of His Dangerous Illness Which Developed
 Monday Night
BESSEMEE BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERAs,D !


 Rev. E. F. Corley, 33, died Tuesday morning at the Baptist hospital after short illness of pneumonia. Though his condition was regarded as seri- ous. few of his large circle of friends knew of his dangerous illness, which had developed in the last few hours before his death. Following the an- nouncement early Tuesday that he had developed double pneumonia, lit tie hope was felt for his recovery.
 Rev. Corley had long been con nected with the Christian church in this state, and was for a short time pastor of the Bessemer church, in the absence of a regular pastor. In this capacity he had won a large follow ing of close personal friends here, and he was also well known in other Alabama towns where he had preached.
 About one year ago he resigned his position with the Bessemer church and for the past several months had devoted all of his time to his work as travelling salesman for a whole sale tailoring concrn.
 The body will be sent to Camp Hill, Ala, by Johns early Wednesday morning over the Central of Georgia, where burial will take place In the family plot. The deceased is survived by his mother, a sister, his widow and three children.
