' ELECTION OFFICERS Service at Polls Is Compul sory Under Laws of the City The election commission, composed of the probate Judge, circuit court clerk and sheriff of Jefferson county and the city clerk of Birmingham have an nounced the appointment of managers, clerks and returning officers for the election to be held in Birmingham, Oc tober 8, to decide who will compose the next commission. The law makes it compulsory for 1 every election officer to serve, and failure to do so is punishable by city ordinance. Polls will open at 8 o’clock and close at 6 o’clock, and in view of the new districting which allows only 300 votes to be cast at one precinct, it*is very likely that the count will be fast and that the winners will be known by 9 o’clock the night of October 8. The list of election officers follows: Precint 9, District 1; Dunn’s Store, BY TAKING TANLAC “I Now Enjoy Better Health Than I Have in Years,” She Declares •I now enjoy better health than I have in years and I can’t refrain from letting: others know how thankful I am for what Tanlac has dene for me,” said Mrs. E. M. Linam, of 2310 Chester street, Little Rock, Ark., recently in one of the most remarkable statements yet pub lished in connection with the “Master Medicine.” “In the winter of 1910,” Mrs. Linam continued, “I was taken with a severe cold, and all the winter I continued to go down. I had no appetite, kept losing weight and in March was completely broken down. I couldn’t sleep for cough ing and had to sit up in bed most all night. I was extremely nervous and weak, and everything I ate soured on my stomach. I fell off 19 pounds and was getting worse so rapidly that my family and friends saw no hope of my re covery. “My husband brought home a bottle of Tanlac in June, 1916, and after 1 took about half of it I began to eat and my food stopped souring on my stomach. At the end of my third week I had gained five and one-half pounds and had Improved until I was able to take a trip to Texas. I kept on taking it until all my troubles were gone and my weight increased from 113 pounds to 140—an actual gain of 27 pounds. I really beiieve Tanlac has saved my life.” Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu sively by Eugene Jacobs' drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company; in Ensley by D. W. Morris Drug company; in Bes semer by Pegram-Patton Drug company, and in North Birmingham by Walker Drug company.—Adv. NEARLY DIED OF PELLAGRA Vied to Pray She’d Paso Away, Bat Happy >imv i.m.u Mrs. Bama. Jacobs, Garnsey, Ala., writes: “I was a constant sufferer from that dreadful pellagra for four Ions years. My case seemed beyond my doc tor's reach and In July, 1910. he said he could do no more for me. I would even find myself praying to die. I suffered so much. Finally my husband ordered a trial of Bauglin's Pellagra Treatment and in three weeks I could see a great change and I am well today. I say to all.

San Francisco’s new museum In Golden Gate park has no windows, being lighted from above. Thus far, only one wlmr of the great building has been completed and thrown open to the public. The cases containing the various groups of birds and animals average 25 feet In length. 12 feet In depth and are 20 feet high. The birds and beasts are all posed in thp natural settings. The background Is done l* *u Of riders there will be a score or more, rhey are said to be the champions of all countries and of all schools of equestrian ism. Trained animal acts will be a feature of this season’s programme. Pallenberg’s Wonder Bears, riding bicycles, skating on roller skates, walking a tight wire, and many other ampsing feats; Madam Brandna’ dog and pony circus; Captain riebor’s seal skin band, composed of Alaskan seals; a troupe of performing cats, rats and dogs and a cbmedy circus of mules, ponies and clowns. ---—--1 High-class aerial performers possess the most thrilling interest for everybody, and In this branch of arenic art the Bar num & Bailey shows are pre-eminently strong. They represent an unparalleled number of the greatest and most venture some and original male and female mid air trapeze, horizontal bar, floating rings and invisible wire experts in the most startling flights, dives, evolutions, catches and combinations. The menagerie of the combined shows is said to be made up of the largest and rarest collection of wild beasts ever ex hibited under canvas. The two-score ele phants embrace the collection said to be the wonder of the zoological world. Mer riment Tor the little ones will be fur nished by clowns without number, who will be busy throughout the entire per formance. There will be many other at tractions to bewilder and delight. Three enormous tents are necessary for the accommodation of the 700 horses w’tth I the Barnum & Bailey circus. The staoie occupied by the heavy Percheron and Clydesdale draft horses Is a model of equine neatness, while the Arabian thoroughbreds and the ring stock occupy luxurious quarters in separate tents. After all, the great attraction of the cir cus is the horse. To give a circus with out horses would be like giving an opera without music. It is the life and anima tion of the horse, together with the beau ty and intelligence of the animal, that lends as much charm and pleasure to the exploits of the sawdust ring, as the grace and dash of the rider. This exhibi tion of beautiful horses is a feature of the free street parade, which the pres ent management of the Barnum & Bailey show will give during Monday morning. DENT OF ALABAMA MAY GO TO “SEE” WAG IN FRANCE Washington. September 22.—(Special.) Representative Hubert S. Dent of Ala bama, chairman of the military affair3 committee, may be on the French front within a month, familiarizing himself with modern warfare conditions. The House plans to accept the invi tation 6f the English and French gov ernment to send a congressional delega tion abroad, the only question being the number of members who shall go. Re gardless of how many members are chosen, however, the Alabamian will he among their number, as leader of the most important committee dealing w'ith the prosecution of the war. Members gen erally are agreed that Chairman Dent shall become thoroughly posted on con ditions In France. Mr. Dent stated today that he will go if he is designated, as he Is too anx ious to learn conditions as they are, so he can more intelligently recommend military legislation to his associates. “PUIUTY AT PARKEE'.«1W The C onvenient Corner Autumn Flowers Blooming for Us Carnations and mums are coming in, and the fall roses are putting on their beauty.
