COMMUNITY BUILDERS
In .all communities there are citizens who devote their time, .energies
and money to the building of their city; there are citizens who do not de
vote their time, energies and money for the building of their city, but they
devote their time and energies and money to the accumulation of their per
sonal bank accounts and the amassing of fortunes which' are largely derived
from the efforts of other citizens who have spent their lives laboring for the
community. This condition is general throughout the country and some ot
the citizens must be public spirited or else the community would soon grow
less and less until its importance would be of little value to the country.
However, that is a condition that must be faced, if the community is to
build and grow into importance, but It is a condition which is to be deplored
and every citizen should feel that he Is a part of the community and that his
services should be given to the building of the community as much so as the
other citizen who is always active in work of that kind.
It is no unusual occurrence for the men who devote their time to public
enterprise, which all prosper from, to be dubbed a politician or accused of
working for graft, when as a matter of fact his efforts and his work are
enriching some citizens who have not contributed their time or their money
to tbe success of the undertaking. If a merchant is prominent in public
movements and uses his time and energies to further a public movement, it
is often that he is discredited and the one who has never contributed an
hour of his time for the good of the community criticises his brother citizen’s
activities and credits him with being a politician when in reality he is spend
ing his time and money to help that citizen a great deal more than that
which comes to him. It is often the case that when purchases are to he
made, some will direct their trade to other places of business for fear that
they will be criticised for giving their trade to a merchant, who has spent
his life for tbe good of the town, and who has taken a prominent part in the
affairs of his community because he has been termed a politician and there
by his influence controlled the trade. That is an injustice, but it is common
ly practiced in various communities.
To build a great and prosperous city every citizen owes it to himself and
to his community to do his part, be it small or large. His contribution in
time, energies and money should be given in proportion to his ability and.'
that community will stand out as a prosperous and growing community.

USE FOR STATE MILITIA
For years there has been an idea throughout the country that the state
militia was without value and that the members were merely tin soldiers,
ready for parade and not for service.
Within recent years there have been many changes in the organization
and control of the state militia and It has come largely under the federal
control for certain purposes. In this respect it has been made of more real
use than before.
The opportunity has come to test the real efficiency of the national
guard in the different states. President Wilson, unable to cope with the Mex
ican situation with the regulars at his disposal for service in Mexico, has
called out the national guard in three states, Texas, New Mexico and Ari
zona, the three states bordering on Mexico. *
The opportunity is at hand to show whether the national guard can he
made of real service on the firing lipe. The result of this order of the presi
dent will have a real bearing on the discussion now going on in congress as
to the increase in the army strength of the nation.
It is believed that the national guard in the three states named will
make a good showing. They are men who love their country and who are
fired to a great pitch of indignation at the outrages that have been commit
ted on the soil of their native states. They can be relied on to do some
fighting against the Mexicans. One trouble will be in keeping them from
making their fighting general and not confining it to the Villa adherents.
The Mexicans are said to believe that they can whip the United States
if Texas he left out. But Texas has been decidedly put in by this order of
the president, and the Mexicans may step around a little more carefully in
view of that fact.

THE OLD MEETING HOUSE.
They say the church has got too big and rich to worship now
In the old framed meeting-house we’ve used for fifty years; that’s how
It comes about they’re going to tear the old church-house away
And “build a flfty-thousand-dollar-edifi.ee,” they say.
There’s no denying of the fact the old house is decayed
And kind o’ tumbled down and worn, and many a foot has made
Its print'upon the sanded walk that leads up to the door—
The feet of many loved and gone who’ll press that path no more.
“I told my husband that my Tanlac
was out and that I just had to go to
Birmingham to get. me another bottle,
I wouldn’t be without it for any
amount of money, and that is why I
am here today,” said Mrs. H. B. Bar
rett when she called at Jacobs’ drug
store in Birmingham recently to get
her second bottle. Mrs. Barrett re
sides at Republic, a suburb of Bir
mingham, and ts well known. ,
‘I have only taken one bottle of
Tanlac and have gained nine pounds.
Yes, sir, this Tanlac has done me
more good than all the medicines
have ever taken. During the past
fourteen years I have spent more than
31,000 trying to get well of a-com-
pla'int that was gradually sapping my
strength.
For the past four years I have,
lived almost entirely on milk and,
bread and finally that got so it went
against me. -I dared not eat meat or
vegetables of any kind, and if I did,
would suffer for hours afterwards
I had chronic dyspepsia, so I was
told, and nothing prescribed for me
brought any relief. I rarely ever wen 1
to the table, because even the sight
of food or to smell it cooking would
nauseate me. I had a bad taste in
my mouth and nothing I ate tasted
right. I had always been healthy and
a woman who looked after her house
hold duties, but since having this
trouble I got so weak I could not do
my housework and had to have help.
I would have awful pains in my
back and was nervous and could not
sleep well. When I heard of this
Tanlac it sounded so good I thought
I would try it, because I was ready
to try anything that I thought would
help me. I was never so surprised in
my life; it helped me right from the
start, the medicine seemed to take
hold right at once and I could just
feel myself getting better from day
to day. Before I had finished my first
bottle. I got so I could cat anything
put on the table and could hardly
wait for meal time to come. I cer
tainly bless the day I got this medi
cine, for I believe it has added years
to my life. Oh! I feel so much bet
ter and sleep-so much better and am
not nervous like I was . Just think
I have actually gained nine (9)
pounds and feel strong in every way,
‘JMy neighbors were as much sur
prised as I was and they are at my
house every day, telling me how well
I look. I counted up yesterday and
fourteen of them are either taking
Tanlac or will commence taking It
as soon as they can go to Birming
ham and get it. Tanlac is certainly
a wonderful medicine and everybody
out our way is talking about it. You
can put this in the papers if you want
to because I know there are thous
ands of women in the same bad fix
that I had been in for so many years

Sleeping late on rainy mornings

the amount of recovery from work pf

a “bad taste in the mouth,” of much

exactly the same’ reasons people in
mountainous countries sleep much
less on the average than those in the
lowlands.
