HELP GROWTH OF CHILDREN.
Certain Hygienic Principles Which
Must Not BE DisreRarded.

Certain Hygienic Principles Which
Must Not BE Disregarded.
The question of how to make children
grow has been often asked, but until
recently no specialist has gone deeply
enough into the subject to be able to
give a satisfactory answer.
French specialist who has lately
investigated the subject says:
THE chief reason which urged me to
investigate the matter was the discov-
cry OF the fact that recent statistics
have proved that the majority of
French people are below the normal
stature.
1.-THE first essential to child growth
is fresh air Indeed, children cannot
have too much Of II. So many mothers
are afraid TO allow their children to go
out of doors If there Is the least suspi-
cion of rain, cold or wind They do not
realize that by keeping the little ones
indoors they are depriylng them OF the
glorious fresh air that would strength
en- their little frames and help them to
withstand the cold and damp and cut
ting winds that are responsible for so
many troubles. If children are to grow
properly they must not only lnhale as
much fresh air as possible In the day
time, but at night also. Their bedroom
windows must be kept open so that the
air is constantly renewed. For, strange
though it may appear. child needs
much larger quantity of oxygen than
man. The air Of sleeping apartments
is easily polluted, and nothing tends to
lessen growth so quickly as the con-
slant inhalation Of impure air"

Stories about the dolngs of newly
appointed postmasters in the rural
districts Of the far West continue to
accumulate. Here Is one, borrowed
from Harper's Bazaar;
A new postoffice was established In a
small village away out West, and a
native Of the soil was appointed post
master. After a while complaints were
made that no mail was sent out from
the new office, and an inspector was
sent to inquire into the matter.
He called upon the postmaster, and
stating the cause of his visit, asked
why no mail had been sent out. The
postmaster pointed to big and nearly
empty mailbag hanging up In a cor.
ner. and said:
"well, amt sent 1t out cause the baa

BOURKE COCHRAN IN THE CAMPAIGN <t Says He Will Support Bryan if a Good Platform is
 Adopted.

Montgomery, May 10.-"It has been said that l shall support Bryan if he is the democratic nominee for president" said w. Bourke Cochran, who spoke here tonight at the race conference. That depends, I say frankly, upon the Kansas City plat form and the spirit in which it is submit ted to the American people. If that plat form is only reiteration of the platform of 1896 I shall not support it or the nomi- nee. l am unutterably opposed to the Me- Kinley administration. I oppose militar- ism. l oppose imperialism. I oppose . trusts. If the platform takes a decided form in opposing these questions and the spirit is in favor of making them predom- nant, I shall support it, and do all Lean in my state for the ticket. Otherwise I will not.
 'I consider these questions the issue of the campaign. The money plank, if it must, can remain the same as in 1S96 be- cause it is impossible to make it effective, and the other issues graver and far more important from the standpoint of present conditions. As to New York state, I can say nothing, for I am there only private citizen"

BESSEMER.

Bessemer, May 1O.-(Special )-Rosa, the little 1O-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. w l.. Delaney died this morning at 10 o'clock. The little girl, who had been ill tut few days, was a beautiful child and idolized by the members of her family. Her death was doubly sad because almost entirely unexpected. The funeral will take place tomorrow. The hour has not yet been set.
 The Charleston block the largest busi- ness block in Bessemer, was sold today to Steiner Bros, of Birmingham, the con Sideration not being known. The block is one of the finest in the state having been built about twelve years ago by a com pany of Charleston, s. C., capitalists, at a cost of $125000 It is situated in Second avenue between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, is four stories high and has a frontage of 300 feet. It is understood that the new owners will thoroughly repair and improve the building. The property was serious loss to the former owners, as it was never fully occupied, being unfortu- nately situated. At this time not more than one-half of the store rooms are ten- anted. Second avenue however, leading south, is being rapidly built up, and the stores will prove among the most desira- ble in town.
 The Commercial club was reorganzed last night with the following officers: President, w. S. Winters; first vice-presi- dent, A. J. Lewis; second vice-presdent, H. w. Crook; secretary and treasurer, s. E. Jones; executive committee, T. T. Huey, William H. H. Judson, w. J. Long, N. Schwabacher T. J., Cornwell, E. H. Lopez, l.. E. Bruns. There was little done at the meeting except the organization, but the members are determined that the club shall be instrumental in upbuilding the city and bringing many ne industries here, and do not intend to let enthus- iasm die out.
