THE TRAINED NURSE
An Occupation Which Attracts
Many Refined Girls.

Many girls of education and refine
ment are turning to the profession of
trained nurse as means of liveli-
hood. It is a serious occupation
and responsible one, tor the word
of an experienced nurse carries
great weight in matters relating to
her profession. It is this fact that
prompted an interesting interview
with Miss Kathryn Nash, of North
and Plattsburg avenues, Burlington,
VT, published in the News OF that
city. To reporter she said:
81 had been caring for a patient
steadily for nine months without
rest and was run down and tired.
I had very little appetite and some
times I would skip one or two meals
and not feel it at all. While visit
ing in Boston an abcess formed back
OF my ear. I had no strength, and
although I was always drowsy sleep
did not seem to refresh me- After
l came home I had seven abcesses on
my back near the waist line and was
unable to sit up much for three or
four months. The doctors who
treated me said I had blood poisoning
from which I would never recover"
"That must have been very dis
couraging," said the reporter.
1t was. It took all the ambition
out of me for awhile. But one day,
when I was feeling particularly des-
pondent, friend advised me to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. She was taking them with
benefit and thought they might also
help me. / bought some at once and
before / had used one box of the pills
found l was gaining strength. My
appetite and digestion improved and
felt rested after sleeping, instead of
being tired as was formerly. soon
became entirely we'll and able to re-
sumo my duties. +"
''Then you believe the Pink Pills
cured your"
ST am certain they did, and I in
tend to keep DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People by me all the time,
SO that I can take them if needed. /
recommend them to my patients as
well as to every one who is suffering

I count him great man who inhab-

which other men rise with labor and
difficulty. He has but to open his eyes
to see things in true light and in

painful corrections and keep vigilant
eye on many sources of error.
He is a great man who is what he is

Why?

An anecdote Is told of an Englishman,
travelling through the interior of Cali
fornia in company with resident Of
this State, that is characteristic Of the
racial difference in mental processes.
The Englishman was deeply interested
in everything he saw, and asked many
questions. Espying bush with bright
red leaves by the roadside, he inquired
what 1t was.
"Poison oak" was the brief reply.
"Bless me-" said the Englishman,
"but is it really poisonous?"
"Well, a man had better not wallow
in II" replied the Californian. The En-
glishman was silent for an unusual
length of time, evidently in deep
thought. Then he broke out:
But, say, you know, why should a
man want to wallow in it?"

msnt be discriminated against. In other words. that people outside of town were % have 8 free delivery of their mail while the people In Bessemer were not Ne are now informed that such is a fact, that this so-called rural delivery does not apply to Bessemer, but 1t does to sloss and East End and Jonesboro and Brigh- ton. This Is a very pretty development of the matter. Bessemer Is to derive no benefit from Uncle sam's free delivery It is exclusively for the benefit of those whose good fortune it is to live outslae of the city limits.
 This is indeed a predicament-one' too, that Congressman Underwood ls wholly innocent of, for he cannot over ride the law. Bessemer is at once too big for rural free delivery and too little for delivery by carriers our prosperous neighbor in the south end of the county does not know what to do about 1t. The federal laws do not fit its present size at all, and 1t can not readily cut down its population or suddenly increase it.
 Bessemer naturally does not relish the situation. In the words Of the Weekly, 1t is discrimination with yenegeance. and Bessemer is in- clined to kick against it. There is, however, this relief in sight-a little more growth and expansion in it's postal business will entitle Bessemer to carriers, and this is the only solu- tion that the laws at present afford, or are likely to afford. Another big mill or two will solve the problem, and The Age-Herald hopes Bessemer will get more than one or two big mills within a years time.

HE only DAILY nIwspApER IN ALABAMA
MlIl TakInos North and South.

Secretary Hester's cotton report puts the consumption of the Northern cotton mills in the year just ended at 2,050,000 bales; of the Southern cot ton mills at 1,6s0,931 bales. The South ern mills took 2s,S00 more bales than they did in the previous year. This increase would have been much greater if the demand from China for coarse cottons had not been cut down by war and internal commotions. How ever, the southern mills did well be- cause they increased their consump- tion. while the consumption of North ern mills was reduced.
 But why should Fall River and other distant towns that would not know cotton patch if they should see one, do more cotton manufacturing than the cotton states do? This question would tire any one to answer satisfac- torily. The advantages Of raw mate rial. labor, fuel and cheap living are all on the side of the South, and yet the far North spins over twenty per cent more cotton. This should not be-. The mills of the South should be in creased. The mills of Alabama should be doubled in number. Instead of one at Huntsville we should have dozen of them. The county towns of coun- ties without cotton mill should wake up.
 But the Northern mills should keer on spinning, for out of crop amount ing to 10,383,422 tales only 3,680,931 bales were spun in this country-ol a. ut one-third of the crop. Why should Europe, India, Japan and Mex leo be permitted to spin two-thirds oi and prudence they should not be per mitted to spin a bale. Foreign mills should be compelled to take American cotton in the form of yarns or let 1t alone. And this is why there should be more spindles in Fall River as well as in Huntsville. The number of American spindies should be trebled, and they assuredly will be. The task of spinning the crop is too heavy for Southern shoulders alone, and the aid of Northern spinnefs should be in vited, not repelled. America should spin it's own crop.
