ing order, and by the prevention of the
absorption of more impurity in the food.
Depuration is accomplished by the sun
bath and the foot roast, nutrition by the
use of proper foods and the action of
sand and water through the bowels, and
circulation is also stimulated by the sun
bath and the foot roast In the summer
time, if the action of depuration can be
augmented by barefooted walks on fresh
soil and clay the cure will be all the more
certain and effective. 4
I would strongly advise removal to a
warm southern climate, where the con-
ditions are more in harmony with your
temperament, and where the possibilities
of following this advice will not be inter-
fered with by the rigors of an Indiana
winter.
with best wishes for your continued
advancement in health and prosperity, ]

Great Chalk Deposit.

Black & Winters of Fort Smith write the Manufacturers Record as follows:
 We have acquired an interest in 10000 acres of land grouped around Foreman and Old Rocky Comfort, in Little River County. These lands embrace the princi. pal part of the famous chalk beds in said county. These chalk beds have been drilled to a depth of 800 feet, and are reported by the government geological survey to be almost pure white chalk, pur- CT and better than the chalk from which the famous Portland ce- ment of England is made This is the largest and purest chalk de- posit known in the world, and the only one yet discovered in the United States. We expect to interest experienced gas and oil men in prospecting for abundant and cheap fuel, which, if found on or near the chalk fields, will make this the greatest cement manufacturing center in the United States, because we have an ineXhaustible supply of chalk, pronounced by the government survey to be S5 to 94 per cent pure.

ing effect. Acting Governor Pindall stated tonight that he will address a communication to Attorney General Kirby tomor- row for an opinion as to whether or not a member of the legisla- ture can serve as a member on the St. Frances levee board. In the event the attorney general decides in the negative, the gov. ernor says he will not insist upon the retention of Mr. Simpson as secretary of the university board, and will be satisfied with the selection of any other competent man, provided Hugh Reagan, the recently defeated secretary is not reinstated. Gov. Pindall says he will not forego any per. SOnal choice on the university board, providing in so doing he can get the scalp of a certain legislator who was recently placed on the St. Francis levee board. Interesting develop inents are expected in state DO. litical circles in the near future.

 Suppose other citizens do the same. What if it is the town S place to cut the weeds? They havn t the force nor the funds with which to accomplish this result. And what to you would be a small matter would to 1t be a gigantic undertaking.
 The News and everybody in town will watch closely to see -who will be the next generous citizen to become the man with the hoe.

HEAVY RAINFALL
 ABOUT BIRMINGHAM
ATTENDANCE AT CHURCHES IS SMALL = STREETS DESERTED. GIRLS DROWNING AT ELYToN THE ONLY FATALITY.

Jupiter Pluvius turned on the spigot to his private stock early Saturday morning and at an early hour this morning had failed to turn 1t off As a result of the old gentleman's fortgetfulness Birming- ham and vicinity have received severe drenching during the last two days. The ground has the appearance of an over soaked sponge. The numerous storm dltches around the city have oyerran their banks, flooding the immediate yi- clnity, in several instances making lake several hundred yards wide
 The rainy Cunday had it's usual effect on the attendance at the churches and congregations were small as a rule. Only a very small percentage of the people were brave enough to face the clements. when they could remain inside and the streets in the business part of town pre- sented a very lonely appearance.
 No great damage as a result of the heavy rainstorm has been learned The only fatality reported was the death of little negro girl in the Elyton canal, who was drowned Saturday afternoon by the breaking of an lmproyised foot-bridge precipitating her into the stream.

GOVERNOR GOES
 TO LEEDS TODAY
HIGH SCHOOL LOCATING BOARD MEETS THEN-GoVERNO AND GENERAL BRANDON IN THE cITY-RAILRoAD CASES.

The High school locating board of the state, consisting of Governor B. B. Com CT, Auditor w. W. Brandon and Superin- tendent of Education Harry c. Gunnels. will visit Leeds, in this county, today, and hear petitions of those desiring a high school located in that city.
 Of the locating board, Governor Conner and Auditor Brandon were in Birming- ham yesterday and will leave together for Leeds this morning. They will be later joined by MT. Gunnels.
 Governor Conner was indisposed last night when an effort was made to obtain an interview relative to the railroad lit- igation in the federal court. which be- gins next Monday. As is known, the Louisville and Nashville and one or more other lines have enjoined the state from enforcing the laws of the legislature, and the state will make answer to the fed eral court injunction Monday. While several reports have been heard, noth- ing definite is known as to what action the state will take in the matter. It is confidently expected, however, that the cases will ultimately go to the supreme court of the United States

 ELECTION TOPIC IN THE SUBURBS
GREATER BIRMINGHAM ELECTION
 NEXT MONDAY OF GREAT lN- TEREST TO OUTSIDE TERRI ToRY-BlR RMINGHAM .APATHETiC

One week from today the qualified voters in the district included in the proposed Greater Birmingham will have a chance to express their opinion on the subject by the casting of their ballot. Every man who was competent to vote in the prohibition election will be eompe- tent to vote in the Greater Birmingham election The polls will not be according tc the regular voting precincts, but there will be a voting place in each corporation or community.
 A campaign committee of 90 will be at the polls on next Monday to work for Greater Birmingham, It is expected that the outside boxes will poll a heavy vote. The Birmingham registration is greater than that of the outside towns, and it is believed the town is solid for the great CT city. The fear is expressed by the campaign committee, however, that Blr- mingham voters are not taking much in- terest in the election and that this lack of interest is apt to spell defeat for 8 population of 900 for the Magic city Of the south.
 There will be about 20 voting places and the ballots will read For Greater Br- mingham," and Against Greater Bir- mingham.'' The entire territory votes as a unit and if one box is against an- nexation and the others give majority, that town would have to come in.
 North Birmingham has probably been the town where Greater Birmingham has received the most discussion. The town has been divided against itself on the subject and the "anti-annexatonists' have been active In their protest against coming into Birmingham This box will undoubtedly be closely contested.
 East Lake is conceded to Greater Bir- mingham by a large majority, while Ayondale and Woodawn will undoubted- ly give a good vote for annexation. West End, Elyton, Graymont and Fairview ap- pear to be about evenly divided on the subject although several bad fires In West End recently has aroused a desire for a fire department among some of the citizens of that corporation.
 Next Monday, January G. will be great day in the history of Birmingham and the Greater Birmingham campaign com mittee has announced it's intention of making it "the epoch which shall mark ern cities.'

 Senator Johnston, 1t was learned last night will not return to Birmingham until final adjournment. Although he has been in Washington but sevaral weeks, he has instantly sprung into great favor as an afterdinner and ban quet speaker.

.EVENTFUL WEEK
 FOR BIRMINGHAM Closing of Saloons and Police
 Commission Meeting 1900 MEN LOSE JOBS Dawn of Prohibition-Who Will Be chlef7-city Council Meets.
 High License and Street
 Tax Probable.

The dawn has broken on one of the most eventful weeks of 19O7-190S With the new year for it's center, it has brought group of the greatest changes that Bir- mingham has known for many months.
 While the suns rays are as yet but gray streaks, high above the eastern horizon, it is believed, in fact, confident ly expected, that they will soon chase away all the dark shadows of financial troubles and bring money into 'easy" circulation under the light of full day. The week will see the last days of whisky and the first days of prohibition. The first few days may see final glorious drunk" and the last. sober sobering up. Before January several thousand gallons of wine and liquors will be turned loose at bargain prices.
 On January 1 fully 15Oo men will be thrown out of positions as bartenders, proprietors of saloons, clerks and porters. The men will be forced to look for new work at a time when work is hard to procure.
 Fixtures, cheaply valued at more than $500, ,000, will become useless and be sold at practically nothing. There will be gen. eral shifting and encouragement of the business section caused by the vacancy of 1So saloons
 The decision will be reached tomorrow night fixing the chief of police who will be entrusted with the enforcement of prohibition in Birmingham. The meet ing of the police commission is awaited some radical changes will be made. The decision from the supreme court in the Ward-Parker controversy may finally de- eide the chairmanship of the City Coun- cil this week.
 The revised City Council will hold the night, and will at that time. settle num- Der of important matters. In case no changes are made, the highest license schedule ever passed by the council will become effective, and Collector Boggan will begin his rounds. More than likely street tax of B will be imposed.
 Numerous state laws will become effec- tive this week, including the "bucket- shop law, and Birmingham's brokerage firm will close it's doors.
 Last, but not least, the old year of laughter and wine will be gany toasted into history with innumerable banquets and smokers given in honor of gay old Father Time-what he has done and will accomplish. %

 BY FOUR YOUTHS

Walter Hagood. young white man liv- ing at East Birmingham, was seriously beaten up early last night In the house at 2323 Avenue by four other white men. It is not known how the trouble started, but 1t seems that Hagood tackled the crowd. and was terribly beaten up before the brawl was ended The young man had several bad cuts about the face and had been knocked down and stamped by the other men, when he was removed to the hospital.
 An ambulance of the Green Undertak- ing company responded to the call and Hagood was carried to St. vincent's hos pital, where he received the proper at- tention. His condition is considered somewhat serious.
 The four men who attacked young Ha- good made their escape. They all man. aged to get out of the house before the officers arrived
