Birmingham, Ala, October IA
wee tiny bit of baby girl who is
so small the doctors say she can
hardly live more than two or three
weeks longer is to be placed in a
baby incubator and given a chance to
fight for her life. Delmar v. Staley,
the baby incubator man, states his
belief is that her life will be saved.
The baby's parents reside in North
Birmingham, and she is the patient Of
reputable Birmingham physicians.
Mr.. Staley arrived in Birmingham a
few days ago for the purpose of plac-
ing some baby incubators on exhibi
ton at the state fair. Immediately
upon arriving here he started on a
search for one of these tiny parcels
of humanity. He only had to try for
a short while when he was informed
of this baby at North Birmingham.
The doctors advised him and the par
ents that the baby could hardly live
LII ilOl z tudu Two VI luTcc WeekS. MI.
Staley secured the consent of physi-
clans and family to place the infant
in an incubator and telegraphed to
his man at Mobile to express him one
of the incubators Immediately.
This incubator should reach here
today, and as soon as it is received it
will be taken to the Hillman hospital
and the baby placed in it. After the
fair opens up it will be removed to
the fair staying there the entire time.
Trained nurses will be in attendance
all the time, and the baby will be fed
every two hours during the day and
every three hours at night Only the
very finest grades of baby food and
carefully prepared milk will be fed
it. The quantities will, of course, be
very small. The effort is also being
made to secure three or four more
babies to be placed in the incubators
The outcome of this particular case
will be awaited with interest by ply
sicians here. Dhile the baby incuba-
tor has already shown that it can do
the work, it has never been tested
locally, and will undoubtedly attract
great attention at the fair.

devil white boys das1ef <down the
street and knocked over one~-of the

TURNER'S OPENING
IMPORTANT EVENT

One of the notable events of the
season--one that might well be called
a social function-is that which occurs
this evening promptly at 8 o'clock
when The Turner Store throws open
its doors to the ladies' and gentlemen
of Hattiesburg.
Within the confines of the walls
of this building are gathered the
fabrics from the famous looms of the
world-the artistic output of all the
exclusive textile manufactories-and
the daintiest weaves are spread on
counters that are rich with the treas
ures in colors and effects that come
from the artists who have conceived
them.
When the doors are opened to The
Turner Store this evening the heart
of the lover of the beautiful will stand
still in breathlessness at the beauty of
the scene and the common mortal will
hardly realize the bountifulness and
richness that will be displayed.
All the dainty things that women
love will be there in all their beauty,
beaming with the newness and
brightness of a coming season-all the
things man needs will be shown in
latest and best patterns, styles and
fits.

the crispy RUSTY, fluffy things all

INTEREST MCREASI

The series of meetings being con
Quoted by Rev. Solomon still attract
great attention and the crowds show
no decrease in size but if anything
grow daily larger.
Sunday was a most strenuous day
for there we're three meetings and
all of them were full of interest and
the attendance all that could be de-
sired. Sunday night the crowd that
filed the tent was unusually large and
the interest was great so thar the
hearts of the ministers were filed with
Joy.
The afternoon meeting yesterday Tor
women especially although nor for
women only was a large one and
was most interesting from all points
of view-a great gathering of women
being present.
From the text as given below and
the subject as also given, Mr.. Solomon
spoke as follows:
Text: Proverbs 31:10. "a worthy
woman, who can find her? Her price
is far above rubies."
"a man is judged more by the
woman he marries than by any other
one thing. A woman should never lei
anything come between herself and
her husband, if she does, she destroys
her own happiness, she destroys his
happiness, and she adds nothing to
the happiness of any one else.
"The meanest thing in the world is
mean woman; the best thing in the
world is a good woman, for it stands
to reason that what can go the high
est is also capable of going the lowest.
Woman has a great influence in the
home and in society The greatest in
fiuence is that of mother. 1t begins
before her child is born into this
world, and it never ceases. Woman
is the home maker The Bible COM
mands the husband to love his wife,
but it doesn't command the wife to
love her husband. 1t does tell her to
reverence him, and it is woman's ma
ture to love man if she can reverence
him and respect him.
81 am always glad when see a
home where the mother sings the
good old songs of Zion, for that is a
good sign that the devil is not there.
he never could stay around where the
songs of Zion were sung.
Make your home attractive. Have
music and the right kind of music.

9 heart at parting thrills
ner's sunniest memories;
from her fearful gloom,
ON fire and eyes afiame,
ishes into bloom
At 81 her beloved name.
- So :
Back to the world she woos the light
That died as summers smile ex-
pires;
And all the fading woods grow bright
With flashes of her altar fires;
Yet crowned and pale she walks
apart,
Lips moving in a mute caress,
And folds above her throbbing heart
The mantle OF her loneliness.
As sometime when the bloom has
fed,
The light that marked our summer
gone,
4 When springs best hopes are ripe or
dead
And life's pale winter hsrrying on
We stand at eventide aside,
Wearing the robes we hoped to win,
And fold our lives in piteous pride,
All fair without, all SCARED within.

Notes From Fashondom.
Hats do not match the frocks this
season, it seems to be distinctly the
right thing to do to wear hat that
does not match, unless in case it. is a
costume with contrasting coat when
the hat generally echoes the coat
color
q Strong and vivid colors such as
ereque, sapphire or peacock blue,
emerald green or pansy are chosen
often with frocks of neutral shade.
Null ties have received great favor
in the feature of neckwear, indeed it
is seldom that any article receives
such universal approval in its first
season. Those about two inches wide
are most favored, but all widths are
in demand.
Right here 1t would be well to say
something about the care of neck
wear. Lace ties should be washed
with great care, do not rub or wiring
the lace, but rather dip in and out
with an occasional pressure of the
hands. Milk will prepare the lace for
a better finish after ironing. than just
the plain sprinkling with water or
dinarily used and laces hould always
be ironed on the wrong side.
Buttons are placed on the gowns in
every conceivable shape, many are
cabochon shape, made of soutache,
braided round and round like tiny
beehives. But the newest button Is
called the mushroom and like veritable
miniature. mushrooms, they stand
about an inch in height. These but
tons are made of moulds covered with
braids.

Why should we trade at home?
why should we consider home in any
way more than any other place unless
IL pays us financially? First, because
IT is our home. The pride we should
take in the prosperity of our home
town and our neighbors should be suf-
f1cient inducement to give them the
preference. Second, because beyond
all doubt or question, it pays from a.
money point.
The greatest menace to the country
merchant to-day is the mail order
business, and with the decline of the
country merchant comes inevitable
Joss to the citizens of both town and
country. What at first was considered
great convenience and an exhibition
OF commendable enterprise has grown
to be one of the crying commercial
evils. The success of the mail order
house is the result of constant, ex.
tensive and intelligent advertising. 1t
is not by persistent swindling as some
tell us, for no business was ever built
up in that way. The home merchant
can do no better than to adopt the
same method, the judicious use of
printers ink.

lest immediate losers, and could do

trade with them when they do not
patronize their brothers in trade. The
editors should patronize home, and
even at considerable personal sacrifice
refuse foreign advertising for lines of
goods in competition with the home
merchant. The editor deserves more
credit than he receives. Many we'll
to-do farmer or city man would think
himself perfectly justified in sending
away for all his groceries and cloth
ing if he thought he could save ten
dollars thereby on years purchases,
but most editors forfeit many times
that much every year by refusing adj
vertising from distant firms in the
same lines of business as his home
merchants; and sometimes the home
merchant even then declines to adj
vertise.
Trade-at-home clubs might be or

Much of the trading away from
home is due to thoughtlessness and
ignorance of business principles.
Many persons consider only the first

order house they consider that clear
gain. They should be shown that a
merchant and his family living in
their midst keeps up house, pays
taxes, adds to the social features, con-
tributes generously towards public en-

their town gives support to several
more local merchants, creating bet
