IA coon PRACTICE.

This is q day, to use the words of The New Bedford Standard, when the prevention of disease Is counted as of more importance than the cure of sickness; the most important medical research work of the time is along the line of preventive measures-and there can be no safeguarding of the public against disease without taking the public into confidence and winning It's cooperation. This the profession and allied organizations are doing in marked degree. A splendid manifes- tation of the cooperative spirit on the medical side is exhibited in the plan of the Harvard Medical school to offer to the public a course aof lectures, en- tireIy free and withots even the for mality of the use of tickets, to be given by medical experts on, Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons throughout the next four months, on a large variety of subjects pertaining to the general health.
 This is a good and one that should be extended The time has been when medical knowledge and prevention of disease were looked on as profound secrets to be confined to the medi- cal profession and by no means allow ed to get to the people themselves. Then it was held that the duty of the doctors was to treat diseases, not to prevent them. It was wrong policy and practice. It is much better and more creditable to prevent confiagra- tion than to fight it after it has ob- tained a firm hold. On the same prin- ciples it Is better to prevent disease than to allow 1t to get hold of Its vic- tim and then try to head 1t; better for humanity, better for all the people, and really better for the medical pro- fession. If the doctors can prevent disease they are serving their kind we'll.
 And one way to prevent disease IS to teach the people the rules of sani- tation, of diet. of general preservation of health and the laws of life. Ignor- ance of all these things has much to do with human suffering, with weak ened constitutions, with insufficient vi- taIity, with crowded cemeteries. The plan adopted by the Harvard Medical School is a good one, beyond doubt. There are many who can and will at- tend these lectures and be benefited by them. Those benefits will extend to others and all will profit. There will be plenty of work for the doctors, be- yond doubt. with all the precautions that can be taken against the incuba- ton and spread of disease. Let none of them fear that their occupation
 will be gone If they lend their assis- tance to the good work of warding off sickness. Keeping well is better than getting well.

cATARRH GROWING LESS
Due to Use of Hyomei--Cures Without
 stomach Dosing.

Stomach Dosing.
 Inquiry at the local drug stores shows that the sale of remedies for catarrh has decreased very much fin the last year. Some medicines which were formerly bought a gross at a time are now purchased in half-dozen lots, and are rarely called for
 There is one notable exception to this decrease in sale, and that Is Hyo- mel. This remedy Is, insfact, respon- sible for the decrease in sale of ca tarrh medicines, as 1t has made so many cures of catarrhal troubles that naturally there is much less demand for remedies for that disease.
 People who have been trying differ ent medicines for catarrh during many years were induced to begin the use of Hyomei by Fowler-s guarantee, that the remedy would cost nothing unless cured. Much to their surprise, they found that Hyomei did what 1t claimed eff it did not Fowler could not sell it under this guarantee) and they soon became ardent advocates of the use of ayomei.
 There is no disagreeable stomach dosing with Hyomel; 1t is used by be- Ing breathed through neat pocket in- haler. The complete outfit costs but one dollar, extra bottles. if needed, fifty
 With every Hyomei outfit Fowler gives his personal guarantee that the money will be refunded unless the treatment cures, so that you run no risk at all in buying this reliable rem @Ay. l5-25-5

THE OLD AND rHr NEW.

The inauguration of new Governor is always q matter of prime interest to the people of Alabama. The streets of Montgomery were thronged yester- day from an early hour in the morning until late at night. People came from every quarter of the State to witness the proceedings connected with the going out of an old and the coming in of new administration.
 This interest is natural and reflects in the highest degree the sense of pro- prietorship which the people feel in their own affairs The transition was smooth and easy and shows how great is the difference between governments like ours and those of monarchical countries. Here when the voice Of the people is heard 1t is obeyed. The minority yield to the majesty of pub lie opinion. and If not satisfied with existing conditions make the best of them, and hope for change of senti- ment at another time.
 The outgoing administration has cause to be proud of the record 1t has made. Governor JeIks was safe and wise chief executive and he had the loyal support of a patriotic and com petent corps of officials at the head of the different departments. They all worked to the end that the interests of Alabama might be advanced and they can look back with pride upon what they did while in public posi- it6f. They are all entitled to the plaudits of the people and to hear the approving words. well done, good and faithful servants.
 The inaugural address of Governor Conner is published in full in another part of The Advertiser. Much of it Is in line with his utterances through out the State, during the last few years. with which the general public is perfectly familiar. He presents prominently his views as to railroad and water transportation. He takes high s position upon the question of education and fayors as liberal ap propriation to the cause as can be possibly made, and in this he includes the public schools as well as the in- stftuticns@of higher grade He makes favorable mention of our great charit- able institutions. the Hospitals for the Insane and Dear and Dumb Institutes and says adequate provision should be made to meet their growing demands. On the subject of immigration he eau tions against too lax a requirement. as to classes which may come h. He denounces Hobbies. advocates eauaii- zatIon of taxes and tavors application of all the tag tax to the Agricultural institutions headed by the Alabama Polytechnic Institne. For the old sol- diers, he has warm words of praise and advocates increase of pensions. The address was listened to by vast concourse of people and was we'll re- ceived by them.
 All the other State officials have en- tered upon the discharge of their du- ties. They are worthy and compe- tent set. and we feel quite sure will acceptably and faithfully discharge all the duties which may fall upon them.

TUESDAY. JANUARY IS, 1907.
AN OLD soNe.

Mention of the name of Joe Bowers calls to the minds of the old Johnny Rehsn memories of days that were both sad and joyful. Those old sol- diers were great at singing when they were at rest. At one time hymn or sentimental song would be sung with as much feeling as though the singers fireside. Then again a topical or coon song would be beloved forth by scores of tired, worn and half-fed soldiers with as much abandon as if they had not care on earth. It was one of the variations of what would otherwise have been the dull and dreary routine of life in camp and they enjoyed it.
 But about Joe Bowers: Joseph was Missourian whose home was in the fa- nous county of Pike. and it is fair to Sassume that his young life was that of the average country Missourian. But the time came. as 1t comes to all young men of proper nature and tempera- ment. when he met the one girl and but a couple of stanzas from the old song. as we remember them. will not be amiss.
 was. Sally Black
 asked her would she marry me-she
 said it was a whack;
 She says to me, "Joe Bowers. before we
 hitch for life.
 You'd better get little home to keep
 your little wife"
 I says to her. Dear Sally, O Sally, for I'll go to California and try to raise q
 stake"
 She says to me. "Joe Bowers, you are
 the man to win;
 Let's take a kiss to seal the bargain"-
 and she chucked dozen in!
 That was something like. and such a send-of as that would have put hope ani deter imitation in the heart and veins of any youth worth his salt. It fired Joseph. and he made quick voyage to California and. went in for that stake We are led to infer that success was rather slow in coming. but it dld come and Joe was thinking of returning tc old Pike to take possess
  brother Ike. away back in old Mis- souri, It brought to him the tidings. long delayed. that Sally had married a butcher and the butcher had red hair" But that was not all. for the same letter told him that "sally had a baby. and the baby's hair was red"
 All this coming at one fell swoop. knocked Joe out We are led to infer. however. that he wrote the song which set forth his sad experiences, and the song was Q favorite one with the sol diers in gray No doubt many of them who read this short tribute to Joseph will recall the old song as they heard 1t and sarR it in the days when they were making glorious history. 2,
 wh:.t became of Joseph we are not iuforrred whether his sorrow and sappeintpent drove him to suicide. to drink oI to the arms of a more de- penaabIe sweetheart, we are left to eonjecture. All we certainly know of him js set forth in the famous song bearing hss name, which is at once an insp.,ation and a warning Joe is probably dead, but his song lives in the memory of many a gray-haired and reminiscent Confederate.

Politics is warming up a little in Dadeville. We have two good young men for Mayor either or whom would city.-Dadeville Courier.
 The young candidates ought to make themselves busy for the next two weeks and urge every man liable to poll tax to pay lip on or before the lst of February. Those who fail to do so will be deprived by their own act of the right to vote. There ought to be in every town and county poll tax committees to look after those who are putting of the poll tax payments.

Improving Washington.
From the Philadelphia Bulle


Two distinct movements are now under
way for the improvement Of the capital
city of this republic. One Of these is for
the slums and insanitary conditions which
are to be found in Washington's back al
legs While hardly more than a beginning
has been accomplished. the work of re-
moving dila pidated, unwholesome shackS
and novels seems at least to be making
some progress. 1t Is to be hoped that It
can be pushed more rapidly in the future
The other scheme consists of a plan to
appropriate ten millions to purchase out
right and devote to governmental uses
tract of some two million square feet lying
below Pennsylvania avenue and between
the Capitol grounds and the White House.
ment buildings are overcrowded; that the
government is expanding large sums in
rent for space in inadequate and Insecure
structures and that the ground which 1t Is
desired to buy would furnish abundant
room on which to erect stately public
buildings in architectural harmony The
execution of this policy would undoubtedly
add signally to the impressiveness Of the
capital 1t is also asserted, apparently with
some reason, that it would be far cheaper
to buy it now than to wait until it Is i'm
perativeIy required, when it's present own
ers will be pretty sure to put prices up
not sanction waste Or extravaganza. should
deal with the needs of Washington In
spirit of judicious liberality. The historic
community on the Potomac has superb Ia
cilities for development into a center
worthy in all respects OF its political status
Niggardly economy regarding its require
ments would be short sighted and foolish.
