Sites Well Chosen.

The action of the city council in Sc
lecting of a site for a new grammar
school meets with the general approval
of the citizens. The committee made a
wise and equitable selection, as the new
school is exactly the same distance from
the Bush school as 1t is from the Moore
school. In other words, each school, when
the new building is completed, will be
exactly nine blocks from each other. The
site selected for the high school is also
well located as 1t is the nearest central
point that could be obtained. The school
authorities are well pleased with the wise
selection of the city council and imme-
date steps will be taken to commence
building operations.

Harry spurrier Pioneer Contractor.

Harry Spurrier Pioneer Contractor.
Much progress is being made in the erec-
ton Of the new Methodist church at Ems
ley. The work is being done under the
superintendency of Harry Spurrier, one of
the pioneer contractors of Ensley. Mr..
Spurrier built the first bridge across
Village creek at Ensley in 1887. He had
charge of the outside work of the first
furnace built here; he was superintendent
of the construction of No. furnace
the most modern furnace in the district
he erected a number of handsome resi-
denees en- the Ensley South Highlands,
and built several of the minor industries
of Ensley. In fact, Mr.. Spurrier has built
everything from chicken coop to a blast
furnace. His age is shrouded in mystery,
but no happier, cheerier, or better man
exists than Harry Spurrier. He always
inspires the utmost confidence in the men
who work under his direction, and like
Sir Christopher Wren, who built st. Pauls
cathedral, no word of profanity ever fell
from the lips of his workmen without a
a kindly rebuke from Harry" And while
that was so, no man ever was permitted
to loaf on his job as Harry was al
ways willing to jump in and lead the
way when others held back. So, with a
smile and song, Harry is rushing the
work on the church

Sportsmen Given a Success
full Fox Chase.
Sir Re ynard was Captured After
Having Covered Several Miles
of Trail.

"A very successful fox chase was
conducted Thursday afternoon by a
number of Marion sportsmen. The
fleet one was only captured after a
run of about six miles. Reynard
was freed near the Forest Lawn
school building about one o'clock in
the afternoon. After he had been
given a start of q hundred yards, sew
eral beagle hounds were turned
loose. They merely served to put
the prey on his mettle and he reeled
off couple of miles, leaving the
beagle hounds far in his rear, before
the fox hounds were unfettered.
About twenty fox hounds were entered
in the chase and the pack did excel
lent work. Mr.. Fox was finally cap
tured and killed about six miles
northeast of the city.
Conducted along better lines than
many similar events in the past the
chase was all that might have been
desired.

In other words, they should be killed

SOME WONDERFUL NEW DOC
TORS INSCRIPTIONS.


In the January American Maga.
zine Ray Stannard Baker tells the
story of "The New Mission of the
Doctor. II Is a wonderful presenta-
tion of the new field into which
medicine is advancing. Scientific
physicians, driven by Christian
Scientists to recognize the use of
the mind and religion in effecting
cures, are taking tremendous strides
to catch up with the movement, just
as the church is, too, which Is now
engaged all over the United States
in healing the sick.
Speaking of the Massachusetts
General Hospital in Boston, Mr..
Baker says:
"Twenty-one thousand new pa
tients came to the Out-patient De-
partment of the Massachusetts Gen.
eral Hospital last year. Wherever,
among this stream of suffering hu-
manity, as It passes before the doc.
tors, there Is case having pc
culiarly difficult human problem, the
man or woman is referred with a
colored slip to the Social Service
Department for human treatment,
Just as he would under other cir
cumstances be referred to the sur
gical ward, or the Zanderroom, or
ordered to take baths.
'For some patients the best pre-
scription is a friend" as one of the
doctors put It to me-
rI have before me n number or
the small colored prescription blanks
which the doctors give to the
patients-and the suggestions to-
them are astonishing enough-they
are SO little medical, so deeply
human. Here Is one:
'She is working too hard; needs
advice as regards hygient and diet"
"Another patient came with this
direction:
"An undernourished child who
needs better and more food, which
his parents cannot afford
"Another. Patient says she must
return to work on account OF fin
ances. She really is not in condition
to do so yet Can you do anything
for her?
Another: Patient is completely
Needs rest
Another. Patient is completely
run down, overworlSed and played
out Cares for large family
Needs rest
"Another: Patient needs spring
back brace, $500. Cannot pay for
It,
Another: Unmarried girl who Is
pregnant
Curious complaints in a hospital,
are they not? Poverty, misfortune,
overwork. large families, human
tragedies. And yet these have an
intimate bearing upon health. II
the patient improves he must have
changed conditions"

Wv other evening Mrs. Bowser
had some news for him. On
the previous night burglars had enter
ed no fewer than three houses on their
block and carried off more or less
swag, and thus far the detectives had
secured no clew TO the gentry. Some
OF the detectives had said that 1t was
more than likely that the marauders
would return to the street another
night, and householders had been noti-
fed to be on the watch.
