Birmingham ard Atlanta

Gadsden is naturally eager to be on the automobile route about to be es- tablished between Birmingham and Atlanta, and Anniston is likewise eager to participate in the work of locating the route.
 Three routes have been outlined by the Birmingham Motor club, and each will have thoughtful consideration after the pathfnders go over the ground and report.
 One passes through Argo, Ashville. Gadsden, Center, Cave Spring, Cedar town, Dallas and Marietta to Atlanta
 The second goes through Branch vile, Coal City. Ohatche, Jacksonville, Piedmont, Cedartown, Dallas and Ma rietta to Atlanta.
 The third route passes through Pell City, Lincoln, Bynum, Anniston, Iron City Hefin, Edwardsville, Tallapoosa, Bremen, Douglasyille and Marietta to Atlanta.
 There is great enthusiasm in both terminal cities Birmingham desires to get into closer touch with Atlanta and Atlanta desires a closer bond with the Alabama metropolis. It remains for the county or road commissioners in Georgia and Alabama to direct their energies toward the work of grading and macadamizing the rough places. There will be three routes eventually, model highway between the two big cities

Alaska'S Wealth

When William H. Seward, then Sec retary of State, negotiated in 1867 the purchase of Alaska from Russia at a cost of $7,20O,O0O all considered it a gold brick, so to speak-all believed it would be a source of expense, never of revenue. But since it's purchase it has produced gold, silver, copper, tin, marble, gypsum, coal, furs, salmon, cod, halibut, herring, timber, etc., to the value of $324,5OO,00Oi It's annual products at present are worth about $35,O00, 900, and as soon as the project ed railway lines are completed it's copper and coal production will be largely increased. It has coal enough to supply the demand of the Pacific countries.
 The tax on the seal rookeries alone returned the cost of the entire district with interest. The seals in the Pribi. lof islands are fast disappearing Twenty years ago the catch was about 100000 a year; it is now less than 15,- 900. This valuable fur-bearing anl nal will soon be lost altogether.
 The enduring products of Alaska promise to be coal and copper, while some gold will be mined throughout tho present century. The present an

The Mormons Are Strict.

"The Mormon church in Salt Lake City is a most interesting religious organiza- tlon," said Judge A. c. Howze, who has just returned from an extensive western trip.
 All the Mormons cannot enter the temple. nor can Gentiles or other non Mormons. There are 39 ecclesiastical wards in the city presided over by readers who hold services in the ward chapels three Sundays In each month. These men know the lives of every individual in their wards and only those whose con- duct entitle them to attend can enter the temple for the services held once each month.
 'We were sightseeing in an electric touring car; the guide, who had a sense of humor perpetrated one or two jokes on the crowd. At one place he solemnly stated The man who lives there has buried 20 wives and is ready to bury an- other If needed pausing he announced, He is an undertaken He declared with much impressiveness: This city has only three saloons An old lady slapped her hands and gave verbal expression to her qualification at the statement, when the guide added, flor every church, and there are 93 churches in Salt Lake!'

LESS DRUGS USED
 IN THE HOSPITALS

Washington, September 2S.-Strilking il- lustrations of the rapid decline in the use of drugs in the various hospitals of the country featured the doctors session of the eleventh annual conference of the American Hospital association here. They were shown in the report or the commit tee on hospital efficiency, hospital finance and economies of administration, which was presented by Dr. R. R. Ross. super intendent of the Buffalo General hospital.
 Dr. Ross declared that 15 years ago the annual cost of medicines for each patient in the Massachusetts General hospital was about 80, while last year it was only 9l cents. He showed that the cost of drugs in the Buffalo General hospital also had shown marked decrease for the past year.
 The committee urged full publicity of his report.

 Over lffe's hard battle plain. See them bravely lift tfeir burdens, Faithful hearts and comrades true, Though no tongue is ever lraising Half the dauntless deeds hey do.

 September will set the high-water mark in production. consumption and sales of pig iron for many months The market, which has been strong, is broad CT and stronger than at any time here- tofore, with prices advanced over week ago in almost every district. While some furnaces which were out of tho market at last report have finally consented to take on iron for next year, larger number have withdrawn and are out of the market at the present time
 'The features of the week in this dis trict have been large sales for the first half of next year and the number of good purchases for the balance of this year from concerns which, 1t has been thought, were covered to January l. but increased business made 1t imperative to buy iron for the next three months, which has been done only at an advanced price.

Remember the Old SO.dIerS

No humane institution in Alabama Is doing a more helpful work than the Soldiers home at Mountain Creek for the care of Confederate veterans who are too infrm to support themselves. The state makes liberal appropriations for the maintenance of the home, but the funds are intended mainly to pro- vide food and necessary service and to keep up the buildings. While the number of dependent veterans re- mained small there was something left of the funds to purchase needed cloth ing; but as time goes on the number naturally increases. There are 90 in- mates on the roll today, and practi- cally all of the states appropriation is required to supply the table.
 Commandant Simpson makes an ap- peal to the friends of humanity to send clothing and blankets to the home. And as the winter Is approach ing, the old soldiers will soon be suf- fering unless this appeal meets with prompt response. There are thou sands of prosperous Alabamians who should be only too glad to contribute to the comfort of those who fought for us but are now too decrepit to help themselves. All donations from the people of Birmingham can be made through Capt. J. Lawler Darby, the faithful adjutant of Camp Hardee.

The wealth of the country Is s120 DOC, 100000 and that, too, is to be listed in the fullest possible detail The farms of the country are to be list ed, and they are valued at $20,00O, ,OO0,- 900.

Many minor subjects will have careful attention, and Director Durand is call clans, sociologists and political econ omists in getting ready for the task of next April and the following months.
