Today and Yesterday.
Changes In What We Wear
And What We Eat.

The steamship replaced the sailing
vessel, the electric light succeeded the
oil lamps, and we have no need, nor
desire to trade back" Our health is
just as good and We can crowd that
much more work and play into the
day of twenty-four hours.
Foods have changed. too. Corn bread
and wheat -four share honors with
dainty yet substantial prepared foods. -
People now realize the necessity of
stomach care. They eat more fruit and
green stuffs and cereals and the health
is better for it.
The old fashioned breakfast of beef
steak, potatoes and bread" or bacon
and eggs and mullins are replaced BY
&c Corn Flakes or Egg-O-See Wheat
Flakes and fruit. and our health is
better for it. All the nourishment of
the grain is retained in the crisp flakes,
and it's no task for the stomach.
Children grow fat on it. Invalids
gain strength on it and man can do a
better days work on It than to load
his stomach with meats and heavy
foods. Remember always it's the Egg
O-See'' brands thai are made right. -
watch for the &c ESark on the paek-
age.

AS this plan is seldom undertaken In a grade school the experiment Is being watched with inter est. So far it is very successful. It Is said to be remarkable to note how highly the sense of justice is developed in young children if given some responsibility. Even technicalities may be engaged in by them as well as by their elders. At a recent trial two boys were being tried for fighting The judge was about to charge the jury when it was discovered that the ordinance against fighting had never been signed by the mayor and clerk, and was therefore unconstitutional.

GREAT DEVELOPMENTS
 IN THE TWO DECATURS
BY WILL w. NELSON.

Decatur, January 11.-(Special. )-Not- withstanding the financial panic and the general hard times, the two Decaturs dur ing the past year have no doubt spent more money in the erection of new church buildings, in the improvement of church property, in public school buildings and in street improvements than any other city of like size in the country. As a result the two Decaturs today have the best class of church buildings, the most num- erous and most imposing public school structures and the best streets and side walks of any city of the same popula- ton in the state.
 During the past year the two towns have spent almost s1oO,00O in new church buildings and in the improvement of church property. New Decatur has spent s25,00O in the erection of new public school buildings. Several thousand dollars has been spent in the building of streets and sidewalks in Decatur while New Decatur likewise has spent a considerable sum on her streets and sidewalks Besides all of this the county Is now building system of pike roads, and on this work alone more than $20O,0O0 will be spent.

JONES MAY MAKE
 DECISION TODAY Arguments Concluded In Pro hibition Injunction Suit TEACHERS EXAMINATION
Two Thousand Nine Hundred Appii. cants for License To Teach In Ala bama-Gregory Succeeds Led
 better As Major.

Montgomery, January 1.-(Special.)- After hearing final speeches by Attorney General A. M Garber for the state and D. w. Troy for the complainants, Judge Thomas G. Jones of the United States court today took the case of the Cook Brewing company of Indiana, in which an injunction against the Alabama pro- hibition law is sought, under advisement. He stated that he would make ruling not later than Wednesday.
 Practically all day was taken up in the two speeches. Colonel Garber argued that the company had no rights in the state other than those given by the in terstate commerce act having been a. wear without a direct line of business. No sue hthing as good will can be consid- cred when there is no tangible property rights to be injured. He cited numerous authorities to show that this is the rul- Ing of the best known cases in the books
 MT. Troy, who was regarded as the best informed member of the counsel for the company on the constitutional ques- tons involved went carefully over the argument, holding that the law is bad and that by virtue of the bad law the company is not only being deprived of a goodly income, but denied the results of a business built up and maintained at great cost He said that the ques- ton of good will did enter frequently into the case and that the court had the right and ought to exercise it to stop by injunction the operations of the act.
