Beer, Overweight and Ill Health.

It is we'll known that the contin-
ued use of beer is often accompanied
by a noticeable increase in the avoir-
dupois of the drinker. This increase
not only frequently becomes burden
some. but it may be a menace to
health.
DR.. Brandreth Symonds, M. A.,
Chief Medical Director Of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company, New York,
has an article in the Medical Review,
in which he shows the disadvantages
of overweight and underweight. in
health and longevity.
A. case is considered overweight
when it exceeds by twenty per cent.
the standard adopted by the leading
life insurance companies.
DR.. 'Symonds finds that after thirty
years of age mortality rises rapidly
with the age and with the weight.
Increasing abdominal girth Is very
serious addition to overweight, and
when this exceeds the expanded
chest, the mortality Is markedly in
creased. According to the records on
which this report was based, no over
weight man or woman died OF old
age or reached eighty years.
"Cirrhosis of the liver" (hob-
nailed liver), says DR.. Symonds, lis
three and one-half times as prevalent
among overweights as in our general
experience. This undoubtedly points
to alcoholism, for statisticians gem
orally consider that liver cirrhosis is
a very accurate index OF the alcoholic
habits of a class"
DR.. Symonds expresses himself as
convinced that a given percentage Of
overweight in persons yer twenty
five years of age is a more serious
matter than if it were underweight.
1.-The excessive weight, whether it
be fat or muscle, is not a ~storehouse
of reserve strength, but a burden
which has to be nourished If muscle,
and which markedly interferes with
nutrition and function If fat"

 It was suggested that the property holders on each side be asked to give 5o feet in order to make the highway as broad as it should be. On motion of MT. Sevier the president was authorized to appoint committee to confer with the 6essemer citizens, the Board of Reve- nue and the City Council, and If neces- sary to take the question up with the legislature. MT. Ford assigned this duty to the civic improvement committee.
 MT. Ferguson also suggested that bill should be gotten through the legisla- ture, giving Birmingham park com mission with power to get money, and do things, which can now be done at a nominal expense, but would cost heavily 10 years hence.
 MT. Joseph thought the report a splen- did one, and pointed to the state fair grounds as~ the only breathing space in the future for all of the manufacturing district around Ensley and Pratt City. we must keep 1t intact for all time to come, and very soon an agitation will begin to have the city purchase it, which the Chamber of Commerce must back up."
 Mir Ford concluded the discussion, in- dorsing the work of the committee, and assuring the members that every com mittee of the chamber is a live com mittee and not afarid to take hold of questions of absorbing interest that every meeting would be just as important.
 He then introduced Maj. Marmaduke B. Bowden, who was twice president of the Louisville Chamber of Commerce, and has come to Birmingham to make this his home. He made a very fine talk, which showed that the Birmingham spirit has reconstructed Kentucky's son. T He told of Louisvilles fight for her park system, and how that city issued over a half-million dollars in bonds to comnleta her plans.

Ought the new library and the new postoffice which will be built within the next few years be located with reference to this civic center. or should they go where the price of the land and other temporary influences seem most expedient?

For instance, it would be a com paratively easy matter to run 100 or 150- foot radial boulevard from the neighbor- hood of the Williamson furnace in a southerly direction to the Green Springs park Green Springs to Red Mountain park. thence by all Highland avenue parks, Country club, Cliff road.
