Only Fifteen More Days
 Until Big Fair Opens

Just 15 days before the gates swing wide for the Alabama State Fair!
 Just enough time for the people of the state to put everything in shape to get away for 10 days, to come up to Birmingham and spend glor- oius vacation at the greatest expo- sition ever held in Alabama
 Not since the visit of Theodore Roosevelt have the people of the state turned their eyes so unanimously to- ward Birmingham. The rumbling of their preparations reach the city ev- cry day. Travelling men declare that the interest in the smallest hamlet and the largest town is intense.
 First, the aeroplane, and close sec- ond, the wonderful agricultural ex- hibits. have given the added impetus to the fair movement.
 The people have their ears open and when they have 1t as certified fact that the state fair is to pay $35,000 for free attractions, while the great Ap- pa1achian exhibition pays only $20,Oo0, and when they hear that 20 counties are bringing the best they lave to Bir- mingham, they know that the show will be worth seeing.
 The great Pains spectacle, the De struction of Pompeii," is just another one of the wonderful attractions which is insuring the success of the fair. Indorsed by every business man in Bir- mingham. the genuineness of It's claims cannot be doubted
 The selection of dates for a great fair is no simple undertaking. This

year Birmingham had all the adyan- tage of the other associations in the circuit, and was allowed the privilege of setting her own dates.
 Good weather is the most important requisite, so Secretary Chaffee under took to solve the weather problem He went to Weather Observer Lehman and secured the figures on rain for the last 21 years in Birmingham on the days between September 25 and October 25.
 T averaged the amount of rain for every possible group of nine days and found that less rain had fallen be- tween October 6 and October 19 than at any other time during the 21 years" said MT. Chaffee.

and correction of other obvious defects.
 "Recently, the board of education has provided two school nurses Tor thls ae- partment, and their work promises to pc of the highest value. It is the duty or the nurse to visit the pupils and parents III their homes, when this seems aeslraple. In cases where our records. snow tnal the parent has taken no notice of advice regarding the defective child or has made no move to secure relief for him, the nurse visits the home to explain the ao- visibility of treatment, ana to urge that 1t be instituted. We have found that
 such A yiist by a taetful nurse almost in-
 variably results in better understanding
 between parent and school authority, and
 in great benefit to the child. Often the
 medical inspector or the teacher realizes
 that the home surroundings of the pupil
 are not what they should be and that
 some instruction in hygiene, dlet. etc,
 would be productive of good The visit
 of our nurse to such home has always
 been a welcome one while past exper- fence teaches us that the visit of the teacher might have been regarded with suspicion It has been gratifying to note the openess with which the poorer par ents in particular have received lhe school nurse and the readiness with which they give her their confidence. Her influence in the home is far-reach- ing. and often extends beyond the par
 ticular object of her visit. The nurse Is
 under the direction of the school physi-
 elan, Is furnished daily with instructions
 and each day makes a report upon her
 work.
 .It is unfortunate that the school au- thorities are allowed no latitude in the selection of books for collateral reading,
 for much could be done in the education
 of pupils in the laws of sanitation ana
 hygiene could they make use of such
 works as those of Riche.
 "In concluding this report I beg to re-
 mind you that the beginnings of all things worth while are slow and that if we work consistently we may expect the future to bring great results. Respect fully submitted, JAMES MLESTER."

WASHINGTON. September IT.
The relationship of Wall Street to

to-day will be the subject of warm
discussion In Congress this winter,
similar TO that which preceded the

revolution in Nicaragua. Messages
from Honduras say that a revolution
is about to be preeipitated over
proposed loan which Is being nego-
tiated by J. p. Morgan and Company.
1t has been announced that the
State Department win send a COM
missioner to Nicaragua To assist in
Strengthening out the tangled hnan-
cial affairs of the Republic, which is
under "A heavy burden of debt. 1t Is
suggested, in q semi official way that
