INVITATIONS ID SELMA ACCEPTED

Selma. August s-(Special. )-Senaso. Swanson of Virginia and Congressman w. S. Howard of Georgia have notified State Senator Y. B. Atkins that they @ill accept invitations which have been eX- tended them to vist Selma during the an- nual convention or the Alabama Good Roads association, whicsh will be held here the latter part of October. State Senator Atkins received notice from these gentlemen on Saturday. Both are enthusiastic advocates of good roads and during the session of the convention it is expected that both will make all
 address upon some feature of the site-
 ation.
 Within the next few days it is expected
 that other letters of acceptance will be received from other southerners who have
 been invited 10 visit Selma during the
 sessions of the convention. Many men
 of national reputation have been invited i to attend the Alabama Good Roads con- ventIon and it is believed that the major | ity of them will accept as the question is one of national importance.
 AS the date for the opening of the con vention draws neare the belief grows stronger here that President Taft will ac- cept the invitations which have been eX- tended to him 10 visit Selma during that time It is expected that some definite in formation in regards to his intention will be heard of within the next few days.
 The information received here is that every county in the state will send a large number of delegates to me az preaching convention. It is expected 70 be the greatest gathering in the history Of Selma as well as the most important meeting in the history of the Alabama Good Roads association.
 The republican executive committee of Dallas county met in the Hudson hall on Franklin street at noon Saturday and is- sued a call for a convention of all rag istered voters of Dallas county 10 be held on August 19 at 12 o'clock The convcn- ton to be held will be for the purpose ot electing delegates to the state and to district conventions and the appointing of committees for the transactiong of all other business which may come before the convention to be held.
 1 pr W. F.. Clark of Livingston will
 preach during this week at the Pisgan I Presbyterian church near Selma. The
 meeting for the week began this morning
 and services will be held every evening
 during the remainder of the week. Dr Clark is a wll known minister of the state and there is no doubt but each service he holds will be attended by a large con gregation.

FAVORABLE ACTION
 ON TREATIES URGED

Washington, August 6.-Pressure is be- ing brought 10 bear on the Senate to act favorably on the recent signed arbitration Great Britain and the United States and France. The only hitch apparent>at pres ent is the fear of the Senate that some of it's treaty-making prerogatives may be endangered by the new conventions. This is denied by Secretary Knox.
 While the scope of the treaties just signed, he declared tonight has been en- larged to include questions of vital in- terest and national honor excepted in the arbitration treaties now in force with Great Britain and France, the relations of the Senate to the arbitration proceed ings remain the same as in the treaties now in force, as will appear from the texts.
 Both the President and Secretary Knox are highly desirous Of having the treaties passed by the Senate before adjourn ment.
 East Northfeld, Mass. August G. Three thousand Northfeld conference delegates joined today in special thanksgiving service over the recent signing of the general arbitra tion treaties in Washington The event was taken as a fulfillment of the scriptural prophecy that war shall cease and Eng fish and American delegates joined fer vently in the service.
 london August 7.-Today being a bank holiday few of the morning news papers comment editorially on the sign ing of the Anglo-American and Franco American arbitration treaties. The Morning Post. which all along has been opposed to the Anglo American treaty, regards it as better than 1t had ex- pected because the text shows it to be less ambitious than the speeches which preceded 1t led the people to suppose.

THE ONE BRIGHT LIGHT IN THE
CLOUD

Although the loss of life in the
Pennsylvania disaster is, fortunately,
not nearly as great as first reported,
it is appalling enough. Like the
even more terrible Johnstown flood,
it goes to show how the elements, I'M
chained, cause destruction and death.
Whether or not the disaster could
have been avoided is for an expert in
vestigation to determine. But too oft
en- loss of life and limb, and vast de-
struction of property are the result
of faulty construction and material
neglect of duty Such criminal neg
ligence has been responsible for
many catastrophe as the sad tale of
the Iroquois Theater, General Slo-
cum steamer, Collinwood school and
many another disaster proves.
While the property loss is large it
is nothing compared with the loss of
life. No amount of sympathy, how
ever literally extended, can call back
single life taken by the mad, rush
ing water, nor can it repair the break
in the family circle, nor turn sorrow
into joy. Yet that sympathy so read
lily expressed, and which speaks so
eloquently of that mystic chord of
sentiment that. binds humanity to-
gether, is not only beautiful in itself,
but serves to relieve the aching heart
and minister to the wants and needs
of the sufferers, and that fact forms
the one bright light in every dark
cloud of disaster and tragedy

Il out Error in tuberculosis treat
!. ment-How One Need Eat
Many traditions with regard to the
feeding of tuberculosis patients and
with regard to food in general, are
given severe blows in a series of
articles published in the October
number of the Journal of Outdoor
Life, the official organ of the Nation
al Association for the study and pre-
vention or tuberculosis.
DR.. John R. Munrlin, of New York,
assistant professor of physiology at
the Cornell University Medical Col
lege, hold in an article entitled "The
| Dynamic Principles of Nutrition
that a consumptive will gain weight
and do we'll on three pints of whole
milk, eight ounces of cream, five
ounces of milk sugar, six eggs and
two slices of buttered, toast, as
ration for each "a hours. The entire
| diet with the exception of the bread
and butter could be prepared in adj
vance and served for a cost of about
so cents for the day Miss Cecilia
Flick of the Henry Phipps Institute
of Philadelphia, also offers some sam
pie diets which the ordinary family
can prepare for even less than so
cents day.
DR.. David r. Lyman of Wallingford.
Conn, and DR.. Paul r. Johnson of
Washington, d. c., both agree that
the ordinary person eats too much,
and that the old notions about stuff
fing a tuberculosis patient at all
times and seasons have not a neces-
sary article of the consumptive's diet,
and that a tuberculosis patient should
eat anything that agrees with him
that is nourishing. He thinks that
a tuberculosis patient should eat only
la little more than person in ordfn-
dIy SOOu u6dlIH.
DR.. Murlin compares the food we
eat to the fuel used in furnishing
steam and power for an engine In
selecting our food he says that we
should eat enough to furnish energy
for the days work, but that much
more than this is not needed He
holds that the appetite is not a ne
cessity for good digestion. There
is no fallacy of nutrition" he says,
greater than that which supposes
that a fad cannot be digested and
utilized without APPETITE" Most of
the food We eat, fully four-fifths,
goes to supply energy for our every
day tasks, while less than one-fifth
goes to supply building material.
