Cold water, proper food and common sense are the foun- dations upon which . preventive must rest.

More About Words

In the list of words inter1icted by Will liam Cullen Bryant when he was editor of the New York Evening Post, were, as | pointed out in a former article, many of excellent standing. The distinguished man of letters was probably disgusted with the incorrect use in the local col- umns of his paper of those words, and for that reason I suppose he placed them in his '.index expurgatorious.' One of Mir. Bryant's iiterdicted words was minister for "preacher." He permitted its use only in the sense of diplomatic representa- tive. But according to the dictionary and according to liturgieal use minister is technically correct when used in the church sense. Webster thus defines it: '.The pastor Of church duly authorized or licensed to preach the gospel and ad- minister the sacraments.' As synonyms Webster gives clergyman ''parson' and priest The word minister occurs often in the rubrics both of the Catholic church and the Anglican communion.
 The word operate would have been in terdcted. without doubt, by MT. Bryant if it had been used as commonly in his day as it is row. It is all right to speak of a mining company operating its coal mines, or of an iron company operating its blast furnaces, but the use of the word is overdone when tho reporters speak of Mrs. So and So operating a boarding house or Mir. So and So operating sa-

Philosophy and Religion

One hears something of neo-paganism The old organism with which early Chris tianity came in deadly conflict gave to the world not a few men distinguished for their intellectual force. and some of the pagan philosophers were doubtless men of virtuous lives. but the pagan world as a whole was steeped in the grossest sensuality The early Christians bravely defended the new religion, and thousands upon thousands suffered cruel persecu- ton and bloody martyrdom for it.
 In spite of the fierce contest between Christianity and the organism of ancient Rome. the Christian church grew strong. and in spite of old schisms and the un- dermining work of modern infidel pholos- ophers Christianity is more vigorous than ever before. But with tine coming of the twentieth century Christian theolog- ians and Christian pastors have been troubled alike over the spread of agnos ticism among the educated classes and the deadly indifference of large proportion of the toiling men of brawn.

If Means Much for the District

comparatively few persons in Birmihs- ham. perhaps, realize the Importance of the farm movement which the Chamber of Commerce started last year Three years ago there were only about 90 truck CTS in Jefferson county. NOW, I am told' there are something like 150, large per centage of them having come rom the north as a result of intelligent work done on the part of MT. Hechinger, the secre- tary Of the Chamber of Commerce farm committee. There is room in this county right now for 500 small farmers who could thrive in raising vegetables and poultry for the Birmingham market.
 Every Eomeseeker who settles here serves as an object lesson to induce otn- CTS to come and engage in horticulture. Not only do these truck farmers in the neighborhood of Birmingham add to the wealth of the county, but they make high ly desirable citizens. Baldwin county, across the bay from Mobile, is filling up rapidly with truck farmers, but the time will he r.hra ffs ngham district will lead in murzst Ing as it does now in Y,ini5fa and ru. turing.

Of Current Interest And Otherwise
ar A MAN OF LEISURE

- IRMINGHAM is growing iSse,
 H there was any iull last year 'ns. D seems to be evidence now that the rate of increase is equal to that at '"e close of the last decade. Everyone marks the crowds of newcomers OH '"9 streets. The hotels and boarding houses are filled, and all the restaurants appear to be prospecting. In many cities the d. rectory "census" is often greatly exag- gerated but Birmingham new directory, indicating a population of 17o,0O, IS not far wrong.
 Comparison is made from time to time between Birmingham and Atlanta. At lanta is noted for it's civic pride, and it's pul-together spirit is proverbial. At lanta's spirit has had much to do with the progress of the city, and every grow ing town can profit by Atlanta's ways. The Georgia metropolis was started in a circumscribed area, and in it's develop ment it has remained compact, hence the unity of spirit. Birmingham spreads out over a large area and when the King bill extended the limits so as to take in many contiguous towns we gained popu- larion: but in the nature of things 1t takes time to develop the greater city spirit in that sense which distinguishes Atlanta. As my friend pr. J. H. Phillips, superih- tendent of schools. said the other day, Atlanta has always had the Atlanta consciousness. Birmingham has group consciousness, but not the Birmingham consciousness, which will come by and by. The public school system Will do more than any one thing to unify iocai sentiment and give us that city conscious ness which is so much admired Tn the case of Atlanta"
 pr. Phillips is altogether right about the effect of the public school system Next to that agency, perhaps, in creating the Greater Birmingham spirit is the Cham Der of Commerce. The chamber mas a large membership now, but 1t should oe largely increased by inducing residents of all the outlying sections to enroll them- selves. A large Birmingham spirit VIII help all round.

psychology, or as set forth in in his "Pragmatism,' so far as I recall, to which an orthodox clergyman could reasonably object. James wrote in a clear. pleasant style. and the very fact that his lectures are readable gives him a larger following than philos- ophers usually have. But those abstruss men like Hegel and the new agnostic star. Bergson do positive harm. The Christian religion being true will last for all time. Julian, the apostate, in his dying hour, muttered, 'Vicisti Galilee!'-"Thou hast conquered, oh, Galileean!' And modern pagans, when they reach the end of life's little span, will come, whether they ad- init it or not. to like realization .tVicisti Galileen'
