MALARIA PROVES !. EXPENSIVE TOSTATE Experts Estimate Cost Is S2,OO0,00O Annually-In-
 vestigatiOns Made

Mobile, September 2I-(Special)-Dr Graham E. Henson of Crescent City Fla, who estimates that malaria costs the state of Alabama $2.000,000 annually, bases his estimate on investigations made in Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery according to advance proofs of the South ern Medical Journal, of which Dr. Scale Harris of this city is editor-in- chief pr Henson says Dr. Harris writes in the Journal.
 He Or. Henson) thinks there were over 7o,000 cases il. Alabama last year with 77e deaths. and figures the loss in- penses, lost tinre and deaths at s2,O00. GOO. Surely, snch 2 matter is worth att tending to by the best intelligence of the state.
 His estimate must be very conserva- tive, as there are more malarial cases to the thousand in the country than there are in cities. Nevertheless, his results are surprising.
 "Dr. Henson deserves praise for his careful, persistent work in this diree- tion."
 Alabama is represented on the commis- sion for the study and prevention of ma laria by two physicians. both of whom re- side in Moble--Dr. R. H. von EZdorf and pr. Harris.

THOMAS
 w.
 LAWSON Makes public the first in stalment of 1.-THE REMEDY" in the October number of EUerybody's Magazine Corporate greed, coupled with the in- creased cost of living, has bedevlled both politician and economist for forty years. Now comes a private cltl- zen, Thomas w. Lawson of Boston, and stands the egg on end.' Almost a miracle!
 Readers who hung breathless over the brilliant pages of "Frenzied Finance" know Mr. Lawson for a master of English Big men, all over the country, knew that his stories then were true. Had they been false, he would have been oblterated.
 MT. Lawson had promised, in "Fren- zied Finance" to make public THE REMEDY" but he felt that to do so then was to doom it to certain failure. Amid general bitterness he with held it.
 He believes the public mind has pro- gressed so far since then that now the time is ripe.
 1.-THE REMEDY" sums up the pres ent day situation; tears into the heart of the causes of our national ills shows how the different manifesta- tions all hark back and cluster around a central group of causes; shows the foolishness, the crookedness, and the Wantonness of this central group of causes, and shows how by peaceful, rational, legal means, the causes can be plotted out, the conditions reme- died
 MT. Lawson exploits no cracked brain theories in THE REMEDY", It is just common sense, plus uncommon knowledge.
 Instead of Revolution he breaches EVOLUTION.

STR|CTER LAWS FOR HANDLING GASOLINE Fire Prevention Society Makes Recommendations
 at Huntsville

Huntsville, September 27.-(Special.)- Stricter laws for the regulation of elec- tric wiring and the handling of gasoline. hay and other highly inflammable ma terials have been recommended for Huntsville by the Alabama Fire Preven- ton society, following the inspection of yesterday. The inspectors report that there is general effectiveness in elec- trical wiring and that inhammable stuff is handled too carelessly in Huntsville.
 The fact that Huntsville has an eff cient fire department was demonstrated in q practical way when an alarm of fire was turned in at ? o'clock this morning. The chemical was out in 45 seconds and all of the equipment was out within a minute and d .half This made a very favorable impression. The society will inspect every city in Alabama as soon as possible.
 Petitions asking the Southern railroad to put on q new train to operate between Tuscumbia and Stevenson will be circu- lated in every town along the railroad and will be presented to the Alabama Railroad commission at a meeting to be held in Huntsville in October The patrons of the road want a train that will leave Tuscumbia in the morning. run to Stevenson and return in the afternoon.
