That kind of gossip, it might be re-

Currency Legislation
Experienced Washington newspaper
correspondents and politicians from the
first predicted the extreme probability Of
the failure of the currency bill at the
current special session of Congress- 1t is
one of the most complex problems ever
before the statesmen, and new congress-
men, no matter how much they may think
they know about the subject, are contin-
ually stubbing their toes. The President
has been acquiring a line of information
bearing on currency that is likely to be of
value later on. Money legislation is one
of the most complicated propositions Con-
gress has to tackle.
The official records shows that from
January 1. last, down to November IA, the
number of immigrants who landed in the
United States was 1,259,0l7, as compared
with 943,499 during the corresponding pc
riod of 1912, an increase of 325,51S. 1t is
a rule among the experts to regard i'm

The pores of the skin are little mouths
Each has o. sort of valve that opens into
tiny canals connecting with the blood
These mouth-llke pores become closed
When these canals fill up, the valve re-
fuses to work and pimples, blotches, rash,
letter, liver spots, etc, appear.
Stuart's Calcium Walters keep the pores
open and the canals then carry off the
waste matter the blood empties into them.
Don't use cosmetics. They will not hide
pimples long, and then they clog the skin.
You ought to know that the skin breathes
in air almost like the lungs. The pores
throw off impurities every minute of the
day. To plaster the skin with paste,
ETC., is to actually prevent nature doing
her work.
Stuart's Calcium Walters will in a very
short time, cleanse the blood, open the
pores and remove all blemishes so that
your skin will become of a peach and
cream kind so much desired.

LAND CONGRESS NOTES
BY N. +. THOMPSON
Secretary and General Manager

The Land congress will inaugurate
a system of monthly reports from ev-
cry county in Alabama. preferably
through commercial organizations,
where they exist, and will organize
others where they do not exist, for
the purpose of getting in close touch
with the progress of the state and aid
ing such localities as will best take
care of incoming settlers.
These county organizations will be
induced to hold regular conferences
with the farmers around them to learn
how mutual effort may increase pro-
ductions of all food crops and aid In
remedying such untoward local condi-
tions as may be found to exist and
which are retarding the agricultural
advancement of that locality.
The Land congress will direct its
energies toward securing operation
between the land owners and the rail-
roads in locating settlers. looking after
these when located and aiding them
in every possible way to become salts
fled and permanent citizens.
There are among the directors of the
Land congress eight representatives
from the immigration departments of
railroads operating in Alabama ana
these are all anxious to cooperate In
peopling the state with desirable SET
tiers.
A new business organization has
been formed at Tuskegee for the pur-
pose of working with the farmers
around in building up that locality.
The organization win begin its actiy-
tiles with s24OO in the treasury. Watch
for results at Tuskegee.
The Selma Chamber of Commerce is
engaged in a debt raising campaign in
addition to its activities in fostering
agricultural development in Dallas

splendid work for its city and sec
ton.

Madison county is giving much at
tention to the raising of cattle and
hogs. 1t was Madison that raised the
premium COW of the United States a
few years ago, Lilly Flag" and that
county has now some of the finest
horses and hogs in the country.
Tell 1T to the nations of the world
Alabama leads the world in intensive
corn production. There have been
raised on one acre of land in Ala
bapa 2S7 bushels of corn, which Is
within 13 bushels of the maximum ca
pacity of an acre of ground, accord
ing to the estimate of the late la
mented Dr. Knapp.
Alabama leads the world in the
amount of cotton produced on one acre
of ground. Sam Mccall, an ex-slave,
rs years of age, has produced one bale
of cotton on a measured one-eighth Of
an acre, or at the rate of eight bales
to the acre.

creasing doses. These are injected
under the skin, very small quantity.
4 fraction of cubic centimeter being
used at first These injections are
given at intervals of every three to
seven days. The horses temperature
and general health are watched close
ly and IL the reaction is too violent
the dose must be lessened temporarily
and often the horse has to be reject
ed entirely.
When the horse has reached the
stage when 1t can take large guam
titles Of the toxin then the productive
period of the horse begins and after
he has been under treatment for sew
eral months the animal is bled and
the antitoxic strength of the serum is
estimated. From this it may be sup
losed that the horse contracts diph-
liberia from the toxin which it takes
into the system but this is not the
case. The reason is that he gets his
toxin from germs which have been
killed and diphtheria is only con.
yeyed by the living bacteria.
The bleeding of the horse is done
az follows. A trocar and camilla is
introduced into the tugular vein, the
trocar is drawn out. leaving the hol-
low silver tube through which the
blood flows into covered jars through
a sterile rubber tube The blood is
allowed to stand until the corpuseles
settle to the bottom and the blood
plasma gathers on top. This top LIQUID
is then drawn off and from this the
antitoxin is prepared.

PUBLIC OPINION
Diphtheria AntItoxin.

To the Editor of The Gate City.
Many people are opposed to anti
toxin because they do not understand
its nature. When a person is taken
with an attack Of diphtheria, the
poison or toxin which the germs pro-
duce In the throat, is absorbed into
the blood and there causes a sub
stance TO be produced which tends TO
neutralize the toxin This substance
Is called antitoxin, II this antitoxin
is produced in large enough quantity
to entirely counterfeit the quantity Of
toxin the patient RECEIVERS, but If the
amount OF toxin Is too much TO be
thus neutralized the patient dies. The
antitoxin that is administered during
diphtheria by the physician is the
same as that produced in the blood Of
the patient and It works by neutral
izing the toxin Thus 1t may be seen
that antitoxin is not really drug
but Is very similar to substance
produced in the body itself.
In preparing diphtheria antitoYin
young healthy horses are used Other
animals may be used but the horse Is
preferred because IT is mostly free
from diseases which affect man. 1t
IS also large animal and is always
to be had. The horses are carefully
examined by veterinarians and are
rejected unless found to be free from
sny communicable disease. They are
kept under observation for at least
two weeks before being accepted.
Each horse receives at intervals a
dose of tetanus antitoxin to protect
lin from tetanus or lockiaw.
After the toxin has been prepared
from The diphtheria germs the horse
receives a series of gradually in
