ury, but as a necessity No modern
city would deny itself hospital, yet
comparatively few men realize that dis
pensaries are in many particulars more
important than hospitals. Hospitals
| rarely deal with the incipient stages of
diseases. That is done far more FREE
quently by the dispensary. and the COM
munity profits far more by this bud
nipping process in dispensaries than by
the palliation of advanced disease in
hospital wards. Moreover, many people
are treated In dispensaries whose all
ments do not qualify them for hospital
service. Dr. Richard c. Cabot of Bos-
ton put the matter strongly when he
said: The dispensary, then, hits the
problem of disease at three most vital
points where the wards cannot.
Three Most Vital Points
IL. 1t roots out foci of disease In
families or neighborhoods, following
home the clues presented in the person
of the dispensary patient, and so pre-
venting disease.
80. 1t checks disease in it's incip-
iency.
80 It deals with chronic cases and
keeps the patients from relasping into a
discouraged and vegetative existence
'The university free dispensary has
been rendering great service No Birming
ham-indeed, far greater service than
Birmingham fully comprehends. Tt Is to-
day serving substantially 1000 people
each month. One-fourth of the cases
treated are medical, one-fourth surgi-
cal, ane one-half are about equally dis
tributed among the following depart
ments: a. ear. nose and throat; (O eye;
80 diseases of children; "a diseases of
women; (5) diseases of men. =
THE numbers demanding dispensary
service have been increasing at the rate
of from 10 to Is per cent each month.
There is at this time a great over
crowding. Indeed the available space
cannot adequately accommodate one
half the patients now clamoring for help.
These simple facts present great
need and a great opportunity. I be-
lieve that the heart of Birmingham will
respond. and that the need will be met.
The higher life of the city is on trial.
If it has the money to erect great bank
ing houses and hotels and office build
ings. surely 1t has the money to answer
this call of humanity to erect a modest
structure to relieve human suffering and
to protect human society. I bid you
God speed In this great task. 1t may
test your patience and energy and en-
thusiasm and faith, but the men who de-
vote themselves to 1t cannot fail to reap.
the uplift of thought that comes of alli-
ance with large truth and just cause.
Yours very sincerely,

.CONV|CTS ESCAPE
. FROM BANNER MINE
Four Make Sensational Get
away by Tunneling
Through Coal

Montgomery. October 25.-(Special.)
Tunnelling their way from the dismal
blackness of a coal mine to the surface
of the ground, many feet above their
heads, four negro convicts. employed at
the Banner mipes. made sensational
escape on the night of October %, and
are still fugitives from justice.
News OF the dramatic escape reached
the state convict department Saturday, in
letter from J. p. Hall. warden at the
mines. According to Warden Hail. the
convicts dug tunnel from the interior
of the mine to the surface of the ground,
making their escape in the darkness OF
the night.
All the convicts were sentenced to serve
long terms. Their names are: Ernest
Mcdonald OF Waller county, Joe Bessick
of Mobile Tom Conley of Sumter county
and Bob Childers of Mobile.
Immediately after learning of the es-
cape Governor O'Neal offered reward
of $50 each for the arrest of the men
and their Bertillon measurements, to-
gether with their photographs win be
published as a means of assisting in
their recapture.

BYLAWS HIGHWAY.
ASSOCIATION TOBE
DRAF TED TUESDAY
Executive Committee of the
Birmingham Montgomery
Association Will Per-
feet Organization

Montgomery, October 25.-(Special.)
Members of the executive committee of
the Montgomery Highway
association will meet In the office OF
State Highway Engineer. w s. Keller
next Tuesday for the purpose of perfect
ing the organization and drafting the
constitution and bylaws. The commit
tee will also consider the question of in
cooperating the association, and various
other details In connection with the con-
struction of the road.
With the appointment of Judge Dan
Green of Birmingham as the Jefferson
county member of the executive COM
mittee, that body Is now complete. The
each county through which the road will
pass. were named at the meeting at
Clanton last wednesday, but 1t was de-
cided to postpone the appointment of
the Jefferson county member until later.
Judge Green is enthusiastic on the ques-
ton of road building, and his appoint
ment on the executive committee of the
birmingham Montgomery Highway asso-
citation will probably meet with large ia
vor and approval.
The other members Of the executive
committee are: w. S. Keller ex officio
chairman; John p Kohn of Montgomery.
Frank w. Lull of Gilmore, d. H. Mar
bury of Autauga, w. w. Fox OF Chiffon,
and r. e. Bowden of Shelby county.
The incorporation of the association
will very likely be authorized by the
committee when 1t meets next Tuesday.
There was a strong sentiment at the
Clanton meeting favoring the incorpora-
ton of the association, and there is lit
tie doubt that the committee will carry
out the wishes of the members,
With the Incorporation of the associa-
ton, that organization will then be on a
working basis. and will be In position
to command the confidence of the peo-
pie of the various counties interested in
the road.
There is every indication that work on
the birmingham Montgomery highway
will begin within the next few weeks,
as the project has created large amount
of interest in the entire territory which
the road will traverse 1t is estimated
that the road will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $200,0Ao. and II is expected that the
association will find this amount available
whenever the survey and plans are COM
plete and presented in definite shape.

also are headed that way. What has
been the erstwhile cross of the pudgy
person has become the desire Of the
svelte. Attenuated ladies sigh for tum-

stomach pads of rubber are offered
to supply any deficiency in the stomach
line, and the newest corsets are cut
over the abdomen so that ones stomach
may appear untrammelled and TO its

draped up high in front to enhance
the full stomach effect, and to be truly

Consistently funny, and presented by
