State Work Hampered

they are terribly hampered by lack of
money in issuing necessary literature
We know, however, how very active that
department is along lines of public lee
lures, and in the work against the hook
worm, aided by the Rockefeller funds
But specific education against tubercui-
losis will never be done except by a spe-
c1fic state organization. Such an organi-
zatlon now exists in Georgia and the
other day 1t was announced that $4,000
had been left by viii for that associa-
tion's work This will enable them to
keep one or. more lecturers in the field
constantly, and to thoroughly systematize
statewide social service, which is Of
more Importance even than the establish
ment OF sanatoria and hospitals Com
pare with that the less than $500 which
was all that Alabama had this year, Not
only education, but legislation is needed
IN order to secure an adequate return of
the death rate from tuberculosis through
out the state; also for the proper segre-
cation of dangerous cases. Again such
legislation is needed to authorize and
conroel all counties to establish proper
places in which such segregation can be
accomplished; also uniform system for
tuberculosis hospital boards, who should
be empowered TO collect from such pa
tients as are able to bear their own ex-
penses and should not be made chargeable
to the public funds. This is supremely
necessary in order to avoid the pauperi-
cation of estimable but unfortunate cit
liens and their families
The question is therefore, whether
Alabama is going to allow Tennessee and
Georgia to hold ground permanently in
advance of her own in the line of social
progress.

present many of them in Ashland
have to walk a distance which in our
boyhood days, even, would have been
considered a long walk in a country
district. An eighth grade pupil liv-
ing at the Benton Bowers place
would have to walk to the West Side
school and a high school pupil living
at the Billings place would have to
walk to the high school, and to them
a street railway would be of inesti-
mable value, but before voting the
charter let the city be sure that it is
going to get what it needs in ex-
change for the property rights in our
streets which long before the end of
fifty years may be worth hundreds
of thousands of dollars.

BUSINESS FRIENDSHIPS.

When you walk into your office
it is often said that all considera-
tions of sentiment or friendship
must be left behind. There are great
rewards, though, that come from de-
veloping business friendships, and
particularly on forming trade asso-
Citations with the business men of
your own town.
A business man may feel that he
saves a few cents by going to some
distant city to place an order for
some supply. Let him first look at
what he has lost by giving his
money to build up the town he never
saw.
If he had ordered his supply at
home the bulk of his money would
have remained at home, and would
have helped to make other home in
dustries.
Perhaps still more important than
that, looking at things from a purely
selfish consideration, is the fact that
when a business man buys his sup
plies of home dealer he makes a
business friendship that in most
cases is very valuable. The man
whom he has patronized will do any
thing in his power to return the
favor.
A genuine business ally made for
you in this way is working for you
in times when you know it not. Peo-
pie discuss the merits of this or that
store far more than the merchant
realizes. The business man who
buys all his supplies at home when
ever possible will find that he has
a friend at court in many widely sep
arated circles, who want him to sue
ceed because the home community
profits by his success
If you want favors from the local
government, if you want to stand
well with the working classes. if you
need accommodation in times oil
financial strain, you can't have toe
many friends at home who will say
a good word for you. The supply
firm hundred miles away never
returns you one thing except the
smiles of its statesmen. Those don't
count much
