THIS DAY

Horace Annesley Vachell, in the London Daily Mail. Sons of our seagirt isel The battle tides at flood.
 With mad appeal to the Lord
 A tprant draws his sword A monarch of discord, a king of iron and blood! Pray for the peace of the world as our legions go!
 Do we grudge our aid?
 Do we shrink dismayed ~ From the price to be paid? An empire thunders-No! An empire purged by pain lies meath Thy christening rod.
 We fight for the right
 Of disarming might; And if dark our night, Thy will be done. Q God!

How Women Dress

From the Scottsboro Age.
 False modesty is measured by inches and it depends altogether from which end the garment is cut. If lady marches into a ballroom with scarcely any covering at all on above the waist line she is considered in the height of fashion. If the same lady were to march in the same ballroom with bare limbs up to her knees she would be dis graced forever

Colds and Kissing

OO1uS anu hiooiIS
 The subject of City Health Officer R. M. Cunningham's weekly bulletin No. IS, published in yesterdays Age Herald, was on Common Colds" As modern science has found that the cold is contagious the danger of kiss iny any person suffering with the ail- ment referred to was pointed out and stressed.
 The city of Birmingham was singu- larly fortunate when it secured the services of Dr. Cunningham for the important position of health officer. Few men in the medical profession hereabouts have had such wide experi- ence as the genial doctor and added to his professional attainments and large stock of common sense is a vast store of enthusiasm. It is enthu- siasm like his which is a real asset, for it impels one to do his utmost for the benefit of the community.
 Dr. Cunningham's bulletins are of great educational value. The good doctor having the literary faculty dis cusses disease, it's causes and preven- ton, in language that the lay public can readily understand. He has writ ten about levers and other we'll known maladies, but it is quite safe to say that no discussion of his has had such popular appeal as bulle- tin No. IS. Everyone has had a Ncold. Likewise everybody has had some experience in kissing. Hence the unusual interest in this bulletin. Dr. Cunningham gives us a number of scientific facts about colds, and when it comes to predisposing causes to be avoided and the proper hygene as to clothing, food and ventilation, his re- marks are at once Illuminating and practical. But as to his caution about kissing many persons will dissent; not because Birmingham's health officer is wrong in theory, but because the majority of men and women who kiss would thousand times rather have colds than to go through the operation which Dr. Cunningham prescribes.
 In order to avoid the danger of catching cold, if we would carry out Dr. Cunningham's idea, we must kiss on the hand or on the forehead. If one insist on kissing the mouth, :, the mouth should be sterilized. Reciprocal, inspiratory mouth kiss ing should be avoided" says Dr. Gun ningham, except after thoroughly scrubbing with soap and water, and then only through sterile cotton batting"
 When Dr. Cunningham was engaged in politics and when he was acting governor of Alabama he indulged in much humor. In his stump speeches no one could 'surpass him in the mar ration of comic stories, but in medical talk he has usually been only serious. He must have chuckled to himself. however, when he added that after the sterilized cotton batting method there would not be much danger in kissing, for kissing would probably be left off,"
 Many years ago certain savants condemend kissing because of the dan ger from health point of view, and some careful women, when they kissed averted the lips and offered the cheek. In ancient times the germ theory had not been exploited. The most eminent philosophers were igno- rant of the existence of disease-germs and the poets and great writers dealt with the kiss as natural, harmless and altogether reasonable. Plato in one of his fugitive pieces describes the pleasure of the Platonic kiss. Kissing

A Senatorial Joke
From the Eufaula Citizen.

From the Eufaula Citizen.
 The United States Senate has de- veloped one real curiosity who will go down into history as the most hated man who has entered that body within the past 10 generations. Senator Shep- pard of Texas has introduced a resolu- tion for the reduction of the salaries !of government employees. According to his resolution the reduction proposed in the salary of a senator would amount to $900 for the year. It may be possible that the senator is In real earnest and honest in his proposition. but it will be difficult to convince the people, in the light of past history, but that he is playing to the galleries. Of course, he will be laughed out of the Senate. The Senate is not in the business of reducing their salary.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
The Darden Bill

T am inclined to believe said J. T Stokeley, the well known lawyer. 'thai the move to abolish hanging as the legal mode of execution in Alabama, is a good one''
 In the legislature. John A. Darden of eoosa county will introduce & bill substi- tuting electrocution for hanging. The pro- visions of that bill are interesting. It pro- vides that for the equipment of a death chamber at the Wetumpka prison s1000 shall be appropriated. that a condemned criminal shall be delivered to the warden 20 days before the date set for his ex- ecution. that of the execution nothing is to be divulged through newspapers or otherwise. and that for each execution the warden or his assistant shall be paid by the state the sum of s25.
 It Is considered probable that the bill. possibly with certain notifications, will be enacted into law.

THE SADDEST CHRISTMAS

An Albuquerque minister has named this the ''saddest Christ mas the world has known since the middle ages," and over half of the civilized world it is not likely than any Christmas time in medieval history can rival this one in bitter gloom. The starving Belgian people. their na- tion long since wrecked are starY ing without sympathy or assis- tance. In Russia, in France, in Germany. in Austria. in England are the empty homes. In Berlin alone, a dispatch said yesterday, more than seventy thousand fathers and brothers had been brought back dead. Out in the frozen trenches the Christmas day will not be so terrible, for it will be much like other days to the millions fighting for their lives. But in the homes of these millions, and in other millions of homes where the added pinch of the war burden is strong, what a day this Christmas day will be.
 Ii this war should be the last. and it is more than an idle specu- lation, it may be that this sad dest Christmas" will mark ed the dawning of a new and a brighter day for all mankind. If around our firesides and our Christmas trees, and amid our laughing, happy children on Christmas day, all the men and women of the nations at peace should hope earnestly and strong ly for the dawning of this idea in the minds of the people at war it might, perhaps, send a ray of hope into the places. high and low, where the Christmas gloom IS deepest.

Kansas City Cattle
 and Sheep Prices

Kansas City Stock Yards,
 Dec. q, 1914. Thursday and Friday there were signs of life in the cattle market, and an adequate test would have shown a slight advance. Today receipts are light at all points, 1000 head here, and the market is strong to 15 higher on killing grades of cattle than the low point of the recent break, stockers and feed CTS 15 to 25 higher. The capac- ity of the market for fat cattle will be limited this week and next and if there IS any advance, it will be because the run is light. Poultry is now having it's inning. Commission men say there will be a fair run of cattle in January, in which event there will not be much of an advance Tn prices. After January the run will drop off, according to authorities. and there will be a rise in prices, At the oil mills there are fewer cattle on feed than last year, but the Texas mills expect to put many more cattle on feed, and will eventual ly exceed last years feeding, provided they can get the cattle. A feature here last week was the purchase of several trains of feeding cattle to go to Oklahoma, buyers being forced by lack of cattle in Texas to change thelr ususal custom ot buying there. Short fed cattle are coming. Some near prime steers had a bid of $9. 50 here last Tuesday, were sent to St. Louis and had to sell there at $9. Other cattle forwarded in search of a better market sold lower at destination than bids here. Top quarantine steers today brought $7, Okla homa steers weighing 1904 lbs. Bulk of stockers and feeders sell at $6. 75 to $7,65. one drove of feeders today, choice fieshy white faces, at $8. 15, said to be 40 cents higher than last Thursday. The killers would 1 have bought these cattle today at the price. Sheep and lambs are selling 10 to 25 higher today, l following several days of 1 extreme sluggishness late last week, due to marketing of | quarantIned stuff at Chicago, and to bad mutton outlet. Lambs broke worse than sheep, but l there appears to be genuine re- covery today, several lots of | lambs bringing S8.25, although | not strictly choice, ewes worth up to $5.6O, light weight year lings %.50. Receipts are 5000 | head, and the run will be light here indefinitely, as feeding is light Tn Kansas City's territory.

How To Grow Long,
Beautiful Hair
By a Hair Specialist.

It is not hard to stop the hair from
falling out and promote It's growth II
the right means are used. There is no
hope for the scalp where the hair roots
are dead and the scalp Is shiny. How
ever, to those who have not reached
this condition, immediate steps should
be taken to stop 1t before 1t is too
late. Here Is a simple recipe which
you can make at home, that will stop
the hair from falling out, promote its
growth and eradicate scalp eruptions
and scalp humors. I know of cases
where the hair has grown from four
to five inches in a few months after
using this simple recipe: To q half
pint of water add ! OF. bay rum. a
small box of Barbo Compound and u
OF. of glycerine. and apply to the hair,
rubbing with the finger tips, two or
three times a week. These ingredients
can be obtained at any drug store at
very little cost and mixed at home. This
recipe not only promotes the growth
of the hair but darkens streaked. faded
gray hair and makes 1t soft and glossy.
