Good Health Is Priceless

Up to the time a man is 40 or 50 years of age he has great store of health and vigor to draw upon. It never occurs to him that he may be recklessly squand- ering a bank account which one day he may find, has been checked out to its limit
 At the age of 40 or whereabouts he realizes that health is about the most priceless of his assets Another prob lem that confronts him Is to discover a means of retaining youth and vigor.
 The means or retaining youth and vigor are at your disposal no matter how you may be situated. The problem of reduced vigor facing a man of 40 years of age onward Is of vital import ance. He ought to think about and face the problem directly and know what 1t means. If he wants a robust happy and comfortable old age he must con- serve his health while he has it to con- serve.

NEW RATE ADVANCE
 CASE PROBABLE
Railway Commissioners Pro- test Against Proposed
 Freight Rate Increase

Washington November 21-Another advance rate case, quite as important and even more extensive than the one now pending before the interstate com mrce commission. probably will grow out Of the protest today by railway com missioners of 13 states against proposed higher freight tariffs on western rail- roads. The protest was in the form of petition to the commission for suspension of the proposed increases, and was signed by railway commission CTS of Iowa, Nebraska, Washington, California, Montana, North Dakota, oSuth Dakota, Minnesota, Oregon, Mis- souri. Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma.
 Practically all railroads operating west of the Mississippi river have filed freight tariffs with the commission, ef- fective December 15, making advances in commodity rates The increases aro not a flat amount on all freight, as in the case of the eastern lines, but vary, according to the commodity, from ? per cent to approximately 12 per cent. They affect all commodities that or dinarily enter Into interstate transpor- tation.
 It Is regarded as likely that the com mission will tentatively suspend the advances, so that an issue may be cre- ated upon which hearing may be called as to the reasonableness of the pro- posed increases.

LOTHIAN

Dothan. November 21.-(Special.) .)-After one of the hottest fights between the mayor and city council ever known in the political history of Dothan for control of the various departments of the city government, which centered around the election of temporary chief of the fire department, the controversy has been set tied and the chief elected by the council is in charge of the department with prac- tically an entirely new force.
 The problem now confronting the fire committee of the city council Is procuring competent and experienced fire fighter as permanent chief of the department. The committee wishes to obtain a man who has had experience on the force of some large city, and who has worked up to at least lieutenant's or captains s place It is thought that such a man might be obtained in either Montgomery, Birmingham or Atlanta and one is being sought in these cities.
 Dr. W. H. Sanders of Montgomery, state health officer, has been appealed to by the Houston County Medical society for an opinion in regard to the controversy between the city council and the society regarding a health officer for the city of Dothan.
 In 1913 the society elected Dr. T. M. Barnett city health officer for a term of two years. The new city council, which has only recently come into office, con tended. on the opinion of City Attorney E. H. Hill, that Dr. Barnett's term of office expired with the old city administration, and that the society should elect a new health officer to serve during the term of office of the new administration. The society held that Dr. Barnett was legally health officer for the city until 1915.
 Dr. Sanders was expected to come to Dothan for conference, but was pre- vented by business matters. He wrote the society a lengthy letter. upholding them in their views, and backed by Dr. Sanders and its own counsel, the society, at a special meeting Friday afternoon, resolved to stand by it's former action and declared Dr. Barnett to be legally and duly elected to the office.
 During the controversy Mayor Baker had employed another physician to act as temporary health officer and 1t Is like ly that some action may be taken by the society in reference to this matter.
 The matter is now squarely up to the council for final decision. and will be decided at the next regular meeting.

NEGLIGENCE CHARGED TO TAX COLLECTOR

Montgomery. November 9.-(Special) Negligence in making settlements with the state and county is charged against w. D. O'Brien, tax collector of Talla- poosa county, by W. R. Foster, examiner of public accounts, who has made re- port to the governor on the books of MT. O'Brien and other officials of that county.
 MT. O'Brien is charged with failure to make settlements aggregating about S27o0 In the language of the examiner:
 The investigation shows that MT O Brien has been exceedingly negligent in making final settlements with both the state and county officials and in paying to them all monies collected by him for the two years ending July 1, 1914. I find that on account of his failure to make these settlements for the year 19l3-19i4 he Is due the state the sum of $169 69 and the county the sum of $2051 55" For October, 1914, collections, the examiner says. MT. O'Brien is due the state S220 16 and the county s296.75.

CONVICT REPORT IN
 HANDS OF PRINTER

Montgomery. November 2i.-tSpecial) An unusual feature of the anadrennal report of the state convict department. which has Just been sent to the printer, will be large number of illustrations, showing various interior and exterior scenes in the state convict system.

HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville. November N.--(Special.) That the development of the enormous water power of Muscle Shoals In the Ten nessee river would eventually make the Tennessee valley one of the greatest man ufacturing regions of the world, and that if the people of this valley desire this prospect to be realized they ought to make the fact known to Congress, was the sense of Col J. W. Worthington's ad- dress here last night Colonel Worthing- ton has been associated with the enter prise several years and probably knows more about 1t than any other man living. Speaking on the present status of the enterprise, he said the matter now rests entirely with Congress, that the hydra electric company is ready to make good on its contract.
 Colonel Worthington estimated that sao.ooo horse power can be developed at Muscle Shoals.
