 SAYS SCIENTIST Rid the World of One Thing and Every Other Man Be- comes a Centenarian

How to prolong human life' is now a subject of worldwide discussion. One noted scientist asserts that if the world could be freed of one thing the average length of human life would bound up to the century mark That one thing is stomach disorders.
 The curse of modern civilization is stomach trouble. It and it's train of off, springs, liver, kidneys and blood disorders. are causing the death of one person per second.
 There is one way to relieve the world of stomach trouble: there may be others. But this one is sure and in harmony with nature. It is by the use of Vitalitas. Vi- talitas Is taken out of the earth. It sus- bends natural forces and has wonderful combination of chemical-mineral proper ties. Vitalitas is extracted in condensed liquid form. Nothing Is added to it and 1t is free of any habit forming drugs or any harmful ingredients. It forces from the system many stomach disorders and ailments generally of liver, kidneys, bow els and blood. An invalid or delicate child may take it. Remarkable cures of chronic ills are constantly reported iron, its use. It is natures best tonic and cor rective. Talk with the demonstrator and sample vitalitas at Averyt's Drug Store. 109-11l 10th street., or write there for in- formation. Also for sale by Pegram-Pat- ton Drug Co.,. Bessemer, Ala.-Adv.

Wins Swimming Title

San Francisco, July 2i-Ludy Laneer of the Los Angeles Athletic club won the half-mie open water Amateur Ath- letic Union swimming championship here today in 12 minutes. 3-5 seconds break ing the American record by 4-5 seconds. have presumed that the time is near at hand when the people of the United States Will use all the wheat which the farmers harvest. All sorts of comments were made year ago which related to the gradual absorption by the American people of the fresh meat commodities so that 1t was ex- pected we would be compelled to rely upon Argentine and perhaps New Zealand for beef and mutton. In fact considerable amount of South American beef and New Zealand mutton was imported.s Yet be- tween October and June we were able to sell to foreign countries foodstuffs in crude conditions, animals and foodstuff partly or wholly manufactured the money value of which was SSS7, ,OOO,O00. Yet there was no scarcity of food in the United States. This demonstration is more grati- flying because 1t makes 1t clear that the United States can still maintain it's pre- emirence as an exporter of food prodpcts
 So much has been published reporting heavy orders in the United States for war material that not many persons have realized to what extent food products make up the total of our great exports from October 1 until June l. There was, in fact, a decrease in the export of man. ufacture6 articles ready for consumption, and the total of these was $187, 900 900 value less than the export money value of az ricultural products
 The other side of the book which tells of our exports and imports will contain record which will make 1t impossible for us in the present calendar year to con- template the greatest international trade we have ever had. Germany Is not send ing to the United States anything to speak of Great Britain and France have been compelled to reduce their exports to the United States. Even if we were disposed to buy heavily in those countries we would be unable to make the bargains. for they are all so greatly occupied with war that they could not accept to any great extent American orders. It is in this decrease in imports that some of those who are trying to obtain an outlook into trade conditions as they will be established after the war find cause for some apprehension. It was voiced recently by George w. Per- kins, who said that as soon as the war is over Germany, Great Britain and France will concentrate every effort pos sible to regain and increase trade with the United States. MT. Perkins thinks they will regain and increase it unless Congress is persuaded to modify the ex- listing tariff law.

LET THE CHILDREN START SCHOOL ON TIME

The following recommendation has been given the city commissioners by the Bir- mingham Equal Suffrage associations
 ''It Is recommended that the city com mission request the board of education. in the event that two months must be eliminated from the school year, that this two months be taken off at the end of the school term and not one month at the beginning and one at the end so that time may be had to consider some means that may make the entire term possible"
 Much has been said on this subject, some of the serious reasons for it's con- siderat tion are the facts that parents may. through the school improvement as- sociations, and the Mothers and Fathers clubs. be able to devise some means of extending the school term. If this is found impracticable then the gardening idea may further be developed in ude spring, when the months sacrifice from the regular term Is fitted to that kind of school work.
 It is hoped that the board of educa- tion will consider this favorably if the recommendation is given them by the commissioners.

TWO MUNICIPAL GARDENS ALREADY GROWING

Making hay-or peas and corn-while the sun shines is what has literally been done by the municipal garden commit tee.
 Two gardens have been planted and are beginning to look very encouraging and pretty. These gardens are planted in prominent places on and near High land avenue. One Is at the Country club station and one on the triangle south of Cairmont street, north of Highland and east of Twenty third street.
 These gardens are planted in corn and peas with a border of sunflowers and a bed of Zinias. This popular and bright colored flower no longer shaH be called the old maid of the flower kingdom, but Is now the sought for and beloved adorner of boulevard and garden. How our civil ization has progressed. The wall flower and the old maid are now the inspiration of the city beautiful.
 Should the municipal garden commit tee not be able to accomplish much this year. on account of the city's strait ened circumstances and the scarcity of teams, the small beginning will be the initial effort for a big undertaking next year
 However, the committee is glad of even this small demonstration and when Bir- mingham Is again abloom with civic pros- perity just watch us grow"

HOGAN REMAINS
 CONFIDENT DESPITE
 REPORTS OF DEFEAT
Reiterates Former Expressions-ls Assured of Sufficient Number of Votes to Pass Medical
 College Bill

Montgomery, July H.-(Special.) )-Dr. Hogan of Jefferson is not depressed in that certain newspapers published this afternoon a story to the effect that the fight to move the medical college from Mobile to Birmingham is lost. Tonight, in a formal card he reiterated former ex- pressions of confidence.
 His remarks follow:
 statements published that the medical college bill will not pass and that the speaker of the house will vote against the same are not founded on fact. I am more than confident that the bill will be enacted into law. The argument in favor of this bills immediate enactment into law cannot be refuted and l am assured that we have more than enough votes to pass the blll.'

Montgomery. July 2l.-(Special.) )-Did the vote last winter the remodeled child labor law really intend that the law should be made effective?
 In February this question was consld cred pertinent because of certain dead ening" amendments attached to the bill, and because a section providing for the employment of agents by means of whom to enforce the law was stricken.
 A second time the question is consid- cred pertinent. For in the senate and house today a bill was introduced by Mir Hartwell and MT. Fite of Marion, re- spectively giving the prison inspector

 Senator Hill concluded the argument against the bill by presenting what was considered the strongest plea against sub hitting the proposed amendment. His argument was entirely legal, and his prime point. the contention that the deot of the state had been contracted in vio- lation of that section of the consttu- ton which denies the state the right to borrow in excess of sSo0,0oO.

CHANGE IN SCHOOL
GRADING SYSTEM.

At the late meeting of the board of
education 1t was decided upon the rec
ommendation Of the superintendent to
change the grading Of the elementary
schools Of the city. Beginning with
September, 1915, all pupils will be classi-
fed by the eight-grade instead OF the
nine-grade system. This is in accord
ance with the custom Of an increasing
majority of the towns and cities Of New
England, and with the almost univer-
sal custom Of the other states Of our
country. The first three grades in our
city have been graded upon the new
system for the past year. but all will
now be placed upon 1t.
To effect this all pupils who have done
satisfactory work in the fifth, sixth. sew
enth and eighth grades Of the city will
be promoted to the fifth, sixth. seventh
and eighth grades. respectively. Of the
new system. This change will be in name
only, as all pupils will do the coming
year the same work in their studies as
they would have done without the change
and in June, 1916 classes will be gradual
ed from the eighth grade to the high
school. The pupils of the present fourth
grade will be promoted, if their work
has been satisfactory. to grade four A.
From the first to the fourth grade in
elusive, promotions will be made semi
annually, and the work Of each grade is
divided into two parts. known as work
for the first half and A workfor the sec
ond half.
Again in the first two grades promo
lions are made not at any stated period,
but only when the required amount or
work has been completed. The result
of this arrangement is that the length OF
time required to complete the first two
grades will vary with the ability Of the
child from one to three years.
For the next year an important change
will be- made in the ungraded room. This
will be placed at the Pleasant street
building instead of at the Redington
street building for two special reasons.
First, that the large boys and girls who
make up a major Part of the member
ship of this school may be associated
with children Of their own age and size.
Second, that it may accommodate pupils
from any part Of the city, owing to Its
central location.
There will be assigned to this build
ing pupils from the grades below the
eighth, who are a number of years be-
hind their grades. In this school the
pupils will receive the individual help
needed in the essential branches to ena-
BILE them to enter a suitable grade or to
obtain that instruction which will be of
the greatest service to them in their
life work.
