M'CALL RUSHED
 TONEW ORLEANS From Porto Rico for His Life-Remarkable St ment Concerl g
 Vitalitas

Seriously i'll, G. w. Mccall, prominent plantation overseer in Porto Rico, was hastily brought to New Orleans for treatment. He relates remarka ble story of three months experience in New Orleans, which briefly outlined Is as follows:
 ~.Porto Rico is my home, and am there a plantation overseer My age is 43. Three months ago I came to New Orleans to be treated for chronic dysentery; spent sometime in a local hospital but did not get better. Then l moved to the Cosmopolitan hotel and employed a nurse to attend me. Last Saturday I got my first Vitalitas and began using it. The following Tuesday I got out of bed for the first time, came uptown with the intention of buying q full supply of Vitalitas, for l was afraid l could not get any more of it. I now feel 100 per cent better and have gained three pounds after taking Vii talitas five days. l eat most any kind Of food I would testify in the highest court in the land for Vitalitas. I can't tell you how much good it has done me"

"'The new world reli- = zion is distinctly a step forward from the heterogeneous mass of suggestion advice, and ethical formulae offered as cure-a1ls for the great world evil. It gathers up the fundamentals of so- ciology on the one hand and theology on the other. and shows their inter- dependence in a manner so sane and logical that neither the confirmed skep- tic nor the conservative churchman can fail to be impressed"
 Graham Taylor, Religion In Social Action" 1913. Tn reality, 1t Is the story of religion made social. lNe made serviceable, an ideal made real that characterizes the book. One who wishes to see if religion can express itself in life rather than in creed will find here convincing evidence. Few volumes better show the call to social service.

 ID JACKSON ROUTE
CreveIing Notifies Keller They Are Not Biased in Favor of Any Special
 Route

Montgomery, October 22.-(Speeial. That members of the Jackson Highway association are determined to give al routes a square deal in locating the high. way south of Nashville is the declara. tion of J. G. Creveling, Jr.. of Nashville vice president of the association.
 In telegram today to W. S. Keller state highway engineer, MT. Creveling denied the report that he was biased ir favor of the Mississippi route, and asked that Engineer Keller dispel any belief to the contrary.
 'I can assure you that am not biased or in favor of any particular route," said Mir. Creveling. Please dispel any belief existing to the contrary You know that an honest effort has been made from the beginning to give all routes square deal. This policy is being followed and will be continued. Pathfinders to New Orleans yesterday; urge your people to meet them as they pass"
 It will be recalled that several days ago a report was sent out from Nash ville to the effect that the Mississippi route had practically been selected as the official route of the highway south of Nashville, although the committee se- lected to locate the highway had not gone over the Alabama route.
 Desiring to ascertain whether or not there was any foundation for the report Mir. Keller telegraphed to MT. Crevel- ing. The report was promptly denied, as indicated above.
 The pathhnders probably will begin the trip through Alabama tomorrow or Mon- day morning Owing to the heavy rains of the past week, the roads in the south ern part of Mississippi are said to have been almost impossible, and the tour ing party has been delayed one or two days It Is now believed that the party, which was scheduled to leave Mobile this morning, will not be able to leave be- fore Monday morning.

states and governments. The public Is entitled to know what pupiic officials are doing and what policies are being consid- cred or enforced, the/gh, of course, il may, and often does happen, in individual cases, that information cannot be gen. erally given out without injury to the cause involved; and in such cases the responsible official must withhold pub- licity temporarily, and, possibly, in some cases, permanently. It is fair to say, pub- lie officials have often been as indiffer- ent to the rights and interests of the general public as private orrTcIals or per- sons have been. It woSuld be better for all concerned if the officials of munich palities and even states and countries were more inclined than they have gener- ally been to confide the knowledge in their possession to the people at large.
 Proper Publicity Would Have Pre-
 vented Present War
 This idea has peculiar application to tho present situation in Europe. If the masses of the people of the different na- tions engaged in the terrible conflicts that are now waging in Europe were fully in- formed of all the facts, is 1t to be SUD- posed the wars would be much longer continued? If they and every one of them, in the armies or at home, knew, as now published in our newspapers, that the daily cost of the war is sS5, 100000, or at the rate of 0.OO0, 100000 per year, an annual interest burden, at per cent, of $1 ,500, 100000. and that the indirect loss is about as much more; if they were aware that, on the basis of the war being prolonged to next February, there will have been killed in battle at least 5,0G0.- 000 men, deaths from sickness, 2,5OO. GOO. and permanently crippled 100000 more and these the very best; if they could sec that 75 per cent of the men in the armies who survive will never fully re- cover, physically or morally, from the effects of their service and association; if they realized that their countries are drifting, nay, speeding, into bankruptcy and must necessarily hereafter and for many years be at decided disadvan- tage in the race with other nations for progress and success; If they understood that on the present basis of pension pay ments in the United States the amount to be paid for this purpose in consequence of the war will approximate s1, ,0O0, 900, ,0OC per year;~ if the leaders, the monarchs the few who plan and control and com mand and know in advance and in de- tail what has been and is being done and is intended for the future, were to com municate all the facts to the public when it could be done without prejudice
