DANGER FROM COMMON COLD
Harvard Professor Asssrts It 10 Highly infsetious, and Uross kssd
 Of Precautions.

A Harvard professor has arraigned the common cold in severe terms it Is infectious and people are asked to take precautions against its spread. While persons suffering from ordi- nary colds cannot, of course. be iso- lated, they should take measures which will not make them common carriers of the disease. What the pa tient should do, in his. own interest, as we'll as that of others, is to stay at home for . day or two-preferably in bed. Better than all medicines Is the rest cure" It prevents the dis ease from dragging along and turn ing into malignant forms. At the season of the year when colds are so easily contracted the following con- else advice is given by the Harvard authority to those who would remain we'll: "Keep out of the way of sneez- ers and coughers; don't handle them or let them handle you, for . shake of the hand. from one who recently coughed or sneered into his hand, may infect you"

LESS CRUDE RUBBER THIS YEAR

Careful estimate of the quantity of sap collected so far from the rub Der trees in South America, Africa and the East Indian plantations shows that there will be less crude rubber in 1915 than there was in 1914. The shortage may prove very serious at the beginning of next year, as the indications point to still smaller quantities in l916. The crude rubber crop of 1914 amounted to 7l,s.. tons of plantation; g. ,0oo tons of Brazil and l2.000 tons of miscellaneous caoutchouc-a total of l20.9,, tons. representing an ln- crease of ll,5 per cent over the 1913 crop. The figures for 1915 are given as Approximately S5.0o0 planta- tion, 30,00O Brazil and 5000 miscel- laneous rubber. total of l?0.000 tons. or decrease of almost l per cent.-Scientific American.

The Old Home Town

Do you remember the lazy fellow who used to sit around in implement store and the barber shops in the old home town and the common herd? Up in the village of Salem they used to crack lots of jokes at the expense of a lank and ungainly young fellow who clerked in the village grocery, poled flat boats on the river and split rails for a living, They called him Abe in those days. He became the president of the United States and thou. sands from far places on the earth have visited his tomb al Springfield to do him honor. They used to make fun of Bill McAdoo back in the home town. Of course you've heard of Bill. He dug a tunnel under the Hud. son river and is secretary of the treasury now. But there are g lot of old tads back in the olG home town who sort of hope that Bill will fall over some
 thing yet and land in the con. summe. And Orville Wright was a regular joke in his old home town. It is the old home town itself that is the joke.

Next was the Grand River Raid. General Cabell, or "Old Tige" as we called him, learning that there was a local train of commissaries coming from Missouri to Ft. Gibson, with his divison of cavalry, went out northwest of Fayetteville on Grand River in the Cherokee nation with the intention of capturing the train. but never got it. Supposed it did not come as soon as expected. We were out there seven days wait ing for it; had no bread, but the fattest beef and mutton 1 ever saw which we ate without salt, and we were very hungry for bread and on our return we were searching thru the country for it, so in the evening near time there was an officer placed at the fork of the road to tell us stragglers which road to go, as part of the command was going to camp on one road and part on the other, so l came along and he said, Who do you belong to-" and 1 said, 'I don't belong to anybody. sir. l am in Col.

Keep your eye on your wife.
 Not to keep some other man from stealing her-for wives worth having are not stealable.
 But keep her contented, for that will help you to keep cheerful
 And to keep her cheerful for that will keep her pretty. To keep her pretty is to help your self keep your eyes off other women, very necessary thing for a married man if he would be happy. Keep in mind the girl you led to the altar-for your wife is that girl; just as good, just as lovable, just as sincere. just as honest. Keep in mind also that you were ready to do almost anything to get her-and so you are re- minded that it's up to you to make some little sacrifice in order to keep her. Just keep your eye on your wife and dc your share toward making a suc- cess of your greatest business and undertaking the business of being happy married man.

 Her brother had been sent to the field to log off some potato ridges and she was told to lead the mule while her brother car ried some tools along. The mule was very gentle and the little girl jumped up on it to ride it to the field as the children were ac- customed to do. As they went along, the mule picked grass and seemed as gentle as usual, but it suddenly jumped throwing Bessie off. Her foot became entangled in the chains of of the harness and the mule dragged her through barbed wire fence, cutting her so badly that she lived only from about HOO a. m. . when the accident happened, to 400 D. m.
 The family have the sympathy of the entire community

War Story.

small battle near Cain Hill, Ark.
 where we had some small artill-
 cry, so when ready for engage
 ment our cOmmissary and bag
 gage train was started south
 as we most always went south
 after battles. I was placed at rear of train with three other men, with orders to stop every
 man that came along running. off
 from the fight, SO it wasn't long until the battle began. We could hear volleys of small arms and cannons laundering. l thought the poor boys would all be killed, but there was but little damage done. so l began raising my company of men running off from the fight.
 They would give all kinds of excuses, why should let them pass. l told them l could not, that l had orders to stop every man that came along, and put him in my company, which am sure was the biggest set of towards that was ever together at one time. l had, in three hours after the battle began,
 about 75 of these towards. After the battle had been going on for few hours Dick Berry.
 who was we'll known thru all of Franklin and Madison counties, came to my company and insist ed on them to go back with him to the fight, and one man out of the seventy-fve went. and he was one of the three men that was given me to stop these cow ards. Shortly after this came the Pea Ridge battle and our division was placed on the left to keep the enemy from passing ns. 80 we got in quite a little battle. The enemy being infan- try or dismounted cavalry. had located themselves on the bench of the mountain. the bench being in half moon shape; so our divis- ion, command by General Cabell.
 formed on the flat above and south of them. Our company
 was placed on the same bench
 the enemy was on, but south of the west end of their line to keep them from flanking our division. Now the charge was ordered and our company on the bench below the main force was discovered and some of us hay ing the blue uniform on had a few shots fired at us by our own men by mistake. Our captain hOllOwed for some one to run up the hill and tell them to stop -iring down there. that they were firing on their own men.
 Every one seemed slow to go, so made a rush up the hill shout ing. Stop firing down here.
 you are firing on your own men. " and as the captain did not fully explain did not understand. so 1 ran clear across the flat on which our division had made the charge. and at the end of my trip l ran into the head of a ravine and 30 or 75 yards to my left the thing was full of blue coats. They began shooting at me and me alone. and not feel ing able to fight that crowd alone 1 whirled south. lodging behind as many trees as l could to keep the bullets from hitting me in the back. You can call that cOwardice or good judgment felt it the safe thing to do. In my imagination l can hear those bullets whizzing and frying by my head now.

Tourist Travel to the South

Long before. Florida had become known as a winter resort state New Orleans and Mobile attracted the more refined class of pleasure seekers from the north and those two historic cities will always be the chief cities of gay ety in the carnival season.
 But with the increase in the number of tourist hotels in Florida and other southern states the pleasure seeking travel has expanded steadily and is now very important factor in rail road passenger earnings. Yet this tourist business is only now getting a good start.
 Within the next few years winter tourists will overflow Florida, Louis jana, Alabama, Georgia. South Caro- lima, Mississippi and Texas. The building of good roads in the south accounts in large measure for the recent growth of the tourist travel And with the completion of the Jack son highway there will be such rush

AIS Fair

"All6 fair in love and war;" ac- cording to the old-time lover, and the modern youth still adheres to the same opinion. Also, girls should bear in mind that there are stars and stars, and some are not just what they seem.
 The Kansas City police few days ago raided gambling joint. A youth arrested by them was found to be wearing tin star bearing the in- scription Special Police."
 The young fellow, who gave his name as Davis, explained that he was much interested in a pretty girl who inclined to favor his rival. Finding he was making no progress in the siege he was laying to her affections he de- termined to employ strategy.
 Accordingly, he procured the star, exhibited it to her and modestly ad- mitted he held an important police commission. He even hinted dire con- sequences to his rival. Just how the strange courtship would have termi- mated may never be known, owing to the gambling charge which young Davis now faces.
 | It is evident, however, that real "cave-man' method of courtship has been interrupted, which might have settled forever the question raised by present-day writers as to whether this same "cave-man" method of wooine woman finds favor with the, girls oi today.
 'Twould have saved the public much weary discussion-but the writers o1 fiction would have been forced to seek another topic for the foundation ol their plots.

An Actors Impressions

"Birminghams growth has been phe- nomenal, and it is destined to be the greatest city in all the south" said Leo pold Lane, a greatly esteemed actor of the legitimate school, who is among the recent arrivals as member of the Grayce Scott Stark company now playing at the Biiou.
 q had been here often; was here with Joe Jefferson and other famous actors when the O'Brien opera house was the principal theatre. My last appearance was at the Jefferson theatre with Viola Allen. about eight or nine years ago.
 AS I remember, Birmingham in the early years was crude looking town of something like 25,000 population. Even when Twas last here it was just begin ming to take on the appearance of city.
 1T find it today with population of close to 100000, with handsomely built up business district and with the most beautiful residence sections to see in any other southern city,. The fact is that the landscape effects here in Birming ham are unsurpassed by any other Amer icar city. There is a charm about Bir- mirgham that should quickly impress the stranger. Atlanta is a much talked of city. and in some respects it is a remark able city, but in the qualities and features that make city attractive, Birmingham far outclasses it.

New Southern Industry

The demand abroad for American cheese has, according to the United States department of agriculture, started brand new industry for ex- port business and one that will prove highly profitable.
 The departments bulletin on this l subject, printed in Wednesdays Age Herald, was of exceptional interest to Alabama. It sets forth the fact that this state is admirably well suited for the development of this industry. A cheese factory is in successful opera ton in North Carolina, and c. F. Doane, expert of the agricultural de- pertinent, thinks that many cheese factories will shortly be established in the mountainous counties of Ala bama, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Arkansas.
 The first of the southern cheese plants, that at Sugar Grove, N. C., turns out product that commands 3 cents a pound more than the best Pennsylvania cheese. Careful tests disclose the fact that in that plant the butter fat averaged AZ per cent, while in the modern cheese making districts it rarely exceeded 3.3 per cent.
 MT. Doane is not only one of the departments best known experts but he is an enthusiast as we'll. He thinks Alabama ideal for the cheese indus try. He will cooperate actively in the experiment and pioneer work in this state, which will be transferred from the United States department to the Alabama department of agriculture.
 MT. Doane is of the opinion that the south will not only soon be supplying the southern trade with cheese but will be shipping extensively to the northern markets.
 The cheese industry in the United States is greatly stimulated by the exports to Europe. The total exports of cheese during the twelve months ending June, 1914, aggregated only 2,427,577 pounds, worth $414,127. In the twelve months ending in May, 1915, total of 54,069,017 pounds were exported, worth $S,147,174.
 Such an industry as this will, after it gets a fair start in north Alabama counties, be another big asset in cror diversification, and will add largely to the wealth of the state.
