NECESSITY FOR AN INSTITUTION FOR
 FEEBLE-MINDED CHILDREN IN ALABAMA

mate. feeble-minded children. who will go on increasing their kind in geemetrical ratio, automatically increasing our so- cial burdens and problems.
 The humanitarian side of this question does not appeal to the average law maker.
 When we were in Montgomery during the sitting of the legislature one of the members of the house said 10 us: Yes. we wish we could give money for all these institutions, but tick eradication. the extermination of the boil weevil and hog cholera are of immediate and para mount importance" More than ever we saw the necessity for an institution for feeble-minded. It has ever been so that our lawmakers have sought to conserve our material resources. The child. the greatest asset of the nation, is neglected. and exploited. and it is no wonder that Alabama is at the bottom of everything
 But this question of the care of tlse feeble-minded can be very interestingly discussed with the dollar mark. The av- craze value to the community of an adult is s7o0 annually (Outlool). Of the 700o defectives in the state S0oo. at least. are adults, this means an annual loss to the state of at least 2.000, GOO. But this is not all: for every five defective persons in- capaciated for work four normal ones are also withdrawn from the field of produc- tivity as caretakers. This means at the very least an additional 50oo persons whose economic value is $500 900. making a total loss to the state of $5,50o0oo an- nually.
 If we had 1000 idiotic live stock in the state we would have an extra session of the legislature and float bonds if neces sary to get money to investigate the cause and provide a remedy.
 We await with interest the fate of the bill which will provide the means for removing le-mindedness the greatest of all blights. from the commonwealth of Alabama.

and blind. the normal and precocious, the wayward and delinquent. and those with out means and whose environment is poor. have provision made for them com mensurate with their need and capacity.
 The mental defective alone of all the classes has never had a penny from the state. Is it just? Is it fair to. continue to neglect them?
 There is bill pending in the legisla- ture calling for an appropriation with which to establish an institution for feeble-minded children. This bill is not receiving the favorable consideration that the prevalence of mental effectiveness warrants.
 Intense apathy prevails in the south as to the care of the feeble-minded because of our ignorance as to it's extent and menace.
 Feeble-mindedness. like insanity, is in- creasing at a greater ratio than is the population, in Alabama as it is in the entire United States.
 Insanity may be cured, but mental de- fectiveness cannot be, but is transmitted from sire to son with a prolixity and sureness that is appalling.
 Through segregation the morose. or highe CT type of defective. and by far the most dangerous to society. may become par tially self-sustaining and lifted out of the night of his helplessness, but more important than these may be prevented from becoming parents.
 It is estimated by Goddard and Fernald who have made an intensive study of the subject, that one for every 300 of the general population is defective. This means that in the United States there are Soo,ooO mental defectives.
 Alabama's proportionate share is 1000. Seven thousand dependent creatures who are the victims of neglect injustice. out rages, immortality and vice. These are, and will become the parents of fllegiti-

PEOPLE WHO
 LIVE IN TENNESSEE.
Farmer Thompson of Nash vile Says Some Things
 Worth Thinking About


 Old people of Tennessee and likewise those of other states are given word of very good advice by MT. c. w Thomp- son, prominent farmer, who lives out of Nashville, Station B, Route s.
 Anyone who is old" says MT. Thomp- son, ''run-down, ought to take Vitalitas. 1 fhave received a great benefit from it. My kidneys were giving me trouble for years; at times l suffered agones. It has checked my kidneys from flowing too freely. l do not get up in the nights as l did before I took Vitaltas. My heart would jump and skip with heavy, humping feeling. | have taken one bot tie and received great benefit from it.
 Not only for the aged is Vitalitas won derfully effective but for the young and middle aged as well. It is daily bring ing back health and strength to multi tudes of sufferers. Those who are af- flicted with chronic ills of stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and blood should lose no time in getting Vitalitas.
 See the display and sample Vitalitas at Averyts Drug Store. 109-111 20th st., or write there for information. Also for sale by Pegram-Patton Drug Co.,, Besse- mer, Ala.

the estimate, the fortune which he &C., cumulated is less perhaps by one-half than it was few years ago.
 No man knew better than MT. Ream how. on paper, his holdings in various large railroad and industrial corporations were shrinking in the sense that if he had sold these stocks and securities last summer he would have received for them a much smaller amount than he paid for them But MT. Ream paid little heed to the depreciation in the market quotations for securities so far as these effected the stocks which he held He was in this respect in the same state of mind which the late Commodore von Santvoord confessed himself to be in two or three years before his death in 1901. The com modore was one of the stockholders who Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail- road company, and he also served as di- rector He was told one morning when he entered the bank of which he was vice president that there had been a consid- erable falling off of the quotations for St. Paul stock, but he said In reply that this made difference to him since all the stock which he owned was in his safe deposit box, and there it would stay
 Mr Ream was in the last year of his life conspicuous in the financial district for his belief that we are passing through a period of temporary depression not to be long continued His view was similar to the one recently expressed by Charles d Schwab. who said for publication that the two or three years of depression in the
