BOOKS AND NATURE

By William Wordsworth The sun, above the mountains head. A freshening luster mellow Through all the long green fields has
 spread, < His first sweet evening yellow. Books! 'tis dull and endless strife; Come, hear the woodland linnet, How sweet his music! on my life.
 There's more of wisdom in it. And hark! how blithe the throstle sings! He too, is no mean preacher; Come forth into the light of things Let nature be your teacher. She has world of ready wealth,
 Our minds and hearts to bless, Spontaneous wisdom breathed by health. Truth breathed by cheerfulness.

Skating Contest

s'Not since the revival of dancing sev- eral years ago, has any fad taken such firm grip upon everybody in Birming- lham, young and old alike, as the skat- ling craze, which is now in full swing"
 said J. C. Cummings. This is attested by the merry crowds which flock to the big Hippodrome rink, both after
 noon and evening, to indulge in this
 wholesome pastime.
 Society has given its approval, which means that skating is the real thing. The exhilarating and pleasurable sen sation of gracefully swinging around the great rink to the melodiouS strains om Memolis band furnishes a diversion that is highly pleasing.
 "The possibilities of graceful and fancy skating were brought out strong lily at the charity ball. the crowning l feature of which was an exhibition on skates, participated in by the young society set It showed that there were some beautiful skaters in Birmingham. and suggested the idea of contest, which the Hippodrome management has
 arranged for Friday night. May D. Keen rivalry has already been aroused among the skaters of both sexes, and many of the young society folk have expressed their intention of entering lthe contest"

Proud of Birmingham

Leslie D. Fairchild, manager of the Exchange hotel in Montgomery, spent yesterday in Birmingham, having driven his automobile through over the Jackson highway in company with Mrs. Fairchild.
 For sometime MT. Fairchild was as- sistant manager of the Tutwiler, and he says he feels at home in Birming- ham.
 "One has to go away from Birming ham to appreciate the progress being made here,'' said MT. Fairchild. "The growth of Birmingham is something re- markable. Our people in Montgomery are proud of Birmingham, but it must be borne in mind that Montgomery is growing too.
 We are enjoying splendid busi- ness at our hotels. The tourists have learned that Montgomery, with its his toric interst, fine golf courses and good hotel facilities, is worth while. I notice that Birmingham is making united effort to secure stop-overs from tour ists, and I am certain she can succeed. These tourists not only spend much money but they advertise city and frequently their visit will result in in vestments in an industrial way"

Bodily Housekeeping
CBy Samuel Hamilton. NJ. ID

The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation by
means of X-rays the observations of
scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water taken during di-
gestion is necessary in good bodily
housekeeping. To drink a pint of hot
water before meals is good practice,
and those suffering from a catarrhal
condition of the stomach will find
benefit in adding about ten grains
(one-sixth of a level teaspoonfuD of
baking-soda, drinking it an hour be-
fore each meal. Those who are in
clined to hyper-ac idity should drink
slowly pint of medium cold water,
two hours after meals.

The Austrians and Germans in Ga- Hcia are still falling back before the advance of the Russians, who, accord ing to PetrOgrad, have made additional gains along the Sereth and ZOlota Lii pa rivers and have captured the strongly fortified town of TustObaby, . northwest of the Dniester. On the up- , per Sereth, however, the TeutoniC al- lies at some points of their newly , chosen line are holding back the Rus sians with a vigorous artillery fire. Berlin says that south of BrOdy. on the Lub and Graberka sector, Russian attacks were put down with heavy losses and that Russians who had pen etrated Teutonic positions on the Zborroff- -Konjucay line, northeast of Tarnopol, later were driven out and 800 of them made prisoners. Accord ing to Vienna Russian attacks south west of Pokanian near Brody, ended with the field before the AUstro- Ger man positions covered with Russian dead.

exclusively to artillery duels. Accord ing to Berlin the British have been extracted from their trenches over 300 yards over the Thiepval sector which they occupied Sunday. On the IsOnOz front, according to Rome the Italians made still further advances against the Austrians along the CarsO plateau and east of Hill PIP. in the latter sec tor another line of trenches having been penetrated and more men made prisoners. In the Gorizia sector Rome says the Austrian guns are being hastily employed against the Italians. Here, according to Vienna, seven charges by the Italians were put down by the Austrians.
 Petrograd reports a continuation of the Turkish offensive on the Persian frontier, but asserts that a retreat of Turks has been forced on the south west bank of Lake Van, Turkish Ar menia, through the fire of the Russian 1otilla on the lake. The Russian war office says the Russians in Persia con- tinue to be driven back by the Otto man forces and that in Armenia north of Bitlis the Turks have made a fur theF advance.

BRANDEEs NOT TO SERVE ON MEXICAN COMM SSION
Informed President Wilson Mass of
 Court Business is Too Great.

Washington, Aug. IA. - Associate Justice Louis D. Brandeis of the su- preme court, informed President Will son tonight that because of the mass of business before the court he would
 be unable to accept the presidents s designation to serve on the joint con- mission which will attempt to solve the difficulties between the United States and Mexico.
 Justice Brandeis conferred with the president and Attorney General Greg ory late in the day and the question of the justices accepting was gone over thoroughly. Later the following letter from Justice Brandeis to the president was made public at the White House:
 My dear MT. President:- appre- ciate the opportunity for high service
 which membership on the Mexican commission wolud present But upon consultation with the chief justice 1 find that the state of the business of the court at the present time to be such that it is my duty not to under
 take this important constructive task"
 The given out of Justice Brandeis' letter was the first formal announce ment that he had been offered the post, although it has been known de- finitely that he and Secretary Lane were two of the three men selected by the president for membership on the commission. The name of the third man has not been made public.
 The general understanding had been that both Justice Braudeis and Sec retary Lane had accepted places on the commission and there have been intimatiOns that the justices decision to withdraw was reached after Chief Justice White had interposed objec- tions. Taare was no official cOnfirma- ton of that, however. as all officials concerned have refused to discuss the subject.
