God mixed in man the rapture and the

Ard scattered through his brain the
starry stuff,
He said: Behold! Yet this is not
enough.
For must test his spirit TO make sure
That he can dash the vision and en-
dure.
~ will withdraw my face,
Veil me in shadow for certain space
And leave behind only a broken clew,
A service where the glory gIimmers
through;
Some whisper fro mthe sky,
Some footprint in the road to track
me by.
d will leave him to make the fateful
guess,
Will leave him torn between the no

Leave him in tragic loneliness to

Drawn upward by the choice that

Leave him in tragic loneliness to

With all in life to win or all to lose.'

HOSPITAL BEDS
FOR TUBERCULOUS

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
In your report of the recommendations
made by Dr. Carroll Fox to the Jeffer-
son County Medical society last night,
there is an item which contains a serious
error. refer to the following sentence:
DIR. Fox also recommends the construc-
ton of hospital or sanatorium for
tubercular patients, with capacity of
not less than 30 beds" This is evidently
the result of some confusion in the mind
of the reporter, or possibly stenographic
error.
By personal conversation with DR.. Fox
l learned that his view Thoroughly coin
cides with that of this association, viz
That hospital for advanced tuberculosis
cases, with capacity of several hun
dred beds is essential
Taking the annual death rate of the
county by tuberculosis to average 5O0 five
times that number must be at any mo-
ment desperately i'll of the disease. This
would give us list of advanced cases
amounting to the astounding figure, $500,
needing hospital care, except in the few
instances were adequate segregation is
possible in the homes.
We will suppose however. that a very
large proportion could not be persuaded
10 go 10 OF stay III Inc HOSpitdl when
provided. We will also suppose that
three-fifths of the total given is the most
conservative possible estimate. 1t still
appears that any hospital provided for
advanced tuberculosis. adequate to the
needs of Jefferson county, cannot be less
than capacity Of 200 to 300 beds. l
have no doubt that from the list in our
possession already, very large portion
of this number could be selected who urg-
entity need hospital treatment. Yours re-
spectfully, GEORGE EAVES, Sec'y.

DESTROY
COUNTY DIPPING VAT
Third Attempt to Hinder the Enforce
ment of Compulsory Dipping
Laws of the County

According to information brought to
the sheriff's office by W. B. Copeland,
another dipping vat was dynamited
Tuesday night at Village Springs, five
miles north of Mount Pinson. This
makes three dipping watts that have
been dynamited since the passing of
the compulsory dipping laws in Jeffer-
son county, May 9.
According to government authorities
who are in charge of the work, they
have received the best of cooperation
from cattle owners. and especially from
those owning large numbers of cattle.
Very little dissention of any kind has
been noticed in the county, and tho
blowing up of the dipping watts have
come as a surprise. One of the watts
formerly blown up was located at
Mount Penson, while the other was at
Bradford.
While the sheriff's office is investi-
eating the dynamiting, no clue has
been found as to the identity of the
person or persons doing the damage.
1t is understood that the Chamber of
Commerce will ask the governor to offer
a reward for any person damaging or
destroying a dipping vat.
