NO FLAT-FOoTED ARMY

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 The flat-footed patriot is having a hard time of it at Uncle Sams recruiting sta. tions. And, as the New York Globe points out, he is making the work of the recruit ing officers, anxious in the interest of a big army. "a difficult task
 Flat-footedness is not all, but the per- centage of those having weak hearts is surprisingly large. The New York Globe says:
 ''The flat-footedness is due in a large respect to the carelessness of most men in selecting proper shoes. The poor heart showing is due in a large measure, the recruiting officers say, to the increased number of cigarette smokers. If only flat-footedness and weak hearts could be eliminated there would be no diff culty in getting all the men necessary.
 "As an instance of the severity of the physical examination, the report of Capt. Frank E. Evans, recruiting officer for the marine corps, may be cited. Captain Evans has six recruiting stations-five in New York and one in Newark. Dur
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-30

ing the first Il days of May there were 149 applications for enlistment, and of this number there was not a single man who qualified. The majority of these men were rejected for poor hearts. Among the others were many suffering from flat-footedness."
 The same trouble was experienced at Canadian recruiting stations at the begin ming of the European war. It was stated at that time that whole regiments of flat-footed men were ready to serve their country, but they merely kept those in authority busy rejecting them.
 It has been noted that the business men who have put in service at the military training camps here made a fine showing as to physical fitness, due, perhaps, to their regular system of exercise. The weak heart feature was not greatly in evidence in that class, and there were few flat-footed patriots. among them.

THE DOG-POIsoNER

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
 There are good many kinds of mean man. But to us about the meanest man is one who will poison a dog. He either violates the law of hospitality and good faith that obtains between man and beast by offering dog poisoned food or he plays the despicable sneak by scat tering poison near dogs home.
 In the cold estimate of the law the dog posoner merely destroys another's S property. But there is a sentimental jury in the case of every dog poisoning that gives no such material verdict. To the children of a family to whom a dog has endeared itself, even to the grown ups who have retained their love for dogs, the man who would poison an in- offensive canine is kind of murderer He takes life that comes pretty near having a soul. He deprives his neigh bors of a faithful and appreciative com panion.
 In fact, dog poisoning suggests com parison. Which is the better-the animal that protects the home and loves his master and all that is his masters, or the man who, directly or indirectly, from one motive another, kills that animal?

THE HOLY CITY IN THE WAR
From the New York World.

' IoiIl the NcW IOTk WOIlu.
 Though only fortnight old. the revolt of the Arabs against Ottoman rule has attained seriousness which may well cause concern in Constantnople. Having taken Jiddah and Mecca, the rebels are now investing Medina, next to the Holy City itself, the great object of Mussul- man veneration. Is no corner of the earth to escape the effects of the war? In time. perhaps. the Dalai Lama will be drawn into the fray.
 The sentimental and political signif1- canoe of the rebels success must be ob- vious With the sacred city of Islam in prophet soon to be, if Medina falls, they will have control of the strongholds of Moslem faith. They are led by the gov- ernor of Mecca, the grand shereef, with all the prestige which that leadership implies. and it is not too much to sup- pose that the movement under these au- spices will make a potent appeal to the faithful who have seen their rulers em- broiled in an infidel war.
 Is a new Ca'iph, a later-day successor of the Prophet. to come out of Arabia ? The possibilities of personal ambition in the circumstances are such as to give a romantic suggestion to the revolt. There is no reason to think the Arabs have lost their old attributes as warriors. There is no reason to suppose that successful

WHERE WAR PROFITS GO
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Tourists returning from the west in- variabIy bring back the news that the west is far less interested in the great war than is the east. A powerful reason for this is reflected in railroad earnings. Official figures compiled by the interstate commerce commission show that in 10 months of the current fiscal year the net income per mile of railroads increased from S26O0 to $3703. That is the average for all railroads in the United States. But railroads in the east and south have had very much better year than the railroads in the west. In the last-named section the gain in income this year was 2S per cent, but southern companies gained 50 per cent and eastern conn panies 57 per cent. Those figures prove unmistakably that the east and south have reaped a much greater harvest from the war than has been reaped by the west, since the business of railroads is true guide to general business con ditions. Hence it is not unnatural that the west is less excited by the war Its pocket has been affected to a much smaller degree.

Want Red Cros. Course

T notice that there is a class of young society women in training for Red Cross nurses to go to the front in case of war;" said Miss Edwina Wood stenographer in Judge Abernethy's division of the mu- nicipal court. T think it is a grand movement and every girl in Birmingham who can should take advantage of it and get a training that will fit her to serve her country.
 ''The only objection I have to make Is that there is no class arranged for the working girl can attend. I have talked meets at g o'clock, and at that hour no working girl can atatend. I have talked to a number of girls and find that many of them are not only willing to attend class, but are anxious to get the train- Ing and would not hesitate to go to the front in the event they are needed I for one am very anxious about the matter and would take up the work at once if some plan could be arranged to suit the hours of the working girls. I hope there will be a chance for us to get in on it vet"

Alabama Coal on the Gulf

Quite a number of vessels of the Uni ted States navy are now being coaled on the gulf with coal from the Birmingham district" said Morris W. Bush yesterday
 Our company has recently supplied several vessels, including the gunboat Nashville, with coal and several other local companies have figured in this bus iress principal among them being the Tennessee company and the DeBardeleben Coal company.
 "The presence of so many ships of the government in gulf and south Atlantic waters now will probably result in con- siderable impetus in our coal trade, as the greater part of the fuel will doubt less come from this district It is very fortunate that we were able to secure from the navy department this recogni- ton of our product several months ago, as it will mean much to us in case the Mexican situation keeps a large part of our navy in southern waters for some months"

THE ANTIQUITY OF FREEDom

By William Cullen Bryant. O freedom! thou art not as poets dream, fair young girl, with light and delicate
 limbs And wavy tresses gushing from the cap With which the Roman master crowned
 his slave When he took off the gyves. A bearded
 man, Armed to the teeth, art thou; one mailed
 hand Grasps the broad shield, and one the
 sword; thy brow. Glorious in beauty though 1t be, Ia
 scared With token of old wars: thy massive
 limbs Are strong with struggling. Power at
 thee has launched His bolts and with his lightnings smit-
 ten thee; They could not quench the life thou hast
 from heaven; Merciless power has dug thy dungeon
 deep, And his swart armorers, by a thousand
 fires. Have forged thy chain; yet. while he
 deems thee bound, The links are shivered, and the prison
 walls atss Fall outward; terribly thou springest
 forth, AS springs the flames above burning
 pile, And shoutest to the nations. who re-
 turn Thy shoutings. while the pale oppressor flies. Thy birthright was not given by human
 hands,; 6 Thou were twin-born with man. In pleas

MCULLOUGH'S LAST APPEARANCE

From My Remembrances," by E. IT.
 Sothern, In the July Scribner
 He went through the scene in 'The Gladiator" then he went to the last scene in "Virginius," where virginius raves after he has killed, his daughter Then to Othello's farewell speech, one he had often told me that his great master, Edwin Forrest. had only read to his own satisfaction once in his life: 70, now forever
 Farewell the tranquil mind; farewell Farewell the plumed troop and the big That make ambition virtue o farewell! Farewell the neighing steed and the
 shrill trump,
 The spirit stirring drum, the ear pierc-
 ing fife,
 The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glo-
 rious war!
 And, o, you mortal engines, whose rude
 threats
 The immortal Jove's dread clamors coun-

 Farewell! Othellos occupation's gone'
 It was pitiful in the extreme to hear Mccullough read this at any time, and trebly SO now. He wandered through others of his various characters, the peo- pie about him weeping and seeking to hide their grief. At length he drifted into the part of Cardinal Richelieu. He played the scene in the garden where Baradas, the creature of the King. comes to take Richelieu's word away from him. ha1 ro1ya fhA Gf protection to Julie. and now Richelieu says to Joseph, who holds him up on one side while his ward assists him on the other: Well, we'll we will go home!' Here he walks feebly up the stage. Ba- radas. seeing how broken he is. says, aside, to De Beringhen: His mind and life are breaking fast. Richelieu over hears him, turns with his old fury, and cries: 'Irreverent Ribaldl If so be- ware the falling ruin! I tell thee scorner of these whitening hairs, when this snow melteth there shall come flood. Avaunt My name is Richelieu! defy thee! Walk blindfold on-behind thee stalks the headsman-aha. How pale he gleres-- God save my country." And he falls fainting as the act ends. Poor McCul- tough went up the stage at Well, well, we will go home." Baradas said his line, the tears streaming down his face: His mind and life are breaking fast Mo- Cullough threw Joseph and Julie off as he turned on Baradas and began, 'Irre- weren't Ribald! If so, beware the fall ing ruin." and stopped dazed He looked at the weeping Baradas, at Julie sobbing, at the rest of the company standing about overcome with grief and terror, and collapsed utterly.

ARe-Herald in Demand

''The Age-Herald is in great demand at the concentration camp at Montgom- cry" said Sergt. c. H. Mandy, who is in Birmingham recruiting men for the hos- pital corps
 The frst day or two we were in camp copies of The Age-Herald received, as many of the men did not order their pa pers until they reached Montgomery. My copy of the paper was literally worn out every day before the men, who wanted it had finished reading it.

HOW BR'ER RABBIT HELPS

From the Atlanta COnSIlIutlOn.
 Threatened with a shortage of meat, there are sections of Europe where Br' 'er Rabbit is expected to come to the res cue. There is an abundant rabbit crop" says an English correspondent "and it will be well taken care of. In this respect the outlook for a pretty fair meat supply is promising"
 Another phase of Brer Rabbit coming to the rescue is in the recent recommen- dation of pr. c. w. Stiles of a rabbit diet for persons afflicted with pellagra.
 It was expected that the friends of Br'er Rabbit would have something to say about 1t, hence the following gentle protest from the Indianapolis News:
 Friend after friend departs. Who has not lost a friend?" And now we shall next be called upon to mourn friend and favorise introduced to us years ago by Joel Chandler Harris and made dear to us by his many smooth exploits. This alluson, of course, can apply to none other than Br'er Rabbit, whom Dr. c. w. Stiles. physician of the south, brings forward as stay to the plague of pella- gra, a disease largely prevalent in dis 
 tricts in the south where there is mo- notony of diet. pr. Stiles advocates the addition of Br'er Rabbit to the bill of fare in such districts. suggestion that can but bring to Brer Rabbits friends, old as well as young. creepy reeling akin to a suggestion of cannibalism. The doctor argues that rabbits are easily taken care of, are readily procurable, and their meat is quite acceptable. It is added that there is no reason why his suggestion should not be adopted, but the other side, Br CT Rabbits friends. has not as yet been heard from"
 However, pellagra is not so prevalent as to make great havoc in Br'er Rabbits kingdom, and even so, we learn from lit- erature that he has been known to do many a good turn to the other cree turs!

 VA T THIN a year two of the most
 wv popular writers for boys of an
 " earlier generation have died. It was in August. 1915, that Charles A. Fos- dicks death occurred last Wednesday Edward s. Ellis Joined the Great Ma jority.
 Probably the name and works of neither are very familiar to the present juvenile reading public.' Fosdicks 8 books have disappeared from the shelves of the Pratt library; his nom de plume of Harry Castlemon no longer embellshes it's catalogues. The Ellis volumes still survive, reminders of school of liter ature that is past.
 Both Castlemon and Ellis were ex- tremey fecund. They produced an ex- -traordinary number of volumes; their in- vention was fertile as their pens were facile. Their stories contain a wealth of incident and accident, with everything usually coming out all right in the third volume of the series after most re- markable maze of complications. These authors did more, however, than tell stir ring tales; they created real flesh and blood characters, who became the friends

FILTRATION

From the New York Telegram
 If all the urban population of the United States were supplied with filtered water, or water of equal purity, the urban typhoid fever death rate would be II per 100000 states George A. Johnson, consulting engineer, of New York city. A reduction of 67 per cent in the ty- phoid rate immediately following kiltration has been amply demonstrated.
