How Catarrh is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which their
children contract. The inflammation
of the mucIs membranes, at first
acute, becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, a disease that is
seldom cured and that may prove a
life's burden. Many persons who have
this loathsome disease will remember
having had frequent colds at the time
it was contracted. A little fore
thought, little bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy judiciously used,
and all this trouble might have been
avoided. Obtainable at PAUL Drug.

Death Claims Mrs. e. nj.
Shelley.

The entire community was
shocked Tuesday afternoon when
the death of Mrs. E. M. Shelley
was announced. She had taken
suddenly I'LL in the early part of
the day with puerperal convul-
sions, and only a few of the peo-
pie of the town had learned of
her serious condition until her
de ath was announced. Dr.. Gar
rett hadibeen called to her bed
side early in the morning and
later Or. Croch, of Forbus, and
DR.. Sloan, of Albany, KY, were
called. An Obstetrical opera
ton was performed, but to no
avail, and about $40 O'Clock the
end came.
The remains were taken to Al
bany, KY, yesterday for burial,
that being the girlhood home of
Mrs. Shelley.
The deceased came here in
1909 with her husband, Capt. E.
M. Shelley, who is cashier of
The Bank of Jamestown. and
since that time she has been a
leader in church and Sunday
School work, and has endeared
herself to the people of the town
as few women ever did. She
was Christian in the true sense
of the word. She was loved by
all who knew her because of her
sweet disposition and the noble
life she lived.
She is survived by her hus-
band and seven children, name
ly, Eugenia, Porter, Margaret,
Doris, Philip. Ralph and the in
FAINT son born on the day of her
death. Also by her father, B.
P. Harrison, who has been maxi
ing his home at Mr.. Shelley's a
good portion of the time for sew
eral years, and one brother, G.
E. Harrison of this place, and a
a sister, Mrs. Perkins, of AL
bany, Ky.
The family have the sympathy
of the entire community in this
sad hour. = Jametown, Tenn,

Talks of Gond ,rimes

My business has grown so rapidly lately that I have been forced to put in another branch taxicab office at the Terminal station," said Henry Jenkins. This addition to my business naturally cost a great deal of money, but I am sure the investment is worth the amount of cash involved. The times are so much better in Birmingham at present that it is necessary for nearly every business to spread out so as to be able to take care of the added volume of trade.
 Every business man in this city seems to be optimistic over the future and in dicaticns are that an unprecedented era of prosperity is in store for us of this section. One seldom hears the grumbler or persistent pessimist now; instead, a smile of satisfaction is on the coun- tenance of nearly every one as he goes about his business with the knowledge of good times that have come to stay"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-02-24
Build Auditorium This Tear

If public sentiment in favor of the city building a s2OO,OOO auditorium was strong enough three years ago to cause bond issue proposition to carry by an overwhelming majority, it is certainly strong enough today to as- sure large majority vote, for the need for such building is more in sistent than ever.
 Arrangements had been made for the sale of the proposed auditorium bonds at good price, but when the legality of the issue was questioned the enterprise had to be abandoned un- til legislation could be invoked.
 Now that the amended charter au- thorizes the building of an auditorium by bond issue it is for Birmingham to proceed. As the commission was engrossed in retrenchment work throughout the greater part of 1915, the public did not expect action on the auditorium project then, but there is no reason whatever why a bond propo- sition should not be submitted now. Birmingham can as well afford to build an auditoriu mthis year as it could next year or the year after next.
 The city may be in financial straits for sometime to come, but it can find a way to pay interest on auditorium bonds. Rigid economy in city admin istration is demanded but in view of the pressing need of a large, modern building to accommodate great con- ventions, it would be false economy to postpone action until the city was in better financial condition. Next in inn portance to the maintenance of the public schools, the public libraries and the health department is the need of an auditorium.
 The city commission should without further delay order bond election. The Chamber of Commerce, with the active cooperation of all the musical and social clubs, would set in motion campaign that would bring out a  full vote and sweeping majority for the auditorium. Ground should be broken not later than May.
