pealing to the circuit court, the misde- mesnor cases now pending in the criminal court of Jefferson county cannot be transferred to the circuit court for the reason that as soon as they reach the circuit court the affidaYits and warrants will be void. This would affect some thing less than 1000 cases which are now pending on affidavits and warrants In the criminal court of Jefferson court In addition to the affidavit and warrant be- ing void in these cases of which hundreds are of violations of the prohibition law, if 12 months has expired since the com mission of the act which is charged then the statute of limitations has run and no other criminal proceeding can be brought against the defendant for that particular act.
 Tt is further pointed out that on capi- tai week the law provides that not less thar 50 nor more than 100 jurors be sum moned for jury duty. The experience of the past several years shows that on a summons of 100 never more than 70 and usually about 60 jurors appear who are qualified to serve. Here we would have a condition almost intolerable because of the fact that there would be eight di- visions of the court requiring iuries, and only sufficient jurors to make Up five jrries. Should two juries be out oon- sidering a case we would only have three. and five divisions of the court would have to remain idle.
 If the, legislature intended to consoli- date the criminal court of Jefferson they were evidently very poorly advised of conditions in this county and failed to grasp the fact that Jefferson county is very different in a great many respects from the rest of the state. The legis- lature also failed to take into considera- tion the law in reference to juries in capital cases, and also those sections of the constitution and our supreme court

MUSCLE SHOALS
 BOOSTER THANKED
 BY SHEFFIELDIANS
Noted Editors Efforts in Behalf of Nitrate Project Subject of Commercial
 Club Meeting

Sheffield, December .-(special)-The Sheffield Commercial club, at the instance of it's president. G. E. Roulhac, held a special called meeting this week, and, after transacting much important busi- ness, adopted resolutions extending thanks and appreciation to the Hon. Herbert My rick, president of the Orange-Judd pub licatlons. for the inspiring editorial in the issue of those publications on December ?, which was addressed to the people of Sheffield, Florence and the whole Ten nessee valley. MT. Myrick recently vis- ited here for the purpose of viewing Mus ele Shoals and was much impressed with its advantages over any other location for the government nitrate plant and since then he has written and published many articles advocating the Muscle Shoals site for the plant. In his publications of De- cember he urged the people of this sec ton to rise to the brilliant opportunity ahead and said further that the cooper ation of patriots throuhgout the country, regardless of vocation or location, had been won. He predicted that the s20, 0,00O- 900 government power and nitrate plant will be established at Muscle Shoals If the people of this section and others closely allied to it continue to do well their part. He suggested that one big community be established into the one great city of Muscle Shoals. MT. Myriclx concluded by saying that what he had personally seen and experienced while on his visit here had confirmed his belief and judgment that the people of the Tennessee valley and of contiguous states would rise to their present unparalleled opportunities.

Food For Children

The basis of child's diet should be
clean whole milk-at least a quart a
day. Such milk in addition to water
contains about half a cupful of the very
best food substances-butterf fat, milk
sugar, lime and other materials needed
by the child to make muscle, bones
and teeth. In addition, milk contains
substance thought to promote
growth by helping the body make
good use of other foods. Where good
whole milk is not obtainable, clean,
fresh skim milk supplies these sub
stances with the exception of the
butter fat. and is. of course, prefer
able to dirty or questionable whole
milk. Milk, however. contains very
little iron and therefore spinach and
other green vegetables and egg yolks,
which are rich in iron. combine well
with milk.
The child should drink the milk
with the chill taken off. or should con-
sumo his full quart day with cereals
ana in milk toast, cocoa, milk soups
and stews, in cereal puddings. egg-and-
milk buildings, custards, junkets or
simple ice creams. Milk stews may be
made with vegetables or fish. or to
vary the diet these things can be COM
bined with cream sauce and served
on milk toast The bulletin therefore,
gives large number of recipes for the
preparation of various milk dishes
which will help children consume the
requisite amount of milk without
growing tired of this valuable food.
Those for milk soups will be found par
ticularly useful, as they give the moth
or an easy means Of preparing many
vegetables which are essentials in the
child's diet.-Government Bulletin.

Good Trout Fishing Predicted.

The sportsmen of Colorado and ang-
lers coming here from other parts of
the country will find excellent trout
fishing this summer. The streams of
the state are full of native and brook
trout, according to w. B. Fraser, state
game and fish commissioner. and dur
ing the coming weeks more than g.
OOo. 900 additional fry from the Denver
hatchery alone, will be sent out to
all parts of the state.
There are IL hatcheries in operation
today in Colorado, where trout eggs
taken twice a year. in the fall and the
spring, are Matched out and the young
fry cared for until they can be placed
in the waters of the streams. The
hatcheries are run on a scientific basis
so that practically all of the eggs ma
ture and produce young fry to furnish
sport for the anglers.
The Denver hatchery. which is 10

trip 10 watch the development of the
egg into minnow and then a full siz-
ed beauty of the streams The first
development of the egg is tiny black
spot which is an eye. secand eye
appears, then a mouth and a tail. At
this point the tiny fish drops thru the
screen on which the eggs are placed
into the bottom of a trough. The egg
takes about 33 days to hatch and then
for another month the little minnow
cares for itself, absorbing the contents
of a feed sack which nature provides
for it. When the feed sack has been
absorbed the young trout rises to the
top of the water in search of food
and thereafter must be fed five times
daily. Boiled liver. which has been
ground and strained. is fed to the little
fry which are kept in the hatchery for
about six months as a rule. The older
trout, few of which are kept for dis
play purposes. are fed beef which has
been ground up to hamburger.
AS soon as the troughs at the Denver
udtchery drt etuptleu next week tney
must be dried out and re-painted in
readiness for the spring take of eggs
which will come in from the spawning
crews of the game and fish department
about the first of May. Additional
ponds are being built to increase the
capacity of the hatchery to 5000. 600
fry. Other improvements also will be
made by Commissioner Fraser, such as
crawling the walks, cementing the
edges of the ponds and improving the
picnic grounds which are put to con-
slant use during the summer months
Besides the success which he has
had In filling up the streams of the
state with fry, number of other i'm
provements have been worked in his
department by Commissioner Fraser
An unusual number of convictions have
been secured this year for violations
of the game laws OF the state. There
have been rs convictions in different
parts of the state for trapping beaver,
killing elk. deer and antelope. shoot
ing pheasants and quail, killing noun
tain sheep and hunting without Ii
