ADRIFT WITH THE TIr1ES
DOCTORS ORDERS

Six months ago you told me you couldn't sleep at night for worrying about the money you owed me-
 "So I did," answered the impecunious debtor.
 But you still owe me and you are not a nervous wreck"
 True. You see, when I realized that it was impossible to pay you, l went to see a doctor about my insomnia. He ad- vised me to quit worrying and if there is anything I pride myself on it's fol- lowing the doctors orders implicitly"

PROFANITY OF HORACE GREELEY

Julius Chambers. in the Brooklyn Eagle
 Early in my reporter days on the New York Tribune was detailed on an elec- ton night to assist in tabulating elec- tor returns in a room adjoining Horace Greeley's "den'' Con the second floor of the ancient, drab-hued brick building). Raised as I had been in the west, with of my Maker. the shock to my nerves, when I heard him swear continuously for quarter hour, is indescribable. He was the most profane man, except John A. Cockrell, I ever encountered and I have been around somewhat.

Meanest Man Ever

T have a candidate for the posi- tion of 'meanest man in Jefferson county" said Murray Brown yester- day, as he was congratulating himself that he did not have to buy about two new tires for his automobile. While driving on the road to Taylor's Ferry found a board with nine sharp nails driven in it, each nail sharpened until the point was like that of a needle The points of the nails were turned up and the board was covered with dirt in the middle of the rut so that it could scarcely be detected. But there was no chance for a car to go down that road without ruining two tires.
 ''The utmost care had been exercised by the person who made the contriv- ance so that there could be no chance for car to pass without sufferting tire damages. It just happened that turned out of the road before the board was reached, thereby missing it. I can- not conceive how any person could re- sort to such despicable methods and there certainly could be no ground for such an action.'
 MT. Brown picked up the board and brought it back to the city with him. From time to time there have been complaints that practices of this kind were resorted to, frequently glass and tacks being put in the path of cars. But such a carefully planned piece of work as that discovered by MT. Brown has not before been found.
 Birmingham Decidedly Best City
 The Brandon brothers were here yes- terday-not all of them, of course-but two of the best known members of that family, pr. Frank W. Brandon of Anniston and Judge w. W. Brandon of Tuscaloosa. Incidentally, their meet ing occasioned some little discussion within the brotherly circle as to the relative merits of Anniston and Tus- caloosa. Flushed with pride over the triumphs attained by Tuscaloosa during the past week, Judge Brandon rather had the advantage of his brother, un- til the latter called attention to the fact that Anniston had real and reg ular munition plant making war sup plies for the allies. It was finally agreed among them that Birmingham | was the greatest city in the south, with Tuscaloosa and Anniston close competitors.
 "Anniston is progressing rapidly and | there are signs on>every hand of con . | tinued improvement in business and in- dustrial lines" said pr. Brandon. Tuscaloosa is under great oblga- | tions to the people of Alabama and | especially to the newspapers of this
 state and the entire south for the l splendid support they gave us in aid 1 of the centennial celebration" said | Judge Brandon. We are all especial | ly delighted and grateful for the val 1 uable assistance rendered by The Age Herald, newspaper which has always
 been exceptionally popular with the people of Tuscaloosa and west Ala | bama."

Farmers PLEASED
WITH SCHOOL idea
Demonstration Classes in
Sussex County Will Be
Full of Interest
Mr.. PELTON TO BE
THE DIRECTOR

GEORGETOWN, Del, Dec. 2l.-For
several years past a plan has been under
consideration to organize and conduct in
Delaware what are known in other
States as movable or extension schools
of agriculture. Since the primary pur-
pose of these schools is to demonstrate
facts of interest and value to farming
people, the first schools to be tried out
will be located in Sussex county, the
chief agricultural county of the State,
this winter.
At each of these schools, which will
continue for varying periods in different
localities, actual work will be done with
crops, animals. fertilizers. lime, etc. So
far as it can be done, every subject dis
cussed will be Illustrated by examples,
models and specimens and subjects THAI
cannot be so illustrated will not he en-
phasized. For example, instead Of mere
" discussing the value of COW testing, a
number of COWS in the locality will be
tested for butterfat. their feed estimated
cost Of keeping and value of product de-
termined and thus some idea of the
profit or loss from each COW found.
Instead Of merely talking about stock

and the Judging will be illustrated.
Farmers who have fields 10 drain will be
shown methods of laying out bitches
and tile drains, how to estimate the cost
If the work and how TO use homemade
instruments in getting the levels.
The poultry department promises such
demonstrations as Gambling grading and
packing Of market eggs. Preparations of
birds for market. including killing dry
cleaning and packing, will be shown,
while real birds will be used in the di-
agnosis of important poultry diseases.
Two Of these schools, the locations Of
which will be close together so that lee
turers from one can go to the other. will
last for the better part Of week to
try the plan thoroughly. 4 list OF sub
iects for demonstration schools will soon
be on hand, 90 that the farmers may
organize and study thu work in ad-
vance.
It is one Of the aims Of the project to
reach the communities in districts where

The Standard Remedy
In Countless Homes
Relieves Constipation Easily Without
Gripping or Discomfort.


Indigestion and constipation are two
conditions that are closely related and
the cause of much physical suffering.
The tendency to indulge ones appe-
tite is more or less general and most
people suffer at one time or another
from rebellion of the overtaxed organs
of digestion and elimination. A pleas
antly effective remedy, that will quick
ly relieve the congestion of poisonous
stomach waste and restore regularity,
is the compound of simple laxative
herbs sold in drug stores for fifty
cents bottle under the name of DR..
CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. This is a
mild, pleasant laxative tonic, free from
opiates or narcotic drugs, and has
been the standard household remedy
in thousands of homes for many years.
Mrs. Oliver Young, Merrill, Wis,

knows of nothing so effective for reg
ulating the stomach and bowels; since
taking DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
she feels ten years younger; her work
