Bad ventilation is habit which is probably commoner in country districts than in the con- gested wards of cities" says Dr. Richard c. Cabot in a recent is. sue of the American Magazine. In other words, he argues that the people in the city slums ire quently get better air at night than the people who live in Gods out-of-doors and have fresh, pure. health-giving breezes blowing on every shut window. And we are afraid that Dr. Cabot is right. Your grandfather who lived in a log cabin where the wind whistled through the cracks and the snow beat under the clapboards on the roof may not have needed to sleep with the windows up, but in this day of tightly constructed houses, we must let the air in. When near ly every doctor in the land says, Sleep with your windows up,' why should we refuse to try it this winter?-The Progressive Farmer.

The fraternal orders are a nat ional blessing. They promote thrift, economy, sobriety, with out freezing the soul into selfish ness, as is apt to be the case in the usual struggle for wealth or a high social position. They bring men into closer relations, and cherish those feelings that thrive and put forth blossoms in each others welfare.

SHILOH MONUMENT
TO Be CONCLUDED
Daughters of Confederacy
Ask for Contributions to
Help Make Payment

When the Shiloh monument Is unveiled
In October at the National park, which
is near the Mississippi line in Tennes-
see. one of the dearest wishes Of the
women who compose the United Daugh-
ters - -he Confederacy will be realized.
This monument will be erected at cost
of $4,000 and will stand in memory OF
the men who fell while serving the cause
of the Confederacy on the Shiloh battle
field.
The Shiloh monument has been a dream
of the Daughters of the Confederacy for
many years, and it was through the
determination, self-sacrifice and sturdi-
ness of purpose of southern womanhood,
and especially Mrs. Alexander B. White
of Paris, that they have raised all IF
the $4,000 except a few thousand dol
lars. Only two more payments are due
on the splendid monument, $4,000 of
which will be paid this month and $12, OOO
when the monument Is erected
1t is said that the Shiloh monument is
the first in the national park. 1T is of
Mount Airy granite from the celebrated
quarries in North Carolina. 1t is IS feet
across the front, and the highest point
of the central figures is 1917 feet All
the figures are of heroic sic, nine feet
cnd IN bronze. In the central group the
title is: Victory Defeated by Death"
Death and night are shown snatching
away the wreath from the confederacy.
Frederick c. Hibane is the sculptor who
designed the monument.
While most of the money to pay fdr
this monument has been raised, the
United Daughters Of tho Confederacy
have hard task to raise the remainder
of the $4,000. They have asked the
aid Of all southern peopiS to help honor
the dead heroes of the sixties. The monu-
ment is held up as one of the most noble
causes to which southern people could
contribute. When finished and erected it
will not only stand as monument to
the Confederate dead. but to the SPLEEN
did spirit of self-sacrificing southern
Womanhood and manhood.
An appeal has been made through the
various daughters organizations of Ala
bama for subscriptions to this cause and
they will receive any donations at head
quarters.

ly Inspected Organization
and Sent Recommends
tons to Washington

Capt. c. S. Blakely. Sixth Field artil-
lery, U. s. A., and Capt. S. L. Dorrance,
Battery A. ranking officer of the Ala
bama Field artillery. were busily engaged

ly organized Battery B, Alabama Field
artillery
A total of 142 men have enlisted for

will be administered the federal oath
for service.
The addition of Battery B to the Ala
bama National Guard will enable this
state to send a battalion, consisting of
three companies Of field artillery to the
border. 1t is necessary to have not less
then three companies to make a bat
talon.
Capt. Ed L. Anderson. former captain
of Battery A. has been enlisting men for
the new company for the past month
The personnel of Battery B is largely
composed of men from Montgomery, Biz

PLANS TO RELIEVE
SERIOUS SHORTAGE
OF CARS OUTLINED
Local Railroad Men and
Shippers Receive State
ment From Interstate
Commerce Commission

The shortage Of cars. which is said to be
seriously hampering practically every line
of business, and which is growing in
seriousness. is explained In part by the
heavy movements of grain at this sea-
son of the year. Local railroad men
and shippers are in receipt of a COM
mun1cation issued by the interstate COM
merce commission dealing with the short
age and outlining means by which the
trouble in part, at least, can be allie
waited.
In this bulletin received in Birming-
ham yesterday from the secretary of the
commission. it is urged that shippers
Cooperate in the matter of prompt load
ing and unloading of cars and it is also
urged that cars for shipment be filed
to capacity. The railroads are told to
do their part by moving cars from ter
mlnals as soon as they are ready and
to give closer supervision to the handling
Of cars.
The statement of the commission fol-
lows:
Reports are being received by the COM
mission indicating that car shortage Is
again threatened, caused in part by the
heavy movements of grain at this season
of the year.
THE commission, therefore, takes this
opportunity of again bringing to the at
tention Of the carriers and shippers the
necessity for close supervision Of the
| methods of loading unloading and NOV
| ing OF cars, SO as to secure the fullest
possible use of available equipment
Shippers should endeavor to secure the
| prompt and full loading of cars, and
consignees their prompt unloading and
| release
The commission feels justified in urg-
ing upon shippers and consignees that
| they shall not use cars for storage pur-
| poses but should endeavor to release them
as promptly as possible and not avail
| themselves of the full limit OF free time
provided by the tariffs.
carriers should also make every en-
deavor to eliminate delays and expedite
the movement Of shipments. Cars should
be promptly returned to the home line
company material promptly unloaded, and
| close supervision given to operations at
terminals.
Individual shippers and their associa-
tons and the carriers should co-operate
in order that the delays and losses con-
sequent to shortage of cars may, 80
far as possible, be avoided"
