 There are two clements in the pro- hibition party in Alabama and these two elements seem to be wide apart at the present time. Both of these clements know full well that the open saloon of the olden days in Alabama has been banished forever.< There never will be a wide open saloon town in Alabama again But the present pro- hibition laws of the state arc distaste- ful to lots of people. Every man who wants whisky can get it by having it shipped in; and neither the state nor any of its citizens derive any rev. enue therefrom.
 If whisky is legally permitted to be shipped to consumer in the state there should be some remedy by which the state could derive 8 revenue from it.

 It has also been proposed that coun- ties may operate dispensaries in which not less than quart bottles of whisky can be sold and not more than one bot
 It has also been proposed that hotels of certain class shall be permitted to serve drinks with meals. but not other wise.
 The prohibitionists themselves are divided as to how to solve the problem. None of them are contented with the present situation.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE PROHIBITION
 SITUATION AND CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR

It is rather early to discuss the mat ter of who shall be the next governor of this state. But the time has come when Alabama, in it's present condition financially and, otherwise, needs a big, broad gauged man in the executive mansion at Montgomery. It needs a man broad enough to put the state on its feet financially, and liberal enough to comply with the wishes of the majority of the conservative people on the prohibition question.
 Unless there be national prohibition law, it will be impossible to prevent the consumption of liquor in Alabama. The sale of such, however, might be mini mixed in way to supply the old time users of such and yet prevent the youth or the StAtc lrou peAn5 1SPeSo " form the habit

New Works Diet Smuuad We'll Fed

TN these days of high cost of Irish 1 potatoes, eggs and other es- .eemed articles of food many expert hents are being made along dietary hes. In Chicago recently test was made in the police department, and it was seen that on light diet, costing i2 cents day, the "blue coats" were kept in the pink of condition.
 New York is now trying to beat Chicago's record. With the approval of Commissioner Arthur Woods, IF policemen have volunteered to live Ghree weeks on the meals prepared under the supervision of medical of ] ficer.

The "rage for destruc- tion" which he attributes to the al- lies is certainly not borne out by any thing they have accomplished so far. In the matter of destruction" the central powers are far ahead of their enemies, as shown by the plight of Belgium, Servia, Montenegro and Ru- mania, not to mention the havoc wrought in France and elsewhere. As usual the Kaiser incorporates | the Deity in his bombastic address, with naive indifference to the mur- derous Turk, the activities of U-boats, atrocities in Belgium and a long list | of outrages charged to Germany, which most of the neutral nations 
 now believe to be true. If the Kaiser is merely seeking to delude his subjects further, perhaps his latest proclamation will have the tended effect. They will be con- vinced that Germany is right and the allies wrong. However, neutral opin-- ion has already been formed. The Kaiser may illuminate to his hearts content. His proclamations do not convince. If they really express his innermost thoughts and are not in- tended merely to encourage the Ger mans to make greater sacrifices, under the belief that they are fight ing for existence, then the impression is' strengthened that there is some thing wrong with his mind.

Kaiser Delivers

Kaiser Delivers
 Another Proclamation
 II s the German Kaiser madman? 4 Many of the more conservative German-American have asked that question. The latest proclamation of the Emperor, officially published in Berlin and reported by the Associated Press yesterday, is remarkable document. It was issued in reply to the note of ee entente stating the terms on which the allies would be willing to make peace.
 The Emperor says: "Our enemies have dropped the mask. After refus- ing with scorn and hypocritical words of love for peace and humanity, our honest peace offer, they have now in their reply to the United States gone beyond that and admitted their lust for conquest, the baseness of which is further enhanced by their calumni- ous assertions. Their aim is the crushing of Germany, the dismember- ment of the powers allied with us, and the achievement of the freedom of Europe and the seas under the same yoke that Greece with gnashing of teeth is now enduring"
 After referring to "our glorious
 victories and our iron strength of will" the proclamation continues: Burning indignation and holy wrath
 will redouble the strength of every
 German man and woman, whether it lis devoted to fighting, to work or
 to suffering. We are ready for all l sacrifices. The God who planted His
 glorious spirit of freedom in the
 hearts of our brave people will also give us and our loyal allies, tested in
 .tsle, the full victory over all the
 enemy lust for power and rage for destruction"

 real basis in the entente reply for

6T7EE announcement by a few of
 Breck Musgrove's enthusiastic
 friends that he would be can- didate for governor seems to have been a flash in the pan.
 Breck Musgrove was in Washington when this announcement was made and 1t was apparently based on talk which Musgrove had indulged in be- fore he left Alabama
 As matter of fact. Breck likes to push other people forward to public office He has always been ambi- tious to become the Colonel House of an administration. He has. however, failed in every attempt except way back wonder when he supported John Bankhead for Congress. Bankhead was elected, but in Congress would not

 Musgrove would like to unseat him. but the chances are that the venerable Alabama senator will remain in the upper house of Congress as long as he lives.
 MusgroveN is an ambitious fellow and a good fellow personally, but those who know him best are confident that he will not put himself in the spotlight to be shot at By this, do not mean to say that he is vulnerable or that he has not pretty good reo- ord. but he is one of that type who knows better how to aid a friend than to promote himself He Is a great big, generous. good-hearted fellow who likes to aid his friends. He likewise never hesitates to punish an enemy.
 But Breck Musgrove will not be a candidate for governor and the chances

meals. As for drinking alcoholic bev-
 erages between meals, the only rule was that the drinker must tell how much he imbibed. Of the twelve vol unteers seven are teetotalers, while the other five confessed to indulgence in moderation. One said he was in the habit of taking only one drink a week.
 Time was when the police diet would have been considered little bet ter than starvation for stalwart men; but in this country where absteminous living is now practiced scientifically and for health purposes it is com mon thing for well-to-do people to get up from the table little hungry-all for the sake of good health.
 The United States government feeds its troops on duty on the bor- der for 28 cents per capita. New York's diet squad will come through with flying colors no doubt but, after all, experiments of this kind prove nothing. Thousands of men and wom en in every large city are fed on less than 25 cents day, because they cannot afford to spend more, and oth- CT thousands live on 25 cents day be- cause they find that light diet agrees with them.
 The New York experiment is "all |foolishness." It is like so much lost motion. In hygienic science the past masters know all about food values, know all about calories and proteids and about human digestion; so what's the use of making a parade over cheap living just because some highbrow suggests it?

Work Needed For
 Three-MiIl Tax

NVTHILE majority of the pre-
 WV cincts of Jefferson county re- port earnest interest in the 3-mlll school tax campaign there are few where organized effort is needed. The election is only two weeks from Tues day and the friends of education should keep their shoulders to the wheel from now until the polls close.
 At the regular election in Novem- { Der the educational amendment was Ratified by majority of 6947. It was the biggest amendment majority cast hy any county in the state, and 1t IS the hope of the campaign committee to do relatively as well on the 30th of January; but it requires first-rate team work to bring out a full vote at a special election
 No intelligent voter can fail to ap- preciate the importance of the 3-miu tax proposition Jefferson has now only a seven-month school term-a disgrace to so populous and rich a county.
 With 3-mill tax we will have a nine-month term. On the other hand should the proposition be defeated the county would be reduced to five or six-month basis, for the reason that the compulsory attendance law, which becomes effective next fall, will increase the county enrolment by fully. 10000 pupils. The situation will call for many additional teachers and unless additional revenue is pro- vided the term will have to be short ened-in Birmingham approximately as well as in the county outside.
 The 3-mill tax will not only keep the schools going nine months in the year, but it will give the county more sanitary school buildings. It behooves every public-spirited citizen, there fore, to work for the tax levy. He must not only vote himself, but he should see that his less public-spirited neighbor votes.
 With large vote decisive ma jority on the right side may be ex- pected But nothing must be taken for granted. Let's have whirlwind campaign.

Reno. New, May, 21,-The supply
Of hogs during the past week or ten
days has been a little more liberal
than heretofore. Prices. however, are
generally higher and we are now pay

For hogs weighing $50 to 800 lbs.
where they average over 175 lbs

Where they average under 175lbs.

Hogs weighing 100 to $50 lbs.

Heavy rough hogs 14c
Stock and Feeder hogs lac.

General conditions point to con-
tinued high prices for hogs and it is
increasingly evident that there is
a very substantial profit in feeding
and raising hogs. The farmers can
not be urged too much to increase
their feed crop acreage in every way
possible, and devote every energy to
raising more hogs and food supplies
of all kinds, as it is evident, form
present world conditions, that there
cannot be surplus for some time to
come; consequently, we must face the
pl esent high prices for all food pro-
ducts and even the possibility of hay
ing to pay still more for food prod
ucts of all kinds, until we'll into next
