Every Dollar Is Doing Its Duty in
 Tuberculosis Work
ro the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 There is, I find, an absurd impression in some minds that this association receives a world of money. What do they do with it?'' ask the thoughtless Your kind notice of this morning will serve to remind many that in these days a dollar has it's limits in purch- asing power. We can't cut expense without reducing our usefulness. Does anyone want us to dismiss nurse, or a patient? The truth is that any citi ; zen may call and see what goes with the money. Every item is made plain enough for the wayfaring man to com rrehend What is astonishing is that we have made ends meet so triumph antly for so long time. With no boast fitness, but a great conviction, l can say that it Is the most miraculous thing I have ever had the p-ivilere of helping to do, in however humble way.
 Our monthly bills demand about s14o0. For this we give at least $200O worth of service to the sick and pro- lection to the well. Not one of our patients is humiliated in the process, unless it be through the inadequacy of our accommodations.
 know how all of Birmingham Is being asked almost daily for special gifts just now. It Is the worlds hour Of travail. Among our noble allies 1t is the same, and the same in all our lovely sisterhood of states. On the oth- CT hand, France and England have long been bearing these burdens besides giving genially and generously to Bel cium, Servia, Poland, approximately much more indeed than generous America has given.
 Not only so, but business in America is tremendously good. The loans we make are putting money in the pockets of our own people. We do not send gold abroad but goods. Why shouldn't we be generous? Meanwhile our broth CTS across the sea are splendidly supp porting their churches. their charities, their throngs of wounded, and are not shutting down on legitimate amuse- ments either!
 This Is a time of trial which will show what manner of men and women we are. am not afraid that Birming ham will forsake the work of her own hands. Now is not the moment to re- duce but to enlarge the scope of anti tuberculosis associations everywhere. w ar IS aBaln breeding tnlS plague also. God nor Gods people will by any means leave us in the ditch.
 Again I thank you for the gracious message of your editorial this morn ing. By tho noon mail came the first response of t2. Two hundred and forty nine moro at the same rate will lift us clear for the moment. There are many who will be glad to do more and many moro who can only do less. Every little helps, if we get it! Will not your willing reader send 1t now, before it slips his mind? The city post age rate is still only ? cents. Gratefully. yours GEORGE EAvES.

JUDGE AL. RANKIN
 OF ANDALUS|AM MAY
 SUCCEED MAR TIN
Governor, However, Gives No Intimation of Choice. Tate of Wetumkpa Is
 Also Mentioned

Montsomery, November 5.-(Special) Judge A. l.. Rankin of Andalusia, Juuge of the Andalusia city court until it was abolished in 1915. probably will be named attorney general as the successor of William L. Martin by Governor Hem derson. It has become known that the governor has looked with favor upon Judge Rankin since the attorney general began the consideration of the advisa- bility of returning to the army and de- sires to show him a favor before his term expires.
 Judge Rankin was a supporter Of the governor in his warm campaign with E. B. Conner in 1914. He was considered for the position on the court of appeals which went to Judge w. H. Sanford of Mont gomery after many days delay. It is known that mutual friends of the attor- ney general conferred with Governor Henderson during the past few days about the appointment of a man who would to some degree carry out the pol icies for law enforcement established by MT. Martin. The governor declined to say what he would do, but let it be known that Judge Rankin would be con- sidered for the position if the attorney general resigned.
 l.. Lloyd Tate of Wetumpka, solicitor of the Fifteenth judicial circuit, who will apply for the position, was also a strong supporter of Governor Henderson and made speaking tour of the state in the governors interest
 Because of the many battles of words between Attorney General Martin and Governor Henderson it is considered i'm probable that the governor will con- sider the name of any man who has been close to the attorney general. This will eliminate Lawrence E. Brown, as- sistant attorney general. who voted and worked for Governor Henderson, but who accepted employment under the at torney general and declined to leave the office last July when the governor re- fused to renew his contract. Rather than leave the attorney general without suf- fcient assistance, MT. Brown agreed to work for the salary of $50 month pro- vded by statute for the first assistant attorney general. Under the contract, which had been approved by the govern or, MT. Brown received $2o0.

CAMP M'CLELLAN RECEIVES SHIPMENT
 OF 700 HEATERS

Anniston. November 5.--(Special.) Seven hundred heaters have been re- ceived at Camp Mcclellan during the past two days. These heaters are be- ing distributed as rapidly s possible among the different regiments, at the base hospital and regimental fnfirm- aries and bath houses. They are of varying sizes, the grates ranging from six inches in width to 24 inches.
 A score of steamfitters started work Monday morning installing the heaters in the bath houses in order to supply hot water for the daily shower baths date. Thousands of the soldiers have been proving their hardihood by talk ing cold shower every morning in spite of tine chilly weather that has been experienced at the camp.
 Tent stoves have already been in stalled in all tents m the camp and the added comfort of hot water t the shower bath houses will be great ly appreciated by the men. Tn addition to having hot water, the bath houses are being made warmer by being closed in and having the sides bat tened W1tn rOOIlnS paper.
 The heaters will use coal as fuel and here will be found more work for the army teamsters and their mules as well as for the heavy army trucks. The coal is now being un1oaded near the end of the reservation railroad, where the quartermasters stores of hay and other supplies are kept, and at point easily accessible to teams. Each regiment will be expected to ar range for the hauling of the coal used by the different companies in that regiment.
 In addition to the great amount of coal that will be required for the heaters, hundreds of cords of wood are being used daily to heat the tents. supply fuel for the field bakery and to keep the incinerators burning. The men in the tents are cleaning up the camp of all loose stumps and other wood for their fuel and sometimes make the mistake of taking some of the company cool's s supply, which re. suits in trouble
 The once heavily timbered tract on which the camp is now located has been denuded of practically all tim Der, except on the mountain sides and around the base hospital, where, for the sake of appearances, as much of the timber as possible was saved by order of Lieut.. Col Charles l.. Dulin.

Postmaster Smyer Is
 Making Preparations
 for Christmas Rush

At the Christmas season we usu- ally have to put on an extra force of about a hundred" said Postmaster Smyer. This year 100 will be entire ly insufficient should the increased business expected come in.
 T have made application at Wash ington for the civil service files of eligibles for clerks and carriers be re- vised so that positions in either branch of the service may be selected from the list. The government is particu- larly short of men in Washington now and nearly anyone who can success fully stand the examination can secure a place. The war has taken some of the best men out of civil service. That is principally the reason for the short age at this office and I am sure that it has had a telling effect over the entire country"
