Prevent InfractiOn

T rather like the system of the Memphis traffic officers better than I do that of Birmingham" remark ed Hugh Morrow.
 T was in Memphis last week and mo- ticed the way the Memphis police handled the traffic. There they are Impressed with the duty of preventing infractions of the city ordinances and always warn a citizen or a stranger whom they see about to commit some transgression Here we handle the matter entirely different. Our officers will watch violation of an ordinance. and when they think the job is well done make arrests. The traffic off, cers even hide behind a shrub or a tree or fence, evidently hoping that the approaching automobilist will
 speed her up d little so they can make an arrest. If they would stand out in plain view, of course their presence would restrain any restless driver who might have a desire to see just what his car would do in a pinch"

The book is full of figures, diagrams, maps and pictures.
 Yes, war is trade as we'll as a pro- fession, and it's a progressive science that demands the best in brains and brawn, and I firmly believe that the entrance of this country into the great European war is going to show to the Kaiser that the American soldier is the best equipped, the most resourceful and the most daring man of war that the world has ever known.

BIRMINGHAM SUPREMACY

From the Hartford Courant
 People in this part of the country who have looked upon Atlanta as be- ing the Empire City of it's section need to revise their estimate. as a recent census of Birmingham, Ala, shows
 that city to have a population of 212,-
 436. This means that this southern
 city the largest in Alabama. has had a wonderful growth during the past seven years as the last official census in 1910, gave it population of 1S26S5.
 Atlanta is, therefore, shorn of her su- premacy in that field and to Birming- ham must be given first honors.
 The residents of Alabama, and of Georgia. for that matter, have for Hong time spoken of Birmingham as tho Magic City of the south. They mani

Was Too Much
 of a PaciGisG

lCs REE speech is good thing and H is one of the distinctive marks of democracy. But radical thinkers and agitators, social doctrinaires and avowed anarchists do not differenti- ate between liberty and license. There are entirely too many Ameri- can citizens who are now sowing the seeds of treason under the name of pacifism. They claim the right to say what they please, even if by doing so they oppose the government in a crisis like this. All such agitators should be suppressed and that in short order.
 Dr. Lindley Miller Keasbey, pro lessor of economics and political science at the University of Texas, has been dismissed from the institu- tion because of his connection with the pacifist organization. His activi- ties in radical reform movements in Texas have been extremely irritating to the conservative element, and many prominent citizens, it was thought.

INSUFFICIENT NOURISHMENT
By sEALE HARRIS, M. ID.

and many professional men frequently belong to that class.
 Many school children will not take time from work or play to eat. They rush to school in the morning, eat very little or no luncheon because it takes timeI from play and at night they are oftenl too tired to eat As a consequence they do not develop as they should either physically or mentally.
 Trees and other plants grow directly in proportion to the character of the soil from which they derive their nutritioni Animals, including the highest type, thd human being, will not grow or thrive fl not properly nourished. Parents should see to it that their children eat propI ery if they would have them grow intd strong Inen and women. The slender individual is usually, bui not always, undernourished. It is charI aeteristic for certain families to be slenI der and it is not possible to fatten themf1 but with a proper regulated diet mosl8 persons can be made to take on weighd1 It is a fact that long -waisted slende Il people have not the appetites, and the5s often have digestive disturbances. The]8 consequently suffer more from deficien nutrition.
 A few years ago a number of the largls life insurance companies undertook tM investigate the causes of deaths of morvs than 100000 policyholders. They foun,H that a very large proportion of thoAI who died of tuberculosis were undeIl weight; and that those who were normal weight rarely died of the dis ease. Their conclusion was that the wel nourisked individual rarely develops tli berculosis. Consequently life insuranoS companies will not insure men or wome. who are 30 per cent under weight
 Military authorities will not accept feIa service men who are too slender becausW experience has shown that they havA not the endurance to stand the hardshil M oe war. It is, therefore, the time fcs slender men and women to watch the1| diet and if it is found that they do nt5l eat enough they can build themselves ul| and increase in weight. by eating more.

South s Quota of Men
 For National Army

THE explanation of the alleged
 4 favoritism shown the southern states in estimating their quota of ; men for the national army is quite simple. As matter of fact there is
 no discrimination when size and character of population are consid- cred.
 Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi may be taken as typical of southern states. According to the census statistics of 1915, Alabama will be called on to furnish men at the rate of 59 per thousand. Her quota is 13,612, with no allowance made for increase of population. The states population in June, 1915, was 2,301,- 277. Georgia's rate per thousand will
 be 6.5; Mississfppi's, 9.
 The rate per thousand in Illinois is S.4; in Indiana, 6.2; in Iowa, 5.7; in New York state, 68; in Pennsyl-
 vania, 7.2. It will thus be seen that there is but slight difference one way
 or the other in the apportionment of
 men. The figures for the states given
 here are typical of the draft percent
 ages throughout the country. Mis- sissippi has a higher rate than Illinois. New York and Pennsylvania are but slightly higher than Alabama and Georgia. Politicians whose favorite cry is that the "south is in the saddle" have been trying to make capital out of the draft figures. Many of the lead ing papers of the north deplore the injection of politics and sectionalism into matter which so vitally con-
 cerns the whole country and they de-
 fend the south from the unjust impu- tation that she is not only not willing, but will not be called on to do her
 part.

l TN former articles the writer has | pointed out some of the dangers from
 overeating, particularly of meats. The
 person who undereats is injuring him 1 self just as surely as he who eats more
 than he, can digest and assimilate. The
 uEdernourished, because their bodies are
 in lowered state of vitality, are more | susceptible to tuberculosis, anemia pel- | lagra and other disease of malnutrition; while those who eat too much die early | from chronic Bright's disease, heart dis
 eases, apoplexy and other degenerative
 diseases.
 | The happy medium" a well balanced l diet, is the key to efficiency happiness
 and long life.
 While the great majority of adults eat
 too much there are thousands who eat | too little or who eat too much of one kind of food and not enough of others The undernourished class is not en- tirely made up of the poor who cannot buy food; because in this blessed land of ours there are relatively few who cannot earn enough to buy the necessi- ties of life in normal times though with
 the present inordnately high prices
 many will suffer for want of food Women are more frequently undernour- ished than men. Mothefs and housekeep-
 CTS even in homes of plenty, frequently do not eat enough They also make up l the class who work hardest and who 1 have the longest hours, and who there fore, should be well nourished Business and working women are also frequently undernourished because they receive low wages and many of them
 prepare their own food when they are rushed in the mornings or are tired at
 night They often make their lunches on cup of coffee or tea and a sand wich, which satisfies hunger and stimu- lates, but does not give enough nourish- ment.
 Women, more than men, partly for these reasons, have neurasthenia hys-
 teria and other nervous troubles which are relieved by rest and forced feed ing for few weeks It is also a fact which may be partly accounted for by ueHcleHt nutri1lon, that women are af- flicted with and die from tuberculosis
 pellagra and anemias more than men. While more women than men are un- demonstrated many of the Stronger sex particularly those who have long hours
 and lead sedentary lives, have not the appetites and do not eat enough. Book keepers, office men of all kinds, teachers
