HOW TO STORE FLOUR

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 Specialists in the United States depart- lnent of agriculture have studied the best means of storing flour in the home so that it will not be contaminated by odors or become musty. Flour should never be stored in the cellar even though bin has been built in the cellar for that purpose. A cellar is usually damp and odors are generally found there which the flour will absorb. The attic is as bad place to store flour as the cellar. In the sum mer the temperature of the attic is too high and as the ventilation is usually poor the flour is likely to acquire musty odor. Except in very small quantities flour should not be stored in the pantry or kitchen because the temperature is too uneven and there are too many odors which the flour is likely to acquire. Ev- cry house should possess a small, we'll ventilated storeroom where nonodorou5 food should be kept. The temperature in this room should be so regulated that it will not fluctuate more than d very few degrees. Always clean the flour con- tainer before putting in new stock. If flour is kept in the barrel in which it was purchased, boards should be placed un-r der it to keep it off the floor. ~

A GREAT MOTHER
From the Montgomery Advertiser.

From the Montgomery Advertiser. G7TlHERE lives in Pratt City, near
 Birmingham, a dear old woman
 9 fit to be the mother of any man. She is not great in the point of power given by wealth and high favor. She is not great as the mistress of a mighty propaganda, for she is not endeavoring to regenerate mankind, making disloyal address and writing seditious litera- ture. She is not striving to correct her government, or to undermine her gov ernment. She is not an irreconcilable reformer with a message" for a class, decrying the record man has made in conducting the affairs 1f the world She is but simple, straightforward, straight thinking woman who while meditating the approach to the great divide, had her soul wrenched by a srtevous force, force which came and took away from her forever her strons and well beloved son.
 But she is a great woman She is that because she is truly great mother fit to be a Spartan mother. She is Mrs. Betty Ingram, mother or Osmund Kelly Ingram the first American sailor to go to his death at the eneiny's hands after we entered the war

Enrolling for Alabama
 Educational Meet

A LTHoUGH the annual convention A of the Alabama Educational association for 1918, which will be lheld in Birmingham, is nearly five months off, the Educational Exihange is urging the teachers to enroll now. Many have already had their names placed on the list and it is hoped that before the end of the year a large majority of the associations member ship will have acted upon the Ex- changes appeal.
 The forthcoming convention prom ises to be the most largely attended of any yet held. A programme of un- usual interest is being arranged, and the anivating addresses that will be delivered by prominent educators, and the various symposiums dealing2t once with the practical side of pedagogy and the larger cultural influences in general can but result in a distinct quickening of public school activities in Alabama.
 Birmingham always proves popu- lar meeting place for the association, and the indications are that next years attendance will reach a new record. The enrolment has been as high as 2500, but it will not be sur prising if it totals 5000 in 1918.
 Prof. J. A. Moore of Jasper has charge of the listing of members of the association who intend to be pres ent at the convention and he will see that each person on his roll receives all the official announcements to be issued by the association committee between now and convention week, and there will be many such an- nouncements and all of them import ant. Enroll without delay.

My sorrow seems so small when think of the sorrow of the whole world" she said to a Birmingham newspaper reporter. And then she spoke this psalm out of the abundance of her heart:
 T have given up my boy. Not for worlds would I have him regiven. long to have him back, still, would not retake him. My heart is so full of pride and suffering, and of love and hate. I grudge him, yet I don't grudge him. I have two other sons, even, dearer to me now than before. Yet I would give them, too, rather than see the cause lost for which I gave my first
 And my own lfe-weli, I would gladly throw it into the fight against the Ger mans. I can't understand the women who keep asking what will become of them if their boys go to fight. My own life doesn't mean so much to me that 1 would ask my son to fail his country for me"
 This is well worthy to take its place as the American mothers creed. The spirit of these words should temper the reflections of all American mothers who have sons in this war, and strengthen them for resistance to whatever fate may claim these sons and strike at the hearts of the mothers.

Cost of Carelessness
 in City Streets

4 self and others," is the sub- feet of The Age-Herald's safety first" advertisement this morning. There is a great deal to be said for in- stinct, but the habit of being cautious is something that must be acquired.
 The streets of all American cities are dangerous. The most drastic laws ever put on the statute books cannot prevent accidents from happening If the individual is careless. A certain amount of risk is unavoidable; but people who watch their step, who keep their eyes open, will be able to minimize the danger. By cooperation with other individuals, many lives can be saved and permanent injury avoided.
 The purpose of the safety first" advertisements appearing twice a week in this newspaper, and paid for by public spirited firms of Birming- ham, is to show by illustrations of common street accidents, how careless people are and the needless risks to which they expose themselves.
 Children must be instructed to take care of themselves, but there is no excuse for an adult, used to the ways of city, nisking his life dozen times a day. The driver of truck cannot see what is happening behind him, but the pedestrian or the bicycle rider who does not keep his wits about him may be struck by the rear end of the truck while making a sharp turn and seri- ously injured.
 There is 3 warning that is familiar to nearly everybody in this country 1t is "Stop! Look! Listen" There are no signs along our crowded city streets to warn the thoughtless person. That is all the more reason why he should think for himself and not take chances. The strong arm of police. man is not always ready to draw hin back from danger. A traffic police man cannot be everywhere at once.

British Tanks Lead
 Way to Victory

Wl{T HEN the story of the tank"
 w is written it will be stirring and unique contribution to the history of the great war in Europe. Realizing the widest dreams of fiction writers, these uncouth monsters have led the way to victory time and again, sweep ing away barbed wire entanglements, waddling through shell craters and climbing over trenches, while their guns played havoc with the foe and their irresistible onslaught cheered the infantry charging behind them.
 For some reason, probably because they are on the defensive now, the Germans have not utilized the iron monitors which have done such good work for the allied cause on the west ern battle front. They have been quick heretofore to seize upon any new de- vice brought into play by the French and British. and thanks to the ca

Mississippi Taking
 Lead in Good Roads

TIT was but few years ago that 0 Mississippi was numbered with improved highways. Today, accord ing to a detailed report of Engineer x. A. Kramer, published in the cur rent issue of the Road Maker, it is making wonderful strides. And Mis- sissippi's progress ill road building has been so quiet as to attract little attention outside of the state
 It was only during the excitement incident to locating the Jackson high. way route from Tennessee to the gulf that anything was heard about Mis- sissippi's road construction activities. But after reading MT. Kramers ar ticle one realizes how systematically the highway work is being done
 A recent inspection reveals the fact that the improvement in the delta counties during the last six months has been unprecedented, and in other parts of the state progress has been steady and satisfactory.
 q think" says Mr. Kramer, "Mis- sissippi has taken the lead in road construction in the south. Approx imately $7,5O0,000 is now available { for good roads in our state. General ] ly speaking, the work being done Is permanent" He then goes on to say that the improved roads being built cent within the next five years
 Farms in south Mississippi counties that sold two years ago for $10 an acre are now bringing $25 in counties where good roads have been com 1 pleted.
 "When road improvement was firs
 projected" quoting Mr Kramer 1 many of the farmers were antagonis tic to the proposition; now farmer: l everywhere are insistent that per manent roads be built as rapidly a. feasible.
 And the same thing is true O other southern states. If there wa' not positive antagonism to spendin, public money for good roads, ther' was apathy concerning the entir' movement. Practically everybody il Alabama is now an enthusiastic ad yocate of first class highways. And i | probably is so in all the other south ern states. A friendly rivalry be tween the states is a good thing, bu it will never do to let Mississippi ge

Shifting of Society Center

''The social center of the city has shifted as well as the business center, remarked D. B. Grace who probably knows as much about the life and changes as any man in Birmingham.
 The social center was first at Nor ris avenue and Nineteenth street, the Re- lay house. Here Mrs Ward and daugh- CTS, and Miss Salie Harrison (Mrs. R. +. Person. held court, and here Doak Mudl and Baylis Grace and other young men gathered on Sunday afternoons.
 ..Then the social center shifted to Third avenue and Twenty-third street, where lived the Earles, McLesters, and other so- ciety leaders. Then it shifted to Fifth and Eighth avenues, then to Five Points, and is now in and around Lakeyiew."
