AMERICAN COMMENT

l He 4NeW Ork StdatS ZeltunS. Upon the principles enunciated by the Presi- dent yesterday must be based the only saving peace that can come to the world and the only peace to the permanence of which the American people can willing ly loan their support.
 The New York Sun: Mr. Wilson is sworn to execute faithfully the office of President of the United States. and to the best of his ability to preserve, pro tect and defend the constitution of the United States He is not sworn to exc cute faithfully the office of president of humanity.
 The New York World: Our own belief is that President Wilson has enunciated the broad principles of liberty and ju,s- tice upon which alone durable peace is possible and under which the democ- racy of the world can ultimately come into its own. The influence which the Presidents address exerts upon Europe will depend in very large measure upon the influence which it exerts at home. and it's influence at home will depend in a very large measure upon the force that the American people still attach to those political principles which were once the life blood of the republic.
 Illinois Staats Zeitung: President Will son calmly gave vent to great words. without any authority to bring their in- fluence to bear. President Wilson not only missed the psychological moment to bring peace to cultured humanity and eternal glory to the United States, but the President has lost all moral author ity to make demands on the nations n,

health that about $40 be paid out of the treasury to reimburse pr. F. E. Harring- ton for expenses incurred in coming to Birmingham from Washington to assume his duties as county health officer
 MOTION IS TABLED
 This virtual bombshen followed in the wake of another jarring note. A commu- nication had just been read from the mayor and city council of Bessemer stat ing that they were opposed to any inter ference with their present health sys- tenn.
 As soon as the understone of murmur- ing had ceased, the recommendation oi the committee of health, as introduced at the last meeting, was brought to the attention of the meeting It proVloeu that, inasmuch as it had been agreed bt Surgeon General Blue of the United States public health service, and the committee of health that the expenses in cured by Dr. r. E. Harrington in tray eline from Washington and bringing his ba aggage were to be met by the medlcal society. this sum be appropriated from the treasury to meet these expenses
 pr. w. A. Burns moved that the mo- ton be tabled. This was seconded. Dr.
  mittee on health, explained that an agree ment had been made with Surgeon Gen eral Blue that the travelling expenses 0t pr. Harrington, who was loaned to the society for one year to serve as county health officer were to be met by the society, and urged that this be carried out The question was put by the pre- siding officer, Dr. Cabot Lull. and by vote of g to 30 the recommendations was tabled.
 This action caused a heated uproar of comment and pickering. pr. E. P. Riggs stated that the action of the society in refusing to meet this obligation was dis appointing in the extreme and intinated that this questioned their integrity and honor." The charge resulted in chaotic reign of disorder. Members jumped to their feet, shook closed fists at the speaker and demanded that he retract his charge that they were guilty of a dishon- orahle act in voting to table the recom- mendation.
 Dr. l.. G. Woodson was the first to be heard. He declared that the did not see where the members who had voted against the recommendation were not honorable and that they had not be- trayed any trust. In closing he demanded a retraction from Dr. Riggs.
 pr. E. P. Hogan voiced the senti- ment that it was in violation of all democratic principles to state that men could not vote as their minds dictated. This right, he said, should never be challenged.
 At this juncture pr. Riggs arose among the disorder and asked that he be heard He stated that apparently he had been somewhat misunderstood" and sat down.

SHOULD BE INFORMED

It seemed that free-for-a all was imminent. but Dr. Cabot Lull quieted With difficulty the meeting and al- lowed Dr. J. H. Edmondson to be heard He said that he had voted for the recommendation. but that he thought in the future the society should be informed of every cent to be appropriated before any debt was incurred. Dr. J Ross Snyder added that he thought the reckless expendi- ture of funds should be curbed
 In the course of the session the vote of Dr. Wright, who had just been taken into the society. was challenged He declared that he was opposed to pr. Harrington and thought that it was Illogical of the society to insist upon the confirmation of man who was opposed by the city commission, the board of revenue and "the maior- ity of the citizens of Jefferson county"
 Dr. E. M. Mason stated that the committee of health would personal ly assume the obligation and that the committee had acted in good faith in creating it. Dr. H. S. Ward and pr. Lowrey also were heard
 DR. PARKE TALKS
 Dr. Parke wound up the tempestuous session with his explanation He stated that ''he hoped everybody felt bet ter after having vented their spleen and that he was especially glad Dr. Ross Snyder had. -- He declared that the society had put this responsibility upon his shoulders and that he had not courted it. He added that he was not surprised al the action taken in- asmuch as he had gotten wind that this thing was going to happen. He stated that he did not see how a uni fled health system would be adopted that did not unify and that the com mittee of health. in doing as it had was merely trying to uphold the law The attitude of the city commission, he said, was a lawless one.
 Inasmuch as it's action had ques- tioned the laws of the state, he said that the state board of health would fight it and would foot the bills, if necessary.
 Following adjournment, it was re- ported that the question of forming another medical society for Jefferson county was being considered, and that the movement had considerable following.

PREPARE FOR GOOD HORSES.
NOW. THEY WILL BE NEEDED.

During the time when thu road and
saddle horse OF Tennessee was receiv-
ing the finishing touches in his deVel-
opment, there was great change be-
ing made in the agricultural field Of
the Middle West. The land owners
there were beginning to realize the
value OF more horse power on the
farm, and secured good types Of draft
stations for use on their foundation
OF range mares.
After getting the mares from this
sort of mating they saw that they had
an excellent incubator for high-priced
mules, il they used the proper kind
OF Jacks. 1t was then that they secured
Tennessee and Kentucky for jacks of
such type and carried many away dur
ing the succeeding years.
From this foundation they are now
producing mules that we are buying
as weanlings and developing on our
Tennessee farms, 1t Is common knowl-
edge that the best mule of this history
is the highest-priced mule on the mar
kets today.
Why not select draft stations Of
proper conformation and action to
mate with our common native mares,
as did the Middle Westerners years
ago, and produce our own good animals
in numbers equal to the demand?
It is possible that never again will
there be market equal to that of the
last two years for the plug horse. War
demands have been heavy, it is true,
but may never recur.
Now is the time to prepare against
the country with plug
horse stock by taking steps to have
to meet the regular de-
mands of our agricultural market

sired, the skins may be creased over

TEMPTING Sick Children

Every one who have had the care
Of a convalescent child knows how
hard it is to make him eat the things
that the doctor has prescribed. In
genious mothers and nurses have in
vented all sorts. of schemes and de-
vices to make the simple diet of the
sick child acceptable and interesting.
The little invalid who refuses to
take his milk and eggs will often
drink an eggnog from a tall glass
through straw. A little girl admires
parties, and will eat almost anything
if it is served from a dolls tea set.
especially if some of her dolls are
invited t, share the feast.
The dessert may be covered with
little tent, house or wigwam, with
tiny doll standing guard at the door,
and no peeking is allowed until
everything else on the tray is eaten.
Faces may be sketched on the eggs
and hats or caps tied on them. Toast
cut in fancy shapes is most exciting.
1t can be trimmed with a knife and
made into little houses with doors
and windows, or it may be cut with
cookv cutters. A dolls chahng dish
is a lot of fun. If the invalid is
strong enough to sit up, a small ia
bic may be set and he wilt never
know what is being served if father
is the waiter with napkin over his
arm.
With a little thought and care the
child may be made to eat almost
anything.-New York Tribune.
