added, is the only way to restore
the peace of the world.
Continuing the Secretary said: III
any of you have the idea that we are
fighting others battles and not our

that idea the better it will be for him;
the better it will be for all of US. I'm

Paul Goode, Ph. D. of Chicago uni versity next Thursday night. pr. Goode's subject will be. The Geo. graphic and Economic Foundations of the Great War" dllustrated).
 pr. Brown and the lyceum commit tee outlined for the 1916-17 course an analytical study of the present world war. The speakers in the course were carefully chosen with the view of having men who have not only made scholarly study of the we'll nigh incomprehensible war that is but those who have especially studied some particular phase of the war.
 Dr. Browns opinion, with all due ap- preciation of the lectures already given, is that the address of Dr. Goode will easily be the climax of the war series.

ID TAKE APPEAL IN
 BEHALF 0F GAST0N
City Will Contest Decision of Judge Sharpe Ousting
 City Health Officer

Holding that pr. Cecil D. Gaston
 is unlawfully holding the position, as
 city health officer, Judge IT. A. Sharpe
 ing ordered that he be busted and ex- cluded from the office. The decision was rendered on quo warranto pro- sceedings brought in the name of the
 state ex rel Dr. T. D. Parke, who is
 chairman of the committee of health
 of the Jefferson County Medical so-
 ciety
 The question involved was the right
 of the city to appoint or elect city
 health officer. or whether that author-
 ity was conferred on the county board of health Under Judge Sharpe's rul- ing the election of a city health of-
 ficer is vested in the board of health
 Notice of appeal was given and a
 supersedeas bond was fixed in the
 sum of S100, which was made. Dr. Cas-
 ton will continue to exercise the du- ties of the office pending the ruling of the supreme court on the case. Judge Samuel D. Weakley and Bor- den Burr. attorneys for Dr. Parke, in their arguments before the court con tended that Dr. Gaston was holding the office without warrant, being an appointee Of the city commission ana
 argued that the state code expressly provided that the city health officer should be elected by the county board ! of health.
 City Attorney Ullman, who repre- sented the defendant. contended that the city had the right to appoint it's health officer under the provisions of | it's charter. He also argued that as the 1 office was vacant under the ruling | which declared Dr. Harrington unqual- | flied. that the city had the right l to fill the vacancy.
 l The ruling of Judge Sharpe in part | follows:
 | Tt is by the court considered, or dered and adjudged that the said Cecil i D. Gaston is unlawfully holding and 1 exercising the duties of city health officer of the city of Birmingham and | that he be, and he hereby is busted | and excluded from said office" l The litigation in this case does not | involve the city physician, having ref 1 erence only to the city health officer.

 Both Charley and Abe Klotzman havo been in the clothing trade in Bir- mingham for many years, They know the business thoroughly and they feel that the new line of goods they are introducing to the men of this city of fers the most exceptional value tha. has ever been presented.
 Both are expert filters and they will not only see that every man who leaves their place is properly fitted but that every suit of clothes sold carries with it a guarantee as to it's quality.
