A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
FOR USERS OF TOBACCO

We note the following in the Pay

following pledge.

that during the war, shall and will
abstain from the use of tobacco in any
form. Kindly refrain from offering

terially in the purchase of liberty

my business. r. A. PORTER.
"Only those who have had the ex-
perence can fully realize what sacri-
flee this means. Aside from the bene-
fits through saving the extra money
that Mr.. Porter will gain, he will no
doubt realize that he has benefited
himself morally to large extent, and

WY Late Cabbage. ~

Late cabbage is usually grown as u
crop following early potatoes, peas or
some other crop that leaves the ground
free for about one-half the growing
season. The plants may be grown in
the seedbed, ii being necessary to SOW
the seed some three or four weeks
before II is desired to set them In po-
sition in the garden. Ii Is an excel
lent plan to follow early potatoes with
late cabbage, as none of the insects
that affect early potatoes are liable
to modest the late cabbage, and IL is
possible to set the plants between the
potato rows some two or three weeks
before the potatoes are dug. In this
manner sufficient time is gained TO
permit the cabbage to reach maturity
before hard freezing weather occurs
in the fall.
The rows should be about 3 feet
apart and the plants some 2 feet
apart in the rows. Slight freezing
does not injure cabbage, but II should
not be subjected to repeated freezing
and thawing. Late cabbage can be
stored by taking up plants and pack.

The German authorities were not
satisfied with one impoverishing levy.
In November. 1915, one month before
the expiration of the twelve-montb
period fixed for the levy, they decreed
that the contribution Of 40OOO,OO0
francs month should be paid for an
indefinite period. In November, 1916,
they increased the levy to 50,0O00OO
francs a month. In addition, faithful
to the method laid down by the high
command, the German authorities
have continued to levy fines upon
towns and villages for acts committed
In their neighborhood, although they
had no proof that these acts had been
committed by any inhabitan. of the

industry of our nation.
All the mines are under govern
ment control and the output of these
fields is daily increasing. Scarcity of
labor has caused higher wages and
everyone seems rushed to the limit.
The large steel mills at Bessemer
Pratt City and Ensley are daily turn
ing out thousands of tons of rails, pig
iron and castings. The government is
building large steel plate mill at
Fairfield city under the limits OF
greater Birmingham. Uncle Sam will
use the product to armor his war

dergone an evolution. Rapid changes
have taken place since | first came

One thing that impresses one is the
good natured manners of the people
We are welcomed most everywhere
In fact, ministers of the churches take
a back seat when we come about.
With the evolution in industry has
come revolution in religion. The wal
has caused many thousands to think
of their spiritual welfare and the Cos

taught it has taken root until it seem:

DIR. STOOKEY DELIVERS
INTERESTING TALK
ON CARE OF CHILDREN

Last Sunday evening, as a part OF
the extension work Of the University
of Utah, DR.. Stookey of Salt Lake
City delivered highly interesting lee
ture on the subject of Conservation of
Human Life, dealing especially with
diseases of eye, ear, nose and throat
in children, in which lines the Doctor
specializes.
By means of diagrams executed on
the blackboard, DR.. Stookey explained
some of the more prevalent diseases
of the head and throat, including ton
silitis, defective .eyesight, causes of
deafness, and the far-reaching and
disastrous effects of tonsilitis and
other pus diseases which feed con-
slant stream of poison to the entire
system, causing heart lesion and other
incurable diseases.
Attention was called to the status
of the human race in this country, and
the large percentage of physically un
fit persons brought to light by the
examinations for aviation service in
the United States army, which was
largely due to a neglect Of these dis
eases.
The speaker stated that ninety per
cent of all human diseases had Their
origin in the head and neck,

tors talk, which was extremely inter
