CAPT ELMER B. CAMPBELL
 of Albertville, Ala, who landed lover there shortly before the signing of the armistice. He writes home that he is even more pleasantly and comfortably located than while in camp in the states
 Captain Campbell was commissioned as second lieutenant soon after being drafted, and at Camp Lee, Va, was soon promoted to captain. He went over as commander of the first veterinary re- placement unit, and is now in charge of an evacuation section.
 Captain Campbell is postgraduate of Auburn Polytechnic institute, and one of Alabama's youngest captains.

ing, but as soon as the district system was inaugurated in Birmingham she be- came district nurse, and held that posi- tion till year and a half ago, when suffering from severe cold and break down she discontinued work and went to the Adirondack mountains in search of health.
 Finding no improvement in her condi- tion she returned south and spent a time at Montgomery, where her parents live. Two months ago she came to St Vincent's and there passed her last days peacefully and quietly.
 Miss Forsman's body will lie in state in St Pauls church during the first two masses at 6:30 and 7;S0 o'clock on Sunday The 9:3o mass will be the fu- neral mass and after mass the interment will take place in the Southside Catholic cemetery.
 Miss Forsman is survived by her fa- ther and mother, three sisters, Mrs Fred Larkin, Misses Rosalie and Anna Fors- man, and two brothers, Mauritz and Bonnet Forsman. Miss Forsman had a wide circle of acquaintances who will mourn her early taking away.

 weight champion of America. Elliott , continued extremely willing to fight any
 one who wanted to try conclusions With him-but all logical opponents fought shy of him.
 And then Elliott went west and took a part in the Fenian raids in Canada Some years afterward Elliott got pack into the ring again with Charlie Gal lagher as his opponent Gallagher only a short time before had beaten Tom Allen. The Elliott Gallagher fight, which | was for 5000 a side, took place in Peach Island, Mich. Elliott whipped Gallagher in 23 rounds of furious fighting. The next real battle of Elliott's career was against the never-to-be forgotten 1 John L. Sullivan. On July 4, 1876, just
 at the time when the mighty Bostonian l was making his first bid for fame and ! fortune, Elliott elected to fight him. The | contest terminated in the third round,
 with Sullivan the winner with a knock
 out punch.
 The last real fight of Elliott's career
 was on May g. 1879, when he battled John
 Dwyer for a 5000 side bet in Long Point,
 Canada. Elliott, old and far removed
 from the physical condition of his earlier l years, was easy prey for Dwyer and l succumbed in the 12th round. All through his career Elliott was un- lucky Nothing ever broke right for | him. Twice victory we'll deserved was
 snatched from him by unfair tactics of spectators and referees. During the
 height of his fighting career he never | could get first-class men to fight with
 him, and, so, all his ring earnings were comparatively small because the small fry would bet only small sums on them selves against Elliott
 The last chapter of Elliott's career was l written in Chicago on March i, 1888, when he was shot and killed by Gere Dunn

DOMESTIC COAL DELIVERIES ARE
 OFF 5000 TONS
Considerable Shortage in Domestic Coal in Birming- ham and Jefferson
 County Reported

Deliveries of domestic coal to consum- CTS in Jefferson county in November az gregated about 5000 tons less than in the month of October, according to reports make to Secretary A. w, Nelson of the county fuel administration. The deliver ies in November totalIed 17,9S2 tons, dis tributed as follows: By retail dealers, 1c 760 tons; by wagon mines, 55S tons; by manufacturers to employees, 103 tons; by carload lots under permits issued by the fuel administration, 560 tons.
 There is a considerable shortage in domestic coal in Birmingham and Jeffer- son county Mir. Nelson stated yesterday, and the present rate of production at the mines in the district will not be suffi- cient to take care of the local situation when real winter weather comes.
 T don't think there will be any suf- fering here this winter on account of the short supply of domestic coal said MT. Nelson, as in an emergency steam coal can be used in it's place. This has been done in the past and though steam coal cannot fully take the place of do- mestic grades, it will answer the pur. pose for a time. The supply of steam coal is ample at present, with no proba bility of shortage.'
 MT. Nelson stated that one dealer 1T Bessemer told him yesterday mornins that he had been able to get only ont , car of domestic coal since the first O the present month but although he hat searched the district over he had failed to secure the promise of any more de 1iveries this month
 During the present week, it is reported Kentucky operators have sold severa cars of domestic coal to Columbus, Ga dealers for immediate delivery. In orde to get this business the Kentucky opera tors made a price 25 cents lower thai that fixed by the government
 As the fuel administration permitted Kentucky and Tennessee coal to b, shipped into Georgia all during the wal period no permits were necessary to tn shipment of the order just accepted

 These physicians recognize that the
 medical society will be the gainer-not

 The most significant fact connected
 with the efforts to get the legislature of 1915 to provide a modern state health system was the entire absence of in- terest by press and people. It was purely a doctors fight as much as if the people had no interest at stake. A more complete demonstration of the atrophy of public interest from disuse could not have been found.
 l To some of the few who for several
 years have struggled to enlist interest | among our people in this important l branch of the public service it was en- ! couraging to read the pfoneesncement of l Commissioner Hornady favoring divorce 1 of health affairs from the medical so- clet1es Of the state and the installa- tion of modern system responsible to | the people. The formation of a pub ] lie health league for the purpose of 1 carrying on a little work among the
 members of the next legislature would almost surely accomplish the purpose with slight effort and expense, The facts are so convincing-the arguments so overwhelming in number and force, that
 only little public interest is needed to hri ri11cr 1fc ha 1arri iclo 1 we not have this cooperative interest | and the resulting benefits?
