These great facts of religion,
we have said is everlasting and

They are not the property of

Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland, O., Septembed 25.-(Spe- cial )-The Iro nTrade Review today says:
 l Labor, price and production develop ments of singular importance nave marked a momentous week for the iron and steel industry, chief among these being the far-reached effects of the announcement of the eight-hour da yfor it's plants. In the expectation thar this established precedent for the whole iron and steel industry, the consequences promise to be extensive. As a dage advance the overtime fea- ture will amount to approximately 10 per cent for a 10-hour day. The work men have always favored 10 or 12- hour day and may be expected to continue to do so under the new sys- tenn. This reduces the possibility of the need of any considerable additions to the labor supply. More systematic and determined effort is being made by the government to overcome the factors which have beene restricting production of iron and steel. It is hoped to effect close working CO., operation between the producers and all government agencies dealing with elements of production, which will solve many of the present operating difficulties. Particular attention is being given to pir iron, where the effort is being centered on the raising of the production of the country to 42,000,000 tons annually. This is 4,00O,- 900 in excess of the present rate of output. Some merchants furnaces es- timate that the addition to production costs in their case from the eight-hour day will amount to $1. 50 per ton. For this reason the advance on pig iron granted by the government for the fina! quarter of the year will come at an opportune time. This advance rep reserts s1 in addition to the base prlce on Noe. ? foundry and basic iron. The establishment of basing points in pig iron at Pittsburg and Birmingham for certain producing districts allows the favored furnaces substantial additions to the $1 general advance.

Boston, September 25.-Alarmed by the rapidly mounting death toll in New Eng land from Spanish influenza. Massachu- setts, the center of the epidemic in the east, today began concerted effort to stamp out the disease. The executive council is in special session. and has set aside d fund of $1oO,000, and Acting Governor Coolidge immediately created the emergency public health committee.
 The first step taken by this commit tee was to call on the American Red Cross at Washington for physicians ana nurses to take the places of those who have died or who have become exhausted by their arduous work. The committee then sent out statewide request TOT the temporary closing of all theatres, motion picture houses and other places of public gathering, except churches.
 It was estimated today that there were between 50,OOO and 75,00o cases of influ- enza and pneumonia in New England There have been more than 1000 deaths in the New England states in 10 days

CHAIRMAN MOORE ISSUES ADDRESS
 ID LOAN WORKERS
People at Home Have Duty to Perform in Backing Up Boys in the
 Trenches

J. D. Moore, chairman of the Liberty Loan committee for the Birmingham zone of 10 counties, has issued the for lowing address to workers in the zone:
 The fourth Liberty Loan is at hand Every man, woman and child is deeply Interested in it's success. Should we start a world wide search for the per son not affected by this war, we would not know which way to turn or where to go. f the world is ever to have peace again, the Hun must be licked and the allies dictate to them the kind of peace Ahey can have.
 We are all soldiers in this struggle Our strong young men have gone from our homes here in Alabama while we are left behind to find the means to keen them going until they shall be enabled to force lasting peace. We want nc such peace as the Kaiser and his hired boisheyik have made for Russia, where they are starving while they murder the people who are not obedient to the wishes of the despised Huns. We are in this fight to win, even if it takes all the money and all the brave men of this generation. We are not willing that We and our children shall ever be sub. jected to such slavery and outrages as practiced by the. Huns.
 We here at home have duty to per- form just as surely as the boys in France. They stand in the front line trenches and offer their lives, and we are left at home to supply the means, cl1cb cIo all that an army needs Shall we not divide all our service and our means and assure them that while they hold out at the front we will hold out here at home? They are making glorious history for our great country. We should all be proud we are Americans and of the record they are making. General Pershing recently said to one of our own Alabama congressman while at the front in France that no better soldiers ever fought than the Aiabamians. We can support them by buying fourth Lib erty Bonds. and we should deny our selves to buy as many as we can.
 These bonds are the best security in the world, and every one we have will come in handy when this terrible strug- gle is over Therefore let every work CT for this loan buy all the bonds they can and persuade their friends to also buy all they can. It behooves us all to exert ourselves to make this loan a great success. Nothing will so discour- age our enemies as to see our people standing solidly behind our great gov ernment which God has been preparing for these times He has made our peo- pie prosperous and prepared them for this work. and let us fulfill the grand destiny for which we have been called. We want to free the oppressed and dis tressed people throughout the world and
