JACKSON AS A PATRIOT

Look at the man as patriot. By word, deed and purse MT. Jackson has been an uncom- promising supporter of President Wilson. He be- lieves this war is righteous war and should be carried on with all the resources of the nation and the individual at it's command, until de- cisive peace rests on the side of the allies. He does not believe in half-hearted measures; he has no patience with slackers. He has devoted much of his time to war activities.
 While the present incumbent in Congress was negative, not to say actually hostile to the third Liberty Loan, in the hour of the governments greatest financial need MT. Jackson laid his personal affairs aside and accepted the chair manship of the Liberty Loan drive in 10 coun- ties of which Jefferson is the center. In all the counties under his supervision the allotments were oversubscribed and in some counties four and five times over. Jefferson led these coun- ties and the zone stood in the forefront of the Sixth federal reserve district. If patriotism is the mark of the man in this crucial period of the nations history and the world sand Jeffer- son county has said so in thunder tones-then JACKSON IS THE MAN.

JACKSON WILL BE ELECTED

We said Mir. Jackson has grown in strength from the inception of his candidacy. These are some of the reasons why.voters of all classes are rallying to his standard and will continue to do inincreasing numbers until the count of the ballots in August will say to a district which is ashamed of its present misrepresentation in Congress. JACKSON IS THE MAN

y M NER. JACKSON did not become candidate IN to gratify personal ambition. After AvA consultation with friends and calm de- liberation with himself, he reached the decision that it was his duty to submit himself to the voters of this district, regardless of the personal sacrifice involved. All who know Mr. Jackson need not be told that when he has reached de- cison it stands. No matter how many candi- dates there may be, now or hereafter, MT. Jack son is in the race to stay and to win.
 In the quiet period to which we have referred, he has steadily gained in strength, and he will continue to gain, as his claims for the place are contrasted with those of the other aspirants It is Jackson against the field-and JACKSON IS THE MAN.
 All we ask intelligent voters to do is to look at the man after considering what is demanded of the representative of this district in Congress Their answer will be Jackson-it cannot be otherwise

JACKSON AND LABOR

Take look at him from the labor standpoint. As manager of mines and subsequently, an operator on his own account MT. Jackson was large employer of labor. All differences be- tween the companies he represented and the men in his employ were adjusted on the basis of WHAT IS RIGHT. He won their confidence by his fair-mindedness and still possesses it. When he became manufacturer he made his plant thoroughly sanitary, place where sun light and air are welcome, and he put his en- ployes upon profit-sharing basis. Judged by his acts, MT. Jackson is consistent and de- pendable friend of labor. We feel safe in say ing that every man who has been or is now in his employment will vote for him.
 Look at the man from the viewpoint of the farmer. MT. Jackson began life on the farm and worked in the field. He has never forgot ten his first love. He is today the owner of large and successfully operated farm. He understands the farmer and his needs.

Business men, take look at the man. Your infallible rule is RESULTS. MT. Jackson has been successful in all he has undertaken-as mine operator, as manufacturer, in the finan- cial world. This means executive and admin istrative ability of high order. There are 10 lawyer. from Alabama in Congress today. Should not our delegation include at least one business man, and should he not come from the greatest business center of the state J efferson county? You say yes and the public agrees with you.

LOOK AT THE COUNTY

Jefferson county, or the Ninth congressional district, is the gre atest industrial center of the south It is vast hive of labor In Bessemer and Birmingham it has two cities of prime com mercial importance The county also has a large agricultural population. And, finally, Jefferson county enjoys he well-earned repu- tation of being one of the most patriotic sec tions of this country-one that is standing like stone wall behind the President and the war policies of his administration
 In other we .ds Jefferson county is one of the most complex Congressional districts in the United States-the interests are more varied, and each is of sufficient importance to demand representation-non can be neglected without detriment to the whole, especially in time when harmony and unity are paramount consid- erations.
 LOOK AT THE MAN
 Now, lock at the man and see how admirably Mr. Jackson pc ssesses the qualifications neces- sary in a representative of ALL THE PEOPLE. In the first place. he knows the county knows the resources and 'ts people, not theoret- ically, but by experience and contact. He has lived in the county for years and his life has al- ways been open book

Dear Miss Grey: While en-
route to the coast I met a very
we'll educated woman. During
our conversation she expressed
an opinion which quite startled
me.
When ! said I had a great
many friends among the soldiers
she seemed very much surpris-

my mother and father had en-
tertained them in our home

This woman was shocked to
think that / had been seen ON
the street with boy in uniform
of the United States army. She
said that no nice girl would be
seen in such company, so she
had always supposed.
I wonder II other people are
of the same opinion and IL I
have been unwittingly defying
convention?
!. Still, I see no reason why q
boy whom one has known for
years, should be ostracized be-
cause he answers the call of
duty or a perfectly self-respect-
ing girl should be afraid or
timid about appearing with a
soldier at the theater. Why do
you suppose this woman has
such erroneous ideas about our
brothers and sweethearts in the
olive drab?

"Carry On

Maj. Ian Hay Beth made an apt statement in
his Saturday night lecture here when he said that
'poson gas' was the greatest menace facing the
allied peoples.
He did not refer to the poison gas of the
trenches. British and french and American SOL
diers not the least bit awed or terrified by that
German frightfuhess.
He referred to the insidious poison gas that is
spread among the civilians, and especially that
often recurring kind embraced in a demand for an
immediate peace.
Only the weak, the timid the craven, the mis-
guided, those without the ability to think straight,
he showed, would consider granting the Prus-
SLAMS the easy and early peace they so much crave.
The agitation for it is merely poison gas.
The men in the trenches are for no such peace.
Their motto is Garry On,' and carry on we must.
Tt is well that we have an occasional soldier from
the thick of the battle come to tell us Of the sanch
heartedness of the fighters; the more to shame
stay-at- home weaklings.

Surprising the allies win Knockout victory
and they will-what is your proposal to do with
the kaser3
At our house the subject has reached almost the
dignity of controversy. Our wife is for inflict-
ing terrible physical punishment so terrible that
she won't even confide all the Details for fear she
would shock us too utterly. We can only guess
vaguely at some combination of burning in oil and
guillotining. Maybe it's worse than that.
Our theory, on the other hand, is that every
means ought to be employed Wilhelm should
live long as possible. We'd establish him on
some lonely st. Helena where he should pass the
rest of his days with plenty of leisure for review
ing the past and for reading all the current ltera
ture
We'd want his surroundings made thoroly SAM
tary and salubrious in order that his span of years
might stretch out abnormally long.
That's our idea of the one fitting punishment for
Kaiser Wilhelm We can conceive of nothing more
terrible than the mere memory of his own deeds
What's your plana Write us letter about it.

German Measles

The real name of German measles is Rubela and
1t occasionally becomes epidemic as the virus of
the disease is easily spread and is infectve for
adults as well as children.
The incubation period is between two and three
weeks On the first or second day of illness, which
is manifested by slight temperature and sore
throat, there appears the throat rose-red erup
ton somewhat resembling that Of measales, but
the color is much brighter
The rash quickly invades the face and spreads
to the chest and the whole body within few hours,
where it appears round oval spots.
The duration of the rash is usually evident for
two three days and is followed by slight branny
scaling.
In, slight cases the rash may resemble somewhat
the scattered pin point flush of scarlet fever.
