delighted, especially when familiar
strains came out to them; and two
French Military Matches 'Marche Lor-

 The immense expense of caring for the children" Mrs. Johnson said, during the influenza epidemic, is trying us severely; three rints of milk are required for each baby daily Milk is frightfully expensive, as We all know; eggs, another very ex- pensive commodity, are used for the chill drcn; gelatin, cereals and other eXpen- sive foods-in fact the .most expensive foods are required in the treatment and up to the present time we have been able to supply the demand On the other hand the increased number of garments worn by the children, the sheets towels, and bed linen, has all been increased and the home service department of the Red Cross has been most generous in 'ng gowns and towels to us Indeed, 1t looks as if Providence has held us in the hollow of his hand and provided us with the necessary things during this dreadful time of anxiety and suffering
 When it ic realized that the childrens hospital is n:aintained entirely through tue generosity of the public" Mrs. John- son said, 'it takes on a new meaning, for then it makes every single one of us responsible for it's maintenance; it makes us assume personal obligation towards keeping the children's hospital in good order and working successfully
 "One thing that I would suggest" Mrs. Johnson said, 'is this: the children after they have had influenza of course cannot be sent back to their homes-many of them--ir deed most of them who come to us cone from homes unable to provide anything at ell for them. for they must have proper food and clothing in order to recover tkeir strength; child suf- foring from influenza is a ready victim of tuberculosis and for this reason they must have nourlshng food and warm clothing. so if any of the friends of the chiidren's hospital have anything in the way of childrens underwear or top ning-anything-we will be glad to have it as the convalescent children must live out of doors practically and must

Cleveland. O., October 17.-(Special) The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Attuned to President Wilson's demand for peace based on a complete military decision, production of iron and steel for war requirements is going forward at top speed. The output of the mills and furnaces now moro clearly re- fleets the intensive efforts put forth by the government and manufa cturer to surmount the obstacles that had been holding it back. October bids fair to uphold it's traditional position as the years banner month for operating re- suits; blast furnaces are running at a pace which, if sustained, will give the present month the largest tonnage of pig iron in the history of the country. Steel works likewise have q good chance to,establish new high record.
 September's ingot statistics just put out show a rate of production equiva- = lent to 4,500,000 tons annually. The daily average sof the September output was tke best since October, 1917. The performances of the finishing mills are equally good. Coke still supplies the

 New York, october 17.-(Special )-Sew ard Prosser president of the Bankers Trust company, but occupied now fol many days with Liberty Loan campaign ing. and especially with solicitations oi people who have great wealth and ol corporations which are known to pt flourishing, stated day or two aga that perhaps the chief reason why thi subscriptions to the Fourth Liberty Loan in the New York district have Jagged alarmingly was to be found in the pro- crastination which has characterized many who contemplate subscribing but who decided to wait until the last mo- ment.
 Procrastination may explain the unex- pected slowness of the New York dis trict to meet it's allotted subscription ot S1, 800, 100000 in round numbers. but that is by no means the only reason. At least three other influences caused some part of the delay and two of these were due to misunderstanding on the part of thou sands of plain people respecting the terms upon which they could borrow money at the banks with which to pay in- stallments upon their bond purchases. Many persons who subscribed for bonds in small denomination ana some Who made heavier subscriptions upon the in stallment plan when the Third Liberty Loan was offered, have not yet been abls to pay all of their installments. They did not see their way clear to buy new bonds while they are still in debt TOT those bought last spring. Almost all oi those who have been in this way em- barrassed were purchasers of bonds ol small denominations, $50 and slo0 in mos! cases. While the aggregate amount oi these purchases was not very iarse' in comparison with the total offerins oi s4 oOO. .O00, 900, nevertheless, the numper ol

N. Alabama Conference Date Changed to Nov. 13

The North Alabama Methodist conference will not be held nt AL bany on October 30, as previously announced, but will convene on November 13, according to an an- nouncement made by Bishop James C. Atkins, who will preside nt the conference, according to n wire re- ceived by Dr. l.. c. BranscOm5' editor of the Alabama Christian Advocate, yesterday.
 Bishap Atkins takes the posi- ton that the influenza epidemic is SO serious that it would be ill., advised to hold the conference on the date named, and it is possible that it may be held even later than November 13, if the situation does not improve.
 This will necessarily delay the appointments of preachers for the coming year, and churches and ministers will be held in the dark two weeks longer than is custom ary, as to their assignments.
