Men Wounded in
 Battle Soon Cured

M s appalling as war is, the death GA list has been greatly minimized by improved sanitation in training camps and the advance in the science of surgery as applied to the wounded in battle.
 The losses in the American army would have been far greater than has been the case had it not been for the remedial agencies devised and made effective by Surgeon General W. c. Gorgas. His work in war is proving as constructive as his work in the Panama zone, which rendered the building of the canal possible.
 The health of the soldier is main tained at high standard and the re- markable statement is officially made that 80 per cent of the mer wounded on the fighting fronts of France and Flanders, who originally remained at military hospitals for months, are now cured and returned to the firing line in three or four weeks"
 In order that army surgeons in the United States may thoroughly under stand the latest treatment of war wounds, the medical department has established special classes of instruc- tion to which selected officers are sent. These surgeons will return to their own hospitals for the purpose of instructing other surgeons.
 The fact that General Gorgas keeps in close communication with the hos pitals and trenches in France and personally directs all the work per taining to the health of the army is in itself enough to brace the morale and raise it to height never before realized.

 Montgomery and Tuscaloosa have bis men in Congress. Dent is chairman of the committee on military affairs and Oliver is one of the leaders of the com mittee on naval affairs. Both are big men, doing a big work for their country. Our military and naval leaders look upon them not only as full of patriotism, but of activity. They are the congressional mainstays of the administration in the House. Underwood ande Bankhead in the Senate rank second to none in that body. And indeed in the House Alabama has

He is looked upon as a misrepresentative-A man of one class arrayed against an- other, who is not with his people in this war-who has represented his own views in Washington rather than those of his people-who has no conception of team work.
 It is, indeed, to be hoped that the Jef- ferson county people can unite upon a good man who will represent the patriot ism of this great county. and especially those of us who have sons and near rela- tives on the firing line. No man repre- scented in the army or navy whether he be miner or manufacturer, carpenter OF contractor. farmer or fireman. wants to continue in Congress a man even sus- pected of not being fully with his people in all forms of work believed necessary to win this war.

 Lectures and demonstrations will be given along poultry lines. The making or preserves and jellies, drying fruits and vegetables, canning in tin and glass, also the preparation of meat substitutes-such as bean loaf, peanut and cottage cheese dishes, will be demonstrated, I think this is getting down to real business and the beauty of it is that it is free to all who care to attend.
