MARCH z, IA AND 21 NAMED AS GARDEN DAYS BY GOVERNOR

Governor Charles Henderson has is- sued proclamation requesting the citizens of Alabama to grow their own food crops in 1918 and increase the food production, thus feeding ourselves and contributing to the needs of others.
 The proclamation in part is as fol- lows:
 "The demands upon us are inereas- ing as our armies grow and the fail- ure of any large section to produce an equal quantity of what was gro VII in 1917 may produce disaster--it may bring want and deprivation to our own country. Therefore, it behooves us to guard against such results. This can only be done by adopting the safeguard of growing ample food crops. It is not expected that we should abandon cot, ton altogether, but the growing of this staple should be treated as one of the incidents of agriculture.

Lyric

While all the acts presented at the Lyric to capacity audiences Monday evening are excellent, there are two entertainers who stand out as par ex- cellent. They are Imhof of the trio oe Imhof, Conn and Coreene, and Claire Rochester, soprano-b baritone, and one of the marvels of the music world. Both of these entertainers arc as clever as any who come this way ard they were showered with applause. Imhof, Conn and Coreene present a House." the name being derived from the character of human pests that in- feet a waySide inn. The comedy in this act is continuous and the au- dience is tittering or laughing aloud all the time. The entire trio are clever but the act is built around Im- hof, and he proves a riot of fun. Co., reene in the dual role of the landlady's $ daughter and the nurse is very clever, ana Conn as the deaf porter proves himself an able funmaker. Claire Rochester, to use a popular phrase, nearly stopped the show. She rendered various pleasing selections singing some in soprano and others in bari tone, and her triumph was complete. She was big favorite of the bill and after responding to many encores she asked the audience what they wanted her to do and the response came: Sing and sing more"
 The bill opens with a whirlwind tumbling act by the Rubio troupe, and the action is so fast in this number that the audience is fairly swept away.

PUBLIC MUST AID IN CHECKING DISEASE,
 SAYS DR. BOWLING
Number of Malignant Cases of Smallpox Reported. Dr. Bowling Views Sit
 uatiOn With Alarm

That the smallpox situ.. is ex- tremely alarming is the opinion ex- pressed by pr. J. D. Bowling yester- day. He advises the greatest precau- tion against it's spread in the commit nifty and will have the closest attan- tion paid to the 12S cases now under treatment at the pesthouses of the county.
 In expressing his anxiety over the situation Dr. Bowling indicated that it was not improbable that small rox of an unusual malignant type is putting in it's appearance in Jefferson county and that, unless some of the cases already under treatment receive the most careful attention, it is feared some will prove fatal.
 According to the pesthouse reports, more patients are there than ever since the epidemic of this disease began, and 16 new cases were sent out yes- terday. five others being isolated i1 their homes.
 The only hope to remedy the situ- the disease is to have those unvac- cinated persons vaccinated, in the opinion of Dr. Bowling, and he urges that the public cooperate more fully and enthusiastically with the health department in protecting the public through vaccination.
 If we could have more solid re- sponse from the public at large our work would be much more effective in checking this spread of smallpox said Dr. Bowling. While the situa- ton is already ex tremely serious the chances are that it will become worse unless we have the immediate and uni ted support of the people,"

Therefore, cur people who are not identified with the agricultural interests should follow the practice largely pursued last year of cultivating garden spots so as to provide as near as possible for their own needs.
 In order to give emphasis to this feature of our food products, I am naming three days, March ', 14 and 21, as garden days in Alabama. The first is applicable to the southern half of Alabama, which is embraced in that part of a line drawn east and west from the northern boundary of Mont gomery county.
