BELGIAN BELLS ARE SAFE
Huns Lacked Time to Destroy the
Worid-Famous Carlllons Of
Mechlin and Bruqes.

Lovers Of bell music will be glad
TO hear that the famous carillOns at
Mechlin and Bruges were not destroyed
by the Germans. says the Living
Age. They were actually marked for
destruction-to supply the boche with
materials for making munitions-but
the German army had become salt
ed slug" to use a soldiers picturesque
similitude, before the act of vandalism
could be carried GU.
Joseph Denyn has actually been
playing on his beloved Hemony bells.
and one can imagine the delight with
which the people of Mechlin once more
hear the greatest of carilloneurs dis
play his enraptured virtuosity in a
clear sky. You get a wonderful and
unwonted view from st. Rombold's
stupendous tower in these days OF a
still imperfect peace. for the tall Chin
neys Of the Belgian factories are now
smokcless and the air is so clear that
you can surmise, even II your eye can
not reach. the edged glimmer OF the
sea on the far blue horizon.
But Belgium has no love for idleness.
and everybody will be glad when the
dark, fantastical smoke blossoms are
seen once more on their straight stalks
to sway and fluctuate to the far
flung music Of the historic bells cast
In bygone century by the StrAnva-
RUS OF bell founders.

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain 5itro-Phosphate
TO Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people heshy, developing arms. neck
and bust. and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty. there are evidently thousands
OF men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinneSS.
Thinness and weakness often due
to starved nerves Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gtsts as bitro-phosphate. which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money

by supplying the body cells with the nee

VT q ~ Increasing Alabama's Flour Industry

ZINE of the noteworthy features of " progressive farming in Ala bama is the increase in acreage planted to wheat. This years wheat crop totaled about 1850 ,O00 bushels a large gain over the previous year.
 One of the concrete examples of what is being done in developing the flour industry has just been reported by The Age-Herald's Cullman corre- spondent. Until few years ago "the raising of ones own flour in Cullman county was an almost unheard of thing" but now that the farmers have taken to wheat growing the situation has changed in substantial degree The flour mill at Cullman ground seven thousand bushels of wheat last year and has already ground six thou sand bushels this season. Last years output, the correspondent tells us, amounted to fourteen hundred bar rels of high-grade flour.
 AS this years crop of wheat is Gull man county is most promising the milling industry will doubtless show an appreciable increase, but the time should soon come when all the flour 1 used there will be from homegrown grain.
 Between two thousand and two thou
 sand five hundred barrels of flour are
 still shipped into Cullman every month, making something like thirty
 thousand barrels a year. The amount
 of money expended for this one article
 of food, says the correspondent, would equal the value of one-fourth of the
 cotton crop of the county.
 The economic advantage of local
 wheat growing is too obvious to need
 discussion. Alabama should produce
 not less than five million bushels of
 wheat year. There should be mill
 in every wheat-growing section of the
 state, and in the years to come Ala
 bama should not only provide all the
 bread it consumes, but have flour to
 ship to the outside world. It will pay
 well.
