MAJOR LETTERS WRITES

Anniston. August (Special) Mai. Lamar Jeffers. who has served for the past few months in the sub section of the supplies and equipment, as one of the assistants to the A. F. r. athletic supply officer in Paris, and who re- gently returned to the states, has writ ten very interestingly on the subject of Miss Martha Sproull's activities with the Y. M. c. A. activities in France
 After leaving the hospital. Major Jeffers was assigned to the athletic of ficer's department. and had not been attached to the military police work, as had been reported here.
 Writing of Miss Sproull. Major Jeffers had this to say:
 While in Paris. it has been a great pleasure to be able to see another citi- zen of our home town who has been on duty here. All Anistonians have reason to feel proud of Miss Martha Sproull. As directress of the big 'Y' canteen at the Palais deNGlaee, in Paris, she was in a position of responsibility and one which required lots of real, duties unreservedly, and there arc thousands of American boys who can testify to the efficient service and good "eats' they received at the Palais de Glace. The fact that this canteen was recognized as one of the best if not the best, in the A. F. F, was certain ly due to Miss Sproulrs untiring ,ef- forts and capable management and to the co-eperation with her of her assist ant and staff of Y. M, c. A. girls"
 Major Jeffers landed in the states few days ago,and expects to visit his home here in few days.

NEWS OF ANlVISTON

Pricketts, Williams, and other places now being equipped with the latest patterns of government approved toilets to accomodate at least 1000 Calhoun county school children.
 In addition to the presence of the state sanitary engineer in the city and county six days during the last week, Dr. Cryer has entertained pr. J. A. LaPrince, the famous United States Public Health service mosquito control expert, Dr. Glenn Andrews, the state jail, mill and almshouse inspector and Dr. H. G. Perry, ST., the state re- gistrar of the state board of health, and many items of extreme interest to the people of Calhoun county.
 One of the most interesting features to be embodied in the July report Of the county health officer will be the showing that there is not single case of typhoid fever in the county, inocu- lation having been successful in that part of the county where the prevail ence of this malady had been expected.
 Dr. LaPrince has perhaps the greatest reputation as a sanitary officer in the United States. Next to General Gorgas he is regarded as the most efficient authority on mosquito control in the United States and was associated with General Gorgas in his canal zone ac- complishn1ents a few years ago. pr. LaPrlnce spent couple or dayS III the city and county with Dr. Cryer and left Saturday for the return trip to his headquarters in New Orleans.
 Dr. Glenn Andrews visited the city jail, the county jail, the almshouse at Jacksonville, and every cotton mill in the county during the last week and while his report has not been publish ed it is known that he will rap on sev- eral of the mills, the city jail here, and hoI1 int in his report on the county almshouse.
 Dr. Perry came to Anniston with pr. LaPrince and was the guest of his son, H. Gather Perry, of this city, while in this section He is one of the best known medical figures in the state.
 The accomplishment of the county health officer in securing the establish ment of the rural sanitary measures for the county schools is regarded as one of the most important features of the county health work and Dr. Cryer is much gratified that the liberal support of the state and county has accomplished a needed reform in the schools of the county.
