spirit of the business men of this city, the jewel box of the Muscle Shoals district The Sheffield Muscle Shoals club, although only a few weeks old. has already become so well established that it is exerting a wonderful influence in local affairs and in matters pertain ing to the upbulding and enlargement of Sheffield and the city's environs.
 The Sheffield-Muscle Shoals club was organized to function along various and extended lines, to meet the needs and demands of a hustling and growing mu- nicipality. Its membership is composed of the most progressive business men of the town, woh are wide-awake and working in a united and cooperative fashion to make the name of Greater Sheffield stand out boldly and indisputa- ply as that of the greater city of the Muscle Shoals region. Under these au- spices 1t is meeting with success and it's future attainment promises to be without limit.
 Some of the results of the efforts made by the Sheffield Muscle Shoals club since its organization was perfected some weeks since, may be noted the following:
 By prompt and urgent action good roads movement has been started in Col bert county, which is expected to result in the early completion of a splendid highway from Sheffield and Tuscurn bia to Decatur, and which it is proposed shall be designated as a connecting link of the Muscle Shoals highway between Memphis and Chattanooga. The inter- est of Decatur and Albany and other in- termediate towns has been enlisted in this movement, and Decatur has gone ahead to the extent of incorporating company to finance the building of bridge across the Tennessee river near that city.
 When it was announced a few days since that the Railroad Y. Nj. c. A. at Sheffield would be discontinued by the railroad administration, the matter was brought to the attention of the club and although prompt action was imper- ative, the problem was solved by the club securing and offering a downtown location, on which the main buildings will soon be erected, and thus this splen- did association will continue it's work here
 In matters pertaining to public utfli- ties and the building of new and mod ern union passenger station in Sheffield, the club is playing active part There has been ready response also on tho part of the new organization to give consideration and assist local labor or ganizations to become definitely settled in Sheffield.
 That the city of Sheffield may be kept fully abreast of the developments as well inaugurated in the Muscle Shoals

Muscle Shoals Club Perfects
 Plans For q Big Banquet

concluded a banquet will be given in the evening at the administration building of the Young Mems Christian association and 1t is expected to be one of the most interesting and enjoyable occasions ever staged here. Col. Lytle Brown, recently appointed engineer in charge of building the Muscle Shoals dam, will be the spe- cial guest of the club for the banquet, and because of his long period of serv- fec in France, his address will, of course, be the principal one of the evening. It is planned also to have present the com manding officers from both of the gov ernment nitrate plants
 The purpose of the events to be staged Friday will be to give demonstration of the good fellowship and get-together

On the afternoon of Fri day.

The Real Pole at last.-It took the
Antarctic explorer, Captain Scott, to
prove to us that light, specially made
wind-proof cloth was a better article
of apparel for polar travel than the
familiar furs. Now the Canadian eX-
lplorer, Vilhjalmur Stefansson, startles
the world with some remarkable facts
from his own experience in the polar
seas which will dispel good many
other fond illusions. If we have i'm
plicitly believed that a polar traveller
can be any other than being of hero
ic bravery and superhuman endurance
Stefansson will scarcely have it so.
There seems, in fact-after reading
Stefansson-to be very little call for
these qualities. The cold near the
North pole, he says, is not so great as
that which he has experienced In
Manitoba; indeed, there are colder
spots than the pole. Again, the polar
seas are not continually frozen over,
while the polar lands comprise great
grazing grounds for millions of rein
deer, musk-ox, and caribou! To COM
plete ones very pleasant disillusion-
ment- it only remains for some sue
cessor to Stefansson to tell us that
polar coal fields are adequate to sus-
tain us in fuel for the next million
wears and that the gold and diamond
mines of the polar lands are practi-
callv austible.-Christian Science

the healthiest age is by comparing sta

the healthiest age is by comparing sta
'tistics Of the proportion discharged for
permanent disability. This series of
statistics for one period Of two years
shows that the healthiest age was from
forty to forty-four years. In another
two year period 1t was fifty and over,
and in a flve-year period it was forty
five to forty nine.
A fourth way Of answering the oues-
tion Is to consider the number of con-
stantly non electives. In this class
the healthiest age. in a two-year pe-
riod, was from forty five to forty-nine
years, and in six years from thirty-five
to thirty-nine years.
Army medical statistics show that
admissions to sick report in hospital
or quarters, are most common among
the soldiers under twenty and decrease
steadily and rapidly up to the age of
forty. At that age there Is a decrease
of almost thirds. After pas sing
forty-five years the list increases, but
soldiers even at ages over fifty are ad-
mitted to sick report only half as often
as their youngest comrades.
AS this Is contrary to the condi-
tions in civil life where sickness in
increases with years, the army medicos
proceed to give an explanation. 1t is
this: Men who for years have been
under army discipline acquire ability
to care for themselves, and also ac-
quire habits diminishing their risk of
sickness. which together, more than
neutralize the tendency to an increase
of invalidity with age-The Come

The Rights of Small Nations.-Can-
ada,s Indian wards. the modern rem
nant OF the ancient Six Nations now
living on a reservation in the Province
Of Ontario, are disturbed by the pro-
posal of the Indian department to tax
their dogs. Indians like dogs, and,
other things being equal, an Indian
village has always apparently been
happier the more dogs it has possess
ed. The government intention of tax
ing this form of live stock is, therefore,
stirring protest; in fact, the Indians
will probably take the matter to the
courts and argue that the proposed
tax is an assumption by the Dominion
authorities of a right that they do
not possess. Possibly, too, the Indians
will carry their point, for they will at
least be able to claim that, under an
existing treaty with the Dominion, they
stand in the relation of "allies" to the
Canadian government, and that one
ally cannot levy tax on another ally's
dogs. In view Of the present world
agreement that the small nations
should be fairly treated by the big
ones, the argument. ought to have a
respectful hearing.-Christian Science

crowds followed the aeroplanes along

as they walked along, and watching
with great interest the manoeuvrinss
of the strange birds.
One evening the Taube renamed

time. It was past seven o'clock, and

Suddenly a street boy, tired OF walt

taken sick Sunday evening, April u.
and eleven days later breathed his
last, surrounded by his stricken fam
lily. Every air and comfort that med
ical skill could employ and that kind
ministering hands could offer were
given. His death was due to COM
plication of diseases, resulting from a
protracted attack Of Spanish Influenza
which visited him early last December
and which held him in it's clutches for
a little more than two months. This
dreaded disease left him sorely weak
ened, and when he was taken sick a

sity. He was admitted to the practice

ffty-seventh congress and for 16 years
in sequence he ably, faithfully and
conscientiously represented the fourth
South Carolina district in the national
house of representatives. He was

of South Carolina was created and he
was chosen the judge of that district,
having the endorsement of the entire
South Carolina delegation in Washing

I often in conversation thought he had

word also supplies simile as If OF the
