HOW TO PREVENT
SPANISH INFLUENZA

During the epidemic Of so-called
Spanish influenza, which ended so
recently as March of this year,
there were in the United States
alone, 100000 deaths from that
cause. There were also approx
mately 100000 Of people who lost
their lives during the epidemic
throughout the entire world.
Science has no way of determin-
ing whether or not there will be a
recurrence in epidemic form of this
disease during the present fall and
coming winter. The history Of the
habit of epidemics Of this disease
during former times justifes the
suggestion that it may recur.
Precaution is therefore necessary.
The Prairie Life Insurance Com
pany is always DESTROYS of being
mindful of the interests of its poll
cy holders, and therefore submits
for your careful consideration, a
few suggestions which may be of
value to you in the prevention OF

 STEAGALL URGES SUPPORT
 State headquarters received a let ter from Congressman Henry B. Steagall Thursday urging all persons to give full support to the campaign and promising to come to Alabama to spend a few days if possible in order that he might have a personal part in the campaign
 Every loyal citizen of sthe republic, whether in office or not, deserves full. credit for his part in upholding the honor of the country" said Congress- man Steagall. But we must not for get that the service and sacrifice of the boys in the camps and at the front were the controlling factors in forcing the surrender of Germany and rescuing civilization of the world from destruc- tion. They displayed heroism and cour- age unparalleled in all the history of the world. On foreign soil. with three thousand miles of ocean stretching be- tween them and their homes and iresides, they faced death without fear or flinching in defense of humanity and civilization. Their achievements con stitute the most marvellous page that has been written in all the records of time.
 Every citizen of Alabama should feel proud of the opportunity to pay humble tribute and do his part in per petuating the memory of our illustrious sons."

COLUMBUS, MISS.

Columbus, Miss, June 2e.-(Special) The Columbus Railway. Light and Power company has presented to the local mu- nicpal council for consideration a plan for complete change in the routing of it's trolley cars, and if the plan is ap proved by that body cars will center al the corner of Main and Seventh streets instead of at the intersection of Main and Market, as they have done practi- cally ever since the street railway was constructed, 13 years ago. The new plan contemplates the elimination of all lines in the business district except the one uhich traverses Main street, and this line would stop at Third street instead of continuing to the Mobile and Ohio depot via College and South Seventh streets. The military road line would be changed so as to run south from the stephen D.. Lee High school on North Seventh street and connect with the main line at the point where that thorough fare intersects Main street. This would mean the complete elimination of street car service on College street from Sew enth to Third; on Third street, from College to Main; on North Third avenue and Market street. from the stephen D. Lee High school to the point where Main and Market streets intersect, and on Market street from Main to College. The company claims several advantages for the proposed plan, principal among them being that it's adoption would eliminate the line which runs on North Third ave- nue in front of Franklin academy. The thoroughfare is narrow at that point and several school children have met with serious accidents while attempting to cross the track. The council has not yet considered the plan, but it is understood that members of the body are inclined to regard the proposed changes with favor.
