COL. BRINDLEY'S WORK
 IN COL. BROOKE'S CASE

Washington, January 2S.-(SpeclalD
 Lieut. Col. A. R. Brindley of Gadsden
 has returned to Washington after hav-
 ing served as judge advocate in the
 prosecution before court martial of
 charges against Col William Brooke
 at Camp Mcclellan. Anniston.
 This case attracted great attention
 in army circles. Colonel Brooke is a
 regular of 27 years service. He is a son of the General Brooke who ac- quired fame at the bloody angle at Spottsylvania- He was charged with having so conducted himself as to pre- iudice the commanding officer of Camp Mcclellan with the people of Anniston and the war department; and of hav- ing broken a promise to refrain from cashing his pay check, advanced be- fore the first of last october. until the arrival of that date.
 On account of the high rank of the defendant there were not sufficient officers of equal or higher rank at Mc- Clellan to form court. Officers from other posts were drafted In this way, Colonel Brindley was designated by the President to prosecute in the name of the government. It is the first case of record wherein an officer of non regular statute was commissioned to prosecute an officer of the regular es- tablishment In the situation was a fine compliment to Colonel Brindley, his 1 friends point out.
 The verdict in the case was arrived | at. but is unknown to anyone save members of the court and Colone| Brindley. Before it's publication it must be indorsed or rejected by the Presl- | dent of the United States.

Washington, January 23.-tSpeclai)
 It appears that a soldier will now take
 rank with a woman and a preacher in
 respect to their immunity from official
 rebuke. Sergt. Francis G. Connolly or
 Massachusetts was seated in the Sem
 ate gallery yesterday. While practical

 indulging a propensity to slumber.
 Connolly remained at feverish atten-
 ton. Some staid senators were discuss

 returned soldiers At climax, Connol-

 by vigorously and boisterously and continuously applauding.
 It was violation of the rules of "the greatest deliberative body in the world" Senator Sausbury, presiding under impression that the disturber uf the peace was an ordinary individual ordered his expulsion from the gal 1ery. Senator Smith of Michigan, sec ing the man a soldier, proceeded in his defense The gentle J. Ham Lewis fol- lowed with suggestions most amiable, and the Senate melted.
 An escort sought the soldier and placed him in the private gallery re- served for senators. There for another hour he sat and he appIauded when ever he pleased. He bore on his cuff two white stripes. indicating a valiant service of 12 months in the quarter masters crops, Washington headquar- ters.

S. s~That Plant Juice, the new herbal Astomach remedy, builds up the entire ksystem and restores it to perfect health,

MUST ORDER NITRATE
 BEFORE SATURDAY
Last Call to Farmers Who Wish to Obtain Fertilizer
 at Cost Is Sent Out

Auburn, January 236(Special. )-Farmers should remember that the date for nak- ing application to the government for urday, January 9.
 Application should be made at once to farm demonstration agents. In the fol- lowing counties in which no agent is on duty in January, application should be made to the chairman of the county nitrate committee, which chairmen are as follows:
 Clay county, Jno. J. Pruett, Ashland.
 Cherokee county, J. T. Lasseter, Cedar Bluff.
 Colbert county, J. F. Mckee, Tus- cumhia-
 Cullman county, Walter Burton. Gull man.
 Etowah county, J. B. wadsworth. Gads- den.
 Fayette county, A. H. Grimsley, Fa- yette.
 Marshall county, J. B. McNaron, Albert ville
 Perry county, T. I. Moore, Marion and Val Tayler, Uniontown. Pike county, T. c. Bassett, Troy. Wilcox county, J. T. Lawler, Camden. The plan of distribution is similar to that of last year, but it is hoped that the nitrate will be distributed much earlier this year. It is also hoped that farmers may be able to obtain the full amount for which they make application. The price is $S1 per ton plus freight from port. As nitrate of soda at this figure is the cheapest source of nitrogen farmers can not afford to miss this opportunity by delaying their application which must be made on prepared blanks now in the l hands of farm demonstration agents chairmen and other members of the ni- trate committee in each county.

LIVING PRICES TO
 GO STILL HIGHER

Washington, January 23.-(SpeciaL) Once every unsavory condition was ascribed to war. It becomes evident however, that war. in many instances was not responsible. It is pertinent, in this connection. to cite the fact that government authorities compute living expenses in the immediate future at 10 per cent increase over identical ex- penSeS in time of war.
 Lieutenant Colonel Adams of the quartermasters corps, in asking for an appropriation with which to maintain soldiers, explained that now and next year 53 cents rather than AS cents per man, per day, would be necessary.
 When the food administration ceases to function and all restrictions are removed" he told Congress prices will go sky high"
 If this prospect materializes, Con- gress will be compelled to vote money to feed folks at home as well as folks in European countries, several mem bers of Congress are inclined to think

Origin of . Famous Hymn

From the PeOple Home Journal.
 The origin of the well known hymn, God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform was a curious incl dent in the life of it's author. William Cowper. the English poet. Cowper a deeply religious man. was subject to at- tacks of the blackest melancholy. During one of these attacks he determined to end his life by throwing himself into the Thames river. He hired a cab to take him to the river, but a dense fog so confused the cabman that, after driving about for an hour. he admitted to his passenger that he was lost. Cowper, alighting from the cab in order to give the driver more careful directions for reaching the bridge. found that his wan derings had brought him back to his own door. Strongly affected by what seemed to him almost divine interpretation, Cowper dismissed the cab. hurried to his room and wrote his famous hymn.

Young First Offenders Ln Jail Are Placed With
 The Hardened Criminals
Appeal Made For Some Method That Will Aid in Recaming Boys Instead of Hardening Them By Their Associations Eight Boys Now
 in Jefferson Jail Are Interviewed
By W, J. BOLES

That there is need of reform in the method of handling boys who are taken m custody for violations of the law will be> evident to anyone who will visit he Jefferson county jail and investigate Tor himself conditions surrounding their confinement. In making this statement ihere is no intention of reflecting upon he sheriff, who is custodian of the jail. and all prisoners confined therein, nor lpon any of his subordinates, or any other officials
 The law officers are compelled to en- force the law as they find it and in doing 50 they can use only the facilities and accommodations furnished them by the state or the county.
 In the Jefferson county jail on Wednes- day, January p, 1919, there were about 3 dozen boys between the ages of 16 and 70, either convicted or awaiting trial, Dn charges ranging all the way fram va grancy to highway robbery and murder. Whether they are guilty of the offenses charged against them is not material to he question that is now being asked of he Alabama legislators, that is, What
  Alabama?"
 The Jefferson county jail, like the jail in every other county of the state, IS equipped and made safe for the keeping of men and women charged with crimes against the law and the peace and dignity of the state. The men and women are kept in separate apartments, but in their confinement there is no distinction made because of age; the hardened criminai and the immature youth are placed and kept in one part of the jail, to mix and mingle at will. the boys to learn Of the older and more experienced the ways of thS criminal.
 Every one of the dozen or more boys between the ages of 16 and 20 in the Jeff ferson county jail has been in hourly contact with the hardest of the hardened criminals confined therein. There is no way of separating them. Whether the boy is a real criminal, with criminal inclinations, or merely unfortunate in being mixed in with others in some es- capade in which no real harm or crime was intended, makes no difference. They are thrown indiscriminately into the game general prison and there kept until tried and, if convicted, in many cases, until the completion of the term of serv- ice
 Eight of these boys were interviewed last Wednesday. Those interviewed were not picked, but came in response to a

EVER SALIVATED BY
 CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is quicksilver and acts like dynamite on your
 liver

Calomel loses you a dayi You know
 what calomel is. It's mercury; quick silver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
 oramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 When you feel bilious, sluggish, con stipated and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for a few cents a large bottle of Dod- sons Liver Tone, which is entirely veg etable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomeL It is guaranteed to start your liver without
 stirring you up inside, and can not salf- vate.
 Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day S
