FOR SUCCESS

The housewife big job is to give to the world cheer-radiating, quick minded and nimble bodied men and women. This does not mean only that her oNn children shall have these qualities. It means very often that she must overcome grouchy habits in herself, husband, or any of her 'in-laws' who happen to be living with her.
 All the arduous details of keeping the house clean, the linen fresh and meals correct show worthy results only in cheerful healthy family. If your fam fly is otherwise you are committing un- measurable waste somewhere in your scheme of management.
 Cheerfulness and efficiency are general ly recognized as two of the most impor- tant things in life. We put cheerfulness first because it generally leads to the lat ter. The two combined spell success.
 Food plays the most important part in making successful human beings. Prop erly combined foods, correctly cooked, served attractively in the right amounts, make forceful, happy beings, who are able to create and lead.
 Do you send your workers out into the world each morning in cheerful mood prominent writer says, Corporations refuse to elect crotchety executives, man.

Locke of Birmingham, chan celior of the tenth judicial circuit notified the Alabama memorial com mission today that they will give their full support to the state drive for $500 GOO with which to erect the Ala bama memorial to the soldiers, sailors and marines They declared that Ala bama could not fail to subscribe the fund which will honor the states rep resentatives for all time.
 q am very much interested in sec- ing statewide drive for a memor! al fund to commemorate the deeds, valor and sacrifices of the states repre-. sentative in the great world war. wrote Congressman Blackmon from Washington. "Alabamians all feel justly proud of the splendid record that was made by them. It was never doubted but that all true Alabamians would make a splendid record on the battlefield in defense of this great re- public"
 Judge Locke commended the legisla- ture and memorial commission for providing for the form of memorial Every great race has honored It's heroes" he said No people would long survive and prosper who do not do so The soldiers of the recent world war certainly met every test of heroism Their deeds in the air, upon land and in the water have excelled the heroes of the days when knight hood was in flower To the glory of the battles of Saratoga, New Orleans and Manila Bay has been added the greater glory of the battles of Cha -Thierry, St Mihiel, Argonne For est, Cantigny. To old Glory has been added Q new glory.
 q most heartily approve the plan of our legislature in the erection of a building for the commemoration of our heroes. It is so much more suite to a proper commemoration of deeds of valor than a mere monument. We need some place where we can keen a permanent record of the deeds ot valor and keep ever before the men of future generations the souvenirs and other evidence of the heroism of this generationn
