Overlooked Men
The Strenuous Life We Are Living
Uses Up Our Vital Forces Faster
Than Nature Can Replace Them.

To overdo anything is harmful and
continuation of it will wear out the
strongest man. Overwork, worry,
brain tire, high living, dissipation and
other such habits waste away the most
vital elements of the blood, brain and
nerves. then disease sets in. At first
there will be a general indisposition,
poor appetite, indigestion, severe head
ache, wakefulness and weakness in the
back, the temper irritable, the spirits
depressed, the memory poor and the
mind weakened, ending in premature
decline. DIR. Chase Blood and Nerve

Tie Mohe14' ActIr

This is the hour of the mothers Drawn,
Mangled and shackled by dread and fear
Down torture's highway this grim red year,
For them, at last, the soul kissed dawn!
For them the sight of the son they bore!
The touch of his flesh, the old sweet sound
OF the voice whose echo so often tore
Through memorys chamber where griefs abound!
This is the hour of the mothers! They
Whose dear ones sleep in their heart of hearts
Folded from harm, from the burning smarts
Of the unkind word, made great by way
OF the death they died; these mothers too,
Speak of Gods mercy. His hand is laid
On the pulsing heart that the knife cut through.
His healing Touch leaves them unafraid!
This is the hour of the mothers! We
The sonless ones deprived the JOY
OF welcoming home own dear boy
Yet wearing the of maternity;
BY being women, understand
AS can. God willed it so
That the breadth of our great land
The mother heart should throb and glow

WHEELS ON LIBERTY BELL

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The Liberty Bell is to be on wheels.
Plans have been prepared and pre-
posals will be opened by Director
Datesman on Tuesday next, for new
base and truck to be constructed for
the Liberty Bell, which will be placed
in the rotunda of Independence Hall.
The new truck was designed by Joseph
A. Rolette, acting architect. and. when
constructed. will permit of the old relic
being easily removed, an advantage
which would be especially important in
case a fire broke out in Independence
Hail. The truck whiun now holds the
bell is rather antiquated and is so built
that it can be run in only one direction
and cannot be turned to either side
quickly. This will not be so with thu
new truck. which will be equipped with
ball bearing wheels. The top and siIes
of the new truck are to be of selected
birch and are to have a cherry dull
piano finish.
The matter of new truck and base
for the sacred relic has been under the
considerable of Wilfred Jordan, cur
ator of Independence Hall, and Chief
Arthur, of the bureau of city property,
for some time. They took UP the matter
with the acting city architect about 10
days ago and the proposed new base
and truck are the result.

From the Johnstown Democrat,
TN 1912 Oscar Underwood of Alabama
was a strong claimant for the demo-
q cratic nomination at Baltimore. MS
chief handicap was the support or the
Ryans, Sullivans and other reaction
aries who found themselves without
much standing in that crushing con-
vention which nominated Woodrow
Wilson in the face of the majority
earlier given to Champ Clark
1t is a question whether Mr.. Uncer-
woods removal to the senate mas
weakened him is presidential pos
sibility. His long leadership in the
house increased his prestige. Had he
remained in that body it is likely that
he would today be considered among
the foremost in connection with next
wears nomination. In the senate ne
has found much smaller chance 70

upon the country than he had while he
was the accredited leader of the ma

would not yield to every current which
he might encounter, nor would ne

/ 1t is now all but certain that Pres

the condition of his health from con-
sideration as a third-term candidate
He could not afford to make a cam

Monument to Field
After Many Years

WlNb HEN Eugene Field died, Novem-

rial fund was started in Chicago. Lit
tie was accomplished. Interest lapsed
until 1913" says the Chicago Herald
and Examiner, "when renewed efforts
were made to increase the fund"
The sum of $4,000 is now available
and it will be used to erect a monu-
ment to the poet near the children's
playground in Lincoln park
Eugene Field is called the "chil-
dren's poet" but his verses appeal to
grown people as well. He ranks with
James Whitcomb Riley in popularity,
yet in the city where he was idolized
during his lifetime, it took nearly a
quarter of a century to raise a paltry
$4,000 to do him honor, despite tie
fact that there must be many Chi
|cagoans, newspaper men and others,
who were personally acquainted with
Field and remember his lovable quail
ties as well as his many escapades.
Humor and sentiment Field had in
abundance, as Riley had, and the gift
lof expression. His "Sharps and
Flats" was one of the earliest and one
of the best of the daily editorial page
Columns. Verify, Americans are
slow to honor their poets. Had the
author of "Little Boy Blue" and many
another charming poem of childhood
| lived in Europe he might not have had
to wait so long for modest memorial

came famous, and where he was

Disturbing fACIORS.
There's so much turmoil and unrest,

He can't attend girly show
And keep his mind on lovely curves.

There's little solace in a pipe;
How can one puff in calm content
When told revolutions ripe?
What pleasure reading in a book?
Who's in mood to mediate
When reds shout, Down with every

And try to wreck the ship of state?
We venture forth to take the air
And suddenly are stricken dumb
A tire explodes, forthwith we think
Some anarchist has thrown a bomb
Zen golf, we hear, has lost its lure
And poker's fighting for its life

To foment chickering's and strife

And one might recreation seek
With something like a tranquil mind.

Must Have the Port
of Birminghom

THE government has manifested
u great interest in the Warrior
river highway; it has expended large
sums recently on barges and tow
boats, to say nothing of the millions
upon millions on the locks and other
improvements within the last fifteen
years.
Huge tonnage will originate in the
Birmingham district if the proper
terminals are provided. But unless
the Port of Birmingham is established
the traffic facilities touching indus
trial Alabama will come to naught.
There has been great deal of talk
in Birmingham, but little action. The
time has come when action is abso-
lutely essential.
The business men of Birmingham
have at last come to the realization
that something must be done and
done in large way.
At meeting of the Warrior river
development committee, held yester-
day, it was decided to canvass in the
coming week for 100000 stock for
the Port of Birmingham corporation
The corporation is authorized to
raise 100000, but third of that
amount will be sufficient for start
A Port of Birmingham is absolutely
essential. Unless we have this port
the government barges will be with
drawn and the Warrior way declared
a failure.
Birmingham certainly cannot at
ford to lose ground by inattention
The time has come for action anc
prompt action at that.

a splenetic attack on the south has
come to the attention of The Age

vile, S. c., sends marked copy of
the paper in which this diatribe ap-
peared. The Information it contains
will doubtless astonish Judge Samuel
D. Weakley, the Rev. Brooks Law
renee and other prohibition workers
who flatter themselves that they have
made Alabama, as we'll as several
other southern states, as dry as the
proverbial bone. More than one bibu-
lous citizen of Alabama would be
pleased to know where whisky is made
in such abundance, and how. Despite
the assertions of the Providence
News, the "well regulated Alabama
home" does not possess its tipple,
the southern gentleman is painfully
dry and it is a fact that "cheap
whites" and the colored brother con-
sumo large part of whatever illicit
whisky is made in the south for the
simple reason that they are willing to
drink the vile stuff. The better class
of citizens, white as well as black,
are not SO eager to take their lives in
their hands.
No newspaper that was not pro-
foundry ignorant of the conditi ons
which it seeks to describe and blinded
| by a prejudice which is rather hard TO
account for at this late day would
make such absurd statements. Had
they been made by a newspaper pub
lished somewhere in Europe, they
might have been excusable, but Rhode
Island is not so very far from Ala
bama and the News should try to
learn the facts, unless it does rot
care to publish facts.

for the twenty-five million dollar
bond issue for good roads, will be as

The citizens should be enthusiastic

The twenty-five million-dollar

If any people are hesitating about
the bond issue, Judge Allen and other

the right thing to do is to vote for
the issue.
