JACKSON OPPOSES
 THE COUNTY BONDS


 Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The people of the county will be called on soon to-vote on bond is. sue of s5,OoO,o0 to build roads, was present at the initial public meeting held at the Tutwiler hotel where the project was presented to the public In view of the $25, ,O00,000 state bond issue. and in connection with the ex- penditure of an equal amount by the United States government, l presumed to advance the idea that with so much money to be spent in the state, that ii the county started out with a large expenditure it would create eompeti- tion to such an extent that the work could not be done sufficiently cheap to warrant the undertaking.
 haze just come from our weekly meeting of the Civitan Club and had the pleasure of hearing pr. F. H. Newell. president of the American As soeiation of Engineers. His audience was very much impressed with his splendid, forceful taik on the "Rela- tionshin of Engineers te Society in General" His one statement about the state of Illinois inability to secure labor and material and engineers con firmed my argument in reference to competition and the high cost of con struction.
 It is my candid Judgment that for this reason. as well q $ others. il is not an economical undertaking for this county al this time to authorize by hond issue the expenditure of s5,o00 oO0 In Ahe hands of a practical at tentive Industrious board of revenue, the nearly half million dollars of road tax can keep our present roads in sair condition. This. with what the state will do 9u.ht to meet our needs fer roads in this county until a more con venient seassn,
 am presuming as an interested citizen to give my views. as expressed above. F. NJ JACKSON. Birmingham. February T 1920

FOOD HABITS.

What is the source of power? The
source of power is the food we eat.
Eating is the most important factor
of our life. We eat for it is necessary
to give strength to the body. Without
foods the muscle cells cannot con-
tract and cause the movements of the
body parts. We should all have a
regular time to eat our food. Do not
eat between meals because it spoils
the appetite for the next meal and
does not give the body rest between
meals.
II the food is swallowed in masses
the engines will be able to work only
on the surface of the large pieces and
digestion will be slow. Grinding the
food into sma1l pieces aud mixing the
saliva thoroughly with it is one of the
most important OF all the rules OF hy-
giene. Boiling the food and washing
Z it down in large pieces with water is
a practice that is ruinous to the health.
We should eat with our mouth closed.
If we are cheerful the food will digest
better. When asked what attributed
his hale old age, Gladstone replied,
Mature has given me thirty-two teeth,
SO I aim to give every morsel Of food
that enters my mouth thirty-two
bites" 1t is said that any one who
swallows his food without giving each
mouthful sixteen bites does not eat
properly. Is your mastication up to
this standard?
OF all the hygiene problems that
confront mankind, that of selecting a
proper diet is one of the most diff
cult. Warm foods are essential and
good for the body. We should not eat
between meals as it will not give the
body rest. Our bodies want rest just
as we want rest. Another important
factor is that people, mostly boys and
girls eat too much candy at the wrong
time. It is not good for the teeth as
it will make them decay. We should
learn to eat variety of foods as
bread, potatoes, fat meat, butter, and
other starchy foods.
Alcoholic drinks, especially strong
drinks like whiskey, brandy, and rum
are exceedingly injurious to the stom-
ach. Their habitual use very common
ly causes Inflammation of the lining
Of the stomach. Bacteria then grows
in this food and causes it to decay SO
we have coated tongue, headache,
and all the other evil effects. Coffee.
and tea are not foods and are injurious
to growing children. The most impor-
tant drinks are pure water, milk and
cocoa.

from us, thereby leveling the trade balance. Committee Underestimates Influence
 of Small Amounts of Gold.

The Committee has stated that d loss of $22,000,000 occasioned by the
 increased industrial consumption of gold over the production of new gold is very small item to the monetary gold stock of the nation. In the opinion of the Committee, no doubt, the $S0,000,000 in gold that was with drawn from the United States Mint and Coinage and used for industrial
 purposes during 1919, was also an excessively small amount, notwith- standing that the metal was entirely diverted from monetary use. The gold dollar in the vaults of the Fed eral Reserve Banks may serve as the basis of deposit liabilities of $2.50, and these deposits to the credit of a mem Der bank may in turn serve to enable credit extension by that bank of any where from 71a to IA times that or say $19 to $35. With re- serves close to the legal minimum, every million dollars of gold lost to the monetary gold reserve means forced credit contraction of at least 20 millions. The $S0,0O0,000 withdrawn for industrial consumption during 1919 would therefore be equiv alent at the least estimate of a con- traction of the credit structure of the county of $1,600,0O0,00O. It is inter- esting to note the comments in the reviews of several of our banks re- what small amount imported into

the country has so great an influence on the money market. Can it be that the normal production of gold in the United States, which in 1915 was $100,000,000, would not exert a like influence on the money market, or is there some magic difference between that gold which is imported from Europe and that which may be pro- duced in the United States? These small importations of gold ease our money market at the expense of a depreciation in French and British ex- change, which reduces their purchas- ing power in our market.

add>l to power for production in all lines of endeavo
thai surely should a; Ike amends for the much
az e1tlsed shortage of labor.
The farmer tells the world chat short labor
supply and high wages since the var nave increased
his production, that he cannot produce wheat and
other staple food products at former prices; and
he gets from the government guarantee of price
per bushel for his wheat that taken into consdera
ton other factors is the highest The world has
paid. Owe recall that in 1864 wheat went to 81 per
blshel, but that was in deprecated paper money,
worth forty cents on the dollar) Yet invention of
the tractor with it's great capacity fol cultivation of
land, il tales of it's capacity can be believed should
have made up that deficiency in farm labor, and its
increased cost.
Where are the great supplies of wheat that were
embarg0ed in Chic, Argentina and Australia during
the war; for want of bottoms to them to Europe
for market. Vessels galore are available to take
oversees the great supplies of grain described as
having accumulated in those countries; and their
weight in the markets of the world should have borne
down the wheat market.
AGAIN the world reads Of wonderful advances
in machinery and systems in factories, foundries ami
shops which declared to have specded production
increasing output vastly; yet in all lines where they
boast side of all these wonderful things there
comes the same cry of shortage in labor decreased
production, unable to meet the greatly increased
demand.
Where goes all the increased production due t.
these great inventions mentioned, and many
that can be enumerated?

inefficient
For instance, it takes two day. ordinarily to send

vice.
1t is well know that THE telephone and teee tanh
