How to Prevent Disease

Herewrd Darlington in Leslie's |,
 When a foreign invades one's coun- try, the inhabitants rise up to resist the iava6er, and < st .ugle frequently ensues in which either the invader in expelled or the resisting army is com- pleteiy overwhelmed and the country laid waste, It is much the same in the human body. When disease germs in- wade the human body-through tho lungs or stomach, or through some wound in the protective covering of the skin-the home army is mobil- ized for defense-thehome army in this case being the white corpuscIes in the blood. These at once begin active de- ,fense measures, and a deadly battel Is fought. If the white blood corpuscles succeed in overcoming the invading germs, the patient recovers; if, on the other hand. they are overwhelmed, the patient dies. sThe way to prevent dis ease it to keep up the health and number of these corpuscles in the blood; and the way to insure that, ia turn. is to live a simple. democratic life, relatively abstemious {. in character. Simple food, and not too much of it; plenty of pure water; rest, sleep, exer- else. plenty of fresh air and deep breathing: change of occupation: regu- larity in the matter of the bodily ex- cretions: an active skin: frequent bath ing. and a contented. confident atti- tude of mind these will insure good health and relative immunity from any possible disease or trouble from in- vadng germs"

the army in its schools and shops to ac- quire an education, but principally to learn a trade, and especially that of au- tomobile mechanic. The motor transport corps, which offered the best opportunity for this class of wotk. has long since been full. The recent motorization of the field and heavy artillery regiments offers the best opportunity now, and majority of the 320 men enlisting during August chose such regiments.
 The recruiting officers try to ascertain from applicants what they want, whether to improve their education, learn par ticular trade, or just want to traVel. and if the applicant does not want to go to some particular place or unit Of the service, send him where the opportuni- ties are best for his particular needs.
 The army is doing it's best to improve ranks says Colonel George Saggarrans, and offers them wonderful opportunl- ties, and will turn them back to civil life satisfied, useful and productive citizens.
 -The recruiting officer was authorized yesterday by wire from the war depart ment to accept a limited number of men monthly for the quartermaster corps m the construction, supply and remount service. This branch of the service mas been full for some time. It is one of the big branches of the army and offers fine training in many trades. EftectlVe today, opportunity is offered for service in Germany in the infantry.
 ? Those who enlisted yesterday are: Clyde .Cashman, Dora; Albert Dunson, Anda- lusia; Walter Simmons, Dadeville; Amcs Robertson, Vincent; Dave Fuller, We tumpka.

Dr. Torrey's Attack

To the Editor of The Age,Herald:
 Since your paper displays a spirit of fairness, I am encouraged to hope you will publish my letter in reply to Dr. Torrey's recent attack on Christian Science.
 Although the reverend gentleman has a perfect right to join with Martin Luther and throw his polemical ink pot at the devil, he only spatters himseir by attacking those, who, like himself, are endeavoring with good success to over- come the forces of evil.
 Why Should Dr. Torrey Nblame Mrs. Eddy for believing that Jesus meant what He said, when he enumerated among the signs that should follow them that believe" that If they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them."- Mark 16:1S.
 Allow me also to remind him that Chris tian Scientists do not speak of Mrs. Eddy as Mother Eddy, as she requested them not to do so. Let us follow charity and desire spiritual gifts, and we shall not Waste our time quarreling about the personality of the devil, but strive to overcome evil in ourselves and extend a helping hand to those who are trying to do the same. w. H. DORCHESTER.

 This is the first time motion pic
 ture has been shown in this part of
 the country from automobiles, the power being derived from the auto mobile motor by special machinery.
 More than two-thirds of the picture houses in the state have agreed to fea- ture the picture in their theatre some time during the next two months.
 Members of the campaign committees
 in the different counties are asked to sponsor the picture when it appears in
 their respective communities. T. Park Hay, Jr.. state manager of
 the seaport campaign, returned from New Orleans yesterday after witness ing the first projections of the newly completed film. The picture shows hundreds of scenes along Alabama's waterways and at locks and dams, and particularly at Mobile.
 This picture illustrates in a graphic way the fact that joint rail and water rates are lower than all-rail rates, ac- cording to the tariff published by the interstate commerce commission. This permAs a shipper in an inland town to ship by rail to the nearest river port and thence by water to Mobile. The shipper reduces his freight bill 20 per cent on that portion of the trip which | is made by barge. Thsi applies also to imports,
 It is expected that four prints of the film will arrive in Birmingham Friday. Saturday the first showing will be made to members of the state harbof commission at one of the theatres in Birmingham. It will then be released l to the public

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Profits on Melons

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:.
 Speaking of profiteering, how's this? A farmer told me yesterday that he has been selling large watermelons all summer at an average of $212.50 per carload of about 1,400 melons; that is, at about 151 cents apiece. The broker who buys the ,carlead lots sells them directly to wagons and retails from the cars and these dealers in turn sell them to the consumer at 75 cents to s1 each. In other words, a profit of from 400 to 563 per cent divided between two men. This percentage, of course, will be cut down by defective, over ripe or green fruit, which deduction, however, cannot coneeivably justify such an increase in price. Yours very truly, @ c. L. WATERS.
