 , nouncement which is being published simultaneously throughout the coun- try, telling the dire need of Europes ragged and starving children-not the 1 plight of all, by any means. The sum of $23,000, ,000, which must be raised without delay, if we are to prevent this slaughter of the innocents," will merely provide for those who have reached the last stage of starvation. It is only possible to care for the worst cases, those who cannot survive any longer unless they are fed. Others, clad in rags, their little bodies warped and stunted by malnutrition, will have to be turned away.
 We who live in land of plenty and in comfortable homes with rosy-faced children about us who have never known the pinch of want, should ecu slider the unfortunate children of Eu- rope whose suffering has probably never been equaled in the history of the world. Instead of three meals a day, those who are starving will re- ceive one meal--that is, if the Ameri- can people live up to the traditions of a generous nation. One meal a day! Barely enough food to keep life in their emaciated bodies. Let vigor- ous, healthy father imagine himself trying to support the rigors of the bitterest winter, snow and ice and cutting winds, without fuel, without ufficient clothing and permitted but one slender meal in A hours. Let him visualize what children who have been starving for years must undergo in the stricken lands of central and southwestern Europe, where the blight of war has taken frightful toll of life and will take its millions of victims more this winter, unless we come to the rescue.
 The American soup kitchens cannot go to the children and they cannot reach the kitchens through snow and icy winds without clothes to wear. Some of the money which the Digest will raise will be used to buy pair of wooden stockings, one pair of boots and an overcoat for the children who are most in need.
 The Digest has set noble example by subscribing S25,000 to this fund. It appeals to the American people to donate the remainder. There should DS d lluou Ol GHtChS IdllSlLR ITOIn $1 ,O00 to $10,000, but $tO will clothe a child and provide one meal day this winter. Only $10 will save a human life. Let everyone give ac- cording to his means to cause that should touch every heart not dead tol all human impulses.
 Make checks payable to "Ths Lit erary Digest Child Feeding Fund" and mail them direct to the Literary Digest, 354-360 Fourth avenue, New York City. Every dollar contributed will serve the purpose for which it was given. Not penny will be de- ducted.

Something Rack of It

Tt is certainly refreshing to meet a celebrity who does not make freak of himself trying to look the part,,'' said D. T. Hyatt. yesterday. Women do not seem to be effected as strangely as men when they come into the lime light, at least they do not decorate themselves in such a manner as to make them look as though they had just made their escape from padded cell.
 That idea of wearing the hair to the shoulders that possesses some ar lists of various kinds, among whom is to be found tho old-time politician, may be a deep. seated plot. to bring down the high cost of hair cuts. If this worthy motive is the one respon- .stble for the lengthy locks the wearers should al least be honest enough to the barber and the poor hero worship pers. to say So. Z. ; :

Great Teams

"Football fans of Bessemer read their morning paper yesterday morn ing with relish, for in it was an ac- count of the strong showing of the Bessemer high school against Sidney Lanier High school of Montgomery" said pr. E. R. Smith, and I, for one was unable to restrain my ardor and called in at The Age Herald to find out the result, and, although somewhat disappointed that Bessemer had failed to win, was also gratifisd to know that the Purple Tigers had held their opponents to a O-to-0 tie.
 Ut now looks as if the state high schools are going to stage great fight for the prep title, but the folks out in Bessemer have utmost confi- dence in the Purple Tigers to finally land the bunting. Coach Rcd Harris of the Bessemer Tigers will have an- other hard battle for his team next Saturday, November 20, when they meet the Central Hibh school at Rickwood park"

THE HISTORY OF MIND CURE

From the Chicago Journal.
 There is nothing new in the attempt to cure disease by means of the mind. Many a shrewd physician of hundred years ago cured patients with bread pills, and kept his secret. There were probably mental healers in Babylon and Assyria They are known to have existed in Egypt, Greece and Rome, while the American Indian medicine man was unquestionably an adept in the art of suggestion.
 Horatio w. Dresser, in his recent his- tory of the "new thought" does not go back so far, but seeks to prove that the movement began with the labors of certain P. P. Qimby, ct Portland. Me-, in the 's0's. The first writer on the subject of mind cure. he tells us. was Rev. Warren Felt Evans, a clergy man with Swedenbergian prociivities.
 Mir. Evans wrote a book in 1872. In which he endeavored to prove that dis ease was the result of false beliefs, and in later years not a few other books ATcm HIS pen iheuo @nS-A ~Fr all based on the same conviction. of course. the epoch making book on the subject Is Mrs. Mary Bake Eddys ;'Science and Health" which, appeared in 1875, MT. Dresser does not have a very high opinion of this work. but he can hardly deny that more persons have read Mrs. Eddy's famous book than have read any other on the same lines.
 It may not be amiss, however. to point out that in 1872. the year that saw the publication of MT. Evahs' book, a distinguished member of the medical profession, pr. Hack Tuke, published a book on the influence of7the mind upon the body. and if this book did not cause it's author to be crowned with laurel in hislifctime. it may be pointed out that
 its teachings have influenced much iatef medical practice.

Not a Great Deal of
 Distress in Cotton Belt

61dINGS are as they should be in
 Marion county. A news item from Hamilton is to the effect that the farmers of Marion have sold only 10 bales of this years cotton crop, holding it for better market.
 Why are these sturdy farmers able to hold their cotton? Tax Adjuster C. R. Frank says: Farmers have not found it so much of hardship to keep this product off the market be- cause of the fact that other crops pro- duced this season have enabled them to procure all the immediate funds needed"
 Marion county is not alone. l.. M. Hooper of Selma, speaking before the Credit Mems association on Thursday, said that not more than one-third of the scotton in his section was being solds while the rest was being held for improved marketing conditions.
 This has come about through diver sified farming. In Dallas county great dairying industry flourishes alongside cotton. In Marion farmers have long ceased to place all their eggs in one basket. They do not require much cash to tide them over period, be- cause they have hams and bacon, corn- 2 meal, and flour, sweet potatoes, corn, hogs sheep and cattle.
 There is much less trouble in the land than some of the rumblings of pessimism may have suggested. There Is no great need of money when what 1t represents is plentiful on each farm.

Europe's Starving Children
 Must Be Saved by America

T1NHREE and half million children u ..in Europe will starve and freeze this winter unless the great-hearted American people come to their relief. Herbert Hoover, who has saved more human lives than any other man who ever lived, who made the name of America reverenced in the war-torn lands abroad by feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, asked the Lit erary Digest to plead for these inno- cent victims of war before the Amer ican nation.

Need Nurses

"A large part of the money that will be obtained from the sale of the Christmas seals of the Alabama Tuber- culosis association will be used to em- ploy nurses for every county in the state" said pr. George Eaves.
 These nurses that will be stationed in every county in the state will care for the patients in her community and see that they get the best treatment at the earliest possible time. We are in great need of a good many of such nurses and the money that will be raised by the sale of the seals will come in at good time.'

"The work of the Automobile club is going right on through the winter" said J. P. Dobbins yesterday. By this we mean to show the people that we are around here for the entire year. Had we waited until spring to put on our membership drive there would be many people who would think that it Was an institution that thrives only during the summer months.
 The members that we are able to ob tain for the Automobile club while the snow is on the ground will be sure to stick during the warm weather, when motoring is pleasant We are going to keep the good work up until the Bir- mingham Automobile club will be one of the strongest associations in the city.

Two Nations Honor
 Unknown Soldiers

M INGULARLY impressive were the 0 Armistice Day exercises in Paris and London. Two great nations paid to unknown private soldiers honors that in other days were accorded only to personalities whose names and achievements were a part of history.
 France placed the body of her poilu in the Arch de Triomphe, there to rest as long as the proud city by the Seine exists, as symbol of the patriotism and self-sacrifice of her soldiers who died, more than a million of them, that the Huns might not pass. Eng lands hero lies in Westminster Ab- bey, along with other immortals sleep ing there who brought imperishable renown to the British empire and in many instances left the whole world their debtor.
 There was something more than na- tional gratitude behind the profoundly moving ceremonies with which Eng land and France honored their name less soldiers. It was recognition of the new democracy for which the armies of the allies fought. The down. fall of autocracy brought, even to na- tions where democracy was already firmly established, a realization of what society owes to the common man. the private in the ranks, whether he wears soldiers uniform or in other ways faithfully performs the duties of a patriotic citizen.
 The names of great military lead CTS, potentates and others who have helped to shape human destiny, may be emblazoned on the scroll of fame, but afteR all it was the unheralded millions, unhonored and unsung, who made their success possible.
