EAT CORN MEAL AND IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH

Do you know how to make corn meal cheese pudding7 Or corn meal fish balls? Or Philadelphia scrap pie? Or polenta? You may not even know what polenta is.
 Then there Is corn meal mush with fruit. buttermilk, waffles, corn meal puffs and fritters. Only the initiated know the joy of cracking bread, ash cake, corn dodger, and corn pone.
 There are a thousand ways to use corn meal and lend variety to the diet. Corn meal is nourishing but aside from that 1t stimulates the innards like a massage does the scalp. It is just, scratcny enough to be invigorating.
 There is more fool value locked up fin corn than in any other pro- duct of the American farm. The housewife who does not draw on it is overlooking the nations greatest food reserve
 Get the bulletin of the Depart ment of Agriculture which tells many ways to use corn meal It is full of practical and tempting recipes.

NEAR EAST RELIEF CAMPAIGN TO CLOSE
 IN CITY NEXT WEEK
Dr. Harris Requests Pastors of All Denominations to Set Aside Next
 Sunday as Armenian Day
of Birmingham, Ala Statement February 2Sth, 1920.
 RESOURCES

Next week will be the intensive finale" of the Near East Relief cam paign in Birmingham and a determined effort will be made to raise the quota of $40, 900, of which nearly two-thirds still remains to be raised.
 pr. Scale Harris, state and city chairman of the Near East Relief cam paign, has requested pastors of all de- nominations, to set aside next Sunday as special day for the benefit of the campaign and to preach sermons in behalf of the stricken Armenians and other people of the near east and 9 request is made by pr. Harris that notice of this be given in. all church publications for coming Sunday
 If the campaign in the state is 2 success, which the leaders hope to make it.. much of the credit will be due to the sacrifice of rile school chill dren in the smaller towns and villages of Alabama, who are responding nobly to the call. and records at headquar- ters, at 624 Chamber of Commerce building, show that they are making actual sacrifices in behalf of the thou sands of starving Armenians.
 Among the many striking letters from this source one received Tuesday by State Chairman Harris touched { warm spot in the hearts of those at headquarters.

Street Commissioner
 Denounces Grand Jury
 hScathing Language
Henry Page Burruss Says: Had Sense of Public Duty, Public Service and Official Responsibility Governed Then They Would Have Designated the Neglect
 fuI Official Or Officials Indicated"

those who carry the unrighteous thun- derbolt of a politicating grand jury in the hollow of their hand and the am pie folds of their official toga.
 Mighty, indeed, is the bolt of the arrogant Jupiter legalis He mods be- highly and the report is made to suit the political exigencies of the occa- sion. Some men think that their bodies become invisible when their mental apartment is beclouded and obscured Optimism is a great asset but moral retribution sometimes converts an of ficial sin into a serious liability. Frank ness. straightforwardness honesty and justice have always been constructive and upbuilding. Vice. injustice and wrong are destructive to the individual and society.
 What are the functions and legiti- mate offices of grand jury? Chief Justice Stone tells us in the case oi Brooks vs. the State. reported in 7S Alabama. page 14
 THE LAW
 "'But the investigations of the grand jury must not be inquisitorial with the exception of one class of offenses. Such Investigations must be directed to a specified end, and the right to interro- gate witnesses is confined to specified aims and objects He further said There is no authority for constituting witness a general informer, requiring him to tell all he may know. The in quiry must be directed to the particu- lar act. transaction, or imputed crime Anything beyond this, except in tho one class of offenses, is not authorized by any law and is fin it's nature inquisf- torial.'
 "The excepted class referred to above is that of gaming cases. In this class the state authorizes the grand jury tC linterrogate witnesses as to any sucf offense within their knowledge anc without specifying any act or transac tion. When so interrogated as to gam ing, the witness is required to answer.

FIGHT IS COMING ON EXPRESS RATES Shippers Will Vigorously Oppose Advance of 9 to
 75 Per Cent Asked

Increased rates asked for by the American Railway Express Company will not be granted, except over. the strong protests of shippers. it is stated by traffic representatives of manufacturers and merchants of Birmingham.
 O. l.. Bum, secretary-treasurer or the Birmingham Traffic Bureau, states that when the application for increased rates comes up for hearing he will go to Washington to represent the interests Of Birmingham express shippers and to pro- test against any additional burden be- ing placed upon them.
 Local shippers also have large num- Der of claims for losses and damages against the old express companies which were consolidated in the American Rail- way Express Company by the government when it took over their control and op- eration about two years ago.
 These claims were not pushed during government control. but they will be re- vived and aggressiveiy pushed just as soon as the question of increased rates comes up for a hearing.
 It is estimated that the express com panies operating in Birmingham prior to the entra nee of the United States into the world war aggregate several thousand dollars. These have never been adjust ed, being permitted to lie dormant while the government controlled the express business
 The additional revenue that would be derived from the advance in rates asked by the express company would amount to approximately s25, ,000OO0 year, ac- cording to an estimate made by Mir Bum. The specific increases wanted hy i the express company range from 25 to '; lsDer cent
