Need for Co-Operntion

NATTUdT USId SIdTJ
 When your town gets into a rut and you see for yourself that it is not making progress along con- structive lines, that it's develop ment is retarded and thatits busi- ness pulsations show need of a strong stimulant, is 1t not the part of wisdom to do your part toward providing a remedy? We think 1t is. And, in order that we may have the contrast before us, 1t would not be out of place to con- slider the great benefits that ac- crued to Andalusia when every business man and business inter- est was pulling together in theirI efforts to boost and build for Am dalusia.

IS PROHIBITION ENFORCED?

Commissioner Roy A. Haynes de- tailed story of prohibition enforce ment, now running daily in The Age Herald, is an Illuminating exposition of the subject and a refutation of many current erroneous beliefs re- garding the work of enforcement. It lis evident that, while prohibition may not prohibit, it reduces the traffic to mere shadow of it's former propor- stions. Although the liquor now pur- veyed is far more deadly and poison ous than before prohibition, proof that the total consumption of liquor , has measurably and decidedly de- creased is given by the statistics of hospital admissions which-s show that cases of alcoholic psychosis in 1910 amounted to 10.1 per cent of mental cases admitted, while in 1920 such cases amounted to only 3.1 per cent. This is a remarkable decline in face of the increased poisonous potency of E the beverages now illicitly dispensed. As to the amounts of liquor now : sold and consumed Commissioner [ Haynes says;
 The moonshine still is the boot
 legger's chief source of supply. E From what other place can he get
 his liquor in quantity? Surely
 not from the rigidly controlled E bonded warehouses-they are
 eliminated at once. As to snug ta gled liquor, some, it is true, is $ brought into the country; but not
 one-tenth as much as the illegal
 traffic would have us believe r When the reports of huge snug :. gllng operations are circulated it ss should be remembered that the s illicit liquor interests are conduct .e ing great and elaborate propa-
 ganda campaign to discredit law
 enforcement and that the spread ing of such reports is part and \ parcel of that campaign. No 7 bootlegger, of course, is willing to
 admit that he can obtain only
 adulterated moonshine. Hence,
 fanciful tales of the wet wave 2, sweeping in on our coasts and !, other related falsehoods swung Z from mouth to mouth to hide the real and dangerous original of .. what the bootlegger has to sell. < Are the people to believe the fly Ing rumors of the great increase in < drunkenness and the failure of pro- hibition? Are they to credit the : propaganda of those to whose interest sit is that this illicit business shall : flourish? Or shall they be reassured 2 by the head of the federal prohibition 5 forces that the persistent lawbreakers who profit by the traffic try to en- courage patronage by assertions that :. everybody is doing it? It is time for 5 the lawabiding people of this country ; to rally to the support of the law, in order that respect for the law may }. not be undermined by insidious and , false propaganda.

JEWISH LAUGHS
Remedy Preceding Wound
By Jacob Hichr Il

He paused in the recitation of the long Yom Kippur prayers and went outside for a walk. Turn ing around the corner he slipped into a restaurant and had hearty meal.
 As he merged from the eating place he was met by a devout member of his congreg egation.
 Did you eat on the Day of Atonement,' the pious co-religion- ist asked with amazement, "a strong, healthy man like you?"
 The offender blushed to the roots of his hair and said: You you see. my doctor ordered me not to fast"
 'I understand perfectly" re- marked the worshipful brother. "They say that God provides the remedy before inflicting the wound II seems that you se- cured your remedy in advance. Now what you need Is the wound"

The Simple Life

He seeks the forest solitude Far, far from urban strife, And in wild and reckless mood To live the simple life. He craves the calm and peaceful air Of natures own domain, Away from work, away from care, Away from mental strain. He yearns to rough it mid the grim And rude and hoary trees, And so he takes along with him These bare necessities: One chauffeur,
 One cook,
 One secretary,
 One valet,
 One portable bungalow, One motor car,
 One truckload of sustenance, One phonograph,
 One radio outfit,
 One cocktail shaker. The Turk won a remarkable victory over the Christian diplomats, but wait until the Christian oil magnates put the. works on him.

CheImites Remove Mountain

The wise men of Chelm got to- gether to discuss ways and means to increase the population of their city. It was pointed out that the beloved City of Chelm could not grow because it was surrounded by mountains, and in order to ex- tend its area and enlarge it's boundaries the mountains must be removed. Whereupon the citi- zens of Chelm, under the leader ship of their rabbi, sallied forth for the patriotic task of pushing the mountains off the city.
 It was hot day, and the va liant men of Chelm took off their coats and left them at the foot of the mountain which was first to be removed.
 After an hour of hard and stren- uous labor pushing the mountain, they stopped for a brief rest and discovered that their coats were not in. sight.
 Well. we have accomplished a great deal" sighed the good men of Chelm with relief. We have Dshed the mountain away so far vat our coats, which remained be- hind. can't be seen any more."

HOW DOCTORS TREAT COLDS
 AND THE FLU
First Step In Treatment Is Calo- tabs, the Purified and Re- fined Calomel Tablets That Are Nausealess, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds, coughs sore throat and influenza can be de- pended upon for full effectiveness until the liver Is made thoroughly ac- tive. That Is why the first step in the treatment is the nausealess calomel tablets called Calotabs, which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go long way towards preventing influ enza and colds and is one of the most important factors in enabling the pa tient to successfully withstand an at tack and ward off pneumonia.
 One or two Calotabs at bed time, with a swallow of water-thats all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eating, pleas ure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Genuine Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-five cents for the large, family-package: ten rents for the small. vest-pocket si~1,-Adv.

The amount of reduction in pay ments to the W. T.

Rogers, chair man of the commission. Following a conference With Attorney General Harwe1 G. Davis. Senator Rogers stated that the conclusion was reached that the highway commits sion has not the authority to alter the provisions of the Shelby county contract and that the construction of the road through Shelby county will continue under supervision of state and federal engineers rather than of the commission.
 The form of contract signed by the Taylor Construction company for the Shelby county project provided that changes in specifications should be made by agreement between the con- tractor and the engineers The en- gineers allowed the contractor to use cheaper material than at first speci- fled, with the understanding that the payments to the contractor would be reduced between 25 and 50 cents per cubic yard as a result. The high way commission had contract tentatively drawn up for signature, reducing the payments to the contrac- tor 471z cents per cubic yard. The Taylor Construction company refused to accept this. holding it to be too much of a reduction. and an informal conference with the attorney gen eral resulted in the conclusion that under the contract the engineers and and the commission itself have au- thority in such matter.

 A large number were attracted to the court house by reports that Judge Leon McCord would impose hard labor sentences. This report gained ground because some of the defend . ants had been before the courts of Montgomery on charges of violating the prohibition laws before this time and the prohibition law requires the imposition of hard labor sentences for second offenses.
 Judge McCord issued warning that a second appearance before him would mean hard labor and no leni- ent sentence at that The sun Is shining beautifully on you today, but the next time you come it will be a rainy day" said the judge as he lm- posed the sentences.
