economic productiveness in the
United States in the last ten
years.
''In a decade" said Hoover to
this writer, ''the economic pro-
ductiveness of the United States has
gone up Is per cent per person.
In that same time the number Of
hours worked daily per person has
gone" down by one hour. Yet in
spite of that decline, there has been
the 1B per cent increase in pro-
ductiveness per person; and the re.
suit might be illustrated in several
ways.
"For instance:
IF we chose to live at the level
OF comfort OF ten years ago, we
could support 5000 ,OO0 of our fel-
low-citizens in idleness, and the rest
OF US, because of our increase in
productive power, could do all the
work that was done then, In full.
'Or, If we all choose to go on
working, as we mostly do, then we
will produce, as we are now pro-
ducing, several billion dollars more
of wealth each year than we pro-
duced then, and we have that new
surplus for new necessaries or COM
forts or luxuries Off we like
for improved general social welfare.
Increased productivity produces
constantly new resources for social
welfare"
Whatever the cause. the findings
presented by the conference dis
play advancing and expanding pow
err of well-being in America.

HEALTH
Hints
BY the

Physical
Culture

\ vital man is at all times thor
oughly alive The forces of life seem
10 imbuc every part OF his organism
~ith energy, activity and all cIiarac.
teristics opposed TO things inaninlate.
He can hardly avoid being ambitious.
And consequently success, with all its
splendid rewards, comes to such a
elan in abundance. Life to such a
man should be respondent With
worthy achievements.
You must have strength Of body.
You cannot have too much strength.
The more nearly you feel like .
strong man the more can you achieve
in the desired direction. All success
!ll men are, and have been, men Of
tremendous energy. Their achieve
ments have been simply the express
sion Of the vitality and nerve force
which can no more be repressed than
the power of an engine when it has
once been liberated. Success is due
to the dynamic quality Of energy II
is true that physical energy and bod
lily strength are not sufficient for sue.
cess in all fields. One must have APP
titudc for his chosen work. Your
energy must be directed in the proper
channels, but without this energy and
vitality you can accomplish virtually
nothing.
Vitality means normal functioning.
When the organs of the body are all
performing their duties satisfactorily.
you can practically be sure Of plen-
tiful supply Of vitality So it can
truly be said that proper functioning
Is the secret OF power.
The most important of all furc-
tional processes begins in the stom-
ach. There is where the bloodmale
ing process commences, and since a
man is what the blood makes of him,
you can realize the tremendous i'm
portance of this particular function
If the digestion is carried on prop
erly, and the blood is made rich in
those elements that add to life, health
and strength, then the functions of
the stomach are being properly per
| formed.
Pure blood depends upon the per-
feet and continuous excretion of the
wastes formed in the body through
the processes of life, and without
keeping the blood pure in this man
ner the body rapidly becomes poi
soned by its own waste products, with
the result that health, vitality and
even life are lost.
II is true that internal strength is
more important than external mus
cular strength, but the fact is that
they go together. AS a general thing,
by building muscular strength, one is
able at the same time to develop in-
ternal Strength. The influence Of
exercise in purifying the llood and in
promoting activity in ali the internal
organs really strengthens the e"de-
partments Of the interior" at the same
time that it develops the muscles con-

SELMA'S FIRE CHIEF
TO REDUCE FIRE HAZARD

SELMA, Ala, Sept. 18.-Fire
prevention work, inaugurated
month ago by Fire Chief John
Blakeley, is progressing well, the
chief stated, and by the time the
season of greater fire hazard rolls
around Selma will be in good
shape.
Numbers of cellars in the down
town district which have been
filled with rubbish and inflam-
mable material for years, have
been cleaned out on order of the
fire chief, and regular fire inspec-
ton is being made by city fire
men. These are changed every
few weeks to enable every man
to become as widely familiar as
possible with the buildings of Sell
ma. Heating systems are being ex-
amined and other work of this
kind will be carried on as a regular
part of the duties of firemen.

PLAN NEW LAW TO AID
IN COLLECTING TAXES
Comptroller General Will Rec
ommend Enforcement Stat
ute" to Next Legislature

ATLANTA, Sept. 18.-Comp-
troller General VIM. A. Wright
will recommend to the legislature
in November the enactment of a
very simple additional Statutory
provision which, he says, will en-
tirely solve the matter of full col
lection of funds and equal enforce
ment of the tobacco stamp law in
Athe state.
For some time reports have been
coming If that certain cJlamuni-
ties in the state were not going
to voluntarily comply with the law
and, for that reason, there would
be extreme danger that it would
not realize the funds expected from
it, since no enforcement machin-
cry is provided in the act creating
the tobacco stamp tax.
General Wright now suggests
and will recommend the enactment
of an entirely separate bill, to be
known as enforcement bill, which
shall require all dealers in cigars,
cigarettes and tobacco in any form
to register with the ordinary of
the county annually, on or before
January LIST, or at the time of
commencement of business in any
calendar year, for which SO cents
or 81, to be paid to the ordinary.
This fee, General Wright says, is
a nominal item in view of the fact
that the Miner law removes all oc-
cupational tax, now carried in the
general tax act, on tobacco deal
ers. The same bill would be made
to provide that each registered
dealer shall make application for
the requisite stamps in duplicate,
the original to be forwarded, with
the cash, to the comptroller gen
erals office, and the duplicate to
be filed with the ordinary in the
county where the business is done,
and such duplicates and registra-
tions to be checked by the ordin-
airy. In this way, General Wright
says, the state will get an accurate
check on the payment of the stamp
tax by the retail dealer, and the
violation of either or. both provis-
ions of the proposed bill should be
made a misdemeanor for each in
stance.
The matter Of the designs for
the different denomination of the
stamps will be decided upon by
General Wright in the course of
the next few weeks. and the stamps
will be printed and ready by the
first of the year, when the law
becomes effective. Confederate
generals and emblems will in all
probability be used in all the de
signs.
