the still night air, balmy as a summer

blends tremendously with the music as
white-coated walters scurry here and

hone too soft request TO play "Satur-

leases. Across the polished floor the

ireamy waltz, proceed to their respec-

Tiger Tim Healy First Governor
General of Irish Free State

London, Jan. %. - Tim" Healy.
the Irish Free States first governor
general, is known by the same nick
name as ex-Premier Clemenceau Of
t'rance-"The Tiger"
1t is title Tin" won by his
ferocity in debate, during his long
career as an Irish home ruler" in
parliament.
Stories are told without end of the
verbal encounters in which he came off
with first honors.
He never liked Joseph Chamber
lain, who began his political life as
a Liberal and later Joined the Tories.
IN the English phrase, "he rated. ("
One night in the House Of Com
mons, the Liberal leader being abb
sent, and his followers, with nobody
to keep them in order, rather noisy.
Chamberlain remarked, when the
cats away the mice will play" "And
the rats" added Healy.
During the Boer War. when bitter
charges of stpudity were being made
against the British generals in the
field, a member Of parliament asked
how many horses had been sent TO
Africa. And how many mules:" he
continued, when the first question had
been answered. Yes, and how many
assesr' interrupted the tiger"
I'D rather vote for the devil than
for YOU" shouted an eleetor during
speech Tim" was making as a parla-
mentary candidate. Right, stick by
your pal - rejoined Healy.
Often Tim was merely jocose, not
vitriolic. ...'.a
Once debate was arranged between
himself and Prof. Tom" Kettle. They
tossed" TO decide which should start
and Healy won. The kettle having lost
its spout" he began, and then plunged
into his subject.

is congested with traffic. Or it was
until officers discovered it and now ii
is being closely watched.
1t remained for one messenger,
however, to spring a new stunt in de-
livering packages. This man, so the
story goes, put a dozen bottles in a
sack and tied to it a ball of heavy
Irvine. He cast his cargo into the river
on the Mexican side. He threw the
ball of Irvine, still tied TO the sack, to
waiting companion on the bridge.
Said companion strolled leisurely across
the bridge, dropped the ball Of Irvine
on the American side and later went
underneath the bridge and hauled his
valuable sack to shore. This practice
did not become very poular, however,
as it was too tedious.
But Nueyo Laredo, providing the sa-
looms are not abolished, is looking for
ward TO a busy summer season when

appeared on the scene you and Mary
discussed the situation. She herself
couldn't see how you could afford to
take out more life insurance at that
time, with all the added expenses and
everything.
Of course the insurance you have is
comfort. Not that it would keep the
family very long, but it would help, of
course.
After it was gone, Mary and the
youngsters would have to go home to
live with her folks again. They would
be glad to have her-have said so time
and again. s
But deep down in your heart you know
Mary wouldn't want to go and you
wouldn't want her to go.

YOUR WIFE " | K
Think of Her as a Widow

Her independence would suffer; her
plans for the children would suffer.
She would rather try to make her own
living.
The solution lies in adequate life insur-
ance. To some men this means self
denial that they don't care to face. To
others, to you, it means more confidence
in the future, more self-respect, in
creased earning power.
There's the secret of the whole mat
ter, Increased earning power" The
additional life insurance that you need
is within your means if you only knew
il.
Next time man wants to talk to you
about life insurance invite him to sit
down; his mission is of vital Importance
to your family.

Sanitary Inspection Chief
 Says State Conditions Good
workers 0

Health department workers of counties throughout Alabama will attend the school of instruction in the city and county health depart ment in the city hall. July 10 and II. (. A. Abele, director of the bureau of sanitary inspection of the state board of health, and memb bers of his staff will conduct the work and de- liver lectures.
 Much interest is being displayed In the work of state and county in spectors. The public, so long of the impression that it was a needless un- dertakins, an unnecessary expense, and soudce of petty annoyance to store keepers, restaurants etc., are now cooperating, it is stated, to the extent that great strides are being made in the matter of sanitation ir Alabama.
 Director Discusses Work
 In discussing the activities of the bureau. C.. A. Abele, director, talked interestingly of the work in hand, as follows; Inspection work is fre- quently regarded by the public as job of busy body, a critic who sup ports himself at the expense of the public treasury, one who cannot pre- pare meal or operate a bottling plant or bakery himself, but pre- sumes to tell others how 1t should be done.
 The power delegated to inspectors has som etimes been misused and over enthusiastic or interruptions ap- polntees have abused their authority but this is rarely the case to- day. The general public is growing more and more interested in public health in it's many phases, and es- pecially so in the sanitation of food The remarkable progress in the can ming industry in recent years, the interest in the efforts of the federal bureau of chemistry to prevent the use of injurious conservatives, and the steady improvement in the meth ods of milk production and handling are evidence even to the unobserving that there is public demand for cleanliness and purity in the manu- facture of foodstuffs.
 The Alabama State Board of Health is the central directing agency of all public health activities in this state. At the present time 22 of the 67 counties have completely or- ganized health units which are con ducting health work within the con fines of these counties. The work of the state board of health Is to assist these county health units, and to conduct all public health actiyi-
