Eastern Southside Section
 Has $1 ,OOO, 900 In New Houses

Birmingham's growth in the east ward section of the southside, which residents say has been unprecedented in the past year, has seen more than 100000 invested in new homes since last fall.
 Street after street has been laid out, paved, curbed, connections for homes put in and as if by magic beautiful houses have sprung up. Hardly has new area been im- proved before the red clay lines of avenues in the making begin mak- ing their appearance, as they can be seen now, extending into the virgin forests of the hillside.

We cull from a Spanish newspaper the following amusing anecdote:
 Some years ago Spain was repre- scented at Pertograd by the Duke of Osuna, vain and extravagant man who spent his patrimony in most un- scrupulous fashion.
 One day this noble diplomat sent a photograph of himself to his younger brothers, who had remained in Mad rid. The picture showed him clad in a magnificent fur coat and cap which the czar himself might well have owned, and below he had written: Behold and admire me-"
 When the brothers received the photograph they went at once to

"A CAME CHICKEN" CAPITOL FEATURE
Bebe Daniels Attraction At Theatre During Friday
 And Saturday
Have you a little Spanish grand

Have you little Spanish grand mother in your home?
 Its your loss if you haven't" says Bebe Daniels, star of A Game Chick- en" which will open Friday at the Capital theatre.
 Miss Daniels has a quaint little grandmother who Is, in her way. as interesting as the pretty star of Realart Pictures herself. Eva de Ia Plaza Griffin is the daughter of a one-time governor of Colon bia. On a trip to Buenos Aires she met the American consul in that city, and married him as the culmination of a real international romance. Mrs. Grtf- fin traces her descent from the Elm press Josephine of France.
 When Mrs. Griffin learned that her granddaughter was to do picture with a lot of Spanish atmosphere, she took from her trunks the relics of her youth fine shawls and mantillas, rare and beautiful fans and jewelry Many of these appear as costumes and props" in the picture, and Mrs. Griffin, as interested as any young girl, was nearly always on the stage when Spanish scenes were being made.
 "A Game Chicken, was written for Miss Daniels by Nina Wilcox Putnam, the well-known fiction1st, and the scenario was prepared by Fred My ton, under the supervision of Elmer Harris. The supporting cast in cludes Pat O'Malley, Hugh Thompson, Martha Mattox, James Gordon, Ger trude Norman, Charles Force and Matte Peters.
 "A Game Chicken" contains a wealth of action. thrills and adven- ture, mixed with plenty of romance, and is considered one of the best Bebe Daniels subjects Those fans who like their photoplays served with plenty of fun and action, will not be disappointed in this production.

 AT LOEW's BIJoU
 Theatre-goers are scheduled for five entertaining acts at Loew's BlJou for the second half of the week, with a humorous feature film given for good measure. The five acts were new and original, and all were carried out in an individual way that made them interesting.
 Though the "Six Jollys Pirates and a Maid" were billed as headliners, there was nothing that rather them higher than the other four acts. The Pirates rendered several songs as sextet, as we'll as several solos by members of the team. The Maid en- livened the act with her dancing. The act was good.
 The Kitamura Japs offered some thing new in one of the oldest known trades of the show game, in show ing suppleness of body and balancing power.
 Morgan and Gray, with their com edy skit representing the wife of the office slave" in her almost vain attempts to get her husband off to work, kept the audience In an up- roar.

THE HUMAN DAIRY ]
New Life Saving Enterprise

Everyone with a grain of sense
knows that the natural and best food
for the human baby is human milk.
Everybody, even the most foolish,
knows that the mother should nurse
her offspring, yet some mothers do
not have milk enough and others are
so stingy and selfish that they won't
nurse their babies. All doctors and
statisticians know that artificially fed
babies usually are sickly and often
die, so a new industry, we can so
call it, had come into existence in
New York and Chicago, the collecting
and sale Of human milk. This life
saving food is worth its weight in
gold to starving infant, and all of
the milk offered finds ready sale.
Mothers with babies who have more
milk than their own baby can con-
sumo, go twice a day to the dairy to
be MIXED or to milk themselves.
They are paid 10c per ounce for their
milk and some mothers can spare as
much as ten or twelve ounces. One
Italian mother took her sick baby to
clinic for treatment; it was having
stomach trouble and bowel distub-
ance. The physicians found that 1t
was being overfed and advised the
mother to let it nurse less often and
not so much She went by their ad-
vice; the baby improved. These cir
cumstances came to the notice of
visiting nurse, and she persuaded the
mother to go to the Dairy. She did
so, and in one year sold 1868 worth
Of food. No telling how many lives
she saved and how many parents were
made happy by seeing their starving
babies made round and plump.
Milk from all kinds Of mothers is
taken; it is made safe by pasteuriza-
ton. 1t has been found that by add
ing little human milk to cows, goat
or other milk, some unknown element
is given 1t that causes it to agree with
the babies. We will watch the prog
ress Of the Human Dairy with great
deal of interest.

Many farmers, it was brought out, now
depend entirely on the cotton crop,
and buy the products named for their
own tables.
More Economical Credit
At the conference at Ithaca, N. T.,
those participating felt that better
understanding between farmers and
bankers would be beneficial to both.
At present large amount of the cred
it used by farmers is in the form of
ed out, is much more expensive for
them than bank credit 1t was felt that
a campaign Of education is needed to
acquaint farmers with banking facili-
ties. The conference, therefore, rec
commended that the Agricultural Com
mittee Of the State Bankers Associa-
ton, the agricultural college and rep
resentatives of the Farm Bureau and
the State Grange get together for the
purpose of working out programs and
plans for further meetings to be held
in the various counties Of the state.
At a conference held at Amherst,
Massachusetts, there were representa-
tives from Vermont, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut. Emphasis was placed on the
Importance Of the Boys and Girls
Club work. The New England confer
ence also felt that the Importance Of
bank credit over mercantile credit
should be stressed. A resolution was
adopted and is being sent to agricul-
tural committees in each State urging
that they get in touch with their agri-
cultural colleges and map out a pro-
gram for educating the farmer in re-
gard to the Importance and the econo-
my Of bank credit over mercantile
credit.
The emphasis on this resolution
came not so much from the bankers
present as it did from the representa-
tives of the agricultural colleges and
the farmers.

HOPE AT LAST FOR
The TUBERCULAR
NEW SANITARIUM is
PROVIDED BY STATE
Half Million Dollar ApprOpria-
tion-Negroes to be Taken
Care Of

The LEGISLATURE at it's session just
closed did a splendid piece OF work
for the State in passing a measure
that will give to our State much
larger sanatorium for the treatment OF
tuberculosis.
The bill was introduced by Mr.. J.
II. Miner, of Eastman, and Dr. Chas.
w Peek. of Cedartown. 1t provides
for the expenditure of 100000, ana
makes provision for the raising OF
the fund by a 10 per cent tax on
cigarettes and cigars. The Dill also
proyides for the pension fund lot
Confederate soldiers.
It is now the plan OF the state
Board of Health to turn the present
institution at Alto to the care OF the
negro tubercular and build the new
institution for white patients near the
present institution,
The plans for the work will soon
be gone into, and the project will be
undertaken just as soon as the money
is available, which will be about two
wears hence. The tax is to be raised
s25O00O in 1924 and the same
amount in 1925. The construction
will be begun as soon as the first
years tax is collected.
There has never been any place
nrovided in Georgia for the care OF
the colored race, and this movement
is regarded by those who know as
Yar-reaching in its effect, as much o.
the tuberculosis is in the negro race
and thew come in contact with the
whites as cooks, in dairy work, laun-
drv etc. It is predicted that this
measure will go long way towards
eliminating this disease.
The passage Of the bill was hard
fought. the sentiment in the Senate
changing apparently several times in
a day or so. On the vote one
majority was the result, the President
Of the Senate, Hon. Geo. H. Carswell
leaving the chair to make a speech
IN behalf of the bill and casting the
deciding vote for it.
Generations yet unborn will rise VI
TO bless all who had anything to dc
with its passage; to them will be
given the advantage of health ant
freedom from the great white plague

DANGER is Seen
JUST AHEAD OF US
Diphtheria, Measles, WhOoping
Cough-0pening of Schools
Spreads Disease.

Within a short time our schools will
open, and with the opening will come
close contact and the assembling of
many children in close quarters. Colds,
typhoid, pneumonia, diphtheria, meas
les, whooping cough and other like
diseases are spread by contact or the
direct transmission OF the germs from
one person TO another. We must have
schools, and under present conditions
the children must be congregated in
close rooms, and i'll many places the
sanitary conditions are not good; the
common drinking cup is still in use in
many places; it is a great danger
The common privy is i'll use in many
places, a great menace, and the drink
Ing water is in many cases taken from
polluted wells and springs. The State
Board Of Health statistics go to prove
that all such diseases as those men
toned above always increase for the
first month Of six weeks after schools
open. Parents should do their part

it that their child has been given pro-
lection by vaccination where vaccines
are of value, as for instance small
pcX, typhoid, diphtheria and the like.
Every child should be vaccinated now
against smallpox. This is the only
vaccination that produces sore.
There is little inconvenience from ty-
rhoid vaccination and none from toX-
in-antitoXin. The protection offered
by these vaccines is definite-sure.
The toxin-antitoxin should be given
to the babies; all babies at the breast
should be given this remedy. 1t is
absolutely harmless, gives no unpleas-

this vaccine is for it's life protected

THE MOST FATAL DISEASE

According to the Vital Statistics
Department Of the State Board OF
Health, Bright's Disease is the cause
Of most Of our deaths, with tubercu-
losis next Bright's Disease can be
diagnosed by examination of the urine
in a laboratory very easily, and it is
only when this diagnosis is made
early that treatment is worth much
The Georgia State Board of Health
does not make such examinations, as
they have never had funds sufficient
to put on this work Dr. Abercrombie
would like very much to do SO, not
only for urine, but to determine the
disease of cancer. 1t is sincerely
hoped that the Legislature will give
enough money to establish such work
some time in the near future.

meeting III the lOlul VI No'OPOA
In five other states-Californla,
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah
it was agreed at subsequent confer
ences that bankers agricultural com
mittees would meet at the state agrl-
cultural colleges and, in cooperation
with the college officials, work out
program that they would recommend
to the banks.
The Texas Plan
1t was at the Texas conference that
1t was developed that the officials of
both the bankers association and OF
the state college felt the big problem
for that state was the establishment
OF a system Of collective, orderly mar
keting. In order to bring this prob
lem effectively before the farmers and
the bankers it was agreed to hold a
banker-farmer meeting in December
Efforts will be made to get from zoo
to $50 bankers to attend, each banker
to bring with him several representa-
tive farmers Of his community. The
program and demonstration Will en-
phasize the need of meeting the mar
keting problem and point ways to
satisfactory solution.
At Athens, Georgia, the conference
recommended that the State Bankers
Association take steps to raise fund
for assisting deserving students to
complete college course in agrl-
culture or home economics This
conference, recognizing the valuable
work being done by county agricul-
tural and home demonstration agents,
also went on record as favoring the
employment of agents in each county.
At the Raleigh, North Carolina, CON
ference the pressing problem, in addl-
ton to loans for worthy students, was
held to be encouragement OF the farm
er to practice greater crop diversified
ton. The conferees felt that the first
big step was to get farmers at least
to produce sufficient vegetables, fruit
milk, meat and poultry to live on
