Only Hats and Shoes Visible
In Fifth Avenue Easter Parade

drape the hats. especially the brown
and black models which were hung
about with lace of the same color
or of gold.
Fur Jackettes Popular.
Fur jackettes were favorite wraps
among many of the paraders, although
even these looked cold with the Their
mometer down toward the 10 degree
mark. One or two jackettes of white
coney were noticed, but they were
few and far between in spite of the
efforts of some of the New York
shops TO press their sale.
Skirts in nearly every instance
were long and deliberately draIed and
there was a remarkable preponder-
ance of the printed crepes in evidence.
In many instances skirts were still
further adorned with flowing drap-
cries falling to or below the skirt
hem on one or both sides.
The striking feature of the Fifth
avenue vista when ones eyes drop
ped 10 watch another's step, was the
preponderance of colored hosiery.
Sand was the shade most worn and
was frequently combined with blue
shoes of glazed kid. This combina-
ton of sand and blue or gray and
blue also was repeated many times
in the dresses worn. Shoes in nearly
all instances showed return to the
French heel with elaborate cutouts
which left little more than o sole and
heel and myraid of straps. Many
examples had the straps fastened firm
ly and had elastic inserts to permit
the shoe TO be slipped one.
Three Impervious To Cold.
Between DIR. Percy Stickney Grants

PatricB's cathedral. and that is
considerable distance both in creed
and distance. only three spring suits
without winter wraps to protect them
were in evidence. The wearers looked
so shivery that envy was lost in COM
passion.
Perhaps the most striking costume
on the avenue was dress of gray
poriet twill with long tailored coat
having fur collar and flaring cuffs.
Each side of the shirt of this coat
which had heavily wadded lining for
warmth was covered with heavy en-
broidery of self-color composing con-
centric circles like a snail shell.

4 MULTITUDE OF WOMEN
RECOMMEND II

The strongest recommends ton pos
sible for any medicine TO have is the
sound testimony borne by the vast
nultitudes of women who have used
it. 1t has been proved that 9S out
of every 100 women once ill with all
ments that caused suffering and de-
SPAR have been restored to the joys of
health by Lydia L. Pinkham's Vege-

ord shows its power over the ills of
women, and the letters of recommen-
dation we are continually publishing
in this paper should induce every all
ing woman to try it.

 SUCCESSFUL FIGHT. AGAINST DISEASE
Deaths From Malaria, Ty- phoid and PeIIagra Cut More Than Half in 3
 Years Time
J. c. NICHOLS
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU ! THE AGE-HERALD Florence, Ala. Jan

The past year has been most suc- cessful one for the Lauderdale county health unit in it's fight against preventable diseases. Like most other health units in southern counties the fight has been waged principally against malaria, typhoid and pellagra, as those three dis eases are peculiar to the south
 The health unit was established here in 1918 and since that time the number of deaths from typhoid has been reduced from 300 to 372. In 1917 53S persons died from malaria and last year the number had been reduced to 231. Pellagra deaths dur ing the same period were reduced from 1,075 to 366. The health de- partment through it's efficient per- sonnel. has carried on persistent campaign along educational lines for the eradication of these diseases. Houses through the rural districts have been screened. sanitary privies constructed stagnant pools and other breeding places for mosquitoes oiled and people have been taught the necessity of eating the right sort of diet as a preventative measure in combating pellagra.
 Tubercular Work
 It is estimated by the United States department in Washington 1 that each death causes an economic loss to the community in which it occurs of s1.700 and each person who becomes i'll causes loss of s10O. Ac- cording to this estimate deaths from all causes in this county in 1918 en- tailed a loss of s765. 200. which fig ures were reduced last year to $246,300.
 Although the campaign against tu- berculosis has been carried on dili- gently and has been highly success l full in comparison with results achieved in other communities deaths from this cause last year were more than twice as many as the number of men from this county killed in the World war.
 l Lauderdale stands near the head of the list of counties of this state in the matter of eXterminating venereal disease and according to government estimates. Alabama was freer from such diseases last year than any other state in the union. $IO,1OO FOR COUNTY The amount of money expended for i health work here last year was ! $1O,100. 5000 of which was appro- priated by the county, Sl 200 by the city and $3000 by the state and gov ernment. The amount paid by Che city and county amounted to less than IT per capita.
 ! The health unit consists of L.. w D. Hubbard health officer; J. P. ! Anderson. sanitary inspector: Miss Clara Stone. health nurse, and Mrs. 1 Ethel Miller office assistant A school nurse will be employed in the near future with funds raised through the sale of health bonds and Christmas seals.
 During the year there were 4.000 presons in the rural districts inoecu- l lated against typhoid and every case of this disease occurred in homes
 where the families were too poor to provide screens and other precau- itionary measures. The matter of providing funds for the work of the department will

According to J. A.

This will result in readjusted salaries for the rlmber of employees, larger quarters and a general inn provement in the service.
 There has only been two post masters here since this office was open. the first being Mrs. Amelia Gorgas, mother of the late General Gorgas. and the present post mas ter, J. A. Anderson. who has held the position for the past 15 years.

VILE WAGE FIGHT ON TAX EXEMPTION OF INFANT INDUSTRIES
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU 1
 THE AGE-HERALD


 It goes without saying that fight. against the exemption of in fant industries from taxation will be started at the very beginning of the legislature. In fact, several mem hers of the legislature were elected cn platforms which contained such a plank. The proposal will be that all owners of property, corporations, companies. associations and in- dividua(s, bear their proportion of the burden without any allowance for the development of industries.
 But this plan will not be accepted without a battle. Already certain textile companies are planning to es- tablish plants in Montgomery. A tentative understanding has been reached with them. One of their re- quirements has been cheap power in sufficient quantities. This has been met by the sale of the properties of the two electric ct mpanies to the Alabama Power company, subject to the apprival of the public service commission.
 IL is not doubted that an effort will be made to exempt these cotton mills from taxation during the pe- riod If their development. The ar gument will be that with d short exemption from taxation the indus try will be so developed as to be a big re snnue producer to the state in a short time.
