Typhoid vaccinations will be re-.

DIR. j. D. Bowling, health officer,
who received a letter in the morning
from DR.. S. W. Weleh. state health

Bowling said, in unlimited amounts.
Vaccinations were suspended in De-

to nearly $4,000 a year. The program
of the city and county departments
of health, which includes minimizing

at once, DR.. Bowling said.
All vaccines, Dr. Bowling said,
must be manufactured under licenses
from the United States public health
service and specimens from each lot
are submitted to the hygienic labora-
tory for thorough testing before be-

Almost Million Yearly
Spent in Grass Seed
for u. S. Golf Courses

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Golf clubs will
use 100000 pounds of grass seed
this year for reseeding the $500 links
and fer planting approximately 200
new courses, according to the esti-
mate made today by a seed dealer.
The older courses, comprising some
100000 acres, use an average of 400
pounds a year, while the new links
require 5000 pounds for the first
sowing. Most of the seed used for
fairways is bluegrass and red top.
while on the putting greens rarer
grasses of the best variety find
favor.
To obtain the supply necessary, the
total production is combed by seed
men, who select best stock. This
choice seed sells close to so cents
pound, so that the outlay of golfers
for grass seed is about $1,000,000 a
year. 4
The department OF agriculture has
discovered that the surest and quick
est way to produce putting greens is
by rolling into the prepared ground,
cuttings of grass, pulled from the
propagating beds. The buried grass
roots sorout freely and sturdily. maxi

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a
Brisk Purgative With Gallo
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 sfull effectiveness
until the liver is made thoroughly ac-
tive. That is why the first step in
the treatment Is the new, nausealess
calomel tablets called Calotabs, which
are free from the sickening and
weakening effects of the old style
calome1. Doctors also point out the
fact that an active liver may go a
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 on the tongue
at bed time, with swallow of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea nor
the slightest interference with your
eating, pleasure or work. Next morn
ing your cold has vanished, your
liver is active, your system is puri-
fled and you are feeling fine, with a
hearty appetite for breakfast. Genu-
inc Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed Packages, price thirty-five
cents for the large, family package:
ten cents for the small, vest-pocket
size.-Adv.

trail Y. M. c. A. Friday night, when
the two meet in their first tilt of the

Both teams are in the prime of con-

to be the best game that has been
played in Huntsville this season.
Dallas has one of the strongest and
fastest quintets in this section of the
country, and has only met defeat
twice this year, both coming from
strong out-of-town teams.
Central has shown great i'm
provement in the last two weeks of
play, and a great effort is being

BROADcAsTING GOLF THINKERS
By CHICK EVANS


What does man who thinks a
lot about golf really think?
got to wondering about that
the other day, and it occurred to
me to ask some of them. 1t struck
me that If the men who are forever
thinking on how the grand old game
might be improved would express
their thoughts / might broadcast
them through this column SO that
all of us could profit.
A few of the men | wrote to have
replied. Others will write later. One
of the first ones to write me was
Charles H. Sabin, chairman If the
board of directors, Guaranty Trust
company, New York His mind runs.
1 observe, not to specializing on how
to help the game, but rather to this:
How can the game be of more help
to mankind. Mr.. Sabin- contr butes
a thought which perhaps was not
meant too seriously by him. but
nevertheless he opens wide field
of discussion which may easily
enough be taken more and more Sc
riously by business executives N the
near future. Mr.. Sabin says:
Compulsory Playing
1.-THE greatest good might be de-
rived from golf and for golf, 1
think, If all banks and trust COM
panies in the country should make
rule requiring all bank officers
from vice president up to play golf
at least two days a week."
William M. Reay. comptroller of
the International Harvester COM
pany and president of the Briergate
Golf club, Chicago, says:
Il think the game can be greatly
improved by building extra tees.
This gives a chance to give the regu-
lar tees a rest. Where only one tee
is provided it has to stand pretty
rough usage. There is something
of a growing idea, apparently, to.
have one big tee, but 1 think tie
use of two or more smaller tees
is a better plan. The different tees.
incidentally, may be so placed as to
make a somewhat different tee shot
from each tee. This makes the game
more charming and the course more
interesting and alluring. We are
constructing extra tees at Briergate
this winter
The Greens Section
W. f. Brooks, vice president of

to every club of joining the greens
section of the United States Golf as
ISOLATION. lie says:
Bring to the attention of manag-
ing officials and especially to The at
tention of the green's keeper and
greens committee of every club that
for the very low fee charged the
value of membership in the greens
section of the national body is the
biggest golf bargain on earth. VERY
club that joins this section is as
sured OF everything the U. S. G.
can do to provide the members with
a good, well-preserved golf coure."
r. G. Strother of Louisville, Ky"
asserts that the governing officials
of golf could make one move that
would bring joy to golfers every
where and improve the game by a
margin. This, Mr..
Strother says. is it:

and drop it in the middle of the

Dr. Grant neither reCanted nor Of

CrimSonS Take Ten-Polnt
Lead in Last Few Min

LEXINGTON, Ky Jan. 25.-(Spe-
cial.)lThe University Of Alabama
basketball team, showing the same
clean and fast teamwork that fea
tured the Centre game Wednesday
night. tonight defeated the Univer-
slty of Kentucky WILD Cat squad, As
to S5, in one of the fastest and
closest games ever witnessed in
Lexington.
Alabama jumped to the front at the
start of the battle and scored 10
points before Kentucky could count
once. With the score 10 to 2 against
them, the Wild Cats hit terrific
pace and ran the count to 1916 until
the last 20 seconds Of play, when
Carter sank two free throws. giving
Alabama lead of two points at the
close of the half.
Kentucky came back strong in the
second half. and grabbed four-point
: lead. For fully Is minutes the score
seesawed back and forth with each
team taking a momentary advantage,
left, the Alabama outfit went goal
shooting crazy, and scored IL points
in a hurry.
Kentucky seemed to go to pieces in
the last 10 minutes of the encounter,
and after running even, allowed the
Crimsons to increase their lead to ten
points, which advantage they had
when the final whistle sounded.
Although the score would indicate
a marked superiority for the winners,
the game would show differently,
for never were two more evenly
matched teams put together on the
floor. Referee Boyer assessed numer-
E Gus fouls on the Kentucky team be-
cause of the yelling of the crowd.
e This gave Alabama four points,.
The passing attack of the Grim
sons was magnificent. The red sweat
cred men would pass right through
8 the Kentucky boys to the goal and
!, seldom did they miss a shot.
The game was replete with spec
tacular shots from all angles of the
floor, with Carl Heifkel, diminutive
forward of Kentucky, ringing the
basket from afar. McGauly was chief
star on the Alabama Ornament, his
. total for the evening being seven
field goals. and, besides, he played a
beautiful floor game. Carter was
right there when it came to tossing
long goals. Starbler connected with
five out of six attempts at free
throws. The game was very clean and
only one substitution was made, and
that by Kentucky in the last few
minutes of the game. In Chuck Rice
