The Alabama, Tennessee & Northern Railroad corporation is operating about POO miles of railroad, running from Reform, Ala, which is about 50 miles west of the Birmingham district and about 50 miles south of the east and west line of the Frisco railroad and about 75 miles south of the Illinois Central railroad at Haleyville, south to Calvert, Ala, a point on the South ern railway approximately 30 miles north of sMobile.
 This line runs through the five coun- ties of Mobile, Washington, Choctaw, Sumter and Pickens, and is success fully operating and serving a very pro-s ductive timber section and farming DOT tion of these counties.
 1t was constructed and has always been operated by John T. Cochrane, president, with headquarters in Mobile. The plan of the company was originally to extend from the Birmingham district and west Alabama coal fields to Mo- bile.
 The company owns very valuable ter minal property at the port of Mobile and in order to insure and aid the port development authorized by the state of Alabama Mfr. Cochrane, owning land individually which was essential to. this

 Yet there is nothing more convinc- ing than material narration. The real story of the growth of the eastern shore is told in the operation today of five steamers, maintaining daily schedule between lthe shore points and Mobile. This number is needed to care for inter-Mobile and across the bay traffic.
 Upward of $500 persons cross the bay and return in an average week, during the summer season. This was not true five years ago, when the eastern shore had less to offer. The change is a recent one and one that

 Mir. Cochrane is also receiver of the Birmingham & Southwestern railroad, having been appointed by Judge Henry D. Clayton of United States district court, middle district of Alabama. He is operating this road with W. M. Blount as co-recefver. This is a 5O- mile line extending from Union Springs through Milstead, .Tallassee and to Eclectic, serving Bullock, Macon and Elmore counties.

 Steamers engaged in eastern shore traffic, five in number, are the Bay Queen, the Eastern Shore, the New Daphne, the Crescent City, and the Magnolia. Reviewing their schedules lit Is found one can leave Mobile at most any desired time of the day; the return schedule is equally as accom- modating.
 The Fairhope Transportation and Excursion company, operating the Bay Queen and the. Eastern Shore, has boats leaving Mobile daily at 9 a.. m. and 3 80 p. m. for Fairhope; leaving Fairhope for Mobile at a. n1.i and at 5 80 p. m. On Saturdays, for the especial convenience of business men

PAYS TO ADVERTISE

THE little shops which line the
L streets in Florence have marvel
ously attractive displays. The Ital-
ian has an eye for color and proper
ton and he uses all his skill in the
ARRANGEMENT of his goods. One enters
the shop with interest and enthusiasm
only to find that it is case of few, II
any bananas. The little dinky show
case In the dark interior is almost
empty Every thing is in the window.
There is little or no stock in reserve.
You go ont little disappointed; you
had expected much and found little.
1t pays to advertise, and many pub
lie and professional men go into 1t ex-
tensively. Hughes was one Of these.
He had a fine front and an impressive
manner. He never went out of town
without a detailed mention in the local
paper. He never did anything or said
ANYTHING or contemplated doing or say
ing ANYTHING that did not receive dou-
ble-headed attention from the press
"Our distinguished citizen, the Hon.
w i Hughes" etc. You know the
rest. He may have bought baby
buggy or had tooth pulled. but he
believed in advertising. The only trou-
Bile was that when you got inside his
Intellectual shop, the showcase was
empty. His display was all in the
window.
Bill Milliken was very different. He
was shy and reticent in conversation
and unaggressive in meeting people
His little dark office was reached by
a rickety stairway which had seldom
felt the touch of a broom. The sign
that announced to the public "Wil-
liam MllIiEen. Attorney was painted
in black and could hardly be read.
Riffs show window was very badly ar
ranged His advertisements were
noorly written. But when you got into
his establishment and talked 10 him
a while. you found he had the goods
beautiful things which he could at
tractively display. The facts were
that Bin knew more than any other
LAWYER in the county. Ten minutes of
his advice was worth more than an
hour of Hughes. He simply didn't
know how TO advertise.
AS said ii pays 10 advertise. and
some men do too little of 1t. but If you
do advertise. you ought to have the
goods.

SCARLET FEVER

SCARLET fever is called "chil-

if you have it when you are child
and don't die you'll live TO grow
up and die of some other disease.
1t is one of the so-called "resplra-
tory diseases" 1t is taken by breath

name from the scarlet rash which APP
pears about the third day.
Calling scarlet fever a "children's
disease" does not mean that it is harm
less. Any disease which kills 5000
children every year. as scarlet fever
does. can hardly be considered of no
importance.
Scarlet fever is highly contagious
and very dangerous disease.
How do children get it? From other
children who have it or have had it;
by drinking milk from dairy where

THE newspapers report another
4 case of botulism in which a num-
Der of people were poisoned. several
fatally. The cause in this case was
a jar of ripe olives.
On account of the strange name
which has been given TO this kind OF
poisoning, many people regard it as
something new. This is by no means
the case. For centuries past, the peas
ants in some parts of Germany suf-
fered from what is called sausage
poisoning" Sausages made of the
blood liver and brain Of animals,
mixed with beans, peas. and season
ing We're stuffed into pieces of the in
testines of the animals and then
smoked so as to preserve them during
the winter. Often when the sausages
were eaten severe poisoning followed,
entirely different from that following
the eating of ordinary spoiled" food.
In 1895. Belgian physician found
that this poisoning was caused by the
growth of vegetable germ, which is
not found In the human body but
which grows on fruits and vegetables.
When these vegetables are canned or
used in making sausages, these germs
extremely dangerous. This germ.
which is called the Bacillus Botulinus
or sausage germ, is found almost
everywhere
Unlike most poisons botulism poison
does not affect its victims at once. the
effects usually becoming apparent ten,
twentyfour, thirty-six or even forty
eight hours after eating the infected
food. Neither does the poison always
nauseate the victims, allowing them to
throw It off. The patient becomes
paralyzed, sometimes blind, grows
rapidly weaker and generally dies in
a few days The poison is usually
fatal. In 100 cases reported, 454 per-
sons were poisoned of whom BOZ died.
In one case, II died out of 10 persons
who were poisoned.
In all cases. botulism followed the
eating of canned or bottled goods. In
some cases the food was home canned,
using what is called the cold-pac.s
method
Naturally, the American Gamers
association, the California fruit grow
ers and olive producers were not only
deeply interested but greatly dis.
turbed In the last few years they
have spent a great deal of money try
ing TO find out how to prevent botH-
lism.
The United States bureau of chem
istry has issued this warning: Don't
buy any canned goods where the ends
of the can bulge out. snap back wien
pressed in or feel loose, where the
can leaks or has loose SEE ms. Such
cans have leaked air. and the con-
tents are dangerous. Don't use any
food, either from cans or bottles,
which are moldy, cloudy or discolored
or which have a bad odor. Don't use
any food from cans that are black or
corroded inside. If it is spoiled, throw
it out where no animal can get II. If
in doubt, add half as much boiling
water an boil half an hour. Moist
heat will kill the germ"

which price was regarded as steady to
10 cents higher with the average
showing q scent advance over Mon
days bulk price of $7.45 Local kill
ers, however, declined to enter the
market on this scale and their buyers
withdrew after having been refused
hogs at their bid OF $745 or steady
prices. Shippers took more than half
the supply in the first half hour Of
trading, after which local killers re-
entered the market. With competition
slackened, some droves changed hands
at concessionary figures, number Of
droves having sold at S7.45. The bulk
of sales, however. was made at $3.50.
Sows and pigs were generally steady
with sows selling down from $3.50 and
pigs down from 81. though rarely
higher than $e75. Altogether 1000
head were received at the yards, in.
Guiding Mondays carry-over of 101.
