HELLO, MARS' Hero comes Marconi, Ho inventor t l" wiri'tcsi tf'ii'ornnhv. ?hn cavu r>.? i.> firm in 'h.> belief that signals ho has sent from his powerful el-'ct. 10 wi'iv answero bv Mars, the ni if"l | lam t to the oa- th. It is the intention to conth.ue the experiments of signaling until some definite results are obtained. Mr. Macbeth, the London manager of Mr. Marconi's wireless company, is enthusiastic in the belief that Mars can be communicated with and he and Marconi will use all the means that science will afford to achieve t'hs great result. As Mars is 50,000,000 miles away Marconi's undertaking seems stupendous, if not ubsurd, but strange things have happened since the invention of the telegraph by Morse in 1837. There has been steady improvement along all lines'of human endeavor and the prophecy of "Mother S.hipton" that "carriages without horses shall ride" anticipating the automobile. Flying in tin- air was also among her prophecies and perhaps other wonders now acconmlished but then i yarded as ?osurd and vidi u'eUS So don t r.iake fun of Marconi and his efforts t i talk to Mais II - may find a rac" o" people un there move intelligent hnn we are. Tilt MUSCLE SHOALS PROJECT Some of the farmers organizations are urging the prompt acceptance by the government of Henry Ford's offer for the Muscle Shoals plant. They realize that the manufacture of fertilizer at Muscle Shot; s will be a irrent boon ?<? tho . ? - ..........K Illicit?^ of the country. This in addition to the wonderful possibilities that may he developed by having such a great organization located in the South. The advance in the price of cotton, if kepi, will enable the fanners of the South to see day light ahead. Not only will the advance help the cotton farmer, but the country merchant and all liner of business will enjoy the prosperity,. sure to follow. As an exchange puts it: "The effect of the recent rise in the price of cotton will be felt in every phase of industry in the South?in every home and at every hearthstone." ADVERTISING FOR A LEADER A well informed politician, writing to the press after a visit to Washington city says: "Never was the time when le idership was so necessary, never was the Republican party so bankrupt in leadrship, and it is the absence of leadership more than anything else that hampers Mr. Harding." If President Harding had the mental ability and the political sagacity of his predecessor in the White House he would be his own leader. OUR LUXURIES The candy bill of this < ountrv last year was $ j()S,( ()(),umO. In this connection it is proper to state that another luxury, cigarettes, produced more tax revenue than freight transportation; as much as all beverages, distilled and soft; live' times as much as jewelry of all descriptions, and fifteen million more than all other forms of tobacco together, including smoking and chewing. A FOURTH CLASS POSTMASTFR Here is a littl6 poem by Dr. C. J. I Gose, postmaster at Kimlerhook, j on? . .i\e niumy, Illinois, who calls himself a first class fourth ela.-s postmaster. This is the poem he sent to Postmaster General Hays: A Fourth Class Postmaster I do wish that Mister Hays Could see my sweet and charming ways And how polite and nice 1 am W hen some guy comes to mail a j ham How sweetly to those nuts 1 smile When they are asking all the while For stuff they've bought from SearsRoebuck Ti whom they sent one lonesome buck.

But yet I have to smile and say, "Your package did not come today." j And when they draw an ugly sigh As if to say?"I think you lie;" 1 spread them one elastic grin , And say, " 'Twill soon be comin' in.": If Mister Hays would come and see | The way some folks are treating me I konw, full well, that he would sob And he would let me keep my job He'd say?"Dear Doe, if you'll stay here | I'll boost your pay two beans per j year." , I KODAK FINISHING?Our improved mechanical devices enable us to give you the quickest possible service.

Paul Knolls, M.D. H ejllh Officer Oranpebu<> County The greatest ideal that can inspire and direct any body of people is that one which leads to the betterment of mankind. This complex life, which civilization has developed for as,may be summarily divided into certain distinct phnses. Without intention of being arbitrary, one might say I that man's life is essentially the sum , of his mental, moral and physical well-being. In the consideration of these vital factors we will see that one is neglected in large part. In the development of the minds of the youth of America, great ad\ ancemont has been attained coincident with national standardization of the essential factors in education. 1 ')ur public and private institutions of learning.while far from ideal,do meet the emergencies of our present day social, economic and political life ami in the main are satisfactory to the greater mass of the people. From our ' earliest intelligence starts our religi ious training. The first complicated sentence taught to the infant is usually a prayer. The sects, creeds and organizations are in great numbers and well organized, while the AngloSaxon civilization has not brought with it the pinnacle of morality yet .it is obvious that the field of religion is crowded with men and women of zeal and ability and with time they will evolve the greatest issue which man has to face. Now there remains '.hat great domain which is purely physical. Since no life is even comparatively complete or well rounded if this phase is not nrouerlv consider ed, and since moral and mental well being1 are, in large part, dependent upon the physical status of the man, we cannot give too great consideration to such an important factor. Now the physical side of mantis well within that domain of the profession which deals with the curative art. Yet the hopes of medicine are not confined to the treatment of the individual. Unfortunately the physical! has too long treated the individud after he has fallen ill to some trended disease. This is exactly op.osite to the plan to abolish ignorance and vice. We do not wait until one is an adult to begin an education or to teach religion. We do in all cases care for the individual cases but the idea to prevent ignorance imi vice hy early instruction. Yet in onnection with that all important factor,our health, the idea has never successfully pervaded the public omd That this is no fault of medical ujii goes without saying. '1 he public v< exactly what they want. Unfor' vm* 'v we are not gifted with a health conscience. Religious training gives us the laws of morality; the rate gives us certain laws respecting our relation with our neighbor, t at our body, our health is ours to do with as we choose and if we mistreat it we do not suffer either the anger of the law of the land nor twines of conscience. Civilised people have been content to pass anti-spitting laws in public places, doing away .. ;.u 1.1:? v. mi jjuuiic urunting cups and laying i'lvvn certain regulations concerning contagious diseases and then to sit back in snug satisfaction that they avo done a very wonderful thing. It must be admitted that these regulations are prolific of great good and are truly commendable yet they rep resent only the A B C of preventive medicine. The great war has taught us many i i.? 1 ' ? *' * , . .MiiiB, it iniips uic one^ wnicn will (give to posterity the greatest good are entirely medical in consideration. Preventive medicine, as applied to large groups of people, has been ihown definitely and conclusively,not to L?e an idle dream of some visionary idealist but a potent and applicable principle. The public, generally speaking, is always a number of years behind science and more especially medical science. The most striking example c I' thus is shown by the fact that the miasmic theory is still held by thousands of people, con666 cures Biliousness. 40 jB?awnAUK>ai ?tiara IMBM The Got Is Advancing.

Yet j the time is i-nreJy ripe to expose such fallacies to the very individual ana | ?> get hit- cooperation as one of the ( mass, to assist in the removal of the real conditions which da cause "lev-' ers." As a matter of l'act the time is ' rapidly contin^ whe 1 the individual . cannot pasi judgment on these mat- | ters. The freedom uf the the ' land! of the free' does i?"t allow one to maintain anything which n ay be or ( is a menacv, to ms neighbor's health ( or happiness. Increasing density of ( population and the swift readjustments of civilization to changing conditions and modes of living has caused the older individualism of Arne | rican life to surrender to collective' | or social modes of control and action, j | This transition is not affected without j a struggle. No one gives up a privilege, even though it be odious, without a protest. Yet we have seen such ! vast and er bracing movements sweep ' across all opposition such as national 1 prohibition, woman suffrage, com-j oulsory education and many other things as important and affecting the daily life of the individual. Malaria, hookworm, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and infant diarrhoel diseases are the big headliners that are ravishing the life blood of our great country. All these are absolutely preventable. Then is it not a most terrible crime to allow them to-per ist? Too long have we tolerated 1 these dreadful conditions. Our su-j pinencss constitutes an offense against public welfare that is measured by human lives. Since we know | * that each of these conditions persist j1 and increase because our individual j 1 homes do not have the proper sanita- * tion and cleanliness, the crime comes to each home. We may lind homes ' that are surrounded with all that our ' ereat civilization has developed for ' the comfort of man and one that is ^ an embodiment of culture and lux- ' ili-v In 11... i ' . ... vitv i7nvi\ %vtiiu ui tnuc nome, we too often find conditions that do * not coine up to common decency. 1 . Perhaps the one great force that op- f jcrates against the correction of such ' a condition is the intense conservatism that pervades that home. Famil- * .rity breeda contempt and that family ' has been accustomed to live under 1 these conditions and their fathers and * their father's father did so and since comfort is not materially increased in 1 proportion to the labor expended, we would lind that, in many cases, the L family would not only not cooperate c in removing the condition but would 1 resent the inference that their fathers j had not been decent and that thev c iii turn had not exercised intelligent <J propriety in the maintenance of " their establishment. The point at issue is that one need not point at the 1 poor and so-called ignorant as the 1 harborers of diseases and bad conditions, they can be found on Mr. !' Roherfelds place as well as on poor 11 John's place. Statistics concerning the incidence ( of the various diseases and the toll ( I of human lives each year, I regard t i.s out of place here. Yet to the student, he knows alreadv; to the in, . r j teltigcnt thinker 1 would invito hiir. i to investigate; to every one I will dei elare th it IP . mimtiliit i- *~ 1 down for you to iako up The solu: tion is obvious.
