Patients’ Testimonials
Having received their freedom from

are loud in their praise of the James
Treatment. Read their testimonials:
Cured of Drug Habit
“Gentlemen—When my husband and l
entered your Sanatorium, February 28th
last, my husband had been using Mor
phine eighteen years and I had been using
It thirty years—half of my life. It now
gives me great pleasure to state that we
were successfully treated and cured of the
Drug Habit In four weeks, thanks to the
James Sanatorium and all connected with
j / It for our fine cure, for every one—the
•f: president. Doctors, Nurses and Servants—
were all so sympathetic, kind and thought
ful that when it came time to say good
bye It was with much regret, for we did
bate to leave; It seemed to us a heaven
on earth. We miss the dear friends we
made while there. We feel so thankful to
the James Treatment and Sanatorium
that we want to get out In the world and
tell every Drug user to go to you for re
lief before it is too late. The Sanatorium
was full when we left, and they were
still coming in. How many have you
now? It made our hearts glad to see so
many Whiskey and Drug victims leave for
I, home cured and praising God for having
sent them to the .lames Sanatorium. We
can truthfully say that if anyone wants to
get cured of the Drug or Whiskey habit,
they can do so at the James Sanitarium,
and we urge all who are in need of treat
■■Jv. ment to go to your Sanatorium. We feel
so happy and free to be able to enjoy life
as normal beings once more. At our ages
see never believed that we could get re
I; lief. Mr. McCauley is sixty-six years of
age and I am sixty. Notwithstanding
this fact, we were taken off the Drug
and ready to return home at the expira
tion of four short weeks. We will always
have a tender feeling In our hearts for all
connected with the Sanatorium. And now
we must close'. May God be with you in
your good work, is our honest prayer.
Tour true friends,
“MR. AND MRS. S. D. M'CAUDET.
“Potts Camp, Miss.. March 31. 1915."
Cured of Alcohalism
Gentlemen—I have thought for the last
year or two that I would give you a tes
timonial in regard to your treatment for
% the Whiskey habit. I took your treatment
In September, 1906, and T had been drink
ing off and on for four years. When 1
arrived at your Sanatorium I only
Weighed one hundred and twenty pounds,
slept and ate very little; In fact, the only
appetite I had was really for whiskey. X
have never touched a drop since I fin
ished my treatment—in fact, have had
no desire whatever for liquor in any form.
I sleep and eat well, have gained in
weight and my general health is fine. I
can truthfully say that if anyone desires
to be cured of the Whiskey habit they can
find relief at your Sanatorium, and I sin
cerely recommend this treatment to
everyone reading this letter. I will take
pleasure In answering letters from any
Interested person who may write me.
With best wishes for your continued sue:

James’ Home Remedies
Cost of treatment for alcoholism, to
banco and cigarette habits and neuras
D thenia is dependent upon age and physical
condition, etc.
can ascertain within 24 hours where that
?*oldler is and what his condition is.
This Is made possible through a card
catalogue that all hut beggars descrip
tion; it in probably the most perfect thing
of its size and kind in existence. In its
creation two other systems have had to
be discarded as Inadequate, and the work
and pains lavished on them duplicated.
In its maintenance 80 persons are engaged,
while its Inventor, Count Schwerin, works
12 hours a day overseeing things.
Each day dozens and scores of lists of
names pour into Count Schwerin's de
partment of the war ministry in the Doro
thea nstrasse, here in Berlin. These lists
give the f ecessary information for filling
cut the cards, so that each shall contain
the name and forename of the prisoner,
! is service branch, regiment and com
pany, the place and date of his capture,
and the place where he is held. If he is
wounded, the nature of his wounds and
the hospital where he is are added.
Sorted Like Type
Scores of young women fill out the
cards, which then go to sorters, under
the inspection of a man who in peuce
times is a head instructor in one of Ber
lin's higher schools. Before the sorters
stand wooden oases built after the fash
ion of type cases, but deeper. It was
the sight of compositors "throwing in"
type that led Count Schwerin to adopt
these cases.
The first set of sorters take the cards
just as they come, in alphabetical con
fusion. from the writing room, and divide
them according to the intial letter from
A to 7a. Other sorters then take the A’s
and subdivide them systematically—into
Aa, Aaa, Ab, Aba. Abb, and so on. Thou
sands of cards are sorted and filed daily
—for the list of prisoners never stops
growing.
Tlie names also are divided according
to nationality, and put. away in the cases
that flank all four walls of three rooms.
There are between 25,000 and 30,000 Bel
gian names, from lfi.'iOO to 18,000 English
names, and hundreds of thousands of
French and Russian. With but one ex
ception the Servians. Montenegrins and
Japanese who are prisoners in Germany
are civilians of military age interned
here.
Approximately JWV) letters come to Count
Schwerin's "Kartothek" daily—requests
for Information about relatives or friends.
It is the boast and pride of this officer
that no request remains unanswered long
er than 24 hours—48 at the very outside
when the letter or inquiry is in difficult
Russian.
To facilitate relatives in getting infor
mation about the foreign soldiers, how
ever, Count Schwerin has forwarded the
complete data about prisoners as fast as
received at the war ministry and filed in
the card catalogue to the governments at ,
London, Paris and St. Petersburg and to
the Red Cross headquarters at Geneva,
Brussels, Copenhagen and Berlin.
'jitc i diat' names
One of the most interesting features of
the card catalog work is the fact that
"nwmy man give false names and data be
cause they are ashamed of being in cap
tivity and do not want anyone In their
native land to know that they have been
taken prisoner.
An interesting example of this came to
light recently in a case concerning 19
yen r-old Prince Chimay of Belgium. He
hud enlisted under an assumed name and
was captured. lie was put In a prison
camp as a private soldier. In due time
inquiries about the young man came in.
Ills name did not appear in the card
catalogue and before the young man was
found it had been necessary 'to hunt out
every soldier of his regiment, scattered
in half a dozen camps all over oDrmany,
to take them before a military court,
and demand of them under oath what
they knew about his case.
Count Schwerin's “Kartothek” contains
between 900,000 and 1,000,000 names. Two
or three hundred thousand of the latest
captives thus are missing. In a month’s
time, however, those will be duly cata
logued and stowed away for future ref
erence.
So much for the catalog about the
living soldiers of the eight countries now
at war with Germany. A smaller cata
logue contains as far as available the
names of the dead—supplied in a variety
of ways, but chiefly by means of the
metal tags worn by the soldiers around
their necks.
This list is incomplete for a variety of
reasons, but partly because many of the
soldiers, especially the French, take the
tags off, through supersititon. and throw
them away. Even at that, there are In
the war ministry building boxes on boxes
full of the little tin disks.
The French tags are clearly stamped
with the soldier's name, regiment and
home station. The English tags are far
less clear, and sometimes cannot bo made
out at all. The Belgian disks are fairly
plain, and those of the Canadians, made
of leather, are good. The Russians rarely
wear any. and it is an almost hopeless
task to try to keep track of their dead.
In thousands of cases, of course, the
men fall in such places that the Ger
mans can search their garments before
burying the bodies. All valuables, keep
sakes and possessions are then tied up
and forwarded to Berlin, where the treas
ury of the war ministry takes charge of
them.
An exact list of the contents of each
package is made and forwarded to the
department which Count Schwerin heads,
and the possessions then are sent to the
war ministries in France, England or Rus
sia, which are best able to see that the
valuables come Into the possession of
the rightful relatives of the fallen sol
di era
The huge catalogue has grown to be
Count Schwerin’s “pet,” his greatest pride
and care. Though past middle age, ho
gladly gives long hours and infinite pa
tience to its extension and upkeep. Re
cently he desired to go into the field for
Rctive service, but it was found that In
tlie months he has been in the war min
istry he had made himself praotically in
dispensable, and that no one could be
found who could take up the catalogue
where he would have to leave ofT.

i_The Beauty of Our Own Mountain Country
Hr Mils. J. B. up'll)
Just below “Lovers’ Leap” on Shades mou ntain
Our own people who have the opportun
ity to tour the west, “fairly rave” over
the scenery, including that of North Caro
lina and other states.
Very few' have ridden 11 miles to see
the beautiful country wrapped around
Shades mountain.
They thus have missed the real gem of
the country in which they live. Their
enthusiasm for this land of ours lies dor
mant, because they have not bit the pure
mountain air that whips in your face at
the altitude of 1100 feet. High enough to
reach the beezes—to feel the purity of tho
glorious atmosphere, yet not too near to
catch the cheerful rays of the sun, or see
them cast shadows on beautiful rocky
heights and fern bordered crevices.
This is a fact of our native mountain
country.
Leaving Birmingham, with its smoke,
industry and beautiful homes as an Im
portant background with an artful fram
ing of nature, the driveway through the
valley, around the slopes that lead to
the ascents, one has an opportunity to
glance over the city, fading from view,
and feci with sympathetic spirit “my
'•ountry.” It is of thee I am seeing—
climbing your highways, and noting your
touch of rustic beauty—it lies on your
soil, and in your mountain veins. Here
I see the birth place, at a distance, of
all the district’s wealth and fame. Here
lies crouched right close to mother earth
the gravel, stone, lime rock and red ore
that has placed our Magic City in Jones'
valley. These particles of native wealth
which peep through the soil on the road
way have started the whistles to blowing
in Jefferson county today. Up to now
we only put a commercial value on the
scenic view—lust at the rate of what we
can dig out of the bowels of the earth.
We have failed to appreciate the beau
tiful world that conceived the wealth.
When the home folks begin to peep over
their native heights they will find on the
level of Shades mountain a strip of beau
tiful country, with great possibilities for
health and recreation.
It is susceptible of being as important
to Birmingham and Alabama as Lookout
mountain is to Chattanooga and Tennes
see The one looks down on the battle
field of Chickamauga over the tombs of
those who wore the blue and the grey.
The other has fought with adversity, suf
fered with a battle of cholera and cessa
tion of boom-times, and her monuments
are seen in the towering buildings of an
infant city.
There are a few year-round homes and
farms, and several summer cottages on
the ridge above Oxmoor, these look down
upon the stacks with curling smoke, com
ing from whence the owls and hawks used
to brood.
There are families living there today,
whose ancestors have lived on the crest
of the mountain for generations. They
know' every bypath and every history of
the locality, and point to spots of
romance, the stories giving a graver hue
to the scene.
There is a “Lover's Leap.” and what
lover fails to leap, even though he sur
vives the pit, he has ventured.
There was a leap to death, so tradition
says. Tho spot not far from the Bluff
Park Inn.
" A huge rock, hanging over a deep preci
pice, holds the atory of a tragic deed.
The end of a serious love affair. The
parties, two first cousins. On the face
of the flat rock is inscribed the story 1n
pathetic verse. The words dug in deep
lines, for 88 years, lacking a few' weeks,
have stood the storm and weather. To
day they serve their purpose and give
the pathfinders food for thought. Beneath
the stone, deep below, are twfo graves,
side by side, unmarked except on the
stone above. Save the covering of the
native ferns, or the shelter of the fallen
leaves, there is nothing, but the story is
here; the names and lines are these:
“August 20, 1827.
“Thomas W. Farrar
“Seraphine F. Farrar
"To sit on rocks, to muse o'er flood and
fall,
Slowly to trace the forests' shady scene;
Where things that own not man’s domin
ion, dwell
And mortal foot hath rarely been."
The couple could not secure parental
consent and preferred to die together—
and ’tie said their spirits haunt the spot
forevermore.
The hotel known as the Bluff Park Inn
is ideally located for rest and cure. Like
everything else that has to start, its be
ginning has been a luckless struggle—
each year it opens and makes ready—but
our home folks want to travel.
Like a candle that flickers in a storm,
the doors open and close. The people have
not. learned the way, but gradually they
are finding the path, and now many fam
ilies are spending their vacation or
Shades mountain, where everything is be
ing done for their comfort and cont^it
ment. It is an ideal place to relax and
rest, and with a dance every Saturday
night there is enough of fun to vary the
quiet they have needed throughout the
week.
The property was purchased about B
months ago by the Ingram Bros., com
posed of R. M. Ingram, Jr., Francis C.
and Henry B. Ingram, who, together oper
ate the house. The lot consists of five
acres, ideally located, overlooking the
beautiful valley, with a splendid view of
small farms at a distance. The water is
supplied by five bored wells and the build
ing Is lighted by their own electric plant.
There is no pretense at style—everything
is simple and wholesome—and the meals
ar» of good variety and well prepared,
with a plenty to satisfy the increasing
appetite of the guests. Mrs. M. L. Scales
is the hostess, and to her the credit is
due for this splendid feature of house
keeping. She 1b tireless in her efforts
to please and gives to the premises the
air of home.
There werrf 150 local people there las!
Saturday for the week-end, and Sun
day morning Mr. Leo Loeb motored out
with his family to breakfast. This only
emphasized the real desire for some spot
nearby, the year round, where those whe
need just such diversion and change could
motor out for a week-end. Then, we fig
ured. what a splendid place for teething
babes, depleted children and worn-out
mothers. Near their own physician, with
in 45 minutes’ comfortable ride of Five
Points, and with a street car operating
more than half-way.
ThiB mountain could be made a sani
tarium for the sick and weary, and a
boon to those who could not leave home
for a long period of time. It could he
made a necessity to Birmingham. Climat
ically, it is equal to the mountains ol
North Carolina, and logically it is adapt
ed to meet the needs of the'folks of the
city.
Mr. Ingram tells me he buys all that
he can from the neighborhood tru*ckeri
to supply the hotel, and that the supply
Is insufficient to the needs. Think of
having to buy chickens from Morris ave
nue. with all of this country around ac
suited to poultry raising, and eggs from
Tennessee. Are we not throwing away
an opportunity? Impoverishing ourselve*
for lack of industry? This range of coun
try is well adapted to trucking, and tc
domestic stock, and it seems an unac
countable mystery to be forced to pull
all or even a part of ones’ supplies up
the mountain when they could be a sourc*3
of revenue to the permanent home
makers.
Mr. Walter B. Fowlkes has an ideal
country home about a mile beyond,
with a bountiful garden, home cured
bacon and hams, a yard full of friers,
with milk and butter In profusion. Be
sides these dally necessities his yard
is one big bouquet of blooming plants
Ho is a Shades mountain crank and
climbs the mountain to and from the
city every day—the year round. This
country is an asset to any city and
Birmingham is gradually waking up
to its beauty and its regions for
health. Nature has outlined the plar
Trials of Prettiness
By ELOISE DOWNING
Up to now I don't think I have ever
looked upon the pretty girl as a sub
ject for sincere commiseration. I don't
know, what’s more, that I am entirely
prepared at the moment to alter the
opinion I have hitherto held, but a
somewhat pathetic letter has set me
thinking along new lines, for she wants
to make me believe that the lot of the
ugly girl Is cast in distinctly pleasant
places as compared with the pretty one.
I admit that there is room for discus
sion, but—
I have never yet met the really
pretty girl who seemed seriously dis
tressed by the advantages Providence
has given her over her sisters. When
the men in a room make a bee line to
her chair, when the fellow’s in the
street watch her admiringly out of the
corners of their eyes, and when peo
ple in a railway carriage fall over each
other in their anxiety to give her a
seat, she seems to bear it with re
nu. rkable fortitude.
But that. I suppose, only accentuates
the heroism of her nature and her de
termination to make the best of a hard
.iol>. Tt's sad indeed to reflect that she
is yearning to be plain, and longing to
c-?ase attracting attention; but it must
l>e so, for my fair correspondent as
sures me it is. M’ves. v
It reminds me, though, that I have
htitrd of this girlish lamentation of its
own beauty and its alleged annoyance
at masculine admiration. T remember
ere now to have walked across a road
on a muddy day with a pretty girl
v. hen stern necessity (nothing else,
mind you) has demanded that her
frreks good eight inches off the
tviound in normal times) should be
raised yet knottier eight—or more.
By the merest accidents, of course,
the "attending circumstances in silk
... 1
I and laces" were enough to dislocate
the traffic, yet 1 have heard her, with
au air of distinct annoyance, complalr
of the way men stare And T, heartlesi
creature, have positively smiled, little
dreaming of the pain she was suffer
ing.
I am furthermore Informed that one
of the hardships of a pretty girl’s life
is that every man she meets wants tc
flirt with her along lines prohibited
in the rules: whereas, when he Is con
templating matrimony he, so she al
leges, looks for something over which
he Is more likely to have the entire
proprietary rights. This again is news
to me.
The part about the flirting I admit
bul. then, we men are but human, and
it. hasn’t taken 1900 years to teach ui
that something we can handle Is mile?
nicer than something we can only look
ai. As rpgards the marriage end ol
the business, may he I’ve been laboring
under a delusion for years past.
Tf I were a pretty grirl I don’t think
T should want to change my lot. But
it is quite within the bounds of prob
ability that, like my correspondent, 1
should often bewail the fact (to other
people): I should dwell on the difficul
ties of beauty, and insist on the trial*
and temptations appertaining- there
to: I should say I shbuld much prefer
to have been born plain, and, knowing
that the age of miracles was past. 1
should always remember to see that
the framework matched the picture.
What do you think?
