car line on almost any terms. This com pany has the cream of all that is here to do business with, and since our people have given them the best of 1t all, it would be folly to get up a quarrel over something that perhaps would never be worth anything to the city as 1t now. stands. There are many citizens who have bought lots in parts of the city away from the car lines with the understanding that they were to erect residences at a cost of $300O to $100OO each. There were at least one hundred and twenty-five of these to be begun right away. Not one or them will be built without a car line. The city, the county and State reve- nues would suffer loss to say nothing of the money 1t would put into circulation, as well as tine general advancement of the city ! do not wish to criticise-any one, but let us all keep our hands off of Birmingham and let her grow Let us all remember that while the street car com pany is perhaps making some m oney out Of their investment, they have contribut
 ed largely to the enhancement of values all over the city and even beyond it's borders by several miles. Still many valuable portions are not yet reached.
 what would South Highlands and North Highland property be worth without these lines of street cars? The city can not continue to grow as it otherwise would under anything short of a liberal policy. Give the company, as a com promise, ninety-nine year franchise, and l, as well as numerous others, believe all Will be well, If this is not done before the new constitution goes into effect the city will have suffered a stroke that 1t will take at least five years to recover from.

dent of hotel. When Paul's breakfast is late, his coffee-slops. and his hash greasy, and perchance heavy; Virginia casts her eyes down to her plate if she be meek, or boldly and defiantly glares over her tea things, if she be self-assert- i've. If the same evening the weary Paul finds his soup a discolored, havorless, tepid water his fried potatoes cold and his beefsteak raw or burned to a crisp, he may indiscreetly refer to the way things were done at the club. refer to the way his mother managed affairs. or lose his temper completely and then well. he either sees tears in Virginia's s eyes or detects metallic sound in Vir- ginia's voice.
 In a word. Virginia has scarce sailed away with Paul on the ship of matrimony, scarce have the strains of the familiar march from Lohengrin'' died away scarce have the orange blossoms that per- fumed the day of departure withered when Mary's wreckage of cut glass wed- ding presents and the odor of Bridget's unsavory connections drive away even the harmonies and perfumes of the day of authorization. It begins down stairs but down stairs 1t will not stay. It per vades the house with the enterprise of boiling cabbage, and Paul, selfish creature that he always Is, has suggestions to of fer in a kindly spirit that Virginia con- siders reflection upon her special sphere the management of the house. Hence irritation ensues and If 1t be not speedily allayed-which can only be done by rem edying the evil-the home ceases to be the haven of rest, the refuge after the storm, and Paul falls from the ideal to the real.
 Now, why Is It that so many homes started under favorable auspices cease to be ideal7 Why is 1t that so many homes are destroyed? Servants-that is what young wives Yill tell you. The bane of households IS the servant ques- they right2
 The management of a household on a sound and economical basis, and there Is no other correct way, Is in itself a business requiring tact. method, head and experience. It involves knowledge of requirements, of weights and measures.

this message. remarked: There is one sentence in Governor Crane's message which makes strange reading for certain good people whe profess t. tell ,.s that capital would build no street railroads for us except on franchises in perpetuity, or for fifty or seyenty-fiye years, which Is about the same thing. It is as follows: No street railway Gin Boston, with the exception of certain privileges heretofore assured to two of them for special req sons, has other than a revokable fran chise in a public way"
 Tn settling this question here, we should all remember two things. First, that Bir- mingham is the best town in the country and will practically be Jefferson County and 500,0oo people before many years have gone. Second, that capital is timid, cow ardIy, and grasping. So cowardly and grasping that when 1t finds safe place to come, 1t is coming whether you want 1t or not.
 And as all this two and one-half mill lions, out of our eleven. which we every now and then are threatened to have spent on us, is coming from Massachus- etts, 1t certainly will not feel mistreated when subjected to the same decent re- straints it receives at home,
 Referring again to the nine or ten land speculators who held mass meeting the other night In order to divert a public utility to private purposes, would 1t not be better citizenship to join in an effort to build up a civic morale that would make all the people happier and better served? Let the people come forward and serve notice in no uncertain terms that there are some things dearer than money. that there are some things spec ulators must not tamper with and 1t is of small consequence to the public at large whether they sell their property or not!

U. F ithbe true that the woman makes the home, 1t Is equally true that III the home makes the man Perhaps <A A word in explanation Is necessary. There are few in any community of any size who are not invited at this season of the year to witness young friends or relatives set out on the voyage, of life as shfpmates in the ship of matrimony, and in large cities It Is somewhat painful to note the frequency with which these ships are wrecked on the reefs of di- vorce. On the day of setting sail the future has scarce a cloud to darlxen the horizon. and hope and confidence fills the heart of bride and groom. Scarce have the days of thetihoneymoon passed when from quarter least expected a cloud, not the size of a.hand, specks the azure of the domestic sky. At first it is laughed at asa of no consequence, but later 1t seemsssto cast its shadow over the new home.
 Man, the breadwinner and purveyor, is off to his laborious quest of the equiva- lent of household necessities; and woman, the breadmaker and manager in chief. is left alone to conduct the household. Bridget, the cook. and Mary, the wait ress and chambermaid, most estimable persons highly recommended by enthusi- astic friends as<indespensable acquisitions to the household of a newly married couple, women warranted to turn hum drum existence Into a delfrfum of rapture, find the young mistress has ideas con cerriinR domestic affairs not conaisten with their own pre-arranged notions. Dis satisfaction ensues and Bridget gives mo- tice. Jewel number one yrenches itself from its setting and the bride begins her iife'e work-a work that puts the stren- uous labors of Sir Lnunfel to shame-the quest for cook.

5 ~Why Homes Are Wrecked ~-~

If raouires more than an idea Of time, of punctuality, of order, of method. Mar keting is in itself a domestic accomplish ment that involves not only a knowledge. of the raw material, but of it's preparation for the table Herein lies the security of the breakfast and dinner tables. If Vir gtnia buys crabs and orders them stuffed, Bridget not knowing the tastes of Paul and Virginia, may serve the shells filled with a composite like concrete, or dry like ashes, or watery like a thick broth. If Bridget sits on the horns of a dilemma and Virginia Is slow in suggestion, the betting would be five to one on a culi- nary failure and Q small financial loss. What is true of crabs Is true of other things Instead of crabs it might have been Yorkshire pudding. Some Bridgets could pave away with their Yorkshire puddings, and some would make you think 1t had been out in the rain. It is are quickly reached. If Virginia settles herself down to Bridget's limitations she will find even these contract with every month until the daily dinner is reduced to steaks and chops on alternating days.
 Many a young wife with no experience whatever begins her new career as the dispenser of from three to seven thou sands a year WuO HdS never DOuBnL a pound of meat at the butchers and has not a suspicion of the mysteries of the kitchen. Paul sees the money go and lit tie come. He realizes it and also where the fault lies
 Is there not somethig radically wrong in the bringing up of young girls? Is it right that they should be sent into mems homes as wives wholly, totally incompe- tentfA It was not so years ago, but 1t is soSnow. The modern young lady is reared to snare her beau, but is not trained to keep him. Every young girl should be, for her own sake, trained to care for her home and to be able to prop erly discharge the duties of wife. The careful prudent wife who knows how to run her home, builds up her husbands fortune; the ignorant, careless wife drags him down. Shipwrecks would be less ire. quent if mothers educated the daughters in domestic affairs.

change from warm to cold is always attended with more danger than from a cold to warm temperature, hence the greater mortality from lung and throat diseases at this season of the year as compared with spring.
 The best protection against colds is not so much in extra clothing as in good di- gestion.
 If the digestion and circulation are good, colds will be unknown.
 Poor digestion causes poor circulation of the blood and when in this condition severe colds are contracted on the slight est provocation,
 People who make regular practice of taking Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after meals are free from colds, simply because their digestion Is perfect, the heart strong and regular, and the whole system forti- fled against disease.
 It requires little argument to convince anyone that the best safeguard against colds, pneumonia and changes of temper ature is a good stomach.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals are dissolved and mingling with the food cause it to be promptly digested and assimiliated; they do this because they contain nothing but harmless diges- tive elements, which digest meat, eggs and other food. even when the stomach Itself is weak and faccid.
 Etuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make people we'll and keep them well, and the best habit you can acuire is to keep daily use of them at meals to make the diges- tive organs strong and vigorous.

Franchise question.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 The city council at it's last meeting, as we arc all doubtless aware, decided to grant to the street railway company 8 thirty year franchise instead of what was asked for in their petition covering some seventy-six blocks of the city. The council is composed of as good people as we have, but many of our best citizens think they m axie mistake in this. The company now have all the best part of the city, and 1t is a foregone conclusion that no other company, would undertake to invest in new system of street car lines here. Since this is the case, which I believe, after . close investigation, every one will admit. there is no other al- ternatiye except for the suburban growth of the city to stop, as the present com pany, or any other, certainly could af- ford to make uncertain extensions of their lines on a thirty year franchise. It usual- ly takes at least fifty years to noat bonds on this character of Improvements, and summing 1t all up. cannot conceive of anything more calculated to cripple Bir- mingham than the adoption of policy that wiIl tend to stop her street car build- ing. If there was no street car system here and a company was applying for franchise, then. truly. we would all say that . city like this ought possibly to gYant nc. more than . thirty year fran lchise; but we find a company is here do- ing bssnlneee, giving good service, com Weneed when the city wae ap infant and our people were peFhapa giad to- secure a

Discusses Constitution.

To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 l would like to ask space in the Age Herald to announce myself in favor. of the ratification of the new Constitution. l am Republican and a minister, and from both standpoints I cannot see how any man can oppose ratification. Who wants to see the ballot stealing games continued? Who wants to be party to keep up the practice of bribery? What Republican wants a mess of cold 'nigger' damned down his neck every time he calls for honest elections Shame upon such methodist And yet they seem to be justifable from a color line argument Let us remove the cause in the name of God and humanity. I chal- 1enge Messrs Johnston Shelley, Stallings. Denson or any other man who is opposed to ratification to public debate in Bir- mingham, Montgomery or any other place in Alabama or any number of places that time will allow for discussion. I am for ratification. I know that the new Con stitutien is a better document than the old and 1t will stand the severest test. Who will pick up the gauntlet?

Dinner Party Incident.

To the Editor of The Age-Heraid.
 There has been a great deal in your es- timable paper about the Teddy Booker Dinner" It is asserted by the Northern people that all the Kicking is by the Southern papers. May I, as Southern individual. say a few words about the affair? As your paper Is white mans paper I feel that the favor will be granted.
 As for most of the Southern people. and I dare say, a good number of their Northern brothers. they had always up to the time of him becoming President considered Teddy in politics what the clown is in the circus. From the time of becoming President to the famous dinner (not the diners. mind you) he was grow ing in the estimation of the thinking people. and they were beginning to think that they had misjudged Rough Rider Teddy" But the dial had not yet pointed to the right place. Small potatoes always show themselves. So it was with Teddy
 That dinner must have been something like this: Picture to yourself the White House dining room. There is a beautiful table set in grand style. At one end is Teddy, the President. At the other end is Booker the more distinguished of the two. Teddy says: Booker, will you have a piece of turkey?' Booker: No boss, rs thanks you but Is al-rys per- fers wstermelon. Then dear old Me- Kiniey's body turns over in it's grave. He was a man in the full sense of the word. I differed with him In politics but loved him as man. Many years will pass be- fore another Republican President will be loved by the South as was Mckinley. Amen The show is over. The curtain is down. Let us so home and think about 1t. People may talk and they may shout, but the South will be the South. Teddy may as well try to reach the sun as to undertake to make things otherwise. He as President may eat dinner with all the Cookers in the land.
 Booker is good man in his place. and we Southerners think there is differ ence and do not agree with the great Teddy. He owes his ofice to the 'nigger" in one respect, for the 'nigeer'' regi- ment saved him at San Juan Hill. Per- haps that Is why he favors the ''nigger" You know Teddy never forgets a favor.
