BOARD IF TRADE
 ENJOYS \ SMOKER New Officers We're Installed and
 Meeting Held GOOD STORIES WERE HEARD A Resolution Was Passed Regarding the Mayor and Board of Alder men To Provide for a Larger
 Police Force.
GOOD STORIES WERE HEARD

With a bountiful luncheon and good cheer the Board of Trade held a short business meeting last night, installed officers for the ensuing year and spent the rest of the evening in hearing good stories.
 The new officers are:
 President-Colman Blach
 Vice Presidents-Simon Klotz, J. D. Col lins, J. H. McCary G. Rothoitz, John W. o'Neill.
 Secretary-Roy Mccullough
 Treasurer-John L. Parker.
 Attorney-John w Tomlinson.
 When the meeting had been called to order MT. Rotholtz spoke on the subject of police protection. He said the city was badly in need of more policemen, and as the Board of Trade had succeeded so well In their efforts to enlarge the fire depart ment he believed they could do something toward securing a more efficient police department, or rather one of large dimen- sions A resolution was passed request ing the mayor and board of aldermen to the number to be recommended by the police commission.
 MT. Leatb asked that something be done towards raising funds to entertain the visiting delegates to the International Typographical convention. which meets was decided to instruct the committee to mmedately begin their work.
 John l.. Parker asked that the Board of Trade give it's endorsement to the pro- posed plan of the High School Alumni to build a new high school building. He said the present structure was dis grace to the city and that building suf- fcent to accommodate 1000 pupils was needed. He argued that by charging a tuition fee of two dollars per month the building would eventually pay for itself. This proposition brought out some dis cussion,a and Dr. Jacobs suggested that the city had better be able to abolish the present fee before they spent money In building a new structure. A resolution was finally adopted to encourage the idea of the High School Alumni
 MT. Leath then offered a resolution that the Bulger school ordinance introduced in the constitutional convention be endorsed. This ordinance provides for the distri- button of the school funds between the negroes and whites according to the amount of taxes each one pays. The ob- ject of the ordinance is to avoid the pres ent system by which the negroes get nearly one-half of the public school money when they only pay one-sixth of it.
 MT Sinnige said that the two last reso- lutions were contrary to the constitution of the Board of Trade. He said the or ganization was going too far into poli- tics. His statements met with approval and the club adjourned to another room, wher, light luncheon, with refreshing drinks, was served. For more than an hour the members were regaled with bright and witty stories, and MT. Sinnige was unanimously given first prize as a narrator

POLICE ARE HOT
 AFTER BURGLARS
Two Are Caught by Ely Cops' While Dr. Nixon Nabs
 Another

Eugene Mitchell and W. Jones, two negroes, have been arrested and locked up in t' city jail. The police think they are some of the burglars who have been working residences on the Northside.
 The negroes were arrested by Officers Patton and Johnson, two fly cops" who have been working for several nights in that portion of the city where the bur glaries have been committed.
 One of the negroes had in his possess sion some things which came from the house of c. H. Perkins in Fifth avenue, which was burglarzed Thursday night.
 Another One Arrested.
 A negro giving his name as Will New ton was arrested last night by pr. Percy Nixon about il 80 o'clock and turned over to the police. Dr. Nixon found the negro In his yard, in Fifth avenue and Twenty first street, acting in very suspicious manner and he thought the negro in- tended breaking in his house.
 When arrested the negro wore a light gray coat, several sizes too large for him. It was made by a tailoring firm in Anniston, and when asked concerning it the negro said the coat was the property of another negro. The police think he belongs to the band of burglars who have been working the city recently.

LAST OF "OLIVETTE."
farewell Performance of This Delight
 ful Entertainment Tonight.

The dainty, rolicsome "Olivette" says good bye tonight to the several thousand friends she has made in Birmingham, and it is with regret that the Lakeview en- thusiasts see her go It Is doubtful If any of the comic operas of the French school are capable of pleasing such a variety of tastes as "Olivette." But the goodbye must be sald as this saucy little maiden must give way for the more tragic Airline" who comes next week.
 "Olivette' is a medley of pleasant i'm pressions. It Is a noticeable fact that the tunes and incidents of this opera are re- membered longer and more distinctly than those of any other. Bob Up Serene ly" is model of the comic song with local hits. "Olivette's'' "Sob Song" is a remarkably clever pretense, and always takes. For genuine attractiveness the Bridal Chorus has very hymeneal ef- feet on all the young people that hear it.

His Bicycle CoIIided With Trol- ley Car Causing Several
 Broken Bones

Jacob Bube, telegraph messenger boy, while riding bicycle collided with a trolley car at Twentieth street and Ave- nue F yesterday afternoon and suffered several broken bones besides many bad bruises.

Are You Fit To be Trusted Wifh a Good Set Of BRAINS {?
 GRAPE-NUTS Keep Them In
 Order.
A BRAIN FOOD AND REPAIRER.
Keep Them in Order.

Every minister, lawyer. journalist, physician, author or business man is forced under pressure of modern condi- tions to the active and sometimes over active use of the brain. Analysis of the excreta thrown out by the pores shows that brain work breaks down the phos- phate of potash. separating 1t from it's heavier companion, aibumen, and plain common sense teaches that this ele- mental principle must be introduced into the body anew each day, if we would replace the loss and rebuild the brain tissue.
 We know that the phosphate of potash, as presented in certain field grains, has an affinity for albumen and that is the only way gray matter in the brain can be built. It will not answer to take the crude phosphate of potash of the drug shop, for nature rejects it. The elemental mineral must be presented through food directly from Natures laboratory
 These facts have been made use of in the manufacture of Grape Nuts. and any brain worker can prove the value of the proper selection of food by making free use of Grape Nuts for ten days or two weeks Sold by grocers everywhere (and in immense quantities.) Manufactured by the Postum Cereal Co.,, Ltd, Battle Creek, Michigan. c,.sr,..s:
