LABOR IS SCARCE
 IN BIRMINGHAM And Throughout the District
 These Busy Days GREAT DEMAND FOR MEN Ever Experienced In This City and Dstrict-Many Firms Are Great ly Handicapped, and Want
 More Workmen.

There is marked scarcity of common laborers in this district at the present time, owing to the large number of rail- roads being graded and built in the sur rounding districts and the large amount of work being done here. In the offices of the Iron and coal companies and grad ing contractors of the city this scarcity is especially felt.
 On the streets and about the union pas senger station may at all times be seen from one to ten notices and bins posted begging for laborers and offering .n- creased wages for good workers applying without delay. These bills ask for labor CTS for work on railroads and other con- tracting jobs of every character.
 Recent Effort to Export Negroes.
 The recent effort to export negroes from the district to other parts of the country was most vigorously fought by leading company of the district, which would reel the effect of an absence of laborers as quick as any other company. This com pany--the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Hali- road Company-the night before the la borers left for Chicago was forced 10 close down parts of it's works owing to lack of laborers. This fact is the main reason why the fight was made against the exportation.
 The scarcity of good, able-bodied labor CTS to go in the furnaces and work neces- sitated the action of the company in or der to protect It's plants. Other com panies felt the effect of the movement or laborers. These companies were not con- fined to those mining coal or manufactur- ing iron. but included many contractors of the district.
 Scarcity All Over District.
 A prominent contractor who recently secured the grading of new railroad line, In speaking of the question yester- day said:
 i've have never in our experience found 1t so difficult to secure laborers for work in grading as we have found 1t this time., Of course,> we always have within call number of workmen who have been with us on many contracts, and they are easily obtained, but for the other help we have been forced to offer special inducements in order to obtain services of good men.
 Every mining company ana every con tracting firm in this district are feeling the scarcity of men equally as much so as we are feeling it, and all are offering as great inducements to permanent workers as possible. No better example of this manner of securing and keeping laborers may be obtained than by going to East Thomas and seeing what the Republic Steel and Iron Company Is do- ing for it's men. Recently the company has built hundreds of first-class, comfort able two and three room cottages for It's negro employees, as well as for the whites. These are being rented at reasonable rates, and the treatment is having good effect in keeping the company's men from accepting the tempting offers now being held out to laborers of every class"

WARD AND BROWN
 TENNIS PLAYERS Go to Atlanta to Represent Bir-
 mingham PROMISE OF GREAT PLAY There will be over fifty players and Every important City Will Con- test for the Honors-Play-
 CTS Go Today.
PROMISE OF GREAT PLAY

T. Coleman Ward ard Charley A. Brown, the Southern champion tennis players who represent the Birmingham Athletic Club. will leave this afternoon for Atlanta, where they are entered in the Interstate Tennis Tournament, which will be held under the auspices of the Atlanta Athletic Club.
 Both players assert they are in better form than ever in the past and are con- fident they will bring the two cups back to Birmingham when the finals are com pleted. From Atlanta word comes that more than fifty men are entered in the tournament, and that the. play will be the fastest ever seen In the South.
 New Orleans, Knoxville. Montgomery, Chattanooga, Richmond, Va, Norfolk, Va, Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, and many other Southern cities have representa- tives entered for the contests. Each city will fight for the cups and honors to bs given by the Atlanta Club.
 Messrs. Ward and Brown now hold the championship in doubles, having won the cup twice in succession in Atlanta. MT. Ward was formerly champion in singles. This year the team hopes to win the double cup and one member win the sln- gle cup. Last season Clarence Angler, Jr., won the cup in singles but this year his game has not been up to his former standard, and 1t is believed that either MT. Ward or Brown may win from him. Angler Is hard working, indefatigable player of only 20 year sof age, and he may again develop superiority in his play which is at all times brilliant.
 Bulletins will be received at the Bir- rdngham Athletic Club during the pro- gress of all games and club members may at all times know the position of their representatives

A SABBATH DAYS
 REFLECTIONS

Awake oh, man. and behold the glad ness of the morning. The world bids thee smile. and the God of the universe ac- cepts the expression of joy and of thanks giving in tender love.
 In every face there speaks drama the smile, the frown the laughter, the tear; yea, all of these part do play; but the sunlight of this Sabbath morning. the chimes of the church bells, the songs of the birds and the gladness of the leaves. which glory under the benign in- huence of last evenings dew drops bid us all speakLbid us be glad, bid the hu- man heart throb with joy, because God is good-yes good to us all
 While it may be true that every human life is a mystery to be solved only by God Himself, so it is true that every hu- man life can be made glory to hlm Who wears smiling face.
 Gratitude, good frie d; gratitude, that the key to it all
 Speak you of lifes cruel tide. Is 1t not the stern and rugged face, the ungrateful heart, the reckless, thoughtless soul that makes 1t ebb and flow2
 Smile today; smile on the morning hgnt Gods glorious benediction.
 Every human life is duty to the God who gave it.
 To the house of prayer today my friend: first from thy closet to the house of prayer. and On pended knee give thanks for light and love divine; then hie thee to the pathfess woods, there are nature s smile and joy there If thou lowest na- ture as thosEsshouldst. thou needst not love less thyffellow man; for all is God S. Take myself down by the deep sea, but take, too, thy smiles along, for there Is music and laughter in the very roar and ripplng of tn. waves and. too, there is strength and power there in that: "Glorious mirror, where the Almighty's
 form
 Glasses itself in tempests; in all time, Calm or convulsed-in breeze or gale, or storm,

 Powerful. yea, powerful the mighty sea and so good to bear the ships that come and go for use of man; so gentle and kind to fan the fevered brow, instill new life, and make anew Gods weaker ones.
 Dost thou not behold the rectitude and patience of yon rocksY Against these the storms of winter have blown for centu- ries, yet they stand as sentinels faithful by and upon the rugged hills. They be so glad to bear the brunt of time. Then there is gIadness in the wind that shakes the corn and bids 1t come forth and fructify for bread to man. It listeth with laugh ter And then the falling of the rain drops that love so well the leaves. These be gladly smiles.
 Wake up my beloved; wake up: be joy full This mortal life is hece for goodness. .'Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep, and you weep alone"

Another ridiculous food fad has been

notion that one kind of food Is needed

and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish a particular
part Of the body, but 1t will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be, its nutriment is de-
stroyej by indigestion or dyspepsia.
