A Warming Against Crossed Legs.

From the Philadelphia Record
"Uncross your legs said a doctor.
"Oh, no." said his son. What's the
use OF being so polite all the time?"
My boy" the father answered. lit
Is not on account of a mere rule of
etiquette that tell you TO uncross your
legs. but II is because leg-crossing is
an injurious thing-a thing as baleful
to the health as kissing or as microbes
When you cross your legs you Mt
the kneecap of the lower limb into the
cavity under the knee OF the. upper
one. In the cavity. that YOU thus COM
press there are the two important ex-
terror and interior popliteal nerves and
a number of glands and blood vessels
Compression does not act well on these
organs. IL benumbs them and weak
ems and emaciates them. You feel the
injury in numbness of the whole leg
the leg goes to sleep
Keep on with the habit and your
legs weaken. They become thin. They
lose their shapeliness 1t is only such
men and women and children as never
cross their legs who have strong and
supple and beautiful limbs"

The rain, however. failed to materialize

that brought a storm of applause.
Second on the bill came a genuine de-

Behan and Maseotte. A succession of
rapid fire conversation kept the audi
ence in roar of laughter and quick
changes of costumes added interest to
the act.
The Sassirita sisters and their trick

Water Works Company VIII
Build New Reservoir for
Filtered Water
MUCH WATER BEING WASTED
Company Is to Put In New Pumps
Which Will Increase the Pump
ing Capacity Eight Million
Gallons Day.

A. M. Lynn OF the Birmingham Water
Works Company, who returned to the
city yesterday from Pittsburg, states
that the company will begin on its new
filtration plants within two weeks. Mr..
Lynn comes to look after some matters
in connection with the installation of
new pumping machinery at the Cahaba
station This will increase the capacity
of this plant eight million gallons day.
The present capacity is twelve million
gallons and it has been found necessary
to Increase the plant. Including the
North Birmingham station the water
company is now pumping sixteen million
gallons a day.
Since President ]. NJ. Purdy of the
water company announced to the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen that his COM
pany would filter all the water furnish
ed the city, the company has been at
work having plans prepared for filtration
plants The architects have finished
these and the materials have been or
dered and just as soon as they arrive
and are on the ground work will be
commenced.
The new filtration plants VIII be modern
in every way, and the hest of their kind.
There will be a small reservoir built to
hold the filtered water. This viii have
concrete sides and bottom. The filters
themselves win be made of circular steel
tanks, and the water will be filtered by
gravity passing through strata of sand
at the bottom Of tho tank These tanks
are arranged so that the sand can be re-
moved every day il necessary and new
and fresh sard put in IT will take several
months to install the plant, hut this will
be the last summer that citizens Of Bir-
mingham will drink unfiltered water.
Meanwhile the Water Company desires
to call the attention of Its customers to
the amount of water that is being wasted
and urges upon them the necessity at
this time Of strictly complying with the
rules in regard to lawn sprinklers, SO
that water will not be wasted. The dry
season is approaching, II in fact 1t cannot
be said to be hero, and the question Of
water supply might become a serious
one IL q prolonged drought should ensue.

night. The play In itself and the setting
OF 1t are much the best that Kendall
Weston's clever company has achieved,
being superior even to "A Scrap of Pa
per"-fuler Of good fun chiefly furnished
by Toby Twinkle. a spinner, and fuller.
too, of human interest.
The story is briefly that OF a rich cot
ton spinner who becomes socially am
bilious. He plans a marriage of his
youngest son, Frederick. to the daught er
of an earl-to Lady Valera, who loves
another. That other Is Sir Arthur Lason.
the william Of the piece The Oldest son
of the Plum family. Stephen, loves, how
ever, pretty factory girl, Martin
Gibbs. The working out of these two
matches constitutes the plot of the play.
Miss Carrington's naturalness and wo-
manliness serve her well in the part she
holds in this play. She has not been seen
to better advantage. She and Lady va
laria were friends and companions when
they were young girls. and she decides
to stay at the mill In order to serve and
guard her friend and schoomate Mr.
Halifax as Toby Twinkle is the life of
the play. This was one of Joe Jeffer-
sons fayorite parts. anG 1t takes no harm
In Mr.. Halifax's hands. Mr.. O'Hara is
Jasper Plum and Mr.. Weston re-appears
this week as Stephen Plum, the eldest
son, who loves Martha Gibbs Mr.. Tay-
Tor is Sir Arthur Lason, the villain of
the plot.
In trying to aid Lady Valera all seem
to conspire against Martha, who has
become engaged to Stephen, who at
length becomes jealous. In this web of
trouble, woven to save Lady Valera,
Martha comes into a sea of trouble. But
at length all turns out well. Lady Va
leria is saved from the tempter, and
Stephen and Martha are united. The
conspirators are all defeated. and the
audience went away last night delighted
with the play.
On SO small q stage 1t Is surprising
what excellent effects Manager Weston
Is able TO produce. The play lacks moth
ing in scenery or stage appointments.
Toby Twinkle furnishes the comedy.
Martha Gibbs the sentiment and the
rest contribute to the plot the whole
forming delightful play on a sum
