 Earnest Gathering of
 Young Men.
WORKERS MAKE ADDRESSES

The formal opening of the new home of the Young Mems Christian Association took place yesterday afternoon and night. In the afternoon a public reception was held by the lady friends of .hdi yenng men and was well attended.
 At o'clock a meeting of She members of the association and those ane;.J in, terested in the building fund was held every chair in the rooms being filled. Several addresses were made.
 MT. Bowron.
 James Bowren, member of the inter national committee, was the frs. speaker and took for his subject "Setl.ed Pin ciples of the Young. Mems Christian As- sociation." His address like all the oth- CTS, was short and to the point. He briefly reviewed the work from the faun- dation to the present day and dwelt on the ennobling object of it's foundations im- pressing his hearers with the fact that the sole end in view was to updft the young men of the day and to p,acs ,hem on pinnacle of both spiritual and physi- cal safety.
 C. H. Mooreman, state secretary IT Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, spoke on the relationship of active members 10 the association. Temptations of city Efe, l the yawning gulfs of sin constantly le- | fore young men, and the necessity of christian influence and actions to counter act them were unquestioned He said that a young man did not have to be a | preach or a singer to work for Christ and that the raw material was always at his hand-clay ready lor the hands of the potter
 c. l.. Gates field secretary of the inter- national committee was the third speaker and devoted his time to giving the young men advice as to the principles that should be used in securing money for the Young Mems Christian association build- ing. MT. Gates address was eagerly lis- tened to and his advice was sound: he laid particular stress upon the fact that if they wanted money they must go aft ter 1t with a conscientious feeling in their heart. They must realize that it was just as much of @ privilege for them to work
  subscribe to their cause; they must not | beat about the bush; they needed si0,0D; l their cause was a noble one and Bir- mingham was big enough and liberal enough to subscribe it. To get this amount an intelligent ana business propo- | sition must be laid before the people anC last but not least. the absolute necessity | of It.
 Other Addresses. Other addresses were made by the sec retary and assistant secretary of the loca organization who among other thing; stated that in two weeks their member ship had increased from twenty-three tt one hundred and six A hearty co-opera ton of active members was asked for sc that by the end of the year the member ship would be al least one thousand. Refreshments were served after the speaking and before the close of the meeting the social spirit reigned supreme the young men feeling that the event was a great success.

KALOIA.
Bid Force of Men Covering Alabama.

Accompanied by the advertising forces of the Kaloa company. MT. w. M. Ben nett, general manager and MT. T. w. Holmes. general agent for Alabama, have inaugurated an extensive campaign to put Kalola Crystallzed Mineral Water before the public. Kalola is the only reduced and crystallized mineral water on the market today and is unique.

There Is Pleasure For The PlvsS.

After all, the plain plug Of a
man is the happiest man in the
world. His pants may bag at
the knee and he may not be ac-
quainted with the latest style of
whisker5, he may not hold down
a throne or presidency Of a rail-
road, but as he patters through
life he gets as much calm salts
faction Of it as his more dignified
brother. He knows there is no
crank waiting around the corner
with a gun or a knife. He can
sit down to his frugal meal and
eat his pie with his knife with
impunity, knowing there is no
danger Of having it spiked with
rough on rats. Doubtless it is
lots of fun to be hailed whenever
you step out on your front porch
and have yourself misquoted in
the newspapers, and to know as
you hang up your crown for the
night and crawl into your luxuri-
ant couch that guards are stand
ing in the yard to keep the ad-
miring public from throwing
bricks through the window, but
notwithstanding these joys, the
common everyday chap who
wears the best clothes he can
and a hat that is eight years out
of style gets the most pleasure
out of life in the long run.-The
