CHRISTMAS WAS
 VERY QUIET DAY
POLICE MAKE FEWER ARRESTS THAN USUAL-GREAT MAJOR ITY OF CASES WERE "DRUNKs" AND "DlsoRDERLlEs."

Christmas proved to be one of the quiet est in many years in Birmingham. There was not a crime or a serious accident to mar the day. The policemen state that the day was unusually quiet with them, and that they had nothing of a serious nature to deal with.
 The chief violators of the law were men who had imbibed too freely and disorder ly people on the streets, but there were fewer of these than usual. For the past forty-eight hours the police department made only about 150 arrests, which is a much smaller number than the day before Christmas and Christmas day for several years past.
 About 125 of those arrested in the past two days are charged with disorderly conduct, shooting firearms in the city limits or indulging In little fight. The remaining twenty-five are for more seri- ous charges. but none of them, except the three young white men charged with rob- bery, are more than misdemeanors.
 The streets were filled with people all day Judge Feagin will probably have about 15O cases to hear today. Most of them will be postponed to later dates, as he will probably only hear those who plead guilty.

ach has wanted almost everything, an- swering to conditions of body and climate. Summer for example, my stomach never asks for roast beef, and in the winter never want fish or saurkraut. I never have found my stomach mistaken. The only difficulty would be for the average person to understand just what his stom- ach meant. Some forty years I have de- voted to cultivatng a knowledge of mine and feel that it has been worth the trou- ble and time. Some people may consider it fraekish, but I am not a crank and desire to make no revolution in the worlds diet. I have merely done this for my self, with results that are evident and satisfying. Perhaps no one else could do it. for all I know.
 Does Not Drink or Smoke.
 "One thing I've never done, that is to smoke or drink any sort of intoxicating liquors. You can't understand your stom- ach if you subject it to any stimulation or unnatural influence. If you drink a glass of beer your stomach might like as not ask for boiled cabbage and lobster. It is no more responsible under stimulation than your brain You can get your stom- ach intoxicated as well as your head, and if you care to try this plan at all, from the first you must give up intoxicants of all kinds. They are not meant to be taken into your stomach. Tobacco also I believe to be harmful in another way. It is an unnatural influence on your di- gestive apparatus Any doctor will say so, think; but most of them condone it. You can't make fair trial of this system or know your stomach as it is unless you are teetotaler and give up smoking"
 Any Baltimore man who is an occasional guest at the Waldorf, and who doubts this tale is respectfully referred to the doctor himself for confirmation.

RUSSIAN BEAR
 CONSIDERS REPLY Proposals to Japan Are Consid-
 cred Very Liberal CHANGES MAY BE MADE Rumor in Circulation That the United States Will Recommend Reference
 of Russo-Japanese Affair to
 The Hague Tribunal.
CHANGES MAY BE MADE

St. Petersburg December 25.-The Rus sian government is still considering the reply of the Japanese government to it's note, which was sent in answer to Japan's demands relating to the situation in the far east. reconsideration of the pro- posaIs made in the Russian note is consd- cred as a matter of course now. Russia has never been disposed to take any step which would lead to an abrupt termina- ton of the negotiations with Japan.
 In answer to many inquiries made by the Associated Press the Russian foreign office has always insisted that the Rus sian proposals were so liberal that it would be scarcely possible to conceive any further concessions.
 While the foreign office is unwilling to admit that Russia is prepared to offer more than the concessions outlined in the last note, it is considered possible that the government may suggest changes by which the Russian requirements may be met and satisfaction given to Japan.
 A rumor has been circulated here that the United States government is still in- elined to suggest the reference of the dif-
 
 The Hague arbitration tribunal. but this rumor is believed to be merely the echo of a former suggestion made in the press of the country.
