next legislature, which can sit but fifty days. and which is sure to be flooded with bills from every section of the state.
 As the state becomes more populous and business enterprises are increased, and the cities and the other munich palities have more wants, it will be- come doubtful, indeed, whether ses- sions of the legislature four years apart will be sfactory-whether such gaps between legislation will not operate to check enterprise in various directions and create delays that would be damaging. It will ever be difficult to foresee wants four years in advance.
 Unless Governor Jelks can name a dozen subjects to be disposed of in some way by an extra session the peo- pie seem to prefer the inconveniences of another year of waiting to the call ing of an extra session. In other words, the thirty days of an extra session should, if utilized at all, become an addition-a prefix of the next regular session, thus giving the state the ben eft of eighty days of legislation, which would be time well spent pro- vided, of course, the members did their full duty in the two sessions.

Special Cable to [

Special Cable to the New York Herald. N ONDON, Sanirday.-Some rather
 V startling theories as to the use - of certain remedial agents in the treatment of tuberculosis were stated by Dr. Joseph Oldfeld of Harley street. when interviewed on the subject of the treatment of consumption by the juices of vegetables, as a result of which Dr. Russell of New York, according to a cable dispatch published here. claims to have cured eleven patients
 Dr. Oldfield is of recognized position and influence. He is not only a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians and a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of London, but is also possessed of the de- gree of D. C. L. of this university, Ox- ford, and is a barrister- -at-law of Lincoln's Inn. He has written number of books on tuberculosis, starch as food in na- ture, the claims of common life and the penalty of death, and has contributed to the British Medical Journal papers on such kindred questions as diet in relation to cancer.
 'I am very anxious" said Dr. Oldfield, that people should not run away with the false idea that they are going to be cured by the juices of vegetables, in the same way that the world thought con- sumptive patients were going to be cured by Dr. Koch's serum.
 "At the same time. have been for a number of years in charge of the Lady Margaret Fruitarian Hospital, at Brom- a- any cases of advanced tuberculosis, I feel we are in special position to judge of the value of vegetable juices in consump- ton.
 "Dr Russell's claim is that the best way to treat tuberculosis Is to increase the cumulative power of the blood corpuscles, and therein I think he is right Our ex- perience has distinctly been that the right use of fruits and vegetable juices is of the utmost importance in increasing the stamina of the blood corpuscles of the body.
 "I have come to look upon flesh food as largely stimulant and therefore valu- able in case of emergency, like alcohol. On the other hand, a certain number of fruits and vegetables are specially feed ing, and, therefore, essentially nutritious. I put raisins in first of all foods that know of.
 After raisins come apples. pears and their juices, in the form of sweet cider and sweet perry. Bo.-- are practically non-alcoholic. Then, of vegetables, my experience has been that carrots are best of all to use and to use raw and at the same time grated. not chopped Of other vegetables watercress is also good.

Electric Signs.

cannot see why one of the local electrical shops does not fix up a shop in which they can make electric signs said one of the leading sign painters of this city recently.
 Electric signs are becoming more pop ular every day and it seems to me that II the number increases as rapidly in the future as 1t has in the last few months tnis business would be a very profitable one. Most of the merchants of this city are members of the Commercial club and It Is their policy, so I understand to pat ronize home industry, and thereby pro- mote the business of local concerns. This is very strong point in favor of the success of the new business for if the policy is carried out all electric signs in the future would be bought from the local concern"

An Extra Session.

It does not seem to be established that Governor Jelks has decided tc call the legislature together in an ex Ira session. No doubt he would like 10 aid the rural public schools, and perhaps he thinks legislation in rela ton to the public debt desirable, but he apparently has not decided that an extra session is imperatively needed 1t the present time.
 In one respect an extra session could become . relief. It can last thirty Jays, and in that time it could dispose of a dozen large matters that would greatly clog the regular session of the

''The Third regiment, A. N. G., Is in better shape now than ever before in it's history" said D. Houston Smith, captain of the crack company at Oxford, who spent yesterday in Birmingham. 'The Third is the regiment now. and 1t is im- proving every day under the able man. agement of Colonel McKleroy and Lieut.. Col. Hughes B. Kennedy. All of the of- ficers, staff, field and line, seem to be satisfield with the conditions and all are working in harmony as far as I know.
 Everything in Anniston, Oxford and that section of the state seems to be in excellent condition. The people seem to be prosperous and we never hear the words. hard times.'

Delightful Trip.

Dr. Eugene Jacobs and Mrs. Jacobs re- turned Sunday from five weeks tour through the west. They viewed the Grand Canyon of the Colorado in Ari- zona, the Yosemite Valley and other famous nature-pictures. In speaking of their trip pr. Jacobs said: My wife and had a delightful time. We were great ly impressed with the majestic scenery of the west and the bustling life of the cities. Persons fond Of travel certainly get their moneys worth in trip to the Pacific.
 'I was struck with the enterprise of the newsdealers in the cities from Dem yer to San Francisco. In all the large western cities the leading dailies publish ed In every section of the United States are on sale. In Salt Lake City I met a newsboy pushing a cart loaded with papers.
 Have you The Birmingham Age-Her- ald?' I asked.
 "'Yes, sir was the prompt reply.
 Have you the Atlanta JournalT
 {" Yes, sir
 " Let me have them,' said; and as the boy got out the two papers I handed him dime. We charge ten cents a piece,' he said. And then I handed him another dime
 Tn San Francisco asked the man at hotel newsstand if he had The Birming- ham Age-Herald. He said he had it. We traded and the price was ten cents. found a dime was the ruling quotation in all the far western cities except in Los Angeles where I bought The Age-Herald for five cents" Dr. Jacobs said that the Portland exposi- tion was nothing more than big bazaar. but that financially it was great suc- cess.
