COURTESY OF LovEMAN,s sToRE.

The fact that Loveman, Joseph & Loeb

Fridays during the summer is a cour-
tesy and kindness appreciated not only
by the employees but by every woman in
Birmingham, and it has been requested
that public thanks be accorded the man.
agement through these columns today.
1t is also most earnestly requested that
the management of the other leading and
progressive stores of Birmingham shall, IL
possible, join in this movement, and con-
fer the same favor and privilege upon
their clerks-their young women clerks
especially.
1t has been frequently remarked that
the cordial manners and bearing of the
young womn in the stores of this city are
most exceptional, as compared to that
of many clerks in other cities.
1t is pleasure to go shopping in Bir-
ming'ham, and that pleasure is largely due
to the helpfulness and courtesy of the
clerks.
In Loyemans store especially has this
been commented on.

One hundred and thirty one miles Is
the height of the atmosphere as meas
ured by Professor t. J. J. See, who
determines the thickness of the air
envelope by noting the difference be-
tween the time of sunset and the COM
plete disappearance of blue from the
sky. The moment at which the blue
changes into black can be observed
quite easily with approximate GER
tainty by the naked eye when the
air is clear, and by trigonometry
may be ascertained the distance below
the horizon of the sun at the moment
OF change. By this means may be cal
culated the height of the smallest illu-
minated particles of oxygen and nitro
gen which give to the sky its blueness
of tint by the reflection of the smallest
wave lengths of the suns light. The
instant Of change from blue to black
is possibly a little difficult of exact
observation, but the method is not more
doubtful than that based on the OBJ
ServatiOn of shooting stars. The shoot
ing star method gives a result not
greatly differing from the vanishing
blue method The former gives the
height of the atmosphere at 100 miles.

A French Verdict.

All juries have way of tempering
justice with mercy and strict logic
with good or bad sense French juries
excel in these practices. A Nine Ca
naby of Bordeaux was accused Of hav-
ing forged two prescriptions and Of
having thereby obtained large quanti-
ties of poison, some of which she adj
ministered to her husband, who nearly
died and was only saved by his doctor,
who suspected something wrong and
took him away. The evidence was
overwhelming, for the prisoner COM
pletely failed to give any plausible eX-
PLANTATION as to why she wanted the
poison-enough as the chemist said, to
kill two regiments. Nevertheless the
jury found Nine. Canaby guilty OF
forging the prescriptions, but not guilty
of attempting to poison her husband.
Perhaps the jury thought the husband
imprisoned was punishment enough in
himself for one crime.

Inebriety and the Eating Of Fruit

Inebriety and the Eating of Fruit.
There is but one sure cure for the
drinking disease or habit, and that Is
the simplest of all. The cure consists
in eating fruits. That will cure the
worst case Of inebriety that ever af-
fiicted a person. 1t will entirely de-
stroy the taste for intoxicants and will
make the drunkard return to the
thoughts and tastes of mis- childhood.
No person ever saw man or woman
who liked fruit and who had an ap-
petite for drink. No person ever saw
a man Or woman with an appetite for
drink who liked fruit. The two tastes
are at deadly enmity with each other,
and there is no room for both Of them
in the same human constitution. One
will surely destroy the other.-What to
Eat.

When to Eat Cotton.

When one by accident swallows an

up any rough edge or sharp point and

ach and intestines without causing in

FATHER G S AGREE.
r. w. Patterson Says Sons Ideas Are
Faliacious.

New York. March 7.-R. w. PatterI
son, editor OF the Chicago Tribunes
does not share In the socialistic views
expressed by his son, Joseph Medill Pat
~terson, the former commissioner of pub
lie works of Chicago. The elder Mr..
Patterson and his son were at the Hol-
land house In this city and both ex-
pressed decided opinions on the sub
ject.. The younger mar reiterated the
statements voiced yesterday after his
resignation as commissioner OF public
works of Chicago had become known.
Ills father declared 1t to be his belief
that socialism Is one Of the widest
fanaticisms of the age"
He added that the real reason his
son gave up his municipal office was
because he had been asked to do
things for which he could have been
indicted and for which he should
have been indicted had he done them.
While he did not al all agree with
his sons theories, Mr.. Patterson said
he conceded to every man the right
to think for himself and added that
a mere difference of opinion would
not be permitted to make any differ
ence in the relations between his SON
and himself.
IF sons did not nave any different
ideas from their fathers" he said 1--WE
would be back in the days Of Abra-
ham"

City of Chicago Gets a Doctor for ON
of John Alexander Dowie's
P%atiente

Chicago, March THE city health
department is justified in forcibly in
terfering In cases Of extreme sickness
where the services of q physician are
refused, according to an opinion rem
dered yesterday by Corporation Counsel
Lewis. Since the advent of John Alex
anier DoWie in Chicago many cases Of
this nature have been brought to the
notice of the city authorities, out H.
definite action has ever been taken in
such cases until yesterday, when pray
er instead of medicine was being used
In the treatment Of Mrs. Ella Turner,
who is a believer IN Dowie's teachings.
The Woma had beer suffering over
tWenty-four hours and her life was in
imminent peril. as her condition called
for an immediate operation. Instead
of calling a physician the woman's hus-
band n relatives appealed to Overseer
Voliva, OF Iio City. who sent one of
his deacOns to pray for her. The Wom-
ms pain increased 50 much that her
cries attarcted the attention Of q neigh
Dor. who reported the case to the health
department. The police at once placed
the matter in the hands OF the health
department and 1t was referred to Cor
poration COunSel Lewis, who expressed
the opinion that the health department
was justified in interfering in such ex-
IRENE cases. A physician was sent to
attend the woman and her suffering
was stopped.

HIS UNCLES LOST.
Search for Brothers Of Governor John.
sons Mother Being Made in

Aurora, Ill. March 7.-Search is be-,
Ing made here for Andrew and John
Hadden, brothers Of Mrs. L. johnson,
mother OF Governor John A. johnson
Of Minnesota.
Mrs. Johnson, whose maiden name
was Caroline Hadden, and her three
brothers came to America from Sweden
In 1855, and located In Chicago. Short
~ afterwards their parents died, leav-
ing the children without a guardian.
The girl went to St. Peter, Mimi, where
h married.
The boys were placed in a Chicago
orphans home, and since then Mrs.
Johnson has heard nothing of them.
Not long after leaving Chicago, she
visited the home to inquire concerning
her brothers whereabouts, but the only
information she could secure was that
they had been adopted. She learned
that Andrew was living with an Eng
fish family either in or near Aurora.
Lars, she found, had been adopted by n
Chicago family In Geneva, twelve miles
north of Aurora.
The information vas not of material
assistance, as she was unable to secure
the names Of the families.
For years Mrs. johnson waited to
hear from her brothers, but no letters
ever have reached her. A letter has
been received here from Miss Hattie
|. Johnson. sister of Minnesota's gov
ernor, soliciting the aid of Aurora's at
torneys in the search for the three men.
The case is a most interesting one, and
several Aurora people have taken up
the inquiry.
If the Aurora attorneys who have
taken up the case locate the MADDEN
boys, Governor Johnson will visit Au-
rora to identify them.

by the spirit of her dead husband, who
founded the business she now conducts.
There Is no place In the world,''
said Mrs. Gaylord, where there are SO
man Christian and godly men as in
Wall street. Otherwise she added,
where would I BET"
Mrs. Gaylord has achieved the dis
tiaction of taking owe the management
Of theIbond business which was founded
by her late husband forty years ago.
Yes, every morning after I arrive
In the city," said Mrs. Gaylord, IT
spend a few moments In old Trinity in
prayers. That was a custom of my hus-
band, who was one of the most cody
men that eve lived. Before we begin
business here we have q prayer meeting
young tmen whom I am teaching the
business. I conduct the services, as
sisted by my partner. Mr. Fletcher.
According to Scriptures.
I'VE carry on our work here accord
ing to the teaching Of the scriptures.
Even If I make only one-quarter OF one
per cent. that is enough. and business
is coming in from every part of the
country, 1t is perfectly wonderful.
Only yesterday two loans came In. one
for $4,000, 900 and M for 1000, 900.
The deals will be closed tomorrow. I
believe the Lord is educating me In
this. I know He Is helping me and the
money I make Will go to the Lord.

Christ's precepts he would be just as
rich and; far happier than he is.
IF Christ was on earth there would
be an even greater opportunity Of at
tanning financial success in Wall street
than there i. and the rich men would
enjoy clear co~nsciences besides.
Yes, some lambs would still be
sheared; for, like the foolish virgins of
scripture. there are those who are still
poor househoiders and who will be
found wanting when the opportunity
comes.
What about John D. Rockefeller?
Now, not q word I am not at liberty
to say what 1 think about him. In
fact, I would not give my opinion of
him to anyone. I leave that to the
Lord. But John d. Rockefeller, jr.,
believe to be a good man at heart. He
has been put in a false light. The very
best of Christians are sometimes placed
in a false light, though not Of their own
accord"
