Importance of Culinary Department
Increasingly Recognized.
The Importance of the kitchen in the
house plan is being more and more
recognized every day. Two widely diff
fercnt causes have brought this about.

necessity of having only good rooms,
no matter what their uses might be;
knowledge that any badly lit. badly
placed, badly ventilated room means
bad spot in the house, havchelped night

And the cook herself has been an cnor-
nous agent for reform. Her impor-
lance far transccnds that Of any mere
room. AS her personal estimation of
ner value has grown her demands for
accommodations have increased in pro
portion.
The good cook now fatty declines to
work in any but a good kitchen, and
the helpless housekeeper often knows
that cooks of a very inferior quality
will take the same high minded posi-
ton. So the kitchen has been improv-
ed in many ways to meet these modern
conditions, neitheE Of which is con-

Meanwhile Mr.. Butteriield would have
agreed to everything which we Sug-

asked us to hurry die case; we never
asked him for any money.
At last the suit was settled very ad-
yantageously for our client, but, TO our
great regret, he could not come to Bos-

we had planned. He wrote. by his

|. SEWER PRESENTED
WITH HANDSOME GIFTS

Two tokens of friendship and esteem
were presented yesterday to L. Sewer.
general freight agent of the Alabama
Great Southern railroad. who will become
second vice president and traffic man
ager of the Seaboard Air Line on Janu-
airy 1.
One of these gifts, a Swiss movement
repeating watch, was presented to Mr..
Sewer by the freight traffic men of the
Alabama Great Southern railroad. The
other, a solid silver after dinner coffee
set of about forty pieces, was the gift of
the freight traffic men of the city, the
representatives of various lines that have
offices in Birmingham.
The presentations were made in Mr.. Sc
viers office about $50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and some score of his friends
were present at the time. A. G. Smith,
counsel for the Alabama Great Southern,
presented the watch in behalf of Mr. Sc
viers associates of that road He spoke
of the feeling that existed for Mr.. Sewer
in the hearts of all the men who had
worked with him and been associated
with him for these many years. He said
that they had watched him in his con-
nection with the Alabama Great South
ern and seen him grow until he occupied
the position of general freight agent,
which he had filled as no man had filled
1t before.
Mr.. Smith spoke of the friends Mr. Sc
vier had made for himself and for the
railroad, and of the loyalty with which
he had served the road for many years.
He said that the employees of the road
who were presenting the watch felt the
same loyalty towards Mr.. Sewer that he
had shown for the road. Personally he
spoke of the close relations that had ex-
listed between himself and Mr.. SEWER
The watch, he said, would be a con-
slant reminder to Mr.. Sewer that his
friends were still watching him, and said
that all hoped that when he looked at the
watch he would remember them.

At THE Y. NJ. G. A.

DELIVER THE LAST OF HIS
SERIES THIS AFTERNoON-FEL-
lOWSHIP LUNCH.

The programme of the Young Mems
Christian association today is here given.
a. m.-Secretary Jackson entertains
his Sunday morning Bible class in a third
annual breakfast at his home.

s p. MA fellowship lunch; discussion
of 1.-THE Qualities Husband Should
Possess" led by Fulton B. Clark, bene-
diet.
For the past month young men have
crowded the association rooms to hear
those talks by DR.. Moore. He has inter-
ested many in themselves and their own
lives while his thoughts have been APP
preciated by all of the young Christians.
The talk this evening is specially pre-
pared New Years address, appropriate
to the eve of 1907, and expected to be
full of human interest
DIR. Moores Christmas sermon drew
the largest crowd of the month and was
said to have been the triumph of the
series. His discussions are all evangelis-
tic in tenor, suggestively interviewer with
beautiful Illustrations. Every man who
knows the speaker will attend, and take
his friends with him.
Having "Chosen a Wife, last Sunday
the young men are going to attempt to
match her with qualified husband this
afternoon. These discussions are not al
together humorous however, but just In
formal enough to make the fellows feel
perfectly at home, while they give words
to thoughts that they hardly think them
selves capable of. The lunches, too, are
doubly worth eating.

ways cherish 1t as one of his dearest pos
sessions. He said he regretted leaving Bir-
mlngham and his friends on the A. G. s.,
and hoped to make as many and as
staunch friends on the Seaboard. He
spoke of the pleasant relations that had
existed, and said that he hoped his friends
would be able to come to Norfolk and see
him often in the future, as his duties we're
such that he could scarcely come here
as often as he wished.

Mobile and Ohio railroad in Birmingham
