COD LIVER OIL.

lit almost makes you sick
to think of lit, but it isn't
nearly as bad as it used to
be. The improved method
of refining it makes it
much easier to take, and
when made into Scott's
Emulsion almost every one
cam take it. Most children
like it and all children that
are mot robust are bene=
fitted by it. When the
doctor says s'Ta AXE cod liver
oils'' he generally means
Scott's Emulsion; ask him
if he does mt. They know
it is more easily digested
ard better than the plain
oil.

Miss Green said the majority OF the peo-
pie who come into contact with others as
askers of assistance are those who seem
to move along the line of least resistance
and who have. as some one has said, wish
bones instead of backhones." Continuing,
Miss Green said:
Some people say that the Associated
Charities have a peculiar way of dispensing
charity, and that they do not like the sys-
tenn. Well. they can correct that If they
will only aid in the movement. The AS
ISOLATED Charities invites persons to be-
come members of the conferences that are
attached to tie various stations of the
charities in the different sections of the
city. One does not have to be a con-
trtbutor to tie charities to become a mem
Der of one of the conferences and to give
aid in determining how the work of the
Associated Charities shall be carried on in
different sections of the city"
In conclusion. Miss Green spoke of the

many CT them grow up.

The plans of the Rev Dr. J. A. Dun can. pastor of the First Methodist church. for an institutional church in Birmingham are shaping themselves and the institu- ton. will be inaugurated shortly.
 A club composed of some of the most active members of the church has been organized and it's first regular meeting will be held next month, at which time plans will be made for conducting the work. The club will have a number of subdivisions. including a literary organ ization, a musical organization, Bible study organization and a branch for amusements.
 An orchestra will be organized and 1t will practice regularly and take part in all the services held at the church. meeting of those who will probably take part in the orchestra was held last night at the church and plans were discussed. There were a number of musical people present and the indications are that the orchestra will number a dozen or more musicians of the church.
 Early in the fall, when every one is back from their summer vacations, the plans will be worked out on a larger scale. The church will be kept open good portion of the day and during the early hours of the night, and number of flea lures will be introduced to add to the interest in church work.

PLAN TO ADVERTISE
 CITY'S ADVANTAGES
THE COMMERCIAL CLUB, THE T. p. A. AND THE U. c. r. TO HOLD A JOINT MASS MEETING AT THE COMMERCIAL CLUB TONIGHT.

A joint meeting of the Commercial club. the United Commercial Travellers and the Travellers Protective association will be held tonight in the Commercial club room for the purpose of arranging systematic system of boosting Birmingham.
 The matter was taken up some time ago by the club and the two orders of travel ing men and tonight was set as the date for a big rally. The matter has been thor oughly advertised by all three of the or ganizatons and the indications are that there will be a large attendance at the meeting Invitations have been sent to the members of the Commercial club, the T. P. A. and the '. C. T. to be present and strong committees have been appoint ed from each organization.
 It is believed that Birmingham can be more systematically advertised by the travelling men than in any other man. ner. They go into every city and town ir the state, and they meet hundreds and thousands of men in day The idea is to provide all travelling men with reliable information in regard to Birmingham and it's advantages for men in every line of business. It Is the desire to get all trav- cling men to spread literature in all towns in which they go and arrangements will be made to provide this literature. which will probably be similar to the little booklets which several firms have issued giving facts and figures about the city.
 The press and advertising committee of the club of which c. w. Ufford is chairman, is also preparing to issue a booklet containing a great deal of accu- rate and desirable information about Bir- mingham, and it is probable that these booklets will also be placed in the hands ol the committee.
