STREET CAR SYSTEM
IS BEST IN COUNTRY
Davis Says Birmingham Leads
Whole Nation
LOS ANGELES AN EXCEPTION
Cars Here Cost More, Tracks Are Bet
ter and Crowds Are Handled With
Greater Facility Than
Elsewhere.
LOS ANGELES AN EXCEPTION

Birmingham has the best equipped
street car system in this country, with
the possible exception of Los Angeles, .
said George II. Davis. of Ford, Bacon &
Davis, which firm Is interested In many
street car systems In the United States.
Il do not say that because we are inter-
ested in the Birmingham street sys-
tenn, for we are interested In many
others. but l say 1t because l think it Is
so. We devote all our attention To street
car systems and the other allied public
utilities. and keep pretty we'll informed
on them, not only our own, but those in
every town or city of any size in the
country.
81 have personally studied nearly every
street car system in this country, and |
say without hesitation that Birmingham
has the best l except Los Angeles be-
cause 1 have never been there, but they
tell me that it has an excellent systm.
eve buy street cars for many cities,
and we pay more for the Birmingham
cars than for any others, with possibly
the exception of San Francisco, where
the cars are similar to the Birmingham
cars. The cars we have just bought and
are buying for Birmingham cost about
$1,000 more per car than those in Chicago,
more than those in Kansas City and more
than those in several other cities. As
a rule the rolling stock here Is superior
to that in Atlanta, and far superior to
that of New Orleans and many other
cities.
Handles Crowds Well.
tIa r,attar baud1iuo tho crowds
Birmingham gives better service than
any other city with which | am familiar
More cars are provided and a greater
percentage of people secure seats during
the rush hours in the afternoon than In
other cities. In some places | have seen
them hanging to the back of the car, to
the running boards and anywhere else
they could hang to Il ear. In New YORK
they have to close the elevated gates to
keep the crowds out, and sometimes the
crowds are so dense that they cannot
close the gates.
Birmingham would not stand for the
car service which some other cities have.
For instance, they are still operating 100
miles of horse cars in New York. Would
Birmingham stand for such a thing?
am sure she would not.
Tracks Greatly Superior.
THE tracks here are better, the rails
heavier and, in fact, what we call the
physical part of the system is better
here than any OF the other cities. MIR.
Emery has been connected with the At
lanta lines, and he will verify my state
ment that Birmingham gives better serv-
nd tho pbVQipa1
properties are better.
1.-THE street car company here has made
more progress than anywhere else. The
people who were here FIVE years ago will
be able TO appreciate the improvements
that have been made. We have kept
abreast of the times and have given good
service.
II therefore do not hesitate to say that
Birmingham has the best street car sys-
tenn"

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should a list of the ingredients of Pc.
runa be submitted to any medical ex.
pert, ofwhatever school or nationality.
ne would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one ofthem was ofun-
doubted value in chronic catarrhal dis
eases, and had stood the test of many
years experience in the treatment OF
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER. Peruna is composed the most
efficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient
OF Peruna has a reputation of its own
In the cure ofsome phase of catarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COM
B1NED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl-
edge ofthe modern pharmacist; and last
but tnotleast, brings to the home the vast
and varied experience of DR.. Hartman,
intheuse ofcatarrh remedies, and in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis.
ease which is very prevalent. MANY
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. 1t may be ofthe nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma.
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried to
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and O.,
the strictest uniformity. His idea il
that this remedy can besupplied direct.
ly to the people, and no more be charged
for it than is necessary for the
handling fit.
No other household remedy so uni.

label the principal active constituents
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection Of the critics.

ASTRONOMY FOR LANDsMEN.

How Watch or Clock May BE Reg
ulated by Observing u Star.
When some Investigator makes the
discovery" that the points Of the CON-
pass can be approximately determined
by looking at the sun and using a
watch to show the divisions Of the
plane 1t is apt to 60 the rounds of the
press as something very peculiar If
this discoverer were sufficiently con-
versant with the principles of naviga-
tion to note for the public benefit that
the running of watch or clock may
be regulated by observing a star he
might confer some practical benefit.
This Is very simple thing to do and
might be of great use in country
place where accurate time Is not al
ways obtainable, but all that is neces-
sary Is fixed location on the earth's
surface and any old thing in the way
Of a timepiece.
Choose a south window from which
any other fixed point comparatively
near and high, such as chimney, side
OF a building, ETC., may be seen. To
the side of window fasten a piece Of
card having a small hole in it, so that
by looking through the hole with one
eye toward the edge Of the elevated OBJ
ject some fixed star may be seen.
Watch the progress of the star, and
the instant it vanishes behind the fix
ed point the observer must note the ex-
act time Is disappears. Watch the
same star the following night, and it
will vanish behind the same object
just three minutes and fifty-six sec
onds sooner. If the timepiece marks
8 O'Clock when the star disappears one
night 1t should indicate three minutes
and fifty-six seconds less than the
following night. If several cloudy
nights occur together, follow the first
observation and deduct the product
from clock time to find the time the
star will pass.-Marine Journal.

Is THERE INSANITY
Absolute Sanity Declared by Expert
Not to Exist

Absolute Sanity Declared by Expert
Not to Exist.
AngloSaXons are so prone to take
| common-sense views of things that they
seldom realize the full force of the IA
miliar saying that all men have some
form of madness in them, says Current
Literature. The second inference Is. as
is pointed out by DR.. G. II. Savage, the
eminent English alenist, in a recent
Lancet paper, that perfect sanity would
be not only undesirable in itself, t..t
| from strictly scientific point of view
impossible. For a perfectly sane per-
son-were such a thing thinkable-
would be dull and uninteresting-a
mediocrity, nonentity. The point to
seize, however, as DR.. Savage i'm.
presses upon us, is that there can be nc
comprehensive idea or definition of in.
sanity, because the thing does not
really exist. No scientist can set up
any standard of nationality departure
from which would comprise or denote
insanity. One can diagnose case Of
typhoid because 1t is a continued fe-
yer characterized by peculiar course
Of the temperature, by marked abdom-
lnal symptoms, by an eruption upon
the skin. But there is nothing in what
goes by the name Of insanity to further
diagnosis as that term Is understood
by medical men generally. Some
treatises upon insanity prove nothing at
all by proving too much, for they make
whole nations insane at once. Physi-
clans connected with insanity, as DIR.
Savage argues, resemble gardeners
rather than botanists I'VE classify
for convenience rather than upon a
scientific basis because, in point Of fact
no such basis or finality of mode has as
yet been discovered"
Perhaps, adds DR.. Savage, there Is
no need to wonder at this, since many
have to be treated as lunatics whose
brains and nervous systems show no
change whatever from the normal
course of what is recognized as sanity.
Unfortunately, the impulse to define
and classify sometimes leads to misin-
depreciation of deplorable kind. Such,
for example, is the false view, as DR..
Savage deems it, that every person of
unsound mind Is lunatic. That, he
says, ts "pseudo-legap absurdity.
obviously there are many persons of
unsound mind who are neither danger
Gus to themselves nor to others-why,
therefore, regard them as aliens?" The
true difficulty, insists this distinguished
expert, is that the disease insanity does
not exist Yet one might almost con.
clude from the elaborate articles in our
leading daily journals that such thing
as Insanity is definitely established
scientific fact, that it is malady as
definite in its symptoms and origin as
say, cancer or tuberculosis.

sad Mistake OF nm Actor.

An actor without fund managed IN
some way to get a second-class ticket
on line Of steamers running between
Seattle and San Francisco. The voy-
age between these two points consumed
the better part Of three days and in
view of the fact that his finances were
at low ebb he solved the question in
this way:
The first day out he slept all day to
keep from eating, and remained up all
night to keep from sleeping The Sec
ond day he took physical culture exer-
cises. On the third day he could not
stand the strain any longer and went
down In the dining room and ordered
the best meal on board the boat.
While eating this meal he could see
In his minds eye picture of a cell in
the bastile in San Francisco. After
finishing his meal he said to the wait
er: How much do owe you"

meals were included in your ticket"
