The Problems Of the Poor

Miss Jane Adams has much to say
about the lack of foresight In parents
who sacrifice their children for the
sake of home, "a modest home and
lace curtains" being often the reason
for the work of the white slave chill.
dren in the factories. Life seems a
pretty complicated problem for the
poor and no simple or direct process
seems possible In the solving. Each

the only way out Of the difficulty.

GOING TO INSPECT
 ALL SIGNS IN CITY
AUTHORITIES THINK LAWS REG uLATING ELECTRIC AND OTHER SIGNS ARE BEING VIOLATED. MANY AWNINGS TOO LOW.

Building Inspector W. o. Matthews and making a general inspection of the city to see that all electric and other signs conform with the law. Within, the past few weeks all sorts of signs have been erected throughout the city in the most slip-shod manner, giving a ragged and unattractive appearance which the au- thorities nave always been against.
 The law requires that electric signs must have one light fer every IS square inches of surface or one large light of 5O-candlepower to equal smaller lights n the same space. According to the re- quirements of the city ordinances all electric signs must be kept lighted every night until 9 o'clock.
 Mayor Ward stated yesterday afteronon that if the new lighting system can be properly installed and the proper candle power maintained it may be used for signs. However, no other sign of any description is allowed to hang over the sidewalks unless a special permit can be shown. Police officers will be detailed on this work and see that the law is inforced.
 Within the past few weeks there have been scores of little revolving signs placed throughout the city. It is specified in the city code that these signs shall not be less than six and one-half feet above the sidewalk. This requirement. is being generally violated.
 In various parts of the city there are also a number of awnings which do not come up to the requirements of the law. All awnings must be seven feet in the clear above the sidewalk.

DAIRYMEN MUST (
 PAY LICENSES
Mayor Sends List of Names and Asks That Licenses Be
 Revoked.

The Mayor, in conjunction with City License Collector J. J. Boggan. is get ting in behind the matter of delinquent licenses. It seems that there are quite a number of delinquents, and these must either pay their licenses or suffer the con sequence of having them revoked. The following is significant:
 May 16, 1908. To the Honorable City Council of Br- mingham:
 Conference.-The following dairymen have either refused or failed to pay their licenses, although demand has been made for same:
 R. A. Berry, G. w. Walker, J. E. Haig- Ter, Walker Bros, G. o. and C. J.; J. A. Kent, w B. Baker & Son, A. c. Miller, c. c. Bearden, J. T. Levie, H. T. Gra- ham, D. M. Bearden, w. M. Hardie. w. E. Bowen, N F. Thompson, J. B. Nor ris, c. Norris I. L. Logan, Fuqua Bros., J. Ed Haigler, w. l.. Hamlett, w. R. Wright, Gap Stramler, colored; w M Lovelass, F. M. Lovelass F. M. Wright Braham & Davis, J. S. Simp, P M.s Can- non, J. T. Baxter, J. R. Stanfield, l.. E.. Strong, s. w. Smith and w. R. Davis. In view of the trouble we have every year in collecting from dairymen l here with suggest that you revoke permits to do business in the city of Birmingham heretofore issued to these parties by the milk Inspector unless license is paid with in such time as you may fix.
 I further believe the people of Birmng- ham will assist the authorities by refus- ing to deal with milllmen who refuse to conform to our regulations. Very truly

WARPED IN TWO STATES. J. H. Johnson Held Here For Offenses
 In Alabama and Florida.

J. H. Johnson, a native of Florida, who has just completed a term in the Flat Top mines, being sent up from Baldwin county, is being held in the county jail awaiting the arrival of of ficers from Bay Minnette, Ala, and Me David, Fla, the auth critics in both places having charges against him.
 Two charges are docketed against him in Baldwin county for carrying concealed weapons, while the Florida auth critics want him on a grand larceny charge. A requisition from Florida has already been honored by Governor B. B. Conner.
 Johnson completed his term on May and was immediately rearrested and placed~in the Jefferson county jail, re- quests having been received by Sheriff Higdon to hold him. A letter received from Deputy Sheriff A. w. Brewton of McDavid Fla, states that Johnson comes from one of the wealthiest fami- lies in Florida, and that he will very probably pay his fine there and dispose of this charge against him. This let ter also states that Johnson passed under the alias of D. Sanders.
 It has not yet been decided to which authorities the prisoner will be turned over but it is very probable that ne will be sent to Baldwin county and the Alabama charges against him heard before he is given to another state.

FIT THE GROCER. Wife Made the Suggestion.

A grocer has excellent opportunity to know the effects of special foods on his customers. A Cleveland grocer has . long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee.
 He says, regarding his own experiences: Two years ago I had been drinking cof- fee and must say that I was almost wrecked in my nerves.
 Particularly in the morning I was so irritable and upset that I could hardly wait until the coffee was served, and then I had no appetite for breakfast and did not feel like attending to my store duties
 One day my wife suggested that inas- much as I was selling so much Postum there must be some merit in 1t and sug- gested that we try it. I took homo a package and she prepared it according to directions. The result was a very happy one. My nervousness gradually disap- peared and today I am all right. I would advise everyone affected in any way with nervousness or stomach troubles to leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee" There's a Reason Read '"rhe Road to Weilyille." in pkgs.

shaling them into the main room of the club. The men were scattered about in groups in different rooms of the club. a number of them drinking a liquid, which in the deputies opinion warranted their arrest for violating the prohibition law.
 News of the raid spread rapidly in Bessemer and created great, sensation in the proposed capital of the proposed county of Bessemer. The number "31' contained not few of the prominent cit izens of that town and consternation reigned among them for awhile. There was no chance for escape, as deputies were stationed outside, and the sudden developing of five innocent looking cit- zens into grim officers of the law caused some of the members to become so limp that they could hardly arise

In fact, l am pretty sure that they did not. Generally some prominent citizen is appointed ehairman of a committee of viewers, and whoever had this job in charge should get busy and let Us lear from his committee at once.
 There is no doubt that this St Charles street road is badly needed and it will prove a blessing to the family that wants to own a South Highland home, but can't afford to pay $100 per foot Tor lot. This road will open up cheap South Highland prop ertvn
