We cannot say with certainty but 1t
seems probable that the hot central ball
of the star is surrounded by a dense
envelope of gas, and that it is a violet
disturbance occurring periodically in this
central mass, which upheaves the brighter
and hotter material, and enables its light

NERVOUSNESS
AND INSOMNIA

James New Discovery.

Charles B. James, the eminent scien-

world as having done more for the re-
lief of those afflicted with drunkenness
and the drug habit than any man liv-
Ing, has discovered probably the only
eff1cacious remedy known for the cure
of nervousness, insomnia and indiges-
ton. 1t is a harmless compound of
hops, lettuce and celery, scientifically
blended. Many letters. overlooking
with gratitude and appreciation like the
following, have been received:

curse of insomnia and nervousness, I
had come to the point where my back
hurt me necessarily.

strength and thereby wrecking their

in his receiving hundreds of letters of

FALL SESSION
NOW IN PROGRESS
Thorough Work In the Birmingham
Academy of Music Is Creating
Great Interest.

Besides the classes in piano, theory,
harmony, counterpart, composition,
form, sight reading, and history of mu-
sic, there is a very interesting class d.
1ected by Miss Daisy Rowley that is be-
coming well known throughout the south
and that has for the past few years been
attended by many teachers from several
states
This class is only for teachers or adj
vanced pupils who intend to become
teachers. Many advanced pupils who
wish to pay for their own lessons often
organize a small class in their neigh
borhood for this purpose. If they are
we'll prepared this may be done with
excellent result; If not prepared, for the
work. it may produce a very serious re-
suit for the pupil
Very often teachers take a summer
course at northern or eastern conserva-
tories. A short period of study like this
does not always prepare these teachers
for the work they must do at home. How
many pupils does a teacher have who
are advanced enough to take the WORK
the teacher has herself taken? Certain
principles may be applied, but the teach
er is still at a loss concerning the mu-
steal literature to be used
Miss Rowley studied over this diff
years work in Germany and this normal
class for the -four primary grades is the
, result of years of careful Thought ano
study. The work is very interesting. Each
class is limited to ten members. Miss
Rowley takes a pupil who has never had
piano lesson and who is seven years
of age.
The class is arranged in semi-circle
around the piano and notes are taken
by the class as Miss Rowley gives the
lesson. When the pupil leaves, the les
son is reproduced with original ideas.
Then comes the regular dctatfon work
of a full description and illustration ol
every finger exercise, scale. stude, soma
tine, etc, that should be used at each
lesson, and how they are to be given also
discussion on each subject.
A list Of the works used in each grade
is given and full Instructions on each.

This class might be called a musca
missionary class according TO the goot
work it is doing. So much depends upon
a correct foundation and so few parents
realize the importance of the primary
work that they often look for a ''cheap'

WORKING VALUE
OF A SURPLUS

Henry Clews in American Industries.
Surplus to the mandatory is what
seed and fertilizer are to the farmer-it
is the business life insurance policy. A
concern that has stock to sell and that
is really a stock jobbing enterprise will
vote its surplus into the dividend; but
the intelligent investor will be more i'm
pressed with a wholesome reserve than
by forced premiums. A reasonable sur
plus at once suggests to ALL to the man
seeking a fair investme emit, to the bank
looking for a new customer that 1t may
recommend to houses that wish to know
the goods they sell will be paid for, and
to the state that wishes to foster its en-
terprises that those in control are men
of experience and honesty of purpose.
The amount of surplus that a concern
should keep on hand must naturally be
regulated by the nature of its work. the
amount of capital invested and the av-
erage cost OF operation as figured during
ordinary periods. There are several
qualifying conditions. The greatest of
these is hazard, the degree to which the
element of chance enters into the under
taking The possibility of great loss is
feature that must be considered in the
conduct of many legitimate Industries and
the masufactory that has this question
confronting it must carry a heavy per-
centage of reserve, even at the cost of
expansion and increased facilities; if they
would have a long life and a healthy
one.
No industry may advance to any
prominent position without the aid of at
least one bank. And the bank, to be able
to render the proper service, must be
sure of the strength of the customer.
Bankers are often questioned regarding
their depositors when the depositor
knows nothing of it, but the result of
such an interview may have most pos
tive effect on the earnings, and even on
the standing of the business under dis
cussion.
