 Better Roads.
NOVEL ADVERTISING PLAN

The Board of Trade and the Wholesale Grocers' association have taken up the fight for the overton good roads amend ment in earnest, and are jumping into the campaign not only with inducements but real first hand work.
 The two organizations will print 2O,UO little addresses to the voters of Alabama calling their attention to the importance of the amendment and the good it will do. These will be printed on small slips of paper and every retail and wholesale merchant in Birmingham has agreed to put one in every letter he sends out from now until the election. This will serve to bring the matter right before the peo- ple in the light of two of the most con- servatfve organizations of the state
 This is the result of the address made by State Senator John W. Overton be- fore the good roads committee of the Board of Trade yesterday morning. Mir. Overton made a fine impression and his talk, though brief, gave a full idea Of the purpose of his amendment His ob- feet was to save the state thousands Of dollars a year. He said that for 50 years no improvement has been made. Ala bama still has her awful system of roads, but that within b years with system that really amounts to something her roads would be a subject of national ad- miration.
 Sid W. Lee thought that nothing would aid education so much as good roads, and pointed out that nothing had done so much already for education as the rural free delivery. Calling attention to the fact that some of these routes are being cut off on account of impossible roads he insisted that it is time something is being done.
 why. if you don't hurry. men as old as Mel Drennen here won't get to see these fine roads," said MT Lee. MT Lee was the author of the idea to send slips in the letters of the merchants.
 MT. Drennen said that he not only hoped to help get the amendment through. but he expected his boys to drive over the roads which he helped to build. Presi- dent R. W. Ewing and all the other members thanked Senator Overton for his talk and expressed to him their willing ness to fight, speak and act for the amendment whenever called upon.
 This resolution was adopted.
 Resolved. That the Birmingham Board of Trade indorse the Overton amendment to the state constitution and to use it's most earnest efforts to secure the adop- i tion of the proposed good roads amend ment"

WANTS MORE GOULD MONEY
BonI Sues for an Annual Donation Of
$4,000

Paris, July 1S.-Count Boni de Cas-
tellane has formally filed suit for
such revision of the decree of divorce
obtained against MIN by his wife, who
was Miss Anna Gould of New York as
will give him the custody of his three
children. The hearing has been set
for July q. Since the divorce Nine.
Gould has married Prince Hele de
Sagan, Count Boni's cousin.
The principal set forth by Count
Boni is that the past record of the
Prince de Sagan makes him unworthy
to be in close relationship to his chill
dren, hut the conduct of the Princess
in travelling with the Prince prior 10
the marriage of the pair also is in
voked. If allowed to remain with the
Sagans, the summons declares, the
children would be brought up to dis
like their father AS corollary the
count asks the court to order the
mother of the children to contribute
$4,000 annually toward the mainten-
ance of each child
NJ. Cachard attorney for the prin-
cess de Sagan had this comment 10
make: Count Boni's modest request
for 100000 is 4 sufficient commentary
upon this suit"

New York, July 1S.-Theodore w.
Myers, Wall street broker and former
ly comptroller of New York City is a
passenger on the Kalserin Augusta
Victoria now on its way to Europe.
Just before the steamship left her
pier he expressed optimistic views on
the business outlook:
Never before in all my experience
in the financial world have seen bus
mess prospects so favorable" ne
said. Time was when we had to de-
pend entirely upon crops, which this
year promise to be very large, but
now we are one OF the largest pro-
ducers of gold and other metals of the
world.
Eve are either ultra-conservative
or extremely radical in times of finan.
cial stringency and | believe the finan-
cial panic from which we have safely
emerged was caused by overprosper-
lty, transportation and overcapitali-
cation. However, now our factories
are again running full time our large
jobbers and retailers are forced to re-
stock and this means the dawning of
a prosperity such as the country mas
never before known.
Railroad stocks are firm, and are
selling on a higher basis here than
abroad and with more purchasers.
Confidence has been completely res
tored and long era OF continued
prosperity is assured"

Diaduction .

Diaduction may be used to re-ani
mate three classes Of living organ
ism, namely: Human beings, ami
mails and plants, and thus there are
three branches; the Popular, simple
enough for any sensible, ten year
old child; the Scientific, familiar on
ly to the Dscoverer, for use at the
eleventh hour; the Industrial, for
use in fostering the welfare of valu-
able farm animals, fowls, plants.
flowers, etc.
In short, Diaduction as learned and
developed by the Discoyerer during
the last half century, applies to any.
thing that lives. AS with any
science, for instance, surveying ar
chitecture, astronomy, there must be
implements, instruments, tools"
with which to utilize. to cause action;
and thus in Diaduction, as in Nature
Itself, there are Devices adapted to
Cause various effects, three of these
Diaductive means to ends being
named, to wit: Oxydonor, Vitara and
Panaxora,, each of which is adapted
to use by the general public, and
their proper use makes doctors and
supposed remedies not only useless
but absolutely foolish because, II
Diaduction is available, he who re-
sorts to drugs or knives commits
suicide. Dragging and knitting, II
done with knowledge OF the asser.
lions made by the Discoverer Of Dia-
duction are mortal offenses against
the person. The Natural Laws,
which are the Emanation Of the Su-
preme, do not condone the slightest
violation, while obedience to those
laws confers immunity to disease. or
the only possibility of recovery from
1t.
The achievements OF Doctor Sanche
in developing to Perfect Success the
science of Diaduction, and making its
utilization available to every sane
human being, have made doctors and
remedies, together with all the Re-
hash-Barbarism, an insult TO intelli.
gence, an offense against omnisclence
and demand that man shall make
knitting and drugging statutory
crimes.
Nature is an infallible curer; the
Laws of Diaduction are the Laws
OF Nature, the Laws of The Omnipo
tent. Obey or perish!

NO CHAMPIONSHIP
No Individual Nation Declared Win
ner OF Olympic Games

London, July 1S.-The British Olym-
pic association has concluded not to
decide the championship of the nat
ions competing In the Olympic games
In London this year and the SAINT de-
cision applies to the sports now going
on at the stadium at Shepherds Bush.
The original idea was to offer a tro-
ply for the country securing the great
est number OF points in all games,
those held in the stadium and those
played at various clubs, such as the
tennis at Queens club which~was won
by Jay Gould and the rifle matches at
Bisley but the difficulty Of arriving at
an equitable method of alloting the
points, was so great that the idea has
been dropped.
The committee worked out several
schemes, but each was open to so
many objections on account Of unfair
ness to one nation or another, and the
|attempt to reach a fair basis having
been found impossible, the British
Olympic association had to decide re-
luctantly not to offer trophies OF any
kind excepting the gold silver and
bronze medals In each competition.
Capt. w. Jones. assistant secretary
Of the association, gave out this infor-
nation He said: 1.-THE different coun
tries will have to decide the matter
to their own satisfaction. America,
probably more than any other nation,
would have cause for complaint If we
attempted to award a championship.
The distance to the United States is
great, and the Americans were not
expected to have as many entries as
the United Kingdom; in some events
such as pigeon shooting and lawn ten
mis-, America is not represented.
Therefore, If points were awarded for
every event, the United Kingdom
would have a walkover"
The Americans competing in the
stadium games are simply going In for
the championships in the field events
and are counting their points by the
American method, five for flrsts, three
for seconds and one for thirds.
