Soon the delegates will gather from the North, East

There will be great connection which will spread

And they'll hagge platforms and pretend to be
Just if they thought the people and never

They will saw the air and thunder, they will tear their

And go through the same old motions they have gone

They will point with pride and also they will view with

They will promise all that's lovely to the upon the

They will scold the trusts and railroads and denounce

BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, February Especial
correspondence Prohibition went into effect on
January 1 the whole area of the coal and
iron country of this state It's results have been
watched with the utmost interest and have as
founded the enemies of Prohibition and surpassed
the widest hopes of the friends of the policy.
The saloons closed on the drop of the hour set
by law and efforts to evade or violate its pro-
visions have been few and notably unsuccessful
The number of arrests made in this city in
December under saloons Lila, an average of
thirty-six day. The total for January was 39S,
or fourteen day. In December the street gang
contained on an average thirty white men. In
January the average fell to five. One day during
the latter part of the month only person was
sent to the street gang and on another day not
cent was taken in by the police judge.
Bessemer, Ensey Gadsden, Jasper and Annis
ton, all iron and steel working towns, where
twelve to fifteen prisoners wont to face the
police judge every morning. each reports days
when there no business for the court. There
was not homicide case in any of those cities
in January. The undertakers declare that their
ambulances rusting in their stalls
Nor is the change shown in crime alone. Acct
dents have decreased in numbers. An official of
the United States Steel Corporation at Ensley has
given out this statement:
"Thwty men acre killed by one kind of acct
dent or another during December in the mines,
furnaces and mills of this company. The record Of
accidents in January shoes decrease of SIXTY
percent"
The fact is known to all observers that acct
dents in the streets have suddenly and astonish-
ingly ceased. Street car casualties were formerly
of daily occurrence. Sometimes these casualties
were due to fights, again to careessness. They
are not occurring now.
The panic that some interested parties attempt
ed to work up over the glut Of empty business
places in this city proves groundless. On Tween
tieth street, the main artery of the city, every
saloon but one has been succeeded by another line
of business. Four shoe stores, clothing store,
several restaurants drug store and other enter
prises have replaced the saloons.
Nor do any signs appear of the crushing out of
other lines of business by the increase of occu-
patton license fees that some northern papers
have had so much to say about. The record of the
probate office, where business licenses are is
sued shows 1,O44 state and county licenses issued
up to January 25, 1908, against 1929 up to Janu-
airy 49, 1907, showing an increase in this number
of business houses in spite of the closing of three
hundred saloons in the county-perhaps because
of the closing of the saloons.

And he adds with what is intended to
be pleasant good humor: Il can't see

tell by the sound of the cough; they
don't cough anything at all alike"
"They don't?" says the astonished
Mr.. Flatdweller, whats the differ

Ter:
why, one coughs with mans
voice and the other coughs with a
woman's voice"
And at that Mr.. Flatdweller said
nothing aloud; but he said to himself
that that was the first time he ever
knew that the sex of an unseen cough

Let re caution all who are inter.
ested in psychic development to first
count the costs. 1t is much easier to
awaken the subjective power than it is
to control it. All is well so long as the
objective has control but not so when
the subjective gains supremacy beyond
the power of the objective to say
thus far and no farther"

in this state California; extended HIS
Investigations to the extent that he
heard, or thought he heard, voices. He
lost his mental balance, reason abdi-
Gated her throne and he ended life's
6tful dream by his own hand. Thus
Dr. Jekyl changed himself into Mr..
Hyde once too often.
Possibly the greatest stickler in the
minds of spiritists is the query so of
ten proponnded by them, viz: eff two
empodled spirits can communicate
with each other by means of telepathy
why cannot disembodied spirit com
municate with an embodied spiTit in
the same way?"
This is usually supposed to be a set
tier. Il is, from the viewpoint of the
spiritist because his mind is settled
when he asks it. No amount of argu-
ment can ever convert a deep-dyedin-
the-wool spiritist.
Ihls important question is best an
swered in DR.. Hudson's own words:
AS for myself, l do not know why
they cannot do not even know that
they cannot-so communicate. The
question is, Do spirits of the dead COM
municate with the living through me-
diums?"

ism extant, and with unbiased judy
ment, have | sought and sought in

considered it possible for spirits of the
dead to commune with the living He
would have taken this occasion to i'm

so, the import of the parable is that
it is neither possible nor expedient,
for any purpose whatever, for spirits
OF the dead to communicate with the
living.

HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
a Way in Which 1t May Be Identified
Before Using.

After a building has been painted
long enough for weather test, it is
easy to tell if the paint used was made
of pure White Lead or not. But such
helated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants is a test that will
tell the quality of the paint before it
and the labor Of putting it on are
paid for.
Nature has provided a way in which
genuine White Lead may be positive
Iy distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend a
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me-
tallic lead, and, under intense heat,
such as is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolve itself back
into metallic lead. If, however, it is
not genuine White Lead, or if it con-
tains the slightest trace of adultera-
ton, the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe' test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test of paint before using
it. and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the elbow
pipe" or any other test. To make it
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re-
quest a blow-pipe and everything nee
essary for you to make the test, to-
gether with a valuable booklet on
paint. Address, National Lead Com
pany, Woodbridge Building, New York
