no lack Of opportunities to investors. This is
proved hv the fact that interpretations in June
amounted to nearly $500. 900 and were
the highest in any month since January. 1907
The high level at which well established
curities are held especially railroad shares,
is naturally forcing capital to seek other fields
of employment The amounts of new issues
during the last few months have been very
heavy and indications that further amounts
will be forthcoming. since various promoters
schemes are known To be under active consd
Grafton There is. however. marked conserya-
tism the part of bankers handling these
issues which is in striking contrast with the
policy which prevailed before the panic and
which had much to do in bringing on that dis
aster Our general situation is eminently sound. "

MRS. LEO STEINER.


mingham woman a short while ago the Alabama family was the constant attend ant and when every other person fin the family had give up hope of the recovery of his young mistress he was there with a word of good cheer. He doesn't live In the home or even on the premises, and sometimes there are months when the family does not see or even hear from Warren, but if any trouble comes to his white folks or if there is sickness War ren Is the faithful slave of old. and there is nothing to be done that he does not feel willing to do, but even yearn to do. One night during this terrible illness he sat by the kitchen fire all night with nothing to do but hoping that during his vigil he might have the chance to show his devotion by some little act. In an other home where sickness and sorrow came last year the cook (and she is a negress of the modern school so to speak, after the family vigil of weeks showed her faithfuness in the sweetest way imaginable. The housekeeper real izing that she had not been called upon during the last few trying weeks for the usual amount of change for running expenses asked the cook about it. Why. I paid for everything myself I couldn't bear to bother you" There are always occurring numbers of similar incidents which show that the servant problem, while probably at times bad, still could i, be worse-and there are many Birming- ham housekeepers whose trials could be much greater and who would find the continuous round of social duties much more difficult except for the faithfulness of the Birmingham servant.

 For a number of years we have been agents for brine. During that time we have had occa sion to be convinced. be yond a doubt, that brine Is a reputable remedy, worthy of eopmendation. One of the many cases coming to our attention, U mechanic earning $22.50 per week, who had not taken a. full pay envelope home for over five years, was induced to try Orrine. complete cure being the result. The man became worth more to his firm. receiving an advance In pay. and has purchased Il home. The house stands there showing s the merits of Orrine. We cannot help but feel that we were most fortunate when we secured the agency for thls reliable liquor cure'
