beautiful subjects, which include history poetry, nature, religion and all that Is lovely in life, represented by the matters of old and modern times. So you see the entire fund received through the sale of tickets for the exhibition comes right back Into the school through the pur- chase of the pictures"
 I imagine that the collection will ap- peal to artists and students alike, for the sake of the originals, and to people who enjoy pictures and as well as to those social reformers who believe in the democracy of art. In this way every class is reached and there is no excuse for the ignorance that I once heard 1 Of in nouveau riche couple who, going abroad, heard everywhere of Botticelli. The story has been printed in these col umns before, but is well worth re- beating. It seems that after travelling over Europe and hearing in every locality something of Botticelli the couple fin ally arrived In Paris, and one evening" going to cafe chantant, eagerly sought the menu, the wife declaring that now she would at last have an opportunity to dis cover what Botticelli was like, and there by ordered a bottle. Whereupon her bet ter half remonstrated, saying; 'Oh my dearl Don't show your ignor- ance sol Botticelli is not wine-it's a cheese"
 
 Botticeili from Sano di Pietro-and it is just this ignorance said Mrs. John son, that may be eliminated in the com ing generation by placing art in its most beautiful form before the educable ele- .ment. And this Is Just the idea of the School Improvement association. The mothers of the children are greatly in terested in the work and from time to time we give entertainments and the pro- ceeds go toward beautlfying the school grounds, keeping the flowers and grass in good condition, and purchasing choice pictures drom two to four are already in each room, besides some very good prints in the halls). And, in fact. we want to do egerything to develop the aesthetic and artistic side of the child's nature, as well as the e-practical and ma terial.'
 "I believe there Is to be large addi- ton made to the South Highlands school by fall and that will aecessitate larger field of work, I remarked.
 "Oh, yes," enthusiastically responded Mrs. Johnson, there will be much in the

THE MISSES HARRIS
 HOSTESSES AT TEA,

Miss Jamie Harris and Miss Nelle Har- ris entertained at tea yesterday afternoon in compliment to their guest, Miss Louise Clark of Arkansas. and to Mrs. William Thomas Hill, a bride of the past month.
 The day was a perfect one for such an event. and few of the invited guests failed to respond. The Harris residence was a place of marked beauty with it's elaborate decorations. Spring flowers were intermingled with southern smilax each apartment suggesting veritable flower picture. Mantels and buffets were banked with roses, while a green back ground was effected with graceful vines The hostesses greeted their guests in the parlor. Receiving with them were Mrs. Clarke and Mrs. Hill. Miss Lillian Moore and her guest, Mrs. West of Georgia. The receiving party made an attractive group wearing the daintiest of reception gowns, Miss Harris in white null heavily em- brodered with pink blossoms; Miss Nelle Harris in a similar costume with an embroidered design in green missiles; Miss Clark in handsome blue messalne toll cite, and Mrs Hill in lavepder Miss Moore and her guests wore exquisite aft ernoon gowns.
 In the living room, from a table deco- rated with sweet peas, a delicious punch was served by Miss Jean Ballenger and Miss Edith Bowron, who stood beneath a parasol showered with sweet peas.
 The tea table was presided over by Mrs Russell Hunt and Mrs. Eugene Enslen, Jr. Its decoration was a large cluster of pink carnations resting in a painted vase of lovely design.
 The dining room was artistically deco- rated with Marguerites which made an effective table decoration. A large basket of Marguerites rested on a. mirror, which in turn lay upon a table cover of hand some laces. The mirror was surrounded

with daisies which also fringed the erys- tai candlestieks which lighted the table. Pendent from the chandelier hung a par asol caught with sprays of asparagus vines. It's handle followed the sugges- tion of color in the hearts of the Mar guerites and was entwined with yellow maline and asparagus.
 Among those receiving were Mrs. Felix Blackburn, Mrs. Pugh Pearson, Mrs. An drews, Mrs. Tom Stobert. Mrs. Robert Stobert and Miss Hattie Fowlkes.
 An orchestra, hidden behind a bank of palms in the rear of the hall, played throughout the afternoon.
 Among those leaving cards were Mrs Charles Thomas, Mrs. Frank Whitman Miss Maebelle Roden. Miss Alabama King, Miss Luetta Gregg, Miss Sadie Gillespy, Mrs. Barnes Morgan, Miss Al wis Ehrmann.

Just to illustrate how the children appreciate. their surroundings and how much stress they put on the pictures in the school room, when the sixth grade removed from it's old room accustomed decorations on the walls that they started a subscription to provide some at their own expense"
 q am told that in the school there is the Junior Improvement association. Is that true?" l querieu.
 ''Yes, indeed" said Mrs. Johnson, and the children have entered into the spirit of association work with great enthu- siasm. At recess for some weeks past they have served ice cream and from the proceeds they have fenced In the flower beds which contain over a hun dred plants; have constructed a sand pit for jumping, and they have many other plans in view.'
 Mrs. Johnson, as president of the South Highlands School Improvement associa- ton, has been a worthy successor of Mrs. John w. Tomlinson, who, during her term of office, accomplished many good results for the school. Mrs. Johnsons enthu- siasm as well as her intellectual and highly cultured nature, make her an ideal representative .of work that is of in terest to nearly all of Birmingham, and sine and her associates will no doubt have the cordial support of the art lovers and intelligent element of the community in the exhibition of pictures for the next three days.
 When the Turner exhibit was present. ed in St. Louis recently the superintend- ent of the public schools declared that he regarded this display of pictures as one of the greatest mediums for educat- ing the pupils that has been attempted in many years, the photographs being marvellous works of art and never be- for surpassed in beauty or merit.'

"The great source of pleasure is vari- ety." said the contentious Dr. Johnson. and if the great lexicographer had lived in this day and time, particularly in Bir- mingham, he would have found that this sapient remark could be applied apro- posly. We have enjoyed season of music and now we are to have an exhibition of art, which will recall days of pleasure spent at the great art galleries abroad, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Corcoran Art gallery in Wash ington, and many other notable art cen- ters.
 Through the cleverness and ingenuity of Mrs. Guy R. Johnson, the capable president of the South Highlands School Improvement association and her CO., workers, a highly interesting loan exhi- bition of the famous Turner collection of pictures will be inaugurated today at the South Highlands school, and to which the people of Birmingham are cordially invited.
 The spacious halls of the school build ing will be transformed into miniature art gallery and will be well worth see- ing.
 The great features of the display-the adjective Is quite applicable-are the su- perb views of the temples and pyramids of the Nile valley, the views of the sacred Isle of Philae the Athens and Rome views which are of great merit, but not more extraordinary than the views of Alhambra in their beautiful de- tail of Moorsh architecture. Besides these, there are very fine groups of re- ligious subjects, taken from the paintings of Raphael, Plockhorst, and scores of others.
 The prints are photographs and photo- gravures of the great masterpieces of the world and the choice of viewpoint in the grouping is the method of treatment, throughout, shows quality of tmagina- ton such as might be inspired by the marvels of Egyptian architecture, the Nile and the sky.

Children Learn How to Prevent
ConSum ption

Over > 800, 900 of the 1900, 600 school
children enrolled in the United States
have during the school year just closed,
been Systematically instructed concern
ing the dangers of consumption and the
methods for its cure and prevention, ac-
cording to statement issued today by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
Besides the 100000 children thus
regularly instructed in their schools, the
National Association estimates that fully
900, 600 more have received instruction
at the various tuberculosis exhibits held
IN all parts of the country or in separate
classes and organizations.
a number of Investigations conducted
in various parts of the world show that
large percentage of the children in the
public schools have tuberculosis before
they are eighteen. That a larger num-
Der of them do not die, is due to the
fact that healthy children are able to
resist the attack of the consumption
germ. On account of the prevalence of
the disease among children, the National
Association considers their education to
be of prime Importance.
In Boston, special commission which
recently investigated the subject, found
that over 5000 school children in that
city alone had positive cases of tuber-
culosis. In New York, a recent study
showed over 5000 tuberculosis children
in the schools On the basis of these
and other Investigations, it is estimated
by certain authorities that there are
nearly 900 600 school children in the
United States today, who will probably
die of tuberculosis before they have
reached the age of eighteen. This would
mean that the public schools of the
country are paying annually about ST.
500, 900 for the education of children
who will die before they reach the age
of eighteen. At least one-half of this
sickness, and possibly three-fourths of it,
could be prevented, if the municipal and
state governments would adopt better
and more hygienic methods of control
ling and teaching the children, and if
the public In general were alive to the
need for tuberculosis prevention.
The National Association declares that
the best way to wipe out consumption
among the children is to educate both
them and their parents 50 that they will
know that tuberculosis is a commune
able disease, that it can be cured and
that it must be prevented.

How to Prevent Biliousness.

Few persons know that most attacks
of Biliousness are due to a cold settling
in the bile ducts or tubes. The ducts
become iufamed, congested and filed
with mucous. The bile is damned up in
the liver and soon enters the circulation
and the patient soon becomes sallow and
jaundiced. Often the bile flows into the
stomach, and so irritates that organ that
acute indigestion sets in and the patient
is said to have Cholera Morbus. Bilious
ness can be prevented by using Rydale's
Liver Tablets which have specific stim-
ulating effect on the bile tubes. One
dose will discharge the mucous and a
few doses will entirely subdue the in
fiammation and drive the cold from the
system. Rydale's Liver Tablets are sold
on a guarantee by H. B. Dutton Co.,
