IF YOU RESIGN.
Do You Suppose That You Would Be
 Reelected.

From Munsey's Magazine.
 Whoever you are who may read these words, this question Is one you should ask yourself most seriously:
 If I were to resign, would I be re-elect- ed?
 This is the kind of question which it does you good to ask and answer with unsparing frankness. It is one of the questions which makes you search your heart, look into all the secrets of your life. and bring you face to face with what is real-perhaps most brutally real.
 Whatever talent you may have, what ever gifts you may possess-these have not been the only factors in your ad- vancement. They have helped you much or little, as the case may be; yet what you are and what you have, you owe very largely to the good will and the good opinion of others. They have ac- cepted you, smoothed your path.
 But if you were to resign, would they do the same thing over again?
 Would your wife choose you again?
 Examine yourself closely and see whether you are still the lover, striving to please, thinking of all the little things that go to make up woman's happiness. If you have made your wife dread and fear you, so that she shudders at your very touch, would she again select you.

Expert Metal Plating
 Done By MT. Stratford
DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR MET AL FIXTURES. PLATING MAKES THEM NEW AT VERY SMALL COST.

There's no telling how many hundreds of dollars worth of brass, copper and nickel ware Is thrown away in Birmingham ev- cry year. intrinsically good as new, but tarnished and unsightly. Today it is gross extravaganza and waste to discard any metalware on this account. Expert plat ing makes 8 piece of metal as beauti- ful as the day 1t came from the store. M. T. Stratford, at 40S North Nineteenth street. maintains an up-to-the- minute plating department and plating of every kind is done promptly and well. Quite a lot of work has been sent out of the city in the past, but you can save ex- pressage and time now by patronizing a home enterprise, and the work can't be done better anywhere. Here are a few things you can have plated and made good as new. Brass beds, safe knobs, plano peddles, lanterns, typewriters cash registers, dental parts. In fact anything that needs refinishing except wood work. MT. Stratford Is making speciality of this kind of work, SO if you have old. tarnished. unsightly metal fixtures, don't throw them away-see him about them.
