RAILROAD MEN ARE
 MORE OPTIMISTIC
FREIGHT TRAFFIC FOR PRESENT MONTH BIDS FAIR TO SHOW AND MAY

While the car service report made few days ago for May was not very 1atter- ing as a barometer of heavy railroad traffic. general expressions received indi- cate that local railroads have been given good business during the past few months.
 Inquiry among some of the leading rail- road men of the city brought optimistic expressions and they all say that freight business is better than passenger, es- pecially just at this time. A few express sons follow:
 J. F. Liston, assistant superintendent of the Frisco:
 Business on our lines is good. We have operated extra freight trains to handle the traffic this week and have enjoyed good business for the past several weeks"
 R. L. Simpson, general freight agent for the Southern: Freight traffic is very good We will show a decided increase over last month and it would be surprising to me if we did not go as much as 40 per cent above April or May" E. T. Steele, freight traffic manager for the Alabama Great Southern:
 "Our business for the past month has been good. Our increase over the same time last year will be over 50 per cent, and maybe more. We are very much pleased with the conditions existing just now In Birmingham Alex Bonnyman of the Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic: Our freight business is very good. We are well pleased with the traffic being given us and hope to deserve more."

CHATTANOOGA CAN
 GIVE US LESSONS

q have just returned from Chattanoo ga." said O. P. Fontaine, a pukminen member of Post B, where the Travellers Protective association was entertained last week.
 q am still thinking about that beauti- ful little town, and the hospitality of its people. Chattanooga certainly entertained the association to perfection. Not an op- portunity was omitted. They kept us moving from one thing to another from the time of our arrival.
 q was especially impressed with the manner in which the merchants and man. ufacturers pull together in building ur their town. They are wide-awake day and night They are landing new indus tries every day because they offer the in- ducements, and the merchants and people of the town support the enterprise when it begins business. Birmingham could learn no end of lessons from the little hustling city on the Tennessee.

 in the residences of Dr. T. A. Jones and Miss Abby Chamblee on First avenue, East Lake. The loss is partially covered by insurance. Dr. Jones' residence is at 1912 First avenue and the Chamblee residence is at 1908 First avenue. Both of the houses were one-story Crane buildings. They were practically burn ed to the ground.

MARVELS AT CITY'S
 GREAT IMPROVEMENTS

q have been remarking with great pleasure Birmingham's solid improve ments," said D. P. Thompson, formerly a resident of this city but for several years citizen of Cleveland. "I was here a year or so ago, but it. was hurried visit, and I had little opportunity to ob- serve what had been done in the way of deyelopment. But today, as I compare Birmingham with four or five years ago I can see what immense strides have been taken.
 when lived here I felt sure that Bir- mingham would some day be great city. Well. its future now looks greater and brighter than ever. Birmingham is al ready an exceptionally handsome city, and it has all the metropolitan character stics. It seems to be growing at a very rapid rate"

VIII Indorse Commission

All is over but the voting Today the voters of Birmingham will indorse a change in the form of municipal govern ment to the commission, and practically elect the officers to serve until the leg the change into effect
 But mosk of the officers elected today will serve under the commission. The Mayor will be chairman of the commits sion, and the heads of the departments will no doubt be continued in office.
 In fact, that is the very reason the fight has been so strenuous, for it is probably the last time the department heads will be voted on by the people. The men under the commission during good be- havior and efficient management. The commission is planned to take the depart ments out of politics.
 If the change is indorsed, as everyone believes it will be, only the city council will lose out
 All the members of the legislature from Jefferson state that they will follow rc<s instructions of the voters. and will give Birmingham commission, even though they do not all favor it personally.
 It Is believed that the election of Wal ker Percy at the head of the legislative ticket was a positive indication that not only Birmingham, but the voters of the whole county want to see the commission adopted for Birmingham. His announce ment and platform made this live issue.
 Todays ticket expressly provides that the commissioners are to be elected by the people. which removes the objection to their being appointive.

MARVELS AT EFFECT
 OF THESE JUNE NIGHTS

'The thing that has interested me most today" said H. A. Dabney, was an in- eident that I saw at East Lake. The nigh' was an ideal one for 'spooning, and the aerial tramway offers a good chance for lovers. In the car ahead of mine cou- ple sat that were evidently lovers. When we got out over the lake the man leaned over and I saw him kiss her. She kissed him, and then, as the fighters would say, they went to clinch.' The strange part about it was that I happened to Know hoth of them and they were not pre- viouslv engaged these June nights"

Mild, GENTLE LAXATIVE
FOR WOMEN GIVEN FREE

So many of the fills of women are due
TO habitual constipation, probably be-
cause of their false modesty on the sub
ject, that their attention cannot be too
strongly called to the importance of keep
ing the bowels open. 1t Is always fmpor-
tant to do that, regardless Of the sex. but
it is especially important in women.
From the time the girl begins to men
struate until menstruation ceases she has
always vastly better prospects of coming
through healthy If she watches her bowel
movements. If you find yourself consci-
pated, with bad breath, pirnply complex
ion, headaches. belching gas and other
symptoms of indigestion and constipation,

wet grounds. however; hence the
boys concluded to take it out on the
umpire.
There are other whispers, however.
The cadets naturally are not in po-
sition TO do much talking, but stray
scraps of conversation have leaked out
to the effect that Longan has proved
himself a needlessly strict discipline
rfnn, that he ordered one boy out of
hospital because he had not reported
on his return from furlough and gen.
orally that the new captain had q
'+swelled head" which it was neces-
sary TO reduce.
Certainly there must have been some
unusual cause to make 400 hungry
young Americans go without three
meals, to say nothing Of facing a sea-
son without dances and football and
daring the possibility of expulsion for
some of their number.
Booz Case Is Famous.
This is not exactly parallel case
TO the various hazing escapades that
have made West Point famous and
on a few occasions have narrowly
escaped making it infamous. Perhaps
the most celebrated of these was the
affair of Cadet Booz. who died after
being made the victim of n rather bru-
tai haZing episode. and his friends
charged that his death was the direct
result of the injuries then received.
From the testimony given in the in
