GET POWER
The supply Comes From Food.

If we get power from food, why not
strive to get all the power we can?
That is only possible by use of skillful-

poor fire is not good steam producer.

tised throughout the state.
The festival dates are April 10, 20 and IL.
There will be five concerts-three night
performances and two matinees. Walter
Damrosch will be the festival director
and his splendid orchestra will be one of
the prime attractions. Mr. Damrosch
and in addition to the solo quartet there
probably will be famous prima donna

erhe Treble Clef club, William Gussen
director, will have a prominent part in

What Is known as the festival chorus
is being drilled by Prof. Fred L. Grambs.
1t Is made up chiefly of members of the
Birmingham Orator1o society but all ex-
perienced sight readers who will agree to
attend the rehearsals regularly from now
until the festival are invited to take
part. The present enrolment numbers
considerably over 100 voices.
The music of Tschaikowsky's brilliant
grand opera In three acts, "Eugen One
gin.'' is to make up most of one of the
night programmes. There are seven
choruses and these are the numbers that
the festival chorus will sing. There are
several brilliant arias and other num-
bers which Mr.. Damrosch's artists will
render. The orchestration OF the opera
Is gorgeous and as a whole this work
will prove to be one OF the most notable
musical treats ever offered to the peo-
pie OF the south.
Professor Grambs says he is more than
pleased with the progress of the rehear-
sails. At the full rehearsal Friday night
the chorus worked especially on the first
and third numbers. The first one, He s
the Fellow is bright, and catchy, and
the third Is a lovely waltz movement.
The full rehearsals are held every Tues
day and Friday nights at Gable hall.
There was a rehearsal for ladies yes
terday at o'clock at the Jesse French
Piano store and Professor Grambs says
he got most excellent results. 1t was
the chorus of THE Reapers" Qor female
voices) which the women rehearsed, and
II was voted one of the most beautiful
things they had ever tried. There will
be a part rehearsal for women at Jesse
Frenchs every Saturday afternoon. The
festival management is furnishing street
car tickets to the ladies for all the re-
hearsals.

expert players developed by the score in
Birmingham.
There are already more than suffi-
cient number of tennis clubs besides pri-
vate and public courts to organize a
splendid league in Jefferson county. All
teams that can be formed should not
delay in making application for en-
trance.
"Such a league has been In existence
for a number of years in Chicago. and
the result has been to create the great
est interest in this form of athletics, de-
veloping a number of skilled players.
Competition is the life of trade. ap-
plies to all forms of athletic sports as
we'll as to the business world. NO player
Is going to train or even keep up strenu-
Gus practice unless 1t Is necessary to pre-
pare for regular match Such practice
and training with study and applica-
tion Of the Science and Strokes of Lawn
Tennis, published by A. G. Spaulding, Is
sure to develop skill.
Rules governing the organization and
carrying on of such league have been
applied for and will soon be ready for
members. AS soon as the weather will,
permit regular matches will be held. the

Raise Subscription To Pay
Mortgage On Vester Home

She formerly lived in Birmingham and
had a hard struggle while here. Her life
has been one of many trials, and feel
sure there are scores of people in this
section of the state who would like TO
contribute a little toward making the re-
naming years of her life more easy. I
wish someone would start such a SUBJ
scription, and for one would be only too
glad to give S to such a cause.

AMENDIN :: PRIMARY LAWS.

The great weakness of the primary
laws ms heretofore enacted, has been
the opportunity which they make for
a State contest it is very rare for j
candidate to have a majority vote at
the primaries The need Of some method
of concentrating the party vote has
been felt right along by close observ.
ers of politics and civics. Governor
Hughes of New York was strenuous
advocate of primary law for his State
but he did not favor au unrestricted
wide omen. unguided primary. His idea
was to have State committee of $50
members to propose candidates for the
direct nominating primaries, this com
to n party convention.
In Oregon, the amended primary law
provides for A party assembly of 1900
delegates TO propose candidates for the
State primaries. This 1900 will be
equivalent TO the usual State conven-
ton, and is preferable to the smaller
number proposed by Governor Hughes,
The New York Legislature rejected the
primary law as proposed by him, but
the lower house has passed bill pro
viding for a larger committee to pro
pose candidates TO the primaries.
The main object in this political jock.
ewing is to give the primaries something
to concentrate upon. AS it is now, the
primaries will vote for numerous candi.
dates, and there are no means of pre-
venting the opposition party from cast
ing votes at the party nominations: for
instance, Democrats can vote at Re
publican primaries and Republicans can
vote at Democratic primaries. But it
is proposed to have a primary assembly
or convention to propose candidates for
the primaries, and then there is no dan.
ger but that the selection will be put
in party nomination. And with the con
centration of votes that this method
would insure, the nomination by prima-
ries would be practically assured
But with the preliminary party as
