CHORAL SOCIETY
TO TAKE UP WORK

That the Birmingham Choral society
contemplates serious work this season is
evidenced by the following circular,
copies of which says Secretary McGnl
were mailed yesterday to rs of Brming-
hams best singers:
THE Birmingham Choral society, Mr..
Adolf Dahm-Petersen director, will hold
its first rehearsal at the rooms of the
Birmingham Turn Verein, 2O21 First ave-
nue. next door to Seals Piano and Organ
company, and two flights up), on
Wednesday evening, September 2S, at
Sis o'clock sharp. The rehearsal will
not last longer than $3.50, and the regular
rehearsal dates will be decided upon at
this meeting
Brahms Love Song Waltzes' will be
the first work taken up, followed later
by Grieg's 'Autumnal Storm About
80 of Birmingham's best voices have
promised their support, and you are cor
daily invited to join us in this effort to
establish select mixed chorus in our
city. ]. d. M'GILL, Secy"
The society was organized two years
ago, but owing to the frequent absence
of the director, Mr. Damn Petersen, from
the city, work was discontinued until this

Merchants all over the city have agreed
to decorate their stores and hang out

have every reason to believe that Bir-
mingham will make such an impression
on the visitors that the delegates will
fight to bring the international conven-
ton here next year.

though ably assisted. have been the most
remarkable workers. Their faces are
perhaps the most familiar in the city, as
everybody knows them. Hall is a young,
bright-eyed passenger engineer, who runs
between Birmingham and Chattanooga.
McKenna, vice-chairman of the enter
tainment committee, is an old Louisville
and Nashville engineer, who is very pop
ular with the officials, and well liked
everywhere. Mr.. Chase, who is chief Of
the senior division of the district, will
preside at the public meeting on the 18th.
Mr.. Chase has had run on the Louis
vile and Nashville for 10 years. T. A.

untiring in his work for the committee.

WOULD CLOSE STORES
ON BIRMINGHAM DAY

1t has been suggested by John L. Par
ker that every business house in Bir-
mingham close October 13 and make Bir-
mingham day at the state fair day for
Birmingham in every sense of the word
He returned a few days ago from Nash
vile and he states that every business
house in that city closed Nashville day at
the fair held in that city.
1T is certainly proper that the business
houses close Birmingham day. says DR..
Parker 1.-The people of Nashville were
very much pleased with the idea, and l
saw nothing that impressed me more in
regard to cooperation than the fact that
all business houses did actually close and
every one that could possibly do so at
tended the fair Nashville day. The spirit
of cooperation and push in Nashville, If
anything, outrivals that much talked-of
spirit Of Atlanta.
1.-THE people there are certainly very
proud of their educational advantages
and their many civic Institutions AL
though they have many great educa-
tional institutions they have nothing in

aroused the Business Mems league and
the Chamber of Commerce to such a
pitch of enthusiasm that they both came
forward with handsome subscriptions.
Everywhere they go they are received
with open arms and granted every court
esy. Yesterday they visited the two
Mayors, Harry Jones and Culpepper
Exum, and both gave them assurance
that the city of Birmingham stands back
of the brotherhood, and is willing to do
anything, from allowing the use of the
hall to decorating the building in honor
of the visiting engineers.

TURN VEREIN PAYS
TRIBUTE TO O'BRIEN

At meeting of the German Turn
Verein the announcement having been
made that 1t has pleased Divine Provi-
dence to remove one of the charter
members of the society, Capt. Frank P.
found unanimous expression in the fol-
lowing:
THAT in the demise of Capt Frank
p O'Brien, who had been identified
with the Turn Verein since it's foun-
dation in 1887. taking a prominent part
In all matters affecting it's welfare, this
society has lost friend whose warm
attachment to it will ever be an in
spiration to us. Captain O'Brien, a
scion of Celtic traditions, found him
self in thorough accord and perfect
sympathy with the German Teutonic
ideals of the Turn verefn; he had ever
been a most liberal and steadfast sup
porter of all institutions and move
ments whose purpose was to promote
3 deeper feeling of fellowship anS
brotherly appreciation between man
and man, irrespective of racial extrac-
tion or religious aspiration; himself
representing one of the noblest types
of manhood, by his uprightness, his
civic virtues and philanthropic spirit
no less than by his genial personality,
he proved a powerful factor for good
in the life of our city.
I'VE record with profound grief the
great loss our society has sustained by
the demise of Capt. Frank P. OBrien,
who was indeed shining example of
devotion to the ideals of liberty and
Civic virtue; and we also realize the
irreparable loss that has befallen the
City of Greater Birmingham in the de
miseSof its first mayor, whose record
of busy and useful life Is SO thor
oughly blended with the progress of
this CITY that no history of Birmingham
would be complete which failed to give
Frank P. OBrien a most prominent and
honorable place among the builders of
our great city.
Resolved, That we extend to the be-
reaved family our heartfelt sympathy
and coincidence, and that these reso-
buttons be spread upon our minutes and
published in The Age-Herald and the
Birmingham Courier, and a copy of
same be engrossed and transmitted to
the berieved widow.

 T believe I can state definitely that anteria poliomyelitis IS contagious disease. This was clearly shown in

 and the spread of the disease ceased l l. was checked much earlier than dur. i ing previous epidem c.
 T have also come to the conclusion that epidemics of the disease arc
 far more dangerous than sporadic cases.
 T believe persistent treatment. lasting sometimes for many months is far more efflcacions than blind trust in a natural recovery. I believe that many fatalities result because phys oians halt treatment too early
 Dr. Bonnet said that the treatment
 by which he had cured many cases was as follows:
 In the early stages of the disease he administered small doses of bella donna and chemical known as gel. lemium. This latter is made of an herb which is found in the Southern States. It is a climbing vine and somewhat resembles clematis Ia the latte-. a paralytic stage. both Drs. Benn't and Richardson agreed that the use of electricity had been found most productive of good results

BALTIMORE, Nov. 17.-Drinkixf and cigarette smoking are not on the increase among the women of Amerf ca, according to Lillian M N Ste. vens. president of the National Wc- mans Christian Temperance union, who addressed the annual convention here. Mrs. Stevens said:
 We are sometimes told that drink among women is on the increase II can hardly be so among the ont casts and lower classes, for 1t is largely drink that has brought them where they are. Alcoholic beverages cannot justly, even among women be called a class drink, for alcohol in the costly wine glass Is as deadly and dangerous as it is in the dingy whis- Ky mug. mE1 ..y
 We are sometimes told that there is much cigarette smoking among wo men. In the course of my travels in England and America I have never seen a woman with cigarette in her mouth, except in certain locali ties in New Mexico, where the sur roundings were not at all pleasant D contemplate.
 Referring to the white slave" traffic. the speaker reviewed recent federal, state and city attempts to tie it, and continued:
 Tt matters little whether the traffic is organized or not. The fact is that it exists in New York and else where is sufficient to arouse human ity loving people. Without any exag geration, it is appalling enough to arouse the most apathetic, and il
 vestigations in some cities have r, yealed that even little girls in infanc are sold into these dens of infamy.
