Dear Miss Doom:
I have always lived very simply, but
now l am going to entertain some
friends who are accustomed to excel
lent table service, and I want to offer
them the same. I am particularly puz-
zled about arranging the silver.
(ANxIoUS)
If most of the forks and spoons are
not on the table In the beginning, the
order of serving should be made as fol-
lows:
II a fruit punch or bouilion is used,
the glass holding the punch should
stand on a dolly on a dessert plate and
the spoon for the course is also laid on
the plate. The bouilion cup and saucer
should be on another plate and the
spoon should be at the right OF the
plate.
The forks and knives for the main
courses are at the sides, also the fork
for the salad; but it is better to have
the ice cream fork and spoon passed
on the plate after the table Is clear. as
1t makes the table appear cluttered to
have them there during a long meal.

"No woman should use water upon

MONTHS" says NJ. Fourier. the noted
French scientist. DRY powder only

trous hair should use a dry shampoo
every two or three days. Mix four
ounces OF powdered orris root with
four ounces OF therox. Sprinkle about
a tablespoonful Of this mixture upon

keep it light and fluffy and beautifully
l%ustrous. You will soon see new hair
starting to grow. This treatment is
the only thing thai I am sure will pro-

way to tell good from bad eggs: Fresh
eggs should be more transparent in

the producing centers to the consuming centers has resulted in the high cost of living, which has brought down the com- plaints of all classes asking relief. They are seeking to find a reason and blam- ing the tariff and the present administra- tion and the corporations for some of these troubles, when to my mind 1t is largely produced by this rapid tendency to concentrate unto the cities and to leave the country desolate. A review Of the history of our cities will demonstrate that many of its most active builders re- ceived their start and early training Tn the country, proving that the country Is @ good place to get foundation for s vigorous and healthy development. The tendency in our cities Is to too much frivolous amusement, which produces eff feminate characters, and we need the re- cuperation from the country to produce this healthy balance which has given 50 much of prosperity to our great country.
 Is 1t desirable to have the jobber and the retailer displaced by new order of things? If the retailers business is de- stroyed in the country the villages will be depopulated and the farm lands will depreciate and everybody will want to get away from the country and move to the cities, for 1t is well-known law that commerce builds up cities, and where people trade they will want to go. We feel that before urging this measure too strongly, which at first sight seems to be a nice thing. we should stop and con- sider very seriously what would be the consequences when business is concen- trated into the large cities and the coan- try is left desolate. We feel sure that this parcels post is very active meas ure working to this end.

 Business on the Frisco has been fire this entire year." he said yesterday. We have been abundantly patronized and we will complete one of the best years in our history with the ending of this year. The freight traffic moving between Bir- mingham and points west this past sum- mer and fall has been as much as we could hope for and I believe practically all of the officers are well pleased with the result.

of New orleans a glorious opportunity

of New Orleans glorious opportunity for the south to "show off, will be lost The prize will go to the best boosters. The present-day city is less than ever made to grow simply because of It's op- perfume location; 1t Is the enterprise of the people that gathers together the con- stituent elements of great city on one piece of territory rather than another.
 Then az to the new hotel proposition. People won't hesitate to invest in nne hotels in Birmingham If they know that there are going to be tourists travelling that way to stop in them. If they know New Orleans Is going to get the expo sition, that will insure full hotels as starter, and tourists follow the chain of good hotels. Birmingham should get busy now. She should buy large tracts of land just outside the city for parking purposes while it is cheap and then in future&ears improve this land for tennis courts and golf links and build up as a tourists city. A tourist well pleased is a constant advertisement for a place.
 But the exposition is the most immedi- ate concern. Why not start an advertise Ing campaign lor NeW OiiedHs. Oel edcn business house to have printed on the back of their business envelopes: We want New Orleans to get the Panama Exposition. Help us." Let all the news papers give all the space they can to 1t. Stamps similar to the Red Cross stamps might be attached to personal correspond ence saying: Stop in Birmingham on your way to the Panama exposition in New Orleans"
 Don't you think all these things will help? The time is short and you'll have to hurry. Very truly,

W. W. Roberts, well known in Birming- ham and former head of the Hippodrome skating rink, was shot and fatally wound ed yesterday afternoon at 5;a0 o'clock on the stage of the Bijou theatre by George L. Sherer.
 Roberts was hurried to the Solomon Wilder infirmary. where his founds were dressed and an operation performed in an effort to save his life. The hospital au- thorities stated last night that it would te impossible for him to live F hours.
 Roberts was shot twice, both bullets penetrating the abdomen and piercing the stomach. Ills intestines were punctured in several places and at an early hour this morning he was barely alive.
 Sherer made no effort to escape after the shooting and was arrested by Officer J. Byrd, who was on the scene imme- diately after the shooting. He was locked in the city Jail and charge of assault with intent to murder placed against him pending the results of Roberts wounds.
 Roberts has no relatives in Birmingham
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-12-25

and 1t was only with great difficulty that his brother was located in Nashville, Tenn. He will arrive in Birmingham this morning His mother will accompany the brother.
 sherer refused to give any account of the shooting to the police and declined to make any statement whatever. He is only young boy and has been employed around the Bijou theatre in various ca- pacities for several years.
 According to accounts of the shooting obtained by the police it seems that Sherer and Roberts had a difficulty in the rear of the Bijou theatre and blows were exchanged. Roberts is alleged to have cut Sherer several times on the left side of the face.
 Sherer then left and came around to the front of the theatre and secured re- volver. Returning to the rear of the the atre he found that Roberts was on the stage and followed him there. It Is said that he drew the revolver and fired with out a word.
