Every one ought to have some extra flesh on the bony structure of the body, both for the sake of health and self-es- teem.
 Most thin people are sensitive to the harsh, unfeelng criticisms which are con- stantly being hurled at them by the more fortunate wsll-hgured persons

COMPLIMENT FOR
 BIRMINGHAM WORK
ClTY'S PAVING PLAN ATTRACTS ATTENTION OF EASTERN CON- SEDUCTION COMPANY, WHICH ASKS FOR SPECIFICATIONS.

letter decidedly complimentary to Street Commissioner John McCartin's ex- periments in oiled road building has been received by Mayor o'Brien in the shape of a letter from the East Coast Equip ment and Construction company. This is one of the largest and oldest concerns of the kind in the country and the fact that they should express such interest is con sidered as decided compliment to Bir- mingham's progress.
 The letter reads as follsw:
 Hon. Mayor OBrien. Birmingham. Ala !: Dear Sir-You highly commendable acr ton in pursuing a policy of retrenchmeh in the matter of public Improvements has attracted our attention. We are particHs larly interested in the specifications which have been written by your engineer pro- viding for a pavement similar in con- struction to the bitulithic but not tnfring- ing these patents. If it seems perfectly fair to your administration we should like very much to be favored with a copy of these specifications. We do more or less work of this character and have not found anything yet that suited as ex- actly for a binder for our country roads You are to be congratulated upon the degree of effectual work performed by your department of highways. Thank ing you for any favor you may deem it proper to extend to us In the prem ises, we beg to remain, yours very truly, EAST COAST EQUIPMENT AND CON-
 SEDUCTION COMPANY.
 Quite a large amount of this work is under way tho city having contracted for it on a basis of 4s cents a yard. Street Commissioner McCartin is per sonally supervising the work and pros poets point toward full and convincing proof of his contention that the city could do it's own paving work at half the price it had been paying and at the SamA time provide a pavement equal if not superior to the highest grades of pave ment .

YOUNG MEN WILL
 ASSEMBLE TONIGHT
GOOD GOVERNMENT CLUB WILL BE ORGANIZED BUT IT IS STATED NO CANDIDATE WILL BE FORMALLY INpoRSED.

The political organization to be perfect ed tonight at 8 o'clock in Magnolia hall will probably be called the Young Mems Good Government club of Jefferson coun- ty.
 It is probable, too, that J. B. Scully and J. Fred Staley will be chosen presi- dent and secretary, respectively.
 The announcement yesterday morning that tho club will be orginazed, created a deal of interest in Birmingham and throughout the county and it is probable that the attendance tonight will be large and enthusiastic.
 Emmet ONeal, candidate for governor, will be on hand and will make an ad- dress. It is probable that Good Gov ernment" will be his subject
 The new organization will come into existence with the formal dissolution of the Young Mems Jefferson County Anti Amendment club. The Good Government club will not indorse the candidacy of any man, but will await developments before officially acting. Its purpose, 1t is given out, is to preserve good govern ment in the county and state.

ing this, our initial year of the work, it
 has been carried over the experimental
 stage and is now become vital part of
 tho society's work The years work l includes 10 months of actual visiting with
 an average of 25 homes visited per month. If in one-tenth of the homes visited con-
 ditions have been bettcred, then you have
 been Justified in undertaking friendly wis.,
 iting.
 Home Finding and Placing-Twenty-fiv
 children are now in homes mainly in
 the country. Of these, six have been
 visited and homes reported on.
 Conclusions-Statistics are a farce in this work for the mind of man has never
 yet been able to measure influence and
 its results, but we can at least offer
 few conclusions gathered during the
 year First. in nine out of ten cases
 the homes of the children and their par
 ents are their worst enemies both in the
 sins of commission and omission. This
 is especially plain in homes of the for
 eign born children of the several na-
 tionalities met with in our cities. Sec ond, the housing conditions in some parts of the city are quite deplorable. Visit
 ing has revealed much congestion, dark rooms, overcrowding. bad plumbing and dirt. Remedies for a portion of this at least could be found in a more strict observance of the board of health regu- 1ations. Third, a survey of conditions as a whole is the reason for me saying that we need more investigation than impulse and more of moral uplift than so much of sweet charity"
 Home Finding Department-We recom- mend that the home finding work be put on a systematic and business basis. The juvenile court bill has made pos sible larger field for this work. Visits
 made to homes of children placed out have proved that this must be the life giving part of our work in the future, Nothing is or can be permanently af- l, fected in the city visiting, but it Is to the home finding that we look for our material results Most vital of all we recommend that more visitors be placed in the field for the city work. Respect 1 fully submitted, MAYME ABEL.

TO OPEN NINETEENTH.
C. T. Randall Wants to See Another
 Through Route Across City.

A movement is on foot to have Nine teenth street opened up to connect the north and south sides. c. T. Randall Is ready to urge the matter before the commercial organizations as well as the City Council. He said last night: T am heartily in favor of opening up Nineteenth street. At present we have only Twen- tieth street for traffic, which Is always congested. The property owners on Nine- teenth street from Avenue H to Sixth avenue would be greatly benefited, as well as the whole Southside.
 Tt seems to me that a viaduct could be easily be built over the crossing. or some other scheme hit upon to give easy passage.

years ell the men who run for office are selected by party bureaus. which have their headquarters in London. When a parliament Is dissolved and a general election is called a committee from the borough or division goes to the bureau for a candidate and the best man avail able is sent down to make the fight
 The constituencies are divided into classes as well as the voters, there being universities, counties and boroughs
 The boroughs are those towns which contain a population of 15.o00 and upward The universities are those connected with the state. such as Oxford, Edinburg, Trinity, etc, And the counties are cut up into divisions, each containing a pop ulation of 5000 or upward.

 Seven-Year Terms.
 All members of the house of commons are elected for a term of seven years and as these terms run out in different districts from time to time. the affect ed districts hold what are known as bye elections. These, however. have no bear ing on the general election and although the members at the present election are chosen for term of seven years, should parliament be dissolved within the next year. their terms would come to an end and another general election would have to be held
 A bye-election, however, often attains great importance, when the division of members in the house of commons is very close. Two or three may swing the majority from one party to another and as the cabinet Is always chosen from the party in power it would necessitate the election of new cabinet It also. in great many cases, reflects the nature of the sentiment existing throughout the countrty-whether liberal or conservative.

The papers of Philadelphia are still singing the praise of Lillian Russell, who comes to the Jefferson theatre Tuesday night in her latest comedy success, ''The First Night" The Inquirer says:
 Lillian Russell in her seeming pos- session of enternal youthfulness is al- ways refreshing and pleasing in herself and her latest role affords her ample op- portunities to display her undoubted abil- ity as a comedienne George V. Hobart in adapting The First Night from the German, has written cleverly and his comedy is both sprightiy and delft. Miss Russell plays with her usual gayety and finish. Her art is self-possessed and graceful and she extracts genuine comedy from te role.''

 Editorial

Last Saturday-the opening day of our Red, Yellow and Green Tag Sale-kept us humping every minute of the day. We certainly did a land office business.
 But there's nothing very remarkable about that, consid- ering we were taking orders for clothes at the price of about the cost of the cloth. And we're going to con tinue doing so till every yard of our magnificent stock of woolens is disposed of.
 It's a shame-a fierce shame ito be compelled to do this, but our tailors had to be kept busy.
 The way the cold weather hung off at the beginning of the season played the deuce with us, and the only thing left was to take the bull by the horns and start something.
 In case some of you men don't fully understand the saving to you, we'll explain once more what these red, vel low and green tags mean to you.
 All goods marked with a red tag will be made up into clothes to your measure for $13.50-a saving as compared with other tailors of fully $10. Those marked with yellow tags, will be put on your back for $16.50-our former low price was $22.50.
 And those with green tags-mostly imported goods-will be made up to your order for only $19.50. Other tai lors would ask $40 for not better
 Don't you think you'd better get busy and get in your order before the fabric you fancy'is sold out.
 Woolens will be much higher next season, and you'll make a double saw ing by ordering now.
 Yours truly,
 Sa,7aue1s 6 Co.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Cat and the Fiddle"

Charles A Sellon's extravaganza, The Cat and the Fiddle" was the attraction at the Jefferson theatre yesterday after noon and last night. The piece depends most on novel scenic effects to win fa- vor and in this respect is quite pleasing. The spectacular features are very good adapted to fairyiand. the gambols of fairies and the dark designs of witch craft Some very pretty conceptions were introduced to illustrate some of the song numbers which lacked only voices to make them very acceptable. MT. Sellon is himself quite capable come dian and has . variety of funny skits which he presents from time to time with the assistance of mechanical tricks and unique scenic effects. The Fillmore sis- ters are most prominent in the feminine part of the show. They are petite and frisky and clever dancers. They omitted part of their speciality last night.
