MISS GREENE's IDEAS
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The long-continued generosity of The Age-Herald toward the library campaign enboldens me to ask for space in which to discuss some of the ways in which an adeauateiy maintained library could serve the people of Birmingham.
 Keeping in mind that public library IS democratic institution, it will be seen that it must fit the needs of all. Let us not dwarf our institution by designing ii for anything less than the whole peo- pie.
 The Birmingham Library must be splen- didlv stocked, both in reference and eircu- lating departments, with the best that has yet been produced on philosophy, re- ligion, sociology, philoiogy, science, his tory. fine arts, useful arts, poetry he- ton. drama, essays, oratory, satire and humor. This much as a self-evident prop osition.
 This great collection must be adequate to the needs of the profoundest scholar; it must be able to answer the cravings 1 in so far as they are healthful-of the 1 liehtest minds.
 But in addition to this general collec- ton the Birmingham Library Of the fu- ture should contain: 1 l. The best technological library in the south (the dominant interests of this great manufacturing center of the southern dis trict seem to demand this). 2. A collection of material on Birming- ham and vicinity. (There are daily calls at the library now from strangers pass
 ing through the city for information about | the Birmingham districD. 8 A full and well organized collection

 "A good friend advised me to use Peruna and was glad to try anything, and I am very pleased to say that six bottles made new woman of me and I have no more pains and life looks bright again
 There are a great many phases of woman's ailments that require the as sistance of the surgeon.
 But by far the greatest number of such cases are amenable to correct medfcfnal treatment.
 A vast multitude of women have been relieved from the ailments pecul- lar to their sex through the use of Pe- runa as prescribed by pr. Hartman.
 He receives many letters from all parts of the country relating to sub jects of vital interest to womankind.
 Of the vast multitude of women who take Peruna only a very small per centage consider 1t necessary to write to the doctor at all.
 While 1t is not affirmed that Pe- runa will relieve every case of this kind, 1t is certainly the part of wisdom for every woman So afflicted to give Peruna a fair trial.

We'll Known Aldbdmians
 In Birmingham Yesterday
By WALTER HARPER.

Mr Franchise suffragist from Fly erywhere," Jefferson county, was in Bir- mingham yesterday.
 He did not register at any hotel. He stopped at the principal street corners and on the courthouse steps talking politics and allowing the politicians to talk to him.
 Ninety per cent of the people will not confess that they take a live interest in politics but when the powder begins to smell 100 per cent of the voters Just can't keep away from the firing line They may not talk politics much but they will stand on the hard pavement for hours at a time and let somebody talk to them.
 Hundreds of men went home last night with pockets bulging with cards and cir culars exploiting the virtues or depreciat- ing the honesty of various and sundry candidates Many of them also carried home a good sized headache, a dizzy uncertain feeling in the chamber of reas- on and a bad taste in the mouth. They will get over 1t all by tomorrow how ever.
 After stroll over the business secuoi of the city yesterday no man could clalm that there is lack of interest in the present political struggle. Thousands Of people spent the day drifting into groups and discussing men and issues.

Carrier Pigeon Rescued

New York, April "A carrier pigeon fell exhausted to the rigging of the liner Campana which reached here today when the ship was 800 miles from Newfound- land, the nearest land, on Wednesday morning. A ring on the pigeons foot bears the words "LaFayette, Bordeau.' .' It is thought that the pigeon may have flown from either Bordeau, Frances or from some point on the American coast to the point where 1t fell, perhaps in an attempt on the part of its owner to de- termine whether pigeon could fly across the Atlantic.

Washington. April 2.-So-called 'srecov- cry" houses, which obtain spirits by soak ing empty barrels, have been called on by the internal revenue bureau to show cause why they should not be prohibited from continuing this practice. There are about 30 such houses in the country and the estimate is made that they must. ob- tain at least two gallons from each bar rel by the soaking process, in conse- qtience of which the government loses more or less revenue.
