Good Things of Alabama

To the Editor of The Age -Herald:
 It is common remark that men are worse than they used to be. Men have always been wicked and if it was not for the restraint and influence of women and the fear of the law there would be no morals among them worth mentioning There has been for the past few years much criticism of men and things in Alabama-perhaps too much.
 While we complain of the bad, let us remember the virtuous. Is 1t not better to discuss social and political problems in a spirit of fairness?
 Let us enthrone truth, reason. jus tice and decency and mould ourselves in higher forms of thought and nobler actions. Energy tempered with for bearance and firmness should be tho desire and purpose of all to whom the enforcement of the law is entrusted. None but honest, active, and intelli- gent men should be elected or ap- pointed to positions of honor and trust.
 There is no economy to state or city in paying such men salaries that will not furnish a competent support. With good government and respect for the law, and ambition to excell in the de- velopment and treatment of the things under the earth and the soil above. can see the possibility of Alabama becoming the garden spot of the world.
 Name, if you can, a section of coun- try richer in variety of soil, moro aboundant in coal, iron ore, marble. mountains, valleys, lowlands and high- lands, rivers. small streams and the Mexican gulf 10 the south but ths best of all is the abundance of pure water, and delightful climate, both winter and summer.

SURE TO BE GIVEN
 NEW PUBLIC PARK SOON

Ensley will secure large public park. This Is sure to result, for Commissioners James Weatherly and Judge A. O. Lane announce that the city will give a park to that community as soon as that prop ositior can be taken up and arranged properly.
 The seed sown by Commissioner Wealth erly at Ensey July has borne fruit quickly, for up until that time no move ment was on foot to give Ensley pub lie breathing place. However. the two commissioners are for it; President Exum will favor any movement to help the peo- pie enjoy life, and money will be some

CHANGING HER FACE
(F'rom the Household Friend)

Any woman not satisfied with her complexion can remove 1t and have new one. The thin veil of stifling half dead cuticle is an encumbranco and should be removed to give tho fresh, vigorous young skin under heath chance to show itself and to breathe
 There's simple old-fashioned home remedy which will always do the work. Get an ounce of pure mer- coized wax from your druggist and apply it at night like cold cream, washing 1t off in the morning. The incredible will gently absorb all the lifeless skin and leave a healthy and beautiful complexion, as fresh as q childs, Naturally it takes with it all such facial blemlshes as freckles, tan. moth patches, sallowness, liver spots. pimples, etc. It is pleasant to use. effective and economical. The face so treated immediately looks ysars younger

A. S. Baldwin in City

A. s. Baldwin, chief engineer for the Illinois Central railroad, was in Brming- ham. yesterday, en route to, Chicago. He has been making a trip of Inspection over the line into Florida. He said the phy- scal condition of the properties inspected was fine and while some improvements were being made, as general propo- stion new work was being held up.

years off and on,' said Mir Ryan And am frank to say that have known few men who lived such calm and peaceful existence around coal mines. Brewis was the first man in this state to operate a coal cutting machine and he is a veteran in all other lines of work around the coal mines. He is a peaceful citizen and I will go the limit to help him out of this trouble.
 "He is a man In whom l have the greatest confidence and there is cer- tainly no ordinary miner that is held in higher or more universal esteem in this district.
 T am sure that Mir. Brewis must have been provoked to great extent to have taken any ones life if what he is charged with Is true. And as far as his family participating in a feud, that is the last thing that would ever happen where MT. Brewis had any say in such matter
 He is quiet. law abiding and man perfectly fit to be accorded the highest commendation When his trial comes up ana the eVluence IS all Tn l am sure that it will be found that this man was great ly provoked to lose his accustomed boise and inflict injury upon any fellow crea- ture. In the meantime it is refreshing to see the great corporations of this district remember so kindly one of the tens of thousands who work in their plants to the extent of going the fur thest limit to accord him every consid- eration. i am told that even companies for whom he has not worked for many years are now willing to do anything In their power to help this man out of his trouble. He is also popular among the workmen and miners, everyone of whom, without any exceptions, respect him for his quiet demeanor and unexcitable na- ture."

what easier soon. The park has not been decided upon, but it may be accepted that the city is In the market for suit able place for one.
 Judge Lane said last night that Ensley and all other suburbs should be given a park whenever that was possible.
 ''rhe' need for park at Ensley is very pressing, said Judge Lane. Every one of our localities should have these parks, but many of them are already provided for. Ensley, however, with her great and growing population is entitled to one and 1 am sure the commissioners will grant 1t to that suburb"

HOW TO MAKE USEFUL
ARTICLES FROM BOXES.
....:..:..:..::.::.::-.:..;...:".".:.:....:.:..:'


Many useful articles for the kitchen
can be made with ordinary wooden
boves such as you can obtain from
any grocery.
From two condensed milk boxes q
wall cabinet holding jars containing
spices, sugar, salt and dry groceries
is made.
Remove the lids and nail the boxes
together having their sides touch.
This forms the cabinet with one shelf.
Another shelf Is added by fitting a
piece of the lid half way between the
top and center Of the box. Smooth
the wood with sandpaper. paint il
white or some pretty light color; at
tach it to the walls by nails driven
through the back near the top and you
have u convenient place for the various
kitchen commodities.
BY removing two sides of a soap
box and setting them in the box itself
two and one-half inches from the top
and bottom a handy well proportioned
rack is made for holding such small
articles as the clock, cook books,
matches. etc.
A rack for kitchen knives, forks
and spoons is made in the same way,
only having the top shelf pierced with
a row of small holes two inches apart
the length Of the shelf and the edge
of it notched with little square slots
one-quarter of an inch wide. Plates
can be kept on the bottom shelf.
All of these various boXxes are to
be carefully painted or sandpapercd
and vanished. 1t is surprising how
many different useful things can be
fashioned from the homely box

E. Prairie Chickens in State.
Mr.. Brewster's visit also resulted I'm
proof that Michigan has three nocks
of prairie chickens. The federal ex-
perts have long known that prairie
chickens were found i'm a small marsh
between Sturgis and White Pigeon.
From that flock Mr.. Brewster secured
this fall a few specimens for the ma
tional museum. But he found, too,
that there is small flock near jack
son. and another In Dickson county
near Quinnisec.
Mr.. Brewster was surprised at the
number of deer and other game which
he saw. He says that he never saw
so many evidences of game in his ex-
perience with the Michigan woods. He
believes, however that this is no sign
that the deer arc increasing. Rather,
he takes IL that the deer are being
driven by the wolves from the wilder
sections of the state toward civiliza-
ton. The best deer hunting is found
this year, he says, within three or four
miles of railroads. He accounts for this
by the fact that timber wolves hate
civilization and keep away from it.
They clean the deer out of the re-
mote woods. and the deer prefer TO
take a chance i'm civilization rather
than to battle with wolves.
