 I am prompted to quote the celebrated speech of the Prince of Wales some veacs ago, when he said: Wake np England," and to pararhrase his exhortation and say Wake up, Birmingham.' Let us get ready for this great enterprise; let us see how we can utilize it at the earliest possible opportunity. Senator Johnston, backed up by Senator Bankhead and the Hon. oscar Underwood, has gotten the government committed to this great improvement--it is started. 1t is under way, 1t will be ready perhaps in two years. Are we to sit down and do noth- ing towards utilizing this great water way to the sea and wake up and find somebody else has taken possession or lot of trade and a great many oppor- tunities that really belong to us? Wake up, Birmingham Respectfully,

The members Of the eight excise com missions of the cities and towns of Ala bama have been called to meet in Mont gomery October 6.
 Governor ONeal issued the call Monday afternoon. The purpose of the meeting is to adopt a uniform system of rules concerning the application of the pure food act to the liquor business of the state.
 It is stated that the department of ag- ricuture will be represented by c. A. Bilingsley. pure food and drug clerk It is figured that by the commissioners col lectively adopting uniform regulations and tabulating the brands of liquors which may and may. not be sold in the state they will avoid a great amount of routine and unpleasant business which each commission in the future would have to accomplish on its own initiative.
 The pure food department has stood pat on it's intention of permitting noth- ing but the high grades of liquors to be sold over the counters of the saloons of the state, and the action of the gov

BIC WARRIOR DAM WILL MEAN MUCH FOR BIRMINGHAM Aldrich Writes on Opening of Coal Fields to Water
 Navigation CITY SHOULD AWAKE TO THE POSSIBILITIES 4 Lake of Over 100 Miles Will Be Formed Making Possible Great
 est Pleasure Resort in
 the South

T. H. Aldrich, che of the best informed men in Birmingham on the coal fields in the Birmingham district, has written a very interesting account of the new War rior river lock F, which will bring six feet of navigable water up to within live miles of the Tennessee company's new dam and within Il miles of Bessemer.
 MT Aldrich also calls attention to the fact that the new dam will form a lake from 1900 to 5000 feet wide, extending 56 miles up Mulberry fork and 46 miles up Locust fork, making possible one of the finest pleasure resorts in the south.
 The new dam also brings nearly 25o, GOO, 100000 tons of coal within reach of water navigation. MT. Aldrich writes.
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 A good many years ago, I believe about 1878, Senator Pugh got an appropriation through Congress to build lock in the Warrior river at or near Tuscaloosa with a view Of making slack water navigation up to the beginning of the coal deposits of the great Warrior field. Outside of some little appropriations for clearing out the channels of the Warrior and Tom- higbee rivers the writer believes ghis was the first appropriation made to ac- tually utilize our great coal deposits. Since then the project has grown and grown, backed up by the thinking men of the south and of the nation, till in short time not over three years from now we will be enabled to float coal from the center of the Warrior coal field to the

Catarrh of Stomach
Indigestion and stomach Agony Quick
 ly Ended

If you wept to thirty doctors and paid each his fee for a prescription for indigestion or stomach misery 1t is ten chances to one you wouldn't get such a good prescription as the one from which MEDINA stomach tablets are made.
 How can such thing be? you natur- ally ask.
 Simply because the man who wrote the prescription from which MEDINA tablets are made knows more about stomach diseases than 96 per cent of all the lphysfcians in America, and he gets paid for knowing sHV ts
 And when you can get a large box of tablets made from this doctors pre- scription for only 50 cents, are you going to continue to suffer: Sold by Nortons drug store and druggists everywhere.

Duties of Engineers

JIit 1ulieu 0idltS tllSlItctS Ol COul St are governed by law, but with them rests the indorsement of projects proposed in Congress, and this great scheme of development notwithstanding the indlf- ference of those who will be eventually benefited and the opposition of the great transportation lines, has been encoura ged and these engineers will eventually carry elapsed from the time of its inception till now that the progress of engineering has necessitated many changes in the scheme, and even today if 1t had to be done over again, much larger locks and fewer of them would have been constructed
 The latest attempt, engineered largely by Senator Joseph F. Johnston, and sec onded by Senator Bankhead and ably backed up by our representative, Con gressman Underwood, is to build only one instead of four locks and dams to com- plete this navigation to the center of the coal field. Instead of waiting six or eight years longer, it has virtually been decided at the location of Lock No. F to construct a dam 63 feet in height and oyer 1000 feet long, which would give 8 minimum of six feet navigation to Saun- ders Ferry, in the Mulberry fork of the Warrior river and the same to Nichols lock and dam will take the place of four locks, IS, 19, 20 and 21, and it is estimated that 1t will complete the work of bringing navigable waters to the center of the coal field in less than three years at a saving to the government of considera- bly, over half million dollars. l am told that the lock at r will really be two locks, close together 311a feet lift each.
 A bald statement of this improvement may not mean anything to the average citizen, and therefore l am anxious to bring to the attention of the public the far reaching extent of this comparative ly simple law. The act, and it is very short one, which Senator Johnston ap- proved of and succeeded in passing with the help of our other representatives, is as follows:
 Text of the Act
 ."An act to improve navigation on Black Warrior river, in the state of Alabama. Be 1t enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled That the Secretary of War is hereby author iZed, in his discretion, to change the de- tailed plans and specifications for the construction of Lock and Dam F. on the Black Warrior river. Alabama, so as to increase the height of the pool level over the dam crest of Lock IT to height of 63 feet above the pool level of Lock IS, so as to render unnecessary the building of Locks IS and 19. as now authorized, and so as to provide for the extension of slack water up the Mulberry and Locust forks of the Black Warrior river to San ders shoals and Nichols shoals, respec- lively, and for the development of water power.
 Sec. 2. That the Secretary of War is hereby authorized and directed to have prepared such detailed plans and esti- mates as may be necessary to carry into effect the purposes of this act. and he is further authorized in his discretion to suspend operations during his investiga- tions and to enter into supplemental agreements with the present contractors

about six fighters being in action.
Jimmy Clabby spared three rounds
with each of them and seemed fresh
and in good condition after the grillins.
Jimmy seemed to be having lots of fun
as he pushed them around and let them
hit and slug him at will. Every once
in while he would slip in a wallop TO
let them know he was still living.

Whiting. Ind. May 17.-whiting has
now secured long felt want. a day

which THE TIMES has advocated on
several occasions. Instead of getting
just what they asked fer. the people
have secured even more for there are
now two day desk sergeants. The
council have divided the honor between
Chief of Police P. J. Lawler. and SAM
tary officer j. w. Ault. To Ault they
gave the morning hours. from a. M to
noon, and to Lawler the afternoon, his
time being from noon TO s p. m. This
has been a long felt want in Whiting.
and meets with the hearty approbation
of the citizens. who found 1t next to
an impossibility to get an officer often
times during the day and on numerous
occasions the services of the officers
were very urgent.
The fault did not however rest upon
the patrolmen who were out on duty
and find it impossible to be more than
one place at a time. 1t was however
the fault of the officials in having nc
one at the station in the day time
Now that they have made the present
arrangement all Whiting feels much
safter.

Little Journeys with the Gas Man
No. 10. AS to ToaSting.

There two ways to toast bread Gas Range.
If your range has not broing you over
top burner using of the little appliances which
come for the purpose.
But the more satisfactory way is to the broing
oven Heat the oven for five minutes before you wish
to make the toast If you like the toast very brown
the outside and moist the inside use rather fresh
dry off slightly that when exposed to the flame in the
broiling it will brown quickly If you want the
toast crisp through put it directly into the broing
but not quite close to the fame that it will
toast slowly. You will find it most convenient to
the ordinary folding wire broer instead of laying
the bread the rack in the broiling pan. You can
toast just many slices at time and they all be
turned at once.

superintendent Jewett and the board
propose to solve the problem not only
for the present but to some extent for
the future, by laying a 36-inch main in
Columbia avenue from Michigan avenue
north to Root street. in the hope of
ultimately extending the Columbia ave-
nue. main with the lake. In order to
connect the Columbia avenue main with
some water supply 1t is further pro-
posed to lay a 16-ineh main in Root
street to connect Columbia avenue with
Sheffield avenue. In this way a large
circuit would be completed and in a
few years when the Columbia avenue
main is extended to the lake, Hammond
will have sufficient mains to carry fifty
million gallons of water a day.
The water department is making
enough money TO nearly pay for the
Columbia avenue and Root street mains
in less than three years.
After President Ebert had presented
the question it was agreed that the
water committee. the board, the mayor,
water superintendent and city attor-
ney meet in the near future to discuss
the problem, and also the ways and
means for the raising of the money.

Especial to THE T1MEa

Indiana Harbor, May 17,--Fire broke
out In some mysterious manner yester-
day, among some clothes that were ly-
ing on a sewing machine in a house at
3617 Deodar street
The machine stood in the kitchen of
the building and the woman who oc-
cupies the premises, with her young
son. was in the parlor. Smelling smoke
she started out to investigate and
when she discovered what was the mat
ter she speedily put out the FIRE with a
bucket of water. There was practically
no damage outside of that sustained
by the clothes among which the fire
originated. the machine being merely
scorched.
The people living here are foreigners
and could not understand English and
the police were unable to earn their
names.
