FINED THEM FOR NOT VOTING
Austria Made $4,000 Men Pay for
Staying Away From Polls at
Last General Election.

In some countries voting is compul-
sorry, and electors are fined II they do
not do their duty as citizens and avail
themselves Of the franchise.
According to the universal suffrage
law Of Austria all those on the regis
ter must record their votes, and at the
last general election In that country
$4,000 electors we're fined sums from
two dollars downward because they
neglected to go to the poll.
Spain is another country that looks
on voting as national duty, at least
In the municipal election. Should a
citizen omit to cast his ballot his
name is published as a defaulter, his
taxes are increased by two per cent,
while II he be In the public service,
his salary is reduced by one per cent.
Should he commit the fault a second
time he is debarred forever from hold
ing an elective position or an appoint
ment under government.
A few years ago bill to the same
effect was brought before the parlia-
ment Of Victoria. All defaulters were
to be fined $3.50 unless they showed
they were ill at the time, were blind,
over sixty-five years of age, or were
unavoidably absent.
A similar idea was mooted in Can.
ada, the penalty being disfranchiso
ment for six years.-Stray Stories.

WHAT SEVILLE DEBILITY IS
Waste Of Muscle, Cartilage, Bone and
Nerve Tissue Consequent on I'm
paired Metabollsm.

l. L. Nasoher, New York, says that
senile debility cannot be prevented,
but its effects can be relieved, the
mental attitude improved and a sem
blaDce of Vigor restored. The cause
Is waste Of muscle, cartilage, bone
and nerve tissue, consequent on inn
paired metabolism. That which i'm.
proves the mental condition and in
creases hope will improve the debil-
ity. When ambition and interest In
work are lost erectness and initiar
tive are also lost. Ageing is In great
part due to mental influences. Mental
stimulation through physical infiu-
ences Is the natural method Of over
coming mental depression Phos-
phorus and arsenic are useful drugs
for this purpose. Hygienic and die
tetio measures to lessen waste are
useful Food should be nutritious and
such as require little digestive effort
Stiffness Of the joints is due to hard
ening Of the ligaments and moist heat
followed by massage Is of temporary
benefit. The use of a cane for sup
port In walking, and a comfortable
armed rocking chair to support the
arms. helps to acquire better posi-
ton. True senile demenua due to
senile changes in the brain is a pro
gressive enfeeblement Marked i'm
provement follows small doses of NOR
phine This is only temporary and .
habit may be formed.-Medlcal REQ

COLLECTION TO AID
 CATHOLIC MISSIONS

Yesterday being the first Sunday in Lent the usual collection was taken in the Catholic churches for home and for eign missions Bishop Allen in a pastoral letter says in part:
 We earnestly exhort all the mem bers of our flock to give generously to this worthy cause, for your aims will help to maintain missions not unfre- quently established at the cost of heroic labors and sacrifices. The annals of the Propagation of the Faith and other missionary journals give us graphic descriptions of the trials and dangers of priests and religious engaged in the holy work of making the truths of the Gospel known and practiced in mission ary lands. Our hearts should beat in sympathy with all who have given up home and friends to garn souls to God. and we deem it privilege to con- tribute our portion to support their work There is no better way to testi- fly our own gratitude to God for the gift of faith than by supplying the means to make it known to others.
 'The Lenten season calls for gen erous aims giving by the children of God, and Holy Writ calls the act of giving Lending to the Lord Let us begin Lent by charitably providing funds for our home and foreign mis- sions"

week to serve with Mayor Culpepper E,xum as the board of commissioners of Birmingham said General Scully. "As I interpret the words of Gov ernor O'Neal and the facts surround he cannot do anything but appoint the , men named, even though he had in mind change after the Birmingham delegation visited him.
 There is no mistake about what Governor ONea1 said In reference to the appointments here. He said in ,un- mistakable terms that when the Jeff ferson county legislative delegation came to me united I told them that their wishes to me were equivalent to a command and their indorSement of the commissioners would be carried out and unless there are charges filed and signed In my office I will not undo what has already taken place "The position of the governor is that the governor meant that the Jeffer- son county delegation was to come tu him united. As l understand the mean ing of his words, he spoke in the past tense, while the opponents of MT. Jones wish the meaning to apply to the future tense or some action hence.
 "Governor O'Neal. I think, is fully determined to carry out the wishes
 
 the selection of Judge Lane. Mr. Exum and MT. Jones. And In doing this I personally think he has solved a very vexing problem. l know that it is the desire of Governor O'Neal to provide Birmingham with an ideal set of com- missioners. whose wisdom and judg ment will erect "a shaft of honor to the idea of commission form of gov ernment. I think. as does Governor ONeal, that in the tentative appoint ments he has secured three men who will make the local experiment a model for the entire country.
 Governor O'Neal has not been swayed one inch by the wide circula- tion of alleged irregularities surround ing the official life of some of tho members of the council He is firmly convinced of the latitude which would be taken in the prosecution Of a po- litical ambition by some people. And he fully realizes what motives actuate the wide circulation of the alleged ir- regularities
 Governor O'Neal is not a minute behind the times in the exercise of his | appointive powers as far as this city is concerned and there is no question in the minds of his friends but that his selection here will be proper one.
 q managed the campaign of Gov ernor O'Neal in this county and it was stated that the recent delegation to Montgomery did not have any O'Neal men in it to speak of. It Is my calm, deliberate, personal opinion that over 75 per cent of the men who called on the governor last Wednesday were O'Neal men. However, that would not cut such figure in controversy of this kind I mention this only to show how exaggerated some statements are in reference to such an appointment"

M. A. HUDSON National Baraca Leader, Who Spoke in Birmingham Yesterday

t
 for b minutes to the Sunday school stu dents. Mr., Hudson and his party left that church for the First Methodist church, where he spoke from 10:20 to 10:35. He then visited the Christian church. His greatest task was at the First Baptist church, where he spoke dur ing the regular sermon hour to the entire congregation. In the afternoon MT. Hud- son delivered an address at the Majestic theatre upon the chosen topic of Win ming Them One by One.'
 His address was largely attended there and he made distinct impression upon his auditors. In the evening he occupied the pulpit at the First Methodist church, speaking upon "The Meaning of Baraca and Philathea.'
 He gave at the First Methodist church a graphic outline of the movements and left little room to question his complete and thorough mastery of the subject, in which he has been interested in for many years.
 He spoke yesterday to a great number of people at the short stops he made and his contemplated visits were awaited with more than passing interest.
 MT. Hudson is the guest while here of bers of which are entertaining him. He is interested in Birmingham, and, 1t is understood, is lending his influence to secure the national Baraca meeting for this city.

SAYS CITY'S GROWTH
 WAS TRULY MAGICAL
William M. Moore of Louisville in Birmingham After Long
 Absence

William M. Moore. a prominent cit izen of Louisville. is in Birmingham for few days visiting friends and rel atives. He was shown over the principal parts of Birmingham yesterday after an absence of many years from this city MT. Moore was unable to grasp the many great changes that have taken place in Birmingham during the most recent years, and was very much impressed with the rapid growth and staple improvements that have taken place in this city. When he was here last the principal skyscrapers wero dreamsf unfolded and immature, but while passing through the streets of Birmingham yesterday he was almost bewildered with the realization of the ambitions of some of Birmingham's progressive builders.
 q was in this city last about 15 yearA ago." said MT. Moore yesterday. And at that time I daresay that Bir- mingham people did not believe that such changes would have occurred in so short a time Moreover. I can re- call that many sage fields were not removed very far from what Is now the center of Birmingham when I was here last.'
 MT. Moore will be here several days.

That the production of coal in Ala bama during 1910 will exceed the hith- erto exceedingly gratifying figure of 16,000,000 tons is the authorized an- nouncement of James Hillhouse, chief mine inspector.
 He said that figures already com piled from official returns made by the coal mine companies had exceeded the 16,000,000 ton mark and the indi- cations are that probably the figure would reach 16,50o.0O0 tons before all the returns were completed.
