GREAT F|ELDFOR
 JObB|NG CENTER
Babb Says Birmingham Is Making Great Strides and
 Can Accomplish More

"The editorial in The Age-Herald, Bir- mineham As a Jobbing Center was very timely" said J. B. Babb secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, yesterday. Tn the past few years the advantages of Bir- mingham as a jobbing' center have been consistently advertised and considerable progress can be recorded.
 For the first time in it's history Bir- mingham may be called a wholesale mar ket. From local jobbing houses may be bought dry goods, notions, hats, shoes, drugs, garden seed, hardware, foodstuffs, groceries, millinery. women's clothing, mems furnishings, furniture, candies, con- dictionaries, crackers, cigars, grain, plumbers supplies, electrical supplies and other commodities.
 Birmingham has naturally large and productive territory. It could be still fur ther increased both In area and trade re- turns if an aggressive and militant CO., operative spirit were shown by our own people.
 ''One of the very best advertisements, and one of the most productive efforts in behalf of increasing the wholesale trade of Birmingham was the excursion given on the occasion of the opening of the At Danta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail- way. This brought number of mer- chants to Birmingham who had never looked upon Birmingham as offering a. market, but who ever since have been staunch and profitable customers
 'The wholesale trade committee of the Chamber of Commerce of Birmingham, of which MT. Murray Brown is chairman, has formulated plans for a trade cam paign for Birmingham. To be successful. however, 1t Is necessary that all of the wholesale merchants or practically all of them join in the movement The whole sale committee offers the machinery, but it will be necessary for the jobbers to furnish the steam. saa
 "Co-operation can do not only a great deal for the. merchants in the way of in- creaSing. the trade now enjoyed by Bir- mingham but also can make it a more inviting place for the location of new jobbing houses.
 What is true of the wholesale dealer Is also true of the manufacturer. The man. ufacturers of Birmingham by getting to- gether can increase the demand for Bir- mingham made products. This in turn makes Birmingham more attractive as a manufacturing point. very striking il- illustration of the magnetism of success is shown by the multiplication of glove mills at Gloversville, N. Y, where there are now 34 or 35 establishments of this kind. Instead of this situation making for an injurious competition, it has made Glow ersville so pre-eminent as a glove mar ket that all the mills flourish and the demand is constantly over-runnng the supply, hence new mills are being built
 Both for the extension of the whole sale trade and the manufacturing trade of Birmingham, the Chamber of Com merce offers all the facilities in it's poc- session. It has the machinery It has the plans, and all it needs is the CO., operation of those to be most benefited

equivalent. In health-giying results.
Of a weeks vacation OF the ordinary
kind, according to an eminent Eng

worth trying by many people.
Thomas A. Edison has been quoted
as saying that sleep is only habit. ["
and he Is said TO average only five
hours night So did Napoleon in
the latter years of his military ca
recr. but there are historians who
say he wore himself out prematurely
and that his loss Of sleep had a di.
rect connection with Waterloo. The
amount OF sleep needed varies with

women need, a. a rule. more than
men. II Is possible To go for long
time-someilmes many years with
little sleep. but Who shall say that
such course Is good or bad for

disagree on the subject
