Jefferson De Angelis, who is starring in a rev comic opera, ''rhe Ladies Lion, D the attraction at the Jefferson theatre to- night, is a believer in the good old fash toned musical piece with bandy legged comedians and eccentric monarchs. He says:
 e'The public never laughed so heartily in the theatre as in the days of the comic opera, and I'm sure that the public is ready for a revival of the pleasing art. ] Intend sticking to comic opera for the remainder of my life upon the stage. Critics may gibe at it's stereotyped fig ures ana it's situations may be more or less hackneyed, but comic opera is never tl,eless d favorite form of theatrical amusement. If I can write these merry pieces and star in them I care not who writes the plays of the nation.'

Will Watkins and Lawrence Hughes. owners and operators of the Central Wireless station located on the corner of Avenue r and Twentieth street, south, expect to be in communication with sta- tions in 100 miles radius of Birmingham within a month.
 The transformer, with a half kilowatt power and open core, for the receiving and transmission of outside messages was ordered d few weeks ago and will be the first instrument Of sufficient strength to catch outside sound waves yet installed here.
 Experiments begun by these young boys last April have proven successful in sending messages within the city and through their self-instructon with the aid of electric journals they have ac- quired knowledge of the wireless that has made them ambitious to get in touch through the ether with other towns. On- ly their spare time in the evenings has been spent In learning and experimenting and once or twice they have been led to believe from crtain sparks thy have caught, that they have heard from Mo- bile, the strongest station in Alabama, but not having the proper instruments they could not ascertain from that city whether this was the case.
 There are four stations in Birmingham but the Avenue F station is the most complete and regarded as the official headquarters of the youthful wireless telegraphers
 The other three stations are placed as follows: At the home of Will Watkins, 213 First avenue, Elyton at the home of Joe Scalco on Eleventh street and Eighth avenue; at the home of Bruce Wilder at 1925 Hilman avenue.

HoWELL's DRUG STORE on FIRE.
With Enthusiasm Over the Great Dis
cOVery.

The great good that is being done
here i'll Americas and vicinity has
caused tame of conviction to sweep
over many homes, and scores of people
are going to Howells drug store TO
get some of the Misunderstanding Root
Juice that has caused so much talk
throughout the state during the past
few months. The necessity of proving
the merits of the great remedy has al
most ceased, as most of the people are
convinced because they know of some
neighbor or friend who is rapidly i'm
proving under the juice treatment
Homer L. Barlow said MY little boy
and self have been using the juice
about week and it is doing US both
worlds of good. My boy was in a very
bad fix before taking the remedy He
had used a great deal of medicine be-
fore taking the juice without any ben
eft, but the juice seemed to take

improvement has been very rapid His
stomach and kidneys were in an awful
condition before taking the great rem
edy My trouble was Indigestion; gas
formed on my stomach and bowels and
bloated a great deal, but Root Juice
has almost entirely stopped that. IT
seems that after people take the truly
wonderful medicine a few days they
praise it so highly that their friends
and neighbors go in crowds to the
store and get some of it. We heard
that the scientist spent a fortune in
perfecting Root Juice. He is certain
ly being rewarded, for it is almost i'm
possible to make the medicine fast
enough to supply the demand. The
is certainly proved to be the
greatest of the age for healing and
toning the stomach, bowels, liver and
kidneys. Many people from every
walk OF life who have suffered for
years with stomach troubles, rheuma-
tlsm' nervous weakness and kidney
affections, after taking the remedy a
few days are so enthusiastic in their
praise that it is hard to doubt the
health-giving properties of the meli-
cine. We are informed that the dem
onstrations will continue but a few
days at thi spoint. The Root Juice is
sold for one dollar a bottle or three
bottles for two dollars and a half

CALLS FOR PSYCHIC
TRAINING FOR YOUNG
Educator FayOrs Treatment TO Make
Child Bear Pain Calmly.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 15.-"Doubtless
much that is sometimes attributed tc
direct inheritance is really due to the
influence of imitation of the parents
after birth, said DR.. Lewellyn f. Bar
ker last night in an address on The
Prevention Of Nervousness in Children
and the Protection of the Nervous
Child' before the Health Conference
now in session.
He declared that many parents make
the mistake Of allowing the caprice OF
the child to influence in diet, and that
children should be provided with suit
able foods in suitable amounts and
should be required to eat of them
largely Independent of choice.
IAN anxious mother" continued the
speaker, will often ask to have her
nervous child excused from regular ex-
.ercises at school, This is usually a mis-
take. A warning should be sounded
against not exercising in sports like
football and other games in which
there is opportunity for competition or
rivalry In addition to the hardening
of the body, every child should under
go a gradual process of psychic hard
ening,' and be taught to bear with
equanimity the pain discomfort "a
which everyone sooner or later cannot
help but be exposed"

YICE-PRESIDENT'S ADVICE
TO THE YOUNG MEN
Engage in Politics, But Don't Work
for Uncle Sam, He Says.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 15.-Vice-
President James S. Sherman discussed
the political duties of young men and
the value of a college education in an
interview in the Yale News. Mr.. Sher-
man holds that it is the duty of every
young man to take an active interest
in political affairs, not simply in ma
tional elections, but so far as our lit
tie municipalities are concerned, where
we are all interested in having hon
esty and efficiency in public service "
He says, broadly speaking, he has
yet to find a single instance where he
thought colledge education was not a
distinct benefit to a man. He would not
however, advise any college graduate
who outside of his book learning was
reasonably bright and Industrious" Il
enter the Government service in some
,of the minor positions, because
think holding minor positions in tho
government service is very apt to b
working in rut, and once you get intc
rut it is very difficult to get out. I

Macon, February 15.-The first cut
in the Mercer baseball squad has been
made and the candidates actively try

pitchers and four catchers are among
this number In another week a
second cut will be made In TIE
meantime Coach Stroud and Captain
Oliphant are taking advantage Of
whatever fair weather there is to have
the squad out for practice.
Mercer students do not look for as
good team as the Baptists had last
year, on account of the fact that sew
eral of the men on last years team
will not be in the lineup this year.
Dawson, the mainstay of the pitching
staff last season, of course, will not
be back
Both the students and friends Of
Mercer have a great deal of confidence
in Coach Stroud, however, and ex-
pect him to develop a good team from
the material he has.
Training tables will be established
as soon as the varsity is selected, and
before the season is started it is hoped
that two diamonds can be put into
shape on Tattnall Square One of
these, if the plan is carried out, can
be so arranged as to be used for
games between scrubs and other

HOBOES Want THE USE
OF The CAPITOL
Unemployed Aspire TO Meet
in Hall Of the House

Washington, D. c., Feb. 15.-Alex-
ander Law, president of the Eight
Hour League of America, deIegate-elect
from the Milwaukee convention of the
Unemployed and Brotherhood Welfare
Association, which plans to hold its ma
tional convention in Washington in
September, comes as the advance ag-
ent of the convention Of unemployed
to arrange for a meeting place for the
proposed convention.
81 have been instructed by the ma
tional officers, said Mr.. Law, to make
every endeayor to obtain permission to
hold the meetings of the convention in
the hall of the House Of Representa-
tives. l am not advised just who has
the authority to give this permission. l
shall first get in touch with members
of both branches Of Congress, and lat
err ask President Taft to lend his in
f1uence If I fail, I shall then try to
get permission from the District com
missioners to use the board room Of
that building. l fear that from what I
hear Of the capacity of the room in the
municipal building it will not meet the
requirements.
There Will probably be only about
100 delegates to the convention but
that body Of men will be insignificant
numerically to the army of unemployed
who will come to Washington to wit
ness the deliberations Of our conven-
ton. 1t is believed that the great body
Of unemployed men who Will come .
Washington on that occasion. viii
make the army of Col. Coxey, that in
yaded the Capitol grounds in Cleve-
lands administration, insignificant in
comparison. We intend to ask for the
use Of the House of Representatives,
not as favor, but as a right.
THE convention will make demands
on Congress for immediate legislation
in the interest of the masses, and par
ticularly the unemployed. Legislation
for the eight-hour day, minimum
wage scale, a national employment bu-
reau, and free transportation to posi-
lions, will be the principal things ask
ed. The eight-hour day is a paramount
issue, and will be made the keynote of
the presidential election Of 1912.
"Our convention is to be a Joint la
Dor mass meeting Of tie employed and
unemployed, organized and morgan
lied, skilled and unskilled laborers Of
the entire country Washington will
see in attendance upon our convention
an army of unemployed men that will
surprise the lawmakers. We do not
ask charity and will not accept it. We
want work and favorable conditions to
earn a living"
