Do You Smoke
This is a point of more Importance in
the makeup of a man among his
friends than the clothes he wears.
The good cigar when offered to a
friend gives character to the giver; it
is either good. medium or bad: the
recipient is drawn to you just in pro-
portion to the merits of your cigar.
Travelling men know this. and many
a good order is secured on the strength
and flavor of the cigars distributed
rather than on the merits of the goods

one order has been turned down be-
cause of the cheap cigar proffered.

afraid to do new things in new WAYS.

The Wheat Estimate.

The spring wheat estimate is lust
over 200, 900 bushels This is a
tri1e less than the September estimate
But last year the actual yield was 20
100000 greater than the September
estimate, and we shall probably find
when we measure up the spring wheat
OF 1911 that there is more of it than
the condition reports during and after
the hot weather gave promise of. The
october report on corn was a shade
better than the September report, and
the September report indicated 49,
100000 bushels more than the August
report Furthermore, the corn crop
last year was 49,, 600, 900 bushels more
than the September condition figures
gave promise of. AS the winter
wheat was undeniably a large crop,
and indications are for one of the
biggest corn crops ever gathered.
though not a recCTd-breaker, and the
spring wheat is likely to run over the
quantities suggested by the condition
ngures, there is no great occasion for
worrying about the grain CROPS. The
cotton crop is going to surpass all re-
cords, so that even at moderate prices

Patchinr ~ Broken FamiIies

In the court of domestic relations,
4 Chicago is trying a unique expert
ment which the entire country has
been watching, and which appears to
be working out excellently in prac-
tice. The theory upon which the
court is founded and conducted is the
arbitration OF family quarrels and the
prevention of divorce by friendly
fediation on part of the Judge.
The results of the effort are en-
couring set forth, as follows, by The
Chicago Record-Herald.
I'm the first six months of the exis-
tence of the court Of domestic rela-
tons Judge Goodnow' has dealt with
2,484 cases of domestic trouble. Only
SO persons have been sent to the house
of correction and SO have been freed
from that institution. More than $780,
900 has been collected by the court
for deserted wives and children, and
1850 estranged husbands and wives
have been reconciled to each other.
This is a gratifying record, in har-
mony with the modern idea that pre-
vention or reconciliation is better than
punishment. The court of domestic
relations has justified it's existance."
Chicago's court of domestic rela-
tfons, is Of course, a logical outgrowth
of the philosophy back of the criminal
parole, the indeterminate sentence and
probation for i~nebriates and juvenile
offenders.
There is no reason why the same
reasoning should not be extended to
include those tangles that are INSOFAR
able from married life and that con-

of the civil and criminal courts of the
country.
In many cases of disagreement be-
tween husband and wife, especially in
certain classes of life, the Intervention
of a wise third party is sufficient tc
set matters straight and save the home
from being permanently blasted.
The success with which such institu
tons are conducted depend, in the
last analysis, upon the judge in charge.
A man of mature years, ripe exper-
fence, broad philosophy and winning
personality can accomplish much in
~reconciling family differences whe-
Their he is a judge or simply a private
citizen. 1t is shown by the Chicago
experiment that placing powers of
punishment back of the functions of
a family p~eacemaker go a long way
towards his usefulness.
If ~Si"a~c's experience is a fair
c-ite.--- 1t I cks as though the court
of domestic relations is to become a
permanent part of our judicial equip
ment. In that it makes for the anne
lioretiC.l of one of the most trouble
one problems of the day, the innova-
ton should be a most welcome one

Never Throw Anything Away, Habit of
Thrifty

Never throw anything away" the
philosophy of the thirty one, had illu-
stration at one of the rummage sales
given by a prominent Atlanta woman
for the benefit of her church last week.
She had sold everything in the way
of old clothing, finding ready sale for
military coats strange old hats and
articles that it would seem nobody
would want to buy, when a old shoe
happened to attract the attention of a
Darktown lady who had bought the
old cape of an ex-Georgia colonel.
How much will you take for that
shoe, Lady," she asked. why, as it
is an odd shoe, it can't do anybody any
good, so l will let you have it for5
cents"
"AIl right" said "Auntie," and she
her handkerchief.
"Now, would you mind telling me
what you can possibly do with one
shoe?" asked the church worker.
why, the buttons on it" was the
reply. you could not get that many
in the store for 5 cents, and the chill
lun is always losing the buttons on

SO ling that has been the dream
of surgeons for centuries.
Experiments in this direction have
been made for years, and the method
has been used with success in several
European institutions, but, following
a series of experiments by Hopkins
physicians, the Baltimore institution
is ready<to save the life of a patient
but the use of part of theabody OF an
other-either living or dead-or, II an
animal cannot be found, tissue from
an animal may be grated with sue
cess on the body of a person.
The most striking feature of the
method is that living material taken
from one patient be stored away and
kept until there is need for its use
in an operation on another. It has
been found that tissue from a dog
stored away in an ice chest for eight
days grew successfully when grant
ed on the leg of a cat. In other
experiments the material was kept so
days and grew when t~ransplanted
to another body. Much human mat
eriaI, gotten in operations, is now
thrown away. This will now be kept
for use in the operating room. In
81. experiments on dogs the Hopkins
physicians t~ransplanted parts of the
bodies from one animal to another,
and to animals of another kind, with
remarkable success.
Many deaths occur annually from
the disitegration or collopse. of dis
eased blood vessels.
Many legs and arms, containing good
blood vessels are cut off every year.
The economy is to use them for pat
tents suffering from artery and vein
trouble. Skin obtained in operations
will be stored away for the first pat
lent who comes along with a bod burn.
The blood vessels and tissues obtained
from animals have been used success

1t is said that ANGER may be van

part and placing in it's place good
flesh from another body. The trans
phantom of muscles and bones it is
said, will be a common operation in

.DANGA|X HERE ID WORK OUT PLANS
 FOR LARGE HOTEL Says By Personal Efforts He Will Supply $6OO,OOO
 of the Amount HAS CONFIDENCE IN SUCCESS OF PROJECT Says Talk About the Financial Sit uation Will Not Deter Him
 From Going Ahead on
 Hotel Here

For the specific purpose of making final effort to promote the erection ol
 $1, ,0Oo, GOO hotel in this city. w. J. DansaiA reached Birmingham yesterday lroii'
 Iaris He was here several months ago negotiating with others interested in the hotel project, but returned to Paris pend ing the result of the local option elec- ton: Irasmuch as that question was
 settled as he desired 1t, MT. Dangaix
 will resume his plans for the hostelry He said yesterday in talking of the proposition that the whole situation had resolved itself Into the question of wheth- CT s4O0,OOo in money could be secured from Birmingham for the erection of the sl,- GOO eco hotel. He said that the remaining
 seO0,0OO would be furnished through his personal efforts
 Mir. Dangalx said that all the talk about dull business would not influence him in promoting the hotel scheme, as
 he believed from personal investigations
 that the financial situation was good so far as the hotel project in Birmingham is concerned. MT. Dangaix said: The proposition of erecting million dol lar hotel in Birmingham looks as good to me at this time as ever improvement resulting from a recent cleo ton which modifes the restraints placed upon the residents of the city. l will
 at once take up the plans where 1 left off for the hotel and expect to be able tc announce something definite within a few days. I will say that it will only
 require $40O0OO from the people of Bir-
 mingham to insure the erection of the
 hostelry. 1 will arrange for the remain
 der of the money required. As Brming- lam Is admittedly handicapped for hotel | facilities, l believe an investment of that kind would be good. We have previously | had plans made, and these will be fol- | lowed out.
 'I believe the hotel will be erected as I have faith in the business judgment and patriotism of the people of Birming- ham in assisting to build the hotel. "As far as the business outlook is con cerned, I have no fears about that. I
 would not hesitate to go ahead, although some say that conditions are not exactly ripe for new investments. Birmingham needs the hotel so badly that there should not be any fear on that score.
 q passed two weeks in New York city when I landed from Paris and things look very good to ne there The financial sit uation some say is rather indefinite, but am sure the outlook so far as we are concerned is bright enough to warrant the beginning of this work 1 am very
 enthusiastic over Birmingham. as I have always been, and I do not intend to stop
 until we prove the proposition of impos- sible or see it realized.
 MT. Dangaix, who Is now a resident of Paris, has a valuable corner at Nine teenth street and Fourth avenue upon which he hopes to see erected the sky
 scraper hotel As generally, understood,
 he has made liberal provisions to place his property into the hotel project.
