MULES BRAIN IS
 BEING EXAMINED

Montgomery, February 27.-(Special)- One of rarest animal heads that have yet come to the attention of the State Pasteur department was being examined on Monday, when pr. DeWald of that de- partment busted himself with an analysis of a mules brain. The head was sent from Pickens county, and the molars of that member when it was attached to a living body had pierced the anatomy of a man in whose behalf the examination was made.
 A positive result has not yet been at tained.
 The brain of this particular mule weighed one and one-half pounds on the scale, which the state has provided for the Pasteur department. fact which but for a later explanation of Dr. DeWald would tend to refute the generally &C., cepted theory of mule not having much sense.
 Despite the fact that he has heavy brain," stated pr. DeWald, 'the convo- lutions are lacking.
 That's the true test of gray matter"
 Members of the Pasteur department are somewhat interested to find out whether death If the former course was pur- sued the department stands ready to tip it's hat to the owner who so willingly parted with a quadruped that Is as good as about $200 worth of the finest currency.

FULLER BILL IS
 STILL IN FORCE BOdeker Instructs Men That Law Must Be
 Enforced

On account of the fact that numbers of the patrolmen thought that the pas sage of the Parks bill meant the re- peal of the present prohibition laws Chief Bodeker has found it necessary to issue the following order to the TO- lice department:
 Captains and Sergeants: l insist that you see tbat the patrolmen try to en- force the prohibition laws on their re- spective beats. I shall expect them to do it or know the reason why. I real ize that a great many of them have the wrong impression of the Parks bill that was recently passed by the legisla- ture and signed by the governor. The passage of the Parks bill did not repeal the Fuller and Carmichael laws. and the law stands the same as 1t did before the Parks bill was passed. l expect each member of this department to see that these laws are enforced to the best If his ability so long they remain on the statute books. l hope that l will not have to call the attention of the depart ment to these laws again.
 GEORGE H. BODEKER,
 Chief of Police.
 Many of the men thought that the massage of the Parks bill meant the repeal of the present prohibition laws, said Chief Bodeker. and that the bllnd tigers were allowed to run. This Is not the case and l warn every tiger opera tor that the Fuller and Carmichael laws will be enforced by the police de- nartment until they are repealed by the neople. so let them act accordingly

According to the latest advice received by the Business Mems League from Senators Johnston and Bankhead and Representative Underwood and commun- cated to the board of directors at a meeting last night, the mail service on the Louisville and Nashville railroad will not be affected by the reduction of the post office cars, by order of Post master General Hitchcock to become ef- fective March 16
 The information to this effect was con veyed to the local business organiza- tion by Senators Johnston and Bankhead and Representative Underwood after a personal assurance made them by the assistant postmaster general, who stat ed that the Birmingham service would in no way be delayed by the reduction of the present 50 foot railway postoffice cars on trains No. 1 and No 4, to 30- foot apartment cars.
 It stated at the meeting last night that the Business Mems league had assumed an initiative in the mat ter only in so far as it was considered probable that local business conditions

might be affected by delay in filling mail orders, through a curtailment of the service.
 Another important feature of last nights meeting was the action taken by the directors whereby the secretary was instructed to use various methods of advertising as a means of attracting large crowds to Birmingham during the National Child Labor conference In addition the directors discussed and act ed upon different plans of advertising as outlined for the ensuing year.
 The directors decided on one other scheme, which, if carried out success fully will make for the development of an esprit de corps among all the busi- ness dealers of the city. The secre- tary was authorized to take immediate steps toward having regular gatherings called among the separate dealers for the purpose of discussing the needs and the ways and means of promoting that class of business In view of a general welfare. It is thought that an unusual amount of good might be accomplished by bringing about an organization among the shoe, the dry goods, the furniture, and other dealers and vigor- ous efforts will be made toward this end

GOOD OUTLOOK IN
 BUILDING LINE
H. FULENWIDER SAYS HE BE- LIEVES THAT BUSINESS CON- OPTIONS IN 1911 WILL BE BET TER THAN EVER

H. Fulenwider, vice president and manager of the Fulenwider Building
 Material company and East Birming
 ham Iron Roofing and Currugating company, made the following comments
 on building and general business con-
 ditions as he sees them:
 q believe that 1911 will be a much more satisfactory year than 1910. We
 handled a greater volume of business
 during January than we did in any
 month during 1910 and February bus
 mess bids fair to outstrip last month.
 The building public seem to be real
 izing that now while lumber and all
 lines of building material are cheap
 is the time to do their improving. l
 understand that buildings have already
 heen announced here in Birmingham to cost in aggregate over s5,000,000 and tn csc comprise only office conner
 cial and other public buildings. Add to this stupendous sum the residences now under way and in architects of fees and you can understand that my
 hopes of the year being better than last year are not based solely on the fact
 that l want it to be so Compare con-
 ditions with this time last year and you will agree with me. Inquiries from the northern and eastern states are more plentiful and the yards and whole salers in both north and south are showing a willingness to pay better prices for lumber than they were q month ago.
 in anticipation of what we think will be a satisfactory year we have added to our holdings in standing pine
 timber and increased our saw and plan ing mill capacity We have also in stalled building material wareh house
 on the corner of Avenue B and Six teenth street. south, to suppliment the one we have at East Birmingham. This gives us more economy of distribu- ton on heavy materials, like sand, lime, cement plaster flue Things and sim liar building necessities. and also en-
 ables us to make more prompt deliv- cries. This warehouse Is in charge Of J. M. Mayo.
 T have made several trips over the southeastern states within the past
 three months and after consulting the leading jobbers and retailers I find general business conditions to be very good. The farmer has made good crops and gotten high price for them. The majority are out of debt and have
 money ahead. They are spending their
 surplus very wisely by adding new
 buildings and otherwise improving their farms.
 While I do not think that business during 1911 will move at that break neck speed chara cteristic of conditions for three or four years prior to the panic of 1907. I do believe that there will be plenty for us all to do, and along sane and conservative lines which, experience has taught me, IS
 better for us after all"
 Business conditions throughout the country have shown a wonderful re- vival during the last two weeks so

TOO MUCH APPROPRIATED
FOR TRIP, SAYS STRATTON.
Matter May Again Come Up Be-
fore Fire Board.

Referring to the resolution passed by
the fire board in his absence to appro-
pirate $500 for their trip to Milwau-
kee to attend the fire chiefs conven-
ton, Commissioner Stratton said today
that he did not propose to take the
matter up at the meeting of the board
this afternoon.
81 do not wish to make any fuss
about it," said Mr.. Stratton, for l am
not going on the trip and did not put
my name to the resolution. 1t was
passed in my absence. and, although 1
still think the amount is too great, es-
pecially since it is only for three men,
/ will not discuss the subject. My
conscience is clear.
II maintain that $500 is too much for
the trip. Figuring IN the basis of $3.50
apiece, the amoun to be expended by
the chief, it would only mean $3.50. But
since the commissioners will not do the
entertaining the chief will not need all
the money"
Commissioner Stratton told a STAR
reporter that the trip could be made
for a hundred dollars easily. A regp-
lar meeting of the board will be held
this afternoon, and 1t was expected
that the matter would be referred to
by Mr.. Stratton.

Great by Morning.

You're bilious, you have a throbbing
sensation in your head, a bad taste
in your mouth, your eyes burn, you
skin is yellow, with dark rings under
your eyes; your lips are parched. No
wonder you feel ugly, mean and Ill
tempered. Your system is full of bile
not properly passed off, and what you
need is a cleaning up inside. Don't
continue being a bilious nuisance to
yourself and those who owe you, and
don't resort to harsh physics that ir-
ritate and injure. Remember that
every disorder of the stomach, liver
and intestines can be quickly cured
by morning with gentle, thorough Cas-
carets-they work while you sleep. A
10-cent box from your druggist will
keep you and the entire family feeling
good for months. Children love to
taxi Cascarets, because they taste
good and never grippe or sicken.
