DOG WAGON STARTS

The dog wagon of the city of Birming- ham will be inaugurated tomorrow. All dogs whose owners have neglected to ap- pear at the city hall and donate $1 toward the operation of the city expenses will forfeit said canine provided the army of ebony catchers can loop the animal with the wire hoops. The commissioners some time ago instructed Street Commissioner Gafford to arrange a new wagon for the dog man and equip it. with strong un- sympathetic horse. All this has been done and the campaign stars tomorrow.
 The dogs captured by the city will be killed by drowning or gas unless redeemed by the owners.

WADUCT MATTER
 |S AGAIN PASSED Railroads Want More Time in Which to Consider
 the Proposition

The question of a viaduct over the grade crossing near the Sloss furnaces twill be studied again by the railroad executives, according to an announce ment yesterday when a request was made upon Commissioner A. o. Lane to pass the viaduct question until some future date.
 Col John Tillman, representing the railroads interested, said the executives who have handled the negotiations in conjunction with their local executive agents, see that it would be wise to meet with the commissioners and ex plain to them the logic of the agree ment made with the council
 Upon the representation of Colonel Tillman the question was passed by the commission to be set later. The state ment was made that the presidents and executives could not be here until some few days by reason of pre- yious en- agreements. However. it is stated the question will be discussed within a very short time.
 The developments of yesterday indi- cate clearly that the viaduct matter will assume the shape of a counter pro- posal on the part of the commission CTS. IL was stated that whatever was agreed upon here by the commission must of necessity be referred to the | executives. That indicates to the stu dents of the vfaduct negotiations that Judge Lane will vote in the negative on the present plans and then make a counter proposal on the part of the l comm ssioners.
 l Just what plans are under way can not be ascertained at this time, but it is stated the railroads will be offered an equitable proposition but one differing widely from that made by the council.

A typical old-time "circuit rider"
died recently in Alabama man
whose godly unselflsh life will long

and many anecdotes are current
among the Methodist ministers OF the

familiarity with which he addressed

When BUYING Vegetables.

In buying vegetables avoid carrots,
beets and similar roots that have their
green tops removed.
AS withered or discolored tops would
betray vegetable age. the dealer care
fully cuts or trims them OFF Roots
with the earth clinging to them are
usually fresh. Roots that are too free
from earth and very clean looking are
usually stale and old They look clean
because they have been freshened by
soaking in cold water Dealers have
not time enough to clean fresh vege-
tables simply for the Joy of doing it,
When they do so you can be sure that

SOME KITCHEN HINTS
WORTH BEING POSTED WHERE
THEY CAN BE SEEN.
Some Directions That Are Household
Words, and Some That Set Forth
Ideas That Are New and
Valuable.

Here are few rules that it would
be well to cut out and paste up in your
kitchen. They are hints about affairs
OF that very important region of the
home:
/. Wash saucepan in plenty of
hot water; but never wash cake tins
or frying pans. Wipe them well with
piece of paper, which is afterward
burned. and polish them with a dry
cloth.
2. Stand saucepan. fish kettles, etc,
in front of the fire for few minutes
after washing them so that they may
be thoroughly dried inside. This
makes them last longer and helps to
keep them in good condition.
3. Pudding cloths, jelly bags and SC
on should be well washed, scalded and
hung up to dry. 1t is not necessary
to iron them. but they should be
smoothed and folded before they are
replaced in the drawer.
4. Add little soda to the water in
which you wash plates and dishes
The soda loosens the grease on them
face.
8. Never add soda to the water in
which you wash silIer. Use a wooden
tub. with plenty of hot water and soap
and dry the articles with soft cloth.
If silver is carefully washed and dried,
once a week will be found often
enough to clean it with powder and a
leather Silver should be kept in a
baize lined drawer or basket, for If IL
is laid on hardwood it is apt TO be
scratched.
6. Never put the handles of knives
into hot water or they will split. If a
knife has been used for cutting onions
or any other strong-scented vegetable
dig the blade of 1t once or twice into
garden mold to remove the smell be
fore it is washed.
Z. II a pan is burned or blackeneC
rub the inside of it with a hard crus
OF bread dipped in salt and afterwarC
wash II with hot soda and water.
s. BE very careful to keep the lid
Of saucepans clean. for the favor o
one dish may cling TO a lid which ha
not been washed and spoil a secon,
dish which is prepared in the sam,
pan.
8. After washing up wipe out tn
dish tub and allow It to stand by tn
