Passing of q Restaurant

"The Easonville Creamery and Cafe on 2Oth street, near Third avenue, one of the oldest and most popular restaurants in Birmingham, will be vacated on the first of October to make room for The Traders National Banks eXtension,' saia prominent citizen.
 q began taking midday meals at the Easonville about ten years ago. It served good food then at moderate prices and It does the same today. It made specially of waffles and country sausage. l always thought the Easonville sausage was the best seasoned in town, and no waffles in Birmingham or elsewhere could compare with those served in this restaurant of which I speak.
 '.The Traders National bank has grown steadily until it now demands much larg- CT quarters. While I am glad to know Of it's prosperity 1 will miss the Easonville, and I am sure that many of the older cit izens whose business requires them to tramp along 20th street, will miss the fa- miiar sign
 ''The passing of well established res taurant will be certainly worthy of note. I hope the proprietors will be able to find another stand and open under the same name.''

Business Mems Parade

In this city, which supported almost to man Oscar Underwood for Presi- dent, it goes without the saying that the business men will turn out en masse on the day to be named for a simultaneous parade of Wilson and Marshall merchants and business men in every city from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The day for the parade will be announced in due time, and our own Wilson and Marshall club should appoint at once strong committee to organize and get ready for it.
 The evidence everywhere is abun- dant that business men have confi- dence in Woodrow Wilson. They &C., cept a revenue tariff as the best pos sible plan, and they consider Oscar Underwood a sound, safe and trust worthy leader. He will be the majori- ty leader in the extra session that will be called next spring, and tariff re- vision in his hands will harm no one. It will benefit all.
 Let us then get ready for great demonstration when the national busi- ness mems parade takes place.

ALAND OF MYSTERY

From the New orK irlDuHS.
 The recent experiences of young Amer ican in the great unknown district of Peten.@ in Guatemala, has furnished for science one of the most valuable records in years regarding the life of what is per- haps the most ancient race of human beings in existence.
 In trip just completed. in which he spent more than two years in the jungles of territory whose mystery has for years repelled as well as attracted the ad- venturous, Russell Hastings Millward, Americas youngest explorer. has not only captured the worlds mileage record by travelling across more than 300 miles of unknown country. but has opened Up for the merchant and archaeologist land whose wealth has hitherto only been guessed at
 The popular impression that there IS no more work for the Twentieth Gen. tury explorer could find no better refu- tation than in the exploit of this young man. The district of Peten. lying to the westward of British Honduras. between the Caribbean coast and the Bay of Campeche, has been known since tirno immemorial to all Central Americans ns .Ths Mystery.

As towering office buildings multiply in Birmingham, so does the demand TOT office space increase" said prominent member of the Chamber of Commerce.
 Tn 1901. when the Woodward building which was Birmingham's first steel struc- ture, was completed it was quickly niieo. But at that time there did not seem 10 be any demand for more office room. Now Birmingham has a large nunper Of skyscrapers and others are soon 10 pc in course of construction. It IS sare to predict that by January the demand for office room will be much larger than the supply. It Is another safe prediction that within the next five or six years the number of office buildings will be douoied'
 "The Baltimore Manufacturers Record in announcing editorially that the Ala pama Interstate Power company haa leased office space in the 8rown-Marx building, said: The influence upon BIT mingham as an office center by reason CT the concentration at that point of the work of this great undertaking VIII De far reaching"

The question of providing recreation parks for the Chinese, says the Living Church (Milwaukee), is one of the utmost importance. The Chinese dwellings are generally close and poorly ventilated, and mass, and few sanitary measures have been taken, as a rule. It follows that the health of the Chinese is seriously i'm paired, and open parks and squares are needed in most of the large cities. The Chinese are coming to realize this fact and with the many reforms and improve ments which are now taking place in China the question of providing parks and playgrounds will not, it is believed, be entirely overlooked.
 Much interest has developed, especially
 in Antung according to the American consul at that place. There was so much discussion during the recent plague with regard to the general health of the com munity that definite steps have been taken toward providing recreation facil- ities. A large tract of land has been secured by public subscription, and ex- tensive improvements are being made. Driveways are being built and tea houses and other places of entertainment are being erected, and 1t is said that the recreation grounds will include a tennis court. The American consul furnished the local Chinese officials with interest ing data giving pictc-es and informa- tion with regard to the excellent parks and playgrounds which American cities had provided.
 It may be taken for granted that Ameri- ican missionaries will take leading part in providing these needed facilities.

first place, over half the jurors summoned for duty failed to show up on Monday morning, and the judge had to send out and pick up a new set from the banks and nearby offices-young men who couldn't get away.
 The lawyers generally sent word that they were busy in some other court or had something else to do, and wouldn't the judge please put off their cases for them this time?
 And as for those hundred defendants, most of whom were out on bond, they seemed to be the least concerned of any, body. So much so, that hardly 10 per cent of them answered their names when they were called. A neighboring juror ex- plained that when a man got out on bond in a great majority of cases he didn't come back at all
 Tn fact, got the idea that the only persons the judge felt really sure Of put ting his hands on when he needed them were the niggers in the cage, where they had been brought from the Big Rock Jail.
 Anyhow, I got $1o for my five days service, and am certainly glad they were paying me by the day instead of by the job!"

SAFE WAY TO QUARREL

By Max Q Rell
 The Scotchman possesses genius for business, as the following dialog would indicate. One of his favorite proverbs is, "He will soon be beggar who does not know how to say no.' A laird of Lanarkshire was one day accosted by one of his neighbors as follows:
 Laird, I need e20 sterling. If you will be kind enough to accept my note, you will be repaid in three months.'
 NO, it is impossible, Donald
 But why, laird? You have often ren- dered a like service to your friends"
 Impossible, Donald, I repeat"
 Then you mean to refuse me?'
 Listen, Donald, and follow my req soning: As soon as I accepted your note you would draw the G20.''
 Yes"
 When the maturity of the note ar rived, l know you, and that you would rot be ready. Then we should quarrel. Very well! But, Donald, should rather that we should quarrel at once, while the G20 is in my pocket

EFFEMINATE STYLES FOR MAN

 are alco becoming popular.
 Gold knobbed sticks, chased and em- bossed, are considered necessity; and, carried with a certain mincing air, al- ways attract attention. The first fin-
 ger of one hand carries a gold ring, in
 which is set single brilliant, and the third finger of the other hand also dis plays a diamond set ring.
 | It is the essence of style to vary ones | combination of jewelry with ones dress. For instance, the topaz collar pin should only be worn With Speclal

 The male evening dress will perhaps soon include the tiara, while the dia-

GARLIC CURES CONSUMPTION

From the New York American
 Ireland, which has the honor of origi- hating the outdoor cure for consumption and all tubercular affections, now comes forward with a direct specific for the dis ease, a thing which physicians have de- spaired of finding.
 pr. Minchin of Dublin has discovered that garlic is of great value in treating the dreaded white plague
 He declares that garlic is not only of value after other treatments have failed, but that it is highly efficacious in all cases where the feet, hansis and joints have been affected, and that amputation has, in number of such cases, been avoided by the simple use of garlic. It is also recommended that the patient eat garlic raw at least once day.
 As is perhaps natural, the medical pro fession has questioned pr. Minchin's dis covery, but further investigations seem to fully confirm his findings.
 ciple of garlic is allyl sulphide, which is powerful germicide. For this reason people who are in the custom of eating garlic are far less subject to any form of tuberculosis than those who refrain from the odorous vegetable.
 The garlic treatment" is not designed to supplant the outdoor treatment, for the two complement each other. Garlic is the specific for the disease and living out of doors is the treatment.

USED SERVANT AS A STONE

Fpom Froissart's Chronicles.
 The French brought from Toulouse four large machines which cast stones into the fortress night and day, and they made no ether assault so that in six days time they had demolished all the roofs of the towers, and none within the castle dared to venture out of the vaulted rooms on the ground floor. It was the intention of the army to kill all within the castle, if they would not surrender themselves internationally.
 When Sir Frank van Halle. Sir Alafn de Finefroide and Sir John Lendal, who were thus beseged, saw how desperate their situation was, they asked their serv- ants if there were not one among theri who would, for a reward, undertake to de- liver the letters they had written to the Earl of Derby at Bordeaux. One from among them stepped forward. and said ne would be the man who would cheerfuiiy undertake the commission, not through lust of gain, but from his desire to deliver them from the peril they were in
 The following night the servant took the letters and sewed them up ln ms clothes He was let down into the dltches' 
 when he was at the bottom he climbed up the opposite side and took his roaa through the army, for he could not aVo'o pushing through it. He was met by the first guard, but was not stopped Tor ne understood the Gascon language well, and named one of the lords of the army, as IT belonging to him; so he was suffered 10
 pass on; but he was afterwards arrested and detained. He was interrosated, searched, and the letters found upon hin., and guarded until morning. when the prin- cipals of the army assembled in the tent ], of the Count de Lisle. where the letters were read They were rejoiced to ind that the garrison was so much straitened that they could not hold out longer; and seizing the servant they hung the letters around his neck, thrust him into one. of the machines, and flung him into Aubero- che. The valet fell quite dead amid Ire | other valets of the castle. who were much l terrified at if.

BOSWfll. tllle Ol JOHHSOI-j
 MT. Henderson, with whom I had sauntered in the venerable walks of Merton College, and found him very learned and pious man, supped with us. Doctor Johnson surprised him not q little by acknowledging with a look of horror that he was much oppressed by the fear of death. Tie amiable Doctor Adams suggested that God was infinite ly good Johnson; That he Is infinite ly good, as far as the perfection of his own nature will allow, I certainly be- lieve but it is necessary for good upon the whole, that individuals should be punished? As to an individual, there- fore. he is not infinitely good. and as cannot be sure that l have fulnlled the conditions on which salvation Is grant ed, am afraid I may be one of those who shall be damned.'' tLooking ois- mally.)

even accepted an appointment to Tur- key in 1909 by President Taft.
 It is reasonably certain that Straus will split the republican vote in New York in the middle, and the demo- crats will win hands down if they present an acceptable candidate. A plurality elects in New York. If the democrats cannot find a better man Governor Dix, who has kept the treas ury full, will fill the bill. He has been a safe business governor. He is not a genius. Neither is Straus nor Wadsworth. All in all the democrats might go farther and find worse.

For Governor of New York

The New York bull moose conven- fion, held at Syracuse, was stampeded by "Suspender Jack McGee," an ex- Rough Rider, and former Secretary of Commerce and Labor Oscar s. straus was nominated for governor. He is 4he son of Isador Straus, who went down on the Titanic, and his mother vent down also, preferring to stay with her husband.
 The nomination will prove popular. qhe Taft nominee will probably be ex- 0peaker Wadsworth, and he will do ~ell if he polls as many votes as l5fraus will. Straus was member of Rooeevelt's cabinet and yet he was

Horses in Western Kansas

Over 4800 horses have died from a mysterious disease in western Kan sas, and Fort Riley, a great cavalry and artillery post where 1500 horses and mules are kept, is located in Kan sas.
 It is intimated in recent dispatches that the horses of that section have a form of spinal meningitis, and that it is communicable to human beings. This report, however, has not been confirmed. All that is known is that thousands of Kansas horses have died in a few weeks, and that the aged Secretary Wilson stands indifferent to the outbreak of the disease.
 If the disease extends to Fort Riley the Secretary of War will be heard from, and that, too, promptly. But Fort Riley is in Geary county, which is not far from Topeka in eastern Kansas, and the epidemic may not spread that far eastward.
 As things stand the disease is new and mysterious and no veterinarian seems to be able to explain its source or it's possibilities.
 It does not thus far appear that mules are subject to it. Should they be a boom in motor cars and motor ploughs will certainly follow.

A HEROIC DEATH

Mahlon Day, q prominent stationer Of New York, many years ago, says Rev. Joshu Kimber in his interesting 'Remin- iscences" in the Living Church (Milwau- kee), was one of the passengers on the Collins Line steamship Arctic, which foundered in mid-ocean and but few lives were saved. He had secured the cover of hatchway to support him in the water, when young woman fellow passenger, otherwise a stranger, by a supreme ef- fort, reached his support and he drew her up on it. Finding that the improvised raft was not of sufficient buoyancy to support both, he said to her, ''Thy young life is worth more than my old life. Fare well.' and slid off into the water. She lived to tell the tale. Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends On one occa- sion I used this as an illustration in a sermon in my old home parish When leaving the church, I was accosted by a lady accompanied by three children, who said something like this: MT. Kimber, you must stop These are Mahlon Day grandchildren

p, ,.vuoUsE TO BE WASHABLE

Paris Correspondent New York Times.
 M. Gemier, who is the most modern of Paris theatrical managers, has come to the conclusion that ordinary theatri- cal managers are out Of line with modern ideas of public health and has, therefore, decided that his own house shall be the last word in hygienic perfection, and pioneer in this direc- ton.
 The theatre. when finished for the autumn season, will be entirely lined with paint and linoleum, and M. Gemier boasts that the whole interior can be cleaned after each performance with a few pals of water He contradicts. however, the suggestion that the the atre Antoine will resemble a magnifed bathroom, announcing that the walls will be painted rich red. This color he considers a most suitable one for a theatre as it is not only decorative, but from it's darkening effect has the ad- vantage of minimizing the depressing appearance of nearly empty houses.
