LETTERS TO EDITOR
Knocks Among Ourselves

TO the Eultor or The ABe-Helalu.
 It is surprising to me that there are those in Birmingham who arc dissatis- fled witt. the Birmingham issue cf the Survey" That magazine, when it got out it's Birmingham issue did not pub fish it with the idea of boosting the city, and incidentally ensconcing itself in the hearts of some of the industrial blow horns, so that with their favor and com mendation it's circulation would be stim- ulated It is not so-called popular magazine of tho much raking type which toades in turn to the arious localities of the country for the mere purpose of possible increased subscription lists. It Is not merely business proposition. advocating social uplift as an aid to the receipts from advertising. It Is a publication devoted to the consideration of sociological phenomena, wherever found and that is it's sole reason for being.
 Now, sociology is a science, or, if it is not science, it purports to view things with scientific indifference. which means that in any investigation into sig nificant facts, events, or frames of mind there must be impersonality in the view point. I said 'impersonality" in the view point. but of course there is a fallacy in that statement. l mean. rather. that an dealistc, nonsympathetic point of view must be taken-a view which is generally recognized by the best ele- ments of society of our American civiiza- ton as being in accordance with the ethical norms, or standards. which are recognized by this best element as a | desideratum.
 | Does anyone say that the conditions portrayed by the Survey articles were | distorted or overdrawn-that they do not mirror conditions as they actually exist here? Does anyone say that single con dition was invented for the purpose oi misrepresenting the district? I think that the writers were very charitable towards the district if charitableness consists ir | failing to disclose, and utterly condemn
 certain hideous conditions which l know
 to exist here, and which I know to exist
 to such an unusual extent that they may
 be said to be quite generally characters | tic. And I, like the writers in the Sur yey, would not be dealing with mere ab- stractions, but could marshal enough spe-
 cifc instances to appall many foolishl, l optimistic people who sit In their com ! foftable homes in tho evening and thinl

Follow and Draw Shot


 of the cue, and in a match against a local amateur made sensational run of 90 without a miss.
 Shaw, when fancy shots with cue or finger are concerned, is in a class by himself. In his day he defeated some of the greatest performers of this and other countries and on one occasion ap- peared with other experts in an exhibi- ton before President Arthur.
 One of Shaw's tricks is to set 1 balls on a pool table and make" them in one shot. This is considered the greatest shot known to the billiard or pool world One of his most sensational shots is called the bombardment of Santiago" Twenty balls are driven around the table twice from the upper end and made to stop in the lower cor ner.
 Another trick Is the follow and draw shot, both being made by one stroke of the cue. The illustration of that snoi Is shown.

SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN The HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural .Color--Dandruff
Quickly Removed.

There is nothing new about the idea Of
using Sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair
dark, glossy and abundant by the use Of
a simple "Sage Tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on dull, faded or
streaked appearance, they made brew
of Sage leaves, and applied it to their
hair with wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
the old-time tiresome method of gather
ing the herbs and making the tea. This
is done by skillful chemists better than
we could do it ourselves; and all we
have to do is to call for the ready-madc
product, Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, containing Sace in the
proper strength, with the addition of
Sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful color
and beauty to the hair, and is one of
the best remedies you can use for dan
druff, dry, feverish, itching scalp, and
falling hair. Get a fifty cent bottle
from your druggist today, and you will
be surprised at the, quick results. All
druggists sell it, under guarantee that
the money will be refunded if the
remedy is not exactly as represented.
