f ana 1nulVluHal SufererS. No summons IS left without careful attention Besides
 the churches, their aid societies and the various homes for the care of the needy young and old, there are hundreds of
 women of the city who giving of their
 time and means to alleviate the distress
 of the population toward finding employ
 ment for those who need work. and the
 making of homes more comfortable and
 sanitary. The process of reaching all the
 needs seem very slow, necessarily with a young city and an increasing number who
 are actually moving 10 town to earn their daily bread, and have been trained | to no practical industy, a thriftless incu- | bus for the people to handle. This is where the greatest neglect seems most
 apparent, and really this is the most piti- full phase of our poverty stricken dis | tricts. Families who have lived shift | less, idle life on the farm and elsewhere, | manage to raise just enough money to come to the city, where they read of needed workers. the man rents his home. ard places therein family who have
 never known what it was to make or save
 a dime, the consequence no salary is ade-
 ouate to meet their demands, or actual needs, and they are soon in debt. The man is depressed and if he does not desert the family he falls in with bad company,
 and then begins the need of public atten- tion. The Mercy Home may claim the babies, the Boys club and Childrens Aid society looks after the children, the
 mother probably needs q hospital and
 the man finds many willing workers to
 aid him in mending his ways and seeur- ing work and often the home is re-estab- lished These are deeds that are being done every day all over the city by con- certed action of a charitable people, but these deeds are not in print often. The | work Is done for the cause. not the nos toriety. but if one corner of the city escapes this administration, and one fam | fly is overlooked, it does not remain in secret long.
 It seems hard to imagine human beings huddling in some of the neglected corners of the city, yet when one endeavors 70

THE GOOD THINGS ARE
 NOT ENOUGH TOLD
BY MRS. J. B. REID.

As we miugle with folks each day, we are more often reminded of the errors Of our friends than of their well doing, and linus we seem to cultivate a morbid eager hess to hear the evil. On and on these a.npleasant communications are carried, berhaps each time, unintentionally, mag hlified, until we have wrought a wrong on b. community. We who are aware of real conditions and know the congregations can modify our impressions, but to "the lFtranger within our gates the facts given are literal, and to the world the prvil is heralded and good is given an in- Signihcant posiuon-in fact, is too small No mention.
 To those who are constantly in touch hwith the philanthropic and charitable vvorkers of the city the fact is well known Yhat Birmingham is famous for it's good feeds-no cause is neglected and no call Ior help is left unanswered. It is a pro Gerbia1 fact that the business men have Given literally to the aid of institutions

cism unless the individual citizen looks after their share of the neighborhood, cleans out their own back yards and set worthy example for their neighbor.
 This is the age for doing things; criti- cism is not always pleasant, but when there is a mere chance the public will give their share so 1t behooves us to tell of the good things that are being done and repent of the neglect as seen by our visitors, and not be reminded that strangers find us imperfect. We are try ing to build city that will continue a credit to the south, have only the infant now and are nursing it to the full grown American standard. Every child stumbles before il is grown, but when It regains it's boise it rises above the blow and starts afresh and grows beyond the fal- terng age.
 A visit to the various institutions of the city Is conclusive proof of a generous effort. and though half has not been done the workers are still on the job, and suffering humanity, whether of body or mind. Is the foremost charge of the public eve.
 In order to know these needs, intelligent. soul loving help is engaged who give all their time toward administering to the worthy and lifting as far as possible the unworthy.
 It is but natural when we hear of so much opportunity for wrong the eager workers give fresh impetus to the cor rection, and these new made communities are only reinforcements to those already engaged. The service, although often rem dered by some one church interest is non-sectarian in its influence, all faiths. and often no faith at all. become objects of earnest and friendly attentions. Our buildings may be primitive for the comple- tion of the work, but the genuine struc- ture is in the heart of Birmingham's real citizens. When we know these facts, even if it takes long time to right the wrong that we realize is hard to cure all at once, let's look hopefully and cheerfully at the effort. Tell to others the pleasant things that have been accomplished, and nurse our skeletons as a sacred trust, until the time can. come and we can open our closet doors and the walls will be frightened by the shadows of the true man, created out of the darkness of de- spar.
 Everybody has the privilege of being generous with cheerful spirit Paint the good pictures and frame them for others to see. Give pleasant thoughts and pass them on and on.

California. for IS years The light is one of the show stations on the Pacific coast and is visited by large numbers of tourists from Monterey.
 John Sharp Williams sat himself dow. in the Senate restaurant the other noon. and among other things ordered some potatoes
 Sweet or Irish potatoes?" inquired the waiter
 Williams looked at him tolerantly. Down in the country he replied, "a po- tato is a potato. or I mean a potato is sweet potato, and an Irish potato is an- other matter. When I said potatoes, meant sweet potatoes. of course
 The incident reminded Williams of. the time he was living in German boarding house when attending Heidelberg, and chanced to discuss one day the potatoes he got at home. Nobody at the table believed him. for they were thinking about Irisn potatoes, and he was talking about sweet potatoes So from then on he was re- garded as an easy going liar and nobody. around him would believe word he said If he came in and remarked that it was raining everybody at once assumed that there must be a cloudless sky without.
 At last he got so tired of the atmos- phere of disdainful incredulity that he moved to another boarding place, where he carefully avoided any mention of po- tatoes
 '.Ill bet you" declares Williams that if I were to go over there and tell these people what a great statesman I have be- come-and, undoubtedly I am a great statesman-th they would all conclude was a monumental liar"
