Such a comparison, however, is
not a fair criterion for Judging
the comparative economy in foods,

THE BLUE BOOK TO BE SOLD
 FOR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

MT. Thomas K Byrne, the compiler of Birminghams Blue Book, gives out an in- teresting statement in regard to the sale of the same.
 As was announced some time ago. one of the leading charitable organizations of the city will be in charge of the sale of the Blue Book, the proceeds from the sale going to that institution. There was much consideration given many different organizations which MT. Byrne could have accorded the privilege of the sale of the book to, but after due deliberation 1t has been decided that the officials connected with the Chidrens s Hospital will manage the same.
 The Blue Book has fallen into excellent hands, 1t must be admitted. for no more progressive set of women can be found than those connected with the Childrens s Hospital, of which Mrs. Kate Wittichen is the able president; Mrs. Barnes Nor gan, first vice president; Mrs. J. R. Thames, second vice president; Mrs. Sumter Bethea, third vice president; Mrs. c. M. Tardy, secretary, and Mrs. Walter c. Phillips, treasurer.
 The board of trustees comprises num- Der of Blrmngham's worthiest and most sterling citizens, including Dr. Carl Henckle. MT. J. w. Mcqueen, Gen. Louis " Clark, pr. ]. F. Dedman, and Mir Percy Brewer.
 Besides the officers ana board or trus- tees, many of the most influential women in Birmingham are active workers in the Children's hospital, among whom may be mentioned Mrs. Thomas D. Parke, Mrs Val Nesbitt. Mrs. Sidney Ullman Mrs. Hale Tarrant and others.
 It is reciprocal advantage to the Blue Book and to the Childrens hospital that the arrangement of the sale of the book has been effected, as the hospital needs funds to carry the splendid work in which 1t Is engaged, and an earnest ef- fort will be made to make the sales large in order to augment the exchequer. while if such is successful, it means the plac ing of the Blue Book in every household in Birmingham and many outside.
 MT. Bryce is very enthusiastic over the progress of the Blue Book and is receiv- ing every encouragement imaginable from the business element, as well as the social element of Birmingham in his effort to put the book on the market by the 10th of October.

Huffman related and she laughingly told them that while she had never expected any such good for tune, still if it had to come this was her lucky year, for her horoscope showed seven to be her lucky number, and this is her seventh year in the working world. She declares that she has had almost that many professions as we'll for after she came back from a three years stay in Paris. just seven years ago, she has done gold medal miniature painting and artistic photography, has directed large school of Art, has done general llustrat- ing, produced exquisite crafts work, and managed g farm besides.
