FROM THE Tor OF A MOTOR BUS

Nlti nature uolng so much TOT II.
 FROM THE ToP OF A MOTOR BUS s. NJ. Brothers in the Atlantic Monthly. take comfort in the philosophy which glean from the top of London motor bus. From my point of vantage l look down upon pedestrian humanity as Su- perman might look down upon 1t. It seems to consist of vast multitude or ignorant folk who are predestined to immediate annihilation. As the ungainly machine on which I am seated rushes down the street it seems admirably adapt ed for it's mission of destruction. The barricade in front of me, devoted to the praise of Bovril, Is just high enough to prevent my seeing what actually hap pens, but it gives a bloodcurdling view of catastrophes that are imminent l have an impression of procession of in nocent victims rushing heedlessly upon destruction Three yards in front of the onrushing wheels is an old gentleman crossing the street. He suddenly stops There is, f1umanly speaking, no hope for him. Two nurse maids appear in the field of danger A butchers boy on bicycle steers directly for the bus He may be given up for lost. I am not able to see what becomes of them. but 1 am prepared for the worst Still, the ex- pected crunch does not come and the bus goes on.
 On sober reflection I come to the con- cluson that should have taken more hopeful view if had not been so high upl if, for example, I had been sitting with the driver, where I could have seen what happened at the last moment.
 There was much comfort in the old couplet:
 Betwixt the saddle and the ground.
 He mercy sought and mercy found.
 And, betwixt the pedestrian and the motor bus, there are many chances of salty that I could not foresee. The old gentleman was perhaps more spry than he looked. The nurse maids and the butchers boy must assuredly have per ished unless they happened to have their wits about them. But in all probability they did have their wits about them, and so did the driver of the motor bus.

adapted to truck farming. There are many truck farmers within a few miles of Birmingham and the number is in creasing steadily. It is said that the pop ulation within a radius of 50 or GO miles of Birmingham totals Goo00o, and within this same radius is great deal of high class agricultural land. If cities in natur- ally poor territory thrive greatly, how much more should Birmingham thrive with nature doing so much for it.

The Frogrc..Iye Party

"The paper of Herbert Knox Smith set ting forth the aims of the progressive party which appears in the Yale. review for October is being widely circulated in pamphlet form by the Yale Publishing as- sociation," said one in sympathy with the bull moose organization. Herbert Smith, it will be recalled, was United States commissioner of corporations. He gave up that position and is now the progressive candidate for governor of Connecticut. On account of the promin- ence of MT. Smith his article is sure to attract attention.
 ''The progressive platform is made up to catch votes. Mr. Smith talks of the platform eloquently, but he does not ex- pect Colonel Roosevelt to be elected Pres ident. He points out what, in his opinion, will be the alignment in the next eight years. He says that by that time the progressives will be in power: that the party of opposition vii. be the demo- cratic party. I think he is exactly right in his forecast so far as victory goes. The progressives will not win this year but will, l predict, achieve victory in 1916. There will be no republican party then"

 It is a great jobbing center and is an i'm portant manufacturing center. IL has more accumulated capital than any city in the south, perhaps, and yet the coun- try right around Richmond is extremely poor.

Inquir,c. for Mineral Property

industrial activity and especially activ- ity in the iron market is naturally stim- ulating inquiries for mineral lands in this district" said a mineralogist. "As is well known and as The Age-Herald has stated recently, there is comparatively little good coal land for sale in Alabama, and there is still less good ore land on the market.
 "A good quality of ore in the ground is of good intrinsic value. have wondered why there was not more money invested in the ore mining business in this district. l understand that a company is obout tb be formed to develop a body of about 15o0 acres of ore land in Shades, a few miles from town.

DON'T PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS

Pull out one gray hair and a dozen
will take its place" is an old saying,
which is, to a great extent, true, If no
steps are taken to stop the cause.
When gray hairs appear it is a sign
that Nature needs assistance. 1t is
Natures call for help. Gray hair,
dull lifeless hair or hair that is fall
ing out, Is not necessarily a sign of
advancing age, for there are thou
sands of elderly people with perfect
heads of hair without a single streak
Of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when
the hair seems to be lifeless or dead,
some good, reliable hair-restoring
treatment should be resorted to at
once. Specialists say that one of the
best preparations to use is the old
fashioned sage tea" which our
grand parents used. The best prep
aration of this kind is Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a prep
aration of domestic sage and sulphur,
scientifically compounded with later
discovered hair tonics and stimulants
the whole mixture being carefully
balanced and tested by experts.
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harm
less. 1t refreshes dry parched hair,
removes danrduff and gradually re-
stores faded or gay hair to its natur-
al color
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and sulphur at
once and see what a difference a few
days treatment will make in your
hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and is
recommended and sold by special
agent, Pendeton Drug Co.
