A RnffaIn XIsifnr

f. +. Huff, a prominent business man
of Buffalo, n. Y, is registered at the
Hotel Hillman and will remain in Bir-
mingham until next week. lie has a
number of friends here, and was the
luncheon guest of one of them at the
Southern club yesterday.
Il was in Birmingham just year
and a half ago, and was greatly inn
pressed with the beauty of the South
Highlands and the enchanting pros
pect from the top of Red mountain"
said Mr. HUFF. n had the pleasure of
riding along Altamont road, and the
gentleman who was travelling with me
enjoyed greatly, as I did, the stretches
Of valley and rugged hill country and
the far-away mountain sky lines
'On this trip am particularly struck
with the handsome improvements made
in the business district. Birmingham
will soon have hotel accommodations
commensurate with its size and lmpor-
tance. The Tutwiler, to be completed
within few months, will be one of the
most magnificent hotels in this coun-
try. Birmingham seems to be growing
at a very rapid rate. 1t has unques-
uonably a splendid future"

been effected, the service has been
standardized in a large measure, and
economies have been practiced wher-
ever possible. It is not the aim of the
government to run the postoffice for
profit. The public will be given the
benefit of the balance.
1t has been estimated that the prof
its from the parcel post for the year
1913 will amount to 30,000,000. This
may be an exaggeration. Mr.. Burle-
sons report, of course, deals with
only six months of the calendar year
Furthermore, since the Department.
ruling that ordinary stamps may be
used for the transmission of parcels,
it is impossible to separate its re-
oeipts in any accurate manner.
The railroads have long complained
that they carry mail matter at loss,
but their appeals for redress SO far
have gone unheeded Now that the
postal service is in such flourishing
condition, their claims may be given
more consideration.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-19
business Outlook Frightening

Il believe that next year will be one
of decided activity; some business men
predict that 1t will be a great boom
year." said S. &c. Thompson the real es-
tate man, who returned a few days ago
from an eastern trip.
Il was in New York when the holt
day trade was getting in full swing.
1t was the first time l had been in
Gotham near Christmas time. Well, 1t
is worth a trip just to see the rush and
excitement. OF course, L had heard a
good deal about the holiday while in
New Yorks retail district, but when
saw it ! simply marveled.
Il was very much Interested in the
Wanamaker store. The toy display is
attractive to grow-ups as we'll as the
children. Mr.. Wanamaker owns a great
many beautiful paintings, and he has
them on exhibition in the store, making
an art collection of real merit. Another
thing that attracted me at Wanama :
kers was the fine orchestra giving con-
certs free of charge. The programmes
were high class 1 did not count the men
in the orchestra, but it looked almost
as big as a symphony organization.
II went as far east as Danbury, Conn.
to look after some personal business.
On my way back to Alabama 1 came
through Ohio and stopped at my old
home town, Oberlin."

EARTH AS FOOD

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
Among many strange foods which the
Inhabitants of this world partake of, and
consider delicacies, perhaps the strangest
of all is earth. Yet there are tribes the
Lastians of Siam, who actually eat and
enjoy earth. 1t has never been discov-
cred where these peculiar people CON
tracted this habit. though it is generally
believed that it probably came about in
the time of a famine when there was
nothing else to be had. However, the
habit has now got such a hold upon them
that old and young, rich and poor alike
indulge freely in its consumption.
1t is preferred when it has been ac-
quired from the vicinity of waters, st
that it carries with it a taste of fish. II
is made into "a pasty substance and smoth-
cred into the ground in a hot fire. 1t can
be obtained at markets and at stores
and is served at dinners and at big fune-
tions of any description.
In some parts of the Congo, earth is
sold in the shape of apples and oranges
and is given out in various colors-yellow
brown, gray and even pink, which is
looked upon as a very deleetable luxury.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-19

an announcement after the recent past.
1T is anticipated that the production
of pig iron during December will still
further be curtailed. making the produce
tion for the month about two million
tons. although it may perhaps go less
than this II this is the case, ii will be
the first month with such a production
since November. 1911. At that a produe-
tion of two million tons would mean
yearly production for 1913 of about
thirty and a half million tons. At the
present time the number of active
stacks is the smallest since December,
1911.
THE southern market has not
changed, production being low and iron
going directly from furnaces and stor-
age yards to consumers. In the south
there is no effort being made to en-
courage business for 1914 delivery and
the conditions there, due to all the
product having been sold and stocks on
yards depleted, make for the steadier
price than has been the case in the
north Stocks on yards In the Birming
ham district are lower than they have
been for years, and an increasing de-
mand in the south for iron has resulted
in the maintaining of the southern price
where northern iron has recently de-
clined."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-19
The Hobson-DonOvan Debate

Political campaigns in Alabama are
seldom tame or devoid of interest.
The senatorial contest is beginning to
warm up, and the joint debate be-
tween Congressman Donovan of Con-
necticut and Congressman Hobson,
who is opposing Democratic Leader
Underwood for the senatorship, will
be as entertaining as it will be novel.
In the capitol at Washington re-
Gently Mr. Donovan and Mr. Hobson
had an impromptu debate, in which
they called each other hard names.
At one time it looked as if the two
members of the House would have a
fistic combat, but they managed to
curb their wrath.
The Connecticut brother, however,
will not be satisfied until he has it
out with the Alabama brother in joint
discussion before an Alabama audi
ence. In a letter to The Age Herald,
which appeared in yesterdays issue,
Mr.. Donovan challenged Mr.. Hobson
to debate the question, Resolved,
That absence from Congress by a
Representative in good health is hon
est and justifiable," the challenger to
take the affirmative.
Mr.. Hobson happened to be in Gads-
den when he saw The Age-Herald and
he lost no time in giving out through
the press an acceptance of Mr.. Dono-
vans proposition.
The Connecticut congressman like
Congressman Hobson is in the habit
of using vigorous English. Both men
are full of ginger and the debate will
be calculated to draw men from miles
around. The judges to award the de-
cision will be chosen, it may be as
| sumed, with great care.
AS the youngsters would say, "it
will be great fun"
Let the debate be in Birmingham
and let the largest hall be secured
for the event. If it is to be free,
there will be an immense overflow
crowd, no matter where the debate is
