Mrs. Sallie B. Gibbs, 1s4 Water
street, Mount Holly, N. J., says: ''For
long time suffered from weak kid
neys. Finally, I was told to use
Doan's Kidney Pills and l did so. The
first box gave me relief and two more
boxes rid me of the trouble. 1 recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills in the

convinced me that they are worthy of
praise.
Mrs. Anna Cobb, I6I Water street,
Mount Holly, N. J., says: Zone of our

attacks of backache and also had
trouble from his kidneys. He finally
used Doan's Kidney Pills, which were
procured at Jones Pharmacy, and they
made him well. At that time l pub
licly endorsed this remedy in his be-
half and l am now pleased to verify
my former statements"

Love, cough. smoke and money can

The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-07-05

FROM the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Mad dog! Mad dog!' was the cry that
accompanied the yelping of a brindle bull
terrier as he tried to leap through the
granted windows of the Herald pressroom
yesterday afternoon. A crowd was after
him, and the animal seemed in terror.
Half exhausted, the animal fell back ON
the curved spikes protecting the Thirty
sixth street windows and was caught by
the neck between the iron bars of tho
railing.
when freed he ran barking into the
Herald pressroom, where the door of a
storeroom was opened. into which the dog
dashed The Society for the Prevention
and sent an officer to take charge of the
sufferer.
Investigation showed that a crowd of
boys had been stoning and chasing the
dog until, worried and famished, he bolt
ed into every open door, only to be clubbed
out again and driven through the streets. -
New York Herald.
Crowds of men and boys who pursue

Dogs suffer great deal from thirst
in warm weather if they are without ac-
cess to water. Any sign of sickness in a
dog is mistaken for hydrophobia by some
persons, and there are always street loaf
ers who enjoy an opportunity to chase
any dog that is pointed out as mad
The case reported by the Herald is
typical. The really guilty party is not the
brutal individual who starts the hue and
cry, or the nervous persons who sincerely
believe that the dog is mad. but the dog
owner who allows his dog to wander
about the streets without attention.

they are hydrophobia days, but because

violation of the act from the retailer
to the manufacturer. Under this con-
dition of things the purchaser and
consumer of food or drugs in cans or
packages bearing labels on which are
printed the words, guaranteed under
the pure food and drugs act" must
seek redress for any i'll consequences
that may come from using this food
or drugs from the manufacturer who
may be thousand miles away, and
not from the retailer around the cor
ner.
1t would be far safer and better for
the public if the labels were left off
altogether and thereby let the con-
sumner be put on guard. The word
guaranteed carries with it the idea
of the article being gopd and pure and
that is why the wordfcan be SO effec-
lively used as a snare by unscrupulous
manufacturers. But II the retailer be
held responsible, as he ought to be,
for the articles he sells when bought
under the impression that the word
guaranteed conveys to the purchas-
er the redress for the misrepresenta-
ton could be easily and quickly Sc
cured
Food and drugs are practically mat
ters of life and death every day of our
lives, and are too serious to allow of
any evasions being employed by the
use of words or other means calcu-
lated to lessen the natural precaution
most people observe in partaking of
either.

Birmingham Growing Fast

Birmingham has grown rapidly since
the last federal census said member
of the Chamber of Commerce. "The
school census of last July indicated that
Birmingham had a population of between
10000 and 10000 The next school cen
sus will be taken in 1914, and it is be-
lieved that Birmingham's population will
then be over the 100000 mark
ESTIMATES that Birmingham popula.
ton would be 100000 In 1920 have Ger.
tainly been conservative. 1t looks now
as if this city would have population
of nearer 100000. 1t will outstrip all south
ern cities except possibly New Orleans
and II may be that by 1890 Birmingham
will be classed with a larger population
in the census than the Crescent City"

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
IN DEBT.

4 LTHOUGH an earnest man was he
- and in his knowledge took great
pride, somehow he always CHANGED
to be on what looked like the losing side
Bad luck still followed on his trail, no
matter where he CHANGED to turn; his er-
forts were without avail. he could not
keep the coin he'd earn. Full many a
time he signed note for one whose need
called forth his tears, and later on, a
sob in s throat. would pay that note with
all arrears. An easy mark, some people
thought. and others said, "Philanthrop-
ist.' Though worldly wise and better
taught, friends pleas he Just could not
resist And now he sleeps, his heart at
rest, no more by earthly cares dismayed,
who gave of what he had with zest and
found his efforts poorly paid. A modest
slab denotes his grave, no fulsome praise
is carved on it; above his dust the grasses
wave and seem to murmur. "Please re-
nit"

Memon and His Band sunday

The first of the band concerts of the
summer series to be given in Capitol park
under the auspices of the Music Study
club will take place tomorrow afternoon
beginning at 4:30 oclock.
"Memoli and his band win give de-
light to thousands Sunday, said a mu.
sic lover. "Those who had the pleasure
of attending the Memoli concerts at the
Jefferson theatre in the spring were en-
thusiastic in praise of the band.
Mr.. Memoli Is a very fine conductor
Before he went to Italy to study he
was recognized as a bandmaster of tai
ent but he is in different class alto
gether now. He came back from Italy
a musician in the strict sense of the
term. He is not only an authoritative
conductor but he is painstaking and prac.
tically memories his scores prior to pub
lie performance. By the way, this mat.
ter of memorizing is very important ant
all first class conductors of symphony
orchestras and brass and reed bands Of
the concert class memorize in order tina
they may give attention to the men ano
not have their eyes fixed all the while
on the music. A conductor who has t.
watch the score closely cannot do mucf
in inspiring those who are watching
him.

proach to humanity. The disgrace. 1t will
be noted. is for the woman, not for the
man. The man need usually wear no
other mask than that of hypocrisy The
imagined spectacle of these masked wom-
en- who do not happen to have secured the
sanction of a few mumbled words of a
magistrate or a parson is not an edifying
one. G. X. Sims reminds that the
same system was tried In London in 1f4l,
and parliament even voted d grant of Soo,-
600 for IT'S support. Fifteen thousand
babies were received at this hospital but
only 1900 of them lived and the grants
were ultimately withdrawn after they
amounted to s2,5OOOoO. 1t is evident that
pious prudery was not content with so
hunting down the mothers that they were
compelled to wear masks in order to hide
themselves. 1t also killed several thou
sand of the babies whose only offense
was to be born without a due obeisance
to church and state.

Argument for Auditorium

Chairman Paschal G. Shook of the
auditorium committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, in replying to Commits
sioner Lane, makes strong argu-
ment in favor of a bond issue. In
growing city like Birmingham many
public improvements are needed but
at this time it would be impossible to
point out any need SO pressing as that
of the auditorium. Birmingham will
never be convention city of the first
rank until it has an auditorium.
The Chamber of Commerce under
the presidency of w. P. G. Harding
is making a special effort to have an
auditorium built and ready for use by
next spring. The city is asked to issue
$150,000 in per cent bonds to pay for
an adequate building and, as has been
pointed out before, local financiers
stand ready to buy in the bonds.
AS Mr.. Shook says, the auditorium
would be an asset rather than liabil-
ity. In his discussion he takes up a
number of details, all of which have
an important bearing on the situation.
Birmingham will have splendid hotel
accommodations but it cannot hope to
secure national conventions of large
size without an auditorium of large
size.
"There would be considerable in
come from the building ITSELF" says
Mr.. Shook, "and firmly believe that
by the time the city should have to
pay out any money on account of bond
interest or maintenance the increase
in revenue to the city as the direct re-
suit of building an auditorium will
greatly exceed the cost of interest and
maintenance. Birmingham cannot
stand still because of its debt and
large deficit in revenue. We all realize
that something must be done to re-
lieve existing financial difficulties.
The failure to build an auditorium at
this time. when there is considerable
public interest in the subject and after
much time and thought has been de-
voted to it by the Chamber of Com
merce will not in any degree lessen
the necessity for such remedial action,
and the burden, if there should be
such, will not be so heavy that it can
not be provided for in the general
scheme of readjustment."
There is every reason TO believe
that the voters would give large ma
jority in favor of the $150,00O bond
issue. 1t is sincerely hoped that Com
missioner Lane, after further consid-
Grafton, will withdraw his opposition.

Attorney General McReynoIds

There can be no question but what
Attorney General McReynolds acted
with some haste in wiring the district
attorney in California to postpone the
Caminetti case, upon the request of a
brother cabinet officer. But it can
hardly be conceived that the Attorney
General was actuated by any impure
motive. The district attorney, on the
other hand, as the evidence shows,
had ample time to again call the at
tention of his chief to the fact that
the government would lose advantage
in the postponement of the cases, as
he had previously done. Had he elected
to have followed this course, instead
of the more spectacular, and purely
political one of wiring his resignation
to the President and publishing the
whole story, nothing would have come
of it.
1t is believed that the few demo-
cratic newspapers in the country
which have called for the Attorney
Generals resignation have acted with
the same sort of haste and without re-
Election that characterized the Attor-
ney General in this one blunder. At
torney General McReynolds has done
nothing that warrants demand for
his resignation, and it is unfortunate
that newspapers supporting the ad-
ministration should seek to further
embarrass it by calling upon Mr.. Nc
Reynolds to retire from the cabinet.
With the important duties confront
ing any man in that place, and with
the volume of business constantly be-
fore the department of justice, it
would be strange indeed if some blum
ders were not made. Mr.. McReynolds
is very able lawyer, but he is no poll
tician. His mistake in this instance
was more political than otherwise.
He has probably learned his lesson
and in the future will not rely too
much on his subordinates and their
loyalty when they are of different
political faith, and questions are in
volved in which political advantage
may be gained by disloyalty. 1t may
also hasten him in appointing men
who are in sympathy with democratic
policies.

A STRANGE COMMENCEMENT

Sydney Dodd F'rissell in The Survey.
"oh, Freedom! oh, Freedoml Over Me!''
A thousand black singers stood and sang
these words; and the melody of their
freedom song passed across the graves
of 1000 northern soldiers. sea of black
faces surrounded little group of white
workers and northern friends and peered
up at trustees and speakers on the plat
form at Hampton institute, the famous
school in Virginia for negroes and In
dians.
Two colored boys climbed the stage be-
fore their graduation They wore no caps
nor gowns; they made no attempt to save
their race or country by oratory. With the
sleeves of their blue work blouses rolled
to the elbow, and wearing the apron of
their trade, these young carpenters built
the frame of a bip roof for miniature
house in 10 minutes. One of the workers
explained each step in the building of a
rof, as he worked. When the two black
builders leaped with their whole weight
upon the tiny roof ridge and it held them
firm. the audience applauded. 1t knew
more about roof building than it had 10
minutes before.
A tall, graceful colored girl walked to a
bed on the stage, Quickly removing
sheets and blankets, she aired the mat
tress and pillow case, busted the iron bed
stead and posts and made a model bed.
She explained the why and when of
each movement. 1t was an old story to
the 81 other girls OF her class, who had
made such beds for four years and who,
like her, wore dresses cut and sewed by
their own hands. Simple lesson though
it was, it will help more than one cabin
home in the south.
| The laying of bricks and mortar, the
cooking of a breakfast, the story of a
| farm demonstration agent, 30 years out of
| Hampton and a leader for better schools
and better farming, followed in quick sue
cession.
| Then student told the story of his life.
| Once a vagabond outcast, shiftless and
worthless, abandoned when a boy by
| his people, he goes back to them this year
South Carolina and to build a new home
for his parents.
From the platform followed the mes
| sage of white to black. The thunderous
melody of 1000 voices in the old negro
'spirituals' was followed by earnest
| speeches, full of fire and wisdom and
inumor.

the Importance of his position and wanted
everyone to know that he was the man

DIDN'T MIND WORK

From the Saturday Evening Post.
The talk turned to officeseekers in the
lobby of Washington hotel the other
evening, and this one was contributed
by Senator iShively of Indiana.
Two men, according to the senator, were
sitting on park bench one afternoon,
listening to the sparrows sing, when the
delight of holding public office was in
cidentally mentioned.
Look here, Jim, exclaimed one of the
pair, suddenly looking up, you are not
thinking of seeking an office, are your"
mo, can't say that / am replied
Jim reflectively, 'and yet II I got one
to my liking I might take It."

of a government job would be to your
taste?"

Big Holiday Rush

THE extreme hot weather does not seem
to have stopped people from eating strong
foods, for today, the, Fourth, we have
had a big rush of customers who wanted
all sorts of things to eat," said t. S.
Hobart, of the Florence Cafe, yester-
day.
Here is one order for six big sirloin
steaks and other dishes, and strangers
seem to run to such things in the bill.
Then. too. soft shell crabs, frog legs and
fish are in demand.
There seem to be many visitors in
town. We were so rushed at the lunch
hour today that we had to turn away at
least 20 persons. And think how hot
it is too. But you never can tell"

Midsummer Business

This weeks mercantile reports re-
fleet healty and active business condi-
tions. They all speak of an increased
demand for pig iron. The pig metal
has been dull for some months past
but the turning point seems to have
come. Iron prices have certainly
reached their lowest point and they
should now begin to move upward
once more.
Crop conditions are satisfactory.
The cotton crop promises to be larger
than the crop of 1912, which was next
to the largest ever produced. The gov
ernment report issued Thursday
showed that there was an increase of
856,000 acres in the cotton planting
area and an Improvement of 2.7 per
cent in the condition Of the crop over
June %. In Alabama the growing cot
ton is in splendid condition. Later on
there may be some damage from the
boil weevil but nevertheless the crop
in this state will probably be not far
below 100000 bales.
The corn crop in Alabama will, il
is believed, be a record breaker. More
corn will be produced to the acre be-
cause farmers have given the crop
better attention than ever before. All
told, this should be banner year in

Resignation or Removal

Government officials and high Of
ficials of business corporations are
usually allowed to resign when there
are no serious charges against them.
But in many cases the word resigna-
ton is only euphuism for removal.
1t seems that Postmaster Fisk did
not appreciate the intention of the ad-
ministration at Washington to let him
down easy by permitting him to re-
sign. He quibbled over the point of
Postmaster General Burleson intimat-
ing to him that his resignation was
wanted. He took the position that
he would only resign when the Presi-
dent called for his resignation; all
which has put the San Francisco man
in a poor light before the country.
Had he resigned when it was known
that the government wished to get
rid of him nothing would have been
heard of it outside of his home town.
The President has the right of re-
moval and in the nature of things
must always have such authority.
When postmasters, collectors and
other officials are to be appointed it
has never been customary to go
through the formality of asking for
resignation. The new appointee ac-
companied by a government agent
takes charge of the office and the
other fellow steps down and out.
