and other edibles will be placed in
paper bags and left at each plate.
Turkey dinner is an institution on

TAG DAY FOR THE BOYS CLUB

Tag Day is for the benefit of the Boys
club an institution conducted by well
known charitable and public spirited
women of Birmingham for the poor boys
who earn their living on the streets and
have no homes, and many of them no
friends. The Boys club is conducted on
the funds that is raised on Tag Day,
which is held but once year. Hundreds
of boys of the city come in contact with
the home every year and grow up to be
better and bigger men on account of the
influences which they there receive.
The club endeavors to furnish every
thing which boy between the ages of 6
or and II or IS can need. 1t gives ad-
vice, food, shelter, clothes, draws them
to the Sunday school, in many cases en-
ables them to attend the day schools and
receive the rudiments of an education
Mrs. w. d. Nesbitt is president of the
club. A home is now being maintained
by the club where the boys can obtain
cheap but clean and substantial rooms
and food under refining home influences
No man or woman can have any possi-
BILE excuse to appear on the streets to-
day without a tag. The girls will be
perfectly willing to tie one on, and the
only thing necessary is to give them a
coin of the size which any individual
thinks he or she can afford with the
good of the Boys club in view.

est Detail of Their
Recent Work

There was much speculation in Bir
mingham yesterday regarding the re-
moval by Governor ONeal of Private
Secretary McNeel. Recording Secretary
Nunnelee and Stenographer Simpson
Thursday night.
That the friendship of the three de-
posed men for former Gov. B. B. Conner
was at least partly responsible for the
unexpected action of the present gov
ernor was currently rumored. Mr.. Nc
Neel was secretary of Governor Conner
and Mr.. Nunnellee was recording secre-
tary to the former chief executive. Mr.
Nunnellee supported Colonel Mallor.
for governor and in the face of that
Governor O'Neal appointed the record
ing secretary to the same position he
had held during the Conner administra-
tion. Such was pointed out by Mr.
Nunnellee in his note complying with
u request for his resignation.
Governor Conner was asked yesterday
about his opinion as to the three men
i'll question 1t seems he heard of the
designations even before very efficient
Montgomery newspaper men had the
Information to their respective papers
He was very reticent about the specu-
lative reasons for the designations. He
said, however, that the men had been
loyal absolutely to Governor O'Neal 50
far as he (Comer) knew.
The friendship of Mr. McNeel and
Mr.. Nunnellee for me was well known"
said Governor Conner. But since being
retained by the present governor they
have never divulged one of his secrets

been so far as l know absolutely loyal

moval. To say the least, Governor
oNeal waited a rather long time to
force the resignation of his private sec
retary and his recording secretary They
have been in office with him some time
now. AS for their political ambitions
the governor knew, as all politicians in
Alabama knew, that Mr. McNeel was
an applicant for federal post, while
MIR. NuDnelee was a prospective candi-
date for secretary of state. Those am
hitions and political plans could not in

THE AGE OF
PREVENTION
Nipping Trouble in the Bud BY
Simple Precaution

The application of the principle of
prevention in medicine embraces the
more general use of antiseptic agents
as a mouth wash or gargle and in ap-
plication to cuts. wounds, scalds and
burns
The prevention of disease is much
simpler and certainly more easy of ac-
complishment than is it's cure. A little
scratch or cut. a simple sore throat a
slight ache, the bite of a mosquito or
gnat: insignificant irritations of the
moment. But the evils which result
from these slight causes form a ghastly
host of horrifying magnitude.
The commonest causes of disease and
death enter our systems through just
such infinitesimal mediums as the
mosquito bite, which has filled more
graves than were ever dug after battle.
DR.. Woods Hutchinson says; 1T is
really an excellent thing to be thin
skinned. Whenever you feel q scratch
or prick or Insect bite. wash the injured
part at once with some good antiseptfc
solution scratches and flea
bites should be treated with anything
but contempt"
In line with this thought, we have
carefully compounded LlSTOGEN and
we urge you to accept our earnest state
ment that in the prevention of infec-
tious disease, in the relief of sore throat
and minor ailments of the nose ear or
skin. in the care of the teeth or nails
as a deodorant or disinfectant LISTO-
GEN is the superior of any prepara ton

raised after the officers explained the

j. f. Mullins of Pittsburg, who has the
steel contract for that 81 100000 hostelry,
steel workers started constructing the
derrick yesterday afternoon. The derrick
will be placed before noon today where
upon the first steel will be fixed into
Ilace over 1000 tons of steel for that
hotel is already in Birmingham and it is
generally understood that the construc-
ton of the steel work will be rushed 1t
is said that Mr.. Mullins contemplates
bringing derrick from the Roden hotel,
the steel upon which is almost completed,
and operate two derricSs on the Tutwiler
In that event it is taken that an unusu-
ally quick job will be made of the Tut
wler work.
The placing of the derrick yesterday
afternoon manipulated by a crew of steel
workers attracted unusual attention at
the corner of Fifth avenue and Twentieth
street where the work is being carried on.

lief is general and based. it Is said, upon
logical grounds, that the government Of
ficials will make the change.
The city of Fairfield was created from
a waste space by local capitalists excla-
sively. 1t was designated to create city
where the skilled workmen of Steel corr
poration plants could enjoy living condi-
tions unexcelled by any place in the dis
trict.
To that end some of the finest landscape
architecture that has been worked out in
the south was projected and carried out
for that place. That the situation pre-
serted a fair field" where the finest
touches of the landscape architect could
find full sway was generally admitted In
view of the beauty of the place, its un-
rivalled array of opportunities and the
general scheme of affairs the highly ap-
propriate name "Fairfeld' was chosen.
Short talks were made by the business
men of Corey about the future of Fair
field" and the general opinion was that
something of great interest would be an
nounced soon.

Recitals by vocal celebrities and vir-
tuoso performers always appeal, of course,
to the musically educated, but it is safe
to say that the average music lover
derives more pleasure from a high class
symphony orchestra than from any other
source.

which will be heard in Birmingham for
the first time next Monday night, is one
of the five or six great orchestras of
this country. There will be three con-
certs in all-Monday night Tuesday aft
ernoon and Tuesday night They Will
take place at the Jefferson theatre, where
tickets have been on sale all week.
While the Cincinnati orchestra is max
ing it's first southern tour it is house,
hold word wherever music is appre-
ciated and music lovers in Birmingham
have long been eager to hear it. The
orehestra's southern tour is limited, for
it is in great demand in northern cities
and has engagements for the entire sum
