Birmingham, Ala, March . IA
large woman suffrage conference
will be held here today and tomor-
row. DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, not
withstandng the accident which
happened to her a short time ago, is
present to attend the meeting, and
it will be especially interesting in
view of the prominent part Repre-
sentative Underwood played in de-
feating the resolution for a woman
suffrage committee. Mr.. Underwood
told members of the congressional
committee of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association that he
does not want woman suffrage agi-
tated in Alabama. These women
who have invaded the south and are
making speeches for suffrage are
''agitating" that subject, notwith-
standing Mr.. Underwood's desire.
The women plan to take an active
part in the coming campaign in this
State. One of the candidates for
United States senator has declared
himself in favor of sugrage, and he
will no doubt receive the support of
the suffragists.

THE DEADLY CIGARETTE
(R. s. Gavin }
NO. l..

Not long ago fire g,ltted one of
the leading business houses in
Southern city. Anh the fire had its
origin in the stub of a cigarette
which some one had carelessly
thrown into a box of sawdust.
have heard it affirmed that the
great Baltimore fire few years ago
was caused by lighted cigarette.
A few years since a man falling
asleep with lighted cigarette in
his hand, started a conflagration in
Tampa, Fla, which destroyed
$SOO,OOO worth of property; rem
dcred 1000 people homeless, and
left 1000 working men and boys
without jobs. Just think what one
abominable little old cigarette can
do! See what great fire it can
kindle! VI we had all the wealth
that has been burned up by the fires
of our country caused by cigarettes,
we would have money enough to en-
dow all our great colleges in the
country, and furnish free tuition
for students for all time to come.
Yes, we would have enough ready
money to send a sufficient host of
missionaries to foreign fields to
cvangelizc the world within the
next half decade.
But what is all this monetary
loss, indirectly accruing from the
use Of cigarettes, when compared
with the loss which the youth of
our land is sustaining in and by the
habitual use Of the deadly ciga-
rcttc?
] give it as MY candid opinion,
based upon pretty strong evidence,
that there are more young men and
boys who are sucking their own ruin
into their lives through a cigarette
than there are who are sucking
theirs out of a bottle.
They are falling on our right
hand and on our left-victims of
the deadly cigarette. Statiscians
reckon the average mans value at
$ooo year. And this means that
the average man who works is the
equivalent in productive value of an
engine, or some other industrial
plant, worth 100000, producing at
6 per cent an income of 5000. So
it comes to pass that the death Of
the average workman is equivalent
to the destruction by fire. or other
wise, of $4,000 mill, engine, or
other industrial plant. Therefore,
the economic loss of every boy, or
young man, whose usefulness the
cigarette habit undermines. is
equivalent to a fire that burns up
$4,000 worth of choice property.
1t is really great deal worse than
a fire; since the unfortunate victim
may live for years, parasite upon
his kith and kin, and a deadly poi
son to society. And when at last
be dies, those who have carried him
as a burden can have no recourse
to insurance money.
No matter how tiny and inno-
cent-looking the roll wrapped up in
white. it is most assuredly the Dew
IFS concoction to ensnare and en-
slave the bodies, minds, and morals
of the youth of the land. marvel
that the laws of the country permit
its use by anybody! 1t either cre-
ates or caters to every i'll that hui
man life in its moral aspects is
heir to.

YESTERDAY WAS
BIG DAY WITH
THE METH0D|sTs

history of the revival at the First
Methodist church After the Sun
dav school hour, all services OF the
dav were held at the Auditorium
where surprisingly large audiences
greeted the speaker.
At II o'clock Mr.. Klein gave a
chalk talk to Christians. 1t was one
of the most practical and helpful
sermons of his whole series, and
held the closest attention of his
hearers. He evolved out of the
great reservoir of the Divine Spirit
first a right heart, opening into a
right life, speaking in right and
willing testimony, from thence to a
right and helpful service, on to a
right use of money, and out into the
unlimited field of availing and pre-
vailing prayer. He showed that the
clogging of any avenue made prayer
of small avail and resulted in back
sliding along the whole range of re-
ligious manifestation.
At p m. ar audience of not
less perhaps than 500 men heard
the evangelist in strong yirile ad-
dress on "Chickens Come Home to
Roost :" He was plain without vul-
garity, pointed without coarseness,
insstent without harshness. He
dealt out without stint or measure
denunciaton of sin in its common
and grosser forms, and, while leav-
ing no ground on which the sinner
might stand, took occasion to point
him to the Rock or Ages and to the
Fountain opened in the house of
David for all sin and uncleanness. >
At night the largest audience of
the day greeted the speaker. He
chose for his theme the fact, the
character ad the endurance of hell.
1t was a strong presentation of
great Bible truth and yet one
that feels the constant assault of the
would be teacher" whose self-ap-
pointed task seems to be to get hell
out of the Bible. He said it made
no difference to him what name peo-
pie chose to call hell by. Since Jesus
had said it was eternal and it's in
habitants undying, it was the best
place in the universe to keep away
from.
At the close of the service large
number of young people, for the
most part young men, came forward
for prayer. During the day between
twenty and thirty persons applied
for membership in the church.
Professor Boyd's singing was
greatly appreciated and very help
full in forcing home the preachers

Today's program involves a meet
ing at II o'clock for church officers,
three cottage prayer meetings at
2:30, young mems prayer meeting
in primary room at 7:15 p. m. and
