OBJECT TO PROOF.

The American Economist thinks that Demo
cratic congressman are getting peevish at the
plain signs of injury caused by their tariff
legislation. Referring to the visit of congress
men to Hawaii, the Economist relates this
instance:
Democrats who advocated the framing of the
underwood-Simmons law become FESTIVE and irrita-
bic when confronted with evidences of its failure
Recently. Democratic members of the congressional
party returning from their of Hawaii were very
much disgrunted ever what they termed sugar
propaganda" with which they were confronted upon
their arrival in the islands.
Representative Robert Y. Thomas of Kentucky,
one OF the Democrats in the party said he had been
IN Hawaii but a short time when it apparent
that there was sugar propaganda"
IL was made perfectly evident" said Mr. Thomas
that the sugar barons want more tariff and that
the Republican members want more campaign funds.
As far as am concerned would never vote for a
revenue producer"
The Economist also adds the following COM
ment:
1t is a significant fact in this connection
that Mr.. Thomas comes from Kentucky, and
not from the neighboring state of Louisiana,
where the effects Of the reduction in sugar
duties have left such a heavy imprint that the
industry in that state is paralyzed. That Mr..
Thomas and other Free Traders in the con-
gressional party visiting Hawaii should resent
the sugar planters of that territory presenting
them with facts and figures showing the i'll
effects of free sugar, simply proves that the
of the Underwood bill are becoming
very peevish over the vast amount of destruc
tive criticism of their pet policy"

Tales of serious unrest among the swarming
millions of India persist in spite of the persist
ent denials of British officials that there is any
dissatisfaction in the great country. Stories
of revolt are branded as false. But it will be
remembered that the revolt at Singapore was
minimized by the British so successfully that
not until months afterward did the world learn
how serious the outbreak really was. It will

LICENSE
 TAX NOT REQUIRED
Coupons Must Be Sold to Retailer to Come Under
 New Law

Montgomery. November 24.-(Special. ) In answer to an inquiry of Auditor M, c. Allgood, w. II. Mitchell assistant attorney general, has ruled that the Birmingham Coca-C Coca Bottling com pany and the Christian Peper Tobacco company of Birmingham are not re- ouired to pay a special license of 5000 for the privilege of issuing premium coupon or tags. The ruling was un- der section Ill of the revenue license act passed at the recent session of the legislature.
 The terms of this section, including the terms laid down for it's enforce ment. clearly indicate, in my opinion, that the business sought to be regu- aited and licensed is the issuance or selling of coupons to merchants for distribution to other person or retail customers said Mir. Mitchell
 In the opinion of Mir. Mitchell, In cases where coupons are issued "as d mere incident to the sale of these goods and the actual transaction involved is the sale of the goods and not of the coupons, it could no way be determined whether or not there are any receipts on account of the distribution of the coupons or how much such receipts might be-
 In concluding his opinion. MT. Mitch ell said: "If the Coca-Cola people or tho tobacco people do not sell the cou- pons for distribution by the retailer at the retailers pleasure, it is my opin- ion that they are not subject to the license under the act to which you refer"

son having any affection even remotely communicable has been employed in any capacity. The kitchen is effi- ciently screened from flies and other insects. On recent visit of the de- partment of. health food inspectors it received a Hotpoint score
 So far from resembling those soup kitchens and coffee stands which spring up overnight in industrial crises and then disappear, the peoples kitch- en has established itself as q perma- nent institution, and Investigations are now under way to determine the best site for the first branch kitchen.
 Let Birmingham consider such a public kitchen as a permanent Thanksgiving din- ner. Some place can be secured in the downtown district and maintained for a comparatively small expenditure. With some of the same money as is now law ishly spent for turkey dinners the peo- pie who need this kind of aid can be assisted each day in the year.
 School lunches have been found a sue cess, and are now indispensable, espe- cially for the child who is unable to bring lunch from home. The public kitchen could be maintained on similar scale for the help of the tired working mother , and the worn-out working father Let the social workers of this city make such . venture possible in the, near future.

Miss Jeanne Eagles, who made such a marked impression in Birmingham a few weeks ago as Miriam in Hubert Henry and. despite the fact that she is only a few weeks over 20 years of age, has had wide experience on the stage and is hailed as coming star of the first mag nitude. Miss Eagles will be in Birming- ham again today at the Jefferson in Out ca st"
 Although Miss Eagles had always longed to play Miriam in "Outcast,' ? she secured the part only through an ac- cident. When Thomas w. Ryley secured the touring rights of the play he found considerable difficulty in finding an act ress of sufficient ability to present the character originated by Elsie Ferguson Miss Eagles happened in his office one day. said a few words to him, and when she reached home that evening con- tract awaited her signature,
 Miss Eagles went on the stage at the age of 14 touring with repertoire com panies in the middle west, where she was a big favorite. Later she joined Richard Carle's and The Pink Lady companies and earned considerable reputation as a dancer. Next she took up stock work for a year and then became a member of Billie Burke's Mind the Paint Girl" Last season she toured the country as Julian Eltinge's leading woman in The Crinoline Girl" Showing her versatility still further, early this fall she appeared before the camera as leading woman for Arnold Daily in photoplays.

 Thousands of dollars are put into the common pot for the feast of a day. Why not put the money to bet ter use? Instead of making Thanks giving a one day thanks, make it a NsN%~> a day.
 Winter is here, and as sure as winter comes, comes suffering and hunger. Its a sort of watch dog of the grey haired north wind, and in it's howl we hear the cry of every day wants.
 Why not a kitchen for the public?
 Last February an old saloon build ing in New York was thoroughly reno vated and converted into peoples kitchen, under the direction of the committee on public kitchens, and the department of social workers of New York Association for Improving Con ditions of the Poor.
 The kitchen was but an experiment aimed at improving the condition for the wives of the district who could not supply sufficient and substantial food for children and husbands.
 It placed on sale cooked dishes at a price less than thea retail price of raw food.
 There is no element of charity or almsgiving about the work. The food is purchased through the association s regular channels in large quantities, and in this way the best Is obtained at a low price. Enough is added to the cost of the material to pay for the cooking and serving, so that the kitch- en now is actually self-supporting.
 The serving of every meal is a busi- ness transaction in which the pur- chaser Is able to buy at bargain with cut dvulging .hls creed or belief or otherwise satisfying the curiosity of amateur sociologists.
 Throughout the administration of the kitchen full advantage has been taken of the experience of the social well fare department of the A. I. c. P. in dietetic research and in serving palat- able and nutritious food at low cost to school children in New York city. Like every other activity of the associa- ton, it has been held to a high sani- tary standard The methods of han ding and preparing food have been studied and every possibility of con- tamination eliminated.

THE ORIGIN OF THE
 BARNYARD TURKEY

Here is an interesting answer to the query: What is the origin of the barn yard turkey?''
 Undoubtedly few of us have thought to stop and consider the genealogy of the great master bird of Manufacturing fame and yet his history is interesting
 We give it as follows:
 How the turkey came by it's name has been a moot question for long time The fowl is an American bird which was introduced to Europe from thenew world and had nothing whatever to do with Turkey or the Turks. The name turkey, however, was originally applied to the fowl. and some authors in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries confounded the two species. As both birds became more common and better known, to quote the Encyclopedia Britannica, the distinction was gradually perceived and the name turkey became restricted to that from the new world, possibly because of its repeated call-note, to be syllabled turk turk, turk whereby it may be almost said to have named itself. The turkey so far as we know, was first described by Ovideo in his 'Sumaric de la natural his- toria de las Indias,' said to have been prblished in 1527 The chief point of in- forest in his account is that he speaks of the species having been already taken from New Spain (Mexicol to the islands ana to CaStllla dei OrO (Dar1en), where IL bred in domestic state among the Chris tians. Much labor has been given by va rious naturalists to ascertain the date of it's introduction to Europe, but after all that has been written 1t is plain that evidence concurs to show that the bird was established in Europe by 1530-a very sEort time to have elapsed since it became known to the Spaniards, which could hardly have been before 151S when Mex ico was discovered" There are two kinds of turkey, the North American, and the smaller and more brilliant bird found in Guatemala, Honduras, etc The north- err wild turkey is now almost extinct and the southern wild turkey is rare.
