careful consideration of their best qual ities. Baking is the best method always all potash salts are thus kept, and they are more digestible when mealy. After well done crush the potatoes and let the moisture escape few minutes before serving.
 Everything to be done in the kitchen as in everything else, requires method and this is why there are so many poor cooks and so much dyspepsia. Simple dishes well prepared are far preferable to fancy dishes. though, oi course, the latter fill in to tempt the ap- petite, and thus it is often abused.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Birth of a Nation'

The return engagement of "The Birth of Nation will be concluded with the matinee performance this afternoon and the presentation tonight of David w.. Griffith's great drama of the civil war. The second visit of the supreme motion picture drama of the south was even more triumphant than was it's initial showing in the city when it was wit messed by 21.000 people. The seats for the matinee this afternoon are practically all gone and there are only few scattering ones left for the late corners. For to- night there are still few good seats, which were going fast when the box office closed last night.
 The matinee this afternoon will begin at the usual hour of 2:30 o'clock, but the night performance will start an hour and half earlier, the picture starting to run promptly at o'clock This is done in order to allow the film to catch a train for New Orleans and to accommodate party of 200 people from Blocton, from which place an excursion train will be operated this afternoon.
 The management of the theatre wishes again to remind patrons that the film be- gins at z o'clock and to emphasize the expediency of all patrons to be in their seats at that hour in order to miss noth- ing of the immense spectacle.

FINDS
 RAILROADS FAIR
Writer Suggests They Should Be Ap- preached in Proper Spirit in
 Building Viaducts

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 For sometime past I have noticed 3 number of articles appearing in the col ulnns of the daily papers in reference to the elimination of street grade crossings with the railroads, and what was accom- plished in the construction of the First avenue viaduct between Twenty-fifth and Thirty first streets, which I understand was worked out on some satisfactory ar- rangement between the city officials and the railroads interested. Later on I mo- ticed an article ins the papers to the ef- fecst that the city commissioners had given the railroads notice that they must replace the Twenty-first street viaduct with a new structure to conform with plans as prepared by the city engineer at the expense of the railroads.
 The map of the city of Birmingham shows that thes line of one of the rail- roads was used by the Elyton Land com pany, predecessors of the Birmingham Realty company, in plating this city; therefore, the railroads were here first, and have aided in making this city what it is today. which prompts me to ask the question: 'Is it fair to ask the rail- roads to bear the entire burden of this expense when the necessity therefore was, to an extent, created by the people?''
 My business brings me in contact with the officials of the different railroads in the district, and I have always found them fair and disposed to deal in a broad and liberal way, and am of the opinion that if the railroads were approached ir the right way there would be little trouble in the city successfully handling this question in a way that would be sat- isfactory to all parties concerned, and I hope that an effort will be made to reach conclusion that will not work hard ship upon any interest. Very respectfully yours, T. H. BENNERS.

That all soul softening, overpowering knell,
 The tocsin of the soul, the dinner bell" As spring draws near the ringing of the dinner bell seems to call one more to g. feast of good things-the early fruits and vegetables are far more tempting to the appetite.
 Vegetable dinners, in days gone by, meant an all-day cooking, and singing, as the old-time cook used to ring her voice above the "sizzing' of the boil ing pots.
 Modern methods have overtaken the world, and the kitchen is progressing.
 Vegetables in the past were cooked in large quantities of water. destroying much valuable saline matter-and the sugar.
 The exact length of time required to cook vegetables can only be determined by their quality, as to age and fresh ness. All green vegetables should be cooked rapidly, in boiling salt water. To preserve the color cook in uncovered ves- sel; it is not advisable to put soda in the water for that purpose, as has been custom. Too much cooking toughens and destroys the flavor, nor should veg etables be allowed to stand in the liquor. Spinach is an exception to the principle of boiling water. 1t should be placed over the fire with it's dampened leaves after washing. Sufficient moisture exists for it's own liquor
 All fresh vegetables should be crisp and firm. If the condition is otherwise they can be freshened by soaking in very cold water. Our vegetable treatment is even more important than the care of our bouquets, and the essence of each must be fresh to be good. After vegetables are well cooked the liquor should be drained therefrom and all seasoning added with a small bit of the liquor; then lap the top of the vessel on lightly to allow the escape of volatile matter and to retain the rich color. This process assists in retaining flavor also. Vegetables should be cooked at once after being prepared for the stove. in order to retain nutritive qualities Steamed vegetables lose only one-third as much food value as the boiled; but steaming is slower process and con- sumes more fuel. Some people object to the odors from a vegetable meal. This can be prevented by changing the water after a few minutes boiling, or the use of red pepper or even a tiny bit of charcoal.
 The treatment of potatoes is without
