to the Bijou theater tomorrow, Tues
day, evening for the balance of the
week. 1t is seldom that star, even
of the films, appears in two houses
in one city at the same time, but
much is expected of those in the front
ranks of the photodrama today.
The story of THE Cost of Hatred"
has a setting in old Mexico and de-
tails the consuming desire for revenge
in the heart of a man. Miss viii

LUXURY LINES ARE GOOD INDEX ID MIND OF BUYERS Flowers, Cigars and Sundry Articles Bought Same
 as Usual, States
 Patterson

"When people quit buying fIOw-
 articles, or at least when they be-
 gin to kick on the prices or to
 substitute something cheaper for
 their former standards, then I will
 believe that business is not what
 it used to be and that we are suf-
 fering from 'waritis,'" snid J. P.
 Patterson, manager of Parker's
 drug store.
 q think a business that deals as largely in luxuries and caters as much to the public fancy as that of the florist and cigar dealer, a very good index into the minds of the general public as to their ideas of saving, anent the war crisis that is on us Of course. I realize that the drug bus mess comes under the ban of neces- sity more or less, but as to the toilet and sundry lines. cigars, cut flowers and news stand, we would immediate ly notice any seeming lethargy on the part of our customers to discard their former tastes. For instance. regular
 
 fall hard on the clerks ears if nc switched to a nickel smoke, or the 5-cent buyer to call for a trio of stog- ies for the nickel he has been ac customed to pay for single smoke. So from these angles I have watched ever since the war talk began to sift down from the fnancier to the plain wage earner. and 1 can see no change In their purchasing ideas. The young man loves his girl just as hard and that means flowers; while dad loves his two-for-a- quarter just the same and that means his usual favor ite brand.
 T not only believe that business is as good as it was in May. 1916, but see from our records where it is bet ter, and l am making more extensive preparations for business this year than ever before and especially in our floral business, where our planting has doubled and our output from our greenhouses will be twice as large this year as last We have demon strated this so far in 1917," concluded MT.

The Young Mems Christian association will follow the flag and boys in the camps of this and other countries and the campaign in Birmingham for s25.oo9 challenges the city's patriotism and gen erosity in providing comforts and facili- ties for their betterment.
 The campaign will close al 1 o'clock to- day and the teams are working with un- usual energy to secure s10,0O0 to make the campaign a success. It will not be their fault if the entire amount is not raised by the appointed time.
 Nashville, Knoxville Chattanooga, Memphis are all lined up for $25,000 and will be there with the entire amount. and Birmingham will decide today what she will do in making up her share of the great fund for this most important work.
 The reports yesterday were encouraging and the teams all showed up well. It is impossible to see every man personally and anyone who desires to be counted in this effort may phone name and sub scription to General Secretary Stallings at the Young Mems Christian associa- tion before noon tocay. He who gives promptly and generously gives well.
 Four thousand four hundred and forty four dollars was the sum reported yes- terday at 1 o'clock at the luncheon at the Hilman hotel as the result of the second days campaign making total of $14,059 for the two days. This leaves sl0,9 to be secured today to make the campaign a success in securing S25,000 in three days. This amount will be secured if the responses are generous and prompt. The impression among some that the officers of the association have several big gifts for the last day is without foun- daton. Not dollar is in the hands of the officers of the association for this fund It has been the policy of the officers of the association to turn in at | each dinner all the subscriptions secured 1 by them
