Nothing the Matter
 With This Business

Joseph H.-Loveman, of Loveman Joseph & Loeb, can see no reason why Birming- ham should not have just as good busi- ness this year as any othe year. In fact, MT. Loveman states that he be- lieves that Birmingham Is destined to have the biggest business this year that the merchants have ever known.
 Our business is good, we have no complaint whatever to make. It is not as good as it was in May, 1916, that is very true, but we had a big re- union here in May, 1916 that we are not having in May, 1917," said MT. Loveman.
 'T think Birmingham is destined to have the biggest year with local mer- chants that we have experienced in years. There is now no curtailment in any line that I know of, things are running along smoothly and We are doing business as heretofore. All I hear about business being off is what I read in the papers; I don't hear or see anything that would indicate such in the city. Our collections are good and sales are good.
 Instead of any curtailment of forces, or cutting down in any department, we are looking for good people all the time and have not even entertained an idea that was not to increase our force and consequently our efficiency, when we find the proper person to add to .e our large number of employees" con cuded MT. Loveman.

Ne, Corn Remover in Big
 Demand Say Druggists

Since the virtues of ice-mint as corn remover became known in this country druggists have been having an extra ordinary demand for this product and it is predicted that this summer women will wear smaller and prettier shoes than ever.
 The fact that this new discovery which is made from a Japanese product will actually remove corns-roots and all-and, without the slightest pain or soreness, is of course, mainly responsi- ble for its large and increasing sale.
 You apply just little on tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness Is relieved. and soon the corn is so shriveled that 1t may be lifted out with the fingers-root and all.
 Ice-mint is clean, creamy, snow white, non poisonous substance and will never inflame or irritate the most tender skin.
 Cutting or pairing corns often pro- duces blood poison and people are warned to stop it.
 Just ask any drug store for small Iajar of ice-mint which will cost little yet is sufficient to rid ones feet of ev- cry corn or callous. You'll like it i'm mensely.-Adv.

SURPLUS FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
 WILL BE HANDLED ON TOLL BASIS
CAMPAIGN WILL BE CONTINUED FOR A MONTH
 BY REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE
Campaign Started With Rush and Success Prompt Realtors to Keep Up the Work-Jerome Tucker Gives Views and
 Reasons Why It Is Advisable to Own Ones Home

constrained to doubt the advisability of building residences at this time, though fully convinced that there has never been a more opportune time to buy one al ready built.
 T believe that one of the difficulties facing the real estate agent and prop ertv owner at this time is that the en- terprise of our builders, our real estate agents. our citizens has outstripped the growth of the city. The pause that oc- cured in business upon the outbreak of the war in 1914 has not been fully re- covered from. One is compelled to face the fact that there is at this time surplus of residences in this city. It is estimated that there should always be a surplus of or 8 per cent to properly take care of the housing proposition. Less than this puts prospective tenants at too much disadvantage. More than this leads to dissatisfied property owners In other words, I consider it just as senseless to produce too many houses as it is to produce too much of anything else
 If the builder does find a customer to buy, or a tenant to occupy, is it not at the expense of some other house and the added burden of another vacancy? Until vacancies become approximately normal in Birmingham (and they are rapidly approaching this desirable condition), the prudent man will hesitate to build for investment and unless one IS determined to bring into view his own peculiar and more or less artistic architectural con- captions he will buy home that some one else has built.
 "In my experience there has never been a more propitious time to buy than now. For just as certainly as the pen dulum swings far in many instances in the direction of unwarranted valuations just as certainly has it also swung too far in the opposite direction, and when business returns to normal, the buyer with a vision, with courage with judg- ment. will be certain of rich financial reMa rdS .,

 Certainly it is always advisable to own ones home Whether it is advis- able to build one just at this time is another question. It is always a more or less delicate question whether one should throw cold water on what may appear to be enterprise on the part of ones fellow citizens. However, looking at this question of building residences from the broad standpoint that whatever really benefits one also benefits all, I am

 mssioners with the exception of MT. Bar Der voted for it.

ADVICE FROM WASHINGTON

City Clerk Lloyd recently received tel egraphic advice from Washington to the effect that the city registration would be handled by the city clerk, being a sep arate and distinct proposition from that of the county, due to the population of Birmingham being in excess of 30,000
 MT. Lloyd has wired the department at Washington of the letter received from Brigadier General Hubbard, and asked for further advices. It is very probable that the city will register all voters in Birmingham. as the advice and instruc tions received from Washington are of ficial and there has been no counter mand of the same received by the mu- nicipal authorities. Blanks and cards for the registration work have already been received by City Clerk Lloyd from the government in Washington, and as soon as instructed he will proceed with the registration, if orders to the contrary are not received He has received about 150 applications for the position of registrar and they continue to come in daily.
