MUSCLE SHOALS PROPERTY
 CONDEMN ALTON BILL PASSES

Washington April 4.-tSpecial0 The so-called Muscle Shoals condemna- ton bill was put through the House this afternoon by Representative Dent. chairman of the military committee, by unanimous vote. This bill gives the government the right to take pos session of any territory that it may need for the construction of its vari- ous projects in the vicinity of Shet- field. Tuscumbia and Florence. The government will simply take posses sion under the terms of the bill and owners if dissatisfied with moneys of- fered by the government will have re- course only to the federal court of ap- peals.
 Senator Underwood introduced the bill in the Senate some weeks ago and it was passed without dissenting vote Representative Dent had equal success this afternoon. The measure was regarded as necessary on account of few property owners holding out for money in excess of sums the gov ernment thought adequate.
 Representative Almon was instru- mental in bringing the attention of the House to the necessity for the bill.

"The Bird of Paradise

According to the habitues of Cabaret Land, that Hawaiian stuff has been badly overdone and ''The Bird of Para djse," having come to us late, nns lost much of the novelty which it pes scssed when first presented on the stage.
 However. the play is rich in Hawal- ian atmosphere It breathes the lan-
 guor of that tropic land and portrays
 in a graphic way the customs, super
 stittons and primitive ideas of the na-
 tives who are now rapidly disappear
 ins Most of the Hawaiians seem to
 have come to America and entered
 vaudeville, anyway, bringing their
 ukuleles with them.
 Richard Walton Tully's drama of the
 Pacific tells the familiar story of the
 love of native girl, princess or inc blood. for a worthless American who yields to the seduction of Hawaii and contrives to make a mess of his life, without bringing IastinT happi- nesssto to the girl, who goes bask to her reopIe and leaps into volcano--a most realistic stage volcano, with rllddy flames leaping and real steam rising from it's cauldron-to appease d vengeful god.
 There was d leHucHCy III tHC PSA- formance to drag at times, but 1t was nevertheless interesting and large company aided in making the native rites wierdly impressive. The haunt ing strains of Hawaiian music and the signing ukuleles helped to create an illusion that at times was quite realistic. Miss Celeste Scudder as Luann played the principal role :, well, all | though her performance Ms uneven. | Slle would occasionally overact, as would several other members of the company In expressing the guileless !unsophistication of a native girl in her 1 lightest moments she was at her best. John Warner, as Dr. Wilson, Luana' s American husband, gave creditable | portrayal of a man going 10 the dogs l and by far the best bit of character ! work was done by John Waller as l beach comber, who raises himself from l the depths of degradation. Miss Min | nie Wilson as Luana's foster mother; 1 John Milton who was Captain Hatch; i; l Royal Thayer, as the missionary; Miss Helen Carew, as Diana Larned; John | Gribner, as Hoheno; and Taylor Car
 roll as priest of Pele, were the oth- CT principals in a large cast.

with the Plant Juice Man, who has his headquarters at Norton's drug store, cor ner Second avenue and Twentieth street, in Birmingham, where he is introducing his medicine. Continuing, he said:
 q have been in the contracting busi- ness for years and am vel known throughout the south, and my friends know how much I have suffered from my kidneys, and my bladder was also affected This condition had existed for the past 10 years and I was unable to get any relief from the many different medicines I had used. Finally, upon the advice of a friend, I begun to take Plant Juice and am happy to state that the results have been very wonderful My feet no longer smart and burn as 1t has restored my circulation; I sleep well at night and I am now feeling like a new man. I unhesitatingly indorse and recommend Plant Juice to any one suf- fering as I did"
 Many such statements as the above are being made daily by the best men and women in Birmingham and in various cities where Plant Juice has been in- troduced, who have been restored to health by it's use and voluntarily tell of their relief in the hope that others may be aided and helped back to health. Plant Juice has been taken by hum dreds of Birmingham people, many of whom are testifying to the beneficial re- suits they have derived from it's use for the treatment of stomach, liver and kid ney trouble.
 The symptoms of stomach trouble are many and varied. In Iact, any one of the following may indlcate deranged stomach: Indigestion, dyspepsia, consti- patton, coated tongue. bad breath. head ache. backache spots before the eyes, costiveness, cold feet or that ''tired-out,' all 'run-down feeling.

All Passenger Trains May Use Terminal
 Station in Future

Rumors are current in Birmingham tLat the railway systems of this cisy are to be consolidated. in so far as 4 station is concerned. and that all pas senger trains are in the near future to arrive and depart from the Terminal station on Fifth avenue as war measure to aid transportation.
 Should this action be taken 1t IS estimated that great saving could be effected. and that better servlce would result over the several roads At present the two stations are To- cated approximately three-quarters oI a mile apart, and no little delay and inconvenience is caused many passeil- gers who are compelled to make ebange of roads at this point.

within the next few months. This means that the treasury has received this amount to cover running ex- penses, but will have to repay it soon cut of receipts from taxes due in June ard from the third Liberty Loan.
 Financial experts of the government calculate that the war has cost in dclIars even more than the formal treasury figures show, on account of increased expenditures of many state and local governments under war con ditions. They do not venture to esti- mate the aggregate of these expenses, however. On the other hand, the war has resulted in innumerable economies, public, private and personal, enforced partly by rising costs and partly by organized economy movements.

 There are a number of other minor receipts and expenditures, but they do not materially affect the condition of the public coffer. Outlays for re- demption of certificates of indebted ness. although appearing large on pa- per, actually mean little to the gov- ernment in the long run, since the certificates represent short time loans public borrowing which are repaid within three months.

United States food administration:
at becomes increasingly apparent
with each day of the great conflict
in which our nation is engaged, that
it is not alone one of arms, but also
war of foods. Our national duty
lies first in fulfilling the promises
made to the allies to supply them
With food necessary to keep their
fighting forces to the highest point
Of. efficiency and their civil popuIa-

1--WE have fallen far behind in
our shipments OF food to Europe,
particularly wheat. Our supply
OF wheat is not sufficient to meet
the ordinary consumption or the
allies, our own armies and our ciyn
population
In order that the minimum aaSoa
sary requirements of wheat may be
saved for shipment, it becomes the
distinct duty of every citizen to re-
duce his consumption Of all products
of wheat and to increase it on those
foods Of which there is a plentiful
supply,
