 DO women read The Age-Her- ald?"
 We'll I'll just say yes. If you don't believe it, you ought to stand on the corner each morn ing and see the business women go by with it under their arms.
 And down where, they work we'll, in the lounging ! rooms sometimes there's one on almost every chair. There are so many interesting things in it, and really educative things"
 These were the views ex- pressed yesterday by Mrs. Edith l.. Anderson, who said she had become a regular subscriber be- cause she found so much in it's pages.
 My morning paper gives me pleasant and profitable hour be- four my days work begins"
 Mrs. Anderson. besides being a very busy woman who works every day. is very clever one, and has the distinction of having been a leader for woman's suf- ii GS pCiOlS IL as Inally na- tional. She was in one of the last suffrage parades and TO. ceived congratulations from Gov ernor IIowden on her way of taking charge of the Illinois car, She had supervision of big pre-. cinct in Illinois during the last presidential election which boiled 5000 women's votes, the precinct being carried by big majority.
 T read The Age Herald be- cause l always find the best of news in the paper,' she said, 'and I find so much fun and so many things to interest women. There is very little foolishness about the news: it is all to the point and people don't have to spend half the day reading noth- ing. Then besides, it's fair paper. and it gives both sides of question. and women like fair play. know a. great many women in this town. and they say they wouldn't be without it for anything"

.DR. BARRETT WILL |. NOT ENTER DEBATE
Campaign Manager Gives
 Reasons for Destination to Speak at Wilson Park

pr. N. A. Barrett will not take part in debate between candidates for the presidency of the city commits sion, according to the terms of a letter written to Paoli Smith, secre- tary of the Junior Chamber of Com merce, In reply to an invitation to speak at Woodrow Wilson park on Tuesday night. September s, Hunter Armstrong. campaign manager for pr. Barrett, answered MT. Smiths letter.
 In his reply, Mir. Armstrong stated he regretted that it was not conver- tent for Dr. Barrett to be present at the debate. He said strenuous campaign had been planned and that he felt 1t was not wise to interfere with these plans.
 Then, too. he went on, there are more than two weeks left in which candidates may qualify. The make- up of the contesting lists for the presidents job is not yet certain, and a debate before the lists are closed is not hardly proper, MT. Armstrong stated
 Dr. Barrett's failure to accept the invitation to attend and take part in the debate is believed to have col lapsed the entire programme for Tuesday night. The other candidates have expressed themselves as being unwilling to speak unless Dr. Barrett is present.
 It is understood that Mir. Broylc< would like to get Mir. Burruss on x, stump in joint debate, however, since the incident of last week when Mr. Burruss ignored Mir. Broyles in is- suing a challenge to debate to Dr. Barrett and D. F.. McLendon, the other two candidates for the presi : dency

of illegally dealing Tn narcotlc dfug
 The members of the grand jury expressed surprise that the Harri- son drug act was being so commonly violated, and in addition to making the above suggestion to the legssla- ture of Alabama, they recommended that the federal government detail special man in Birmingham to en- force the law.
 The grand jury investigated 4S cases. and returned 32 indictments, 12 no bills, and continued cases.
 Concerning the violation of the drug law the report is as follows:
 Grnnd Judy Report "The grand Jury. most or whom have been unfamiliar with the wide spread sale and distribution of nar- cotic drugs in Alabama, are amazed at the growth of bootlegging these drugs.
 From testimony brought before us. there appears to be gangs of mel and women engaged in this traffic, but the most vexations and pernt- cious feature of this narcotic selling seems to lie in the fact that drug gists and physicians are violating the federal laws governing the sales of these drugs. with greatest impu- nity. Instances came before the jury which, to the mind of the body, can not be cured either by fines or penal servitude.
 Realizing the gravity of the sft- uation, the grand jury takes the lib- erty of suggesting and recommend ing to your honor, and to the next Alabama legislative assembly, that 1t would be we'll to pass a rigid local state law depriving each and every physician and druggist convicted of violating the provisions of the Harri- son narcotic law of the right to practice their profession and calling in the state of Alabama.
 Tn this same connection. we would recommend most strongly that the commissioner of internal revenue should place competent and able

narcotic inspector in Alabama, with headquarters in Birmingham
 The inspectors who have been en- gagged in this work in Alabama have done wonderful work in checking the growth of this pernicious prac- tice, but we are convinced that this law canont be adequately enforced b. an inspector coming to Birmingham and working in this vicinity a few days, only to be, called to some other vicinity and we would, therefore, suggest that an inspector be detailed to work in Birmingham permanently. as we think there Is sufficient work here to keep him busy for several months"
 The report IS signed by A. T. Simons, foreman, and calls attention to the efficient assistance given the jurors in Investigating the cases by Jim c. Smith, assistant district at torney.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS :.

ed for dry than wet sections, and as q topdressing is of great benefit to corn crops that have suffered from late. wet spring.
 Of the phosphate manure superphos- phate of lime is chief and most important of all the artifcials. It gradually chang es its character from water soluble to water-iusolub1e, and therefore is not washed out of the soil by heavy rain and is of great advantage for fall and spring sowing. It is of especial benefit, ito turnips. .swedes and other plants of the cabbage family. The ueual dressing is two hundredweight to five hundredweight per acre.
 The more usual potash fertilizers are kainit, muriate of potash and sulphate of potash. together with potash salts" of varying percentages, and btast furnace fue dust
 The delative qualities ot e ah ma nure to be applied will depend main lv on the percentage of potash, though there may he reasons for prefering one 1 form of potash to another Sulphate of ntash is three and one-half times as rich in potash as llafnit. and therafe~7 three and one-half hundredweieh ~ 1 kainit would need to be used in place oi one hundredweight of sulphate of potash and. conversely. where one hundred weight of kainit is required. only 59 1 pounds of sulphate would be needed.

TEE OF ARTIFICIAL MANUREs.

There may be serious damage as well ss loss esrsed by an improper choice of IT snurss or an untimely application of even the right manure Manure may bc .'zssed under three heads: Stable ma -ure- green manure and artificial manue.
 Arrircisl manure includes such arti- f-izl fertilizers as superphosphatcs, made rv mixing ground phosphate rock and =e.d Also such natural products as kain.t. ouarred from potash mines. An o--s7ie natural manure improves 'he --= soil i1 rVo wa-z. The vegetable -esues alters the texture of the soil and --zkss ft more suitable for the roots or rsrt7 This organic matter also restores s- the soil the ingredients which plants remove during their growth.
 Tn order of importance, nitrogen leads, Followed by phosphorus. potassium and Ca iciunl. The most popular nitrogen ma rure- are zuIpha-e of ammonia and ni- e-zta os soda Generally sulphate and nl- s-onis is applied at the rate of hun ,redweizht per acre. given at seed time, r- in the case of grass for hay, about rt-ee weeks before active growth starts. As it is easily soluble in water it is carried into the sonl and retained near Che surface Gradually it changes in- Co nitrate and in this form Is taken up by the plant.
 Sulphate Of ammonia is very suitable for wet secu -ns Nitrate of soda IS ~-t as rich as sulnhate of ammonia, but c. rossesses certain qualities of special value.

PROVIDING FOOD FOR BEES DUR
 IN WINTER

Lack of sufficient food may be the cause for colonies of bees failing to sur vive the winter or for their being much weakened. It is good practive to make sure at this time that they have enough store of food to keep them through in good shape. An easy test of this is to weigh the hives.
 10-frame hive with the bees and the store of honey in it should weigh at least 7s pounds. If it weighs less than this it is an indication that the store of food for the winter is short Feeding should be resorted to now rath- CT than later, an amount of food being provided equal to the difference between the actual weight of the hive and the 75 pounds which it should weigh.
 The best food is thick syrup made from granulated or brown sugar at the rate of 2K pounds of sugar to each pint of water. This should be placed in a tin pan inside an empty super and a cover placed over all. Without this artificial feeding many swar1ns may sui fer. Feeding and proper winter protec- ton are good insurance.
