IS A TREE PRoPERTYf

The truth is, 1t is both property and a permanent improvement, yet right now in Birmingham. many property owners are looking to tenants to spend his own money in pruning ana cleaning up the trees injured by the recent jet storm. Suppose a cyclone were to demolish the house itself, would any sane person expect the tenant to rebuild the house because he happened to have lease on the property. On account of this squab- bling, many valuable trees which could be saved, will go to their ruin. When you look around Birmingham and see the small effort being made to repair the damage done our trees in the recent ice gorge, one is re- minded of the indifference that most folks entertain towards plants and trees. Trees may not have conscious life, but, who knows, they are at least a living representation of the divine order of things which go to make up the universe. Any prop erty owner who has a speck of pride or sympathy for his trees should be willing and glad to assist nature F in their recovery. Nature will do the job in time but it's up to man to act the good physician as exempli- fled by St. Luke, the writer of the Acts and the third gospel.
 LOOKING FOR BARGAINS
 It is innate in everybody to ex- pect and look for bargains and there are real bargains to be had in every line of merchandise but there is limit to what goods can be sold for. There are many buyers of seed at this time of the year who will hunt the city over to save nickel in the purchase of peck of potatoes. They will peddle list of small gar den seed all over town. getting bids on it, to see who will fill 1t the cheapest, without for minute con sidering the quality. The cost of seed is a small item in the resulting crop, but as 1t demands cash out lay of money, the purchaser thinks he is saving something by getting cheap price. He may, of course, save something. but not often is it the case, because it takes money to pro- duce any first-class article or mer- chandise. The impulse to sell IS strong with all merchants and there are merchants who are always look ing for bargains themselves and are not dDout lHO QooAiey S@ the goods they sell.
 It pays to plant good seed, and planters should not haggle over the price when tho cost is such a small factor in the resulting crop.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Q. There is corn called the Pet erson that always averages two long. big ears to the stock. We understand that the breeder ofrthis corn lives in or near Birmingham. Can you put us in touch with him? Last year this corn made twice as much as any other sort: out of seven different varieties. Tell us through The Age-Herald who to write to. P. F., Verbena, Ala.
 A. The breeder of this remarkable prolific corn is one D. l.. Peterson. who is known to the writer, but I don't think he has any seed for sale because United States government agents have secured his output See

THE FRIGHT WEIGHT" ROAD TO GOOD HEALTH
HOW TO REDUCE OR DEVELOP EXPLAINED IN SIMPLE RULES FOR DIET AND EXERCISE. First of New Series of Articles.
 Ry DORIS DOSCHER

Merchandise is measured by the yardstick and we could almost say that good health is measured by the pound, for a deviation from the nor nal weight Is always an indication of deviation from good health as well as beauty.
 As soon as you approach the sub ject of normal weight of men and women you find a diversity of opin- ion. Each race, in fact, has q diff ferent idea as to what is the normal standard of weight. Personally, l consider the female figure has reached the ideal point when the settles are tipped at the correct mum Der of pounds, but not only that, the flesh is so distributed that one has q sense of the fine molding of the bones and the hidden play of the muscles with which just enough fat to cover these so that they are visible only when the body is in action.
 Since the greatest factor in consid- ering the weight of the human body is the bony structure. this must to a certain extent be taken into con- sideration when you weigh yourself. If you are a large framed person, that is, if your bones are heavy, your shoul- ders and hips broad, you will find that you can easily stand 10 to 20 pounds more weight than the above- tabulated rate would give you.
 On the other hand, if you are ex- tremely fine boned and you weigh what the accompanying table indi- cates for your age and height, you might yet look like roly-poly, so you will have to use discretion in de- termining just what would be the ideal weight for you. Either large boned or fine boned frames will have to allow a leeway of a few pounds if they really wish to be at the ideal weight for them.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-03-11

Do not be misled for one instant on this question of weight control. It IS just as dangerous to your health to be overweight as underweight and no one can say that they have hon. estly striven for health and beauty | unless they have made a conscien- tious effort to bring the body to it's | normal weight.
 The slightest illness is bound to take little of our weight, therefore 10 pounds can always be allowed over the normal weight for emergency so to speak. But, alas! this question of weight is not as simple as 1t seems at the first glance. The correct num- Der of pounds, to be sure, you must tally with the above scale for your age and height. but more than that you must distribute this weight on the body proportionately to really have the correct figure.
 Wonderful results can be obtained by applying exercise as we'll as diet. You can ration yourself on a diet that will bring you to normal weight in a very short time, but as I said before this will not distribute your weight evenly even if you have lost the de- sired number of pounds; or even If the case should be reversed and you have taken on quite a few pounds you still find you have not developed as you desired
 cannot too strongly emphasize the fact that 1 do not advocate a speedy reduction or stuffing proc ess, as the object of weight control 1 should be the bringing of the body | nearer to the standards of health and beauty as we'll as the regulating of weight.
 If. therefore, you start on a rapid
 reducing regime and find that you are
 losing your health and your good
 nature, you certainly are not ac-
 complaining anything. The trouble Is
 you did not go at 1t scientifically. l When you reduce in an intelligent
 manner. gradually reducing by scien-
 tiflc exercise and proper diet, you
 will find that you will feel better
 than you have ever felt in your life
 before; and when you do lose all of
 the weight you desire you will have a
 more youthful appearance instead of
 what you so often find a wrinkled
 and shriveled figure that looks older
 and feels older than before the re-
 ducing experiment.
 | The same holds true in gaining
 weight, and once you have taken on
 q few pounds you will find there is
 bound to be great improvement in your health and renewed youthfulness
 to the entire body.

her own work and her PROPOSE
ton to give three Washington

movies. She selects one from
each matinee and evening audi
ence, and at the close of her en-

one at the matinee yesterday. but
there were many close seconds.

Bulgarian pianist and as the i'm.
peccably dressed Herbert Will
liams, himself, uncorked all of
his familiar Turkish bath effects
at Keithis, last night, leaving one
of the best natured audiences we
have ever seen gaSping for an
antidote for wide open pores.
From Soup to Nuts Williams
has titled his offering, conform
ing his text to the expanse of
the lowest brow in the last row
of the gallery. There is no chance
to go wrong on the aims Herbert
is trying to express. for he has
frankly evaded the Shayian style
of nuance, lesson and -innuendo for
bolder and naked effects. For In
stance when he attempts to crush
the skull of his musical director
with a baseball bat, irreparably
damaging the bat, it is plain to
be seen he is registering un-
friendliness for the leaden-skulled
baton swinger. One also is put
to no great amount OF guessing
in identifying as a nocturne his
efforts at the collapgible piano,
from the innards of which q
dirty gray tom cat energies in
great fright and gusto. Assisting
this funniest man in vaudeville
in his comedic nightmare are
Hilda Wolfus, angular, cookbook
ing and no small funster herself;
a Spartan musical director whose
skull Is trepanned six times daily
by the affectionate williams; q
valet de chambre with Gladstone
whiskers and assorted dogs, cats
and other articles Of first aid to
the buffoon.
Altogether it is gala week at
