Peoples Messenger: The city of
Glasgow. Scotland. celebrated the New
Mar with Rejoicing over the fact that
from now on they have no taxes 10
pay The public ownership of the
natural mOnOpolies. such as the water
supply. the lighting of streets and
houses. the disposal OF sewage. the
street ear service. etc. have brought
into the city treasury so great a reye-
nue. that there is no longer need OF
property tax At the same time the
charges for gas. electricity. water and
car fare have been reduced much below
those in vogue in the days OF exclusive
private ownership The people Of Amer

The above appears a. an editorial in

Glasgow has demonstrated that munict-

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

We know of no better remedy, to cure

Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given en-
tire satisfaction.-Oolaga Ind. Ter.

This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive of
pneumonia. Among the many thou
sands who have used it for colds and la
grippe we have never yet learned of a

DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY.
Growth Of This Organization and
Something of It's Work.

There is no more popular organization
In Richmond among the ladies than the
Daughters Of the Confederacy, and none
more deservedly so. Although 1t Is but
little more than year old, 1t numbers $50
members and is almost constantly re-
ceiving additions. Being the youngest in
the family of five Confederate societies.
there seemed little prospect that the fifth
one would develop and grow strong. IL
has already given lie raison d'etre. and
is full of enthusiasm as to its future. The
objection that usually obtains with refer
ences to societies is minimized here. It's
meetings are few, and its dues are small
1t makes little requisition on ones time
or purse, both of which are strong points
and worthy of consideration. The chief
work of the society Is the Milling up the
application blanks in the name OF father,
brother, husband, or son, or woman now
living Tor her direct descendanU, who
gave personal aid to the Confederate
cause. The president of the Richmond
chapter, Mrs. Norman n. Randolph, says
in her annual report. recently presented
to the annual meeting In Alexandra. That
these blanks must bear the name OF COM
pany or regiment to which the soldier
belonged, and be also endorsed by some
veteran, stating his company ana regl-
ment. They are then signed by president
and secretary OF the chapter. filed In a
book, and placed in the Confederate
Museum. to remain a record for all time
of gallant men and gallant deeds.
This Is a work that has its limitations.
Those who join now are among the char
ter members-they are mostly just one
remove from the soldiers who took part
In tie war. and II Is an honor to register
ones names so early in its history.
There seems some doubt In the minds
of persons as to the conditions of mem
bership. All persons may be recorded
by a daughter, sister, or mother who has
served In any capacity In the army, re-
ceiving pay from the Confederate Gov
eminent. This includes Commissary De-
partment. medical. as well as the field.
All branches OF tho service are the same,
and each Is necessary to Its existence.
1t Is intended to keep perfect roster
of all Confederate soldiers. through rela-
tiyes who may report them. Something
Of the value OF such an organization may
be inferred from the eagerness with which
persons continually search the records TO
ascertain whether or not certain OF their
war or not. II does not seem to US TO
be q matter Of 30 much moment now
whether our relatives were Confederate
soldiers or not. but q hundred years hence
the records will be made to give up It's
secrets. The president suggests that
some incident be recorded that may do
honor to the men. The dues for the so
there are no assessments. The SIS was
given by the society to the Solid-South
Room. This year they will Pay the ex-
penses OF an old soldier at the home. the
annual appropriation being exhausted.
