Do You know, said he, that although pneu-
monia is germ disease, it nearly always
follows undue exposure to cold. To DESTROY

duce tho number of cases of infectious dis

bodily resistance of the particular organs in

Pansy blossoms may be used to
beautify the house. Many complain
that their short stems render them
useless for home decoration, but these
probably do not know that ornamental
dishes may be purchased at any first
class crockery store that are intended
especially for pansies. and when filled
with the beautiful blossoms form an
table. These dishes are covered and
the slightly convex cover contains nu-
meruus perforations for the insertion
of the separate blossoms, the bottom
of the dish being filled with water TO
keep the blossoms fresh.
When you come to think of the pan
sizes of many years ago and compare
them with the Imperial German and
Giant Excelsior pansles OF today. the
progress made in pansy culture ia mp
parent, The many colors and varieties
of the modern pansy are Indeed tri-
umph OF Horticulture. And the size!
Why, 1t was not considered possible
years ago to produce such large pam
sizes. a good way to arrange a garden
bed of pansles is to plant seed of one
color, for instance, deep blue or yell
low. Boquets of such blossoms also
look well when arranged in an appro-
PIRATE vase. I will improve this OPP
portunity to say that amateur florists
should show greater discrimination in
the use of vases. One kind of vase is

OFFICERS MEETING TODAY
Much Money Will Be Spent in Birming- ham-Men Ordering Suits of "Cits"

 as Mementoes of Service.

Colonel Higdon has ordered a meeting of all officers of the First Alabama to be held at camp at S:3O o'clock this morning. It is not stated what the object of the meeting is for. h'"
 It is known, however, that a petition is being signed by all the officers of the regi- ment requesting the adjutant-general of the state that when the national guard of Alabama is feorganized that the First re- tain the name organization that it had in the United States army. eNone of the off, cers of the, regiment like 1.-the idea which has been suggested of having the regiment take its old name of Third Alabama. A. N. e. They say the regiment has shown itself to be the first in the state in every respect, and they want to retain that name. It is very probable that-this ques- tion will be discussed in the officers meet ing this morning
 The health of the regiment since the men returned to camp has been remarkably good, and there Is not man in the hos pital at camp except Private Slate, who received the terrible gun-shot wound in his lungs little oves.a month ago. He Is receiving every attention, and is getting along nicely. Private McClung, the soldier who shot him, is very sick at his home in Knoxville, and his relatives have sent a doctors certificate saying that he was un- able to return to Birmingham to be mus tered out.
 All of the men are living on the expecta- tions of the ''big money" which they are to draw next week when they are muster ed out. They will not only receive their pay as soldiers for the month of September and October, but also a large amount which the government allows for clothing and which the soldiers have only partially used up. Each soldier will receive in all between $60 and $SO, according to the fines and losses to be deducted from their pay. A large part of this will be spent in Bir- mingham. One tailor alone already has orders for about one hundred suits of "cits." Most of the men seem to be as anxious to shed their uniforms as possible, though most of them say they will keep them always as. souvenirs of the six months of soldier life spent in Uncle Sam's army.
 All of the tents which the regiment is now using will be shipped to the Rock Island Ill.,, arsenal. When the regiment is reorganized as a national guard, they will draw new tents and equipments.
 }, The surgeons are working rapidly exam ming the men and will probably finish their work tomorrow. The company rolls are all about finished, and are ready for the pay masters to begin work on.
 Two of the government paymasters, IS. Howell and William B. Dwight, accompa- ned by their clerks, w. w. Thrall and Charles A. Dwight, arrived in the city last night, and are at the Florence. They will begin making out the rolls of the regiment today, and they stated last night that the regiment would receive pay up to October
