That hedge is the chief object of interest to the driving public of Montgomery just now when 1t is in full bloom and its mvriads of blossoms may be seen at distance.
 Entering the grounds by the broad gate that opens at the side and from which the graveled driveway extends to the port cochere such wealth of oral beauty and growth of trees, vines. shrubs and all manner of vegetation bursts upon the vision as to be bewildering. There are splendid Marechal Niels profuse bloom. Great bank like blooming park rose bushes. Yellow roses and white roses on vines that stand up and out on frames and look like miniature mountains of blossoms. There are pecan trees and near trees giving such promise in their swelling blossoms and infant fruit In every nook and corner of this place as if placed by an artist hand stands some stroke of beauty where -snan ana nature have worked together to produce beauti- ful result.

MRS. LEWIS TO RESPOND
 TO ADDRESS OF WELCOME.

Mrs. Rose Garland Lewis of Birming- ham yesterday accepted the invitation to respond to the address of welcome at the approaching convention of the Alabama Division Daughters of the Confederacy, which meets May 13 in Demopolis.
 Mrs. A. l.. Dowdell. the president of the Alabama Division, could not have selected a woman better suited than is Mrs. Lewis to voice the sentiments of the Daughters on the occasion of their annual convention. She is one of the most prominent Daughters in the State. and the members of Pelham Chapter, with which she is so we'll identified. feel that the compliment has been most worthily bestowed and the Alabama Daughters could not find a more loyal and devoted Daughter to respond in their behalf to the cordial greeting of the Demopolis hters.-Birmngham Age Herald.

during the coming year will be chiefly the study of food values, and presenta- ton of the results of this study to the club
 Some of Us arc just beginning to learn why i've are a nation of dyspeptics.' Many of our womens clubs are putting good food plank in their platforms. We are learning that when our boys and girls grow pale and aenemlc. if is not from over-study. but from under feeding. Dr. Francis Parker, an educator of wide ex- perience says that cases of over-study are rare. When our girls munch many sweets and our boys spend all their pock- ct money for cream tarts, destroying an appetite for wholesome food. we should not wonder that the brain is inactive and the body listless.
 So the Mothers Union is going to de- vote much time, with serious intent. to the study of foods. One lesson we have learned: In the threefold nature of man, if the physical is weak and poor, the mental and spiritual will not reach their full development. Another lesson we have learned is that our physical well-being depends upon the food we eat. the water We drink and the air we breathe. Now, we will turn our attention seriously to the kinds of food required for different ages. conditions and climes.
 We intend to learn great deal about muscle building and bone and brain-build- ing. We will use glibly, and quite intelli- gently, long words such as nitrogenousf carbohydrates, phosphates, etc.. and. best of all. we will league together to bring our knowledge into practical use
 Some of the members of our club are interested in The Advertiser contest for the beautifying of the yards of dwelling houses. Montgomery owes The Advertiser a debt of gratitude for arousing many of Its citizens, old and young, to an emula- ton in amateur gardening thus cultivat- ing taste and a love of flowers, while giv- Ing an added beauty and fragrance to our fair city. This is well, but the poet tells us we must not stop at the front yards of our homes, but
 Plant flowers in the souls front yard.
 Set out new shade and blossom trees, An let the soul, once froze an hard.
 Sprout crocuses of new idees.
 Yes clean yer house, an clean yer shed.
 An clean yer barn in ey'ry part: But brush the cobwebs from yer head,
 An sweep the snowbanks from yer
 heart!
 and learn that good food. properly cooked and discriminatory used is the founda- tion of human happiness and that human happiness Is the ultimate aim. of man. 1 kind r C. c.

Better dwell upon what the relics represent than upon the relics themselves, some of which are truly genuine: and we all know many are not genuine.
 'I have never yet heard nor seen Jew speak disrespectful of anything that we honor, or do in commemoration of Christ. The skeptics are always Chris tions. Witticisms cannot carry any mirth with them when they become sacriligious. Going from the south of Italy to the north, is not a remnant or vestfge Of anything to be seen that would make one believe they have ever had govern ment fit to govern Gods people. Think of the Government mapped out for us by Thomas Jefferson when he said Let us have a government founded upon the in- telligence of the people, etc. Have we attained such a government? An, that is an open question, too momentous for woman to answer. Granting we have not attained the perfection of that gov- ernment mapped out by Jefferson, we are banded together, under one lag, which waves over the grandest government for the greatest people upon the face of the earth today"
 Other interesting topics dwelt upon by Mrs. Downs were: The bank of St. George at Genoa. the oldest bank in the world-older than the Bank of England. . She read copy of letter written by Columbus in 1902. the original of which is in a palace in Genoa.
 And she told at length of private au- dience with the Pope which was granted her through the influence of Cardinal Satoli, whom she knew in America.

The Choice of the City Primarie s
 Yesterday.

The Republican primaries were con ducted yesterday quietly but with good deal of enthusiasm, especially in the first and second wards, where the caucus tickets were contested.

The contest was successful in the second ward, but failed in the first. In the third and fourth wards there was no opposition to the caucus tickets. There was very good vote boiled in all the wards.
 The delegates from the city are as follows:

 Mrs. Fannie Hall of Orleans, N Y, was an invalid for over ten years, hard ly able to drag herself around the house and nothing she ate seemed to nour- ish her. She had chronic diarrhoea, her food did not digest and she was so ner- vous she could not bear the least noise or excitement.
 She writes, About a year ago I was looking over paper when the name of Grape-Nuts caught my eye and I de- termined to try them. I sent for package and ] have never been without them since; they seem to be the thig I need.
 When l commenced eating Grape Nuts I weighed 115 lbs. and now weigh 145 lbs. and am well and do my own work.
 My children think they cannot get along without them and I use pack age day.
 The whole family eat them for des sert with cream, in preference to any thing else. When l go away I always take a package with me as no other food agrees with me as we'll I always call Grape-Nuts the lucky food as I think I owe my life to them"
