MONEY FOR SOLDIERS
S23, ,366 SET ASIDE BY COVER MENT FOR ALABAMA TROOPS.
This Does Not Include the Cost of Rifles With Which the Guard is
 to Be Supplied.

Adjutant General W. W. Brandon of the Alabama National Guard yesterday received notice from the Secretary of War that $23, ,366 had been provisionally set aside as Alabama's share of the an nual equipment fund of the National Guard for 1903
 The Federal government through the Dick bill annually appropriates $2,00O. 900 for equipment. This fund is divided pro- portionately among the States of the Un- ion, each State receiving it's share accord ing to the number of men enrolled in its National Guard. Alabama last year re- ceived about $23, 900 under the first act af- fecting the National Guard passed by Congress after the Spanish-American war.
 The amounts received by Alabama and by the other States for the past two years are much larger than the Federal govern ment allowed for equipment before the Spanish-American war. The Dick act which was approved last March supersed- ed the National Guard law passed two years ago. Under the Dick act, however, the $2,000.0OO appropriation for equipment was continued. The War Department with the assistance of Congress proposes to furnish equipment to the National Guard until 1t is as well supplied as the regular army.
 In fact 1t is said the War College esti- mates that in four or five years the Ma tional Guard will attain the regular army standard.
 The $23 366 which has been set aside for the Alabama National Guard, it Is said, does not include the cost of KragJorgen- sen rifles which will shortly be supplied. The cost of the Krag-Jorgensen rifles will not come out of the equipment fund.
 The government will take in the Spring field rifles with which the Alabama Ma tional Guard is equipped. supplying Krag Gorgensens in their stead.

 Rev. pr. Collins Denny of the Wander bilt. Nashville, delivered the baccalau- reate sermon. For his text he took the 2Sd verse of the eighth chapter of St. John: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" The speakers discourse was deep. forceful. argumentative and scientific and was di- yided In three parts-truth, knowledge and freedom.
 A large crowd gave profound attention to Dr. Denny throughout
 The musical program was beautifully rendered by the Methodist choir, ably as- sisted by Prof. Burt Richardson of the University of Chicago and led by Mrs. artistic numbers were: Sing Unto the Lord" by Walter O. Wilkinson, and Holy. Holy Is the Lord" F. c. Golb.
 At the S:30 p. m. service in the Meth odist Church, Rev. J. H. Mccoy preached to the Y. M. c. A. The church was full to overfowing. indeed the number of commencement visitors Is almost unpre- cedented and there is scarcely a house in Greensboro without guests. Mir. Mccoy took his text from John iil:s: "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hear est the sound thereof. but canst not tell whence 1t cometh, and whither 1t goeth: so is every one that is born of the spirit
 MT. Mccoy dwelt especially and most interestingly on the mysteriousness of God. The selections by the choir were fine: Blessed Be the Lord" by William Luton Wood; "Slng Alleluia Forth" by F. A. Schneider, and While Shepherds watched Their Flocks," by Charles A. E. Harriss.

Arbaces, to enter tain and dazzle the fair and proud lone, with whom he is desperately in love. Costumed in hundred of yards of flaming silk. eight handsome Pompeiian girls execute the graceful and sensuous move ments of this ballet. completely envel- oped in circles of fire. The dance has proved a great sensation, and is perform ed by eight pretty English girls whom Manager Pain has brought from his great Crystal Palace spectacles in Lon don. Another attractive dance is the Gl eceo- Roman ballet, by a corps of beau tfful Greek slaves. All these dances, as we'll as the entire spectacle is costumed In manner that will prove revelation to the beholders. No expense has been spared in any department of this huge ihSht cAulDltiOn, ana the new Pompefi will be easily the most preten- tious travelling amusement attraction this section of the country has ever seen.

HERE'S A WAY TO SAVE DOCTOR
 BILLS.
Physicians Give Free Advice by
 Which Parents May Profit.


 It's a matter of general interest just now how ones physical condition can be got into shape to best receive the benefits of the summer season. Especially Is this true of the children. They have become run down by a winter of unnatural man. ner of living because of ill-considered food and much time spent indoors Spring comes with its sunshine, Its fresh vegeta- bles and all else invigorating. but the children are in no condition to receive natures remedies.
 [ Many parents call in the family physi- can. Many other parents take advant- age of what the physician told them when he was first called in consultation. All good family physicians say: Give the children Castoria.' Healthy parents know this remedy of old, for they took 1t themselves as children. It was more made place for itself in the household It bore the signature of Charles H. Fletcher than. as it does today. The signature is its guarantee, which is &C., cepted in thousands of homes where there are children.
 Much is printed nowadays about big families. Dr. William I. McCann, of Omaha, Neb., is the father of one of these much-read-about families. Here Is what he says:
 "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine. and aside from my own family experience have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and ehcient remedy in almost every home"
 Charles H. Fletcher has received hun dreds of letters from prominent physi- clans who have the same esteem for Cas- toria that Dr. McCann has. Not only do these physicians say they use Castoria in their own families but they prescribe 1t for their clients First of all it is a vegetable preparation which assimilates the food and regulates the stomach and bowels. After eating comes sleeping, and Castoria looks out for that too It allays feverishness and prevents loss of sleep and this absolutely without the use of opium, morphine or other baneful mar cotic
 Medical journals are reluctant to dis cuss proprietary medicines. Halls Jour- nal of Health. however, says, Our duty is to expose danger and record the means Tor advancing health. The day for poi- soning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health by regu- lating the system. not by stupefying fl. and our readers are entitled to the in. .-adv
