NINE NEW BRIGADIERs.
Eight of Them Will Retire After
 Being Confirmed.

Washington Special to Baltimore Sun.
 In accordance with the recommendations oi Secretary of War Root. the President today nominated nine colonels. all of whom served in tho Civil War, to be brigader- generals Each of these. with the exception of Colonel Francis Moore. of the Eleventh Cavalry, will retire as soon his promotion is confirmed and the vacancy thus created will be filled by the appointment of one of the other coonels.
 Colonel James P. Farley, of the Ordnance Department. will be the first appointed. He will be followed in the order given by Colonel Morris C. Foote, 29th iEfantry: Lieutenant- Colonel George W. Baird. Pay Department; Colonel Samuel W. Mansfield, Corps of En- gineers; Colonel Fully McCrea, Artillery Corps John v. Furey. Assistant Quartermaster- Gen eral. and Colonel Francis Moore. who will be permanently appointed and assigned to duty in the Philippines.
 The Presidents policy of rewarding officers of the army who have irreproachable records, and who have been In the army for 40 years or longe is exemplified by these nominations. Each of the officers selected served with dis tinction in the Civil War, and many of them saw service in the Cuban, Porto Rican or Philippine campaigns. bill is now pending before Congress providing that all officers of the army who served in the Civil War and have had at least 40 years creditable service when retired, be retired with the grade next higher to that held by them at the date of their retirement; and that all officers now on the retired list who had such service be ad- vanced to the next higher grade. This bill will affect only those officers holding rank below that O fma jor-general. Although the War De- partment has been assured that this bill will pass during the present session. rather than run any risk Secretary Root has recommended that the officers whose names are given above be rewarded with the advanced rank imme- diately. As they will have already benefited by getting advanced rank for their Civn War services the passage of the bill will not affect them in any manner. This is provided for in the bill

Pecans Grafted on Hickory.

The Charleston. s. C., News and Cour- Ter calls attention to the fact that in Chester County. in its State. they are grating oceans on hickory sprouts. Such gratis grow at the rate of five feet a year. while seedlings grow very slowly. It is believed that such gratis will be- gin to bear in four years. while seedling oceans would consume twice that time In getting to productiveness. Nor is this all. Seeding oceans are subject to at tacks of "borers." while 1t is assumed that hickory sticks would be proof against such attacks. Alabama is full of hickory sprouts, and if these sprouts can be turned into pecan trees, new source of income will soon become avail able. Two old pecan trees in Virginia are considered worth $1.0o0 apiece, simp- ly because they each yield annually the income of that sum.

THE TWELFTH CON-
 TINENTAL CONGRESS
Daughters of the American Revo luton Convenes Feb. 23, 1908.

For several reasons the 18th D. A. k. Congress promises to be one of the most important in the history of the patriotic Society. The election of the President General has always been an exciting and interesting feature and great interest will attach to 1t again this year. The con- sideration of amendments will come up early at the first session, being set for 10 a. m., February 3. If the amend ment, allowing Mrs. Fairbanks to stand for reelection, passes, 1t will go into effect at this Congress and she will prove a formidable opponent to any other wo- man who aspires to be President-Gener- al. It Is said to be her fond wish and ambition to see all the money for Con- tinental Hall fund in hand-the plans completed and the white marble monu- ment to our Revolutionary ancestors in process of building, during her adminis- tration. Now that the site is paid for and a good sum is still in the National Treasury, the Daughters feel that the realization of their hopes is nearer at hand and some, who have feared 1t might never "come in their day." now expect to see Continental Hall completed. One of the events of the Congress will be the raising, on the site, Seventeenth and D Streets, the flag which has been presented by the Sons of the American Revolution of the District of Columbia, to the Ma tional Society Daughters of the Amer lean Revolutions; this will occur at 4 p. m., February g. when the Congress will take a recess. It seems that the recently purchased lot Is not now considered large enough for the building, and a meeting of Continental Hall Committee has been called February 20th, to consider the pur- chase of additional ground adjoining the present site on the west. The building has been in contemplation several years and the most practical and sensible wo- men in the Society have considered the matter in every particular. and it Is fond ly hoped that no mistake as to location, size of lot, architecture of building will be made. but that Continental Hall will be a perfect work of mans labor and skill and a worthy monument of all the Daughters to all the Revolutionary pa triots who achieved American Independ-

recreation. To protect and guard and keep them for the enjoyment of all Is not only a duty. but a commercial ne- cessity. The revenue derived by these States from these resources is greater than that of their manufacturing indus- tries.
 New Hampshire has probably more for est land than any other Eastern State in proportion to its area Maine has large game in greater quantity than any other. The Society for the Protection of For ests which met at Concord the other day, urged upon the Legislature a liberal policy in this respect. At Augusta on Wednesday a committee of the Leglsla- ture heard petitioners for better and more effective regulation of the taking of game in the State of Maine. The movement Is one that must command re- cognition by the law making power. It concerns a vital interest of the commu- nity.

 The guests were then invited into the dining room where a long table was spread. bountifully decorated with red and white carnations. and silver cande- labra. bearing red. white and blue can dies. A delicious salad course was serv- ed, followed by ices carrying out the national colors. The place cards bore the Wharton coat of arms. Upon each was written an appropriate quotation. The entertainment was indeed one of rare grace and beauty.

herr von Sternburg was ordered to take charge of the diplomatic business of his country at Washington, again the news dispatches said this manifested desire on the part of Germany to maintain the closest relations with the United States. Undoubtedly the fact that both gentlemen had brilliant American wives had due weight in the making of the appoint ments With the influence their high position gives them, Lady Herbert and Freiherrin won Sternburg have 1t in their power, strictly in the line of their social role. to contribute quite as much as their distinguished husbands to the harmony and friendship of Germany and Great too, is Martha Hoy. daughter of Paymaster Hoy, United States Navy, married only last month to MT. Pierre Rogestventsky, Secretary of the Russian Embassy at Washington.
 What high foreign officials would do if America did not furnish them with wives l don't know. There is Lord Cur zon of India. His administration gains most of it's social luster from his Amer ican wife. There is Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, Colonial Secretary of Great Britain, whose wife was Miss Endicott of Massachusetts. She is too exclusive to make much of herself socially, but that style suits her husband, who pro- fesses himself an admirer of America for her sake.
 "Oh, yes, and there is Prince Cantacu- gene, the Russian who married Miss Grant, granddaughter of General Grant. He, too. is high in his countrys diplo- matic service
 'I had no idea there were so many" said the woman. But now 1 must go and make over that skirt. I got 1t at a bargain sale two weeks ago, and already the fashion has changed, and skirts are fuller about the waist"
 Huh" grunted the man. "I think you'd better let the old skirts go and read the newspapers for yourself so you will know something. You can't have me with you always" Lillian Gray.

 Two suicides of an unusual character were inquired into at Westminster by Coroner Troutbeck. In both cases the act of self-de- struction was committed surreptltiously in bed by stabbing.
 While in Kings College Hospital on Sun day morning awaiting an operation, oJseph Green. aged 56, butcher lately residing at 4S Prince Street. Deptford. was seen by an- other patient-a lad named Amey-to be act Ing strangely. Amey noticed a movement un- der the bed clothes as if Green was stabbiuR himself in the stomach. This went on for nearl yten minutes. Greens face bore an agonized look, but he did not groan. He sub sequently pulled the clothes un level with hia eyes. and seemed to be injuring his face

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient dlsinfect- ant and purifier in nature. but few real ize its value when tnNen into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t is not a drug at all but simply absorbs the gases and im- purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic
 It absorbs the injurious gases which col lect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disin- fects the mouth and throat from the poi son of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money is in stuart's Absorbent Lczenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant-tasting lozenges; the char coal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health. better complexion. sweet CT breath and purer blood. and the beau- ty Of 1t is, that no possible harm can re- suit from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit
