TO HAVE NEW BADGES CAMP LoMAx ADOPTED DESIGNS
 LAST NIGHT. Confederate Veterans Transacted Routine Business at Their Re- gular Monthly Meeting
 Description of the New
 Designs.

A resolution was adopted at the regu- lar monthly meeting of Camp Lomax, United Confederate Veterans. last night, providing for a new badge for the camp to be worn on both mourning and festive occasions.
 The resolution was offered by Gen. John w. A. Sanford. and was adopted unanimously A design of the badge was submitted to the members of the camp and they agreed that 1t was hand some and significant emblem of the ob- jects of the Confederate veterans.
 The badge hangs from gilded pin, on the center of which is printed Ala bama" in black letters. On 8 pendant of trimmed celuloid is handsomely engraved the flag of the Confederacy with 'U. c. V. lss1-65' inscribed thereon. Below this pendant in gold lettering is printed Camp Lomax 151. U. c. v., Montgom- cry, Alabama" This entire side is of red silk.
 On the opposite side, which can be re- versed for mourning occasions is print ed on black silk "In Memoriam." in the center of a silver wreath "U. c. V.," and the name and number of the camp.
 The meeting was presided over by Lieutenant Commander c. A. Lanier in the absence of Commander J. B. Fuller. Routine camp business was transacted, after which Chaplain George E. Brewer dismissed the camp with short prayer.

SAVE r1ME-sHoRTEN LIFE.

A specialist on nervous diseases has decided that saving time tends to shorten life, and at recent gathering of nerve doctors in New York. he called attention to the daily tension under which the averageAmerican works" He is report ed as saying:
 We rise on time, in the morning, whether by an alarm clock, by the cal of a servant or by habit, eat preakIast and read the paper on time. clock In every room and a watch frequently In our hand.
 we then, on time, meet office and out side engagements, business appointments consultations, always preconsiderfng the amount of time that will be required. and timing the next engagement accord ingly, Often we subdivide this time, and note by our watches exactly how long we can discuss subject.
 This is no exaggeration of the Amer ican habit. Even such breaks in works as are compelled by the need of physical refreshment are brought within time limits. We eat on time just as we trans act all our business on time. If the typical American were to be depicted fin his most characteristic attitude, 1t would be perched on a stool at a 'quick-lunch counter consuming his midday meal in seven minutes at the outside.
 Doubtless punctuality Is a virtue. Doubtless also the practice of doing things exactly on time has won for us, as a people, large measure of indus trial success. But, carried to an extreme, as If often is, 1t is wearing to the indi- vidual. The people whose nerves break down from exhaustion incident to over- work are often not so much the victims of overwork as of the habit of compress ing every bit of work within prearrang- ed limits of time.
 Let any one try the experiment of doing a given pieceeof work steadily and with application, but without noticing by his watch or a clock exactly how much time he is consuming, and he will be amazed to find how much easier it will go off than when he is timing himself
