WOMAN AGAINST WOMAN

The restoration Of the army can
teen is the battle ground on which
two organizations. composed of wom-
en-, have met for a fight to the end.
The women of the army and navy
league have taken up the cudgel in
favor of the soldier to battle against
the desires Of the ONE of the
Wonans' Christian Temperance
Union. It is a peculiar situation to
say the least, but both declare they
are sincere in their efforts to do the
best for the soldiers of the United
States. AT the head OF the army
and navy league is Mrs john Kelton,
who is leading the movement to re-
store the canteen. She is the widow
of Gen. John c. Kelton, who estab-
lished the first canteen in the army,
II the old soldiers erected a mon
ument to his memory for what they
claimed was the first real temperance
work done in the army. Mrs. Kel-
ton is assisted by Mrs. Russell a. AL
ger, who is making a vigorous CAM
paign in securing signatures to a pc
tition to present to congress at the
present session. Another lady who
is in the work with Mrs. Kelton is
Mrs. George Sternberg, wife ..ot the
former surgeon-general of the army,
who asserts she is fighting for real

United States Navy, is also assisting
In getting the work of 1.-The canteen
back on the old basis. She says she
believes in temperance, but at the
same time belives that the abolition
of the canteen is an incorporate use
of authority.
Arrayed against the army and navy
league is a great host of women I'M
der the banner of the W. @. T. o.,
and at their head stands Mrs. Lillian
NJ. N. Stevens, who is an energetic,
plucky and aggressive leader of wom-
en-. Mrs. Stevens asserts that the
Union is not at all disturbed by the
fight their opposers are putting up.
and declares that they don't under
stand the question from the fact
that tie women OF the army and
navy league have imblbed their ideas
from their husbands and have not
given the subject the same study as
the Union women. Mrs. Stevens
is assisted in her campaign by Mrs.
Clinton Smith, the president of the
Washington w. c. T. o., and Mrs.
Margaret Dye Ellis, OF Newark, N.
T., who is known in Washington as
the "W. G. T. o., lobbyist" and
she is most active in her work in
keeping a close watch on the move
ments Of the opposing forces for
canteen restoration.
The %contending forces will make
life a burden Tor the average con-
gresham as he listens to both sides
of the s6ory. The army canteen was
abolished Feb. 2, 1901, and on the
sites Of the places the government is
erecting new post exchanges, which
are to be equipped with a gymnasium,
bowling alley, reading room, school
and baths, and the Onion feels that
the soldier will be abundantly COM
pensated in these exchanges for the
loss Of the canteen.

People are more likely to catch cold
In the back than they are generally
aware of, and If neglected it may prove
a serious matter. The back. especially
between the shoulders. should always
be kept well covered, and never lean
with your back against anything that
is cold. Never sit with the back in a
direct draft, and when warming it by
the fire do not continue to keep the
back exposed to the heat after it has
become comfortably warm. To do SO
is debilitatine.-Journal of Health.

A MONSTER DUMPING.

In Halifax county, n c., prior to

Town. In 1910, when William Henry
Harrison was elected president after a
most exciting campaign, Dumping
Town had exactly ia voters, and ev-
cry man of them cast his ballot for
Harrison.
The people of the small but prosper
Gus town of Scotland Neck, In that
county, showed their appreciation of
the unanimous vote Of Dumping Town
by generous and whimsical gift. Two
days and a night were consumed In
building a big dumping, which was
made of apples and -four and which
weighed ia pounds, one pound for
This monster of dumping was put
in sack supported by a tripod and
lowered into an immense iron kettle.
1t required two days and night to
cook it properly. Then 1t was lifted
out and placed in a specially made
DONl cut ALOlu the lEullh VI uu ellOE-
nous cypress tree, and round it were
placed ia dumplings of the usual size
A band of music and fifty wagons were
sent to Dumping Town, and in these
wagons were taken to Scotland Neck
the ia true blue Harrison men and
their families.
There was great cheering when they
arrived at Scotland Neck, and the
guests cheered themselves when they
saw the feast prepared for them, for,
besides the dumplings, no end of good
things filled many tables in the spa
cious warehouse and the feasting and
fun lasted the rest of the day and near
ly all night.
A barrel of the best molasses was
used as sauce for the big dumping,
and the hungry people ate it ALL

The effigy of the cock SO often seen
on church steeples is usually connected
with a legend in connection with st.
Peter. AS matter Of fact, however,
the figure of a cock used to be placed
on the tops Of sacred trees long be-
fore it was used on buildings. The
movement of the bird In the breeze was
supposed by the superstitious to ward
off evil spirits. On a number of mod

WE ARE GROWING.

Have you ever made anOte of how
the south is growing? By leaps and
bounds its commerce broadens until
it has become a factor everywhere.
Since 1880 the population of the
southern states has increased about
60 per cent, the while its manufac-
tured products have increased by 25l
per cent, which is development ex-
traOrdinary. Railroad mileage has
increased 1871 per cent and the pro-
duction of pig iron 73l per cent.
In the coal industry alone the out
put has jumped since 1880 from $4,000
annually to f62, OOO,OOO.
1t is not necessary to quote figures
beyond those already given. The
development has been steady in all
lines and has been rs marked in
matters municipal and civic as it has
been in the growing of cotton and
corn.
Time was when southern city
was known by its peculiar types of
architecture. Now the skyscraper is
prominent in all our leading cities
The mule no longer hauls the street
cars Except in Palatka) for electric
ity has been found as valuable an
aid to progress in the south as in the
north.
The development of the great west
made the United States the richest
nation on the globe. The develop
ment of the south, carried out on the
present lines of progression, will put
this country beyond dream of com

That the people of Florida are will
