Atlanta, Ca, May l6.-The tenth an
nual gathering of the National Associa-
ton Of Manufacturers of the United
States, representing more than three
quarters Of the thirteen billions Of in
vested capital Of this country, assem-
bled in the grand opera house today.
The annual address OF President ID. M.
Parry. Of Indianapolis was first in or
der.
In discussing the pending interstate
commerce legislation, Mr.. Parry APP
piled the principles Of individualism
and competition, as he did all thru his
speech. He declared that the question
of rebates did not properly enter into
the discussion Of the Esch- Townsend
its behalf themselves declare that the
present laws are fully adequate to meet
that evil The issue raised by the pro-
posed bill, he said, is whether the gov
erDment, thru a commission, shall es-
tablish inelastic legal rates to take the
place of the rates now fixed by compe-
tition.
He quoted recent interview Of
Representative Stevens Of Minnesota,
commerce, going to show he said, that
the substitution Of system Of in:
elastic rates for the rates determined
by competition would result in great
injury to industry in many sections Of
the country. He said that the com.
mission or any political body that
might be created would yield to the
result, the rates between different
localities would be more inequitable
| than the rates now fixed by competi-
| ton between these localities. In
maintaining that competitive condl-
tions are still potent in regulating
| rates, he said:
| AS under the continuous working Of free
competitive conditions rates may be ex-
pected gradually to decline, it remains for
rates to show why any change from COM
petitive conditions Is desirable, and
whether socialistic rate-making would in
4 sure lower rates in the future. The com
plants coming from shippers against the
railroads are almost wholly complaints OF
discrimination in favor Of other ship
pers.
Shippers Want 1mpartiality.
What the shippers want in this country
Is impartial treatment, rather than arbi.
! trary reduction of rates The principle OF
impartial treatment of the public must
be enforced. It might be wise when il
is found that secret lower rate or rebate
/ has been granted to any shipper that such
rate be made the open rate for. say, one
" year, as tho the rate were part Of the
4 published classification.
j Unjust Determinations between !ocali-
ties and kinds Of traffic ought to be sus-
ceptible to correction thru the application

the same as unjust Determinations be-
tween individuals. There is no valid rea
son for asserting that one kind of dis
elimination can be corrected by punitiv,
!; legislation, and that another kind cal
only be reached by the socialistic method

Stillman of New York, showed the re

Smart Midwinter Styles.

A well-known milliner says that ca.
mellias and stiff petaled flowers of
this family will be worn on fur toques.
A swagger hat of sable in fiat sailor

gardenias around the crown.
Another model was a theater crea-
ton, with crown of violets and their
leaves. A brim of embroidered pale
green tulle spread like an aureole
around the head. Two white feathers
so placed as to fall over the brim in
front gave very novel movement to
the hat.

How to Water Flowers.

The most particular thing in the
house culture of plants is the water
ing. So many people think they are
doing their duty if they give their
plants little water every day. This
is altogether wrong. When you find
your plants dry they need water
This can be easily learned by tapping
the pot with the knuckles and getting
a ringing sound from dryness and a
dead sound when it is wet enough, or
by rubbing the soil on the top of the
pot with the finger; if it feels moist
and sticks to the finger, it is wet
enough, but if it feels dry and slightly
dirty, it wants water. Water it well,
and be sure the water has gone
through the pot. By half watering,
that is not giving it enough water to
go to the bottom, the roots are drawn
to the top for drink instead of going
down, where they will get both food
and drink. Never let plants stand in
water either in saucers or jardinieres,
as it will in most instances induce
decay of the roots, which will be
fatal to the plants.-Montreal Her

Wanted-An Appetite.

Don't be without one. Why go to
the dining room under protest. Don't
try to buy appetite at dollar bot
tie. Earn it. One should enjoy eating
and he will, if he has natural appe-
tite such as comes to one who works
for it.
The outdoor life creates appetite,
and a cold morning bath awakens the
brain. lungs, heart, liver, stomach and
the appetite. An ice bag over the
stomach for half an hour before meals
is good natural appetizer for bed
ridden invalid.
Another method is hot application
over the abdomen for five minutes, fol-
lowed by an ice rub over the same
parts for one or two minutes. This
not only produces an appetite but
stimulates the flow of the digestive
juices and thus furnishes the ability
to digest.

Shaded Plumes Pretty.

The vogue Of the ombre or shaded
colorings is one that increases as the
season reaches it's height, and is pref
tily exemplified in this hat of shaded
browns in velvet and chenille, trimmed
with a long full plume showing the
raspberry tints running into white.
The crown is high, the brim so wired
that it may be bent to the most becom-
ing curve, and bandeau tucked into
the headsize at the left side, to give
becoming tilt to the shape. Shaded
brown velvet roses cover the bandeau,
and an applique of ecru Irish crochet
lies fiat on the edge of the brim.

Diet for Tuberculosis.

The tubercular patient needs pro-
teids, or tissue-building foods. but only
just the amount which can be assimi-
lated and utilized by the body. Any
excess must be treated like poisons,
and hence must be a burden to both
liver and kidneys, and waste of vital
energy.
Proteids must be taken, not only in
moderate quantity, but in the purest
form possible. The vegetable kingdom
presents proteids in combination with
fats in great abundance, and in nuts,
which can be made easily digestible
by thorough chewing or by proper
preparation.
The yolks of eggs afford also COM
bination of fats and proteids which is
admirably suited to the tubercular pa
tient. Milk, especially rich milk, is
another food adapted to this class Of
patients when it does not produce
"biliousness" through indigestion.
Many tubercular patients have dila-
tation of the stomach. Such cases
must avoid milk. Nearly all can take
nuts If the right kind is selected and
great care is taken with the mastica-
ton. Pecans, hickory nuts, almonds
ard filberts, pinons, or pine nuts are
the best varieties. Half a pound of
nuts may be taken daily by the con-
sumptive, not only without harm, but
with great benefit, If combined with
other foods. A diet consisting of nuts,
well-toasted bread and fruits is per-
feet dietary for the tubercular patient.
The yolks of dozen eggs may be
used in place Of nuts.

Sinking Spells, Headaches, Rheumatism,
All Caused by Poor Blood-Cured by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
When Mrs. Williams was asked for
some details of the fearful illness from
which she had so long suffered, she spoke
as follows:
"Ever since had nervous prostration,
about thirteen years ago, l have had
periodical spells Of complete exhaustion.
Any excitement or unusual activity
would throw me into state of lifeless-
ness. At the beginning my strength
would come back in moderate time,
but the period of weakness kept length
ening until at last would lie helpless
as many as three hours at stretch"
"You were under medical treatment,
of course?'
Eyes, when I became so bad that I
had to give up my homework, in May Of
1908, I was being treated for kidney
trouble, and later the doctor thought my
difficulties came from change of life.
was not only weak, but had dizzy
feelings, palpitation of the heart, misery
after eating, hot flashes, nervous head
aches, rheumatic pains i'll the back and
hips. The doctor did me SO little good
that gave up his treatment, and really
feared that my case was incurable."
"What saved you from your state Of
hopelessness?
"In July of 1908 I had very bad
spell, and my husband came in one day
with little book which told of remark
able cures effected by remedy for the
blood and the nerves, DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. He bought box for me, and
that was the beginning of my return to
health. Myappetite grew keen, my food
no longer distressed me, my nerves were
quoted, and my strength began to re-
vive."
"How long did you take this remedy"
"For two months only. At the end
of that time had regained my health
and cheerfulness, and my friends say
that am looking better than l have
done for the past fifteen years."
Mrs. Lizzie Williams is now living at
No. 4l6 Cedar street. Quincy, Illinois.

New Gowns,

Many of the gowns are built along
nouveau art lines and the woman OF
the season looks precisely as though
she had stepped off calendar. She
is in reds and browns, bronzes and
sepias, and her tones are beautiful to
behold.
She dresses in etamine and heavy
canvas, the new woman in brown, and
she selects the glossy face cloth which
looks like brown satin and the wonder
full novelty brown goods, wooden and
soft and easily draped.
Then one sees the woman of brown
in camel's hair with the long hairs
very visible on the surface, and in the
camels hair there are stripes, and
spots and shot portions to give it
contrast. And one also sees the cam
els hair goods with plain dots, silky
and shiny, and the camels hair which
has smooth spots of wooden and nov
city figures. There are ever so many
new varieties this season, just as
there are in Examines and brown
serges.
But most popular of all in New York
is the miroir velvet. 1t comes so thin
that it makes an admirable reception
gown, equaling in elegance anything
that could be produced.
But there are cheaper velvets that
are pretty and fashionable and pretti-
est of all in brown are the crushed
velvet suits which are soft in tone,
rich. in texture and admirable for max
ing up purposes.

Health By TRAINING.

Health-getting. for the chronic in
valid, is simply matter of training, of
health culture under favorable condi-
lions, which include the discarding
of all disease-producing habits, such
as the use of tobacco, tea, coffee and
all irritating, indigestible and disease
producing foods.
The free use of flesh foods is no
doubt cause of liver and kidney dis
ease, as we'll as of stomach disorders.
The uric acid of flesh food is also a
cause of rheumatism and govt, as well
as nervousness and calculies.

Early in October there was held in
st. Louis, at the Hall of Congresses,
in connection with the Worlds Fair,
the American International Congress
of Tuberculosis, which consisted of
representatives gathered from all
parts of the American continent, to
discuss the best means of preventing
and curing this dreadful disease. Spe-
cial attention was given to the subject
of prevention. The congress was in
session three days. Many important
questions were discussed and commit
tees were appointed for the purpose
of carrying forward an active cam
paign against this most terrible of all
the fees of human life. The commit
tee of publicity was charged with the
duty of organizing a proper educa-
tional campaign in connection with
Chautauquas, conventions, associa-
tons and fraternities of various sorts,
for the purpose of placing in the
hands of the public information re-
lating to the best means of preventing
and combating this scourge. Those
who are especially interested in this
phase of the question should address
for further information the American

To Serve MaYonnaise.

A good idea for serving tartar sauce
CIR mayonnaise is to put it in little
.lemon basket'-that is, half lemon
nearly cleaned out and then filled with
the sauce. One of these should go to
each guest. The great advantage in
this is that the sauce does not get
melted by being put on the hot plate
with the fish, fried oysters, etc. If
the fish is served on platter it may
be surrounded with these little lemon
baskets" If it is served from the
pantry "lemon basket" should be
placed on each plate.-Harper's Bazaar

tubercular patients. 1t may be taken
in the quantity of one to three quarts
day, according to the amount Of
