 Deferred Action to Age Limit.
 resolution providing a reduction in the age limit for initiation into the order as referred to all of the grand lodges by the Supreme Lodge for rat- ifcation or rejection, was called up. If two-thirds of the grand lodges vote in favor of the reduction, such will become the law. The proposed reduc- ton is from 21 years to IS years. The Grand Lodge felt. that 1t would' be better to give the subordinate lodges opportunity to look into this matter and action was postponed until the next meeting of the Grand Lodge.
 The same action was taken In refer ence to the resolution providing that the initiation fee be left to the discre- ton of the Grand Lodges instead of, with the Supreme Lodge. It is argued that different grand lodges are at diff ferent stages of prosperity and have different classes of membership and the amount of the initiation fee to the subordinate lodges should be left to

REDEMPTION OF TAGS
USE OF FERTILIZERS NOT AS LARGE
 As REPORTED.
Commissioner Poole win Soon Issue q Report of Cotton Crop Conditions in AInbama-Acreage Is
 Reduced.

Commissioner of Agriculture R. R. Poole is now fast receiving crop re- ports from the several counties and will be able to issue his general report for the State by the end of this month. That is his own opinion now, over 100 reports from representative sections of the farming State having been re- ceived.
 Commissioner Poole made a statement yesterday which seriously discredits the report that gained wide circulation some time ago that there have been so far this year a large increase in the sales of fertilizers. He has been In communication with the chief fertilizer manufacturers and dealers in Alabama recently and he has discovered that there will be enormous redemptions Of tags sold this year. Nearly all dealers have purchased surplus amounts or tags and express their intention of :S- decming them.
 It is now estimated that there will be four times the redemption this year that there was last year. The exact excess will be soon announced by Com missioner Poole. who is gathering re liable statistics in advance in this mat ter.
 If the excess of tag rcdemptioEs this year amounts to the estimated ratio of four to one, it is claimed that the ru- nor of increased fertilizer sales this year will be moro than nailed. Rough ly on this. estimate there will have been probably 100000 tons less of the lux sold than during the corfesponding season of 1904. This compensation seems apparent without giving any credence to the charge of certain of- ficers of the State Cotton Growers As- sociation that agents of the bears on the cotton marke' have purchased the tags in che cotton growing States for non-use and to falsely swell the tag sales ordinarily taken to represent the fertilizer sales.
 . Tba officers of the cotton prowers' as- sociations in most of the counties con- tinue to report material reductions of cotton acreage this year. The cotton ts also being consistently held and the market evenly sustained. President Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton Association. continues to issue appeals to cotton owners to hold.
 The condition of Commissioner, Poole, who has spent some time recently at his plantation in Marengo County, due to indisposition, has improved.

WHAT IS. BRIGHTs pasEAsEs

z Brights disease is catarrh of the kidneys.
 -Catarrh of the kidneys may arise from the spread of catarrh from other organs, or it may arise from some irri- tation of the kidneys directly in the organs themselves.
 In either case, the kidneys cease to eliminate the urea poisons from the blood and allow the escape of nutri- tious serum.
 This leads to the presence of albu- men in the urine and a rapid decline of the health and strength.
 Peruna cures catar1h of the kidneys. when all' of these symptoms disappear.
