Ladies Auxiliary Entertalns.

Another beautiful party Wednesday was the one given by the ladies of the auxiliary of the Elks. when they en- tertained at the Elks home. The occasion assembled about seven ty-five guests who played the game of six-hand euchre at twelve tables. The large rooms thrown together to accommodate the guests were tasteful ly decorated in flags in red, white and blue bunting and in potted palms, ferns and red and white carnations. The score cards carried out the patriotic scheme and at each table red and white bon-bons were served.
 Three prizes were awarded. The club prize. a beautiful set of hat pins was won by Mrs. Herman Uhlman, The visitors prize, a handsome cut glass vase. was won by Mrs. Spotswood of Mobile. while Miss Octavia Lauderdale captured the consolation prize, a pret- ty jardiniere. At the conclusion of the games refreshments in which the patriotic scheme was continued. were served.
 The Ladies of the Auxiliary of the Elks home entertained several times this season at original and beautiful functions. but that of Wednesday sur passed all former successes.

The President desired to consider
with them principally the morale of
the game of football, with view of
eliminating much of its brutality, if
possible. A general discussion of col
lege athletics was had, but the talk
centered around the game of football.
It is hoped by the President that
with the cooperation of the athletic
committee the rules may be amended
so as to do away with the roughness
of the play.
1t is understood that no definite con
clusions were reached. Indeed, none
was expected, the idea of the Presi-
dent being to simply start the ball roll

Treaty Effective on Approval.

Washington.-The treaty of peace
between Russia and Japan will be-

out awaiting the formal exchange of
ratifications at Washington. This in
formation was impaired at the Japan
ese legation to-day. This course has
been decided upon in order that the
speediest possible termination of the
war may be had.
The treaty, it is understood, has
passed through the necessary prelimi-
mary stages of approval in each coun-
try and is now before the respective
emperors of Japan and Russia for the
royal signature. AS soon as it has
been signed this fact will be commu-
nicated by cable to the State Depart
ment here and the Washington govern
ment will apprise each emperor of the
act of the other. With this accom-
,plished. the war will be at an end.
The formal exchange of notifications
will be carried out in Washington as
soon thereafter as the signed treaties
reach here.

AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
Overzealous Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.

Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by interested
parties. Every now and then some
Jealous reformer comes to the front
with the demand for law to require
every package of proprietary med.-
cine to be labeled with printed
abatement of the formula, showing
Just how it is manufactured. The mil
lions of people who use proprietary
medicines seem TO be satisfied; but
the man with mania for regulating
the affairs of other people or who has
some personal interest to serve is
the ore who agitates the proposition.
To person who has never taken
time to consider it, such proposition
NAV seem reasonable enough; yet 1t
IS in fact nothing more nor less than
scheme to compel the manufactur-
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy of every
commercial pirate who might choose
10 flood the market with limitations of
their goods.
Under such conditions the incen-

advertise his goods would be practi-
cally destroyed, for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainly 10
the benefit of the pirates and imita-
tors. Without advertising, the public
would receive little information in
regard to the medicine, and all future
sales would be greatly impaired IL
not wholly destroyed. 1t is mainly by
judcious advertising that the knowi-
edge of proprietary medicines IS
brought to the public. Nothing Is
more certais than that millions of peo-
pie have found relief at a compare
lively small expense by the use OF
some remedy first called to their
notice through newspaper advertising.
Why, then, should the manufacturer
of a meritorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as a condition OF
being allowed to carry it on? Yet
that is exactly what these formula
bills Exchange.
