Report of Admiral semmes Chapter,


 U. D. c.
 The Daughters of the Confederacy of Auburn held their first meeting of the fall with the President Mrs. B. B. Ross After cordial greetings were ex- changed a number of important matters were discussed. Miss Reese, director of the Children's Chapter. reported that SAP had been raised towards the fund for fence around the soldiers plot in the Auburn cemetery. She stated that the Children fully expected the Daugh- ters to help them in this important un- dertaking and to this appeal of course the Chapter will respond literally.
 The Secretary read letter from the Soldiers Home requesting the Chapter to send bulbs to one of the veterans who was very desirous of making a flower bed. Mrs c. A. Wright was ap- pointed to select a number of choice bulbs and order them sent to the Home. An appreciative letter has been re- ceived announcing the prompt arrival of this little gift. The Chapter re- duested Mrs. Ross to correspond with Colonel Falkner as to the urgent needs of the Home. A committee consisting of three young ladies was appointed to formulate plans for the entertain ment to be given for the Shiloh Monu- ment fund.
 The special literary feature of this meeting was the reading by Mrs. s. Q. Hale of "The Old Glory Jacket" This touching story written by Capt. s. Q. Haie of the 9th Alabama Regiment, Is a thrilling account of his brother, Lieu tenant Anthony Hale's short but bril- liant career as a soldier and of his tragic death and lonely burial Mrs. Hale by special request read this story and all present felt the Chapter was under obligations to both Mir. and Mrs. Hale for the privilege of hearing this life story of brave Lieutenant Hale. Previous to adjournment 1t was am nounced that the next meeting would be with Mrs " R. Frazer

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD
Also aFew Facts on the Same Subject


We hear much nowadays about
health foods and hygienic living, about
vegetarinsm and many other fads
along the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the
large cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank
Is in his glory, and arguments and
theories galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomachs, and almost make us believe
that our sturdy ancestors who lived
four score years in robust health on
roast beef, pork and mutton must have
been grossly ignorant of the laws of
health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common
sense are excellent guides to follow in
matters of diet. and a mixed diet of
grains, fruits and meats is undoubtedly
the best.
AS compared with grains and vege-
tables, meat furnishes the most nu-
triment in a highly concentrated form
and Is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables and grains.
DR.. julius Remmson on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run
down in health and of low vitality
should eat meat and plenty of 1t. If the
digestion is too feeble at first 1t may
be easily corrected by the regular use of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal. Two of these excellent tablets
taken after dinner will digest several
thousand grains of meat, eggs or other
animal food i'm three hours. and no
matter how weak the stomach may be,
no trouble Will be experienced II a reg
ular practice is made of using Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they sup
ply the pepsin and diastase necessary
TO perfect digestion, and every form of
indigestion will be overcome by their
use.
That large class OF people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure
its proper digestion, by the daily use
of safe, harmless digestive medicine
like Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets COM
posed of the natural digestive princi-
pies, pepsin, diastase, fruit acids and
salts, which actually perform the work
of digestion. Cheap cathartic medi-
cines. masquerading under the name
OF dyspepsia cures are useless for in
Digestion as they have absolutely no
effect upon the actual digestion of
food.
Dyspepsia I'm all its many forms is
simply a failure of the stomach to di-
gest food, and the sensible way to
solve the riddle and cure the dyspepsia
is TO make daily use at meal time of
a preparation like Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets, which is indorsed by the medi-
cal profession and known to contain
active digestive principles.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at 90 cents for full treatment.

The postponed Interpretation of Wag-
ner's "Parsifal" by Miss Alice Coleman
was the attractive feature of the after
noon
Miss Coleman, standing beside the
grand piano. told of the recent interest
in Wagner and especially in the Par
sifal," his last and greatest musical
drama. Beginning with the legend as
1t is, prior to the drama, she told rap
idly and beautifully the outline of the
religious story of the Holy Grail which
forms the basis of the drama. Sitting
at the piano, Miss Coleman then gave
clearly and distinctly number of the
musical motifs which run through the
whole drama. Among the wonder
fully beautiful motifs, full of subtle
meaning were the Holy Grail theme,
the religious or love feast theme, the
the faith and the mother themes. Then
touching here and there in the scenes.
Miss Coleman interpreted for her ap-
precative listeners the deep meaning
of the remarkabl music. Full, strong
harmonies alterna ted with strains of
ethereal melodies, and passionate,
tragic all but painful passages, were
followed by the holy sweetness of the
Good Friday spell and the peace of the
cessation of suffering. Miss Coleman
seemed wholly to lose herself in the
music. and the piano talked the thrill
ing sermon of salvation from sin.
