Lewis Chapter.

Lewis Chapter. The Lewis Chapter. D. A. R., were entertained Wednesday afternoon by Mrs F. P. Bakewell, at the residence of her father, Capt. l.. Y. Dean. Twen- ty-seven members answered the roll call.
 Mrs. l.. Y. Dean, Regent, called the meeting to order promptly and busi- ness of the day was dispatched in her usual efficient manner. First of all was the election of officers for 1905, which resulted in unanimous vote that the board be unchanged. letter was read from the State Regent urg- jag the Chapter to renewed zeal, and while speaking in congratulatory terms of what has been accomplished during 1904, she asked their aid in making 1905, her tenth year as State Regent, the very best of her administration. Mrs. Smith is greatly beloved by every Alabama Chapter and they will rally to her support.
 The literary program was as follows:
 l. "'The Dawn of America" Miss Leila Johnston.
 ?. 'The Nations of North America" c. G. Mercer.
 3. Reading from Irving's "Alham- bra" Miss Garland.
 The querest for the afternoon was Mrs. w. s. Britt. and all enjoyed the manner in which she piled the Chapter with appropriate and well chosen ques- tions.
 At the meeting in January, 1904. the Lewis Chapter offered pin. the official emblem of their organization, for the best paper written during the year. pr. Petrie, of the A. p. l., of Auburn, was chosen to read and decide upon the merits of these papers. His letter was read by Mrs H. M. Weedon. It was one of congratulation to the Chapter on the amount of study and reading re- qulred to write the papers sent him. He said: Any Chapter might feel justly proud of them" In deciding as to the best paper three were mentioned. The Boys of 1776." by Mrs. I L. Moore; Our First Diplomat" by Miss Lula Walker. and Social Life in Washing ton," by Miss Leila Johnston. His de- cision, however, was that the last named was the prize paper. Mrs. Wee don most graciously presented the pin to Miss Johnston, who received 1t with charming grace.
 pr. Wharton. S. A. R.. addressed the Chapter and in their behalf presented to Mrs. J.H. Whillock, for the Carne- gle Library, forty volumes of the Amer ican Encyclopedia, a magnificent gift and library in itself. Then in the name of Mrs. Dean. the Regent. he pre- scented twenty-two volume of the Way erly novels.
 Dr. Whillock. on behalf of the Li- brary, accepted the books, with thanks to the ladies for their gift. His eulogy upon the work of women in church and State pleased the D. A. R., and made him with them even more of a favorite than before.
 After the meeting adjourned Mrs. Bakewell entertained the Chapter at a buffet luncheon, a delihgtful ending to one of the most charming meetings in the history of the society Gladstone once wisely stated That no greater calamity can befall a people than to break with the past" This calamity the D. A. R. seek to prevent. They endeavor to cultivate genealogical re- search and preserve an interest in af- fairs of the past, to venerate the mem ory and achievements of their ances- tors. The February meeting will be held with Mrs. Thomas l.. Moore.

 Then there was Professor Psychofiz- zycus, large. lazy, long cared man who lived mostly on the astral plane and who considered that meat eating retarded for hundreds of incarnations the progress of the human soul through the eternities. Pork-yea, even the choicest broiled ham-was the double- dyed abomination of Professor Psycho- fizzycus.
 Lucianna sent him clipping from a live stock journal giving instructions how to carve up properly and salt away the body of slain pig.
 Aunt Sarah hated tobacco worse than poison. She said 1t stupefied mems brains, caused cancer, paralysis dyspepsia, insomnia and insolvency. Aunt Sarah declared with emphasis that she would rather spend her time in a petroleum refinery than dwell in the same house with a man who smoked. Lucianna sent her a disquisitional ad- Vertisement on the good health, delight and sweet dreams to be drawn from the consumption of a genuine biena- venturadamente claro cigar.
 Lastly, there was Great uncle Ronce, bachelor of eighty. He was a crank rom CrankNllle, ana his pet aVersions were giggling girls and crying babies Indeed he disliked children as aged bachelors who have only themselves to think of sometimes do .Lucianna sent Great uncle Ronce an advertisement of rare and radiant unfermentable food for infants, accompanied with the offer on trial of a newfangled feeding bottle for youngest babes.

 Congress is riding headlong for a great deficit at the end of the next fiscal year unless President Roosevelt uses the veto power. Thus far the present fiscal year the expenditures of the Gov ernment exceed the receipts by $24,- s14.55O.03. It has generally been con- ceded that the escape of a deficit larger than that which confronts the Govern ment at the end of the present fiscal year, on June 30. could only be ac- |complished by Congress exercising the most scrupulous economy.
 But economy is a word which Con- gress seems to have cut out of its lex icon. Leaving out of consideration the river and harbor bill and other meas ures which are characterized as pork bills," it is clear that the appropria- tions of this session now in sight will exceed those of last session by at least SIG, ,00O, 900. That is to say, the ap- propriations that have been practically agreed on will be that much in excess of the public money voted by the last regular session.
 It now appears that the river and harbor bill will carry at least $17,OOO.- 900. There is a companion pork bill'' In the public building grab, and it was stated today that there is to be an om- nibus public building bill carrying about $1O.0OO.OOO. Then there is to be an omnibus claims bi;l which will car ry perhaps three millions more. Here in sight Is an excess over last years appropriations of at least $40.00O, 900.
 At this rate the next fiscal year seems likely to close, not with a de- felt of $24.OOO.O00 such as is assured at the close of the present business year. but of probably $50000,000 or $6O, 900, and perhaps more.
 Congress is deluding itself with the hope that the lavish estimate of in-

Constipation causes nine-tenths of all the disease and misery in the world. It leads to more constitutional weaknesses than any other afiIction. When one Is constipated the food no longer supplies the necessary nourishment, the blood ebcomes watery, the muscles fabby. and the general health broken down. Constipation causes poisonous gases to rise, and these are carried by the blood to every tissue of the body.

Nothing more irritating than con stant backache-that dull, heavy throb which bothers you all day and prevents sound sleep at night.
 Backache makes you fretful and ner- vous-keeps you "on edge all the time It carves plain lines in the face, anG ruins a cheerful disposition.
 Don't mistake the cause of backache Overwork might tire your back, but should not make 1t ache and pain ana throb. A man or woman with healthy kidneys can work hard, rest and sleep, and be ready to work hard again.
 Backache is kidney ache. It tells you of an infiamed or congested condition of the kidneys, brought on by a cold, a strain on the back, or perhaps some other slight cause.
 The danger is that kidney congestion never relieves itself and it so disturbs the blood Altering processes of the kid neys that uric acid and other poisons collect in the blood.
 These poisons should pass off in the urine. but instead are carried by the blood to every part Of the body and cause painful and fatal diseases.
 Health can only be restored by re. storing the kidneys to health. This can only be done with a kidney medi- cine.
