A letter from the Disbursing Post master for Alabama, on receiving com piainfs from different localities of the inability of persons to cash checks issued from the disbursing postmast- er's oface in payment of Rural Free DeIfyery Service throughout the State, authorizes all postmasters. who remit their accounts to his office to cash such cheeks and turn them in on their ac- counts as casn-
 !. R. Carter, of Birmingham. suggests that the action of the banks in not cashing checks on his office ts based on the fear that under present hnarciai conditions, the checks so issued In pay naent of services may not be promptly paid at the United States Depository In Birmingham.
 In addition to the notification tnat pay check will be cashed by postmast- CTS is the note that all checks issued py the Birmingham Postofflce will pc promptly paid in cash on presentation st the First National Bank of that ety.

 Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 8, 1907.
 ssFrom some localities I am inform cd by the postmastcr tnat iocAA have recently declined to cash the checks issued from this ofice. in pay ment of Rural Free Delivery Servics throughout the State.
 aIt is assumed that this action on the part of said banks is based on the fear, that under present inanciai con. ditions, these checks may not pc , promptly paid at the United States De- pository here. |.

COLLEGE STUDENTS WANT
 COMPULSORY EDUCATION

Greensboro, Nov. s--(SpeciaI. )--The Students of the Southern University as- sembled in a mass meeting Friday morning.
 A. E. Shafer. who presided over the meeting. arose and in brief but stir ring address stated that the question of compulsory education vas certain to come before the special session of the Legislature. as that was one of the most important reasons for which 1t was called. He said that. as a rule. he was opposed to college men in any way limiting their wishes to the Iegis- 1ative body of a commonwealth, but that he believed. in a time like the present, when the sentiment of the coming voters was needed, 1t was pro- per for the college men to publicly an- nounce ther sentiment. He therefore submitted the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted:
 'To the Legislature of the State of Alabama:
 we, the students of the Southern University, in mass meeting, assem- bled. do hereby petition your honor" able body to pass compulsory educa- tional> bill as effective as is consistent with the present facilities and condi- tions in Alabama.

One woman who does her own
work and yet likes to entertain a good
deal has brought order out of chaos
and made the work lighter for herself
by limiting her dinner to three hot
dishes. She serves first iced canta-
loupe, grape fruit or oysters, accord
ing to the season; then meat, pota-
toes and one vegetable. Salad and
dessert are prepared beforehand, and
SO is the coffee. She serves all but
the three hot dishes-which, of course
must be brought from the kitchen
from small serving table at her side.
which has two shelves beneath it and
an outstanding bracket shelf for the
clean and used dishes. The coffee, in
a French coffee pot, stands on one of
the brackets of the serving table and
boils merrily until required

Mistakes We Make.

Moths do not eat furs or cloths.
They lay their eggs in these rich
stuffs, and it is the worm from the
eggs that do the eating. There are no
shooting stars. Stars are immense
bodies, many times larger than the
earth. The so-called shooting stars
that glide so splendidly across the
nocturnal sky are meteors-fragments
weighing as rule, but few pounds.
Sunstroke is really heat apoplexy. 1t
is the moisture in the air, rather than
the actual rays of the sun, that causes
sunstroke. In dry climates, such as
Cairo's with summer temperature of
122 degrees in the shade, sunstroke
is much rarer than with US.
