ELKS HAVE BIG TIME
 ON THE CLOSING DAY

The fifth annual convention of the Ala bama State Association of Elks passed into history last night. concluding with one of the llveliest barbecues at Germania park yesterday that Birmingham has ever experienced. This barbecue was strictly a stag" affair and merriment reigned supreme all day.
 Yesterdays session opened at O clock with a memorial service to the memory of Eli P Smith who was prominent ia local Lodge No. 79 and who was also special representative in Alabama for the grand exalted ruler.
 After the conclusion of the service the Elks formed in columns and moved through the streets. the large crowds packing the sidewalks to witness the procession. Their colors of white and pur- pie were very much in evidence. and their appearance was greeted with cheers all along the line of march.
 After the parade special cars were boarded for Germania park, where the Best People on Earth proceeded to en- joy themselves in a way known only to those initiated to the mysteries of Elk dom. Along with the jollity. however, a splendid programme was carried out
 The first thing on it was the presenta- tion by John W. O'Neill of a gold headed cane to retiring President John E. Shel- by. MT. ONeilIs address was a tribute to the splendid work of President She by, who in company with Secretary H. E. Shropshire. Jr., visited all but four of the lodges during the year. MT Shel by responded to MT. O'Neills address in a neat speech of thanks.
 This was followed with addresses by President-elect w. s. Shepherd and (. s. Simmons of Birmingham; M T. Or mond of Tuscaloosa. the Rev. J. W. Lawley and Secretary Shropshire There were also number of short talks by others.
 Several interesting incidents occurred during this convention. MT. Connor of Rome, Ga. who is an Elk and also Confederate veteran met up with Ike Vaughan, member of local lodge No. I9, who is a Federal veteran of the civil war. The. two men in conversation discovered that they had fought against each other at Chattanooga, and immediately began to make amends for trying to kill each other then by expressions of love. Then to have a fitting climax they walked side by side in the Elks' parade.
 The uniform worn by the Ell<s consist ed of white duck trousers white shirt waists, white straw hats with purple and white bands around them and white shoes, making an exceptionally neat ap- pearance.
 Jack Curran, Jr., who is still in the wee small years of milk teeth, acted as mascot and carried the Elks emblem. Little Jack was the feature of the parade and the Eks kept a close eye on him during the march for fear some Confei- crate veteran might kidnap him.

USES OF SALT.

Besides being an essential ingredient
lin culinary art, salt has many other
|uses perhaps not generally known. Salt
|cleanses the palate and furred tongue,
and a gargle of salt and water is often
|eficacious. A pinch of salt on the
tongue, followed ten minutes after by
la drink of cold water, often cures a
sick headache. Salt hardens the gums,
makes the teeth white and sweetens
the breath. Salt added to the water in
which cut flowers stand keeps them
fresh Salt used dry, in the same man
ner as snuff, will do much to relieve
colds, hay fever, etc. Salt in warm
water, if used for bathing tired eyes,
will be found very refreshing. Salt
and water will stop hemorrhage from
tooth extraction.

"Yes dear-you have only the things necessary

When l kissed the Mater goodnight, in the wee
ssma' hours ayant the twal,'' she knew that my
pipe had gone OUT my vision had faded; and
knew that she grieved with me.
: Closing the door between us, sense or lonell-
ness of misery too acute to be borne fell upon
me- Turning to the open window, leaned my
head against the easement, giving myself up to
despair.
The moon was still shining as it had shone on
Dorothy and me. as we walked together only a
few hours before; and the stars, seadfas in their
course were looking down upon me, but needed
nothing save my own sad thoughts, giving myself
up to that.

First leaves the young heart lone and desolate,
In the wide world, without that only tie,
For which it loved to live or feared to die.
