Afternoon Session.

The committee did not reassemble un- til o'clock, at which time Chairman Bouldin of the special committee on plan reported, presenting a plan looking to a primary on May IS, for the election Of the following officers:
 Delegates to the national convention and alternates; presidential electors and all ternates; two justices of the supreme court; president of the railroad commits sion; state game and fish commissioner; chancellor of the southeastern division. In counties where dates of primary have been set no change will be made. though the committee suggests that all be arranged for the same date.
 MT. Walker objected to the exception of those counties where dates have been set. He offered an amendment to this effect
 MT. Ormond opposed it. Local condi- tions make it necessary that the Tusca- loosa primary be held early. There are p candidates for one county office. He moved to eliminate the suggestion in the report that counties with dates fixed change to that of the general plan.
 Mr. Steagall was for the Walker amendment believing the party law de- manded rule making all alike. If coun- ty primaries are held early it will be impossible to get full vote out at the later date.
 Mir. deGraffenrefd moved to table the Walker amendment. Lost, IS to F.
 The amendment was then carried 2l to H. This puts the date of the primary May IS.
 Mir Allgood argued against the pro vision that all who are allowed to vote with the party must have voted at the last election for nominees of the state democratic ticket. MT. SteagalI was with him.
 MT. Jeffries and MT. Crompton op- posed.
 MT. Davis was for the open door also. He wanted to allow all qualified white voters to vote and so moved.
 MT. Erwin called the platform. He op- posed the Davis amendment
 On a vote the amendment was lost, IS to 16.
 Non-Office cehoIders.
 The sentiment of the members of the committee ascertained after investigation, is that non-officeholders be selected as delegates to the national convention. The idea seemed to be that as men with posi- ton had been honored with places of profit, the non-paying honors should be given to the party workers. Some con- tended that not even members of the state committee should be chosen.

Among the various studies which we

than this, the study of mans relation

cries in science, his supposed wisdom
will sooner or later prove false unless
it be in line with the thought OF Goa
The only real discovery man makes Is

The world is hungry after God, but IL
is God they want. The various items
of the day do not satisfy unless iod

Milk Breeds Germs:

Milk is an ideal breeding place
for germs. That is why it carries
infections.
A single germ, left in milk
few hours, will breed millions of
others like it.
Some cows are tubercular, and
the milk from such COWS carries
the germs of consumption.
Some milk cans are washed in
water which carries the germs of
typhoid.
Some milkmen are diseased,
some dairies are uncleanly. Some
milk is subjected to foul air and
to dust.
You know nothing about this
when You buy raw milk. You
have no way Of guarding your
self.
But, when you use Van Camps
Milk, you are absolutely protect
ed. There is not a germ of any
kind in it.

Nothing whatever is added 40
sugar, no starch, no preservative.
Nothing is subtracted save water.
We milk, in five states, 10000
Holstein COWS. Every COW is
regularly inspected. So is every
man who milks them.
Every dairy is sanitary. Every
factory, where the milk is evapo-
rated, is built without wood. We
carry cleanliness to such an ex-
IRENE that there is never a chance
of infection.
Then the milk is Sterilized after
the cans are scaled. The milk
keeps for years as fresh as the
day we MIXED it.

FLAG DAY
Is Very Generally Observed In APP
propriate Manner In New York.

New York, June 15.-Flag day was
Observed in New York today. The Stars
and Stripes fly from public buildings

birthday. Yesterday was the proper
anniversary of the adoption by Con-
grcss in 1777 of Il national flag, but
being Sunday, celebrations were almost
universally put off until today.
