If an enameled kettle has been left
on the stove until it has boiled dry it
is a mistake to fill it up with cold
water, as this will cause the enamel To
hip off. This will not occur if boiling
water is poured into the kettle instead.
A few economical housewives have
tried grinding their tea leaves like cof-
fee, and they declare that the result is
excellent, only about half the usual
quantity being used. Of urse the tea
strainer must be as fine as can be
bought.

You need not be alarmed about the
condition of your skin as 1 think it is
due to wind and weather conditions,
and will be very easily cured by the
following simple remedy:
Lanolin-One ounce.
Almond oil-One ounce.
Tincture of benzoin-One-half ounce.
Mix all together thoroughly and rub

First wash the face with hot water and
CASTLE soap, rinse well and dry. I am
sure you will find great relief in this

partially dry before ironing. They will
not come off and many beautiful de-

TRADE BOOMING In MANY LINES.
Many Industries Showed an Increased
Activity in July.

Washington, D. C.-Notably increas-
ed activities in number Of lines of
industry in the United States are
shown in the July report of the bu
reau Of statistics of the department
of commerce and labor, which has
just been issued. There is a con-
siderably heavier live stock movement
reported for the seven months end
ing with July than for the correspon-
ding period of either of the two i'm
mediately preceding two years Grain
receipts for July increased over the
preceding month and also over July
Of last year. Lumber and coal move
ments as well as the production Of
iron, continue to show marked adj
vances over the preceding months Of
the year, although the total is still
below the heavy figures Of July, 1907.
More than 10 per cent Of the report
ing car associations show gains over
the preceding months Of the current
year. Live stock reports at seven inte-
rior primary markets aggregated g.
7S419S head.
With returns from forty-five leading
cities the building operations for July
showed improvement, a small gain
over the remarkably large business
Of July of last year being reported.
Packing house products receipts Of
southern pine at New York. pig iron
and other productions showed gains
over the preceding month.
Coal and coke traffic over seven
eastern coal carrying roads during
July, 1908, aggregating 9,961,996 tons,
was far in excess of the preceding
months totals, though still nearly g.
900, 900 tons below the like shipments
for July, 1907. The increase over the
June figures Is largely due to the H.
900, O00-ton increase in shipments OF
bituminous coal.

10 EXHIBIT RESOURCES
Plans Formulated for Southern
Commercial Congress.
WILL MEET in WASHINGTON
Commercial Bodies and Boards of Trade
of One Hundred Southern Cities y
to Be Represented.

Columbus, Ga.-The important an
nouncement has been made by j.. A..
Betjeman of Albany, Ga, secretary OF
the committee recently appointed at a
meeting of trade bodies OF eleven
southern states at Chattanooga, Tenn,
that southern industrial congress
will he held at Washington, d. c., on
December 6, and8.
1t is hoped to make this congress
the most. elaborate and accurate ex-
position Of southern resources and
southern conditions ever held, and
a program will be prepared with great
care. In this program the south's
best thought and most representative
men will take part, the idea being to
give the outside world a clear and in
telligent idea of southern conditions
as they actually exist
The committee, which is composed
of G. G.. Dave, Montgomery, Ala.
chairman; E. e. Shannon, Of Nash
vile, Tenn; Walter G. Cooper, of At
lanta, and Mr.. Betjeman, secretary,
will meet in Atlanta to begin
work on the porgram. Already tweley
of the leading southern cities have
formally given their Endorsement OF
the proposed congress, and Secretary
Betjeman is daily receiving further
letters on the subject from various
cities.
Each constituent body is expected to
appoint a committee Of three to pre-
pare printed matter and secure stere-
opticon views of its scenes and insti-
buttons and charts of its educational
work, manufacturing civic institu-
tions, etc.
The state geologist of each state,
the commissioner of agriculture, the
entomologist and the superintendent
of education are requested to act as
an advisory committee, and to asso-
ciate with them the most prominent
editors and the presidents of the lead
ing commercial bodies in arranging
for suitable representation of the state
resources.
The congress will be held immedi-
ately before the national congress on
rivers and harbors is held in Wash
ington, and this fact will swell the at
tendance This will be the first plan
ned of number Of similar southern
industrial congresses which will prob
ably be held in the northern, eastern
and western states

WOULD INCREASE THE ARMY.
President Will Recommend Force of
100000 Men-4is Reasons.


Washington, d.. C.-President
Roosevelt, in his final message to con-
gress, probably will recommend an in
crease in the numerical strength of
the army to at least 100000 men. At
present the army is on a footing of
$4,000 men,
To the general staff it has become
evident in the last two years that
10000 men aer too few properly to
garrison the posts at which it is ne
cessary to maintain an armed force.
These posts include the garrisons in
the insular possessions of America.
1t is also pointed out that consid-
cradle force will be required to gar
rison the Notifications at Pearl har-
Dor. in the Hawaiian islands. An i'm
mense amount of money is to be ex-
pended in the erection of these forth
fications, and it is the lpinion or
army officers that garrison of at
least 1000 men will have to be main
tanned there. Just now there are
approximately 10000 Japanese in the
Hawaiian islands. In the remote
event of a war between America and
japan and some other power with
which Japan is on friendly terms, it
would be impossible for the compare
lively small forces of United States
troops now in the Hawaiian islands to
preyent the landing of arms and am
munition to supply the Japanese in
tho islands

DAY OBSERVED
Throughout the Country With
Big Parades and Speeches.
W. ]. BRYAN AT CHICAGO
John Mitchell Spoke at Marion, Illinois.
Birmingham, Savannah and Atlanta
Had Big Celebration.

Birmingham, Ala.--Labor day in Bir-
mingham was unusually strenuous
this year. In addition to the great
picnic at Germania Park the crowds
in the city were increased enormous
ly by the reception rendered the first
train over the new Atlanta, Birming-
ham and Atlantic railroad; the open
ing of the national convention Of the
postoffice clerks, which is attended by
over 500 delegates, and the congress
sional district teachers institute, which
opened with teachers attending from
four counties. While the crowds were
the largest seen since the confederate
reunion no disorders of moment were
reported.
Marion, Ill.--John Mitchell, former
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America, addressed two thou
sand people at the Labor day celebra-
ton here. sMr Mitchell spoke of the
rapid advance of laboring classes and
denounced the idea that the rich are
growing richer and the poor poorer.
He said that recently he had had
political ambition, but had abandoned
all aspirations in that direction. He
spoke highly of the judiciary, but crit
icised its course in some injunction
cases.
Atlanta, Ga-This city was wholly
in the hands and in keeping of work
ing men of this section of the state
on Monday From every county i'll
the congressional district working
men came to take part in the day 5
exercises, and along with the me-
chanic came the farmer, the agricul-
turist being as much enthused over
the prospects of the day as his fellow
producer, who has long been looking
with pleasant anticipation from one
Labor day to another.
Never before has Atlanta seen a
larger or more thoroughly organized
body move through the streets. 1t
would require a well-trained military
body to surpass the work of the UNI
ions. There is not working force
in Atlanta that was not represented
in that line of march.
Chicago, Ill.--Organized labor Mon
day paid tribute to William j. Bryan.
Although it was labor day, it soon be-
came manifest that the workers had
surrendered their privilege and made
it Bryan day. Within an hour after
his arrival in the city the democratic
candidate for president, standing on
the balcony Of the Auditorium hotel,
received the plaudits Of thousands Of
toilers as they marched by. in the mon
ster labor parade. The air was rent
with cheers, and the enthusiasm was
unbounded.
Savannah, Ga.-Thirty floats, two
scores of labor unions, detachments
of police and fire department, with
many carriages made up the most
elaborate parade as part Of La
Dor day celebration Savannah has
seen in many years, fling for many
miles through the city streets.
The city enjoyed its general holt
day, the parade being followed by a
series of athletic events at Tybee,
where some creditable records were
made by local athletes. The games all
had a long list of entries.

San Bernardino, Cal--Archie L.
Banks, a prominent resident of Phil
adelphia, was saved from instant
death by William Rogers of New
York, in a most remarkable manner
in the mountains near here.
A party Of four-James Archer Of
London, William Rogers and Robert
Shea Of New York and Mr.. Banks
were riding on one Of the slopes on
the San Bernardino.
Banks horse slipped and he rolled
down an embankment toward prec-
ipice. At the very brink he grapsed
a small bush, which was about to give
way under the strain, when there was
the swish of lasso and the imperiled
man found himself encircled by
rope, thrown with unerring aim by
Rogers. With the exception Of few
bruises and a sGyere nervous shock
Banks was uninjured.

SECRET PRICE IS FIXED
BY Farmers Union For Cotton
Crop of 10000.
PRESIDENT BARRETT TALKS
He Says Union Has Adopted Plans
Which Will Insure Prosperity to
Cotton Growers.

Fort Worth, Texas. The issue be-
tween the cotton producers Of Amer
lea as represented to the Trainers
staple was formally joined when the
national convention reached its deter-
mination with regard to selling price
and methods of marketing.
When President Barrett Of the Far
mers Union was asked for state
ment concerning the prospects for the
coming autumn as affected by action
taken, he said:
"We have formulated plans, which,
If followed closely, will insure the cot
ton growers of the south the most
prosperous year in their history. We
have learned from the experience of
the past few years. and you can as
sure the commercial interests Of the
south that the Farmers Union Is pre-
pared to do its part in guaranteeing
the material welfare Of the section for
the forthcoming twelve months.
Our rank and file now know their
strength and their weakness. They
are going to make the most of the
one, and be watchful of the other
If every member of this union does
not obtain a price for his cotton this
year commensurate with it's value and
his Iabors, it will not be because plans
have not been laid carefully, scrupu-
lousy and painstakingly to that end. 4
The adjustable scale Of prices fixed
for the crop of 10000, the concen-
tration of the power of disposition in
few hands, and the close alliance
with spinners, together with arrange
ments for withholding cotton from the
market in such quantities and at such
times as the situation dictates, all
conspire to place the plans of the
union on businesslike basis, 1t Is
the opinion of the highest officials OF
the union that the steps taken at the
convention this year will inaugurate
new era in the matter of securing
full money return for the backbone
crop of the southern states.
AS President Barrett expressed IT,
leach one of the many million people
In the south dependent upon the pro-
duction Of cotton in it's innumerable
phases will have reason to look with
gratitude on the wisdom Of the dele
gates to this convention before the
union shall have again been called
into annual session"
Much controversy, it is understood,
arose over the price to be fixed, one
faction favoring 10 cents and another
Ia cents. The discussion at times be-
came so heated and bitter that It was
feared the delegates would come to
blows, but President Barrett and 9th
er cool heads succeeded in allaying
threatened trouble When the matter
finally came to vote 12-cent mini
mum proposition was defeated, but
resolution was adopted providing that
the price fixed which could not be as
certained, shall be in force only for
thirty days, the national handling COM
mittee being empowered to raise or
lower it as the size of the crop then
seems to Justify.

Roosevelt, will end his vacation at
