 Notice, Chapter Historians.
 Pursuant to the order of the iats State Conference that 'it was moved and carried that the conference in- struct the State Historian to communi- cate with Chapter Historians res questing data for The American Month lyf Magazine, the editor now requests these officers to prepare such data in regard to their chapters. that a regu- lar monthly report may be made, and published in the official magazine, thus calling attention to the patriotic work being done in Alabama.
 Editor of D. A. R. Official Organ: I have just been informed that al the recent D. A R. Ccnference held in Athens. Ala. some of the Chapter Regents reported that they had never received a copy of the Alabama D. A. R. hy-laws. As I was State Secretary at the time the bylaws were type-written and sent out I wish to make the following statement of the matter.
 In the summer of 1906 received a communication from the State Regent Mrs. { Morgan Smith. saying: Please have fourteen copies of our State by- laws made--typa-written or mimeo. graphed---and send a copy to each of the following Regents:
 Mrs. A. c. Smith. Birmingham. Ala; Mrs. George ". Duncan, Auburn. Ala Mrs. F. P. Glass, Montgomery, Ala; Mrs. Phares Coleman, Montgomery Ala; Mrs. J. A. Hoffman. Athens. Ala Mrs. IT. D.

 When I went to make arrangements to have this work done. found could have twenty copies type-written as cheapiy as fourteen. and would thereby have enough to send eech state officer as well as each chapter regent copy
 then sent copies of the bylaws tp the chapter regents mentioned in Mrs smith's letter. and also to the follow ing State offieers: Mra !. Morgan smith. state Regent; Mrs. A. F. Mo Clelian, Vice Regent; Mrs. Walter Rob. inson. Treasurer; Mrs. Rhstt 0oode, of Chaplain. Mrs. R. H. Carter, Histor ian.
 Out oz this number only Mrs. Glass Mrs. Clarke, Mrs. McNeel, Mrs. Bryce and Mrs. Morgan Smith acknowledged receiving the bylaws. But I naturally supposed they had all been received because I was most careful to put tn the left-hand corner of each envelope ''If not delivered in five days. return to Mrs. l.. ]. Haley. Birmingham. Ala
 As Uncle Sam is a most reliable mes senger. I feel sure the by-laws must have been delivered on the premises of each person adressed or they would have been returned to me.
 Possibly the ladies who were Regents at the Athens conference were not re- gents in 1906 when the bylaws were sent out and that Is why they received none. Yours truy.

GOOD HOME RECIPE

Mix This Simple, Helpful Recipe
at Home and Try 1t, Anyway.
Get from any prescription pharma-
cist the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake we'll in a bottle and take
teasponful dose after each meal and at
bedtime.
The above is considered as the most
certain prescription ever written to
relieve Backache, Kidney Trouble,
Weak Bladder and all sorts of Urinary
difficulties. This mixture acts prompt
ly on the eliminative tissues of the
Kidneys, enabling them to filter and
strain the uric acid and other waste
matter from the blood which causes
rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with the
affections, NAV not feel iuclined to
place much confidence in this simple
mixture, yet those who have tried it
say the results are simply surprising,
the relief being effected without the
slightest injury to the stomach or other
organs.
Mix some and give it a trial. It
certainly comes highly recommended.
1t is the prescription of an eminent
authority, whose ehtire reputation, it
is said, was established by it.
A druggist here at home, when asked
stated that be could either supply the
ingredients or mix the prescription for
our readers, also recommends it as
harmless.

Lemons For "Uncle Joe"

1t was real rude of those women of
st. Clair, Mo-, to throw lemons at
"Uncle Joe" Cannon while he was
making speech on the issues of the
day. Nevertheless We are surprised to
learn that "Uncle Joe," after sidestep-
ping the fusillade, INDUCED in language
that was little too warm for print.
He should have noted that the missiles
were lemons, not turnips or cabbages,
and as the lover Of a good joke he
should have accepted the contributions
in the spirit which evidently inspired
them.
The lemon has come to typify the
unpleasant defeat of happy hope Or
desire, and its significance is we'll un-
derstood throughout the country, al
though it's origin is too recent to give
it place in the glossaries of slang as
yet. A lemon in other words, is what
you get when the thing you get is the
opposite of what you expected or want
ed. Perhaps "Uncle Joe'' thought he
was to receive a shower of bouquets on
the occasion in question. A great
many people have expected, with great
reason, to secure certain legislation
from our lawmakers at Washington,
but what they actually have received
at times has been lemon.
We repeat, however, that it was de.
cidedly rude to throw those lemons at
the speaker. They might have been
handed to him gently.-Chicago Record.

the account of the dedication of the

on Oct. 25. The simple fact is that
Rev. O. G. Myhre. the pastor, never

a word of correspondence or communi'

it. We received in our regular way an
