Noted Authority Gives a Simple
Prescription.
TELLS now TO TAKE

Now is the time when the doctor
gets busy, and the patent medicine
manufacturers reap the harvest, un-
less great care is taken to dress
warmly and keep the feet dry. This
is the advice of an old eminent au-
thority, who says that rheumatism
and Kidney trouble weathers is here,
and also tells what to do in case of an
attack.
Get from any good prescription phar-
macy one-half ounce Fluid Eetract
Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar-
gon, three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsapalilla. Mix by shaking in bot
tie and take teaspoonful after meals
and at bedtime.
Just try this simple homemade
mixture at the first sign OF Rheuma-
tism, or if your back aches or you
feel the kidneys are not acting Just
right. This is said to be splendid
kidney regulator, and almost certain
remedy for all forms of Rheumatism,
which is caused by uric acid in the
blood, which the kidneys fail to filter
out. Any one can easily prepare this
at home and at small cost.
Druggists in this town and vicinity,
when shown the prescription, stated
that they can either supply these in
gradients, or, if our readers prefer,
they will compound the mixture for
them.

Army and Navy News

The naval transport Buffalo viii
leave Mare Island about April Is for
Manila via Honolulu. She is expected
to carry a draft of men for the third
squadron of the Pacific feet at Manila
as well as supplies. As far as known
here the Buffalo will not bring any
reinforcements to the marine guard
now stationed at Camp Very.
Lieut.. Lewis on Leave.
Lieut.. Lewis, Fifth Cavalry, Leile-
hua cantonment, has been granted
three months leave of absence, and
may leave for the mainland on the next
transport.
Exchange Of Veterinarians.
It is rumored from Leilehua that
Veterinary Surgeon Vans Agnew may
be relieved at Leilehua soon and sent
to Yellowstone Park for duty, and that
he will be succeeded at the cantonment
by Veterinary Surgeon Lawrence, who
came here recently with the remainder
of the Fifth s troop mounts and the
polo ponies. DR.. Lawrence met with
an accident some time ago while play
ing polo in the Army and had the mis-
fortune to lose one Of his limbs. He
is very active officer for all that.
His retention in the Army is similar
to the action in the case of Major
Harry Leonard, Marine Corps, who lost
formed two brave deeds on the field of
battle before receiving the wound
which did so much damage. Major
Leonard passed through Honolulu on
his return from the China expedition.
He has been stationed at Washington
almost continually since and mainly at
the White House as an attache.
Dropped From the Service.
S. F. Call--Much surprise was ex-
pressed at the Preside when it was
announced that Lieutenant Edward L.
Rains, Twentieth Infantry, U. S. A.
had been dropped from the service
for desertion.
Rains was well known at Monterey,
where he served until a year ago,
when he went to Providence, r. l., to
take charge Of the recruiting office
there. He disappeared December s
without saying word to any of his
friends in Providence as to his move
ments.
The War Department was notified
and search was made from every post
in the United States, but Rains could
not be found In accordance with
Army regulations he was allowed nine
ty days absence, but failing to report
at the end of the period he was dropped
from the service.
While stationed on the coast he was
considered a ssgay young blood and
was favorite with the fair SEX 1t
was thought at the Preside that gay
life in the East might have been a
tax on his Army pay, which was $4,000
a year.
Rains entered the service as prl-
vate in Battery X, Sixth Artillery,
April IA, 1898, and on December 2,
1903. was made first lieutenant and
appointed to the Twentieth Infantry.
He was graduate of Montgomery Bell
academy, Nashville, Tenn, and thirty
three wears old.

Football Injury a Valid Claim.

The judge advocate general has
given decision on the question
whether certain medical services in the
case of a sergeant of the S3rd Com
pany, Coast Artillery Corps, who play
ed on the football team from Fort
Revere last fall at bingham, Mass,
and was fatally injured constituted a
valid claim against the United States.
AS the soldier was under the command
of the sergeant major at the time and
the game was a part of the athletics
required by the regulations, the judge
advocate general held that the duty
status of the man sustains the neces-
sity of the services and payment is
required.

Improving Army Bullet.

1t has been decided to make a slight
change in the form of the Army rifle
bullet. The bali is to be cannelured
perhaps quarter of an inch from
the base, the cannelure being cut
slightly less than onesixteenth of an
inch deep. The purpose of the change
is to afford cannefure to engage the
metal cartridge case, which, it has
been found, shows a tendency to yield
to pressure in storage. The eannelure
ammunition has been thoroughly tried
out at the school Of mnsketry, and the
reports on it are all favorable to the
proposed modification. The new am
munition does not affect the accuracy
of fire, and is believed to avoid as
much as is practicable the difficulty Of
fouling.

Some of the strong men of to-day

Many of them received

Status of Tommy Dunn.
The Attorney General has informed

opinion paymaster IS clerk in the navy
is an officer of the navy within the
meaning of the law of May 10, 1908,
providing for the retirement of naval
officers after thirty years service on
three-quarters pay The Attorney Gen
eral says that paymasters clerks
form part of the naval force. and
IT they are both officers and a part
of the navy it seems impossible to
avoid the conclusion that they are of
fcers of the navy for the purposes
of the act Of 1908. =

CITY CLERK COULD
 NOT BE PRESENT
COUNCIL MEETING SET FOR LAST NIGHT HAD TO BE POSTPONED UNTIL THIS MORNING AT ii O'CLOCK.

There was no mseting of the City Council last night.
 After the aldermen had gathered and had remained in the council cham Der for several minutes Harry Jones, president of the council, announced that owing to the unavoidable ab- sence of the city clerk, it would be impossible to hold the meeting.''
 The understanding is that on ac- count of the fact that the absent clerk had in his possession all the records of the several committee meetings, to transact business last night was impos- sibIe.
 President Jones stated that the reg ular meeting would be deferred until this morning at II o'clock. He urged the aldermen to attend promptly.
 There is comparatively little business to come before the board, and the ses- sion this morning at II o'clock is ex- pected to be short.

LEADERS MEET TO
 TALK THINGS OVER
GREAT PLANS ARE MADE FOR MISSION CAMPAIGN WHICH IS TO GET UNDER WAY LATER IN THE YEAR.

The general committee of the Presby- terian laymens movement met yesterday afternoon at o'clock in identically the same rooms of the Florence hotel where a year ago last May they organized the movement. which has since grown to al- most unexpected proportions.
 There were Al of the leading business men of the south around the board. The most of the time during the meal was taken up with discussions of the plans of the movement, which include this fall a big campaign across the continent waged in most of the large es by the best speakers of the country organizing for systematically financing the missionary enterprise.
 The committee now employs two active secretaries and will take on another shortly as the work Is becoming too large. The movement does not handle any of the funds, but they are all turned over to the Presbyterian committee and handled as carefully as possible.
 At the meeting a large subscription was taken, several big men in the church giv- ing enormous sums, But these were not made public. The meeting was quite an enthusiastic one and will result in many good things for the church at a later time.

WHAT CHURCH IS DOING
President of Laymen's Movement Among Methodists Will Attend Banquet To Be Given at Hill
 man Tomorrow Night.

John R. Pepper of Memphis presi- dent of the Laymen's Missionary movement of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, reached Birmingham yesterday afternoon and is at the HilI- man. Mr Pepper comes here from Jackson. Tenn, where he addressed on Wednesday night the western sec tion of the Bankers association of Ten nessee. He came here on a fraternal visit to the Presbyterian Laymen's Missionary conference as well as to address the Methodist Laymen tomor- row morning, and attend the Methodist laymen's banquet to be given at the Hillman tomorrow night
 Tomorfow morning at the First Meth odist church MT. Pepper will address the Methodist laymen of Birmingham and the North Alabama conference. The laymen of other churche es and the ladies are invited to these meetings.
 Mir. Pepper hopes to reach during his stay in Birmingham, every district leader. every church leader and the busy Iaymen of the Methodist church. MT. Pepper says that the movement in the Methodist Episcopal church, south, really started at Chattanooga last April, where there wnrs 200 lay men in a conference for three days. A plan of organization was adopted, which provided for leader for each of the 39 annual conferences for each of the 270 districts, and for each church. The 39 conference leaders have been elected; 220 of the districts have been organized and over 5000 of the indiv- ual churches have taken up the work. The Chattanooga conference decided to increase the foreign missionary col lections so as to reach this year $1,- GOO, 900. Twenty-one of the annual con- ferences have either agreed to take their share more and already have pledged an increase of $2S,5o0 over last year. The Holsten conference of Tennessee has pledged itself to raise S50,OOO to carry on the work in Corea.
 Each of the 39 conferences was vis- ited last fall by MT. Pepper, MT. Stubbs, who is the general secretary, or some one representing them. The movement is said to be taking hold of the men throughout the church and the day seems not far distant when practically the entire half million of men in the church will be engaged iA this work
 It is proposed ultimately to raise $3, ,0O0, 900 for missions to support 1900 missionaries and to evangelize within this generation the 40 ,OO0,O00 assigned and accepted by the church,

 Cheered To the Echo.
 The peroration of the bold Sir Bedivere was cheered to the echo. and while the nobles drank of ale which flowed in the Garden of Eden, and in which the queen of the fig leaf brigade was wont to dip her feet unchallenged, Proprietor Nabb, in his warm -blooded style and heartiest man. ner served luncheon. After partaking thereof daintily-for where was the noble who did not anticipate the feast that was yet to come ?-Zamora lodge was entered, it's doors closed and the tortures of the in- quisition begun.
 While no official statements were made by those in authority, whose positions warrant them to speak with a certain de- gree of accuracy, it is alleged that in the temple there was much doing between the hours of and Il o'clock. A tramp situ- ated on the roof of the temple, in fact, testified that he was disturbed in his noe- turnal nap-takng by the cries of dis tress, which, he stated, emanated in a continuous and untamed stream from the inside. This bedraggled gentleman added to his statement that while peeping through a crack he saw some IS or 20 young men led across the sands which blistered the feet and subjected to other indignities which shocked, paralyzed and rendered the witness bereft of his intel lect to the extent that he cried aloud in his amazement There was an instan- taneous cessation of the cruel punishments and shortly afterward the nobles filed out with chattering tongues, with songs that eheered and laughter that shook the ground they trod upon.
 Banquet Last Night.
 The banquet last night at the Hillman was an elegant affair, served as it was around a table that groaned with it's bur- der of sweets and dellcacies The entire ballroom floor was filled to it's capacity, and the atmosphere for miles around was surcharged with outbursts of eloquence, hearty and uproarous peals of laughter, shouts that disturbed the quietude of Montgomery, and fell with a familiar sound on the ears of the wideawake At lanta. Noble Rushton was toastmaster, and he withheld on the one hand and en- couraged with the other in such wisdom that he will probably be called elsewhere to serve in similar capacities
 After the banquet (there is no official statement which denotes the hour the banquet was adjourned) the Atlanta nobles, with praise of Birmingham on their tongues, were escorted to their wait ing special. This they boarded and be- gan the return trip homeward.
