At Meeting Of Commercial Ciub To- night Gsaeral Election of Ofn- Rers WiIi Take Placc-No
 z Nhnes Yet.

Who Is to be president of the Mont Eomery Commercial Club? is aues- ton the business men of the city are asking each other today. Major A. c !. Forbes under whose management { the club has turned from local in- Formation bureau to the most widely known and successful institution of it's Kind In the South, has expressed him. self as not being willing again to assume the leadership of the club. His 1ecision is said to be irrevocable and the officers of the institution are wrestiiug with the problem of who Is to take his place,
 The question Is not of available men; there are other live wires in Montgomery but finding such a man who is patriotic and public spirited enough to sacrifice time from their own undertakings to devote to the general welfare. Is giving the selec- tors of names to be proposed a busy time indeed.
 Of course the secretaryship. which is selective, Is not under considera- ton. That position Is open to but one man as long as he wants it. the direc- tors say.
 It h also believed that there will be an increase in the number of vice presidents and possible changes and an increase In the board of directors. The puzzling work is not so much in finding new men, but inducing incum- bents to stand pat. An increase In fhe executive department Is said to be a f0regone conclusion. The vast amount of work the club has under taken, and the rapidly growing mem- bership roll make 6 larger executive fierce imperative.
 The club is on a firmer basis than f& has been since its existence, 1t Is out of debt and the one question now Is not how to increase the member ship. but who else shall be allowed to soin
 The election will be held in the club rooms at the annual meeting to- night.
 The present official family of the Commeroial Club is composed of, the Following named men:
 President, A. c. Forbes; Vice Presi- dents, F. P. Glass, F. P. Chaffee. Alex Rice: Secretary. c. Grosvenor Dave; Treasurer, E. Meertief; Direc- tors, F. S. Ball. J. c. Haas, George " Jones. J. M. Kennedy, o. o. Nell ann, F. C.. Stevenson. George A |. 1hcniaa, John T. Walker. c. G. t<SE&2%4

DEEP SEATED COUGH
CURED IN ' HOURS. New Hons-Msss syrup. (cut This out.)
 From nestsn Press.

Progress in medical compounds nsVer ceases, and now 1t Is Istated by prom inent medical man that any deep-seat- ed cough or cold on the lungs can be actually cured in five hours by the clock. Opium and morphine have been resorted to In the past, as relief meas ures. But now it is learned that the system must be treated to rid 1t of in- fiammation and congestion. tonic laxative cough syrup does the work so quickly and thoroughly as to be almost magical. What heretofore has taken weeks to cure can be accomplished In hours. Get this formula filled or mix 1t at home and always keep if on hand: One ounce fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce compound essence car- dbl and three ounces syrup white pine compound. Shake the bottle and take twenty drops every half hour for four hours. Then take one-half to one tea- spoonful three or four times . day un- til the system Is purified and toned up. Give children less according to age. One filling will usually euro . whole family. as the dose Is small.

PECAN CULTURE
Desirable Qualities in the Ideal Nut for Commercial
Purposes Well as Home Use.
By Thomas Thomas

medium sized ones will sell for higher
price than the mammoth hollow Shells
My ideal nut is one weighing sixty to
the pound, round in shape, the shell
mere film which can be easily cleaned
and of the sweetest flavor, nut of brown
color with dashes of black at the apex.
To be prolific tree should bear a full
crop every year, barring the insects. 1t
should produce many catkins or male
blooms. These should be numerously
present among only the leaves and female
blooms, but hanging leaves grow. On
every tip of new growth there should be
cluster of seven or more female
blooms. Most all Of the very large va
rieties have only three to five female
blooms in cluster and the catkins are
so scarce that only partial pollenization
takes place. [ have a tree so prolific
that a photo of it shows five clusters of
seven nuts each and the clusters are so
close together that they all may be COW
cred by the span of the hand. This tree
has bloomed and set twenty one con-
secutive crops and if it had not been for
the insects would have matured them
while all the others in the same orchard
of about 500 trees have failed to bloom
or set nuts except about every other
year and some. trees only once in every
three or four years.
1t adds much to the value of the tree
if it is a rapid grower, precocious and
tenacious of life. The bud growth is
precocious as it never fails to produce
nuts the second year after insertion. 1t
is tenacious of life, for any bud on the
twig from base to the tip will grow al
most as readily as the other and they
will live in any species of the carya
family.

rate and classify the horticultural va
rieties. The ripe fruit of the best va
rieties have a flavor that reminds one
of a nice ripe canteloupe, and like that
fruit makes a delicious breakfast dish
that most people become very fond of.
The green fruits of all varieties are used
in making preserves. These have no
very decided flavor of their own, but by
the addition of spices and ffavors or
small quantity Of a strongly favored
fruit, are made into delicious "dulces."
The seed for planting should be taken
from thoroughly ripe fruits of good
quality and size, the pulpy covering re-
moved from the seed, which are planted
about three-fourths of an inch deep in
prepared bed where the young plants
can be given good care. When large
enough, say eight to twelve inches high,
they should be transplanted to the field.
Six feet apart each way will give plenty
of room for most varieties.
Sometimes the seed are planted where
the tree is wanted, but this method is
not recommended.
While the pistillate fowered bear the
fruit, some staminate fowered ones
should be left for pollenization. 1t is
even said that the sex of the staminate
fowered ones can be changed so that
they will bear some fruit by cutting and
beating and otherwise abusing the trees.
A valuable side product is obtained
by making incisions in, the skins of the
green fruits while on the tree from
which a milky juice exudes, which when
dried and prepared is powerful digest
i've agent and brings high price.

Redhot Poker Plant.

This member of the lily family comes
given to it, such as torch lily, flame
flower, etc. It is one of the showiest
plants for decorative service in summer
and autumn on the lawn, in border and
among shrubbery.
The red-hot poker plant, once seen,
will not be forgotten. The leaves are
sword shaped, two or three feet long, of
a dark, shiny green. On stem varying
from eighteen inches to six feet in
length, according to variety, is borne a
crowded cylindrical spike of perhaps a
hundred dropping blossoms, tubular, an
inch or more in length of fiery red, tipped
with orange or green
Of the hardy varieties the best known
and most extensively cultivated is Kni
phofia aloides. The leaves are long, mar
row and toothed. Numerous variations
of this are in cultivation, grandifora be-
ing tall, with more snowy green leaves
and longer flower spikes. Saundersil
often has spikes ten inches long.
X. Pfitzeri is an excellent variety,
blooming freely and early. Triumph
has very large spikes of saffron yellow,
shaded with orange, while in tri-color
the flowers change to sulphur white.
These plants may be propagated by
taking off the rooted suckers thrown
up from the roots. This should be done
about once in three years, shifting and
dividing the roots and fertilizing the
soil. They prefer light, sandy soil, to
which may be added dressing of well
rotted manure.

FRUTA DE BOMBA.
A Fruit That Is Worthy of Attention
in Florida

in Florida.
Botanically known as "Carica papa
ya,' this is one of the many neglected
tropical fruits of great value and prom
ise which should be better known. It
can be grown without trouble where
there is no frost and farther north by
giving protection during the winter.
1t is grown to some extent in Cuba
for the local markets and home use but
is not exported.
The Experiment Station of Hawaii
has made successful shipment of this
fruit, under refrigeration, as far as Chi
cago, showing that with proper care it
will bear shipping long distances and
arrive in good condition.
The trees are easily grown and usually
begin to bear fruit in less than year
from seed. They reach height of from
six to twelve feet but seldom branch
While they de will on almost any good
land, they respond readily to rich soil
and good care.
There are many varieties and many
different shapes and sizes of fruits, va
rying from small, round ones not over
three inches in diameter to large ones,
six to eight inches in diameter and six
teen to eighteen inches long.
Little has been done as yet to sepa-
