Even fool is capable of seeing an
other mans folly.
You needn't be afraid.

One day lady who had been reared
in the careful luxury of the old-fashioned
Virginia home was invited to visit the
kitchen of great Chicago hotel. She
wanted to go, but was afraid When
asked why, she replied, I'm afraid III
see something that will forever destroy
my appetite for hotel food" She went,
and found everything delightfully."- clean.
Good housewives consider cleanliness
and purity first of all; that's why Quaker
Oats is their choice among all oatmeals.
In making Quaker Oats the grain is
s;fted and resifted, passing through more
than fifty processes of cleaning before it
is cooked and rolled
If YOU took handful of oats and
scrubbed and polished and wiped each
separate grain, it wouldn't then be nearly
as clean as Quaker Oats. No human
hand ever touches single grain of
Quaker Oats from the field to your
kitchen. The best advice on foods you
could have is Eat Quaker Oats every
morning for breakfast.
This wonderful food is sold in three
kinds of packages. The regular package
at 10c. The large size family package
at 25c. and the large size family package
containing, fine piece Of table china
at 30c.

II this afternoon be fair and the
early part of the night cloudless In
the east, Montgomerians Will witness
the total lunar eclipse in all It's glory.
The moon will rise eclipsed In Mont
gomery, so the early phases will not
be witnessed. The moon will rise IN
Montgomery about o'clock, and the
total eclipse of the body will be seen
at it's middle about $3.50 o'clock. The
total shadow will remain on the moon
about twenty-five minutes. but the en-
tire shadow will not have passed on
before 10 o'clock.
Otis Ashmore, in The Savannah News
says of the eclipse:
TT Is well known, of course, that
lunar eclipse is caused by the moon
passing through the shadow OF the
earth This shadow extends into space
about three times the distance OF the
moon, and at the moons distance It's
diameter Is about three times that OF
the moon itself, so that. If 1t so hap
pens that the moon plunges centrally
through this shadow, about four hours
are required for the passage. Ini ms
rarely happens. however, for the moon
orbit Is inclined about five degrees to
the plane of the earth's orbit, and the
moon in Its revolution around the earth
does not always pass through the
shadow.
THE moon Is a dark body with no
light Of its own, and but for the re-
flected light of the sun 1t would be
quite invisible. One curious clrcum-
stance OF a lunar eclipse is that while
the moon is entirely. enveloped In the
earth's shadow, 1t may still be seen as
a dull copper-coiored globe. Natural
~ one might ask the cause of this
since the moon has no light of its own,
and In the shadow OF the earth II Is
supposed to be cut or from the sun
direct light The explanation lies In
the fact that those rays OF the sun
which pass through the earth's atmos-
phere have the violet, indigo and blue
elements absorbed, and the remaining
strong red rays, struggling through the
thick air. are refracted inward to-
wards the axis of the shadow, and laii
upon the moon, thus impartns 10
dull red color.
An eclipse Of the moon affords one
evidence Of spherical shape OF the eartn
IN the circular form of It's shadow up
on the moon, and this Will be clearly
evident upon this occasion.
Fcelipses Are UsefuIs iWssia
Eclipses were formerly looked upon
With a suuerstftious dread, but since

APPLY FOR! EXEMPTION
FROM FOREST TAXES

Applications were made yesterday to
the State Tax Commission by Frank
Matlock, OF Mobile. and Howard Doug
lass, of Washington county, for the ex-
emption of several thousand acres Of
forest land from taxation. Such .
privilege was extended owners Of tim
Der tracts by a statute enacted at the
last session of the Legislature which
created the Forestry Commission Of
Alabama.
The provisions of the law which
have to be met are numerous but II
is stipulated that the land shall not
be worth more than IS per acre, and
that 1t shall be protected against fire.
Also, there must be cut from the land
no timber but 1t shall be allowed to
grow, or If there Is no timber thereon
timber culture must be undertaken.
While in the city these timbermer
said that they favored the institution
of a general State fire patrol in Ala
bama for the preservation of forests
It would be proposed to have the pa
troll system established through the
use of the game and fish wardens Of
the county. Such a proposition might
be preached in the extra session cal
of Governor Conner. though, as 4

CONFERENCE OVER STATE
ENCAMPMENT PLANS

With the conference which Adjutant
General Bib Graves Ia known to have
held yesterday In the Capitol with
Col. G. r.. Broken. OF the End Ala
bama Regiment. and Col. j. G. Huh
bard, of the LIST Alabama Regiment,
Alabama National Guard, IL begins to
looks as IL fnai rprepaEatiops are being
made for the summer encampments of
the infantry. It 10 very certain that
this was the subject OF their talk but
no Official dates or places have been
designated
Therefore, 1t cannot be said that
Montgomery is to be the camping
ground of these soldiers. 1t may be
safely stated, however, that II Mont
gomery doesn't get the encampments
the signs Of the time will fail. It Is
believed that these two regiments will
go together, wherever they pitch their
tents, and that the ard Infantry will
go to Admission or the vicinity thereof.
1t Is understood that rifle practice
and competition was also mentioned In
yesterdays conference. General Graves
does not fail to boost this feature Of
the guard service when the chance
comes his way. 1t Is settled, as pre-
dicted In The Advertiser nearly a
month ago, that the State rifle meet
will be held on the local range, adj
jacent to the Pickett Springs car line.
ALI companies are being urged to send
their best shots here for the tourna-
ment, which, as announced, begins
June 81 and winds up June rs.
The rifle shoot here will be prep
aratory to the international shoot
which again will take place at Camp
Perry, Ohio. in August next. Alabama
marksmen Of the guard are showing
more interest this year than ever and
they are determined to send a team
to Camp Perry which will grace the
records Of the State. Ample ammuni-
ton is being supplied the various COM
panies and there Is no reason why the
young militiamen should not score IN
flattering style.
The practices here open up early

pected that the men will arrive on

places. and especially the positions of
ships at sea, and in correcting astron-
omical tables upon which important
calculations are based.
When 1t Is considered that the moon
is one of the most irregular of all the
heavenly bodies, being acted upon by
so many varying forces, the accuracy
with which It's position in space can be
computed for years to come is indeed
remarkable. For instance, the calcu-
lations for this eclipse for this latitude
were made more than three years ago,
and the verifcations of the results by
actual observation may be confidently
expected within four or ave seconds OF
error, or even less.
There will be another total eclipse Of
the moon on November a. Of some what
longer duration than the present one,
all the phases of which will be visible
here. 1t will occur, however, after
midnight. There will be no eclipse of
the sun visible here during this year.

During the latter part OF the year
Halley's comet. the most remarkable IN
the history of such bodies, IN expected
to make its appearance. It will not be
seen to the best advantage, however,
till about May l, 1910. This comet re-
turns to us about every seventy-five or
seventy-six years, and Its returns r&ly
be traced back for more than 2,000
years. It Is certain to create q sensa-
ton throughout the world. as 1t has
always done upon the occasions Of its
visits, but as modern astronomy has
shown that its orbit does not intersect
that of the earth, all feelings Of dam
ger or dread may be dismissed, for 1t
cannot strike the earth. though 1T will
be a grand spectacle for several weeks.

Among the three decisions that the
