FOND OF DOGS.
Queen Alexandra Has Finest Kennel
in England

London. November 2O.-(Special THE
very first thing which Queen Alexandra
did when she arrived at Sandrinpbam
after her prolonged holiday. was to visit
her Kennels. There are now about three
hundred highly bred dogs in the kennels.
and the most recent additions are three
snow-white Samoyede sledge dogs which
at once attracted the attention of Lieu
tenant Shackleton OF South Polar fame
when he visited the King at his Norfolk
home
These dogs with polar discussions in
the air. are likely to become the rage.
They are the handsomest of the Esqui-
mau breeds and extremely intelligent.
The Queen now possesses the finest
Borzois hounds in the world. and one OF
these dogs invariably accompanies her
on her country walks Her spaniels arc
not so valuable as those of the Duchess
of Newcastle, but she generally manages
to obtain first prizes at most of the big
dog shows.
Some of the smaller dogs are fed by
the Queen personally every day, but tho
large animals are left to the kennel
keepers. The Queen was delighted with
the additions and alterations carried out
by the King during her absence, one OF
his majesty's surprises" being a charm
ing writing room where his guests can
get through their correspondence without
any formalities
A special suite of rooms has been set
apart for the Empress Dowager of Rus

month, and King Haakon of Norway will
be In residence at Appleton House, which
is in the grounds of Sandringhem.

To the Men of Alabama;
For years women of your state worked
and prayed for the overthrow of the
liquor traffic in Alabama, and they were
willing helpers In securing local and
state prohibition, and 1t may not be amiss
for one of them to present a woman s
view of the situation In Alabama of the
constitutional amendment, to state few
facts and make an appeal.
Alabama women know that in the
struggle now going on in Alabama over
the amendment the liquor traffic is TAX

liquor drinkers in allowing soft drink

new laws, and prohibition strengthened

they believe that constitutional prohibi-

will soon follow. will prove the surest
and best protection from the law-defying
and destructive liquor traffic.
Having pinned their faith to "constitu-
tional prohibition and taken their stand

undaunted by the jeers and SCOTS, the
misrepresentation and prosecutions of
the opposition, are fighting the home $
