hat the Act # 1905, creating a

As the attorney general is sup

PREPARING For a Journey.

Jerome X. Jerome recalled with rev.
erence a habit of. his methodical uncle,
who. before packing for. a journey, al
ways made a list" This was the
system which he followed, gathered
from his uncle's own lips:
Take a piece Of paper and put down
on it everything you can possibly re-
quire. Then go over it and see that
it contains nothing you can possibly
do without.
Imagine yourself in bed What have
you got on? Very we'll; put it down.
together with a change. You get up.
What do you do: Wash yourself.
What do you wash yourself with?
Soap. Put down soap. 60 on till You
have finished. Then take your clothes.
Begin at your feet What do you wear
on your feet? Boots. shoes, socks.
Put them down. Work up till you get
to your head What do you want be-
sides clothes? Put down everything.
This is the plan the old gentleman
always pursued. The list made, he
would go over it carefully to see that
he had forgotten nothing. Then he
would 60 over it again and strike out
everything it was possible to dispense
with Then he would lose the list.

COTTONSEED OIL.

In tnese days when so much is being
said about the purity OF food products,
and the healthfulness Of different foods,
it is refreshing to hear what the great
authority, Dr.. Wiley, has to say about
cottonseed oil and its products.
The quotation given is from an ad.
dress DR.. Wiley made before the Inter
state Crushers' Association in New York
last June:
You have a meritorious article, You
have learned how to purify it and make
1t palatable and attractive, and you
have everything now but the confidence
of the public and the knowledge on the
part OF the consumer how to use your
product. Put little effort in that line
and you will see what wonderful re
turns you will have. I do not believe
there is man, woman or child in Thu
country, if the consumption OF cotton
seed oil was common today Throughout
this broad land, but what would have
better health and be q better Judge o
what is good to eat, and be happier, b,
reason of his better health, than he i
today, SO am pleading for the benef
of the public, | am pleading for
wider publicity of your product, TO
cottonseed oil as a human food"

CATHOLIC FEDERATION.
Propaganda for Worldwide Organi.
cation to Restore Temporal King
dom to Pope.

Rome, Sept. 1S.-From high Vati-
can authorities it was learned today
that propaganda is under way for
the organization Of a worldwide inter.
national Catholic federation, the primary
object OF which will be the successful
consummation of the forty-year fight
to secure for the Holy See an indie
pendent temporal kingdom similar to
that possessed prior to the uniication
of Italy in 1870. 1t is the belief OF
the hackers that With 230,000,00O
Catholics throughout the entire world
aiding, sufficient pressure can be
brought to bear to force Italy to grant
the church's demands. The proposed
kingdom would include the Vatican
and st. Peters, and might extend to the
western coast.

cOUNTY's GOVERNMENT.
Committee Appointed by Board OF
Supervisors Of Alexandra County
Makes Report. -

Several months ago the Board OF
Isunaryisors OF Alexandria county ap-
no,nted a committee OF Well-known
citizens to make report on new
! form of government for the county and
this committee placed the matter in the
hands of a subcommittee consisting Of
Frank Lyon, R. c. L. Moncure and B.
Gordon Finney which has just made a
report.
After makinga thorough inVestiga-
| ton the committee finds that there con
be no commission form of government
but that the county can be incorporated.
II thi, was done the county would be
divided into wards, and there would be
mayor and two branches OF the city
council the same as 10 Alexandria city.
They think, however, that all the
best interest OF the county would be
preserved by increasing the powers OF
the Board OF Supervisors and upon this
point make the following report:
The constitution seeks to leave the
General Assembly with ample authori-
ty to confer upon said board all powers
necessary to provide the county with
substantially a modern and effective
form OF government. BY general laws
it may confer legislative powers upon
the board, and by special laws it may
confer such powers directly upon Alex
andria county as are strictly local and
special in their character. Your SUBJ
committee believes the General Assem-
bly,, for instance, may confer upon the
Board Of Supervisors authority to reg
ulate the laying out OF subdivisions
throughout the county; may authorize
the board to do this through the ap-
pointment OF subordiuates to carry
into effect these provisions OF law; it
may authorize the board to borrow
money for the purpose OF carrying on
any public improvement, such as the
laying OF sidewalks, building of roads,
building OF sewers, installation Of water
works, etc., etc. Your subcommittee
sees nothing in the constitution to pro-
hibit the creation OF police and fire
department by the Board Of Supervisors
although the court now has authority |
to appoint special police, who, ifprop- |
erly paid, for all practical purposes
could perform all the duties that re-
gular city department performs.
Broadly speaking, your SUBJ commlt-
tee believes that the general assembly
could confer upon the Board OF Super
visors all the power necessary to give
county an efficient form OF
government.
Briefly summarized, your snb-com-
mittee reports:
/. Under existing law there may
not be q commission form OF govern
nsnt.
2. The county may be incorporated |
- whole, which would in effect in
crease the number of members of the
Board of Supervisors, and their powers
would be little, if any broader or more
effective than may now be conferred
by law upon the board, as at present
8. The powers of the Board of Super
risors may be Immediately enlarged by
the action eff the General Assembly.
In conclusion, your committee calls
to the threat ever hanging
over the county that unless it be incor-
porated, portions thereof will be annex
ed to the city of Alexandria upon proper
and showing"

REPORT OF VISITING NURSE.

The report OF the visiting nurse fol-
August shows 215 visits made during
that month. When one compares this
report with that for the first month,
when only 81 visits were paid, the
need for such work in Alexandria
speaks for itself.
During the month such patients as
have needed eggs, ice and milk have
been supplied from the fund 80 gen.
orally given for that purpose. Sheets
and gowns have been loaned when
necessary; although the loan closet is
we'll stocked there are many things
still needed and it is hoped these will

corporation are rapidly being WOUND
UP by the receivers and it is though
that they will shortly have sufficien
money in hand to warrant the payment
OF another dividend. The total amount
due the creditors is about $685.. 600 and
a twenty per cent dividend will require
about $1OS, 900. The receivers have q
considerable sum of money in hand re-
naming from the last dividend and il
is thought that the commissioners ap-
pointed by the court to sell the real es
tate of the trust company. including

and personal property of Mr.. Rixey at
Culpeper on October third and fourth.
