One thing for which the See America First"
crusaders are working is to get the idea out OF
the minds of Americans that all sightseeing
must needs be done in the summer vacation
season, There are many classes of people,
take for instance, the farmers,--who IND II al

but who could very readily take trip In the
autumn or winter. Efforts are being made 10

The broad policy of the See America First"
movement calls upon its devotees to not only In
duce people to give New World scenery the pref
erence land Canada is of course included), but
also to do everything In their power TO make
travelling In America comfortable and to re-
duce the cost. Indeed, the claim that one may
travel more cheaply in Europe than in the
United States is one of the arguments invariably
advanced by people who argue for foreign travel
However, the greatest need of American tourist
regions is more good hotels,-not necessarily
high-priced fashionable hotels, but good. clean,
neatly-kept hostelries where the traveller who Ia
not a mult1millionaire may obtain wholesome
well-cooked food and a comfortable bed at
price that is not two or three times what his
earnings would be for the days labor IL he
were back home. There has been great Inn
provement in this direction In late years, but
there is plenty of room for further betterment-
Another need is lines of reasonable priced pub
lie coaches traversing regions not traversed by
the railroads and which in many instances are
now a closed book to people who cannot afford
the luxury of automobile Coaches such as
are operated in Yellowstone Park and on Gettys-

INTERCHANGE OF GRIM WIT
How General Sherman and Colonel
Watts Exchanged Flowers and
Newspapers at vicksburq.

An Interchange of grim wit between
colonel before the taking OF Vicks-
burg, which surrendered July 4, 1863,
is remembered in detail by one of the
persons present at the interview, Col.
H. r. Brinkerhoff, U. s. A, retired.
and late military treasurer of Porto
Rico, who was at that time a lieu
tenant in an Ohio volunteer regiment.
The incident, which he tells as fol-
lows, took place on the Mississippi
river a short distance above Vicks-
burg:
81 received permission to accompany
General Sherman to a meeting of the
flags that had been arranged for
certain hour. Our vessel steamed rap.
idly down the river from Young's
point, where our boats lay. We few
a great white flag at the masthead.
The vessel soon reached a point al
most opposite the upper shore batteries
and | had begun to indulge the hope
that We would be permitted to steam
down far enough to get a look at the
city, when suddenly a little cloud OF
white smoke curled up over one of the
rebel batteries and directly afterward
the boom of heavy gun came thun-
dering over the water. We stopped
and a rowboat came out from shore,
bringing our visitors, Colonel Watts,
the Confederate assistant commission
er of exchange, and an artillery Off
Ger.
After some business conversation
concerning the exchange of prisoners
the entire party entered into general
conversation. Colonel Watts and Gen
eral Sherman discussed the probable
results of the war. The discussion
became heated and Colonel Watts
changed the subject by opening a
package that he had brought with him
bouquet Of flowers.
"'There!' he exclaimed. General
Pemberton told me to give you these
flowers with his kind regards
General Sherman fastened to take
the bouquet and at once made an i'm
mense ado over it and held 1t In his
hand until the visitors had taken their
departure. In return, package OF
newspapers was given to the Confed-
crate officer.

The market for human skin is going to
pieces. Where IL once commanded $50
square inch up 1t bids fair to be soon just nu-
man skin with no value except to its original
possessor Heroic husbands, fathers, sons and
sweethearts who bravely let themselves be
stripped of their hides to cover some death
threatening gap on the bodies OF their beloved
may soon cease to have opportunity for such
devotion.
A little red powder one can get in any paint
store is astounding the surgeons with Its per-
formances as a substitute for the heroes and
their skins, the New York correspondent OF

Scarlet red is its name and dollars worth

It is mixed with vaseline or other components
as salve and applied to the edges of the gap

Hopkins In Baltimore, says almost as much,

Powder Grows Human Skin

He tells of scarlet red growing new skin at
the rate of three milHmeters in forty-eight
hours on one of his patients. His report on
its use in Johns Hopkins hospital, published in
a medical journal, did much to bring the
strange little aniline dye TO surgical notice
here and elsewhere.
It was taken up In the post graduate and
the German hospitals here last spring. Then
its use was experimental Now 1t is uniformly
used In every case where burns, wounds or
ulcers have stripped the epidermis from any
area of human body.
The results have been astonishing, even BAT.
fling" said Dr. F. William Steichmann OF the
post graduate, and also connected with the
German hospital.
There is just one thing about its use, how
ever that should be generally known" Dr.
Steichman said. Where surgeons In the dis
pensary have used 1t and applied the dress
ings the results have been marvellous. Where
patients have used 1t themselves the results
have been unsatisfactory"

MAKING READY TO
 INVEST PRINCE
Carnaryon Castle Is Being Extensive ly Altered For the
 Occasion

London. March .1S.-(Special)-Car won castle, where the first Prince of Wales was born in 12S4 is now under going extensive alterations and repairs in view of the investiture of the Prince of Wales there in July next.
 For some weeks officials of the office
 of works, which has control of the cas- tie, have been in Ca1narvon making usr-
 veys, and Sir Schomberg Mcdonnell,
 secretary of the office of works, recent
 ly met Mr. Lloyd George-who is the
 constable of the castle-in Carnarvon to
 discuss the necessary preparations for
 the ceremony.
 As a result of these preliminaries a large number of Horkmen. are engaged
 in the castle repairing, excavating and
 demolishing. The portions that are being
 demolished are modern and are not in
 keeping with the ancient character of
 the building, which was erected by Ed
 ward l.. The most important work of
 the demolition has teen at Queen Elean-
 or's Gate, where a great deal of modern
 masonry has been removed, exposing
 part of the structure which supported
 the drawbridge which was in use when
 the castle was occupied. The young
 prince will stand at this gateway and
 show himself to the multitude gathered below. iifs T ue ceTeIIlOuy UT lle iuNcsliiuiC VIII take place in the center of the castle opposite the main entrance, and great
 stage will be erected in tiers to accom-
 modate about 15,060 people. A prominent place will be allotted to a choir of 800, who will give a programme of English
 and Welsh music. A suite of rooms will be reserved in the castle for the royal party and will be lighted by electricity.
 Paths and passages are being concerted and the old worn-out steps leading to the main entrance will be replaced by
 new ones, which has done much injury, will be removed from the towers. It is probable that some old houses
 which were built under the shadow of the great Eagle Tower. where the first Prince of Wales is reputed to have been born and which obs.ruct one of the best views of the castle, will be acquired and demolished The whole expense of the
 alterations is being borne by the office of works.

 "So I understand" said Boggs; land for the time being neither of them ap- pealed to me. Besides, even if l had wanted to go to one end of the line or the other I couldn't have done 30, for the worry good reason that there were no ticket offices in sight"

 winter banqueting and gormandizing. There is a superstition among the people, encouraged even by the medical profes- sion. that over-eating of indigestible food is less injurious in winter than in summer and that therefore one may feast in tho cold season on stalled OK, roast pig, and stuffed turkey with impunity. Fruit and fresh vegetables, may serve for the sum- mer time but roast beef, ham and eggs, plumb pudding and mince pies are cold season staples. %
 Food is required to keep. the body warm and for working energy expenditure and general growth and repair. Unless in the alimentary canal it be properly prepared for absorption and circulation, it becomes foreign body and toxin to the bOdy cells, rather. than food. The same ele- ments which noruish and feed the tissues. in over amount or improper quality, in- toxicate instead of nourish the body. The intake and output do not balance, and there is food fermentation in the alimen- tary canal and auto-intOxication of the whole body from waste retention of the wornout structures and imperfectly oxi- dzed food debris resulting from over-sur- ply and scant oxygen intake. Active ex- ercise increases tissue destruction by stimulating every organ of the body and increasing it's working energy. The heart beats faster and the muscles of the body are given an increased blood-supply. The skin becomes red and warmer, and the blood flows with increased rapidity through the circulatory. vessels of the body.
