NEUTRAL WATER IS TABOO
Certain Spot in Rivers Where There
Is No Use Trying to Make
Catch of Fish.

According to old fishermen there
is what might be called neutral
ground, or rather neutral water, In
rivers, where there Is no use Of trying
to make a catch-unless that 1t be
that some fool fish snatches bait, like
an insane human might grab red hot
stove.
This neutral water is the part of
the river where its flow encounters
the saline importation of the salt wa
ter of the bay or ocean into which
it finally empties. With the ebb and
the flow of the tide the salt water of
the bay runs up into the river for
miles, and on the reverse the fresh
water descends several miles again to
the bay leading into the salt sea.
There is midway between the salt
and fresh water points, however, that
very seldom shifts. Around this mid
way shad and blue and other salt wa
ter fish, if they visit at all, will hover
on the ocean side. On the fresh wa
ter fringe will loiter such fish as in
habit currents that are devoid Of the
saline ingredient If the fisherman
happens to cast bait in this neutral
zone he is not likely to get either one
or the other

Theater Used as a Stable.

The Turkish theater Of Mustapha
Pasha is, in the opinion of. convoy ex-
perts, the most convenient stable they
have found in the length and breadth
Of the peninsula.
The pit boxes serve for mules,
horses, or oxen; the galleries are
crammed with hay and straw; the bal
cony. is reservoir for oats; the stage
is a surgical center for operations on
wounded animals, while the green
room is a special haunt of buffaloes.
Surprising Cure of Stomach Trouble
When you have trouble with your
stomach or chronic constipation, don It
imagine that your case is beyond help
just because your doctor fails to give you
relief. Mrs. G.. Stengle, Plainfield, NJ D.,
writes, "For- over a month past have
been troubled with my stomach. Every
thing ate upset it terribly. One OF
Chamberlain's advertising booklets came
to me. After reading a few of the let
tiers from people who had been cured by
Chamberlain Tablets, I decided to try
them. I have taken nearly three-fourths
Of package of them and can now eat
almost everything I want" For sale by

Women all over the South are work
ing heart and soul for the success or
the National Conservation Exposition
that will be held in Knoxville, Tenn,
next September and October.
The women will have building on
the exposition grounds devoted entire
" to them and to their interests. Inc
building now in course OF construcuon
will be one of the handsomest and
must striking il the group OF eXposi-
ton structures. 1t is being built in the
old Colonial style.

WILL EXPLOIT SOUTH
National Conservation Exposition at
Knoxville to Feature Mines
and Minerals.

Gov. James B. McCreary, of Ken.
lucky, has read so much about the
National Conservation Exposition that
is to be held in Knoxville, Tenn, dur
ing the months of September and Oc-
tober, had become so much impressed
with the magnitude of the exposition
and it's Importance to the South as a
whole that he recently called DR.. j. B.
Hoeing, State Geologist, before him.
Or Hoeing," the governor said in
effect, this exposition at Knoxville is
going to be big thing, much bigger
exposition for the South in every way
than most people imagine l am anx-
ious that you go down to Knoxville,
look over the ground, see what is be-
ing done, and arrange for a state ex-
hibit Of Kentucky minerals at the OK
position. Kentucky can not afford to
be unrepresented, believe"
DR.. Hoeing came to Knoxville, mar
veled at the work being done and at
the work already accomplished. He
went back to Frankfort and made his
report W 1OE. MCCISdEy.
Kentucky will have it's exhibit at
Knoxville.
The incident thus related is only
one of number OF similar character
that have occurred recently. Many
who could not see things Alright before,
have become convinced that the Ma
tional Conservation Exposition is to
be in reality national exposition, ma
tion-wide in scope, nationwide in char
acter.
The United States government,
through its different departments and
bureaus, is taking a deep interest in
the success of the big undertaking,
and in no department probably more
than in the Department of Mines and
Minerals.
In the first place the managers of the
Exposition have taken into considera-
ton that the mineral resources of the
Great New South are many and varied.
that for richness Of deposits there are
none just like them anywhere in the
country, and they have taken into con:
sideration the fact that there is much
development work still to be done
among these mineral deposits. So a
magnificent new building, white as
snow, as are all of the other buildings
of the Exposition, is going up. 1t will
be used exclusively for the display of
mines and mineral exhibits.
Here the resources that mean so
much to the South will be on display;
here the lessons of how best to con.
serve these wonderfully rich re.
sources will be taught; here the les.
sons of how best to protect the lives
of those who go down in the mines az
a means of earning livelihood will
be portrayed.

Remembered Grudqe.

Queen Wilhelminas recent visit to
Paris has moved the paris correspond
ent of the New York Sun to tell again
story of the days when her majesty
was the most popular young person
age in the world.
In the revived edition, the story is
to the effect that she found it hard to
learn English, and perhaps for that
reason did not love England. The
first map of Europe she drew showed
an enormous Holland, fair-sized Bel
GUM and france, but an almost i'm
perceptible Great Britain.
To draw particular attention to the
diminutive island representing Eng
land, she wrote below it, Land OF
Miss s." cher English governess).
Years later the young queen said
to the minister plenipotentiary of Eng
land:
BE sure to tell her majesty, Queen
Victoria, that l love Englishwomen,
all Englishwomen."
To which the minister bowed, and
the Queen added:
"All Englishwomen are not govern
esses!' -Youth's Companion.

CAUSED TOURISTS A SHOCK
Pair Thought They Were Being Am
pushed by Wild Animals, but 1t
Was All Right.

Who says that adventure Is dead!
Only the other day motorist and his
wife were taking turn through the
forest of Fontainebleau when they got
a turn" of the sort they hardly bar
gained for.
They found themselves being am
pushed by a lion, and we know on
Shakespearean authority how impress
sionable the fair sex is at the ap-
proach of that kind of wild fowl"
The woman promptly tainted, and
monsieur shut on the clutch at grande
vitesse.
No sooner had madame revived
than they encountered panther.
This was too much Of a good thing.
Monsieur was about to say SO with
all his Gallo eloquence when the ex-
PLANTATION turned up.
A troupe Of psuedo Arabs with per-
mouse and spear came up to explain
that they were working off a film
for a cinema firm, and the beasts were
drugged.
1t was a sorry climax, but 1t all
came into the picture" and espe-
cially the changing emotions of the
motorists faces from alarm to action,
and from indignation to rel1ef.-NeW

EnuIand's Breakfast.

It is reported from London that a
recent attempt to introduce grape
fruit as a breakfast food has tailed
and that heavy importation of those
delicacies has caused such a slump In
the market that costermongers are
selling them from barrows for penny
apiece.
This will surprise no one who has
ever lived in England. That country
has known many changes during the
last few years. Caste lines have been
obliterated; the silk hat is no longer
an object of reverential worship; ac-
tors have been knighted and bands in
troduced into restaurants. But the
breakfast table is the last ditch of
British conservatism. The English
man eats bacon and eggs 365 morn
ings in the year and welcomes leap
year because it enables him to indulge
in that delightful dish 366 times.
The monarchy may be abolished and
the house of lords deprived Of its pre-
negatives, but the English breakfast
will remain as it was in the days of
the Conqueror. Grape fruit will never
have a place In it.-New York Her.

The country Is facing grave prob
lens, the solution OF which must
come from a clear understanding OF
conditions, and immediate action.
The work of man in dealing with
the forests and soils, which were
given for use, and not for abuee,
may aptly be compared to the work
of smaller forms of life, such as the
boll-Weevi and army worm. The
great creator probably views it in
this light. Devastation is apparent

Some months ago the Berlin under

that the smokers defiled the cars and
that their running to and fro in search
of the smoking coach, which it was
impossible to place in the same rela-
tive position on each train, caused
serious delays and detracted. from the
efficiency of the service. A tremend-
Gus protest went up and every Berlin
paper sided with the smokers; but
the railway company was oDdurate'
and shortly after the regulation be-
came effective Won Jagow embodied
it in the police regulation. Inc
smokers then began boycotting the
underground, despite the-fact that II
affords quicker communication along
it's route and willingly sacrificed their
extra sleep daily in order to smoke
on their way to and from work. The
company sought various explanations
for the falling off in it's receipts, but
soon discovered that the abolition OF
the smoking cars was the cause of the
loss Of business. Announcement has
now been made that the smoking cars
will be replaced, providing Won Jagow
is willing to rescind the police or

CHAUFFEUR GOES INSANE
OVER MEXICAN TROUBLES

Fearing that his life was in danger
and mentally worried over the status
of Mexico, where he owns property, the
private chauffeur of a wealthy party
composed of G. Wendenling, the mil
ionaire lumberman and Others, which
arrived on the Mongolia, is now in a
sanitarium here.
On the trip down the young man s
action caused considerable uneasiness
and it was seen that his mind was some
what unbalanced. When a couple of
rockets were set off one night the young
man advised some friends standing near
him to get away from his vicinity as
he did not want harm. to come to any
one else.
On arrival at Honolulu the young
man was removed to the sanitarium,
where he was kept by his employer,
who has shown him every consideration
in his affliction.
