dation of these companies can be accom-
plished except by a special act of Con-

explanation by the company is included
to the effect that members of Congress

CHRISTMAS CANDIES

girl who is famous among her
friends for her skill in candy making
finds herself this year facing the problem
of an almost empty pocketbook and a
long, gift list. She reasons that there Is
only one way out of the difficulty-either
to give some OF her friends candy or
abandon the idea of present giving alto
gether. To this girl Christmas would not
be Christmas without giving. SO the candy
offerings are going to win the day.
Here are the recipes for some OF the
sweets which will be sent to friends
packed In pretty homemade cringied
paper baskets and boxes:
Marsh maliows.
Two cupfuls OF sugar and one cupfnl
of water. Boil together until the mixture
is brittle when dropped into cold water.

six ,tablespoonfuls Of cold water. When
the sirup is done pour it over the gela-
tin and beat twenty minutes. Powder. a

powdered pan for day or night; then

and cornstarch.

and cupful Of milk together until IL
threads, then add a teaspoonful of but
ter. Take from the fire, flavor with va
nilla, and add cupful of broken nut
meats. Pour into CREASED pan and cut

Rutterscotch.
Three cupfuls Of white sugar. half a
cupful Of water. half a cupful of vinegar
or half tablespoonful of cream of tar

drops OF extract OF lemon Boil without
stirring until IL will snap and break.
Just before taking from the fire add a

they did not re-enlist.
The devotion of some of these veterans
TO the cause is indicated by remarks that
might have been heard fifty years ago
today in the camps of the Army of the
Potomac.
''If these new men aren't fit to finish
the job" said one Massachusetts, private,
we old men must. And as long as Uncle
Sam wants me, I'm going to stick

front. The mercenary and the bounty
jumper. serving for money-the latter al
ways watching for an opportunity to de-
sert-had lowered the standard of the men
who were eaHed upon to wear the uni
form.
The veterans who had volunteered at
the beginning OF the war. and who had
stood the fatigues and dangers of three
years of campaigning. resented the pres
ence of these newcomers in the army.
There was indeed a wide gap between
the two classes of soldiers. Gen. George

Embroidered Lace.

lovely lingerie waist on which there was
much hand embroidery. chiefly solid satin
stitch. Rows of wide valenciennes inser-

has to be exercised when emoroidering

THE LATEST CoNCEIT FOR THE
GOLDEN-HAIRED CeIFFURE

The decided vogue for yellow, which
is noticeable in all the departments of
dress this season is being reflected in
the newest types of hair ornaments. The
latest offering in this connection Is the
demi-blonde combs and pins, set in topaz,
or as near to it as the purse will admit.
The effect, even in the least. costly of
the limitations. is very rich. and there is
considerable taste shown in the designs,
many of which are unique.

Quaint China Ornaments.

China figures, quaint ladies with pow
dered china hair and pink china cheeks
and gracefully slim figures are dressed
In gay silk gowns each of which con-
ceals sizable box in which candies or
sewing materials of any sort Of trinkets
could be put. These charming china
ladies cost S2.T5 and make delightful
Christmas presents. Some of them are
strumming guitars, and some are gazing
raptly in china mirrors. and some are
languidly tanning themselves.

embroidering black velvet with that very
narrow filiet ribbon that is used to work
those fascinating covers and pillow tops

broider the girdle without first marking
out the design upon the velvet, this can
easily be done by outlining in white
thread the simple daisyIilSe flowers gem

be- marked over the thread. The towers
may be marked in any color desired. and

charIsy's Antics With His Bread an

Charley was a nice husky boy, but
he had one serious fault, which l deem
It my duty to mention. although 1t wa,
perhaps a natural symptom,of real boy
hood. In the middle Of an exciting
game of woolly -woolly-wolf. three-old'
cat, nlbs or skinny he would slip away
home. to return presently with a per.
fectly paralyzing slice Of bread an but
ter an sugar on.
Now. IL you were ever a boy yourself
you'll agree that Charley was very i'm.
moral to behave that way. The effect
was always disastrous. The game
would come to an immediate halt.

longingly at Charley's lunch, each of

Of a combined attack, since none Of rs
would for a moment think of trying to

But the particular reason why Char

on. He didn't hold 1t in the grasp Of
his hand like other boys: he elevated it
daintily on the tips Of his fingers and
thumb. just as a waiter carries ARRAY.
That, / say, was immoral. And he ate

March Of AGE
WORN VETERANS

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 29.-This
was the spectacular day Of the nation
al reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans, when g%ray-haired soldiers
of the COS marched again shoulder
to shoulder. The parade was the fea-
ture OF the day. Public Offices, the
banks and many business houses were
closed, and the people made the &C.
casion a holiday. The early morn
ing trains poured hundreds Of visitors
into the city from nearby points in
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia.
During the night the final decora-
tive touches were made, and this
morning the streets through which
the parade was to pass were one con-
tinuolls line of flags and bunting. At
neary every available point along the
route viewing stands had been built,
while hundreds of roofs and windows
had been equipped with chairs for
the accommodation of spectators.

ARE IN REUNION

Chattanooga. Tenn, May a.
Scenes of unbounded enthusiasm at

twenty-third annual reunion of the
United States Confederate Veterans

parks thousands of the old soldiers,
constituting the remnant of the gary.
clad host of the Confederate army
with their affiliated Sons and
Daughters" answered roll call this
morning. The camp is named in hon.
or of Gen. Alexander P. Stewart, Ten.
nessee's famous military leader.
The convention of the veterans was
called to order in the Auditorium at
10 o'clock this morning bp Gen. Geo.
+. Hickman, commanding the Tennes-
see division. The invocation was de.
livered by Rev. J. W. Bachman, chap.
lain general. Governor Hooper OF
Tennessee, Mayor Thompson of Chat
tanocga, and w. E. Brock, chairman
of the local reunion committee, for.
mally welcomed the veterans and visi.
tors. Response was made by Gen.
Bennett H. Young of Louisville, com
:mander-inchief. 80.
Occupying eats on the platform
were Gen. Julian S. Carr of North
Carolina, Gen. X. NJ. Van Zandt OF
Texas, Gen. George Harrison of Ala
bama, Gen. William B. Haldeman OF
Kentucky, and other prominent Off.
GERS and representatives of the Unit
ed Confederate Veterans, the Sons of
Veterans and Daughters of the Con.
federacy.
The appearance of each of the old
commanders in the hall was the sig
nal for an enthusiastic demonstration.
The veterans in a body, hats.
llandkerchiefs and coats went into
the air, and cheer after cheer rang
out, the gallery joining in the ap.
plause.
During the afternoon business ses.
sions were held by the Sons of Veter.
ans and the Confederate States Mem.
orlal Association. Another interest.
ing feature of the dap was the spon.
sors parade, which made it's way
through the camp of the veterans and
along several of the leading thorough.
tares of the city. The parade was
ied by the sponsor for the South, Miss
Nate Daffin of Texas, who rode in a
gorgeously decorated automobile, with
a troop OF cavalry as escort.

1HE FIELD OF VISION.
Even Persons With Normal Eyes Ar
s4 Partially Color Blind. ..

Even PersoNs With Normal Eyes Arc
3 Partially Color Blind.
The various tests for color blindness
have come into practical use in the ex-
animation Of railroad engineers and
the like, where the ability to distin-
guish colOrs is necessary, go that these
tests are no longer peculiar to the lab
oratory. Butt is not generally known
outside the laboratory that everybody
is partially color blind-that is. in GER
tain parts of the field Of vision.
The most normal individual can see
all the colors only when he looks di.
rectly at them, If looked at from an
angle Of about fifteen degrees red and
green can M longer be seen. but in
their places will appear shades OF vel
low or blue. This region of the eye is
known as the yellow-blue zone If the
color be moved still farther to the side
the yellow and blue will disappear and
only gray can be seen. This region is
known as the zone of complete color
blindness. 81.
An interesting theory in regard to
these zones Is that every normal eye
represents three stages Of evolution.
The zone of complete color blindness
is the lowest stage and appears in
such animals as the frog. whose vi.
sion is known as shadow vision. The
blue.yellow zone is one step higher in
the scale, although not clearly marked
of in the animal kingdom. And the
appearance of the red-green zone
marks the highest stage Of evolution.
Cases Of color blindness are. according
to this theory. a lack Of development
beyond the early stage in the individ-
ual lif~e.-Professor Pofenberger In
Strand Magazine.

HOLLY Ones a Medicine.

Holly formerly played an important
part In domestic medicine. The berries
are violently purgative and emetic"
and we're swallowed ten Mt a time by
our Incorporate ancestors to cure the
"vapors," spleen" and other mysteri-
Gus maladies. Some years ago promi-
nent French physicians pronounced a
decoction Of holly leaves or al extract
from the bark, called "ilicine." to be
superior to quinine as a tonic and
febrlfuge. Owing to commercial and
other difficulties the boom died away.
and 'ilicine' no longer figures in the
British Pharamacopoeia.-London Ex-
