A SALOON RrN ny WOMEN

From the London Standard
In the village of Plona. Canton of St.
Gail, the men petitioned recently the local
authorities to open a cafe where they
could obtain drinks and pass a pleasant
evening. The women folk, however.
strongly objected and the affair was
dropped. The men, in revenge. conse-
quently visited the cafes in the neighbor-
ing villages and made point of returning
home late at night. The women of Plona
then petitioned for the establishment OF
cafe under their management, giving
ample financial and moral guarantees,
and the petition was granted.
The cafe was launched by the women of
the village and kept under their control.
Good drinks and food<were sold at a little
over cost price, and the farmers daugh-
ters took it in turn to wait on the GUS
toners once. a week, and everybody is so
we'll served that there have been no moro
excursions to other villages and midnight
returns. The cafe is closed at IL p. M,
and nobody who has had a glass too much
is allowed another drink. The "petticoat
cafe,' as it is ncknamed, is a distinct
financial success, because the women give
their services free, and buy the best in
the cheapest market and at the lowest
possible price.

ficiency DWARF the work Of the corn

ficiency dwarfs the work of the corn
boys.
These boys are taught how to pre-
pare the soil, how to select seed from
given product, how, where and when
to use fertilizers, and how to cultivate
the growing crop. When mule power
is lacking the soil cannot be properly
prepared. The boys do, however, the
best they can with the means at their
command.
Professor Duncan says the most i'm
portant official in the state govern
ment is today the county school super
intendent. Through him the boys and
girls are reached, and through the
boys and girls the fathers and moth
ers are reached, and the grand re-
suit will be new agricultural state
right here in Alabama.

CLEVER WORK

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The rustic who comes to London has a
new peril to face.
Wien he walks abroad after dark he
encounters two natives. Both are staring
upward. The rustic stops. He locks up,
too.
Eres a man, Bill" says one n tive 10
the other; lets leave 1t to i'm
"Orl right says the second native.
ITS like this he says to the rustic.
Me ans my pal ere, we've got bet
that wot we're looking at up there is
either Venus or German dirigible.
Won't you kindly take look yourself an
give us your opinion-we'll leave it all
to you.'
SO the hattered rustic stares upward,
and while he is lost in the clouds The ma
tives sneak his watch and his sticlpin
and his wallet and merrily disappear.

2 Loss of Property in Ohio

The loss of life in Ohio and Indiana
on account of surging waters bids
fair to be much less than first reports
indicated. The loss of property will,
however. exceed all estimates because
of the great losses that have come to
the railroads in the crashing down of
bridges. Millions of money will have
to be expended in replacing the rail-
road bridges, and the entire remainder
of the year will be needed in which
to do the work. 1t is stated that fully
one-half of the railroad bridges in
Ohio have been thrown down. When
the total loss is summed up it will
undoubtedly 60 to immense figures.
Governor Cox does not hesitate to say
that it will exceed that sustained by
the people of San Francisco.
This seems almost incredible, for the
entire property loss in the San Fran
cisco disaster was over $500, 700, 900,
of which the insurance companies had
to shoulder $500, 100000. In that dis
aster, 1888 buildings were destroyed
by fire, valued at $1O5, 100000. The
fire broke out in 20 places at once
Immediately after the contortions of
the earthquake had ceased.
The losses in the flooded district of
Ohio and Indiana are very great, but
it is scarcely possible that they will
aggregate 100000, 1000. Thus far the
San Francisco disaster stands un-
equaled in the loss of property More
lives were lost, however, at Calves

Corn Club Work

Professor Duncans lecture on
Thursday or corn clubs was full of
interesting facts and figures. In the
year 1900 there were but 10 corn
clubs in this state and their member
ship was but 265. Last year there
were 81 clubs-one in each county
and the membership stood at 1884!
Professor Duncan did not over
state the situation when he said that
these boys are revolutionizing the ag-
ricultural life of the state. 1t needs a
revolution, and the boys of the state
are the right ones to accomplished.
The great lack of the state is more
mule power. The mules are not here
either in number or weight, to plow
the soil IL inches deep. and this de-

Regarding General Trade

General trade up to this week has
been fairly satisfactory and the out
look for activity in April was exceed
ingly bright. but the flood disasters
in the middle west, to say nothing of
other sections, will cause a partial
1ull," said Edmund J. Whaling of Pitts
burg. "In the industrial field there is
still considerable activity and the steel
business will probably continue active
throughout the year.
IF the railroad bridges have been
destroyed by floods on many lines as
reported there will be many rush or
ders for bridge material. 1t would not
surprise me to see a decided squirt in
the iron and steel market within the
next two or three weeks, While every
body is deploring the loss of life and
property 1T is an Ill wind that blows
no one good.'"

HINTS ON EXERCISE
lth and Strength.

From Health and Strength.
Exercise favors the growth of bone and
muscle. 1t quickens the elimination OF
waste products. 1t accelerates the WORK
of the liver, the lungs, the skin and the
kidneys. 1t makes more active the brain.
1t brightens the eye, clears the skin and
tones up the whole organism. The appe-
tte is made l1eener and digestion is aided
by greater appetite for food.
But while exercise is absolutely neces-
sary to health and to a perfect digestion
it does not always achieve this end, as,
for instance, when it is taken too soon be-
fore or after meals. No one should exer-
else Immediately preceding or following
meal, one hour before and two hours
after eating being the better time. 1t is
fairly safe, however, to fix the time pre-
ceding a meal at one hour, for the storn-
ach is then somewhat empty.

DIR. staeg Talks About FLORIDA

The Rev. Dr. j. w. stage was in
Birmingham yesterday and was cordially
greeted by many friends. He is pastor of
a Presbyterian church in Orlando, Fla,
but he came to Alabama for the pur-
pose of visiting his son, who is now
farming in Sumter county.
Florida is a great state,'' said DR..
Stagg. ''rhere has been wonderful de-
velopment in all parts of Florida with
in the past five years. Orlando is a
fiourshing town with a winter popula-
tion of about 1000. I have quite a large
congregation, made up chiefly of north
ern people of culture, and it is pleasure
to preach to them.
Science has done much for agricul-
ture and horticulture everywhere and in
Florida the strides in fruit and vegetable
growing have been simply stupendous. 1t
used to be that hothouse vegetables and
hothouse fruits were sold as rare luxu-
ries but they were insipid and counted
for little in the matter of food 1t is
very different today. The people In the
north have Florida Strawberries and many
Florida vegetables all through the Win
ter and these products are we'll favored
and altogether wholesome. Not only so,
but they are almost as cheap as the
vegetables raised in summer. -
Yes. there is wonderful progress in
Florida. Jacksonville is a rapidly grow
ing city and all the other cities and re-
sort places in Florida are enjoying great
prosperity

"wHAT TIME IS IT. CENTRALsv

From the New York Mail.
What time is it % is the most expensive
question asked in the world today 1t
costs the great telephone system of this
country many thousands of dollars each
year to answer it.
In New York alone the telephone COM
pany registers 100000 subscribers, which
makes it possible for that number of peo
pie to ask the question each day. But the
telephone company is thankful that no
such number of people use it for their
timepiece. If they did, telephone service
would soon be an impossibility, as most
of the telephone operators would either
go insane or would resign their positions,
in fear of such a calamity Detailing them.
1t is estimated that it costs the COM
pany about cent every time it answers
the question what time Is it?" II. out Of
the 100000 calls registered with the New
Xork Telephone company each day, only
