THE WONDERS
OF COTTON.

Cotton touches all the important
moments of living. None has so much
and none so little but cotton is g nee
.essary part of-his daily life. A bit of
the irony of the gods is found in the
fact that while war has demoralized
the cotton industry, yet without Gotten
there could be no war. Not a single
modern gun could be fired, nor bat
tleship sail, nor an army be put in mo-
ton without this wonderful product of
the modest cotton plant, for it's fruit
is the basis of all high explosives and
smokeless powder A wkorship is a
floating cotton mill from natty suits of
its jolly Jack tars to the grim shells
ready as fuel for the 12-inch guns that
make modern warfare SO terrible.
Long ago wool was thrown INTO the
discard as the material for army uni
forms and the world fights its battle
today clad in cotton.
Its use ranges from the Artic explor-
er, who lines his duck suit with cotton
| to make it warmer, to the Hottentot,
who spreads a film of cotton cloth
across few poles to keep out the heat
In South Africa the cotton blanket
has driven out the wooden one. In the
farthest North of Canada twenty mil
lion yards of cotton duck are used an
ually for overcoats replacing fur.
Among the unusual, or rather little
known or thought-of uses of cotton are
the following:
The foundation of ceiling enamel is
cotton, and one single company re-
quired million yards of cotton cloth
to shade tobacco plants growing in
southern climates, and four million
yards for the little bags in which the
same tobacco goes to the consumer.
One hundred and eighty million yards
of cotton cloth carry cement yearly to
build the great office buildings, and the
electric industry of the country yearly
consumes four hundred thousand
pounds of cotton in it's insulating pro-
cess.-Genevieve Clark, in Southern
Woman's Magazine.

Belgium Thanks America.


To-day it's Christmas morning. we
hear no Christmas bell,
But still we tell the story which once
we loved to- tell
Good will, good will"-we read it;
and "Peace''-we hear the name,
And crouch among the ruins and
watch the cruel flame,
And hear the children crying, and
turn our eyes away,
For them there's neither bread nor
home this happy Christmas day.
But, look! There comes a message
from far across the deep,
From hearts that still can pity, and
eyes that still can weep.
Oh, little lips a-hunger, Oh, faces pale
and wan,
There's somewhere, somewhere, peace
on earth, somewhere good will
to man.
Across the waste of waters, thous-
and leagues away,
There's some one still remembers that
here it's Christmas Day.
Oh, God of Peace, remember. and in
Thy mercy keep
The hearts that still can pity, the eyes
that still can weep;
Amid the shame and torment, the
ruins and the graves,
To theirs, the land of slaves.
What answer can we send them? I've
can but kneel and pray
God grant, God grant, to them at
least, happy Christmas Day!

ANNETTE kELLERMAN TO Be
BIG FEATURE At ALCAzAR

When Annette Kellerman makes her
appearance in 'Neptu'ne's Daughter"
next week at the Alcazar Theatre, it
will be in a new role-that of a real
mermaid. And as interesting as she
is behind the footlights, she is vastly
more son the screen, for in addition
to the broader scope allowed for her
dramatic expression, Miss Kellermann
is in natures settings, and there she
is supreme. 1t is said that this pro-
duction was staged at cost of more
than two hundred thousand dollars,
and required nearly six months I'M
firing and organized effort. But also,
we are promised that 'Neptune's
Daughter more than justifies the
means to the end for it is gorgeous
spectacle Astounding in the magma
tive and poetical, and withal strong
and convincing. 1t has been a sensa-
ton in New York, where it is still
playing to capacity houses, and wher-
ever it has been exhibited on tour, it
has received enthusiastic praise.

A nature ever jolly,
