HOW SOLDIERS LIVE AND FIGHT
IN THE TRENCHES.

London, May 25.-When it rains
the trenches are half filled with wa
ter. The cold is always of the damp,
penetrating, dreadful kind that chills
to the very marrow. Hot food is
served three times day to the men
in the trenches by other soldiers, who
scurry like rabbits through long un-
covered tunnels running back from
the works concealing the guns. -,;.
These men in the trenches must
have good food in order that they
can have good blood, and if they have
good blood, they have good courage,
they keep warm because their circu-
lation is good and their extremeties
are warm from exercise. Many men
are invaded, however, because their
blood and their stomach were not
right to withstand the awful hard
ships of this winter campaign.
When you do not properly digest
your food your blood becomes thin
and every organ of the body soon
feels the effect. The result is
headaches, sleeplessness, nervousness
and many other symptoms due to
accumulation of poisons in the body.
Unless the stomach is given aid at
this stage-more serious illnesses
follow. Now is the time to help your
weakened stomach-now is the time
to take DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery Tin tablet or. liquid form
1t has the same power to set you
right as it has been proved to have
in thousands of other cases. It will

Crop Campaign Plans Complete

No campaign for arousing popular interest in any large movement in Alabama has been So well organized as this originating in the Birming- ham Chamber of Commerce to pro- mote agriculture by crop diversifica- tion.
 Not only have many well known ex- perts in farm demonstration work been enlisted in the cause but large numbers of business men here and in other cities in the state are CO., operating enthusiastically with the general committee, for every manu- featuring and mercantile center is vitally concerned in the progress of agriculture Crop diversification will not only mean more prosperity for the farmer but it will mean more pros perity for every business interest in Alabama.
 There is reason to believe that the money value of the crops raised in this state this year will exceed the total value of any previous year; and higher records will follow year by year. Weather conditions permitting, there will be an abundant yield of foodstuffs and a great increase in the production of hogs and beef cattle.
 The farmers now realize thorough ly the importance of diversification of crops. The next thing is learn how to diversity in a scientific and busi- ness-like manner. Education along lines will have splen- did results. The first "field" activity of this great campaign will be next It will be Jefferson county day. There will be a meeting in nearly every large beat, and re- gardless of the weather each meeting will be well attended. Jefferson is sure to give a good account of itself
 The campaign for the rest of the state will begin Thursday

Proposition Growing In Favor

The address which B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the Frisco lines, delivered before an assemblage of prominent and public spirited citizens in New York on "The Railroads, Government Ownership and the Unemployed D made a distinct impression. The views which the speaker advanced had an appeal to the world of practical affairs, as well as to the imagination, and the address has been widely quoted with approval.
 MT. Yoakum's idea was briefly this: The United States govern ment still has in the public domain about O,O00,0OO acres of land suitable for agriculture, and if it would open considerable percentage of these untitled stretches to settlers there would be great rush from the congested centers with the result that in very few years there would be an immense increase in the productive re- sources of the nation.
 Mir. Yoakum said that it made lit tie difference who owned the rail roads-whether the government or in- dividuals-for the government vir- tually controlled them. One of the troubles that would arise from gov- ernment ownership would be, he thought, that an immense army of government officials and employees would enter the political arena.
 But if the government were to open up the public domain for settlement or a large part of 1.-the railroads would begin building new lines to reach the newly developed sections. There would be great demand for la- Dor of all classes. MT. Yoakum thought that nothing that could be done or nothing that could happen would give such stimulant to busi- ness or So accelerate high record pros- perity as for the government to act on his suggestion. Many prominent publicists and practical business men have commended cordially the Yoa- kum plan. It is feasible and should receive consideration in Washington.

continuance of the rural free delivery and in other cases there would be only three deliveries a week instead of daily deliveries.
 Few things done by the government for the cultural advancement of the people have been so beneficent as the installation and improvement of the rural delivery system. The farmer has been enabled to keep in touch with the markets daily and with the news of the day, to say nothing of other advantages that come from a daily mail service.
 It is earnestly hoped that the Post master General will find some other way to economize at the present time without weakening the free delivery service in the south.

TOWN LEFT WITHOUT HOTEL.

From the Washington Post.
 Prohibition appears to be a very live subject in Washington just now, re- marked Daniel Brogan, a prominent business man of Vale, Ore, at the New Willard. Recently people of the state of Oregon voted for statewide prohibit to the people of southern Oregon. and when the early returns indicated that prohibition had carried, it was hard to believe. The men elected to state and national office were elected by the votes of men who did not believe in prohibition and had these voters known that the men for whom they voted would promote the cause of pronibi- tion they would not have voted for them.
 "It has been my experience that no law against the sale of beer and liquors can be enforced and wherever prohibit ton laws are in force business suffers. I have never tasted beer or whisky or any other kind of intoxicating drink yet I have had it in my house and have mixed many cocktail for my friends I have a son 27 years old and I do not believe he has taken more than a dozen drinks in his life. I told him always that if he wanted to drink he had it at hand, but I advised him that it would do him no good. This, in my opinion, is the secret of the solution of the prohibition question Men crave that which they cannot get. Proper resula tion of the manufacture and sale of beer and liquor will be far more ef- fective than prohibition.
 Some years ago I went to Vale. Ore, a city of 5000 people. I built a good hotel, furnished it luxuricusly. and the leading people of the town took pride in it. They made the hotel their headquarters. Then, under the To- cal option law, the people voted to close the saloons, and my license was taken away. could not afford to keep the hotel open and it has been closed for two years, notwithstanding the protests of my neighbors.'

The south,s Frightening Outlook

Tn New York business circles one hears as much now about the improved cotton situation in the south as was heard last fall about the souths bad shape on ac- count of the demoralized condition of the market caused by the European war" said ]. F. Fessenden of the borough of Manhattan.
 When the hostilities started business in this country was improving rapidly, and exceptional prosperity seemed just ahead of us. But the war spoiled it all. The last half of the year was hard on every branch of business in the east, but now there is steady recovery. Janu- ary brought very decided improvement, and as spring approaches the improve ment will be greater still. The advance in cotton has certainly been a great thing for the south, and with good harvests next summer the south will be al prosperous as eVer''

Rural Free Delivery and Economy

Postmaster General Burleson has administered the affairs of his de- partment with marked economy, and while his retrenchment has as rule not been at the expense of efficiency some instances are being cited where his cutting down will mean deteriora- tion in service.
 In looking over his extensive field of operation recently to see where he could save Uncle Sam large sums the Postmaster General picked out the ru- ral free delivery as branch that might be curtailed and reduce expend- itures about $17, 7,000,000 year. He said that the rural carriers were get ting such large pay that the system ought 70 be changed and put on a con- tract basis; but the citizens who are served by the rural free delivery in sparsely settled districts are protest ing vigorously against the change.
 Those who have looked well into the matter see that it would work no ma terial hardship in thickly populated states. The farmers living along ru- ral routes would receive their mail just the same whether the carriers received salaries or worked on a contract, but in the south it would be very different. It would mean in some cases the dis

A Curious Will

Perhaps no other legal document re- veals so many of humanity's queer traits as a will. The contents of an unsual will published in newspaper are always eagerly read by students of human nature, as well as the idly curious, because sometimes Tn the posthumous revelations they make people who have lived an apparently humdrum life, going about their daily tasks in the most prosaic fashion, are suddenly discovered to be extraordl- nary persons with ideas no one but their discreet lawyer, perhaps, knew about. Some men are able to keep their inner selves hidden from even their most intimate associates, while others have friends or relatives so devoted to them that their eccen- trcities are kept from the knowledge of the world.
 However, there was no attempt made either by himself or anybody else, it is believed, to veil the unusual characteristics of Harold Osgood Bin ney, patent lawyer whose eccen- tricities were so pronounced that he was sent to Blackswell's Island work house because he refused to give a bond of 5000 to keep the peace, after having been arrested for disorderly conduct. He made his will while a prisoner in the workhouse and it was witnessed by three patients in the hospital ward of the institution. He requested that his body be burned or devoted to the cause of science. In case his body were cremated, he re- quested that the ashes be "strewn in some garden near the seashore, where it's solids may prove of use at least to the shrubs and flowers" - After requesting that no needless eX- pense be "wasted on church cere- mony or on the trappings of woe," the testator continues: q die as l have lived-a convinced, and trust, good infidel, believing that the last six verses of the Decalogue would be bet ter observed without the presence of the four superstitious ones that pre- cede them"
 As if to support the theory that eccentricity is only another form of egotism, Binney left numerous small bequests to friends and relatives with which to purchase mementoes, among them silver picture frames in which he desired his photograph to be kept for stated period of time.
