The suggestion of historical pageant, in
which the school children would participate, as
one of the features of the celebration is an ad-
mirable one. Richmond is wealthy in its history
and the depicting of the important events in the
history of the city's existence would be most
impressive spectacle.

public-spirited citizen of Chicago

son ivy. He wants to see il eradicated.
lie will find thousands agreeing with
him. And, before the summer is over,
there will be some thousands more con
verted. They will all be wise from ex-
perience. 'If," says a writer in the
Philadelphia North American, you
happen on green vine climbing luxur-
iantly over walls fences and trees, il it
is late in the season. and the glossy
leaves have turned TO reds and browns
and yellows; IL each leaf ia divided into
three leaflets. and the temptation
comes to you to pull some OF them,
don't do it, II is poison IVY
He might have observed, TOO. shat
1t would be decidedly advisable not to
pull the leaves at any time spring or
summer, as we'll AZ fall Poisin ivy
has no innocuous season. Nor is it any
respecter of sex, age or beauty. In
our woods, meadows, by our roadsides,
in the shadiest hooks, in the most in
vitinR glades, on the banks of the most
limpid streams, it grows luxuriantly.
Wherever man finds nature most allur-
ing he is very likely 10 find poison ivy
most plentiful That, with It's irritat-
ing, skin-scalding oil, Is its main char
acteristic.
People, of course, avoid it as much
as possible. But il counts its victims
by the regiments nevertheless. Doc
tors can give convincing testimony to
this effect. They might not be very
enthusiastic, indeed, about the Chicago
mans eradication campaign But in
the voice Of the victims there is no note
of doubt. They want 1t uprooted, driv-
en- out, destroyed.
Speaking of remedies, the North
American advises witch hazel Others
recommended other drugs. Sugar of
Mead, for instance, is an old standby.
Some swear by mixture Of the inner
bark of pith elder soaked for a few
hours in buttermilk. That is an old
fashioned, homemade remedy that the
boy of yesterday will remember with
gratitude. 1t worked slowly perhaps,
but it worked effectively and had none
of the biting, blistering agony Of that
old-f fashioned. reliable home cure--cop-
peras and vinegar. Simple as they
were, however, they did their work.
But the best remedy. old or new, is to
keep out Of reach of the plant Com
mon soda, If applied soon after expo
sure or contact with the poison, helps
to prevent it from taking. " An ounce
OF prevention, in this case, is worth

plant, the fire was quickly put out by
the fire boys. but not before every
apartment of the magnificent structure
was filled with smoke to greater or
lesser extent. The damage was such
that no service could be held that day.
Those who saw the service rendered
by the fire company are full of praise
for the tact shown as well as the care
exercised in saving the building and
furnishings from damage through care

The church was built about twenty
five years ago at cost of about $780,

VISIBLE SIGNS
 OF PROSPERITY

"A Visible Sign of Prosperity Is the caption of an interesting advertisement of Clark Jones Piano company in to- days issue of The Age-Herald.
 They call attention to the fact that the United States has a trade balance of 8, 200, 100000, an unprecedented sum in the history of the United States; sum so huge that many lay minds cannot grasp its significance; sum larger in dollars than the number of minutes that have passed in 1915 years of the Christian era; a sum, nevertheless, for which foreign countries are obligated in return for com medities made in America; a sum Gin ex- cess of the obligations abroad) which cir culates in every artery of Americas com mercial system and benefits more or less, directly or indirectly, every merchant large Or small in the United Statef. ak
 Birmingham for the first time in many moons recalls a normal pay roll In its vast industries of iron, steel and coal.
 Mir Jones states that the visible signs of prosperity are clearly shown by an in crease in their business III the past 60 days. Not normal yet, says he, but so greatly improved that there can be no further doubt as to the return of pros- perity in Birmingham and Alabama.
