Rome. June 14.-Italy's advent into
the European war brings into action
several famous corps OF picked SOL
diers, some of whom have already
fighting records dating back for many
years, such as the Bersaglieri and the
Carobinieri. The Alpine regiments are
receiving their baptism OF fire. This
corps. of which Italy is very proud,
and which has never before been en-
gagged in battle on its own ground, is
recruited solely from the population
OF the Alps.
The Carabinieri, the gendarmes of
Italy. make up a corps that has serv-
ed with distinction in many cam
paigns. The CarabinieTi were insti-
tuted in January. 1861, by bringing to-
gether in one corps all the military
organizations having charge OF. the
public peace OF the various provinces
OF the kingdom. This corps was or
ganized upon the same principles as
those existing formerly in Piedmont

KILLING BIRDS IS COSTLY

According to Col C. C. Shields, president of the League of American Sportsmen, the destruction of birds costs the United States billion dol
 lars year. He said that cotton growers lost annually one hundred million dollars; wheat-growers an other one hundred million by the chinch bug and two hundred million by the Hessian fly. One quail killed in Ohio had 1900 chinch bugs in it's craw, and another killed in a Kansas wheat field had 20O0 Hessian flies. Colonel Shields said that pota' o-grow CTS pay seventeen million dollars. A quail slain in Pennsylvania had 127 potato bugs in it's craw. He said the work of destroying birds in this coun- try might be guaged by the fact that there are ten million shotguns in use, burning six hundred million cartridges year.-Christian Herald.

Work Concluded at Garland City Estimated that Supply will be Adequate for Not Less Than Fifteen Years.

Little Rock, Dec. 15.-The Arkansas Natural Gas Company is just conclud- mo the work on its line at Garland City, according to the General Super ntendent, H. L. Snyder. The com pany has spent about $2O0,000 in se- curing the line against the probability of wash-outs due to Red River floods. When asked what he considered to be the life of the Louisinana fields from which the gas is secured that serves Little Rock and intermediate towns, he said;
 q think 1 am safe in saying that we will have gas for 15 years, or perhaps 20 years, from that field, and it may be much longer. We now have about 25 wells on our line, and are prepar- ing to tie into a new 25,000, ,000-foot well that was brought in two weeks ago in a new field five miles from Shreveport. Within eight or ten days that well will be turned into our mains. We have 20-million feet of gas shut in another section to which We will lay line as soon as we can get to it.'

LABOR COMMISSION. 1 FER COLLECTS OVER
 TIME FOR EMPLOYES

Little Rock, Dec 15.-Commissioner of Labor Clary yesterday collected from one lumber concern in the state $lS5 overtime for employees who were hired by the month, but forced to work more than the prescribed ten hours a day. This was considered more effective than prosecution in the courts, since the employees have gotten pay for their services, and the em- ployer has learned his lesson just as effectively without the humiliation and annoyance of court procedure. It is certain that he. will not again violate the law.
 No reports are coming to the Com missioner of any violations of the Maximum Hour Law for women em- ployes It is being rigidly enforced, and any infringements of the law will be prosecuted by the Commissioner.

Gave Suffrage To
Women Of WaycrOss

Atlanta, Aug. 2O.-Although
the last Legislature frowned
down all attempts on the part of
woman to secure the vote, yet at
the same session the legislators
put the stamp of approval on
suffrage without knowing it.
Among the last bills to be act
ed upon by the Legislature was
one to amend the charter of the
city of Waycross, providing fer
reduction in salary and power of
the Mayor. Down at the bottom
of this bill is a proviso that the
exercise of the right of suffrage
shall not be denied to any citi-
zen because of SEX" The bill
has been signed, but since this
section is unconstitutional it will
not be effective.

SKIN OF The FRUIT.
If BE Wise Not to Eat Apples or Pears
Without Peeiino Them.

Some people say that an apple does
not taste right when the skin is re-
moved. Some even go so far as to say
there is danger in eating fruit that has
come in contact with the steel Of the
pairing knife. as the acid in the fruit Is
apt to produce some poison when /,
comes In contact with the metal But
whether these things are true or not
there is still greater danger in eating
apples without peeling them.
The skin of the apple has always
been more or less infested with germs
of different types. and now our mod
ern methods of fighting insects by
spraying the trees are liable to leave
poisonous deposits on it which will dc
our stomachs serious harm.
Arsenate of lead, lime and sulphur
wash and number of other spraying
compounds used by fruit growers have
been found to remain in considerable
quantities on the skin Of apples and
pears until ripe and placed on the mar.
ket The action of such chemicals
upon the tissues Of the human BODY
is very injurious.
Spraying the trees is giving us more
perfect fruit and getting the grower
better prices. but if you value your
health you should never eat apples OF
pears without first removing the peels

WaYcrOsS Charter Void
Because Of Suffrage Claims

Atlanta, Aug. 21.-The dis
covery has been made that the
Georgia legislature at its recent
famous session passed a bill CIV
ing women the right to vote.
1t was not the constitutional
amendment bill introduced at
the instance of the women suf-
fragists and urged by them
throughout the session. That
bill was put to death in commit
tee.
The suffrage bill passed was
an amendment to the city char
ter of Waycross, and the only
reason it got through the legis-
lature was that nobody noticed
the suffrage joker.
After reducing the salary and
the power of the mayor of Way
cross, and after making other
various and sundry changes in
the municipal government of
that fiourishing south Georgia
city, the bill declares that the
exercise of the right of suffrage
in the city of Waycross shall not
be denied to any citizen because
of sex.
Governor Harris, who makes
it rule to read every bill before
he signs it, came across this Ian
guage and was surprised to find
that the legislature would do for
the ladies of Wayeross a thing it
refused to do for the ladies of
the state at large.
In approving the bill he made
a special notation calling atten-
ton to the fact that the constitu-
ton of Georgia contains no pro-
vision for woman suffrage in any
election, whether state, county
or municipal, and therefore this
particular section of the Way.
cross charter is unconstitutional.
