ID INVITE VETERANS ID MEET HERE IN |9|6 Claims of City to Be Pushed by the Camp Wilcox
 Delegation

Birmingham will be placed in nomina- ton as the place of holding the 1916 Con federate reunion. which will probably be the last general reunion held by the vet erans who wore the gray. This was de- cided upon at the regular meeting of Camp Wilcox, United Confederate Vet erans. held yesterday at Clark & Jones' hall, when delegates were elected to the approaching reunion to be held at Rich mond. The delegates were instructed to place the name of Birmingham before the Richmond convention, and from the fact that It has been quite a number of years since the city was host to the veterans those behind the movement claim that there is strong probability of bringing the reunion here.
 The meeting yesterday was well at tended as much interest in the Richmond reunion has been manifested during the past few weeks. Camp Wilcox expects to send strong delegation to Richmond, the committee on transportation reporting yesterday that it had not decided on the official route, but would announce it at the next meeting. Representatives of the different railroads were present and addressed the meeting on behalf of their respective companies.
 The question of taking the brass band of the Alabama Boys Industrial school was discussed, and a committee was ap- pointed to confer with the Chamber of Commerce and the picture show operators in reference to raising money for the transportation of the band.
 In addition to the regular order of busi- mess yesterday fine musical programme incl1rdfnP dipPe and lections by Mrs. Atkinson and Miss Be- atrice Zell. Miss Mary Zell, the recently appointed sponsor of Camp Wilcox at the Richmond reunion, announced the selec- ton of Miss Louise Zell and Miss Mary Rush as her maids of honor.

OVER 5000 PEOPLE : WERE REACHED IN LAST TWO COUNTIES Workers From Cherokee
 and DeKalb Reach

COMPANY WILL AID
 FOLLOW-UP WORK
Holden Offers to Send Experts of International Harvester Go. Here. Mrs. Mathis and Chamberlain
 Speak at Chamber of Commerce

The farm campaigners who went to Cherokee and DeKalb counties to help the people there put on crop di- versification campaign following the great state campaign returned to Bir- mingham yesterday.
 Those who took part in this extra work in the two counties were Mrs. G. H. Mathis of Gadsden, Professor Burleson of the Auburn experimental station, pr. H. c. Wilson of the Uni ted States department animal industry and Judge A. F. Chamb erlain, Lindsey !, Reese, Nat Barker and c. c. Kirkpat- Trick, of the International Harvester company's farming forces.
 The campaign in Cherokee county is reported to have been as good as in any county in the crop campaign that ended two weeks ago. Two days, Wednesday and Thursday, Were given to the campaign work and the cam paigners went out over five routes. Those who took the leading part in making the work a success were John Chancellor. county demonstration "a gent J. II. Blair, county superintend- 'eIft of schools; Judge l.. P. Savage. Judge Appleton and Judge Richardson. There were about 5000 people at the meetings eager to learn practical meth ods of diversified farming and live stock raising. Many of the farmers in Cherokee county are already raising what they feed and feeding what they raise The campaign men were much interested in the organization of farm ers' clubs which has begun in Cherokee county. They said this showed fine spirit of progress and would result in great deal of benefit to the sections in which these clubs were organized Some of the farmers who have been buying feedstuffs said that this year they were going to raise everything they needed and that they were go- ing to have more hogs, poultry and more dairy cows.
 In DeKalb county two days were given to the campaign which took

PR|Nz E|TEL IS NOT PREPARING TOLEAVE Reports That Cruiser Had Left Dock Prove
 GrOundless

Washington, March 26.-Rumors from today that the Prinz Eitel Friedrich the German sea raider, docked there for re- pairs after her commerce-destroying cruise, was preparing to depart. One re- port said the cruiser actually had left her dock at the shipyard and was putting out to sea to escape or bid defiance to Brit ish and French warships patrollng beyond the Virginia capes.
 All these stories were proved ground less. however, as the Prinz Eitel was at her dock tonight and repair work was said still to be in progress. The immigrant yesterday, and this fact, together with 0 growing belief that the time limit allowed the ship for remaining in port is drawing near, probably gave rise to the reports
 Government officials positively refuse to discuss in any way the time given the Eitel to repair or intern. as to make pulp lie such information would violate neu- trality. The vessel now has been IT days at Newport News. She should have quit the port within 24 hours of her ar rival if in seaworthy condition, but she has been allowed to remain to make re- pairs and dock and clean
 Much mystery has surrounded the re- pairing of the ship, which has been done by the members of the crew, but it was generally believed that the special naval board which examined the ship believed that an allowance of two weeks time would be reasonable for the work.

V Curtis. county superintendent of schools, took an active part in the work and had large crowds out at all of the meetings. As in Cherokee county, the campaigners found that in DeKalb county many farmers were farming this year on the principle of feeding what they raise.
 Holden Offers Aid
 great deal of interest Is shown in Birmingham over the follow-up meet ings next Tuesday to organize for car rying on the work begun by the cam paign in the northern part of Alabama several weeks ago. At the request of the Birmingham people Prof P G. Holden, director of the agricultural de- partment of the International Harves- ter company will meet the Birming- ham Chamber of Commerce Tuesday to assist in outlining the follow up work in north Alabama. Mrs. G. IT. Mathis, the noted Gadsden farmer, has prom ised to help the people in the counties to carry on this follow-up work for raising what they eat having gardens in every home, increasing the live stock and poultry and eradicating the cattle ticks. If the Birmingham peo- pie desire it. Professor Holden will assign two or three of his most ex- perienced associates to help the peo- pie make the follow-up campaign count for as much s possible in north Ala bama.
 Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mathis and Judge Chamberlain talked to the mem- bers of the Chamber of Commerce about the campaign and the follow-up work that is to come. Mrs. Mathis told how eager the people had been to learn about true diversiffcation, based on live stock and raising all their foodstuffs at home. She said that no one who had not been out in the work had any idea of the greatness and extent of the campaign. She told how 5 counties had been COW cred by the work and how the campaign men and women had reached 1000 peo- pie. She said that everywhere the farm CTS were anxious to get away from the one-crop system, and to raise at home this year everything they eat. She urged the strongest support of the bankers and merchants of the towns and cities. She showed how Alabama sends out every year for foodstuffs the entire value of land under cultivation in the state. She declared that it was of vital importance to bankers and other business men to put their energy and resources behind the farmer and help him raise his living at home, so that he will have some moNey when he disposes of this years cotton crop. In Etowah county she showed how the business men got behind the farmers and how excellent results had come from this; how the merchants had done better. how the bank deposits had increased, and how the people were in much better shape than before the business men began work ing with the farmers in raising the food stuffs that were used in the country.

a half and even two years at a conserva- tive rate of interest The result was, he said, that trainload after trainload of live stock went into the Minneapolis and St. Paul trade territory and helped to make the county richer and the people more prosperous. He showed how the farmers had met every one of the notes because their live stock had greatly increased in value, and helped to enrich their lands and had made big money for them. He said that he had no intention of telling the Alabama bankers what they should do, but that he believed what had been done by the bankers of St. Paul and Min neapolis could be done by the Birming- ham business men for Alabama. He showed that the business men in the northwest had stood behind the farmers for diversfication because diversification brought prosperity to all business men as well as the farmers. He said that the business men of Alabama had already done great deal in this respect, but that there was still vast deal of work to be done.

Judge Chamberlain Speaks

Judge Chamberlain told what had been done in the northwest to help the people get away from the one-crop farming with wheat. He said that the bankers in Min neapolis and St. Paul got together and arranged with their correspondents to lend money to the farmers to buy live stock. This money was loaned for one, one and

Of Big Guns Drives Men Insane.

Thunder of Big Guns Drives Men insane'
Insanity, caused by the furious bonn
bardments of the big guns, has become
one of the most appalling features oil inc
great European war. This grim harVes'
NJ modern war has been brought sharply
70 ,he public mind by the establishment
of great camps in southern and western
France for the care OF thousands OF SOL
diers who have been driven TO lunacy oy
the continuous thunder OF artillery anu
the nerve-racking explosions OF millions
OF shells.
Since the mighty artillery duel began
north of Arras, France. five months ago.
il is estimated that 10000 men have been
driven insane, either temporarily or hope
lesslv bv the terrific cannonades. Since
then when the dueling with the big guns
has spread 10 all sections OF the glganlic
battle front, the number has been IN
creased.
The foreign troops-those drawn from
Asia and Africa-have proved the WORST
sufferers. But the number OF Frenchmen
and EngIishmen who have been trans
formed TO maniacs by their experience IN
the trenches is larger than has ever be-
fore been known in warfare.
There are many instances where troops
on the side OF the Allies have been driven
insane by the constant thunder OF their
own guns, but the major number OF cases
come from the trenches which are under
the fire OF the German artillery day and
night.
Officers Of the medical corps declare
that the experience OF passing through
the camps for the insane is more harrow
ing than visit TO the hospitals where the
wounded are lying.
Practically all OF the lunatics are I'M
wounded, but many OF them, in addition
TO being insane, are deaf and dumb, their
hearing and speech being shattered by
the roar of the cannon and the bursting
OF shells.
1t is estimated unoificially that there
are a half million cannon massed along
the 7OO-mile battle front and many OF
these are always in action.

The YOIk OF An Egg.

II has long been known that many per-
sons cannot eat even perfectly fresh eggs
without suffering all the symptoms OF
violent poisoning.
The egg has two parasitic yolk inside
and the white outside. The white is the
part of the egg that the chicken is made
of-the part that makes the bones, the
feathers and the flesh. The yolk, how
ever, is what the chicken lives on. 1t is
a dinner basket placed there by nature
for the infant chicken. II is little lunch
put up for the young life within the egg
to support it until it gets out of the shell,
for the chicken must eat inside the shell
as we'll as outside, and the yolk is little
bundle OF predigested food that nature
has prepared for the chicken to eat before
il energies into the world.
Thus we see that the yolk is food,
whereas the white of the egg never was
intended to be eaten. Rea lily il is not fit
to be eaten. II has some food value, it
is true. II can be utilized under some
circumstances, but it is not good food.
The yolk is the only part of the egg that
really is wholesome food. II is digested
very quickly, the recent investigations
showing that the yolk is digested entirely
in the stomach. There is some tat in the
yolk, there is some protein in the yolk and
some carbohydrate in the yolk, and all
are digested in the stomach.
The fat of the yolk is of peculiar kind.
II is more readily digested in the stomach
than any other fat, although other emulsi-
fled fats are also to some degree digested
in the stomach.
