Ky l.. S, BETTY

Montgomery, September 25-(Special.) Members of the senate today presented Lieutenant- Governor Kilby and President Pro Tenn T. L. Bulger with handsome gifts as tokens of their esteem and friend ship. The lieutenant-governor was pre- scented a beautiful silver pitcher and an elaborate silver platter was the gift tc Senator Bulger.
 Tn presenting the pitcher to MT. Kilby Senator Alto V. Lee of Etowah, paid a high tribute to the presiding officer of the senate. By your unbroken fairness yoK have won the admiration of the senste, he said. May out of this pitcher Gods richest blessings be poured for you and yours
 Senator Holmes presented the platter to MT BHlger,
 Mir. Kiloy and MT. Bulger responded feelingly to the speeches of the senator from Lee and the senator from Baldwin, expressing their deep appreciation of the thorghtfulness and friendship of the members of the senate.
 MT. Lees address was one of the most eloquent that had been heard on the floor of the senate during the present session. He said, in part:
 The Divine Master teaches us that 1t is more blessed to give than to receive. The father out of heart filled with devotion gives freely his labor and love to his offspring. The mother goes into the valley of the shadow of death and fears no evil to give unto the world a son.
 "open-hearted charity gets genuine joy In giving to the worthy poor and needy, but, MT. President. these are gifts from the rich and strong to the poor and weak The one being blessed while the other re- ceives.
 It is my pleasure today to present a gift from grown men to a man, the man Hest of men. a gift from the strong to the strong. a gift that partakes not of anything save the promptings of hearts that have been welded together in the bonds of friendship Your unfaltering pa- tience, uniform fairness and gentle cour- tesy have endeared you to every member of this senate. and while in the heat Of deb0te there may have momentarily sprung up in the hearts of some the ugly weeds of discord. they were quickly cut down by the keen edge of right and justice that has so characterized every ruling of the chair. With special privil- eges to none and equal justice to all you have with dignity and ability presided over this honorable body, and today as a token of our appreciation of your manly virtue, mental efficiency and nobility of character, l present to you for and on behalf of the senate of Alabama this s!- yer pitcher. The ship of state will sail on, and while our schooners will no more bump at the bar, yet as we put out on life's sea after today's separation, some sailing in swiftly moving vessels, I trust that favorable wind will from time to time blow us into hailing distance, and that we will carry ever with us the one for the other the greatest admiration and friendship. and when the shadows of the evening of life are falling fast about us, may our association here always be hallowed memory. Out of this pitcher may Gods richest blessings be poured for you and yours"

kitchener's Tender Side.

Lord Kitchener is by no means the
cold, Unconditional nan he is repre-
sented to be. In action he is, as the
late G. w. Stevens put it, "a brain
working in a box Of ice" but he can
shed tears.
Once in the final Soudan campaign,
when sudden and torrential rains
swept away the labor of months, ne
broke down, wept, and, like Job,
asked why he should be thus afflicted
Again, in the final scene at Khar-
toum, when a thanksgiving service was
held, the tears rolled down his face,
and he made no effort to hide them.
At the durbar there appeared zoo
old men, all that was left Of the
Sepoys who remained loyal in the mu-
tiny, to be reviewed by the duke of
Connaught and the victory. Lord
Kitchener, Of course, was there, and
he gaZed in silence at the line of
quavering veterans.
Then he turned to a brother officer
of high rank, and said: Il say, old
chap, let's give these men a cheer!"
All responded to the call, and a mo-
ment later it was seer that the tears
were standing in Lord Kitchener's
eyes.-Philadelphia Record.

Jake, who was VIGOROUSLY bad pay,
took advantage of a new storekeeper
in the town and managed to get a
dollars worth of horse feed on credit.
Finally, when the money was not
forthcoming, the s~torekeeper set out
to collect.
Il came to see you about that dollar
for horse feed" said he. approaching
Jake in a field some distance from the
house. DO you think you can pay me
today?'
"How's that?'' returned Jake, put
ting a hand to his ear and speaking
in a highly pitched voice. What did
We say?"
II said" returned the s~torekeeper,
going closer and shouting like a glee
club, that it's time you paid me that
dollar!"
Cant hear a word We say declar-
ed Jake. yell nave ter speak up a
bit louder"
Just wait a minute" cried the
storekeeper, feeling in his pocket for
a lead pencil. Il will write it down."

Jake, with a hopeless shake Of his
head. Cant see to read without my
specs"

That "voice" Asain.-For many
weeks the town had been ornamentec
by bills announcing that a lecture or
the value Of vegetarianism would be
delivered by Prof. P. Knot. There be
ing nothing else going on in the town
at the time, quite a respectable crowd
filed into the hall.
The professor was eloquent, and be-
fore he half finished his lecture many
OF the people present had decided to
give his teachings a trial when-alas!
the voice interfered in the proceed
ings
Getting worked up as he neared the
closing passages of his grafton, the
professor said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: l do assure
you that l never thanking the
good soul who first persuaded me to
give vegetarianism a trial! 1 have
never for an instant regretted the day
when I decided to give up meat eat

Playing II Safe.-A satire on those
belligerent neutral" citizens who
fight out the European war in the Unit
ed States, is furnished in this story,
says the Philadelphia Record.
A certain n-about-town had In
his employ a small and fiery japanese
valet who lever grew tired Of con-
demning the Germans and all their
works. His repeated TRADES finally
wearied his employer and the latter
decided to call a halt. So, one day
after Sato had delivered himself OF
an unusually bitter TRADE, his en-
ployer questioned him:
why don't you go back home and
fight if you feel that way about it?'
he asked.
For a moment Sato was astounded

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
President Names Five Appointees for
Confirmation by Senate.

Washington, Feb. 22.-President Will
son today, five months after the en-
actment Of the Federal trade commits
sion law, sent to the senate for confir-
nation the names Of the five members
to constitute that commission. Wheth-
er the nominations can be confirmed
by March 4, was regarded by some
senator's as uncertain, in view of OPP
position by individual senators to
some Of the men nominated.
The three Democrats named by the
president are: Joseph E. Davis, Madi-
son, Wis, to serve seven years; Ed
ward N. Hurley, Chicago, for six
years, and William ]. Harris, Cedar
town, Ga, for five years. The other
nominees are Will H. Perry, Seattle,
Wash, a Progressive Republican
named for four years, and George
Rublee, Cornish, N. H., registered as a
Progressive, for three years.
The senate committee on interstate
commerce will first consider the nomi-
nations, Chairman Newlands said to-
night he would call a meeting of his
committee tomorrow. He thought II
would be able to recommend confir-
nation in a few days.
Democratic and Republican senators
declared tonight there would be nc
hasty consideration in view Of the
great powers conferred by the new
law and the length of time the presi-
dent required to decide on the per-
sonnet of the committee. Progressive
Republican senators have informally
discussed several Of the appointees as
their names have been unofficially
mentioned.
The broad purpose of the commits
sion as provided in the act is to prevent
persons, partnerships or corporations,
except banks and common carriers,
from using unfair methods Of compe-
tition in m Whenever the
commission has reason to believe thai
any unfair method is being used, il
shall issue a complaint and give the
suspected offender a hearing.
individuals or corporations so cited
shall be given the right to show Gauss
why an order should not be issued
against them requiring cessation OF
violations alleged. II such orders
eventually are issued and violations
complained of are not stopped, tbs
commission may apply to the circuit
court of appeals of the United States
for enforcement Of it's order, the find
ings of such court to be conclusive
Judgment of the court would be sub
ject to review by the supreme court
upon certiorari.
The trade commission is also giver
power to compile information and
make investigation concerning the
organization, business, conduct, prac-
tees and management Of corporations
and of their relation to other corpora
tons and associations, and to require
filing of information by such firms anG
corporations concerning their affairs
1t also is empowered to investigate
trade conditions with foreign countries
and report to congress with such
recommendations as it may deem ad-
visable. In connection with this fea-
ture Of the work, President Wilson In
a recent speech indicated the commits
sion could do the work of a tariff
commission.

Excuses, Says Expert.
Look out for pneumonia at this time
of year, says the bulletin issued by the
department Of Health and Charities Of
Philadelphia The disease claimed
1850 victims in Philadelphia last year,
taking second place among the deadly
diseases in the city. But, says Direc-
tor Ziegler's bulletin, 1t is easy to re-
sist the harmful effects of the germ so
long as we receive an ample supply -
pure air and keep our bodily standard
up to normal.
Obey the following "Don'ts," says
the Health Department, and you need
not fear pneumonia.
Don't poison yourself with tainted
air by staying in poorly ventilated
overheated, crowded, foul-smelling
places. Fresh air does not cause pneu-
monia or any other disease, but Is
necessary for good health, in winter as
we'll as in summer.
Don't injure your health and lower
your vitality by ~overeating, or excuses
of any kind. Good general health
maintained at a high standard by
right living, is the best possible safe
guard against pneumonia or any other
germ disease.
Don't indulge to excess in alcoholic
iquors. Those who become addicted
to alcohol reduce their resistance to
pneumonia and increase the liability of
death from it.
Don't sleep with the bedroom WIN
dows closed. Night air is purer than
day air; it contains less dust and few
er germs.
Don't permit direct drafts to blow
on you, whether in bed OF out.
Don't sit around with wet feet or
in wet clothing.
Don't permit any one who a
pneumonia to pass it on to YOU. Treat
pneumonia as a catching disease"
