 Just few words to ask for some help. have a grandmother, who is s4. She would like some pieces of goods to make quilts for her granddaughters. EVELYN T." We have held up a bit upon the demand for pieces lately. But at S4 the grand mother should not be kept waiting for material for her'quilt. She is gallant old lady. for she projects quilts in the plural May she live to see them fin ished and partially worn out. I can inn agine her collecting scraps for her great grandchildren's bed coverings. Call for Old Linen T have some short clothes, also some baby pillow tops I shall be pleased to correspond with the other of six little ones I also wish to thank Cornerites for sending me the long wished for song.
 We are going down the valley, one by one l am still calling for old linen, es- pecially to be used in bandages. Has any one of the Cornerites an air cushion to give to a needy invalid? NURSE B."
 We breathe a benediction involuntarily at seeing or hearing the name Whatever may be inTusted to Nurse B. is sure to be worthily bestowed. Let us forthwith get together the old soft linen she has asked for once before. In a paragraph of the letter meant for my eyes alone she explains the urgent need of it. Are there not old napkins and handkerchiefs that may be hurried off to her? And an air cushion for the needy invalid? We cannot afford to disregard any of the petitions indorsed by this faithful yoke fellow

 music, motion; 1t is wonderful what a place it makes in their lives!'
 Tn our tour I expect to use the folk dancing whenever it is possible in con- junction with our folk songs." Miss Knight said. 1T expect to engage the best talent in each town-the children and teach them the various folk dances. Miss Margaret McAdory has designed the costumes for me, and they are lovely; you know how capable and talented she is in this line, and think the pretty cos- tuning will add great deal to this form l of entertainment MT. Lawrence, whom consider one of the most artistic and talented artists I have ever known, has been of tremendous value to us in our
 work; his suggestions have been excellent and in preparing our programme he has been instrumental in selecting the best and the most popular form of recital work. I feel greatly encouraged over our prospects, and 1t is my sincere de- sire to add substantially to the funds
 now being raised for the flood suffer- CTS of North Carolina

T think the time is opportune for Ala pathy for the flood sufferers of North
 Carolina in a substantial. practical man. ner. I have a great many warm per- sonal friends in North Carolina, and my heart has been touched to it's depths over the terrific havoc and loss of property, homes and business from the recent floods. Many are without food and
 many without shelter; many whose homes were the rendezvous for all things beautiful and artistic, music and art. are
 now thrown out into the world to start life over again; to commence again to l build. With this spirit of comaradarie for those whom I know and love in the great commonwealth of North Carolina, I am giving my services, and that of | two of my most talented and accom- plished pupils, in order to raise funds for the benefit of the sufferers"
 we shall make our initial bow in our folk song recital in Franklin, N. G." Miss Knight continued T have often visited Franklin, and I have great | many friends there, and I feel that our efforts will be cordially received, and that we will start out under favorable | auspices. We hope to make a very com plete tour of the state, going to Ashe- vile and other larger cities, which have | suffered from the floods.'
 Tn choosing g. programme of folk songs," Miss Knight observed, T feel that we will present something very l unique, and quite different from the gen. eral run of musical programmes. When was in Tuscaloosa the early part of the summer, I introduced the folk songs and | the folk dances into my work at the uni versity, the two. the singing and the dancing, go so beautifully together, and in my work at the State Normal school I find also that the folk dancing ap- Ipeals very largely to the students. Take those from the rural districts, for in- | stance; they never hear the word danc- ing, and sometimes they never even hear l the word singing; imagine their delight

modern surgeon to operate for trivial ana unnecessary causes. The burden of the
 medical teaching of today Is how to per- form operations and not how to prevent
 them or cure without them. Dr. Wood
 all maintained that greater skill was necessary in effecting cure without an operation than in performing the opera
 ton.
 Beginning with the ordinary and simple
 ailments for which drugs are usually given for palliation. the speaker showed
 how these were cured by the adjustment
 of the bony structures of the spine and pelvis. From these he passed to the more serious conditions for which operations
 are performed. Of these displacements and inflammatory conditions were espe-
 cially mentioned. By series of stereop-
 ticon slides, the causes of these condi-
 tions and the manipulations necessary for
 thein cure were graphically illustrated It was shown that in many cases the op- erations as now performed merely change one condition for another equally as bad . Cures by the osteopathic methods were not so spectacular as the surgical opera ton, but the cure was not attended by the dangers nor the long convalescerce attendant upon surgery. pr. Woodall in- sisted that no woman should be subjecapd to the dangers of a mutilating operatN until the conPservative powers of os- teopathy had been tested. From its re- suits there is still an appeal to the knife if necessary. but after the knife there is no recourse. The osteopaths are all edu-
 cated along surgical lines and when sur
 gerry is necessary, they advise #.

In regard to the query in the Corner about burgoo, in the popular American sense of the word, it is defined by one dictionary as follows: A kind of soup made with many different kinds of meat and vegetables, highly peppered and served hot popular in Kentucky and other places especially at barbecues, pie nics, and other outdoor feasts' Another query about it would rather make the songs of a nation than the laws The expression is said in high authority to have originated with Andrew Fletcher of Saltown. and Englishman, born 1653 died l7l6.

K TO name in Alabama is more fa-
 M mifiar-none more beloved-than
 | that of Miss Gabriella Knight, the efficient and capable instructor of voice in the State Normal school at Flor ence.
 From every section of the state comes a representative to this normal school, and his or her education is not consid- cred quite complete until Miss Knight has
 matriculated them for her classes and
 once under her sweet influence, her won- ability and her beautiful character leave an impression that is lasting in it's benefits and always a pleasant memory in the hearts of the students who at
 tend the normal school.
 Miss Knight, with characteristic sym pathy and a genuine love for humanity. has undertaken, during her vacation, most commendable work; although her duties keep her busy during the scholastic year at the State Normal school. and the early part of her vacation has found her employed at the summer school as in- structor of voice at the university at Tus- caloosa, still she has found time to come to Birmingham, and with two of her most talented pupils, Miss Florice Shanks, and Miss Martha Lee Smith, to prepare a
 programme of folk songs to be given
 throughout North Carolina during this
 month for the benefit of the flood suf- ferers. MT. Robert Lawrence, Birming- hams well known and popular voice
 teacher, has ben busily engaged coach ing" and training Miss Knight and her
 pupils for the tour they are about to make.
 Miss Knights work with the State Nor
 nal Glee club has been one of the finest things that she has done for Alabama the most complimentary and gratifying press notices have been accorded the glee club wherever it has appeared and as an organizer and instructor Miss Knight has few equals. Among the many attractive things that have been said about Miss Knights ability and success none is morec complimentary than Glenn billiard Gunp's, the noted Chicago critic and pianist, who said:.
 'I have known Miss Gabriella, Knight and her work as teacher and musician for the past 10 years, and it gives me great pleasure to express my unQudHIieu approval of her talents and attainments as singer, as musician and as teacher Her education has been acquired both in this country and in Germany, under very able teachers and this preparation has been reinforced by many years o1 practical experience in the work of teach ing.
 T do not hesitate to recommend her services in any capacity in which sds may offer them"
 In speaking of the tour that she is about to make in North Carolina, Miss Knight said a few days ago:
