The Poetry Boom
rom the New Republic.

From the New JepuplAS.
 Surely this is the golden age of poetry-if we measure by the bushel. The phenomenon is deeply characteris- tic of us; it is the product chiefly of Q social motive. For generations we have been accused of lack of attention to the arts. Our poets, it was said, had been diverted to finance or engineer ing. Therefore we organized boom. Magazines were founded for the pub lication of poetry societies educated us in it's appreciation, prize contests en- couraged it's production, new theories secured for it publicity. We inflated ourselves for aesthetic uplift. The freedom for experiment. is good; the readiness to welcome is good. No one can doubt the deep earnestness of many of those who have helped to give us verse; and to say that no worthy poetry has recently come to birth would be absurd. But the whole move ment resembles little too much the linen and religion" campaign and the "city beautiful' propaganda of cham bers of commerce, It would be social ly profitable, we decide, to become a nation impregnated by beauty; there fore we set to work to make beauty out of hand

 We would not attempt to hold you up again, not even for dime from every body, but for tour flag" and incidentally we need a little small change from every citizen of Birmingham.
 But be patient, be good humored and give-that:
 The veterans may be made comfortable.
 That they may have three good meals each day.
 That they may sleep more peacefully.
 That they may have the best music.
 That they may go home and tell of the royal entertainment and hospitality of Birmingham
 That the reunion will be @ pleasant memory to those who came and those who entertained.
 That the bills may be all paid promptly.
 This is what your dime will help other dimes to do, and this is why there is another ''tag day.
 LII d0NdHCS W6 LeCl llle ilCCSSSAty OL dotN- ing you to be good natured, of apologiz- ing to you for asking you to divide ySur small change with us so often. But this is another good cause, born of patriotism and love of the country. Now that we have asked your forbearance we are ge- ing to ask your enthusiastic cooperation to make this the very best reunion Of the old veterans during the period Of Al years to preserve this little flag until nd thraa days Nav 16 r, IS, in full view of the public, that you may be designated $ a Birming- hammer and hold yourself in readiness to help with your guests, to give informa- tion to be glad they are here, and to be with them all you can

Meet the ladies on May 9th with your Sunday smile and make them feel you are delighted to see them on the corners ana wish they were there every day-even if you do go home and say.

 Three Years. Suffered Dread full Pains. Praises Cardui

Thomasville, N. C.-Mrs J. w. veach, sAbout Is years ago, I was confined to my bed almost all the time for two or three years, and suffered agony dur ing that time. I suffered dreadful Abdomen. I seemed to suffer all over, -and I felt I would welcome death. could not sleep at night and was awfully nervous I read of Cardui in the Almanac and thought I would try it, as I felt I must have some re- lief from this awful suffering, for I had lost my flesh. weighing only 94 lbs. I was getting weaker all the time and felt I would die if I didn't get something to help me.
 I sent for one bottle of Cardui, and after its use was improving. I then bought six bottles for $500. for I had seen 1t was helping me. The pain was relieved. could sleep at night. My nerves got better. I got several more bottles and had regained my health, strength and flesh, and weigh my usual weight. My housework IS a pleasure now. I have as good health as anybody I consider Cardui 2 saved my life"
 Such letters as these leave no doubt av to the beneficial medicinal action of Cardui.

A Drink Called Mamma

My mother, who is S2 years of age, used to have a drink called mama. No one seems to known about it, so I have thought you or some of your readers could help me out It looks like tap- ioca, only pure white. little of it placed in a glass jar and covered with water will multiply rapidly. The jar will soon be full. The little kernels keep shooting up to the top of the jar in the water and seem to burst open so for every kernel that goes up two go back down to the bottom of the jar. Do you suppose it is the same kind of man ma that fell in olden times that the Bible speaks of? By mixing it with other ingredients 1t makes drink quite popular years ago with Swedish people. I should like to know what the ingredients are, as I have really forgot ten. It would make my mother happy If once more she could have some of this mama. ELEANOR
 Answering your last query first. there is no reason to believe that any of the substances now known as mama are at all akin to the food that Hay like hoar- frost on the ground" in such quantities that hundreds of thousands of Israelites subssted upon it for 10 years It was like corlander seed, white, and the taste Of it was like wafers made with honey wafers signifying thin cakes of unleav- ened bread. Modern science, in the ef- fort to do away with the miraculous feature of the story, has explained that desert storms in Arabia still tear up and carry to great distances sort of white lichen gathered and eaten by the natives. They also talk of the droppings of various species of resinous trees Let that pass! In Sicily the mama ash is cultivated for the sake of the sweet ish exudations which, gathered and dried are the mama of commerce. In other tropical countries similar products are sold as food and medicine. To this class of vegetable matter belongs the mama sold by druggists as a laxative None of these definitions covers the case you describe. I am curious, and readers as ignorant as I will be glad to know what is the nature of the rap- idly germinating plant of which your grandmother talks. Will botanists and druggists combine for our enlighten- ment? Can it be variety of the Ara bian lichen that sprouts in water and drops it's germs to spring up anew bearing it's fruit two-fold? The tale is interesting. Who will define this man. na for us? The sacred writers tell us that ''nan did eat angels food in the cesert." What kirship has this product to that?

Soda Taste in Biscuits

'Y. H. speaks about the taste of soda in biscuits. etc, made with sour milk and soda. If she will put about one tablespoon of cider vinegar in pro- portion to two teaspoons of soda with her liquids she will find that the taste of soda will disappear. I use soda all most altogether. Will you send me the addresses of Mrs. A. S. and Mrs R. s. ? I have a number of good Scotch recipes I will send if you can use them. They are right straight from Bonnie Scot land.' I wish the Corner many bless ings. J. D"
 My experience goes to prove that cream of tartar is more convenient and more likely to be measured accurately in the hands of a tyro than vinegar or lemon juice Still the acid of either serves the purpose of effervescing with the soda into a good 'raiser." Soda should never be used in bread or cake without this corrective. The addresses you ask for went duly to you by mail. We are impatient to see those Scotch repices. Let us have them at your early convenience

Mrs. Howze and Miss Bland Tomlinson two of the very best players, will be on the ground early in time to go over the course, as will several others. It is a source of much regret to the play CTS that Miss Mary Munger and Mrs. w. W. Hazard (Belle Roberts, will not attend for both made brilliant records al recent tournament.
 Mrs. E. M.
