Use Ferns as Food

From the Seattle Cor. New York Sun.
 The common fern or brake that grows in the Puget Sound country is good to eat, according to University of Washing ton Japanese students. Several Japanese families have been gathering the stems of the plant on the campus recently. They are boiled and eaten like "fuki," the Nipponese rhubarb, or the American asparagus.
 To take out the acid taste of the fern the stems are boiled in water, to which ashes are added. When nearly cooked the water and ashes are poured off. Clean boiling water is then poured on and the cooking is completed.
 When done the dish is called "warabi, D and is considered a great delicacy. War abi may be eaten at once, or it may be dried and stored away for winter use. When mixed with oysters it is called "sho-yu," which means oyster sauce. The food can be mixed with most meats, shellfish and vegetables.
 History shows that the Puget Sound Indians made bread of the fern root when the first white men came to the country. They pounded the roots to a pulp and then baked the mass.
 Professor Rigg of the botany depart says that the fern contains more starch than the potato. White people do not eat ferns because they are too fibrous

nitions that there was no longer much need for them to turn to the United States for commodities of this kind. Now in. the closing days of the present fiscal year the indications are regarded as very strong that exports will continue to in crease in the first six months of the next fiscal year, beginning July 1, as they have increased in the last six months of the present fiscal year.
 When the statisticians in Washington, early in July, make their preliminary and general report of the record made in the fiscal year just ending, they are likely to call special attention to the fact that in June exports from New York city alone made in a single week new record. It was in money value a little under s1O0.O00000. A record of this kind maintained throughout the year would reach the stupendous aggregate in F months of nearly $5,0Oo,0OO. Exports from other United States ports have been for the past six months a little less than one-half the money value of the exports of New York.
 The allies, or four of them-Great Brit ain, France, Russia and Italy-were the purchasers of the greater part of the commodities exported to South America are increasing and in the second week of June were considerably more than twice as much money value as was the case in like period of 1915.

BELIEVE INIT ID THE VERY LIMIT"
 SAYS DR. PARKER
Alabama Dentist Relieved of Trouble He's Had 12
 Years-Praises Tanlac

Dr. S. J. Parker. the well known dentist who lives at Roanoke, Ala, is still another medical man to come forward and give his unqualified in dorsement to Tanlac. the new medicine that is being taken, talked about and praised from one end of this country to the other
 didn't believe Tanlac would do what people were saying it would, frankly admitted Dr. Parker to num- Der of friends at Trent's Pharmacy in Roanoke recently. but since it has relieved me of troubles I've had for 12 years, l simply believe in it to the limit!'
 I've had a bad form of stomach trouble accompanied by chronic head aches." the doctor continued. "and this has stuck to me for all these years in spite of the fact that I've tried a number of highly recommended medi- c1nes and taken some of the most ap- proved treatments for the trouble. Nothing-absolutely nothing-relieved me entirely until I took a course oi four bottles of Tanlac; and now I can state emphatically that it has cured me. I'm a well man and I feel better than I've ever felt before in all my life.

 About this time Tanlac was being so highly indorsed everywhere that thought I would test it's action in my case. and I hadn't finished the first bottle before I saw it was getting re- suits It set my stomach in order and effectually and completely relieved the other disorders and conditions SrowinS out of it.
 T am now firmly convinced that Tanlac is a great medicine and I be :. lieve it will reach any trouble such as mine. The claims made for it are certainly not too great and I can cer- ta1nly recommend it in the highest terms"
 When this case was reported to Mr c. F. Willis. southern distributor of Tanlac. at his Atlanta office he said ::
 statement like this. coming from the source it does. leaves nothing more to be done in establishing the remark able powers of this great medicine The best evidence of a medicines merit is what people who have actually taken 1t have to say about it, and this is es. pecially true when the person making the statement belongs to an import : ant branch of the medical profession as Dr. Parker does."
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham eX- clusively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug Co. It is sold in Bessemer by the Pegram Patton Drug Co.,; in Ensley by the D. w, Morris Drug Co.,; in Pratt City by the Gale Drug Co.,; and by regularly es- tablished agencies in all principal towns of the state.-Adv

LETTERS TO EDITOR
New Club at University

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: | Since writing you a few days since with reference to the splendid healthful conditions at the university and Tusca- loosa. another matter has transpired here
 which is of much importance and very interesting.
 You know our university is known far
 and wide for it's "frats,' but another or
 ganization was perfected here today by
 very select set which makes the
 "frats" look like full moon on bright
 sunny day.
 l This select group is composed of some
 of the most beautiful and popular young
 ladies at the summer school They are
 not only beautiful and popular, but they
 are very bright so bright that they
 fairly sparkle.
 1 This new organization is composed of the red headed girls of the University
 Summer school and is called "The Uni
 versity Headlights
 l Their motto is: "All-Reddy." l The young ladies met, according b
 previous engagements, at o'clock p. m. | in front of the library, and proceeded
 to organize. There were 21 charter mem
 bers, and it bids fair to have a mem
 bership of at least 100 in very short
 time if all join who are eligible. 1 There are also quite number of young
 gentlemen here who possess, in a consid- erable degree, somewhat strawberry
 blonde complexion, and they earnestly and anxiously sought membership in | this very select society, but nay! there
 was nothing cooking for this saucy set
 of sorrel tops The line of demarcation was very closely drawn, and none but
 the dainty danes were allowed member
 ship therein
 While this cotere of selects was l assembling the heavens seemed to be | greatly illuminated, as though some vol | cano had sent up tons of hot lava, and l many thought the university buildings i were on fire. The pumping station was l quickly put into operation at full ca pacity the volunteer fire department was | called out, and some other young ladies,
 who happened not to possess so many l bright qualities as the selects be- 1 gan to sing
 | "Scotland's burning! Scotland's burning. 1 Lookout! Lookout! Fire! Fire! Fire. Pour on the water! Pour on the water! | About this time the '.headlights' came marching across the 'guad" to the mess hall, and it was seen that it was not a great confiagration, but the membership of the latest and most popular "club' at the university
 Allow me to say just here, MT. Editor, that the university summer school is a hummer. The enrolment is the largest in the history of the summer school, and the student body is down to serious work. Many are working for Higher grade of certificate, while others are working
 credit, and great many are working
 just to broaden their Knowledge of edu-

 One of the most unique and con venient fish hatcheries of the govern ment is located near Laramie. Wyo., where sources of good water are few and far between, the region being semi desert. This hatchery is an arti- ficial pond fed by never-failing ar tesian well which flows of course night and day.

After all that work on the reluct- ant MT. Tardy I am firmly convinced there is no justice in this vale of tears. J. D. Leslie always was lucky guy. IT you don't believe it, ask somebody where he sat at the banquet Saturday night. l can't see why he should be so lucky. He never did anything did he?
 
 Capt. H. B. Kennedy's presence at the banquet Saturday night graced the occasion. It is good to see him in a crown of live wires, exchanging good stories.
 Tom Epperson also was among those present at the banquet, and he was indeed welcome. Mr. Epperson is one of the most popular travellers in this neck of the woods, and it is always a pleasure to see him, for he always has some thing good to say
 Jim Robinson was at the banquet; also the smoker He has just returned from the annual convention of the T. P. A. or rather, he returned several days ago but had to have his palm beach cleaned before he could come out
 
 Commissioner John R. Hornady in his address Saturday night, asked the trav- elers to aid the passage of a constitu- tional amendment in November, providing for compulsory education. This is one of the most important matters ever pre- scented to the voters of the state, and that the travelling man will do his full part to bring about the passage of this amendment is assured. This is just to remind you to remember it.
 One of the beautiful acts of the asso- citation was the donation of $25 from the treasury to aid in the fight against tuberculosis The chief funds of the Anti Tuberculosis association are derived from the sale of Red Cross seals at Christ mas time, and the Alabama Travellers has the honor of being the first organized body of men to make a direct donation to the work against the great white plague
 Sid J4ee made a hit at the smoker Fri day night. He is the dean of the sales manship craft, if such it can be called, and his friends on the road are innum- erable.
 :. The meeting next year will be at Montgomery. It is not too far from any part of the state, and the outlook for a huge attendance is very bright accord- ing to Coke Smith, who lives there, and who declares the town is not at all dead contrary reports notwithstanding Let's all go!

 about the ways of cities of all sizes. But it isn't going to last. We are very sure of that It just couldn't, you know. Broadway will never stand for it very long.
 Myrtle is seriously contemplating spending the rest of the summer at some quiet place like Alexander City. She says one might as well be entirely out of it, as to be compelled to go home at 2:2C a. m. every morning, because one could never get to sleep that early anyhow. But MT. Mitchell seems to be very firm about it-really, so I suppose all us regu- lar fellows will simply have to start our evenings an hour or two earlier than we have been doing heretofore. I think I'll talk to Dune Rousseau, the | mayors secretary, who, by the way, is "Theodore'' Rousseau now, thiugh he Theodore" Rousseau now, though he Nashville before he became secretary to the mayor of New York city and a pos sjbility for future police co1.y1issioner.

New York, June 25.-(Special.)- )-All us regular fellows up here are sore. We are more than sore-we are injured and inconsolable. It's this man Mitchell who is mayorink over us, who has caused all the despondency-you know, the man that plays soldier at Plattsburg, and gets more publicity out of it than all the rest of the rockies combined
 We'll he has issued an order to the effect that all cabaret places must close at 2:20 a. m. Just fancy. Why, Myrtle told me herself, only last night, that no fellow could really give a girl good time in New York any more now. She said that the lights didn't begin to look real warm and bright before that hour in the morning, and besides if a couple had just met that evening it took that much time to get well acquainted.
 Only a short while ago this same MT. Mitchell used to dance around at the cabaret places until all hours, they tell me, but now that he is so saturated with Plattsburg and preparedness he seems to think everybody ought to go home at 2:20 just because he gets tired at that hour himself
 or course, we know-Myrtle and L. that there will be places where we can get in after that time, and find some thing doing, but one has to take S, much trouble to learn the ropes, if you
