Give US men!

Give US men.
Strong and stalwart ones;
Men whom highest hope inspires,
Men whom purest honor fires,
Men who trample self beneath them,
Men who make their country wreathe then
As her noble sons.
Worthy of their sires;
Men who never shame their mothers,
Men who never fail their brothers,
True, however false are others:
Give us men-l say again,
Give US men.

Spring Coats Quite Attractive

With or without good reason, the price of suits and coats has advanced this spring; therefore, be it resolved that they be purchased with care. If the spring outfit demands either suit or coat 1t should be bought in the best quality that can be afforded One may economize more safely in house gowns or any other apparel than in street clothes. The best art of the weaver who makes the materials and of the cutter who shapes the garments Is required in them. And in wearing them the smart dresser has chance to show distinguished judgment. There is nothing she looks better in than tasteful suits and coats.
 A very handsome model that will not become tiresome with daily wear is shown in the picture. It is made of tan covert cloth in a light shade, with an inlay of black velvet on the collar and cuffs. It is one of many examples

Had Nothing to Sell Her.

In a certain English provincial town there lives an old maid who has the reputation of being about the fast est talker on record, added to which her tongue has more than the average amount of venom. One day recently, however, she met her match. A ped dler called on the lady, and had the impotence to ring the front-door bell. A moment later the door was opened, and when the lady saw who it was she at once gave him a piece of her mind, finally concluding with:
 And now then you can be of. There's nothing you can sell me that will be of any use to mel"
 The peddler, who was evidently no novice at getting his own back. turned on his heel, sweetly saying as did so:
 No, mum, seeing as 'ow I'm only sellin' mouse-traps an not muzzles, I don't see as 'ow there isl"

CHARM IN SOUTHERN CITY
Magnolia Gardens on the Ashley in Charleston Are Wonderful in
 Early Spring.

Threadlike alleys diverge from principal streets and in these narrow precincts are substantially built houses of century or two ago, once the homes of well known colonial families, now the abodes of colored "mammies" or "aunties," with swarm ing broods of pickaninnies, the Phila- delphia Record says.
 In careless attire, with his black, beady eyes shining and broad, cheery grin, he gives you genial "Howdy, boss" and goes singing on his way. An admirable optimist, he enjoys plenty of leisure, many games of craps and little work now and then, although this is not absolutely necessary to his wellbeing, for, ac. cording to the burden of his song: No use fo' nigger 10 wu'k so ha'ad
 When he got a gal In de 'Buckrd ya'ad. ED cry evenin' at hal past eight,
 tek my stan by de 'Buckr'd gate, An wait fo' de gal wid de 'Buckr'd plate.
 Places around Charleston are not devoid of interest or beautiful scenery. Fort Sumter, too well known historically to need descriptions; Sul- livan's island, where Edgar Allan Poe laid the scene of his story, ''The Gold en Bug" is also the site of Fort Moul- trie, an old fortress that for years had Osceola, the Seminole chief, pris- oner in one of it's dungeons, and his remains now rest within the ram parts.
 A trip to Magnolia gardens on the Ashley, with the perfect riot of color among the flaming azalias, will en- trance the flower lover in March, and, after motoring out to Drayton hall, rustic old estate, through moss-draped woods and tangled clusters of fra grant jessamine vines, one will have had most convincing evidence of the restfulness and charm of southern scenery.

Hello. This you, Grace? This is me. Edna. Edna Stimmers. Oh, didn't you? Oh, nothing special, l just thought I'd call you up. How you been, Grace? That's nice. Oh, thought you said well. That's too bad. Oh, have you? Geraldine Toots had to go to the hospital for that.
 Say, Grace, who do you s'pose saw downtown yesterday? Imogene Spiggs. Positively! Funny how we never think of her as Mrs. Skattles. Grace, guess! She's left him! What? But I've got her own word for it. always mistrusted that man. My dear, the ties he wore.
 Geraldine and I went in and had a sundae at Pflaumer's. Have you been in there lately, Grace? We'll, don't. They're only putting a thimbleful of whipped cream on their sundaes now.
 Did you see my picture in the Blaze? I was bridesmaid, you know. Oh, didn't you? warned the reporter not to put my picture in the paper when I gave it to him, but you can't trust those reporters.

PLAN TO SAVE YOUR MONEY
Best Way to Place It in Depository and Then Forget It-Largo Sums
 Spent Foolishly.

Well, MT. Man, how much did you spend foolishly last night?
 Have you stopped to think how much you must have in the bank to earn that sum in a year?
 You blew in five dollars? Do you realize that at the best interest you can get in bank or in building and loan that this represents the years earnings on s100?
 This is not new thought, but per- haps you have never considered your expenditures in this way.
 Ten to one you have often wished for thousand dollars. If you had it what would you do with it?
 Put it out at interest" But what would it be worth to you as an earn ing force if you spent the whole amount of interest in the rounds of one or two nights?
 If you are not buying home you should be laying aside certain part of your salary each week.
 Leave it in depository; forget that you have it..
 When you begin to draw interest on interest, you are on the right track toward a snug little nest egg.

DREADED LARGE WINE BILL
Pretty Dancer Attempts to Evado Consequences as Result of "SwaI-
 lowing Bean" at Fete.

That evening the management of invited players, authors and some priv ileged friends of the house to come and share q cake and draw the bean,' as the French say, for it was the day of the Fete des a}ois and that is the way to celebrate it. It was agreed on this occasion, however, that whoever drew the bean, and by that favor be- came king or queen, must pay for the wine for all the company.
 The cake was distributed. Sudden ly a pretty young dancer got between her teeth an object as to the identity of which she could entertain no doubt at all; at the same moment she had 6 vision of the lot os money her brief hours of royalty were going to cost her-and heroically she swallowed the bean. Unfortunately this little byplay did not quite escape notice It was observed, or rather divined. by the young woman's right-hand neighbor, youthful scribbling person, who had enjoyed some small success as ShctNn NlllGlJ lO hSG tAe ldllEu1sS rather of Broadway than of Mont martre. He did not tell on the young woman exactly. He waited till the cake was all eaten and no bean had been forthcoming, and all the com pany were looking at each other with unconcealed surprise not unmingled with suspicion.
 Good heavens" he cried then, T do hope nobody has swallowed the thing, A dry, uncooked bean is one of the most violent and deadly pois- ons!"
 Mercy" burst out the dancer, I'm done for!"
 And she turned as pale as ghost and almost toppled from her chair, while the rest of the company shook with laughter. This unfeeling con- duct was near putting a finishing touch to the simple-minded young thing, but the author of the trick hastened to comfort and reassure her and to square himself completely as- sumed the obligation of the wine bill besides.

There are many formulas for mak- ing fumigating paper, one of the most simple being: Benzoin, 1 av. ounce; storax, one-half ounce; fumigating es- sence, 3 fl. ounce; ether, fl. ounce; acetic acid, glacial, 20 drops; alcohol, 2 fl. ounce. Dissolve the benzoin and storax in mixture of the alcohol and ether. filter, and add the fumigating essence and the acetic acid. Spread the mixture upon Altering or bibulous paper (blotting paper eg) and allow 1t to dry. To prevent sticking, dust the surface with talcum, and preserve in wax paper.

Physical Fitness Big Asset.


 No woman nowadays can afford not to be well.
 III health-even mere "delicacy," with no positive manifestations of disease-exists too much. There is the obvious, direct expense of doctors bills and medicines. But indirectly you pay much higher price for not being well. If you are wage earner your lost time and energy, due to a lack of physical strength, must also be computed in lost dollars.
 Poor health will interfere constant ly with your social good times. It will mar whatever beauty you may possess sooner than any other cause. If you are a wife and mother illness and weakness will interfere with your duties and the comfort of those dear to you. Whatever your station in life you will find that the role of in- valid and weakling is no longer fash ionable or popular. For while you will have the sympathy of your friends, but the best of them will be bored with you sooner or later They can't help 1t. A worship of physical fitness is in the air, and, instead of whining and pitying yourself you must bend all your energies to the task of becoming well.-Exchange.

Questions and Answers.

A Cherryvale historian has gone back through the files and produced this story:
 A woman with rapid-fire inter- rogatory apparatus approached news butcher on Frisco train out of Cher ryvale during the high water a few days ago and asked excitedly:
 Say, when is the train due at the next stop? How is it running? How deep is the water on the track? How do you sell your bananas?"
 The vender of fruit and literature, who was something of poet, an swered:

 The boudoir cap is made of wide light blue satin ribbon. The ribbon Is shirred and joined to the circular piece at the center of the crown with piping. A row of shirring makes a frill about the cap, and this is edged with quilting of very narrow ribbon like the cap in color. There Is fine lace frill over that of ribbon. A sash of narrower satin ribbon tied in a simple bow, with hanging loop and ends at left, is held to the cap by little clusters of tiny ribbon roses They are made in pink, blue and maize and set against tho sash at four places. two on each side.

Keeping Blooms Fresh.

Flowers begin to bleed as soon as they are cut, and the precious sap running out of them causes the cells to collapse immediately. To prevent this. the end of the stem must be quickly closed, and this is. best done by soaring in flame or by placing directly in hot water For corsage bouquets the soaring process is best, although little tedious, as each stem must be so treated.

Dainty Ribbon Belongings

All women love and want the dainty things made of ribbon, that blossom out each year along with the flowers of spring Those who exploit ribbons never overlook the Eastertime de- mand for accessories of dress made of their beautiful wares.
 Bags and vestees are made of the brighter and richest of wide ribbons.
 Circles for wear with lingerie gowns (which have already made their ap- pearance) are made of plain satin rib bons. and one of the best of the new designs is shown in the picture. The ribbon Is about five inches wide. of soft satin in light blue. Three pieces of equal length are folded along the center and these folds caught down with clusters of small ribbon roses in light pink.

APPLY FOR COMMISSIONS

Governor Henderson, the military depart ment and all regimental commanders were besieged during the day with appli = cations for commissions. Hundreds of such applications reached the capitol dur ing the day.
 Governor Henderson has no authority to grant commissions. The regimental com- manders have authority to appoint their staff officers, and similar authority is in the hands of battalion commanders. Company officers are elected by the mem- bers of their companies.
 Enthusiasm at the local armories to- day was intense. Signs of the greatest activity were manifested on all sides. The armories also were swarmed with re- cruits, young men desiring 10 enlist in the various companies.
 The point of mobilization here is at Vandiver park, about two miles from Montgomery. By Wednesday afternoon the entire field there will be dotted with tents. and thousands of troops will have gone into encampment. And there they will be required to work as they have never done before probably, for mobiliza- tion is a serious business. The soldiers will be required to drill ana perfect themselves in all the duties which they will be called upon to perform. Regular army officers probably will be detailed here to assist the local officers in get ting the men into shape for active serv- ice.
 How long the troops will remain in Montgomery is matter purely of con- lecture. Probably they will be here for months, and probably they will be ordered to move immediately to the American border.

PLAYGROUND TO OPEN

Bessemer, June 19.-(Special) )-Capt infantry, Alabama National Guard, is very much gratified at the result of the first days recruiting and he feels sure that the local company will be ready to leave Thursday morning with at least 15O men. Since the company received orders last night from Adt. Gen. G. J. Hubbard to mobilize in the local armory much ex- citement has been manifested in this city and all day groups of men. could be seen on the street corners discussing the sit uation. When seen this afternoon Cap tain Edmundson stated: My company is ready for service at present. and we will be ready to go to the regimental rem dezvous with the rest of the regiment by Wednesday or Thursday of this week We will in the meantime endeavor to re- cruit at least 200 men from this district and carry them into camp With us The
 men on the roster of the company at
 present have been notified and are de- lighted to have the opportunity of going away, and I do not believe that there is company in the state more prepared for service than we are. l feel that It
 is wonderful opportunity for the young
 men of this district, for there is nothing
 better for the average young man than
 military training"
 Maj. Thomas T. Huey, Spanish Amer ican war veteran, stated this afternoon;
 T believe that every young man should
 be allowed to go into military service, as they learn many things that could
 never be gained anywhere else in the
 world and the discipline, military train- ing and cleanliness taught in the army
 will prove very valuable to them later on
 in life. I would not hesitate to advise
 any parents to allow their boys to take
 advantage of this opportunity, as it IS
 sure to make men of them as nothing
 else could do' Major Huey has seen
 service and is very familiar with military tactics. Under the supervision of Lieut.
 Bruce Q. Nabers of the local company
 recruiting stations were opened at
 Brighton, Jonesboro, Morgan, Ensley and several other places in this section or te county and reports from these stations are that the recruits are coming in rap
 idly. Every night until the company leaves it will drill on the streets of Bes-
 semer and about 100 men appeared for drill tonight.

ON TO BIRMINGHAM

At least 10 or F golf players of Mont gomery are going to Birmingham this week to participate in the annual invita- ton golf tournament to be conducted over the course of the Birmingham Coun- try club. Among those who expect to go to Birmingham for the tournament are: Jack Howard J. M. Baldwin, w. H. Hurter. Charles H. Allen, J. M Inglis, Nash Read. Charles " Cornell, w. H. Gunter. Jr., J. M. Mason. l.. s. Betty and others.
 Montgomery golfers have always felt a keen interest in the tournaments at Bir- mingham. and good representation of local players have always attended those events. Their interest in attending the Birmingham tournaments, both at the Country club and the Roebuck Automo- bile and Golf club, has been largely due to the fact that a large representation of Birmingham players have always par ticipated in tournaments here Brming- ham sent about 25 players to the Mont gomery tournament here early in June and to Birmingham players were given several of the cups and prizes which were awarded by the local club
