BE CANNY

Get that canning impulse.
Make your hoe this summer keep
youi can opener busy next winter
Go, ready for the canning season
now. Regrets are the only things
ever canned in the jars you forgot to
order.
Can nothing that can be kept with
on, canning. Dry such vegetables as
corn, string beans, navy beans, ma
ture Lima beans, okra, etc.
You can brag about your garden all
winter IL you have canned evidence on
the dinner table.
Concentrate products, especially
soup mixtures, so that each container
will hold as much canned food and as
little water as possible.
Really there is nothing to canning
fruit and vegetables except care,
cleanliness, fresh products, jars, and
heat.

Medical Department Prob ably Object of More Wrong Ideas Than
 Any Other
DUTIES OF DOCTOR AND OFFICER ARE
 HARD TO COMBINE
Much More Is Necessary Than Thorough Educa- tiOn in Medicine to Make
 Good Army Officer
By M. HARVIE

Montgomery, April 14.-(SpeciaL) )-The tremendous happenings of the past few days have the country to thinking
 And, also, to talking. We have had much giving of advice, and, like Omar have heard much argument. From all quar- ters of the country have come sugges- tions as to how to meet the present crisis. Street corner orators and cross roads philosophers have been busy airing their ignorance and telling the govern ment how to run" the war And as is always the case, the men who are to see the war and experience it's horrors, and who naturally know most about such matters, have less to say than anybody
 Whatever plan the government may adopt to raise it's big army, one thing is clear-it will be mans size job. To col feet, train, arm and equip 100000 men will tax the resources of the nation to the utmost. Whether a million men will spring to arms overnight, as has been confidently stated, remains to be seen. It will probably require several nights for

and night in the week. and the gov ernor may call an extra session Os the legislature for the rest of the year, but unless they devise some plan by which we can get a little corn. meat and money. it will amount to nothing.
 Do like John Rogers of Gainesville, A1a. who tells the poor farmer take my lands and work them free of rent and come 10 me for meat, bread and corn to work these lands with,' and I assure you that Alabama will make 8 food crop for her own people and some to sell 10 the world.
 People are just waking up to what has. and what is going 10 happen. But fl is too late The planting sea- son is on hand and the best of the labor has gone. But if those that are left behind can get a little help until July or August, they will do their best to make crop.
 If Governor Henderson will ask the business men of the state who can and the banks to help the farmer, |. will do more good than calling an extra session of the legislature and save the state of that expense. Yours truly, F. w PETIT

At the meeting it wa. decided not to hold the meetings at the homes of the different members during the summer months as contemplated, but in the auditorium of the local headquar- ters.

Paul B. Stiff, son of MT. and Mrs. J. R. Stiff of this city, has been in the naval service since July. 1916
 After training he was assigned to the Neptune. He has visited many places of interest, including Cuba, Guantanamo, Haiti, Hawaiian Islands, San Domingo, Vera Cruz and other places of less in- terest. Paul writes interesting letters home of his experiences and has sent each member of the family some patriotic emblem. He seems also to be interested in curios judging from a collection of walking canes secured at Vera Cruz and forwarded to his father. They are beau tiful specimens of crude carving, executed by Mexican Indians. Before entering the service Paul was employed by the South ern Coupon company, where he was quite popular, as he also was around his home in Woodlawn.
 His many friends will be glad to know that he is well and happy since entering the service to the present time. His let ters, according to his father, have all had a pleasant ring to them and not one single dissatisfied expression has come from him. Paul loves adventure and is getting just what he wants-in fact, what lie has looked forward to since childhood His parents are proud of him, and feel no fear that he will ever prove false to their hopes.

 work. A soldier of the ambulance com pauy has job that is well qualified to keep him busy. He must know some thing of first aid and how 10 handle the injured He must be a good driver and
 a good horeman and be able and willing to stand fire without flnchins.
 Another step removed is the base hos pital, located at the base of operations perhaps hundreds of miles to the rear. It receives patients from the field hos pitals. brought to it by the ambulance care of all the cases sent back from the various other medical units, it is a very pretentious affair. It is equipped with every necessity and is in every respect a complete modern hospital. with it's full quota of doctors and nurses. Here the patients are cared for until they are

 other civilian can be employed at the front. The field service regulations spec Iify that the services of this association, l it's equipment and personnel, are utilized under the immediate direction of medical
 officers to the greatest extent possible in
 the care of sick and wounded in the serv- | ice of the interior and on the line of communications. Its services are not

 dous services of the medical department.

Without doubt the greatest thing yet discovered for hair disfigured woman kind is the wonderful phelactine method. II has none of the disad- vantages of eIectrolysis or depilatories and, best of all. it removes the hairs entire, roots and all! It does this in- stantly, leaving the skin so smooth and soft that no one can tell the user was ever the possessor of a moustache or other hairy growth. s@
 Phelactine is non -odorous, non-ir- ritatiuE, and so harmless child could eat it without any ill-effect. A stick of this remarkable substance, accompanied by simple instructions, can be obtained at any drug store, and its price will be refunded upon request in case of dis satisfaction.

labor to handle the harvesting and
threshing Of Its big crops. This prob

sparsity of population and the long dis

In Western Canada the present diff

small population have enlisted for serv-

Of harvest time. The situation, how

the action Of the Canadian militia de-

MoNRovIA NOT UGLY CITY
unprosperous and "shiftless," but Still
In Many Ways Place OF Attrac-
tion for the Tourist.

The one word that describes Monro-
via is "shiftless." Here came the for
mer negro slave in the early eighties,
backed by philanthropists who wanted
to see him given chance in his own
country. And here is the former ne
gro slave today, idling away his life
in the tropical luxuriance Of the jun
gle, which feeds him without cultiva-
ton, and watching his one big chance
fall to ruins.
After all, the negro can hardly be
blamed If he fails In task that has
tried the nerve of white men. Coloniz-
ing Liberia has not been all delight

lions, leopards and snakes In the
Jungle, which make rOad-building
dangerous occupation, and occasionally
the interior tribes Of negroes get OBJ
streperous and eat couple of their

Monrovia is pitiful, but not ugly.
