Secretary one thousand per month for
cigarette money, and then he would
would have to get a new one, and no
body wants the job. Jeff told q lots
attend to his duties. Otherwise we
of things tho that is going TO give
us the right spirits if we carry his
ideas out, and / want to thank him
personally for not touching On that
motto in the Scriptures that says lay
your bills. He also added that when
he was here in 1908 we had. oil
depot here and lots of schooners, / Ut
it was just vise-versa now jeff
should have not said that IS lie is
sorter stepping on our toes so 70 speak.
as we miss them schooners rs much
as he does. He also went on TO say
that there was 81 thous. Kiwaa'ans
in the u. s. that any time we visited
them, they would welcome US and givs
us free lunches. l noticed that Harry
Thompson made special note of that
statement. He said that a true XII
wants don't live for himself alone.
When he said that / felt lots better.
as it seems / am Twin to just make
money to pay out for bills for some-
thing that l have already eat.
You should ought to have been on
the boat ride too that was a 7corker.
Everything was free and we had a
man there to hand you cigars and
bottled refreshments just as you
wanted them. / won't mention any
names, but / believe that there was
some of that right spirits aboard. as
others who already had the right
before long, Miller. Burke and several
spirits wanted to know why the boat
had two bows. They also saw two
Navy Yards, two FIT. Barrancases, and
two Santa Rosa islands. Well l saw
Jim Watson and billiard diving in TO
them sandwiches and soft drinks so
much thateI decided to- get a share
of what / had paid or promised TO
pay my good money for, SO I just
helps myself TO three 10c cigars, and

other one. They amt nothing like be-
ing fair in this world, and that's what
mean to do.
/ don't know anything about the
dance, as / amt been yet, as that is
to happen at the S. Carlos at o'clock.
But 1 guess them fellows with the
right spirits will be there with bells
on, anyway am glad this wont be

would mean disaster.

must be added some
thing else to be sure enough XII
wanian. 1 don't know if he means
something to drink or just a personal
Eity. He didn't dissect that part of his
statements. When he did say that
Harry Thompson and Millers face
frightened right up. as they seemed
to have added something else before
the meeting. 1 didn't know there was
any more of it in town.
He also said that at these informal
dinners we meet people who we as
sociate with and trade with, and know
them better. l always like to meet
people that I associate with but it
would be better If they didn't have so
many in the club that / trade with.
L can read their minds, and they are
wondering where / get the spare ka1e
to pay for my dinner. when they all
have me on their books for a couple
of beans. A mans conscience is a
bad thing, and whenever 1 pick up a
pea on my knife that conscience says
that / have a bill to pay, but it is
funny how SO many other of the fell
lows can go right through a whole
meal and a extra plate if it is handy,
and their conscience don't hurt one
DIT. But got OH the track, so am
going to go back to that speech the
Chief made.
Well he goes on to say that how
power has developed in this country
and in the world in fact. First we
had hand power, then horse power,
then water power, then steam power,
then electric power, and on top of all
this we got the power of right spirit.
I amt mentioning any names. but ]
know for fact that them power of
spirits was drunk UP way before he
made his speech.
Well when we had about finished
with the chicken part of the menue
Kiwanian Betty from Montgomery, got
| up and said he couldn't make a speech,
that Judge Parrish that was to come
and make a speech from Montgomery
had passed the buck to him. He also
said that he didn't have much to say.
except that he thought the Pensacola
crowd was full of life. I think he had
some of that power of right spirits,
because he talked just like a real sure
enough brave. AS 1 said before he
said he didn't have much to say, but
he talked about twenty minutes. ]
| didn't mind 1t much though as I was
having trouble trying to get that ice
cream out of the bottom of one OF

HIGH LIGHTS OF THE KIWANIANS

They amt no use talking but them
Mobile Kiwanis sure is a bunch of
lard workers They were working SO
iard trying to raise money for the
l. NJ. G. A., that they couldn't send a
delegation over to attend our big
blowout we were having in honor OF
III the Kiwanis in the U. s., Canada

much space. and every body knows
B'ham stands for Birmingham. Any
way we were sure glad to have them
two delegates with US. and they made
fine speeches, and told us lots of
things we ought to do and not to do.
We are glad anyhow that we didn't
have any delegates from Mexico, as
understand from inside informal ton
that they are still having trouble with
the greesers. and they might have
sent up greeser, and no telling what
trouble he might have occasioned. As
for Canada. they amt got straight
ened out from the effects of that last
war we had year or 50 ago with
them Germans. that is they amt set

wanted to impress on our visitors that
we had something here beside that
hot air we often hear about. Well,
he went on to say what a beautiful
harbor we had, and that a man could
start from Palafox wharf early in
the morning, and take a tour up East
Bay without striking land, and then
go up Escambia river and see the
beautiful water lillys along the edge
of the river, and see the sun rise.
which threw beautiful light on the
celestial domiciles of the fishes that
live in them waters, and how you
could catch enough of said fishes for
dinner in a hour then come back down
Escambia River, then through East
Bay, then Pensacola Bay and get back
in time to have the fish for dinner.
He also added that we had the most
natural advantages of any city on the
Gulf coast. 1 agree with him that
them is natural advantages we have,
and unless we get the Centennial that
Doc Renshaw is trying to get for US
them is still going to be natural ad-
vantages. He also added that Pensa-
cola has the most beautiful sunsets
for any town of its size in the South
That's another natural advantage we
have over them people who live in
caves.
Well before he got through he was
telling what Kiwanism meant and the
first thing that I don't agree on is
that he said Kiwanism meant cor
poration. Now if he had been reading
up on the current events as much as
me, then he wouldn't of said that.
saw in the paper about week age
where the Government was jumping
with both feet on corporations, ano
it's against the law to corporate, the
Government says. that reduces
com petition, and makes prices go up
While / don't blame him for saying
that Kiwanis believed in corporation
but when a man don't read as much
as you and me we can't expect him
to keep up with current events. He
then piled dignities on dignities sc
to speak when he also added that t.

S. Carlos.
Then that fellow Bradford of the
Journal gets UP to make a talk. /
also think his speech was as good as
the one made when Harvey Bayiess
asked me to speak on the Centennial
He talked along different lines tho
from what the Big Chief did, as he
program a couple of places. / don't
see how that happened. as / wouldn't
said Miller had showed him I'D on the
let Miller shove me up on anything.
He went on to enumerate the things
that our club had done in Pensacola,
among them was the Cotton Compress,
and that road through Baldwin coun-
ty to Mobile. He also added that in
as much as the Mobiles hadn't sent
over a delegation to our meeting, he
thought we ought to do away with
that idea, and built something towards
Montgomery or birmingham, where
we had some delegates from. I don't
agree with him altogether as they
amt any use taking offense at Mo-
bile. / just took it for granted that
Mobile didn't have as good speaker
as me and him was and they was
ashamed to send some body. / always
consider the source and try to show
the right spirit.
Then billiard got up to make a
apology to Mr.. j. n. Andrews, as they
had put his picture in the paper over
the name of Mr.. Andrews. He got off
pretty well with it, but / think he
ought TO apologize to Mr.. Andrews in
person. as he acknowledged it was a
insult to. the aforesaid.
Jeff Bailey from B'hamS got up then
to present the charter, but by the time
he got through talking thought that
charter was going to wear out in his
hand Jeff told a pretty good mule
story. He said as how niger got
fired from the army with three hun
dred dollars in his pocket and when
the Colonel asked him what he was
going to do with that money, he re-
piled that he was going home and
buy two mules. One was going to be
named Sargent and the other Lieu
tenant and he was going to beat them
mules until they died. While Jeff
was showing some of the right spirits
on his face, l don't think he was
showing the right spirit in his heart,
when he told such a inhuman story
to them soft hearted Kiwanis. Jeff
went on 70 say how we could make

we expect to hear from them. II they
could just see them fine fighting craft
AS soon as they do get settled though
in our bay belonging to the L. S.
Navy, then they wouldn't be afraid
to send all the delegates they got
If you wasn't present and didn't hear
that speech that our big chief made,
VIZ: Holsberry, then you missed the
Opportunity of your life. as 1 consider
that speech one of the best that
have heard in many a day. l con-
slider that speech equally as good as
the one I made, when Harvey Bayless

DRAW POISON THROUGH SKIN
Baltimore Physician Believes He Has
an Effective Cure for Rheuma-
tism in New Idea.

Dr. Fred Pridham of Johns Hopkins
hospital in Baltimore has devised
treatment for joint affections, such as
rheumatism, that is being used very
successfully at the military hospitals
where it has been introduced. He
uses mineral, double nitro-peroxide,
which actually extracts the infamma-
ton.
The salt is mixed with starchy
substance which holds its action until
it is placed on the skin over the dis
eased bone, from which it extracts the
impurities, the germs and their poi
sons.
The material is sprinkled on lint
or gauze and placed on the skin over
the diseased bone. When the doctor
removes the dressings, from six to
twelve hours later there will be seen
blisters on the skin. If there is no
infection the salt will not affect the
skin.

felt like whlmperlng.
Without another word. Jerry's broth
er got up. and, mutterlng to himself,
passed out of sight around the trav-

Jim was still whimperlng. This got
ON keys nerves; he gave him sharp
cuff on the side of the head. This
was the first time hand had been
raised against Jim since he had Joined
us months back. He gave key pste-
Gus look, and sticking his stump of a
tail between his legs disappeared from
the fire bay. Two days later Ikey
made up for that slap, because at the
risk Of his life, during an attack, he
raced into No Mans land under heavy
fire and brought in the bleeding body
