The Bow-Wo lows

We old boys look around us.
Upon the younger set; the
things we see confound us and
put us in a sweat. The young
are vain and giddy, they're
blowing in their mon. and Ben
jamin and Biddy have naught
in view but fun. There's no
high aspiration, the younger
bunch among: and we. in indig-
nation. forget the young are
young. When | was one and
twenty and Jane was seven
teen we wanted fun a-plenty,
and then some more, | ween.
And we went pleasure riding
behind my old bay mare; ro-
nance was then abiding around
us everywhere. But now I'm
old and dotty, and when the
young whiz by l think their
conduct naughty. and heave a
heavy sigh. ITO what is this
world coming" | cry aloud ;
"gadzooks, when kids in cars go
humming. instead of reading
books? Oh. whittier are we
drifting?" | murmur. with a
tear. when | see youngsters
lifting their stems of kickless
beer. 1t keeps my spirit fret
ting. SO | am all unstrung; and
! am still forgetting that young
folk must be young. This world
would swim in glory, and all
things would be gay. if little
boys were hoary and little girls
were gray. But youth must
have its inning. its laughter
must prevail. and age must have
it's spinning OF legends sad and

Truth About "Slab"
 Erected for Booth
 on Priuate Ground

Montgomery, July 1S.-(Special)- The monument erected in Troy, hon bring John Wilkes Booth for the murder of Abraham Lincoln, which Nebraska Veterans have asked rresi- dent Harding to destroy, was only a small marble slab, costing $25, which was erected by Pink Parker on his own private property, according to information obtained today. The monument long ago ceased to at tract attention, and the last heard Of II, 1t had been cast aside and was under the Parker home in Troy.
 Despite reports that it was erected in the sixties, the fact Is it was made In Montgomery about IS years ago on the order of Parker. The inscrip tion on it is as follows: Erected by Pink Parker in honor of John Wilkes Booth. for killing old Abe Lincoln." l. was placed in Parker's front yard, on Hanchey street. after the city re- fused to permit 1t to be placed on public property, Parker was nem Der Of the Fifteenth Alabama regi- ment in the War Between the States.

DOUGLAS MAGELLAN IN 4'ONE A MINUTE"

Douglas MacLean, with his famous personality. which made such a strik- ing impression when he was here in person a few weeks ago, is the star at the Strand today, tomorrow and Saturday in his latest Paramount-Ince production, "One Minute" said to be one of his cleverest comedies.
 MT. Mclean has the sort of role which ne likes best. It is that of a typical young American. enthusiastic, ambitious and full of pep" Jimmy Knight is the central figure of the story, and the adventures of the young lawyer who sets out to build up his fathers dying business are said to make snappy comedy.
 The idea of the feature Is based on p. T. Barnum's famous expression that there is sucker born every minute.
 MT. MacLean has the part Of small town druggist who battles with Syndicate headed by the father or the girl he loves, for the preservation or his business. How he beats the trust and how be wins the girl or ms choice, arefadmirably brought out m this n;cturization of Fred Jackson's celebrated stage farce.
 The supporting company, headed by Marian De Beck, a charming leading woman, proved exceptionally capanle in bringing out the contrasting eie- ments of the story. The picture was directed by Jack Nelson under MT Ince's superyision.

 In so doing. MT. Platt violated a section of the constitution which de- clares that no speech of a member of Congress shall ge questioned. There are precedents upon which Mir. Platt might be ordered before the bar of the House.

YEAST BEST WHEN TAKEN
 WITH IRON
If Weak, Thin or Rundown,
 Try This New Treatment in
 Tablet Form-Watch the Quick Results.

Everyone has heard of the apparent wonders performed by yeast in restor- ing thin, sickly and run down people to health. And now it Is found that even more surprising results are brought when yeast is taken with iron, the great blood builder.
 People who for years were weak, pale, anaemic and all rundown are re- gaining their strength and health al- most as if by magic through this re- markedly effective combination of tonics. And the best of 1t is that you can take it in pleasant table. forn--no need to eat yeast cakes, which are so disagreeable to many.
 The preparation in which these two great health. builders have been com bined is known as Ironized Yeast. This contains highly concentrated brewers yeast which is far more eff fectiye than ordinary bakers yeast because 1t is richer in vitamines. Vitamines, as we all know, is the mysterious element which Science has found to be so absolutely essential to health. Due to modern methods of food preparation vitamines are lack ing in most of our commonest foods and that is why so many of us be- come sickly and rundown.
 IT you are Su1Ierlng rom JOSS or strength, if you frequently become exhausted, if your food has no taste for you, or if you are irritable, thin, pale, nervous. or generally rundown, then try this remarkable new tonic.
 1ronized Yeast will in most cases bring a decided improvement within three days. It will ~sualiy clear up sallow or muddy complexions within ten days. From everywhere come en- thusiastic reports of what it Is doing tor people.
 It is packed in patented Sani-tape packages and will keep indefinitely. Its cost is no more per dose than the common yeast. Each package con- tains 10 days treatment and costs only sl.0e-or just Toe. a day. Special directions for children in each pack age. Made by the Ironized Yeast Company, Atlanta Ga. es

ARGENTINE AMT
 BECOMES MENACE
Has Reached Mobile, Mont gomery, Birmingham and
 Points on the L. & N.

Auburn, July IS -- (Special)-The seriousness of the Argentine ant, which has already appeared in Mo- bile, Montgomery, Birmingham and at several points along the Louisville and Nashville railroad between these cities, and also at Andalusia, Selma, Demopolis, Marion, Talladege. Syla- cauga and many other smaller places in Alabama, is described in a bulletin which has just come from the press entitled, The Argentine Ant and How to Control It," by pr. F. L.. Thomas. assistant entomologist for the experiment station.
 According to this bulletin, the Ar genuine ant was discovered at Mo- bile 10 years ago by II. r. Loding, a local entomologist, and it has been not only the cause of great annoy ance and loss to householders, but also material loss to property own CTS. In infested city sections it is not uncommon to find several houses in block which are either vacated or very difficult to rent because they are so overrun with ants. Although it is better known as a city pest, the country districts have not escaped its ravSses. Nurserymen and orchard ists, especially citrus growers, are among those who suffer most out side of the householders.
 The nests of Argentine ants may be found in almost any sort of loca- tion that offers protection from the elements--even under a newspaper on the ground and under shingles on the roof of house, inside of a manure pile, or in wooden porch pillars. The tendency is to construct nests in close proximity to an abundant food supply.
 Control Methods
 Different control methods are sug- gested, but united action is necessary if the results are to be permanent. The best time to trap them Is !n the winter time when by nature many colonies unite in the fall to make a single winter colony, which, If de- stroyed, will greatly reduce the mum Der the following year. An ordinary dry goods box placed on well drained spot should be filled with straw and horse manure or cot ton seed and exposed to the weather so that the contents become moist and begin to decay The top should then be covered so as to exclude win- ter storms and a few meat bones in- cluded as bait. This makes an excel lent winter nest which will attract practically all colonies within a radius of 30 or 40 yards, and some time during January or cold weather the box should be fumigated with about a cup of carbon disulphide. An abundance of boiling water poured into the box should also kill the ants. In heavily infected houses much re- lief may be secured by usir.g bi- chloride of mercury tape around the legs of tables, shelves beds, refrig- orators, safes, etc. This tape should be prepared by a druggist.
 Another method is to spread a slow acting poison which will even tually be carried to the queen, there by destroying the colony. Definite instructions as to what poison to use may be had by addressing the Experi- ment Station, Auburn, Ala, and ask ing for circular No. 39 entitled, The Argentine Ant and How to Con- trol It.

 FARMERS KICK ON EXCESSIVE RATES

Greensboro, July 13.-(Special.)- Unless the railroads see fit to lower their freight rates the farmers are going broke" Last week a car Of sheep and cattle was shipped from here to Nashville. and one mans re- turn from 700-pound COW was $1-46. while the sheep netted their owners 62 cents apiece. Of course the price is down on such things at present, but there should be much better profit than that.
 The excessive freight rates charged by the roads is simply killing the gc ose that laid the golden egg. No- body feels like giving everything he has worked a whole year for to pay the railroad for hauling their stuff. So the railroad must either divide with the farmer or the farmer must of necessity cease to ship a { all.

MONROE SALISBURY AT ALCAZAR IN 1.-THE BARBARIAN"

Snow capped mountains, verdant hills, clear lakes and the deep pine woods of Canada all go to make The Barbarian" at the Alcazar, one of the most picturesque productions ever produced.
 The photoplay is of rarely inter- esting and novel type. Being . story of the north, 1t differs from the usual run in being told in the sum mer time of the southern part of Canada.
 The Barbarian" as he is called by a group of real barbarians from New York, is baffing child of nature.
 The plot is simply about girl from New York who, in an imagined su- periority. mistreats and then plans conquest. In the end. he proves more than a match for her.
