The washington Society of Alexan-

The society has been in existence ever
since.
The first public celebration of George

formal "birthnight ball." at which
Washington was present. On the fol-

celebration here, the principal spectacle
of which was sham battle, after which
he reviewed the participating military
forces.
The first notice of the meeting of the
Washington Society was published
January IA, 1900, exactly one month
to the day after Washington'S death and
burial at Mount Vernon. Among the
distinguished early Americans who were
members of the society were Chief JUS
tice John Marshall, who also served the
organization as vice president at one
time, and Francis Scott Key.
Present officers of the society are
William Buckner McGroarty, president,
Charles H. Callahan, first vice presi-
dent; Howard w. Smith, second vice
president; j. Barton Phillips, treasurer,
Rev. William Jackson Morton, chap
lain, and John B. Gordon, chairman of
the Standing Committee.

Parker, economist for the Southern
Cotton Shippers Association Yesterday
issued a statement, indorsing the

MoSer said were being made by the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange and
other cotton organizations against the
Federal Farm Board and Che American

The American Cotton Shippers
Association has not attacked the Amer
lean Cotton Cooperative Association or
any other cooperative organization,
Parker asserted.
1t has questioned the economic
soundneSs of the Federal agricultural

and has called the attention of Congrss IS

OF the Federal agricultural and market

passage, and that such an inquiry should
De made now in order that producers
as well as business may know to what
length the experiment is carving the

LONDON, January 5.-The remains
of king and queen, believed by experts
to have reigned from 1900 to 1000
years ago, have been found on Sheebeg,
a mountain near Carrick-on Shannon,
Ireland, says the Sunday Times.
The skeletons, lying side by side, were
discovered in vault the entrance of
which was barred by solid block of
dressed masonry weighing more than
10 tons. Their heads were facing the
former royal seat of Tara where Irish
KINGS supposedly were crowned in pagan
days. Historians believe they are
members of a dynasty whose origin has
been lost in the miStS of antiquity.

Because it is so helpful in keeping
babies and children healthy and
happy, every mother should learn all
about Phillips Milk OF Magnesia.
This harmless, almost tasteless
preparation is most effective in re-
lieving those symptoms of babies
and children generally caused by
souring food in the little digestive
tract, such as sour belching. frequent
vomiting, feverishness, collie. AS a
mild laxative, it acts gently, but GER
tainly, to open the little bowels in
constipation, colds, children's dis
eases.

made Of green, odorless mineral oil with
dash of concentrated essence of violet

FOOD PROBLEMS
BY SALLY MONROE.

Among this weeks interesting queries
Is this /:
us there any real objection to giving
a three year-old child dinner at night
instead of In the middle Of the day;
Now that my two older children take
their midday meals ct school and are
old enough TO have dinner with us at
night, it Is inconvenient to prepare q
special, hearty meal for the youngest In
the middle of the day, yet I do not want
to make the change If 1t Is likely to be
harmful"
The chief objection to the late din
ner for children Is that they usually &C
to bed shortly afterward. Then either
going to sleep interferes with digestion
or digestion Of the hearty meal inter-
feres with sleep. A child who has
played hard all day is usually ready for
bed shortly after dinner time and ought
not to be kept up late.
