ed Spanish War 'Veterans." The na
tional encampment of the boys who
marched away' in 1898, to fight Spain
and free Cuba began today with an
attendance that promises to exceed
that of any previous encampment. The
national officers expect that 8,000 will
attend. ...
The veterans are men who - have
sen service, in many. parts of,, the
globe 'under the United States flag.
Some" of. them, charged up . San Juan,
hill; some belonged to the Rough Rid
ers, others helped set Porto Rico' 'in
order; many helped "discover" the
Philippines. The 'first thing the veter
ans did oh reaching Louisville was- to
hunt up old comrades and brush up
their Spanish. "Senor" has replaced
Colonel" as the most general form
of salutation in Louisville.
The official program, approved, by
Commander-in-Chkf - John Lewis
Smith of Washington, called for a
business meeting this morning. In
the afternoon a luncheon, and recep
tion for the. women , attending the en
campment was the feature. Tonight
the military Order of Serpents holds
a session, after which there will be, a

APPLE GROWERS OF
VIRGINIA ORGANIZE.
Strasburg, Va: Aug. 81 Apple
growers of the Valley of Virginia are
planning to organize a co-operative
marketing association to be operated
along the Hnes of "the Georgia Fruit
Exchange, which has proved such a
gieat success in enabling the Geor
gia peach growers to get the best
prices for their fruit through scien
tific marketing methods. At a meet
ing of growers and representatvies of
the freisrht and . transportation de
partments of , Southera, Railway, the.
workings of the; Georgia Fruit
chance were explained by Howell f
Peeples, market agent' for Southern
Railway at. Washington, whovas for
merly division" freight.'a'gfp.tj.at Ma
con, Ga7 and a committee of growers
was named id .consider tho Organiza
tion of a sSjhiiar association.
Qfl account cf . the uncertainty as
to the export rtarkct which ha.-s for
merly taken.ja large portion of the
Vi&inia vcropy the Valley growers are
looling.to. thig Southern, markets and
Solhern Railway, through its mar

"Sickness at this aeason," said Cap
tain Craig, "Is a timely and absorb'u&
topic. Hero Is a remarkable Inci
dent bearing on It.
"Once when 1 captained a smaller
and unateadier boot than- thin I took
my scat at the capUln's table the
evening 'of our first day out, nd was
enchanted to see that, though the
weathor was a bit squally, the table
was full. So I said
i" 'Ladles and gentlemen-, I congratu
late you. Here we are oil together.
20 of us not a vacant place. Ah, the
menu! . Let toe advise Uje entire 27 ,
of you to take the clear rather than
the thick soup it Is easier to digest
As to the drinkables, mineral water Is
best, but a very light, dry claret used
in meOeraticn couldn't hurt the weak
est one of our company of 26. Let me
repeat that It does truly rejoice my
heart in weather like this to aee such
plucky sailors about me "' Why, on
many a trip my table, in similar con
ditions wouldn't number a dosen In
stead of its present 15. Ah, here la
tbe fish! if yon1 will choose the light
vole Instead of the rich turbot, I guar
antee that ever one of our octette will
sleep the better for It As to the next
eourse, I. recommend the chicken,
rather than the pork. Steward, since
there are four of us, bring a large
chicken, fresh grilled. I say, steward,
one moment Change thai order to a
half a chicken. That Is quite enough
for two. Or, no a quarter of a chick-
en will suffice. I shall finish my din
ner alone.'" :t . -. (

SPEECH WITH THE PRESIDENT
Conversation Wa Not Lengthy, But
' It Served the Purpose of
. 4 ,, Little Judson. , f ,
. Two friends of long standing met
a") the club one evening and engaged
In a reminiscent talk. Hunroe naa
apparently met everybody in the world
worth knowing, from Mrs; Pankfeuret
to King' George. As for little Judson,
he waa clearly ontclassed, and he felt
It keenly. He had always shone in
club gaWesU,- but on this occasion
Munroe had him down. - - Suddenly,
however, ;hls face became Illuminated
with hope. "Ever meet the president,
Munroe?"
' "Well, no, JudBon; I'm sorry to say
I have never met Mr. Wilson that Is.
as yet. I adtnJre Mm greatly, but
every time I've been In iWashlngton
he's been off traveling .-somewhere.
Did you ever rneej bmV' r
"Oh, yes," 'anp.ounced Judson,
proudly. "Met clpvoujy a short time
ago." , , , ,
"Where?" y
"On tbe links." ,
"Did you engage In 'conversation
with him?"
"Well er In a way, yes. That is,
he spoke to me."
"Really? What did he say?"
"Fore!" said little Judson.
That Spring Feeling. .
As the first warmth of spring
brought a feeling of lassitude, the
farmer's wife In older days Would go1
searching through the woods for
"yarbs" from which to make a brew
as a tonic for the whole family. The
city man, feeling the ''laziness of
"spring fever" co'ming over him,
brought from the corner drug store a
49-cent package of "Old Doc" Some
body s spring tonic. But things are
changing.. Men have learned that the
best, spring tonics are the gifts of a
beneficent nature. A full breath of
fresh air, a brisk walk along a grasa-
grown road, a prange into tne cooi
waters of the old .swimming pool if
the 'water is pure and cold or the
morning shower If In the city, fresh
green food, or the pursuit; of a bound
ing .golf ball over a spring course
those are the real invigorators, true
tonics. Rochester Sentinel.
Ozone Stimulates Yeast
i A' new application of osone baa Just

have discovered that the fermenting
power of yeast is greatly increased by

for five minutes. The power develops
only after about two days. Ozone has
