Mrs. Libbie Crumb, the respected wife OF
Mr.. Maxon Crumb, the farmer and hop
grower. who Is so we'll known In the coun-
ties of Oneida and Madison, sends US quite
an interesting statement from her home
near Bridge water, New York. On account
OF the high standing OF Mrs. Crumb. her
communication is OF importance, and may
be Of the greatest value to those who are or
may be similarly situated. She said:
"My name Is Libbie Crumb. am 56 years
old, and the wife OF Maxon Crumb, farmer
and hop raiser Of Oneidq County. For the
past twenty years have been sufferer with
disease ofthe stomach due to scrofula. and I
had constant dizziness and heada"he. for the
greater part of my time. I do not know
what brought on the scrofulous tendency. I
do not think it is hereditary. as neither my
father nor mother had 1t. All I know is that
the physicians pronounced 1t scrofula, and
several have attended, me. all agreeing In
their diagnoses. but their treatment gave me
very little relief.
About one year ago Twas in worse con-
dition than I had ever reached. AID 80
abandoned my physicians and dete rmined
to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills. began at
once to experience marked relief from their
use. only took Pink Pills three weeks. and
not 30 many of them either. when my head
ache left me, and my stomach became per-
fectly comfortable, and could rest we'll at
night, which had not been able to do in
years before. Indeed. was cured.
~ consider that Pink Pills are the only
medicine I ever took for scrofula that did
me any good. and I shall always recommend
them to my friends.
81 make this certificate hopiE2 that 1t may
be seen bv someone else suffering as / was,
and I declare the same to be true in every
particular" [Signed] LIBBIE CRUMB.

Velvet.

Velvet is manufactured by placing
in the loom rows of very short threads
of the material designed to be en-
ployed, whether cotton or silk. These
are then caught up by the cross
threads in the weaving and fastened in
such a way that the feecy ends pre-.
sent themselves all on one side of the
fabric. The manufacture of velvet is
so slow that for hand weaver yard
is considered good days work. The
machine. made velvet is of course
turned out much more rapidly.

maternity?
Do you know the meaning of what
is popularity called those "long-

many women during pregnancy?
There is something lacking in the
mothers blood. Nature cries out
and will be satisfied at all hazards.
One woman wants sour things,
another wants sweets, another
wants salt things, and SO on.
The real need all the time is to
enrich the blood so as to supply
nourishment for another life, and
to build up the entire generative
system, so that the birth may be
possible and successful.

THE COW stERtlAa. SOU'rBg.

Mr.. Richard II. Edmonds. editor of the
Manufacturers Record. contributes to
this months Southern States" an ar
ticlc tcrscly summarizing the recent
trend Of foreign trade to Southern ports
and clearly pointing to the ultimate ad-
vantages that are 10 accrue to the
South. He clearly shows that Il COM
plete change in the railroad map Of the
country is being made. Eastern trunk
lines no longer dominate the handling
Of the products OF Western farms and
packing-houses. From this movement,
he says, Will come the building up of
number Of large financial ana CONNER
cial cities on the South Atlantic and
Gulf coasts, the great trade and indus
trial expansion consequent upon tho
operation Of successful railroad systems,
the Increase Of regular steamship lines
between Southern and European ports
and generally. Il well-rounded develop
ment destined to more than duplica tc
in the South the prosperity Of leading
Eastern States.
Abiding to Norfolk and Newport
News Mr.. Edmonds says that ten years
ago Newport News existed prac tically in
name only To-day II is by all New
York papers classed as one Of their pow
erful rivals Of their city in the grain
trade. The mere fact that it is admit
ted to be serious competitor Of New
York is most significant. But Newport
News also claims the distinction Of be-
ing next TO Philadelphia the most inn
portant ship-building point in this coun-
try. On January 1st the ship-yardS Of
the United States had contracts in hand
for S16,OOo0oO Of iron shipbuilding. and
Of this Newport News had 100000. TO
all intents and purposes. so far as for
eien trade IS concerned. Newport News
and Norfolk are one. In fact, every
thing around Hampton Roads may be
classed as part Of what is destined to be
one great commercial center. -Four
years ago Norfolk was unknown as q
grain-eSporting city. In 1898 it shipped
abroad 591.1Gi bushels Of grain; in 1894,
4,096.4l6 bushels; in 1895, 2,545,3G3 bush
els, and in 1896. 12,S9l,2S5 bushels. The
exports Of grain from Newport News in
1896 were d,126, 900 bushels, making IL TO-
tai ut Norfolk and Newport News com
bned of q 900, 600 bushels.
Mr.. Edmonds believes that in future
the foreign trade of tho country will be
handled by the South. and there can be
no doubt of the fact.
The Southern ports have steadily adj
vanced along that line, and at no dis
tant day they will become the great
trade exporting ccntcrs Of the Union.
