THE CONSTITUTION BEATEN
The Columbia Wins the $1,000 Cup Presented
by Astor.
(By Associated Press.


Newport; r. :, July 29.-The Columbia
today defeated the Constitution, boat for
boat, in splendid race, by two minutes
and ifty-four seconds, and won the $1,000
cup presented by Colonel John Jacob
Aston. Her victory was decisive and con-
vincing. The behavior of the Constitu-
ticn on the other hand was disappointing
in the extreme and this evening Mr.. Dun
can announced that his boat would not
take part in further races until every
thing had been altered The Constitution
will not participate in the Newport yacht
racing events on Thursday and Saturday
of this week as a competitor of g Ate-
prudence. The Columbia, however, has
been entered for these races and will
sail against the Boston boat. The Con
stituton will go to Bristol at once to
have the alterations made. The regular
trial races for the purpose of selecting
the defender of the Americas cup will be
held here on August 31st and September

sheer exhaustion, into the first chair she
comes to. While the light were bright
and the talk and laughter were all about
her, she didn't realize her own weari-
ness. But once at home, exhaustion over
came her. If a woman were thoroughly
robust, without ache or pain, she could
not keep this work up without under
mining her health. What shall be said
then of those women, who are not strong,
who suffer from headache, backache,
bearing down pains, and other conse-
quences of a diseased condition of the
womanly organism? And these women
are in the great majority. There arc
few women who are free from diseases
peculiar to their sex.
BURNING THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS
That expressive saying not only sug-
gests the most rapid form of waste but
also the most foolish. When a woman
overtaxes her strength in any cause,
whether in the enjoyment of social pleas
ures, or in the service of church or char
ity, she is rapidly Fastening to the end
of her public activity.
The proof of this is found right at
home. Young matrons who are not
dancing any more, church workers who
are no more active; these have not step
ped aside because of loss of interest but
because of Lack of strength.
There is not weak woman who would
not like to be made strong. There is not
a sick woman who would not like to be
made we'll. And there is not the least
reason, in nnety-e eight cases out of every
hundred, why women should continue tC
be weak and sick. The first step to the
re-establishment of the general health
is to establish the local womanly health

THE TEXTILE EXHIBIT.
D. A. Tompkins Elected Superintendent by the

Charleston, S. c., July 29.-At the meet
ing of the board of directors of the Cx-
position company tonight, Mr.. ID. A..
Tompkins, the well known cotton mill
builder and expert of Charlotte. n. c.,
was elected superintendent and manager
of the Textile Exhibit at the South Caro-
lima Inter State and West Indian Ex-
position at Charleston. Mr.. Tomr kins
will undertake to procure and cause to
be installed the exhibits for cotton space,
and in order to accomplish this work he
will be compelled to use a good part of
his engineering and commercial force and
some outside help and there is no doubt
that he will push the work with his ac-
customed energy, which means that the
textile exhibit at Charleston will be the
largest, the best arranged and the most
comprehensive that has ever been made
in this country.

YOU CAN BE CURED
by "Favorite Prescription" If your dis

facts show that only two women in every
hundred who have given ''Favorite Pre-

failed of a complete cure. Women who
have suffered for years and have had the
advantages of the most skillful medical
treatment, have at last tried "Favorite

who had been pronounced incurable, and
given up to lifelong suffering have been
perfectly and permanently cured by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton.
Sick and ailing women are invited to

oua NATIONAL BONDAGE.

One week ago, at the young peoples
prayer meeting at the Methodist church,
Mr.. Eben Marshall was the leader, and
the following were the remarks he made
at the opening of the service. The as
signed theme was "Our National
Bondage" and the scripture references
were Hab. /, 1917, and Amos o, 10.
His words were as follows:
1t seems to me that the topic for this
evening comes nearer to the root of the
evil of intemperance than any we have
had. For a revenue of one dollar per
gallon on whiskey and on other
liquors according to their values our
government protects the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating drinks-protects
the saloon, the breeding place of anarchy
and contemporaries the rum seller in
selling that which kills the wife and
children, and then hangs the man that
does the killing. Now does it not fol-
low that every man that upholds a
government which does this thing by
voice or vote is party to the crime?
While we have drinking men and
sympathizers with them to enforce our
laws, what can we expect?
The bondage of slavery was nothing
compared with our national bondage to
the brewer and rum seller. And will it
not be so until our Christian people
awake to the awful situation, and cry
out as they did in slavery times that 1t
shall not longer continue? But while the
people are Indifferent our nation will 60
on as it has in the past, killing from
seventy-five to one hundred thousand
each year. Let us be no longer at ease
in Zion nor put away the evil day so it
may come any nearer to us.
How is it in our own state? Without a
United States license man cannot sell
intoxicating drinks without being
brought at once to justice. But if he
gets said license and has or gains in
fluence(?) with the officers Of the law he
can sell without disturbance as much as
he pleases. Look at our large cities.
They are overlooking with rum shops
portland excepted.) l am thankful we
have in Cumberland County man who
obeys the law, regards his oath and
enforces the law, as he has driven out
over four hundred hell-holes from Port
land alone. l pray the time may soor
come when we may have such men to
make our laws and to enforce them
But this depends upon the Christian
citizens throughout our commonwealth
