Lettuce VS.. Vaccination.

Lettuce is an absolute preventive of
smallpox. No one is in the least parti-
Gle of danger of catching smallpox who
eats little lettuce every day. Small
pox belongs to the scorbutic class of
diseases. Sailors at sea deprived of
fresh vegetables get scurvy. Scurvy is
typical scorbutc disease. Smallpox
is another. Smallpox always RACES
during the winter season, when the
poor people are deprived of fresh vege
table foods. Celery and onions are
good for this pdrpose, but there is such
long interval between their being
gathered and being eaten that they
lose most of their anti-scorbutic prop
critics Lettuce is served shortly after
it is picked, and, hence. contains the
valuable properties which will prevent
smallpox. We say without the least
hesitation or reserve that lettuce will
prevent smallpox. 1t is thousand
times better than vaccination. 1t has
no liabilities, like vaccination, to pro-
duce other diseases. We are willing
to stake our professional reputation on
the broad statement that any one who
eats lettuce daily will not catch small
pox, whether he is vaccinated or not. -

Southern Railway.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Fifty seven new
locomotives have jbst been delivered
to the Southern Railway and will be
put Immediately into the freight and
passenger service. Twenty-Five new
passenger coaches have also been re-
ceived from the factory. This new
equipment will greatly relieve the de-
mand of the road for increased facili-
ties for handling the business. AS
with all other systems, the Southern
has found its rolling stock inadequate
to dispatch the increased business
which has developed within the past
year or more.
Two years ago the company gave or
ders for 81 engines, but so many Or
ders were on hand from other systems
that the Southern was not able to get
its stock promptly. The other engines
purchased when the first contract was
made are being turned out as rapidly
as possible, and further improvements
may be expected as soon as those men
toned are put into commission.

Spring and Summer Fashions.

Flower effects are the chief distinc-
tion of the sheer Summer fabrics. The
Louisine silks have acquired such soft
ness and grace that they are extensive
ly used for the all-around Summer
gown, and the Habutai and Toxic va
rieties exhibit an embroidered elabora-
tion that makes them appropriate for
dressy wear. Taffetas are now procur-
able in soft, rustleless quality.
The chiffons approach the silks in
wearing quality, being much heavier
than their predecessors.
Canvas is assuming great Importance
in the realm of Spring frocks and coats /;
it is used as cloth, with strappings,
stitchings, etc.
Basket-weave cotton cheviots, mad
ras and mercerized cottons offer mod
ish suggestions for the shirt-waist suit,
and the smartest shirt-waists are made
of mercerized fabricks, such as vest
ing, cheviot, linen and canvas,
Nearly every gown, whether made of
soft wollen or sheer wash fabric, is
characterized by sherring.
The reign of lace continues. Soft
and flmy Tenerriffe and Mexican lacer
are the novelties of the season.
The new braids. which will be used
in profusion, are soft and pliable and
we'll suited to forming designs on the
gown, and the new bottoms, glistening
with colored stones and enamel, are ex-
amples of the highest art of the jewel
ry. From the Delineator for May.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to hold
their own nowadays. Never were the
demands of business, the wants of the
family, the requirements OF society,
more numerous. The first effect OF the
praiseworthy effort to keep up with all
these things is commonly seen in a
weakened or debilitated condition of
the nervous system, which results in
dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both
body and brain, and in extreme cases
in complete nervous prostration. II is
clearly seen that what is needed is what
will sustain the system, give vigor and
tone to the nerves, and keep the diges-
tive and assimilative functions healthy
and active. From personal knowledge
we can recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla
for this purpose. Ttacts on all the vital
organs, builds up the whole system, and
fits men and women for these high
pressure days.
