The reading world is familiar with the early history of Helen Keller. She was born in Tuscumbia 23 years ago with all the faculties and senses pos- sessed by other children. When about a year of age she suffered an acute ill., ness from the effects of which she be- came totally blind, deaf and dumb. She was the daughter of Captain Arthur H. Keller. a gentleman Of wealth and cul- ture, and her early precocity and bril- liant promise determined him on a course the final result of which has been to give to the world one of the most remarkable characters of the present age. He employed Miss Annio Sullivan, herself at one time blind, who became the teacher and companion of Helen Keller, and through years of training and tutorage developed the bright mind of her pupil.
 Helen Keller was sent to Boston when mere child and entered into a school for the deaf and dumb. She astonished the nation with her accom- plishments, and when, q few years ago she entered Radcliffe and, side by side with the students of that institution studied and mastered the sciences, lam guages and other branches, the world became more stupendously amazed and bewildered. Yet she did It. Her ca- reer has been one of phenomenal achievement, and today there is none like her. Essentially her home-co1n- ing has been the occasion of much in- terest, and the reception of yesterday afternoon was a compliment to her as citizen of TuscumbIa, and Alabama and recognition of her unequalled talents and endowments.
 Miss Keller Is on visit to her moth CT at Florence for few weeks. She shows the physical strain caused by the arduous work she has had to per- form within college walls. and is en- toying rest with her mother, young CT sister and brother. After recuper-

WHY IS A BARBER's POLE

It Is not only assimilated by the most delicate stsmach,' but aids in the as- similation of other food and enable the body to properly extract the nutriment which is 50 necessary to health and vitality.
 We not only guarantee a positive cure of constipation, stomach trouble and all afiiiction arising from an un- healthy condition of the mucous mem- brane of the throat. lungs, stomach and bowels. such as bronchitis, Asthma. hay fever. indigestion and various forms of lung trouble, but we prove our claim by buying a regular soc bottle of Milks' Emulsion from your druggist and presenting 1t to you free of charge.

The raising of sugar cane in this region, where the soil and climate Is so suitable to 1t, is attracting much attention, and in view of the fact that the Inter State Cane Growers Conven- tion meets in Montgomery this week anything about sugar cane is interest ing. 1
 There Is hardly farmer. no matter how small his acreage, in this locality, who does not have a patch of sugar cane If it Is only just enough. to eat throughout the winter. It Is sweet and palatable and may be recommended for that alone. But for syrup it Is one of the crops for this section and may De made profitable, as 1t is so easily cui- tivated and such a heavy yielder. s
 In the days of slavery in Alabama on nearly all of the plantations in the black belt, sugar cane was raised In large quantities and 1t went to make up large part of the food Tor the negroes on the place; they were very fond of 1t and often preferred 1t to meat. Now as we are coming into our own again and farming Is fast getting back to the leading and most impor- tant place in all the list of avocations, we must of necessity get back to sugar cane raising and make here in Ala bama all the syrup for home consump- tion and to spare, which will find good prices in the markets.
 Cane Raising.
 Tn the hills of Autauga County near wadsworth, on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, the lands are not worth much unless fully developed and intelligently farmed, with up to date, modern methods; these lands are sus- ceptible to the highest stages of cul- tiyation and may be made to give an abundant and profitable yield in almost any crop worked and handled as w. w. wadsworth does it.

There is no remedy in the world that meets the condition produced by the grip better than Peruna.
 Peruna strengthens as 1t renovates. soothes while it stimulates, heals as 1t expurgates.
 Peruna is not purgatlve. or cathar- tic, or sedative. or stimulant, nor A veg etable or mineral poison.
 It reaches the source of all diseases of old mucous-membranes by its action on the vaso-motor system of nerves.
 After-ERects of the Grip.
 Every person who has had la grippe during the last year should take a course of Peruna. No one need expect perfect recovery unless they do so.
 The grip has produced catarrhal in- fiammation of the whole mucous mem brane, and good health is impossible until these are restored to a normal condition. This Peruna will do.
 A great many remedies have been suggested for this condition from time to time, but Peruna Is the only remedy that has any substantial value in these cases.
 It has never failed to give satisfac- tion during forty years experience and still occupies the unique position of be- ing the leading Of not the only) spe- cific remedy for the tuberculosis of la grippe.
 No Time Like the Present.
 If you are suffering from the after effects of la grippe-if you have become discouraged in your attempts to cure yourself with other treatments, take a bottle of Peruna now.

a century and half after it was first begun. Even this has never been completed, though the work of decora- tion has gone on at intervals ever since. sienna has now become a quiet country town, but the great cathedral on it's lofty platform towers above the ancient city, the proud product of generations of labor and a permanent evidence of the city's departed glory.
 The history of f'The Work" of the Siennese provides & fair example of the way in which the Mediaeval cathe- drals rose slowly by the patient ef- forts of generation after generation of devoted builders. Throughout the rest of Europe, however, the municipal pride of Italy was replaced by the en- ergy of abbots and bishops. When. for instance, the church of Beauvais was burned early in the twelfth cen tury. MiIon de NanteulI. the Bishop Count of Beauvais. and his chapter set aside tenth part of their annual i'm come for ten years in order to procure money with which to build a new ca- thedra1, now one of the inspiring mop- uments of northern France. In 1912. nearly fifty years after the commence ment of the work, services were held for the first time in the choir. It was not until 150o that the first stone of the transepts was laid and 1t was fifty years more before the craftsmen left them.
 These are not exceptional instances. The nave of the great cathedral at Durham, which was begun 1090, was not finished until 112S; the towers were not added until 1920. and the most distinctive feature of the whole structure..the strange apartment known as the Galilee, built at the western en- trance and hanging on the brow of the cliff-in it's present form dates from 142O. Practically all of these monuments of the Middle Ages have been worked on little, by little, part by part. until as they stand now they represent all that centuries of church. men and builders. nobles and peasants. could do to give permanent expression to their religion. Even St. Peters at Rome, constructed under the eyes of the Popes themselves and with all the wealth of the Papacy at it's command. was twelve decades in building.
 To bring to completion the Cathe> dral of St. John the Divine-a mightieT undertaking than the majority of even the most famous cathedrals of Europe within the course of half a century is an evidence of how great has been the advance in science. Modern con- ditions have here been applied to me- diaeval problems and the result is now apparent to every citizen and to every visitor in New York who takes the beaten path of the sightseer and drives over "Cathedral Heights"

 He raises sugar cane to a limited ex- tent. having some five acres in 1t last year and making as much as 200 gall Ions of syrup to the acre from it. speaking of 1t he says:
 The ground which produced the

 ample to cut down his cotton crop and increase the food crops: that is what the farmers say now is their salvation, and 1t is, if they will but stand to- gether against the many difficulties that constantly beset them.

and other furnishings. which will fin- ish that part of the structure. Of the $400.0eO required for the crossing the Trustees already have $150.0o0 out right, while $100.000 more is pledged to be forthcoming as soon as the re- maining $150,000 necessary is raised. When this Is done, in place of the ir- regular pile which is now all that is visible of the beautiful cathedral. there will be on the summit of Morningside Heights the largest church in the city of New York. Even this will be but Q small part of the gigantic structure that is ultimately to stand there.
 The statutes and canons of the Ca- thedral of St. John the Divine were adopted on December 27, 1904, thus creating a complete cathedral organi- zatIon-an organization which in tho minds of most Americans Is associated rather with some sleepy English pro- vincial town than with the great bus mess centre of the New World. Just thirteen years before these canons were declared in force Bishop Potter formally inaugurated the work on the cathedral on St. Johns Day, 1891. The visible results of these years of build- ing seem remarkably small to the man who Is accustomed to watch a modern sky scraper shoot twenty stories from the BTOuHu m the course or a IeW months. A better idea of the progress that has already been made is obtained when one stops to consider how diff ferent is the erection of a great ca thedral and of a steel office building.
 In modern times few persons have been bold enough to attempt to erect another of those ediflces on which the builders of the Middle-Ages expended their strength and genius. In the in- terval men have become impatient as their mechanical skill has increased until to the builder of today a year is as long as a century to the men who planned the cathedrals of Europe. To the tourist 1t seems as if the church in which he stands grew almost of it. self, so colossal is the scale, so enor- nous the amount of labor involved. Tn one sense he Is right. Few of the fa- nous cathedrals which Americans crowd to see were completed as is an office building, and it never was ex- pected that they would be- Continual ly to add to their beauty and their magnificence was the pride of the cities in which they rise and on this task the genius of generation after generation was spent.
