correct,

A new industry has been started on
tire farm Of Mr.. Charles Becker, on the
east side of the Shenandoah river. A
mineral spring on the place has been
found to contain medicinal water of great
curative value. and Mr.. Becker has put
up large building in which the water
will be bottled for shipment. In analysis
the water is said to be superior to that OF
the famous Poland Springs in Maine,
where thousands of health seekers go
every year. The water from the spring
is conveyed by pipes to the bottling house
and machinery for bottlng will be placed
in position.

FAMOUS SPEAKER
Hon. Joel B. Fort, of Tennessee, will Ad.
dress Tobacco Growers Of
Hopkins County.

The Woodmen of the World
have gone to considerable eX-
pense for an attraction for their
Fourth of July Celebration that
will be appreciated by every far
mer in Hopkins county. They
have secured the Hon. Joel B.
Fort, of Tennessee, to deliver an
address on the tobacco question
at the fair grounds at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Fort is one of the best
speakers In the South and his
thorough knowledge of the tobac-
co question makes him a popular
speaker before the farmers of
this country. Perhaps no other
man In the South has addressed
as many men as Mr.. Fort and
this fact is a guarantee of his
ability and familiarity with the
question that concerns so many
of our citizens.
The farmers of the county
should appreciate the efforts of
the Woodmen in their behalf
and attend this meeting in large
numbers.
Besides this feature there will
be other attractions throughout
the day that promises to make
the day one Of genuine enjoy
ment.

CUTICURA REMEDIES
WORK WONDERS

Mr.. A. c. Barnett, proprietor of a
general store in Award, Oklahoma,
tells in the following grateful letter
how Cuticura cured him and his son
of terrible eczemas:
"My little boy had eczema. His
head was one solid sore, all over his
scalp; his hair all came out, and he
suffered very much. / had physician
treat him, but at the end of three
months he was no better. | remem-
bered that the Cuticura Remedies
had cured me, and after giving him
two bottles Of Cuticura Resolvent,
according to directions, and using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment on him
daily, his eczema left him, his hair
grew again, and neither he nor myself
have had any eczema since.
As to his own case, Mr.. Barnett says:
"I suffered with eczema, burning,
itching, breaking out on my face for
more than a year. took treatment
from physicians for several months,
which did no good. | was then
advised to try Cuticura. took
six bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and
used Cuticura Soap and Ointment
freely every day. began to improve
soon after starting to use them, and
when / had taken the six bottles of
the Resolvent my face had become
clear, / had good color, and all erup-
tons had left me.
1--WE use the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment in our family now for
general use, and it keeps our skin
soft and healthy. | cheerfully recon-
mend the Cuticura Remedies for all

Not in year has Congress
done so much for the develop
ment of rivers and harbors as
was accomplished this W e k !.
The passage in the Senate of the
Lake Erie and Ohio River canal
bill, authorizing the coustruc-
ton of this great work by pri-
vate corporation under govern
ment supervision, was only a
starter Following rapidly came
bill making appropriation for
thorough survey at Jamaica
Bay, Long Island, for the pur-
pose of determining the most
feasible method of connecting
that natural haroor with t h e
open sea, and a measure author
izing an appropriation of $40, 900
for the COMMISSION to be APP
pointed by the President to take
the initial steps toward the bull
ding ship canal to connect the
Chesapeake and Delaware BAYS.
1t is evidently the intention of
Congress to pay more attention
to the duqject of Improvement
of the country's natural water
ways Especially is this senti-
ment growing stronger in the
West and South, where Congress-
men fine their constituents are
alive to the gIeat benefits that
will accrue from the betterment
of the streams. The National
Rivers and Harbors Congress-.
which counts among its members
many Congressme n fr o M
throughout the country, has been
striving for years to impress on
the national lawmakers the need
for more liberal expenditures
for this work. The organization
is insistent that the $40, 900, 900
that is annually appropriated is
far too meager, and thatlt should
be trebled. Even this last named
sum would be only one sixth of
the annual outlay now made on
the navy and army establish
ments and the pension list.
