viii Haise Prices for "Washee."

WIN FiaIse Prices tor "Washee."
Atlanta, Aug. 6.-F'or tae first time
in the history of Atlanta a Celestial
trust as been formed in the city.
Maddoned with the eyer-present
craze for money, it is stated that So
| Cinnamon, owners of as many laun-
dries. have formed a combine with a
view to raising prices, the new sched-
ule becoming effective during the
| present week. While several rea-
sons for the combination are announc-
ed, such as the hire Of negro help and
the like, presumably the main object
is to get rich quicker
Every Chinaman look forward to
the time when, by stinting and starv-
ing, he will have saved enough to re-
turn to the Flowery Kingdom for
some little olive-eyed maiden waiting
there for him. Under the present
system of laundry prices it requires
long years of waiting. Why not has
ten the time by conforming to one of
the Mclean mans most common Gus
toms and organize a trust?
Thus it is that new scale of prices
will go into effect during this week.
Instead of IL cents apiece, collars are
now cents, cuffs 8 cents a pair, and
so on through the list of "washee"
The result of the Chinamen's ac-
ton cannot be foretold. There may
be an onrush upon the larger laundry
establishments. Yet the increase as
announced by the former is slight and
it is possible that there will be no
falling off in their trade.
One thing is certain. If many Chi
namen find it impossible to satisfac-
torily explain the Oncrease in prices
to their negro suctomers, the number
of police" calls will be greatly in
creased.

THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsT.-That almost eyerv opera+ion
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms 'as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
OF the female organs, pain in the side.
burning sensation in the stomach.
bearing-down pains, nervousness, diz.
ziness and sleeplessness.
SECoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures ef female ills is Lydia
=. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases, of the female organism as
nothing else-can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inflam~
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and disp1acements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. It has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.

iicited and grateful testimonials on file

Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
tOWOmen.--Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia e. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease. she has been ad-
vising sick women free of charge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she doesnot take
advantage of this generous offer Of
assistance.

Alcohol From Corn cobs.

Ames, Sept. l5.-Interesting ex-
perimcnts which have been con-
Quoted at the experiment station Of
the Iowa agricultural college show
that alcohol can be made very cheap
! J out of corn cobs.
One of the great problems Of
Gamers has always been the dispo-
sition OF the cobs from the corn,
which soon become sour and must
be hauled away daily. The dis
covery that alcohol can be extracted
from the cobs means that what
heretofore has been a source of
great expense now can be converted
into a valuable by-product. The
tests show that there are IL gallons
of alcohol in a ton of green cobs.
The process of distillation is
simple. A conveyor carries the cobs
to grinding machine, where they
are reduced to a pulp. This pulp
is mixed to take proper consistency
by the use of water and the mass is
then brought to boil. After be-
ing boiled a short time yeast is put
into the pulp and the whole mass is
allowed to ferment. After that the
usual process of distillation is fol-
lowed. The cost of distillation is
stated to be about 3 cents gallon.
When the alcohol is denatured this
means that alcohol for fuel purposes
can be sold for 20 cents gallon,
and still leave a good profit to the
distiller and handler.

Edison's Houses of Concrete.

Thos. A. Edison, the inventor,
has laid electricity aside long enough
to invent a new scheme for building
houses. They are to be houses Of
concrete and nothing but concrete.
He proposes to have architects make
designs for dozen model houses,
ranging from four to eight rooms.
He will then manufacture metallic
moulds. in detachable sections.
When man wants to build house
he selects the design he wants and
the moulds are set up, screwed TO-
gether. They will fit every detail,
including inside cupboards, stair
ways and so on. When the moulds
have been set up, the liquid cement
will be pumped into them and with
in four days the work of taking down
tho moulds can be commenced. Ia
order to give the fine finish which is
desired in even concrete work, some
Of the surface Innings of the moulds
will be of nickle, thus insuring a

Der will be largely dispensed with
as the necessary piping will be made

Inspecting Municipalities.

Iowa has new law providing
that the accounts of all municipalities
of 5000 population or over must be
inspected at least once in every two
years and that the accounts Of cities
Of less than 5000 population must
be inspected upon application of
the mayor, city council or a certain
percentage of the citizens.
Under authority of this law the
accounts of the city of Creston have
just been examined by representa-
tive of the state. He reports that
the city has exceeded the legal limit
of Indebtedness, that the city treas
urer is paying warrants drawn by
the mayor and city clerk without
authority of the council, that the
mayor and city marshal are in part
nership in handling fines imposed
upon prisoners, that the mayors
docket is not kept as required by
law and that the city council has
created the office of city electrician
and is giving the incumbent $40 a
month to inspect the work he does
himself as private citizen and con.
tractor.
While it does not appear that
Creston has suffered any heavy loss
through these irregularities, the in.
