 Commendation from number of un- expected sources for the editorial in the last issue of The Tradesman on the come to us. with the request that we continue this subject until these places are put out of business.
 In this connection we note the action branches .,f the Southern Cotton As sociation, nt their meeting held In Jackson, Miss, on June 4th, at which of iniquity" and called for Legislation for their suppression. classifying them with gambling hells.
 who. at this writing, Is. confined be- hind prison bars. charged with misap- propriating the funds of his bank to the extent of nearly S5o,0oo. all ot shops, is cited as evidence. in support of the evil that these places have wrought in this instance, and yet this is only one case that has accidentally come to the surface. while hundreds and even thousands of other cases have occurred throughout the South no less criminal in their essence but Of which the public have been kept in tgnor- ance.
 A prominent banker who Is in posi- tion to know the correctness Of his assertion. has said that there Is more money going into these bucket shops annually in the South than what the South receives from either its agricui- turAI or TndnuIdCIuTcu anu iA there were no other reasons that call ed for the cessation of such drain on the finances of this section this would be sufficient to call for their suppression, but when the demoraliza- tfon attending such stupendous losses is taken into account there should not be a moments hesitation in any quar- ter as to the necessity of putting these places out of business.
 No more insidious phase of gambling has ever been devised than what buck ct shops embrace, for they strike high among our men of standing, and through these set examples to our young men that no amount of moral training can successfully overcome or counteract. For such loss to the manhood of the South there Is no pos sible compensation in all this nefa- rious business.
 These places are installing into the minds of our young men the dangerous thought that fortunes can be made other than in channels of legitimate work and industrial pursuits and are thus forming the gambling habit that is as ruinous as the devil can ask ot its votaries.
 The Tradesman calls on its contem- poraries of tho South to aid in creat- ing a sentiment tf at shall put bucket shops and aiI other gambling hells out of business in this Southern land. We have too much that Is higher and mo- bier for our men of the South tha n to see them thus debauched, and we owe 1t to ourselves and to our coun- try to fulfill our highest destiny.

THEY pIpNr AGRFF.

We remarked some days since that some modern medical writer has de- clared that there are at least fifty different kinds of headaches to which the human family is subject. We are reminded of it by reading the follow ing in The New York Post:
 Since headache powders and pills have been put under the ban, the Amer lean Medical Association chose popu- lar as well as scientific topic when It devoted itself yesterday to the discus sion of chronic headaches. Yet the laymen emerge from reading conden- sed report of it's deliberations with a certain sense of confusion. pr. A: sald that headaches due to nasal sweihngs are becoming more common. pr. E. held that much" of such trouble IS occasioned by Instructions in the ear. Dr. C. however, declared emphaticaIiy that nine-tenths of all headaches are unquestionably caused by eye strain. Dr. D. meanwhile, voiced the not very comforting doctrine that chronic heao, aches are due to inability 10 relax, entire change in the patients inner ent makeup"
 We think it is not doing the doctors any injustice to say that this Is one hu- man ailment of which they know very little, either as to causes prevention or cure A good physician will tell you the cause of the headache from which you are suffering and you may believe him, yet the same cause will not pro- duce the same effect on another person. nor will 1t always produce the same effect on yourself. Another Will tell you how 10 prevent headache; you will follow his directions implicitly ana have a splitter. Another will give you cure for it and you try 1t faitntui- ly and find that it may cure some body else but not yourself. and so 1t goes. No man is wise enough always to tell the cause or the cure or this most distressing complaint, ana re" doctors will assume such knowledge

SAVE THE MONEY.

Referring to the proposition that our government shall build the greatest and most powerful bat-le-ship ever known. at cost of ten or eleven mill lion dollars The Brooklyn Eagle says:
 But by the time we have added this ponderous unit to our sea-fighting force the greater building .capacity of rreater ne ereTe pTessgre which politics abroad @ puts upon naval construction. will probably produce still bigger shipF. speed. And so the competition will go on until there Is m agreement among the naval powers to limit the size of ships or. until the develop ment of that most treacnerous engine of warfare, the submarine. rAaceee a stage which will reduce the useful. ness of the battleship to much small present assigned. In the latte event nations will .all a halt In their ,' e. ing programs, realizing that ten into a craft that can be sent to the bottom in five minutes bv a sub marine wasp that cost about ona-ftftI- eth as much.
 Why not call the halt tefore all hat money is wasted? Surely no we'll in- formed man in this country can believe that other governments will not bulb a larger vessel than ourG will be The competition will go on as long ns gov ernments have money and ambition, and the struggle for the largest ship will have no end except through ex- haustion of the powers, unless all If them come to an agreement 70 stop the foolish competition. That agree ment might as well be entered into now as later.
 And the limit about submarines and torpedo boats is timely. They have all ready reached such a state of perfec- ton that no vessel is safe from them, and we may expect improvements in them as in all other naval construc- tion. The time Is not distant, if it is not here now. when the most powerful vessel afioat can be destroyed and sunk by submarine destroyer just as easily and surely as a wooden vessel can be sent 10 the bottom. Really we can see no defence for the expenditure of mill lions of dollars in the effort to build a bigger war vessel than any ether coun- try has.

They do some things differently in Germany; or. rather, doing the same thing produces different results. They have very rigid inspection laws in Ger many. and yet, according to The Wash ington Times. a man over there was proven to have been making sausages of the following ingredients:
 Spoiled hams. decayed sides of pork, sausage covers that had been used be- fore. intestines of cattle. scraps of dog meat, and animal refuse taken from garbage barrels.
 The man admitted the facts, but in- sisted that these ingredients were all necessary In order to give the sausages the snappy flavor that his customers desired. All the same, he was convlc- ted and punished. which is the differ ence between the Germans and us.

 He got to be mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My Aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. So great was her faith in it that she gave me small piece of Soap to try and a little of the Oint- ment. I took it home without any faith, but to please her tried it, and it seemed to dry up the sores little.
 II sent to the drug store and got . cake of the Soap and 8 box of the Ointment and followed the directions, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since.
 "He is now strong and healthy, and can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my precious child would have died from those terrible sores.
