FIT THE GROCER
Wife Made the Suggestion.

"A grocer has excellent opportunity

grocer has long list Of customers

He says, regarding his own eX-
perience: 1.-TWO years ago I had been
drinking coffee and must say that l
was almost wrecked in my nerves.
particularly in the morning was
so irritable and upset that l could
hardly wait until the coffee was
served, and then I had no appetite
for breakfast and did not feel like
attending to my store duties.

Women Who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how great a change Q
few years Of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through tho
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form Of it's
fairness.

Dutcb Women's Headdress.

Women often possessed two head
dresses, one for Sundays and the
other for weekdays. In cold or we
weather a hood was worn stlifenec
with paper and having two long rip
rons, provided with golden hooks
to protect it against the wind.
Above a low silk or satin bodlc'
was worn an deliberately folded ker
chief of fine lawn or cambria, whicf
allowed only little of the throa,
to be seen, and which was fastened
bv n brooch or ribbon.

New Method of Making Paper.

A big opportunity for Southern
farmers is offered by the perfection
of a new method of making paper
out of cotton stalks. The practical
effect will be to increase the value
of the cotton crop of the South by
nearly 100000 annually. The
manufacture of paper from fiber of
the cotton stalk is one of the latest
and most Interesting inventions of
the new century. For many years
expert inventors have been busily
engaged experimenting with the cot
ton stalk, and recent developments
give assurance that their labors are
to be rewarded with signal success.
Paper manufactured from the cot
ton stalk is of the strongest texture
and softest finish.-Detroit Free

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

A nervous irritable woman, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is source OF
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such. women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like a fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven-tenths of tho nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, tn Q
"blues", sleeplessness, and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic arrangement.

Gods revelation of His truth and
Himself in Jesus Christ that shall
find correlative note in their own
souls and lead them back into har-
mony with the age-long chorus of the
redeemed Of God. 1t Is the business
of the church of Jesus Christ to strike
this note and to assume leadership.
Granted that these remarks be
true, what then shall be our new
note? What note shall we strike?
What word of God shall be our watch
word? What text in the Scriptures
shall epitomize our thought? About
what idea shall our preaching re-
volve? In my humble judgment the
text which shall epitomize the mes
sage of the new revival is that which
is to be found as indicated in the
text for this evening in the Gospel
according to st. Mark, the 18th cap
ter and the 30th verse: "Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind, and with AZ thy
strength" And the idea that shall
crystalline our thinking shall be the
conception of human love for God.
AS the basis of Moody's evangel was
the love of God for men, so, l verify
believe, ere we shall do the work for
Jesus that we desire to perform, we
must declare, with insistency and
with cumulative force, the dignity,
the wisdom, the fairness, the efficacy
of human love for God.
The trouble with us to-day rs not
that we do not know that God loves
us. The trouble is that men do not
love God. The evil which afi1icts us
can only be cured by the exercise of
a controlling and vitalizing love for
God, such love as shall mellow and
beautify the souls Of men. The in

RAISE IN RATE UNwARRANTED.

Southern pine lumber dealers in

vance of freight rates on that COM
modify in 1908, which was contested
by the interstate commerce commits
sion The decision of the supreme
court, that declares the advance IL
legal, will give the right 10 the ship
pers to sue the railroads for the
Iovercharge. which TO Paducah whole
|sale dealers II was estimated by
lumber man today, would amount to
over $4,000. They have kept careful
account of their shipments of yellow
pine from the south anticipating this
decision.
The local dealers interested large
ly are the Sherrill-Russeh Lumber
company, Langstaf-Orme Lumber
company, A. B. Smith company,
Fooks-Acree company and A. J. Dos
sett 1t is thought that II will not be
necessary for each company in the
south to sue the railroads to recover
the overcharge. Their manufacturers
association will make test case and
when il Is decided, II is presumed
that the railroads Will accept the de-
cision as final In all other cases.
Claims then can be filed with the
railroad auditing departments for
settlement. The Illinois Central and
the N, c. and st. l.. will be affected
along with every railroad In the
south The overcharge is estimated
for the United States at $1O,O0O.000
The pine lumber business Is one
third of the total lumber business Of
the United States The Illinois Cen
trail railroad was made one of the de-
PENDANTS in the suits that we're fought

decision in favor of the commission
is considered a great moral victory
for supervision Of railroad rates. The

of the overcharge should 1t prove IL
Illegal.
The commission held that the rate
must be based or the cost of trans
