The open season on ducks opened
Wednesday and from now until the
close season comes on again the ducks
along the streams and ponds in this
vicinity will have to move lively to
dodge the clouds of shot that will be
projected in their direction. Several
parties of hunters went out to the
ponds near Augusta Tuesday night in
order to be on hand and ready to slay
the first duck that showed uD yester-
day morning. but as yet no bulletins
have been received telling of the
slaughter. In connection with the
opening of the season it might he stated
that one noted duck hunter who lives
not far from Grove street said that he
heard a duck fly over the house at 4
o'clock yesterday morning and the
'auack'' that the bird uttered stirred
him up SO that he could not get to sleep
again and that he did not feel quite
like himself for the day,

Take OF the Fat
Where Il Shows

Most women suffer much humiliation
because of great quantities of fat, so To-
Gated that, no matter how they dress,
everybody sees that they are abnormal.
This is the day of the slender figure, and
fat women are simply not tolerated either
in business or social affairs. Women may
not know it, but men when they see a
fat woman pass them on the street make
all manner of sympathetic remarks about
her. They do not mean to be unkind or
to seem unmanly, but it is natural for a
man to dislike fat on woman. Where
fat shows the most there is where it
must be removed, and as quickly as pos
sible The hot weather dresses seem to
be made for the fat woman's misery and
the slender woman's delight. They expose
all the charmS/of woman and her uSlineSs
as WELL Exercise and diet will not re-
move fat. This has been proved. The
famous Marmola prescription which has
met with such phenomenal success and
has so many of our society women as its
sponsors, is now being sold in tablet
form to meet the demand of the public
for this style of treatment. These little
tablets go into your system just like food.
They stop the stomach and digestive APP
paratus from producing fat and reduce
the fat upon the body at the rate of from
Il to Is ounces a day. They are harmless
and can be carried in your purse and Ia
ken even after you have INDUCED in a
hearty meal away from home. They are
sold at all drug stores at IS cents a case

Builder of China's Great Wall.

To SuperstitiOus notions Chin added
the lust of luxury, his life being blaze
of oriental magnificience. He built a
wonderful palace, which has been de-
scribed in the imperial history as hav
ing certain gorgeous anneXes attached
at intervals, the whole extending over
a distance Of 100 miles. In consequence
of his life of luxury, perhaps he became
more and more a prey to superstition,
and it may be that because of this he
completed the great wall. At any rate
history records that he was il
formed by prophecy that in time he
would be overwhelmed and destroyed
by outside enemies. So he modified
an army of 100000 men to work on the
great wall, and if necessary to fight
in his behalf. Chin's design evidently
was to inclose his massive empire in /,
rampant which should have the shape
of horseshoe with the heel calks at
the ocean shore. He did not plan to
parallel the coast with wall, doubt
less considering the seaside an ample
protection to a country vast and dense
ly populated.
The wall is not for modern use: it is
an ancient fossil, the largest fossil on
the earth But fossils are useful and
truthful. 1t is dividing line between
two civilizations and between two eras.

north from the tillers of the south

Twenty Years From To-day Bald
headed Man will be an
Unusual Sight.

One of the most prominent druggists
of America made statement a few
weeks ago which has caused a. grea,
deal Of discussion among scientists in
the medical press.
He said: IF the new hair grower,
Partisan Sage, increases its sales as 1t
has during the past year, it will be used
by nearly every man, woman and child
in America within eight years"
And when Partisan Sage is used al
most universally, dandruff will disap-
pear and with it's departure badness,
itching scalp, splitting hair and all
scalp diseases will follow and twenty
years from now a badness will be a
rarity"
There is only one way to cure dand-
ruff and that is to kill the germs. There
is only one hair preparation that will
kill the germs, and that is Partisan
Sage.
This unusual hair restorer with it's
record of thousands of cures will grow
hair on any head where there is any
life left; it is guaranteed by Bowditch
Webster & CO to cure dandruff, stop
falling hair and itching of the scalp in
two weeks, or money back.
1t Is the most pleasant and inyigor-
ating tonic, is not sticky or greasy and
is used extensively by ladies of refine
ment, who desire to have and to keep
their hair soft, lustrous and luxurianr
Only so cents for large bottle at
Bowditch Webster & Cos and leading
druggists everywhere, and remember
when you buy bottle of Parsian Sage
you get more for so cents than the ma
kcrs of ordinary tonics give you.

electricity was not unknown to the an

in novel that the Egyptians made use
of lightning conductors was we'll founded.
instruments much like the modern hello
graph were also used the writer says, by
priests, as a means of communication be-

he says, as to the temple having been

descriptions show that the roof was pro-

columns, and that these points, ending in
chains, terminated in great water tanks.
