He passed before a counter laden with
silk stockings and promptly ordered
half q dozen pairs, adding hastily.

remembered despairingly that he had
given her silk stockings at Christmas.

"Yes, anything! like them myself"
He beckoned frantically to a clerk. "A

Then came the disquieting thought,
But these won't do for the real

pins and wasted several precious min

At the entrance the inspiration came
in the shape Of a parasol. She had

He turned the latch key Of his own

the air Of a burglar arriving home
with a rich haul. In spite Of himself
he smiled as he threw his bundles
down and mopped his brow. He had
reached home first! There was Joy

He opened the pink parasol, threw

CHRONIC ECZEMA
DISAPPEARS WITH
THE TREATMENT

Sufferers from Eczema of many years
standing have good reason to renew
hopes of a permanent and satisfactory
cure. They may have tried many rem
edies without noticeable results, but that
should not keep them from using a renl-
edy for Eczema which has borne the
public's test for eight years and has
thousands of cured cases of Eczema to its
credit. It doesn't matter what past ex-
periences may have been, sufferers from
chronic Eczema and other skin diseases
are invited to give BRINkLEY 5 SAN
ADOR' a thorough test. This wonderful
skin remedy is known and used from
coast to coast. 1t is earnestly recon-
mended by many people of prominence
who have had occasion to test its cura-
Brinkiey's '.sANADOR' first soothes
and allays the terrible itching; then it
penetrates to where the parasite is lodged
and by its germicidal powers destroys
and removes the cause of the affliction.
More than that, after the cause of the
disease has been dislodged, BRINK
LEY "SANADOR" nourishes the skin
and restores it to its normal condition
BRINKLEY'S 'SANADOR" has also
proven to be without an equal for the
treatment of Dandruff, Pimples, Pricl1ly
Heat Salt Rheum, Scabies, Plant Poison
ing, etc.

RECORD COTTON CROP.
Estimates Run as High as $4,000, 900
Bales.

Washington, Nov s.-With 9.96S.172
bales of cotton of the growth of 1911
giIsned prior to November l as an
nounced today by the census bureau,
the promised record breaking cotton
crop of this season is fast being made
ready for the manufacture The amount
ginned to NoveTE Der 1 exceeds by l.
$4,000 bales that ginned in 1908, the
previous record 1t also is greater than
the ginning to November IA of any
year, being about 100000 bales more
than ginned to that date in 1904, the
record wears
This would indicate that the crop
was at least two weeks earlier in ma
turing and reaching the gins.
Calculations of the years total crop,
based on the ginning reports therefore
probably would be more accurate if
figured on the November II reports of
other years In previous record years
about 20 per cent of the total crop has
been ginned to that date and rough
estimate of this years crop might be
place 4 at a minimum of $4,000, 600 bales.
Commercial experts estimates, however
range up to more than 15,000,000 bales.

May Be No BIDS.
Ship Building Concerns Fear s
Hour Law.
Uncle Sam May Have to Build
Fighting Craft.

Washington, Nov. s. Peculiar in
terest attaches to the announcement
that the navy department is ready 10
receive bids for the two new DaLtle-
ships authorized at the last session OF
congress, in view of the fact that there
is a decided possibility, if not proba-
bility, that there will be no bidders.
January A. 1912, is the date set for
opening bids and the department an
nounces that they will be received up
t. that hour.
Nearly all the private ship building
concerns of the country have main
toined heretofore that the application
of the eight hour law to battleship
construction made it impossible 1or
IT, en- to bid on the vessels. since the
recent Interpretation of the law, under
which the eight hour work day pro-
vision will apply to all work done
either on the stocks or in the shops,
the Newport News Shipbulldlng ana
Drydock company, the only bullder 70
submit a bid when the Texas contract
was awarded, has announced that Il
will not seek a contract for either OF
the ships this year.
May Sacrifice Improvements.
Should any BIDS be received at all, it
is believed that they will provide for
sacrificing some modern Improvements
planned for the vessels to bring the
ships within the appropriations On the
other hand, it is said, the govern
ment's plans provide for some very
material departures in naval construc-
ton.
The two new vessels will be named
Oklahoma and Nevada, and are tech
nicallY numbered 36 and 81. They Will
have main batteries of 10 14-inch guns
and Will be near" sister ships OF the
Wyoming and Arkansas, now building.
The latter vessels are Of $4,000 tons
displacement, but it is understood that
the Oklahoma ard Nevada would be
slightly heavier
new ships have been given confden-
TALLY to ship building concerns re-
questing them, but as it is not de-
sired that they fall into the hands of
foreign governments, they will not be
made public
