nv 'HEREDITY

The influence of heredity cannot, Of
course, be successfully disputed, but
ii can be minimized or entirely over
come in some cases by correct food
and drink! "A Conn. lady says:
For years while 1 was coffee

improving the digestion and stimulat-
ing the liver, which / tried faithfully
but without perceptible result.
HE was acquainted with my fam
lily history for several generations
back, and once when i visited him he
said: If you have inherited one of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from its inaction.
We can't dodge our inheritance, you
know
Il was not so strong believer in
heredity as he was, however, and, be-
ginning to think for myself, conclud-
ed to stop drinking coffee, and see
what effect that would have. feared

s45, 100000 MORE PENSIONS.
Under Bill Total Pensions Will
Amount to About soc. 900 600.

Washington a vote Of 8 to 3
the senate committee on pensions
agreed to report to the senate the
Sulloway general pension bill, which
already has passed the house. It
was amended so that the annual cost,
in addition to the $153,OOO,000 esti-
mated for the ensuing year, will be
about forty-five million dollars.
AS passed by the house, the Sullo-
way bill would increase the monthly
pension of veterans of 81 years from
$12 to SIS; of 65 years from $12 to
$40; of 70 years from sis to $40, and
Of rs or more from $40 to $36. The
senate committee by vote of 6 to
& reduced the proposed maximum al
lowancc from $36 to $50. AS there
are estimated to be 63,461 veterans
who would be affected by this amend
ment, at the present time, the change
would decrease the annual cost a lit
tie more than four and a nalf million
dollars.
Its friends do not anticipate an easy
time passing the measure through the
senate, especially as it has been init
mated President Taft would veto it
if it were presented to him for his
signature.

Granite Of the South.

When one speaks Of granite the
mind naturally reverts to Vermont. 1t
is difficult to associate granite with
any section of North America outside
New England, yet it must now be &C
knowledged to the credit Of the South
that Georgia, North Carolina, Mary
land and Virginia are producing large
quantities of stone of good quality
which insures the South place in
the market at any rate.
The annual output Is now worth
about $3,5O0,OOO and the industry is
growing. 1t may be of comparative
interest to know that New England's
output is about 100000 worth OF
stone annually.

Antl.option ain Lost.

Washington a lively tilt
the senate committee on interstate
commerce decided to take up the
anticipation bill alter. It developed
that there is strong opposition to the
bill, and it is regarded as doubtful if
it is reported at this session of con.
gress. This would mean the death
of the measure in which the Southern
farmers are so deeply interested, and
the fight would have to be begun all
over in the house next year The bill
proposes to prohibit gambling in cot
ton futures, and is endorsed by the
Farmers Union and many prominent
cotton mill men of the South. 1t is
opposed by the New York and New

COTTON RATE HEARING
INTERSTATE COMMERCE coMMIs.
SION WILL MAKE INvEsTIGA-
TioN OF RAILROAD RATES.
IMPORTANT TO THE SOUTH
Rates Affected on Shipments Of Cot
ton From All the Cotton Belt
to Ultimate Destination.

Uashington.-Two of the most inn
portant cases respecting the shipment
and compression of cotton that ever
have been brought before the inter
state commerce commission were as
signed for hearing at Montgomery,
Ala, beginning on March 8, and al
Atlanta, Ca, beginn16g on March g..
The cases are those of the CONNER
ciaI and Industrial Association OF
Union Springs, Ala, against the Cen
trail Of Georgia railroad and other
carriers, and the railroad commission
of Alabama against the Central OF
Georgia railway and others.
Both cases affect the rates on the
shipment Of cotton from every part
of the cotton belt in the South not
only to points of compression, but
to ultimate destinations in this
country and in Europe The com
plant in the first case alleges unjust
discrimination against cotton buyers,
cotton merchants and compressers,
and the second AYERS that the rail
roads invoke unreasonable and dis
criminatory regulations respecting
the transportation and compression OF
cotton. Not only every cotton plant
err and every cotton buyer, but every
railroad in the cotton belt is inter
ested directly in the adjudication OF
the cases. They are regarded as OF
so much Importance that Judge Glenn
ents, chairman of the commission,
himself, will go South to hear the
testimony in them.

PANTS FOR WOMEN
this EXPERT URGES
HygiGniC, Economic, Less In
modest Than Gowns

Cambridge, Mass, Aug. 19.-"I con
slider trousers for women to be not
only desirable from a hygenic and
sanitary point of view, but distinctly
desirable in the way of economy and
simplicity" said the famous DR.. Sar-
gent of the Hemenway gymnasium,
Harvard.
"They give freedom of movement,
they do away with the injurious corset;
they are less immodest than some of
our latest gowns, and they are in every
way more desirable for the girl who
works for her living.
Trousers are not a bit more i'm
modest than any other costume. I
dare say that they would be far more
proper than some of the eXtrayagant
costumes that have become part and
parcel of the fashionable woman's
wardrobe of today.
Trousers are we'll known as being
a lar more hygenlc thing than are
skirts. They do not gather dust, since
they sweep clear of the ground at all
times. They do not catch disease
germs, and the danger of infection thus
is greatly diminished. Moreover, l
think that the wearing of trousers
would do away with corsets, which
alone ought to commend them 10
thinking women. The evils Of the cor
set are too well known to require
comment at this late day.
THAT trousers give greater free
dom to the body is self evident Any
one who has seen some of our young
stenographers run, when late, to their
Offices incased, as they mostly are, IN
some form of the hobble skirt, will
readily see the advantage Of trousers
Sitting, standing, walking and run
ming, the trousers have the advantage
over the skirt always for ease and
comfort"
