MISS EUNIcE sEMMEs.

Confederate Veterans, to be held
at Little Rock, Ark, this month.
The distinguished ancestry of
Miss Eunice A. Semmes makes
her appointment particularly in
teresting. She is strikingly
beautiful girl, and one of the
most prominent and popular of
the Alabama smart set.
The spirit of a Morse Viking in
the bosom of a southern gentle
man made the elder Raphael
Semmes unique in his day. The
ambitions of his youth were di-
vided between the law and the
navy. He was commissioned
midshipman in 1898 by President
John Quincy Adams. He was ad-

HEADACHE CURES" ARE
POISON, SAYS WILEY

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May b.
DR.. Wiley has renewed the war
against headache powders fol-
lowing the investigation of 365
popular headache cures" many
found to be rank poisons.
Hardly a day passes," says
DR.. Wiley, that I do not receive
from some part of the country
the report of a death from taking
headache powders. Every such
preparation sold contains large
quantities of either acetanehd,
phenacetin, antipyrin, or caffein,
all of which affect the heart more
or less. No physician would
think Of prescribing more than
one or two grains of these drugs,
but the headache powders con-
tain from four to six grains.
They are poisonous to a per-
son with a weak heart and ard
likely to result in death at any
time"
