MOUNT SIR SANFORD
Is CLIMBED AT LAST


NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The conquest of
Mount Sir Sanford, the highest peak in
the Selkirks, by Howard Palmer, secre-
tary of the American Alpine club, is an
nounced in a message sent by Mr. Pal
mer to the American Geographical So
ciety. The ascent of the mountain
which is 1854 feet high and is practically
one continuous wall of ice, was made on
June "a.
No less than eight separate attempts
to scale Sir Sanford have been made
during the last half dozen years. No
other peak in the Canadian Rockies has
such record. Only five of the expedi-
lions even reached the base of the noun
tain and aside from the present expe-
dition only that of aCptain Culver. of
Winnipeg, in 1911, actually set foot on
the peak itself.
Although it Is among the highest of
the worlds mountains, it is the glacier
which covers it's surface which makes
climbing difficult.

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
COLUMBUS, Ga, Aug. 1.-The cot
ton crop in this section of Georgia and
Alabama, IS from 20 TO 20 per cent
short to date. according to local cotton
men who have been investigating exist
ing conditions. These men declare thai
an average yield is impossible at this
time even under most favorable wealth
er conditions. The cotton has been kept
clean and in fair condition, but the weed
is not well fruited as yet.
The continued rains have resulted in
a quick growth in some sections, cnus-
ing too much to go to weed, and it is
stated that this will produce little cot
ton.
Corn is reported below the average in
the same section about Columbus and
the wet weather has caused much to be
destroyed by worms which have played
havoc in lowlands. especially in river
bottoms.

Jonesboro, Ark.-"I suffered CON-

ago." writes Mrs. A. McGill, from this
place. 'T was very weak and could
not do any work. I tried different
remedies, but they did me no good.
One day, got bottle Of Cardui. 1t
did me so much good, was surprised,
and took some more.
Before took Cardui, I had headache
and backache, and sometimes would
cry for hours. Now am over all that,
and can do all kinds of housework. I
think it is the greatest medicine on
earth.'
In the past fifty years, thousands OF
ladies have written, like Mrs. McGill,
to tell of the benefit received from
Cardui.
Such testimony, from earnest women
surely indicates the great value of this
tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to
women. Are you sufferer? Yes?
Cardui Is the medicine you need.
We urge you to try 1t.
