 This made me faint. and I thought ] could not live.
 I was ready to give up at any time
 I went to see my mother. who gave me some medicine. It did me no good and I went back home.
 Mother came too. and persuaded me to try Cardui, the woman's tonic. as a last resort So I sent to the store and got me a bottle.
 Now I am well, and can walk miles and carry baby with me all the way

 The several speakers were in good trim and voiced the sentiments of the great audience-the biggest that ever tried to get on the inside of the opera house. It was conceded that Jackson Is the biggest city of its size on earth, and that 1t is growing every day. Such men as George H. Smith of New Orleans, general pas senger agent of the Queen and Crescent. who has been an occasional visitor to Jackson for 15 years or more, were in po- sition to make comparisons of the Jackson of yesterday and today and to predict for the morrow.

The Real Secret of
 Rejuvenating the Face
(From me clubwoman)

(b'rom The ClubMoman)
 She holds the true secret of facial reiuvenation who has learned how to remove the dead skin particles as fast as they appear. It's secret anyone ,nay possess. The aged, faded or dis colored surface skin may be gradually absorbed in an entirely <lfe and ration al manner by the nightly application of ordinary mercolized wax. Within a week or two the underlying skin, youthful and beautiful to behold, has taken the place of the discarded cuti- cle. So little of the old skin Is ab- sorbed each day there's no inconve- nience at all, and no one suspects you are putting anything on your face. The mercolized wax, procurable at any drug store Gan ounce Is sufficienD, is applied like cold cream. In the morn ing it Is erased with soap and water. It's the best thing known for freckles, blackheads, pimples, moth patches, liver spots and fine surface wrinkles.
 For the deeper wrinkles an excellent recipe is Powdered saxolite, l oz, dis solved in ls pt. witch hazel, Bathing the face in the solution produces quick and wonderful results.

 is real Christianity. It Is a pretty hard to allow the other fellow to get away with the fruit every time But the man whc helps the other fellow instead of trying to get what his neghbor has in his pocket is leading the right kind of post and is doing his work right straight along That is giving him a tremend- ous power in the east, which is sure to etound to his interest. There is no 1 way of stopping the growth of that man nor is there any way of measuring the infinite extent of his example in his country.
 just said about Christianity was exact ly right; that is, personal work and contact with men. When person real izes that he can control himself then he starts in the right direction. The spread of Christianity must be from men who are sincere devout fellows coming in personal contact with and spreading the right way of living among the other fellows.
 We are all about the same when it comes 10 religion. I have a friend who has made a tremendous amount of money. He has a yacht, automobiles and a magnificent house. I told him he was crazy because he did not know how to spend his money. He said Well, I spend my money like l want and you do your work as you like There I Is not much difference between us when l it comes down to the bottom of the proposition.' He was about right "M oney is convenient but men should not have too much of it. That man who makes up his mind to die a pauper l has at that moment become free man. You know when the war devastated my fathers estate my one ambition was to rccoup his fortunes and make 1, all over again; in other words, to fix iup the place It was a hard thing to get down my throat to come into the church. I have no money now but am as happy as you with all your millions.
 You mean my friend Carnegie and his millions?"

The bishop spoke oi the mission work being performed and said unless the American states are subjected to missionary work our in lstitutions would fail. His sermon was of the work performed. that now be- ing done and the hopes for the future He gave q graphic but simple resume of tbe general situation. Bishop Lloyd will be shown over the Birmingham district today. will be a guest at the reception of Mir. and Mrs. D. M.

Photograph Is Mystery

A photograph of the letter is in pos session of the department of justice but Conn testified 1t had never been out Of his possession and that he had not been party to photographing 1t. A reference in the letter Ito party with whom you have been dealing" was construed to mean Judge Archibald.
 Attorney worthington for the judge. sought to bring out an inference that Roland had inspired the letter and pho | tographed 1t before 1t was sent to Conn. | Williams, on the stand declared he had never seen 1t. notwithstanding the signature was his.
 If you did not dictate this letter. who do you think did dictate it?"
 Maybe Judge Archibald dictated it," said Williams. T have not any idea"
 You admitted here the other day that you took another letter from Judge Archbald to MT. Conn to W. P. Roland and let him photograph it. didn't you?" continued MT. Worthington.
 T didn't know he was going to pho tograph the letter. said Williams.
 Was Not Drunk
 Were you drunk the day you took the letters to Boland?" Representative sterlipg asked.
 | T don't think so.n
 | Did you talk to Judge Archibald aft l CT you were subpoenaed about this | case?" asked Chairman Clayton. Yes sir, and all Judge Archibald told me was to tell the whole truth, to tell all l knew about it."
 Did you use Judge Archibald to make | money for yourself or was Judge Arch bald using you to make money for him self?" Chairman Clayton continued. l Why, 1 had half the Culm before I ever went to Judge Archibald" said Will lliams 'I only wanted him to help me-
 Isn't it fact" asked Representa- tive Floyd, that right now you are in a deal with another party in which you lare to get 5000 because of your sup posed influence with Judge Archbald?" q don't know of any such a deal" said Williams.
 Conn testified that in a letter which Williams had written to him on March 13, 1911, reference was made to ''the party who haf, been dealing with you and that he believed it referred to Judge Arch bald.
 May on Stand
 Conn will probably continue testimony | tomorrow. That he had received a letter | from Judge Archibald of the commerce | court asking if certain coal land was for | sale was admitted today by w. A. May. superintendent of Erie railroad coal prop | erties in the hearing of charges against the jurlst. May said the letter was brought to him by Edward J. Williams, partner with Archibald in the coal deal. l May was asked how he interpreted the | jurists request for an option on the prop | erty. May said he did not analyze 1t. He did say, however, that he would have paid no attention to Williams if there had been no letter from Archibald, and that '1t was through the judges influence that I was finally going to recommend the sale of the land.'
 He said he thought Williams was to get the Culn. and did not think that Judge Archibald was financially interested in the deal.
 May testified that Judge Archibald never | had talked with him about selling the | Culm for his own interest. He had no knowledge, he said, that the judge had any money interest in the transaction and thought he was acting as friendly ad- wiser for Williams.
