1902 Reynolds & oath ST., Savannah,
Ga.-"My head began to get sore and
all around the edges got white with
the disease until I was quite scared.
I thought all my hair would drop out.
It came out by handfuls, and my head
itched so I nearly scratched the skin
of. 1t was full Of dandruf which
showed plainly in my hair. / also
had trouble with my hand. It peeled
every time I put it in water, and 1t
was 30 badly disfgured that every
body noticed 1t and asked me what 1t
was. It was red, and burned awfully.
"My mother tried several things but
they were unsuccessful, and 1t seemed
as If nothing did 1t any good until I
started to use Cuticura Soap and Otnt.
ment. It had lasted about four weeks,
but then 1t started getting well and
my hair stopped falling completely.
Now 1t is cured. My hail. Is now nice
and thick and is growing to a nice

Euos Clotworthy Ate.

Harry Clotworthy, who is an expert
on military affairs, entered n
dinirgroom Of the National Press
club one morning and carried with
him a ravenou appetite. Having
eaten one breakfast, which consisted
largely OF eggs, he ordered an
other breakfast, which consisted
even more largely Of eggs. After his
repast he went to the writing-room
to get off some letters. Half an hour
later the steward of the club found
the colored waiter loafng about the
entrance Of the writing-room and
asked him what he meant by being
absent from his post.
II got a good excuse" exclaimed
the waiter. exhibiting the check for
the egg breakfast. "Mr. Clotworthy
done eat 81 worth Of eggs and I amt
goin' to let him git away from here

No Hunger Too Great.

The compassion of Jesus is. a very
active principle, it does not consist OF
siehs and lamentations, or Of investi.
cations and condemnation Of condi-
tions. His compassion causes him to
act. But the disciples are aghast at
his suggestion that he feed this null
titude Of about fo1r thousand
whence shall one be able to fill these
men with bread" Or. W.? On the 9TH
err occasion Jesus had asked Philip,
who lived in the nearby town of Beth
saba, where they might find bread;
but now they are in Il desert place.
It may seem strange for the disciples
to ask such a question. He had fed q
larger number with smaller resources,
but is not this precisely what we are
in constant danger of doing? Present
difficulties always outweigh past de-
~liverances. If, however, we will but
remain with Jesus we too shall be fed.
No hunger is too q sat, no difficulty
ia unsurmountable If we remain close
by his side.
After taking stock ". 81 Jesus com.
mands the people to sit down. He
received their seven loaves ". g. and
brake and gave, first to the disciples,
and through them to the people. Such
az they had, first given to him, respond
ing to his touch, was enough and TIC
spare ". 81. When we give him oul
all he will bless, multiply and use.

SAW NO CAUSE FOR WORRY
Small Boy Pretty We Satisfied That
the Future Was Not Likely to
Be a Hard One.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says:
A Lakewood woman was recently
reading to her little boy the story Of
a young lad whose father was taken
Ill and died, after which he set him
self diligently to work to support him
self and mother. When she had fin
ished the story she said:
Dear Billy, If your papa were to
die would you work to support your
dear mammal"
"Naw!" said Billy, Unexpectedly.
But why not?"
"Ain't we got a good house to live
in?"
Eyes, dearie-but we can't eat the
house, you know"
"Ain't there a lot o. stuff In the pam
try?" \
Eyes, but that won't last forever"
It'll last till you git another hus-
band, won't it? You're a pretty good
locker, maj"
Mamma gave up right there.

! Protected Both Ways.

Two conservative ladies or old

a young girl on the train, finally asked
why she was making so long a jour-

well. you see, my mother and STEP
father live at one end of the journey.
and my father and stepmother live at
the other. They send me to each
other twice a year, 30 there isn't a

GOOD STUFF"
A Confirmed Coffee Drinker Takes to
Postum.

A housewife was recently surprised
when cook served Postum instead OF
coffee. She says:
For the last five or six years I have
been troubled with nervousness, In
digestion and heart trouble. I couldn't
get any benefit from the doctors med
icine SO finally he ordered me to stop
drinking coffee, which I did.
"T drank hot water while taking the
doctors medicine, with some improve
ment, then went back to coffee with
the same old trouble as before.
"a new servant girl told me about
Postum-said her folks used it and
liked it in place Of coffee. We got a
package but I told her I did not be-
lieve my husband would like 1t, as he
vas a great coffee drinker.
"To my surprise he called for a
third cup. said it was good STUFF and
wanted to know what 1t was. We
have used Postum yer since and both
feel better than we have In years.
"My husband used to have bad
spells with his stomach and would be
sick three or four days, during which
time he could not eat or drink any
thing. But since he gave up coffee
and took to Postum, he has had no
more trouble. and we now fully be-
lieve 1t was all caused by coffee.
81 have not had any return Of my
former troubles since drinking Pos
tum, and feel better and can do more
work than In the last ten years. We
tell everyone about it-some say they
tried it and did not like it. l tell them
it makes all the difference as to how
it's made. It should be made accord
ing to directions-then 1t is delicious"

Health In South Carolina.

Health In South Carolina.
TWENTY-FIVE cents per citizen will
destroy preventable diseases in this
state" said DR.. J. A. Hayne, secre-
tary of the state board Of health, in
his lecture on public health at the
University Of South Carolina. The
actual state appropriation for public
health for the million and half peo-
pie in South Carolina is SIS, 1000. The
child financially burdens the state for
rearing and education until it is II
years of age, and then becomes eco
nomically productive. Preventable
diseases, however, do their deadly
work during the period Of childhood
and hence the tremendous monetary
loss to the state.

Columbia.-On the face of the un'

Thomas H. Peoples of Blackville is
nominated for attorney general OF
South Carolina, defeating the incum-
bent ]. Fraser Lyon. The vote at
last reports stood: Peoples 23,SS3;
Lyon 2O,s9O. About 10000 or more
votes remain to be heard from, but
the indications are that Peoples pres
ent lead will be increased.
Complete returns were available at
last report from only six counties:
Charleston, Clarendon, Jasper, Ma
ricn, Marlboro and Richland. Two
counties, Horny and Salura, have not
been heard from. In the latter, there
seems to have been considerable con-
fusion over the election. Returns are
coming in especially slow from the
heavy voting counties Of the Pied
mont. With the exception Of Horny
and Georgetown the returns from the
Pee Dee section are practically com.
plete.
The vote in the primary for at.
torney general will not be definitely

are reports from several counties OF
managers neglecting to come for the
boxes, and no election being held at
many precincts.
The complete returns from Charles,
ton county give Peoples a majority OF
nearly 1900 over Lyon. Richland
county went for Peoples by over 300
votes. His majority In Spartanburg
will probably exceed 700 votes.
