See for yourself the
 beauty of this special May sale underwear.

There are slips and corset-covera and nightgowns and all the sorts of una dergarments that women take special delight in-and of beauty that des serves your personal seeing.
 No one can get fair idea of the value of. underwear by reading of it in neWs4i paper. It is impossible to show how fine it's fabric is, or how tasteful it's style, or how dainty the lace or emi broidery with which it is trimneds These one must see for one s self. And so we ask that you come and see thiS special May collection, view it face to face, inspect it critically ,judge-it under; standingly. g
 It is the sort of underwear that will benefit by such meeting and by. sucA inspection. It is nice, in all the qualis ties that make genuine niceness. Won't en will appreciate it fully, if they but take time to give it the inspection that it merits.
 And it is underwear that is to b9 bought at less than it's real worth. Each piece is marked at a price less than usual price. But there is little need to tell that: folks know that sale' in 3 always presents real chance to buy

"The Towers of Silence"

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
 The name Parsee is derived from the word Persia, and yet more than half the Parsees in the world reside in Bombay India. This Is because when the Moham- medans invaded Persia mutitudes pre- ferred exile to the loss of their creed. Vt is supposed that there are now 10000 Parsees in the world, and nearly all of them are in India. Bombay alone con taining above 5000 of them. At sunrise and at sunset multitudes of them may be seen on the esplanade engaged in worship. Whether or not they worship the sun is in dispute Many contend that they wor- ship the Creator under the symbol of the sun.
 They always expose their dead to the sun under the open heavens West of Bombay on Malabar Hill. the Parsees have their Towers of Silence, seven in number. They have hollow, round, per- pendicular structures. about 2e0 feet in diameter and 25 feet in height. Two feet or so from the top on the inside is a metallic roof. slanting downward toward the center. where there is an opening through 1t about IS inches in diameter Ridges are raised over the roof at proper
 intervals forming small sections. each designed for dead body. While in one sense the dead are exposed to the sun, yet, in fact, they are consumed by vui- tures When the bones are stripped them are dropped through the opening at the center and fall into a well or pit One tower is used for a specified time and then another, and so on, giving time for the bones to decay.A

EDITORS GOING ID
 JACKSON TUESDAY Board of Trade Will Enter tain Fair Advocates at
 Stag Luncheon"

Jackson. Miss, October 19.-(Special.)- )- The Jackson Board of Trade is preparing to give the editors of the state cordial welcome to Jackson next Tuesday night a slight testimonial of appreciation of the liberal amount of space they have given to explorations of the state fair in their several newspapers.
 During the day the editors will be the guests of the Fair association, and will put in most of the day on the grounds if they desire to see what Mississippi is doing along agricultural industrial and other lines, but once the evening shades shall have prevailed the Board of Trade will take the scribes in hand for a "stag luncheon" at their commodous new quarters in the Fransioli block on Capitol street, with Edgar s. Wilson, former well-known newspaper man, as master of ceremonies.
 The programme arranged calls for speeches by J. C. Clair, industrial agent Of the Illinois Central railroad; George H. Smith, general passenger agent of the Queen and Crescent, and C. J. F. Mooney of the Commercial Appeal. These gentle men are understood to have accepted the invitation and promised to be on hand. There will be other speakers, but they will be cut short, if possible.
 Democratic party leaders here are very much amused at the extravagant claims being made for the bull moose' candi- date for the presidency by some of his followers in this state. These claims are that Mir. Roosevelt will poll from 2500 to 30000 votes, when the fact is that he will not get 5000 1t is not expected that more than 50,000 votes will be boiled In the state on the 9th of November, and at least four-fifths of them will be @faight democratic, leaving one-ffth to be apportioned between republicans, pro gressives ard socialists

Many an otherwise pretty girl is dis tracted with her appearance. Poor girl. She doesn't yet know that Stuarts Cal cium Waters will quickly transform her into a perfect dream of loveiiness. And many young man with tender skin just growing a bristly beard is also a sight to behold. All the face creams in the world are nothing but masks. They do surface irritation.
 Skin health must come from within. Skin tissue is made from the blood, and as it is tendency of nature to throw off i good share of impurities through the skin, naturally impurities gather on the surface in the form of pimples, blotches, hlackheads and other eruptions But Stuarts Calcium Waters have remark able activity in the blood which seeks the skin as an outlet for its impurities. These are thrown off in invisible mist or gas, are consumed in the oxygen of the air and in few days all imperfec- tions of circulation and of skin health are overcome.
 All blemishes disappear and the skin becomes as clear and smooth as a baby's. Go to the drug store today-any druggist can supply them-and get a box of Stu arts Calcium Waters for trial. They will cost you only 30 cents but are really worth many dollars to you if your face is marred by ugly pimples, blotches. blackheads, etc. Convince yourself by actual test that Stuart's Calcium Waters are the most effective blood and skin purifiers In the world.

 Considerable comment has been preclp- itated here over the summary removal from office of A. J. welch, chief of the railway mail service for the states of Tennessee. Alabama and Georgia. After more than 20 years actual service, Mir. Wech was removed last Tuesday by wire from the postoffiee department without any explanation whatever. All efforts to ascertain the exact cause for his dismiss sal have proved futile. Reports that he had taken too active a part in Roosevelt politics and that he was incompetent have been denied categorically by both his friends and postal officials here. The af- fair Is shrouded in considerable mystery.
 Work upon another skyscraper for Chattanooga is shortly to be begun in the erection of a new building by the Cit- zens National bank at the corner of Broad and West Ninth streets. The build ing Is expected to cost s5oo,o0o.
