ONE CASE OUT OF MANY
TO PROVE OUR CLAIMS.

st. Anne, M.-"I was passing
through the change of life and I
was a perfect wreck from female
troubles. I had a displacement
and bearing down pains, weak
fainting spells, dizziness, then
numb and cold feelings. Some
times my feet and limbs were
swollen. Twas irregular and had
so much backache and headache,
was nervous, irritable and was

petite was good but more oftenft
was rot. My kidneys troubled
me al times and I could walk

Vegetable Fiber for Shoes.

A Haverhill (Mass.) shoeman has OBJ
tanned patents giving him the right to
make vamps and tops Of vegetable
fiber which he has invented and per
fected to be used in the manufacture
Of shoes. A few cases Of shoes have
been made Of this material, which ap-
pears to be a good substitute for leath-
er. The fiber is said to be particularly
adaptable for warm weather wear be-
cause, being of a woven material, air
can penetrate the vamp and top. The
inventor also claims that a shoe made
CT this material is waterproof.

Resolutions Came Before Body at Last
~Session-The Meetings Were Mark
ed BY Many Deeply Scientific Papers
Dealing With the Disease.

Columbia.-That the cause of pella-

Gent to lead to legislative measures

is no known specific remedy for the
disease; that there is no proof that

" from man to man, and that the
plague forms one of the most press

were the findings of the National Con-
gress for the Study of Pellagra,
which closed it's second triennial con
ference here. The sessions, winch

passage Of resolutions expressing the
consensus of opinion of the congress
and the election Of officers were the
final features Of a series OF meetings
marked by many deeply scientific pa
pers dealing with the disease which
Of late years has come into prominence
as a distinct malady with which med1-
cal mel must battle.
At the last nights session the res
olutions came before the body be-
cause of some seeming obscurity as
to one or two of their parts. No
changes were made in the resolutions
adopted, however. DR.. w. ]. McNeal,
assistant director of laboratories, post
graduate medical school, New York,
proposed an amendment to the para
graph dealing with the transmission
of the disease. He stated that he
considered the paragraph absolutely
true; but thought that it was capa-
BILE Of misinterpretation, inasmuch as
there was the possibility Of pellagra
being transmitted from one person to
another by insects or such other me
dia. Considerable discussion ensted,
terminating only with the withdrawal
of DR.. McNeal's amendment. He re-
iterated in withdrawing the motion
that the paragraph in the resolution
was true, although not clear as to
its meaning. t'G

PROGRESSVES MEET
IN COLUMBIA AND PLAN A TICKET
FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA
STATE PARTY.
INDEPENDENT MOVE ENT"
The Idea That Was Stressed BY Those
In charge.-Constitution and Rules
Were Adopted at the State Meeting
Recently.
Recently.

Columbia. - Under the leadership
of B. Sherwood Dunn of Aiken, pro-
yisional national committeeman, the
Progressive party was launched IN
South Carolina at a meeting held IN
a local hotel. The meeting was at
tended by about 40 South Carolinians
from all parts of the state. The Pro-
gressives will put out an electoral
ticket in the November election, but
will not have any nominees for state
offices in the race against the Demo
Gratis and Socialists.
A state secretary, state treasurer
and seven members Of the state exec
utive committee were elected at the
recent meeting. The Progressive par
ty will carry on an active campaign in
South Carolina in the interest Of Ted
dy Roosevelt, their candidate for pres
ident.
At the meeting Mr.. Dunn stressed
the point that the Progressive party
Is an Independent white mans" par
ty, unafiliated with either the Re
publican or Democratic. The party
was called the Progressive Repub-
lican." This was a mistake. The
name of the new party which Roose-
welt heads Is simply the Progressive
party. .
