NERVOUS SYSTEM
 GREATLY IMPROVED
Mrs. Sarah Howell Was Greatly
 Surprised at Results
PRODUCED BY NEW TONIC
Now Feels Like a New Woman and Gladly Recommends "Tona Vita'
 to Any One Similarly Affected

No one but those who have suffered like l have know how miserable l have been for some time, said Mrs. Sarah Howell of Ensley, also well known in Bii mingham, in discussing the value of s'Tona Vita" the remarkable new tonic.
 ..I had stomach trouble" continued Mrs. Howell, "and was nervous and completely run down all the time. The slightest noise would startle me with palpitation of the heart, which would flutter and beat rapidly for minutes afterwards.
 While in such state my limbs would beccme numb. l had no ambition and my duties became a drudgery. l suffered with headaches of the most violent type; and I would frequently feel, in my help less. hopeless condition, like screaming at the top of my voice for some relief.
 "SeveraI neighbors urged me to try sTona Vita, and I finally yielded. The ef- feet of .Tona Vita in my case was i'm mediate, and l now feel and act like new woman. The past week has been the hsppiest l have spent for some time. I shall tell all suffering women and men I see about this new medicine. It certainly pf oduced results and l feel grateful"
 Hundreds of men and women in cities such as Birmingham, are suffering with the same run down, listless, depressed condition, which is produced by over wrought nerves. and overworked brain, and an oyerWorked stomach say the rep 1esentatives who are introducing "rona Vita There is something behind this ali. however," continued these representa- tives, "and 1t Is nothing other than the strain of modern city life and an artificial environment. Every day of their lives these people are exceeding natures limi- tGtions and they go carelessly along, neg iccting to take time to even realize the serious results until 1t is too late and de- bility has set in in it's most damaging form. Nervousness, sleeplessness imper- feet digestion, stomach and bowel trou- H,les. poor circulation, cold feet, listless- ress, loss of energy and ambition and de- lr1 cssion are characteristic symptoms of this trouble. which will be quickly and peInanently removed by our prepara- tion.''

STRIPPING MUST
 REMAIN INVERSION
Former Danville Chief of Police Has No Chance
 During Browns Term

Atlanta, May 16.-(Special)-It may be accepted as final that Thomas J. stripling, serving life sentence in the penitentiary for murder, and whose case attracted much attention because he served as chief of police of .Dan- vile, Va, for some 10 years after he had been convicted and before he was arrested and sent to the Georgia pen itentiary, has no hope for clemency during the administration of Gov Jo- seph NJ Brown.
 Governor Browns administration will last until about July l, 1913. His suc- cessor will come in without having taken any stand on the Stripling case and Stripling may then try it again, but for the present there is no use.
 This statement is based on the fact that it has been tried without success. Recently number of gentlemen from southwest Georgia called on Governor Brown and tried to induce him to re- open the Stripling case Among them was Hon. Jesse Walters of Albany, who has just been elected solicitor of the city court of Albany, position for which his son, now deceased, was a candidate.
 Governor Brown heard them through but at the conclusion of the copfer- eIiee politely but emphatically declined to reopen the Stripling case. The mat ter was taken up with the governor direct and not with the prison com mission, for that body had already ex- pressed itself favorable to clemency in the case. Stripling's wife and children are said to be in quite needy circum- stances and this fact, among others, was brought to bear in the effort to secure clemency
 The stripling case excited widespread public sympathy as the result of news paper reports at the time he was brought back from Danville. 13 years after his conviction of the crime Of murder in Harris county. where he was sentenced to life Imprisonment and es- capped from jail before he began the service of his sentence.

GENERAL SMASH 0F ! VALUES IN WHEAT

Chicago. May 16.--The excitement on tn board of trade today was due to the fluc tuations in wheat of the last two day. This gave the traders too great a loa to carry. Resulting weakness spread [ other staples and led to general smas of values
 It was estimated that 100000 buslrel of wheat had been unloaded within I hours and that half of this mammot total had come from one speculator.
 May suffered most. One theory was tha the clique controlling the actual suppl here had finally been forced to ahando the idea of profit and had decided [ throw the wheat overheard and save a much of their profit as possible. In ever pit the scene when the last gong struc was one indescribable and likewise bon dering on panic.
 Brokers seemed to lose their senses. S short was the time left for transactin business that the best that could be don was to accept any price rendered.

PLAIN WASHING SODA'S USES
Almost Indispensable to the Housekeeper.

Uses for common washing soda: One heaping tables poonful of soda to pint of water (boiling) will clean the ugliest burned pan by letting it soak a few hours.
 In boiling clothes a few tablespoon fuls of soda in the water will erad- icate stains from clothes and lend a snowy whiteness. 1 have used it on the finest quality of white goods with entire satisfaction. It will not injure the material.
 To clean a coffee or tea pot made of granite or lined with porcelain, fill up the utensil with cold water, set on stove to boil, and add lump of soda as large as hazelnut to the water. It cleanses perfectly. In fact, sweet ness is insured after it's usage in ev- cry instance.
 To clean silver: Put level ta- blespoonful in dishpan, add a quart of cold water, put on fire to boil (put silver in pan in the cold water), and wipe immediately after the water boils up. Result: Perfectly shined silver ware without any trouble. These are hints I learned for myself on the usages of soda.

SOME HINTS ON SWEEPING
Broom In the Hands of the Inexperl- enced Often Does More Harm
 Than Good.

It Is not an easy matter to sweep well, at any rate, if one judges by ex- perience, for when a broom is put in- to the hands of the inexperienced more harm than good generally results from the use of it.
 Light sweeping and soft brooms are desirable. Many a carpet is prema- turely worn out by careless sweeping
 In sweeping thick piled carpets al ways brush the way of the pile. By doing so it may be kept clean for years; but if the broom is used in a different way the dust will enter the carpet and soon destroy it.
 IT the carpet covers the whole floor of the room and it is nailed down, place the chairs and other articles of furniture which can be easily moved In the middle of the room, pin up the curtains and cover the couch with an old sheet.
 Pieces of damp paper may be spr1nkled round the sides of the room, and then sweep with a carpet broom toward one place.
 Take short strokes, being careful not to raise the broom much. Sweep the corners and edges with small .whiskbroom.
 Put two tablespoonfuls of ammonia into one gallon of water; wiring cloth out of this and wipe the carpet. This will remove the dust and help to brighten the carpet.

OUTOFTHEORpINARY ]

led some of the lads to declare that the creature was bewitched. To test the matter the toys wanted to throw the squirrel down a precipice several hundred feet deep.
 The traveller intervened to obtain fair play for the squirrel. The pris- oner was conveyed in a pillow case to the edge of the cliff, and then let out, that. he might take the choice be- tween captivity and the terrible leap.
 The squirrel looked down the abyss, and then backward and sideways, his eyes glistening, his form crouching. Seeing no escape except in front, he took flying leap into space, and 1ut- tered, rather than fell into the abyss below. His legs began to work like those of swimming poodle dog. but faster and faster, while his tail, slight ly elevated, spread out like feather fan.
 He landed on ledge of limestone, where he could be seen squatting on his hind legs and smoothing his ruff led fur, after which he made for the creek with flourish of his tail, took drink and scampered away.

It Means Health
 For the Child

The careful mother, who watches closes ly the physical peculiarities of her chile dren, will soon discover that the most important thing In connection with Q child's constant good health Is to keep the bowels regularly open. Sluggish bowels will be followed by loss of appe- tite. restlessness during sleep, irrita- bility and a dozen and one similar evi- dences of physical disorder.
 At the first sign of such disorder give the child teaspoonful of Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and repeat the dose the following night if necessary-more than that will scarcely be needed. You will find that the child will recover its accustomed good spirits Sat once and will eat and sleep normally.
 This remedy is a vast improvement over salts, cathartics, laxative waters and similar things, which are altogether Mrs. B. B. Jackson, Burr Oak, Kas., and Mrs. J. H. Walters, Mulberry, Kas., are always supplied with pr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin, and with them, as with thousands of others, there is no substitute for this grand laxative. It Is really more than a laxative, for it contains superior tonic properties which help to tone and strengthen the stomach, liver and bowels so that after a brief use of 1t all laxatives can be dispensed with and nature will do it's own work.
 Anyone wishing to make @ trial of this remedy before buying it in the regular way of a druggist at fifty cents or one dollar a large bottle (family size) can have sample bottle sent to the home free of charge by simply addressing Dr. w. B. Caldwell, POI Washington St., Monticello, III. Your name and address on a postal card will do.

USE SALT ON ROADS

As a general rule the roads in and around French towns are tarred at the commencement of the summer in order to abate the dust nuisance. It has, however, been found that tar, although excellent in the case of macadamized roads, is of little or no value where car lines exist and paved street crossings intersect the roads in every direction, as tarring cannot be carried out on stones.
 The authorities, passing their action on the well-known hygrometrical properties of common salt, have made test of it's value in laying the dust. Twenty yards of roadway have been sprinkled literally with salt and then watered freely. If the results are satisfactory salt will be used through out the town of Havre, it being i'm possible to tar the majority of the streets, as they are paved with rough stone blocks.

PAINT MADE FROM CACTUS

When travelling through the rural districts of Uruguay ones attention is attracted to the fine white color of the farm buildings, even during the wet season. To obtain this neat ef- feet a whitewash is used which is made with the sliced leaves of the common cactus, macerated in water for A hours, producing solution of creamy conscience; to this lime Is added and we'll mixed. When applied to any surface, be it of wood, brick, iron or other material, a beautiful pearly white appearance is produced, which will endure through storms and frosts for many years.

Lemon Jelly.

An excellent rule for lemon jelly, which is nice either as a dessert by itself or as foundation for an elabo- rate sweet, calls for two cupfuls of boiling water, two small lemons, half a big cupful of sugar and two large tablespoonfuls of gelatine, or as much as will stiffen the mixture when 1t be- comes cold. Soak the gelatine in barely enough cold water to cover 1t, and when 1t becomes soft melt 1t completely by setting the cup 1t is in in boiling hot water. Then stir it inn mediately into the lemon juice, water and sugar, which should be heating on the stove. Let the jelly harden on ice or snow after pouring 1t into a mold.

BOY AND EAGLE IN BATTLE

Elmer Peterson, fifteen years old, living four miles west of Little Falls, Minn., had hard battle with an eagle and was saved from serious injury only by the arrival of brother. The boy had shot the bird, which was in a tree. The eagle fell to the ground and immediately went at the boy with it's talons. The birds claws became fastened in the boys clothing and the lad was unable to free himself. FL mer was badly frightened and his strength was giving out when his brother arrived and killed the eagle with a club. The bird measured five feet across the wings.

SQUIRRELS WONDERFUL LEAP

It is said that every species of tree squirrel seems capable of sort of rudimentary flying, or at least of mak- ing itself into parachute so as to break a fall.
 One naturalist tells of an occasion when his dog treed red squirrel in a tall hickory that stood on the side Of a steep hill. To cbservo what the squirrel might do when closely press ed the investigator climbed the tree The little fellow took refuge in the topmost branches, and then, as the naturalist approached, boldly leaped into the air, spread himself upon it, and, with quick, tremulous motion of his tail and legs, descended quite slowly and landed upon the ground thirty feet below, apparently none the worse for the leap, for he ran with great speed and escaped up another tree.
 A traveller in Mexico relates a still more striking instance of the power of squirrels, partly to neutralize the effect of the force of gravity when leaping through the air.
 It appears that some boys had caught a black squirrel nearly as large as cat. It had escaped from them once by leaping sixty feet from the top of a pine tree, anG this had
