BusIne.. Mans Interest i'm Music

1T is most encouraging TO those of us
who try to promote good music to receive
through the mail a voluntary offer such
as was handed me today said a promi-
nent member of the musical set. THE
writer of the letter Is a high official of
one of the big iron companies and this is
what he says: L suppose the music fes-
tival will materialize this year as usual
and l want to be one of the guarantors,
it being my understanding that the max
imum amount that any guarantor would
have to subscribe is 800.
lis there any chance of getting the
Flonzaley quartet back here this spring?
I should think you could find 100 men in
Birmingham who would gladly guarantee
that the necessary funds would be forth
coming. If you can get the F'lozaleys
back this season put me down on the
guarantee list, or put me down on the list
whenever you can get that splendid quar-
tet again.
II happen to know that the gentleman
who wrote the letter has been on every
musical guarantee ever secured in Bir-
mingham during my residence here of Il
years. ne mas pdiu many d ueici'' hHe
others of us, and still he comes forward
eagerly to be a guarantor for future at
fractions. There are hundreds of public
spirited men here who will always sub
scribe to a guarantee fund to secure mu-
sical attractions, but few of the Jealous
ones have to look them up. If we had
many business men like the one / have
just quoted it would make it that much
easier on the workers.

"Well, It Was

Is Expression Used by Mrs. Cossey in Telling of Her
 Narrow Escape

Carrsville. Ky.-Mrs. F. E. Cossey, Of this town, writes the following in teresting letter for publication: Well, it was simply wonderful. what your medicine. Cardui, the womans tonic, did for me. l had been afflicted for nearly six Soars, with womanly trca- ble, and would suffer so very much every month!
 Ii would take a book to tell whaE l have suffered in that time.
 I got so that I could not sleep at night, from nervousness l took many different treatments to treat me, but they did not help me.
 I hardly know how to tell you what Cardui has done for me. When I took Cardui, it relieved me at once. I can't praise it enough. I have taken about seven bottles. and nothing else I ever took gave me such relief
 All my friends know how bad I was, and how Cardui has helped me in many different ways"
 If you suffer from any of the ail- ments so common to weak women, what reason could there be for your not giving Cardui at least a fair trial?
 For more than 50 years Cardui has been used with entire satisfaction, by thousands of weak and diling women. It will surely help you too. Get q bottle to-day.

G|LP|N COUNTY WILL HAVE HISTORIC
CABIN At THE PANAMA EXPOSITION

Little old Gilpin county, which is
ever to the fore whenever anything
of worldwide prominence comes up,
is to be the only section in the
whole great state of Colorado that
will have building at the wonder
full Panama exposition to be held in
San Diego, Cal, during the year 1915.
This building will be log cabin
that will be transported from Cen
tral City and placed on the exposi-
ton grounds in San Diego. 1t is
the birthplace of d. C. Collier the
founder and head of the exposition
Mr.. Collier is distinguished son
of old Gilpin county, ard an honor
and a pride to the community of his
birth.
The cabin was built in Central by
Mr.. Golfers father in the early COS.
About ten years later, the son first
saw the light of day in this crude
old structure. The cabin stands to-

now owned by John C. Jenkins, who
for years occupied it as his resi-
dence. The logs have been cover
ed with siding and an addition of
modern construction has been added.
Nevertheless, the original log cabin
remains today as it was construct
ed more than half a century ago
This old land mark will be novel
ty at the great exposition. 1t will
be reconstructed on the grounds Just
as it appeared when D. C. Collier
was born. 1t will be placed in the
grounds at San Diego as testimon-
ial OF appreciation of the untiring
work of Mr.. Collier in promoting the
exposition. 1t will endure as a last
ing monument not only to the man,
but to old Gilpin county, fer when
the show is over and numerous of
the other buildings are removed, this
humble cabin will remain and will be
turned over to the park commission.

Senator Clark want it on the grounds
so that the vines that shall cover

AS Mr.. White told the Observer,
it is impossible to estimate the val

will receive through this novel fea-
ture Of the San Diego exposition.
From now until the big show is over
the history of this old cabin will be
read and discussed, and thousands
will learn of the starting point of
men of distinguished financial and
commercial careers. The interior Of
the cabin will contain a cabinet of
Gilpin county ores and visitors will
be given Gilpin county literature.
The state pioneers association will
provide relics of the early days and
the cabin will be a point of histori-
cal interest to the thousands upon
| thousands that will visit San Diego
in 1915.
