HAIR CAME OUT BY HANDFUL

SO Lewis st.. Nashville, Tenn
about three years ago I had the ma.
laria fever, and when I recovered my
hair was falling out SO that the doc.
tor told me to cut 1t of. My hair came
out by the handful, and I had dandruff
so that I had to scratch 1t out every
week, and my scalp itched 80 that I
pulled my hair all down trying to
scratch 1t. I tried - aud and
- but they failed to do any good.
At last I tried Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment.
First I combed my hair out, made
a parting on the side and rubbed my
scalp with the Cuticura Ointment. The
next morning I washed with the Cuti-
cura Soap and water, and continued
until the third application gave a COM
plete cure" (Signed) Miss Nellie

U. D. C. DISAGREE.
Two Chapters at Meridian Divide Over
dwelling of Monument. !.


Meridian.--An unfortunate and en-
barrassing state of affairs has arisen
between the Col. II. NJ. Street and the
Winnie Davis Chapters OF United
Daughters of the C~onfcderacy over the
ceremonies incident to the unwilling Of
the Confederate monument to be erected
in the courthouse square in this city.
At a recent Joint meeting of the two
chapters it was decided by vote that tie
exercises should be held out of doors.
1t appears that the Col. II. NJ. Street
Chapter was favorable to the out-ot-
door exercises, and at a joint meeting
OF the two chapters with a committee
of Walthall Chapter, U, c. ", called
for the purpose of arranging plans for
the ceremonies, the Winnie Davis Chap.
ter was inclined to ignore the statement
OF tn" vote taken at the previous meet
ing, and, because the Col. Street Chap
ter would not agree to the ceremonies
being held indoors, left the meeting. in
u body.
Immediately after the withdrawal OF
the Winnie Davis members the Col.
Street Chapter was called to order by
the president and a resolution was I'M
animously adopted to the effect that
the t}l Street Chapter withdraw from
all association with the ceremonies. The
unveilng of the monument was to have
taken place OF April 26, Memorial Day,

Bowels Get Weak
AS Age Advances
The First Necessity Is to
Keep the Bowels Gently
Open With a Mild
Laxative Tonic

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition Of the
bowels that great care should be taken
to e that they act regularly. The fact
Is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive
and the liver does not store up the
juices that are necessary to prompt
digestion.
= Some help car be obtained by eat
ing easily digested foods and by
plenty of exercise, but this latter is
i-ksome to most elderly people. One
thing is certain, that a state of con
stipation should always be avoided as
1t Is dangerous to life and health. The
best plan Is to take a mild laxative
as often al Is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty 1t is suggested
that cathartics, purgatives, physics,
salts and pills be avoided, as they do
but temporary good and are so harsh
ss to be a shock to a delicate system.
A much better plan, and one that
thousands Of elderly people are follow
ing, is to take a gentle laxative-tonic
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup. Pepsin,
which acts as nearly like nature as is
possible. In fact, the tendency Of this
remedy is to strengthen the stomach
and bowel muscles and so train them
to act naturally again, when medicines
Of all kinds can usually be dispensed
with. This Is the opinion Of many
people Of different ages, among them
Mr.. o. P. Miller, Baroda, Mich, who
writes: II am 80 years old and have
