SKIN DISEASE ON FACE

Barthell, Ky.-'T had a skin disease
on my face, neck and hands that tor
mented me all the time and when I
would get hot the places would burn
SO that had to keep my face wet in
cold water. 1t began as pimples and
indeed it was disfiguring, for 1t would
get in spots on my face and hands as
large as a quarter of dollar. 1t would
get into blisters sometimes and sure
did suffer My face burned all the
time. It was this way SO bad for
about six years and tried everything
that l could hear of, but nothing did
any good.
"One day I found the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment advertised and ordered
some at once. / would wash my face
good with the Cuticura Soap and then
apply the Cuticura Ointment and they
have cured me. 1t would take half

years" (Signed) Mrs. Della Hill.

ALMOST LOST
HER REASON
But Thanks To An Old Friend.
This Terrible Catastrophe
Was Avoided.

Tampa, Fla.--Mrs. e. @. Coram OF
No. 1905 Highland Ave. says: Il was
very weak and worn out from woman
ly troubles. My husband bought me
two bottles Of Cardui to take as
tonic. and from the first day 1t seemed
to me l felt its good effects.
BY the time had used the two bot
ties, / felt and looked like a new
woman.
Some time later I got my feet wet
at the wrong time, and / turned to
Cardui to remedy the mischief done.
Before l had taken one bottle 1t
gave me the needed relief.
Again, in later life, when passing
over critical time, almost lost my
reason, but thanks to three or four
bottles of Cardui, did not. That has
been Is years ago. ! am now SO years
of age, and feeling fine.
constantly praise Cardui to all my
sick friends.
1t Is a wonderful remedy"
This earnest letter should take from
your mind any doubt you might have
as to the merits of Cardui, the wom-
ans tonic. Mrs. Coram Is certainly
competent to recommend Cardui,
since 1t helped her over three critical
stages of life.

CLEARED AWAY
Proper Food Put the Troubles Away.

Our own troubles always seem mere
severe than any others. But when a
man Is unable to eat even light
breakfast, for years, without severe
distress, he has trouble enough.
1t Is small wonder he likes to tell Of
food which cleared away tie troubles.

After eating I would suddenly be
seized with an attack of collie and

headache and misery that would some

"Since began to eat Grape-Nuts !

In the Gloom Above Houses Of

! have just had a curious expe-
rience, writes a correspondent. / was
invited to take walk over the upper
part of the Houses of Parliament, and
having been through once, must
confess that / never want to repeat
the experience.
We went in through the door in
the corner of the central hall. After
little waiting, our eyes grew used to
the gloom, and we ventured to move
few yards forward, only to stumble
as we went over the metals of tiny
railway laid upon the floor at our feet.
Someone somewhere long way of
switched on light which sprang up
at the end of corridor that seemed
miles and miles away-a little flicker
of light at the end of tunnel of
gloom. We could see the metals of
the railway going on and on ever so
far, and was not at all surprised
when was told that 1t went over the
entire roof of the Houses of Parlia-
ment. Its use Is the mere mundane
one Of carrying Goals, which are put
In trucks and wheeled to wherever
they are needed in the building.
Another light Is switched on for a
moment to point us to where little
flight Of stairs leads over the dome to
a dark, gloomy room guarded by a
heavy iron door We go through the
iron door and find ourselves In little
chamber, from where, leaning over a
balcony, you can look right down on
to the floor Of the central hall itself.
We emerge again and mount an
other flight of stairs leading q little
way across the dome and here for the
first time we notice a peculiar noise.
1t is like the roar of huge traffic, so
crushed together that 1t is impossible
to distinguish the sound of any wheel
or the tap of horses foot. This
noise is really the noise of all the
winds Of all the world which rush
into this tower through the openings
and rush round and round again In
their efforts to get free Even on a
mild day the noise Is 30 much that
conversation in ordinary tones is diff
ficult. What it must be like on a
wild day can easily be imagined.
The whole place Is eerie beyond un-
Outstanding, and could not help CIV

HER SHARE IN THE WORK
Mr.. Younghusband Certainly Has
Right to Be Proud of His
Practical Little Wife.

She had made him a present of
pair of green, red, and blue carpet
slippers for his first birthday since
their marriage, and he was in costa
sizes over them.
Il know you'd like them, Harry"
she smiled, "if for no other reason
than that made them all myself"
What" exclaimed Harry. You
don't mean to say that this is all
your work? Great Scott! What
genius of wife I've married.
"Of course" qualified the young
wife, Il bought the uppers, and Mary
sewed them together, and got a
man to sole them, but put on the
bows and did them up in the box
and, do you know, Harry, / think you
ought to be very proud to have such
practical little wife"
And he was.

ELECTION BOARD
OBJECT OF ATTACK
FUSION SEEKS INJUNCTION, ALLEG-
ING CHOICE Is ILLEGAL.
Argument on Petition Will Be Had Be-
fore Chancellor Allison in NASH
vile on Friday-No Dual
Boards This Time.

Nashville. Attorneys representing
Messrs. Young and Penland of the old
state election board filed a bill in the
chancery court asking an injunction re-
straining Messrs Alexander, Carter and
Reichman, recently elected commission
ers under the new law, from acting.
Judge John A. Pitts of Nashville filed
the enjoining papers, and associated with
him as counsel are w. II. Swigart of
Union City, Sam Holdin of Columbia,
Foster " Brown of Chattanooga and Lit
tell j. Rust of Nashville.
On the Young-Penland petition Chan
cellor Allison issued temporary inlunc-
ton and set the hearing for next Friday.
The filing of this bill is the outcome of
the legislative muddle which has torn the
state to pieces politically again. The
purpose of the bill is to prevent the for
nation of new state election board
by alleged illegal methods. The suit was
brought in the name of more than 100
citizens and politicians OF the state,
every section being represented. The
bill enters fully into the political strug-
gle of the state, going back to the old
days when elections were held by sheriffs
and leading on up through the exciting
events of the past six years to the
drastic measures of the present session.
The action taken will prevent much
of the confusion of two years ago when
similar bill was filed and pushed
through the courts. This time there will
probably be no action by either set OF
members until the court takes final ac-
ton, in which event there will not be
two sets of county boards appointed to
bring about future conflicts. The suit
will be pushed as rapidly as possible and
on it's outcome much depends.
On this decision depends the legality
or illegality Of everything that has been
done in the legislature since March 81.
The main point of attack is that the
election bill was passed over the gov
errors veto by house which had no
quorum.
1t is understood the attorneys on both
sides have made up an agreed case and
will argue it Friday:
Chancellor Allison asked the fusion
members of the board to agree to take
no action in appointing county commits
sioners until he could hear argument
on the matter Friday and render de-
cision. This proposition was readily
agreed to, so nothing will be done by
either wing of the board until decision
Is reached.

POULTRYMEN
PLAN BIG SHOW
EXHIBIT WILL BE HELD DURING
NEXT TRI-STATE FAIR.
Unusual Interest Is Being Shown by
Poultry Growers From All Over
the Surrounding Territory.
Memphis Chicken Center.

Memphis--The first crow of the Tri-
State Poultry Association announcing its
plans for the 1913 Tri-State Fair came
Monday, and from the volume of Its
sound and the cocksureness of its tone
this is going to be the greatest show
yet held.
Modesty among poultry growers is al
most an unknown quantity, but the
pride of its members in the Tri-State As
ISOLATION seems justified if the wide
spread interest being manifested form all
points of the compass is correct index
of its Importance.
There are, perhaps, more chicken en-
thusiasts to the square inch in Memphis
than in an other part of the United
States.
Almost every breeder of fancy poul-
try in the country has indicated his in
tention of exhibiting at the show; and
the keen competition given them by local
fanciers in the past insures that only
their best birds will be brought here.
The Tri-State Poultry Association was
formed five years ago for the purpose of
working with the Tri-State Fair and the
promotion of interest among the poultry
growers of this section. From nucleus
of few enthusiasts the association has
grown rapidly until it now has men,
bership of 1870 active workers producing
prize-winning birds in every line of breed
ing that they have taken up.
TIL show will be held September % to
81 in connection with the Tri-State Fair,
and the associations guarantee of a
square deal to every exhibitor, be he
large or small, will be in force as in the
past.

THE LIABILITIES
EXCEED ASSETS
MARTIN-PHILLIPS co. OFFICIALLY
INS0LvENT BY $es,3sa.ls.
Accounts, Many Doubtful, Compose
Nearly $25o,ooo of the $4,000
Book Assets Shown by Dan
Elliotte, Receiver.

Memphis.-The report of Dan Elliotte,
receiver for the bankrupt Martin-Phillips
Company, which will be made at meet
ang of the creditors of the organization,
shows ON its face only an excess of liza
bilities of SOS, 3s3.19 over the assets.
At hurried or forced sale of the as
sets by the receiver, it is doubtful if the
assets would bring more than an average
of Is cents on the dollar, as many of the
credits are practically worthless to 9TH
ers than those engaged in plantation and
farm work nearby to where the property
is situated.
However, it is understood that num-
Der of the creditors have alreay agreed
to advance the $4,000 thought necessary
to work the crop, which is far advanced
and in good shape ON many of the plan
tations, due to the receivers vigilance,
and they will assist in greatly increasing
and conserving the resources from this
source.
The accounts payable are to numerous
planters and the clientele of the firm
who shipped them cotton and also in
clude rent notes. The other items of the
liabilities are the amounts due to va-
rious financial institutions of the coun-
try.
The initial item of the assets includes
the office fixtures, safes, etc, located
in the Memphis and other places of bust
ness of the firm, and the expense of haul
ing them to the site of general sale
would practically nearly wipe out their
proceeds, or If sold at the various loca-
tions would bring perhaps one-third OF
their quoted worth as secondhand ar
ticles
The merchandise number is the stock
of the stores of the firm located at Ross
vile and Ramsey, Tenn, Earl and Peters
Landing, Ark.
The mules have been appraised at near
ly their exact value to farmer, but IL
brought to mart for a general disposal
it would be impossible to net anything
like that amount from the proceeds of a
forced sale.
The real estate is town property at
Rossville and Earl and also in Missis-
sippi county, Ark, where the stores Of
the company are located. That item in
cludes one piece of farm property in
Arkansas outside the levee.

FREE SUMMER
FOR TEACHERS
BOARD OF EDUCATION DECIDES TO
HAVE NO SCHOOL.
Bond Issue Has Failed Only One Bid
Received and That Was Unsatis-
factory--Board Will Re
quest Private Bids.

Memphis.-Prof. L. E. Wolfe, superin-
tendent of the city schools, by direction
of the board of education, made COM
prehensive recommendation concerning
his ideas for summer school for pupils
and teachers at the meeting of the
board and the board Immediately voted
three to two that there should be no
summer school.
DR.. G. B. Malone, president of the
board; c. w. Edmondson and O. l. Kru-
ger voted against the school, and c. J..
Hasse and p. III. Phelan voted for the
school.
The teachers of the Memphis schools
are paid for twelve months work and
teach about eight and half months.
Mr.. Haase urged the members of the
board for one time to allow the super
intendent to carry out his ideas without
obstruction from the board DR.. Malone
thought that the whole proposal was a
fraud. but his ideas were vague compared
with the positive opinion of Mr.. Edmond
son. Mr.. Kruger was willing to adopt
the first part of Prof Wolfe's recon-
mendation, and Mr. Phelan thought the
last was worthy of adoption.
Mr.. Haase was willing for Prof. Wolfe
to have his way in the entire matter,
while the remainder of the board, which
was not objecting to the entire plan,
found fault with some part of it. The
result was that the entire scheme was
voted down.
The advertised bond sale did not ma
terialize. Only one bid was received for
the $4,000 issue, and that provided
that the funds should be checked out as
needed, and not deposited in any other in
stitution. The board will solicit bids
from banks without advertising further.

JOB FOR SENATOR POPE.
Will Be Made Assistant Federal District
Attorney, Is Rumor.


Chattanooga.-Senator Lew Pope, of
Bledsoe county, is slated for assistant
federal district attorney, according to
talk that is now current among Demo
cratic leaders in this section. 1t is ex-
pected that the appointment of Lewis
NJ. Coleman will be sent to the senate
this week by President Wilson. Attorney
General j. B. Cox has already forwarded
his resignation to take effect at once,
but has agreed to serve until the first
day of June. There is no doubt as to
the appointment of Judge Coleman for
the East Tennessee district. He has
left his affairs in the hands of senators
from this state and has spent but little
time in Washington, but reports from
the capital city are to the effect that no
other name is being considered by Presi-
dent Wilson and that he may be named
for the place at any time. A number of
other Tennessee appointments will prob
ably be made this week and Mr.. Wilson's
will be among the first.

1t as hard or as easy to acquire as any

I'm no genius; my friends have

Of yesterday many men falter in the
way.

MUNICIPAL LEAGUE MEETS.
Much Good for Various Cities May Be
the Outcome

Nashville.-A meeting of the Tennes-
see Municipal League will be held in the
assembly room of the Maxwell House
Tuesday, May 20. This is the first
meeting called since the organization of
the league last January, when thirty-four
Mayors met in Nashville for that pur-
pose. The objects of the league are man
fold, and it is predicted that much good
will come from such an organization in
Tennessee. There are several hundred
incorporated towns in Tennessee, each of
which has mayor who usually keeps
abreast of the times. There could not be
an organization in Tennessee composed
of men who more completely represent
the will of the people, and who have
theft interest more at heart. 1t is the
purpose of the league to bring mayors
together in semi-annual meetings and to
take up for discussion subjects which
are of interest to every mayor in the
state.

Board of Elections, held a lengthy con.
ference at the Maxwell House to discuss
the course to be pursued when the en-
tire board is called to meet at the cap
itol. Neither Mr.. Penland nor Mr. Young
would speak of the bill which is to be
filed in the chancery court asking the
issuance of writ of injunction, but
both refused to deny that this would be
done. Both memoirs also refused to
state whether or not they would attend
the meeting of the board, giving as
reason for this that they hold further
conferences before the time set for the
meeting, and that it was "ncver good to
talk on such matters" but it has been
previously stated that they would not
attend.
