IN LUMBER EXPORTS
Statistics for 1913 Published
by Lumber Trade
Journal

New Orleans, February 14.-Lumber ex-
port statistics for 1915 gathered by the
Lumber Trade Journal, published today
show that New Orleans is the leading
lumber exporting port of the south; Mo-
bile second Gulfport third and Pensa-
cola fourth. Figures for only half of the
year were taken from custom house re-
ports because on July l, 1913, the customs
districts We're rearranged and several
southern ports shifted from one district
to another
Taking these districts as a whole Mo-
bile is in a class by itself as to the
eral ports. including Gulfport, last year
the second largest exporter, have been
added to the Mobile district Figures
compiled for Gulfport alone this year do
not include Scranton, which cut down the
increase Gulfport shows.
OF this committee is as follows:
The figures for the four ports follow in
thousand feet: New Orleans, 377,9s7,. an
increase of 65,1sS; Mobile, ss5, 239 an in
crease of 69,T9; Gulfport, 345, 460, an in
crease of 3S,3s2, and Pensacola, 2S6, 1853.
decrease of 1853. The Mobile district ex-
ports amounted to 710,673.
commenting upon the statistics the
Lumber Trade Journal says:
There was an increase in shipments
of nearly all classes of woods from the
entire country, pitch pine showing the
greatest proportion of gain, nearly 25 per
cent.
THE record of exports was to Great
Britain. which amounted to S6,S51, 600,
while Canada showed a decrease of about
the same amount. The next greatest in
crease was to China. 42,036,000 feet or
about S5 per cent over 1912. Exports to
Europe increased about 20 per cent"

To Renew Complexion
Without Cosmetics
(From The Dermatologist. )

IL the excessive user of cosmetics
only knew the impression her artific
iality really makes upon others, she
would quickly seek means of gaining
natural complexion. Let her acquire the
mercolized wax habit, discarding make
ups entirely and she will soon have the
kind of complexion that women envy
and men admire It's so easy to get al
ounce of mercolized wax at any drug
store. use nightly like cold cream and
wash it off mornings. And the results
are so remarkable. Gradually the life
less cuticle peels off, in almost invisible
flaky particles. In a week or so there's
a brand new complexion, clear. velvety-
soft. of girlish color and texture The
treatment is so simple, harmless and
marvelously effective. the wonder Isl
that every woman whose skin is with
cred, discolored rough. chapped, freck-
led or pimpled, has not already adopt
cd II.
I Let wrinklcd women quit pastes and
massage creams which mar the skin
still more and try this more sensible
treatment: Dissolve OF. powdered sax
olite In Il pint witch hazel. use as
face bath. Every line will quickly dis

GETS PATENT ON
AUTOMOBILE LAMP
G. II. BrazeltOn Has Plan for
Mounting Lamps in the
Radiator Frame

G.. I. Brazelton has just received his
formal papers on his new patented auto
mobile lamp attachment. He has sold
half interest in the patent to f. E-White-
head and l.. A. Whitehead, and negotia-
tions are now under way with some Of
the big automobile manufacturers for
exclusive use of the new device on their
machines.
The invention relates to an Improvement
in the manner of attaching lamps to auto
mobiles and particularly to an arrange
ment whereby th- large front lamps can
be mounted in the radiator frame or
formed as a part of this frame. The patent
papers specify that the present method
of mounting the lamps causes them to
work loose and rattle and also exposes
them to injury. Another object of the
invention is to provide lamps with lateral
openings provided with shield which can
be controlled by the driver. by which
rays of light can be thrown laterally
an arrangement which is often desirable
in searching for turn out roads or road
signs.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-15

A effective catarrh remedy must
L n have a double action upon the
human system.
First, it must have tonic effect up
on the whole system; and, second, 1t
must have a direct action on the catar-
rhal condition.
Catarrh begins with some form of
Capillary irritation, most commonly
that condition known as catching cold.
Catching cold causes a congestion of
the mucous membrane, which at
tack the head, throat lungs or the mu-
cous membrane of other internal
organs.
The treatment of catarrh is. there
fore, no longer guess work; the nature
of oatarrh is so thoroughly understood,
and the action of the drugs so cam-
pletely comprehended. that the remedy
can be adjusted to the disease with an
accuracy that almost approaches scion
tific completeness.
Peruna brings to the home the CON-
bined knowledge of several schools of
medicine in the treatment of catarrhal
diseases. Every ingredient of Peruna
has a reputation of its own in the relief
of some phase of catarrh
