After Four Years Of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave

Came to Rescue.

Catron, Ky.-In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bette Bullock
writes as follows: 81 suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, l could only sit up for little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, | would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while; but | was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good:
had gotten so weak | could not stand,
and l gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me bottle OF
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and COM
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, | could tell it was helping me. !
can now walk two miles without its
firing me, and am doing my work"
If YOU are all run down from womaniy
troubles, don't give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman tonic. lthas helped
more than a million women, in its so
years of wonderful success, and should
Surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him! He will recon-
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.

Sawdust Bricks for Fuel.

Every time a thousand feet of cut
lumber are turned out $50 pounds of
sawdust drops off in waste. In the
province of British Columbia alone
the annual lumber output is estimat-
ed at 1850, 100000 feet. This means
a sawdust waste of 236,250 tons.
The theory that sawdust could be
made worth more than useless pile
on dump heap, or coverings for bar
room floors and icy sidewalks, has
long been terminating. Now two
British Columbia concerns are begin
ming to compress sawdust into bricks,
or briquets, to be sold for fuel, and
the same thing can be done in Wash
ington, Oregon, Michigan, and other
timber States.
1t is estimated that the 236,250
tons of sawdust waste in British Co.
lumbia alone would be worth 81 ,417,-
500 if turned into bricks at Sc per
ton. 1t is estimated that the cost
including depreciation, interest on
the capital, insurance and other items
would average So per ton. The sales
on the market would vary according
to the price for ordinary wood and
coal, and some claim that the BRIG
uets are superior to both for crate
fires.
A special process to make sawdust
briQuets has been evolved, and spec
ial machinery is being perfected. One
of the things needed is a compress
ing machine. The original cost is
from $4,000 to $4,000, but such a
machine has a maximum pressure of
10000 pounds to the square inch,
and can turn out an average of H.
600 briquets an hour The briquets
average three inches in diameter and
are held together by a tarred jute
string.

Vera Cruz Customs Problem.

According to cablegram from
Gen. Funston, goods to the value of
upward of 100000 pesos-S1, ,000,-
OO0-consigned to, various points in
Mexico, are now in the custom house
at Vera Cruz said Thomas B. Nc
Manus, of New York.
Gen. Funston notified the war
department that the owners of these
goods are asking that they be return
turned to them and that they be al
lowed to withdraw duties. The Sec
tary of State conferred with the Sec
retary of Commerce and learned that
the American custom in such cases is
to permit the withdrawal of goods
held in custom house within GER
tain time specified by law. The Mex
ican law provides that goods held in
bond in Mexican custom house may
be withdrawn with the consent of the
Mexican minister of finance, but Gen.
Funston finds himself unable to COM
municate with the minister of finance,
if such an official is recognized by the
United States, and inasmuch as a
very large proportion of the goods
thus held are of a perishable variety,
he asks for instructions as to what
disposition should be made of them.
The Secretary OF State, after con-
1erring with the Secretary Of Com
merce, recommended to the Secretary
of War that ell goods of perishable
character be returned to the agents
OF the consignors, and that the own
ers of those goods which would not
deteriorate be required to deposit
with the temporary collectors Of Gus
toms at Vera Cruz the amount Of
Mexican duties, so that when the
United States comes to a final settle
ment with Mexico and an accounta-
bility of that Republic of it's steward
ship of the customs at Vera Cruz, it
can give an accurate accounting.
The question as to the final dis
position of the duties thus deposited
must, of course, be left to future
consideration.
This decision on the part of the
Secretary of State, which will un-
doubtedly receive the approval of the
Secretary of War, will release at least
S350,000 worth of American goods
of a perishable character now held
in the custom house at Vera Cruz
and probably an equal amount OF
foreign goods held under the same
conditions

JURY FAILS TO AGREE.
Mistrial Ordered i'm Joseph G. Sulli-
van Case.

Laurens, June PA mistrlal was
ordered this morning shortly after 8
O'Clock by Judge Frank B. Gary in
the case of Joseph G. Sullivan, who
was placed on trial in the court OF
general sessions for Laurens county
Friday morning, charged with the
murder of Col. John NJ. Cannon at
Gray Court. May y. The jury in the
case was discharged and the court
formally adjourned after the judge
directed that the defendant be held
for the next term of the court on
a bond of $4,000, the same amount
allowed when the young prisoner was
admitted to bail a week after the
homicide. The same sureties signed
the bond this morning and the de-
fendant soon thereafter left for his
home in Sullivan township, accom-
panied by his father and brother,
who remained in the city during the
night.
As stated in these dispatches last
night, the case was given to the jury
shortly before o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. After celebrating on the
case for some time, the jury filed
back into the court room and asked
for further explanation on some
points at issue in the trial. This was
given and again the jury retired. At
midnight it was evident to the out
side that a disagreement on a verdict
would be the result, but there was
no indication from the jury room
after the second retirement that an
agreement was likely during the
night. 1t is understood the jury was
hopelessly divided from the first. The
next term of court will be held in
September.

The most superficial investigation

of strangers living so far away you
cannot investigate the facts of the

Wireless Telephones for Railways

To call a friend by telephone and
hold unexpected conversation with
him while flying by his city in lux
urious Pullman car at sixty miles an
hour, promises soon to be a practl-
cal adventure for the traveller. Re-
cent tests of the wireless telephone
apparatus for railway trains have Civ
en- every satisfaction. These tests
were made on the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad, follow
ing similar successful tests of wire
less telegraph installations upon the
same road.
Radiotelephone apparatus was re-
Gently installed at Scranton, Pa, up
on one of the roads through trains.
Despite the fact that the work was
hurriedly done, it was found posi-
BILE, upon second trial, to maintain a
clear voice connection with the train
as far as Stroudsburg, Pa, which
is some So miles distant. Messages
we're sent and received while the
cars were moving at 60 miles and
more an hour.
The antennae of the station at
Scranton are 800 feet long and $50
feet high, while on the train they on
ly extend over the four forward cars,
the radio station being on the second
car from the locomotive. On ac-
count of the noises of the train, it
was necessary to use an ampllfier,
giving from fifty to sixty times am
plifcation. The energy of the plant
was generated by a steam turbine in
the baggage coach, which was sup
piled with steam from the steam
heating pipes beneath the car.
While the apparatus tested upon
the car was of low power, no diff
Guilty was experienced in telephoning
from Scranton to inghampton, a
distance of 67 miles over wooded and
mountainous country. The officials
of the road purpose to make perma-
nent installation of wireless services
on two of their fast trains.
