Many people take 1t after they have
had the grip. Their convalescence Is
slow. They have suffered along for a
month or two, without any signs of
complete recovery. Then they resort
to Peruna as q tonic, with splendid
results.

Remarkable Testimonial for supt.
Lowell

The Bennington Banner believes
in saying good things about people
while they are alive, not waiting UNI
| til they are dead and words of praise
cannot reach their ears. The Banner
| has had in mind to say something in
| appreciation of Supt. Lovells work
| as head of the States prison, posi-
! ton from which he is retiring, but
says that there has come to hand a
rather remarkable testimonial that
is worthy of being printed and pre-
served. In the course of a personal
letter to the editor of The Banner,
Jerry. Bradley, life prisoner at
Windsor has the following to say re-
garding Mr. Lowell:
while | am sending you this
letter, / wish to say a few words in
regard TO the breakup here. No one
has asked me to say it either. 1t is
that myself and about 200 other men
here are sorry that Mr.. Lowell is 60
ing TO leave u.s. He has been a good
and kind friend to us all and we
can see that we are going to miss
him and miss him hard too. He has
made many improvements in the com
forts of the prisoners.
For fifteen long years | could
get just about half enough to
eat and had to work like time in my
cell to make little money to spend
for food. Since Mr.. Lowell has been
here l have had good clean food and
plenty of it. He has done many
things for the boys to help take the
sting out of this prison life.
Il could write large page of the
improvements he has made for the
men and have known him to dig
down in his own pocket to spend
money for the boys. Little the out
side people know of the good that
Mr. Lowell has done for the improve
ment of the men, but the prisoners
on the job know and when | see you
again, | am going to tell you a lot
more he has done for his men. 200
prisoners are sorry he is going TO
leave u.s."
The people of the State appreciate
Mr. Lovell's years of labor with the
and earnestly hope his
will take the same atti
tude, that he has, giving aid and en-
to unfortunate inmates
rather than unjust and cruel treat

ON EGYPT'S FAMOUS RIVER
Sailing on It's Placid Waters Rowers
Weirdly Chant as They Tug
at Their Oars.

AS we sat on deck, beneath the, min
arets of the mosque, the skies slowly
turned from orange to lilac and purple
of night, throwing a strange pink light
over the .city's buildings, Ariche Bell
writes in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The minosa trees and date palms be-
came black and great white cranes,
seemingly knowing that their wings
had an appropriate background. cir
cled over our heads, over the deep
azure river and over the many white
sailed dahabeahs that were floating
along in the breezeless night, propelled
by overs who were chanting Weirdly
as they tugged at the oars.
Dimly we could see the black draped
figures of numberless women approach
the riyer's brink and we knew that the
splashes in the water were caused by
the dropping Of the heavy jugs, which
they twirl around till they are filled,
after which they raise them laborious-
ly to their heads and then skip up the
banks and disappear In the darkness OF
the night.
The sounds of the city ceased and all
was quiet. ALI but the ~plailtive lay Of
a piper who must have been some
where not far of on the bank of the
river. 1t seemed that he was playing
the love song Of Larbi or BENZ Mora.
1t was monotonous and drowsy and In
yoked sleep. In the morning before
dawn l heard the boys pulling the
stake near my window. I had fallen
asleep to native music, and now was
awakened by their song. AS we start
ed up the river, the clarion call Of the
muezzin rang out from the minaret.
For good Mohammedans it meant that
a new day had begun-but for infidel
Americans, there were several add
tional hours Of sleep. I

4 COIFFURE that is popular with
"A Miss Manhattan" must possess
certain style features which are
worth inquiring into, since this young
lady is very sophisticated and keen
and discriminating, when it comes to
the matter of making selections. One
of those new hairdressings which have
compelled her approval is shown here
and since imitation is sincerest fiat
terry the French twist, made of a mass
Of waved hair, may consider itself fiat
tered.
The most noticeable points in this
style are the waving of all the hair
and the side part. There is a return
to waves and curls and the promise,
already occasionally fulfilled, of puffs
in the coming styles in coiffures. Far
more than half of the prettlest e1ects
show the hair parted at n or both
sides and massed on the top OF the
head.
The hair is combed more away from

This Is an American design, orig

and need not shrink from comparison
with the product Of any French estab-
lishment. There Is an underskirt and
waist Of silk muslin. For this under
slip the thin washable Chinese and
Japanese silks are desirable, for they
can be readily cleaned. A baby waist,
with rather full sleeves, and a plain,
moderately full skirt, answers this
purpose and is to be made as a sepa'
rate garment.

and plain. 1t is trimmed into very
shallow scallops at the bottom and

the face than it has been. This is the
effect of hats which set less far down
on the head than those that preceded
them.
1t is not difficult to orange the hair
in the manner pictured, but the wav-
ing Is not so easy. A side comb Is
worn with the long twist at the back,
and for dressy occasions a Spanish
comb makes an effective finish, thrust
in at the side neal the top or at any
angle that is becoming to the wearer.
1t is quite the style to show the
forehead bare at n or both sides.
In the side part, as pictured here, the
left forehead is bare and a lock Of
hair falls down at the right side and
center. Little love wisps of hair about
the face are curled in tight ringlets.
The ears are almost uncovered, mark
ing the last of the innovations which
hairdressers are introducing.

MONEY FOR S. {. UNIVERSITY
J. ?. Morgan, Of New York, Sends
Check For Six Thousand To
Erect Building.

Columbia.-A check for $4,000 from
]. P. Morgan & Co., Of New York, was
received by A. C. Moore, acting presi-
dent of the University of South Caro-
lima, the promised donation OF the
Peabody educational fund for the pur-
poses of an educational building at
the university.
When the donation was first offer
ed it was to have been used for schol-
arships. The board of trustees, how
ever, decided that the money could
better be used as the beginning of a
fund to erect a new building for the
school of education. A committee
consisting of A. C. Moore, president
of the university, j. E. Sw~earingen,
state superintendent Of education,
and August Kohn of the board Of
trustees went to New York last fall
and appeared before the Peabody
board and asked that permission be
given to spend the money for building
purposes.
The interest on the $4,000 will
probably be used for scholarships.
