PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE

Bad blood.-that is, blood that is
Smpure or Impoverished, thin and pale
lis responsible for more ailments
than anything else
It affects every organ and func-
ton. In some cases it causes catarrh;
in others, dyspepsia; in others. rheu-
natfsn; and in still others, weak. tired
1anguid feelings and worse troubles.
IT is responsible for run-d down con-
ditions, and is the most common cause
of disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
purifier and enricher of the blood the
world has ever known. 1t has been
wonderfully successful in removing
scrofula and other hunors, increasing
the red-blood corpuscles, and building
up the whole system. Get it today.

NEW HOSPITAL
is PICTURED IN
A TRADE PAPER
THE MANUFACTURERS RECORD
OF BALTIMORE CONTAINS IN
LAST ISSUE NEAT AND CLEAR
ILLUSTRATION OF BUILDING.

Pensacola's new hospital building is
receiving complimentary mention in
many trade journals of late, and among
the latest is the Manufacturers Rec
ord, the great southern weekly, de-
voted to the interests of the South, and
which is published in Baltimore.
On page So Of the last issue a clear
and neat cut of the new building is
printed, the short description of the
same being worded as follows:
CONSTRUCTION is progressing on the
buildings for the Pensacola hospital

Quoted by the Sisters Of Charity Of

lized for the institution. The hospital

constructed Of white stone, including
the power house, in accordance with
plans and specifications by A. .. Won
Herbulis Of Washington and Birming-
ham. This building will be 200 feet
long by 1S6 feet wide, equipped with
vapor heat and steam plants, gas and
electric lighting facilities, etc, the gen.
eral building contract having been
awarded to the Evans Construction Co.
of Bir1ning CHAM. An accompanying view
represents the hospital as it will APP
pear when completed"
Work Is Progressing.
The work on the great building is
going along as rapidly as possible at
present. 1t is a great undertaking to
move the building material to the site
from the railway cars, a distance of
about a, dozen blocks, and many teams
are employed to do this duty. One
thing, however, Is gratifying to the
teamsters and the contra ctors, and
that is the use of a straight paved
street from the railway switch di-
rectly to the hospital site, and it may
be interesting to note that the pave
ment over which the heavily-laden
teams move has suffered not the least
damage although for the entire route
the thoroughfare is covered with the
granotoid process.
The erection of the building has
given employment to scores of Pen
sacola men, and the payrol1s each week
are good fat ones.

Last Niaht,s Play.

The best audience which has greeted
any performance at the Pensacola OPP
era House this season greeted AL Will
son at the matinee and evening per-
formances at the Opera House last
night. Mr.. Wilson has been married
since his visit here last year. He
made this announcement to his au-
dience and that may have. had some
thing to do with his happy frame of
mind, the unusual beauty Of his song
numbers and the mellow charm of the
wonderful voice that has delighted so
many Pensacola audiences.
One of the songs, by request, Wind
ing of the Yarn, was received with
that enthusiasm 1t always evokes and
the yodle was wonderfully rendered.
In the part Of Metz Won Freiburg,
Wilson passed even his unique charm
and Lady Helen and Katrina Chatter
cap were most attractive in their roles.
One of the features that was greatly
enjoyed, especially by the children, was
the song, Mr.. Bear, the real live bear,
in his bunny hug dance eleciting great
applause.
Mr.. Wilson has probably made more
people laugh than any other come
dian on the stage. It appears to be
Mr. Wilson'S mission in life to create
laughter. In his makeup there is a
constantly flowing fountain of conta-
gious humor that affects all classes of
people alike, and after they have wit
messed one of his performances they
leave the theatre with the feeling
that life is still worth the living. Year
after year this popular comedian goes
merriIy along, holding old friends and
making new ones, who always wear a
gladstone smile whenever the name
AL H. Wilson is mentioned, and who
ever have a kindly word for this pleas
ing comedian. whose Unaffected humor
and sympathetic love songs and lula
oys radiate a feeling of cheerfulness
to all mankind

Big Land Deal in Mountain

The Mt. Vernon Signal says:
Every indication points that the
big land deal of Franklin Allison
for 10000 acres in this county
Pulaski, Laurel and Jackson will
be a go. From one to five men
have been working on the deal
for two weeks, and Judge L. w.
Bethurum who is employed to
draw the deeds and make alb
stracts, is busy preparing the nee
esSary papers. Many new tracts
have been added during the week
some selling out right, some only
selling the mineral right. On a
deal of such proportion as the
one under consideration there is
room for many slip, but it is very
evident there is very great inter
est on the part of outsiders who
claim to represent financial inter
eStS amply able to handle the
deal.

Years Digging of Coal

1t has been estimated that the
amount of coal which will be dug
out of the ground in the United
States during the present year will
be greater by far than the total
excavation for the Panama Canal.
Experts for the United States
geological survey have estimated
that originally there was enough
coal in this country to make a
solid block 10 miles long, 10 miles
wide and ten 10 miles high. A
block of this size would weigh
more than 3,5OO,0OO,OOO,OOO tons,
and up to the present time the
coal that has been removed
amounts only to something like
15,0OO,OOO,OO0 tons. The coal
mined during 1914 will amount to
about 6O0,O0O,0OO tons containing
about 300,000,0O0 cubic yards.
The total excavation for the Pan
anna Canal from start to finish is
computed a t some 262,000,000
cubic yards.

Warning Issued Against Dogs

In order to reduce the likeli.
hood of hydrophobia, the State
Board of Health, through its
president, DR.. John G. South, of
Frankfort, and secretary, A. T.
Mccormick, has sent out a warn
Hg to kill all stray doys that are
found prowling around. Accord
ing to their statements large
number of the dogs heads, which
have been sent in for examination
from all sections of the State,
have been diseased with hydro
phobia. Warnings have been
sent to all sheriffs, police, con.
stables and other officers, to kill
the dogs. Owners of valuable
dogs. are asked to keep them
muzzled and off the streets.
The Pasteur treatment will be
given free to patients who apply
at Bowling Green, KY. The head
of any dog suspected of the dis
ease should be sent to Bowling
Green by express, where it will

RUSSIA'S PROMISE
OF Autonomy To Poland Regarded
Favorably BY Madame currie.

Paris.-Mme. Pierre Curie, French
scientist, who is born Pole and
whose maiden name was Sklodowska,
interviewed by the Temps in connec-
ton with Russian proclamation prom
Using autonomy to Poland, says:
"This seems to me to be the first i'm
portant step toward the unity of Po-
land and reconciliation with Russia.
This is necessary for the development
of Polish national culture Russia. as
the protector of the Slav people, is
undertaking a war to defend Servia
and can not give less to united Poland
than Austrian Poland now receives. In
our time, when national feeling is so
intense, it is certain that lasting peace
between the Polish people, numbering
25.000,000, and Russia can only come
upon basis of respect for nationality.
Germany has done more to destroy
Polish national sentiment than she has
done in a similar way in Alsace-Lor-
raine.

DRYS ARE MARKING TIME
Expected, That Appeal Will Be Made
to Circuit Court.

Lexington, Ky.-The dry" leaders,
although they have made no positive
announcement of their intention, in
timated that an appeal would be made
to the circuit court from County Judge
F. A. Bullock's decision permitting the
city upon petition of the "wets" to
hold separate prohibition election in
the city of Lexington at the time that
an election of that character is to be
held in the entire county, including
the city. The "drys" stated, however,
that no appeal would be taken until
County Judge John NJ. Stevenson, of
Clark county, had given his decision
on similar question which is pending
there. The "drys' will then, it is
stated, ask for railing in the circuit
court which will answer for all of the
counties in which the question has
been raised. For this purpose it is
said that the "dry" leaders of the va
rious counties involved will hold a
conference here soon.

KENTUCKY COAL BooMS
The Exodus of Hundreds OF Foreign
ers May Give Operators Trouble.

Barbourville, Ky.-Coal operators
in Southeastern Kentucky fields report
piling up of orders and very busy
season is in prospect. Whether the
European war has anything to do with
an improvement in conditions is not
known, but it is stated that the coal
industry in this field will be materially
benefited in the event Of prolonged
war. There is usually a picking up in
the industry at this season, due to the
filling of fall and winter orders. Good
prices now prevail.
One feature which may give opera
tors some trouble is the probable ex-
odus of large numbers Of foreigners
employed at the mines. Hungarians
and Austrians are employed by the
thousands in Southeastern Kentucky
mining districts and many of these
have left for the scene of war. 9th
ers will doubtless follow, if their serv-
ices are demanded, and scarcity OF
labor may cause operators some trou.

WHITE BURLEY TOBACCO
Experts Predict a Light YieId-Reduc.
tion of Fifteen Per Cent.

Lexington, Ky.-That the crop of
white Burley tobacco will fall consid-
erably short of last years crop is the
consensus of the reports received from
practically all the counties of the Bur
ley belt by the Burley Tobacco Co. at
its headquarters in this city. The
reports, which cover conditions up to
the last few days, indicate that, even
with favorable weather conditions, the
crop of this year will not be more than
IS per cent of that of last season, and,
as last years crop was also a very
short one, it is estimated that the pro-
duction this year will be decidedly the
smallest for a number of seasons.
Therefore the prices are expected to
be high, and it is prophesied by to-
bacco men here that the market will
open in November with sales on a
scale decidedly above those of pre-
ceding years.

Louisville, Ky.-According to the re-
port on occupations recently issued by
Director William ]. Harris, of the
bureau of the census department of
commerce, there were 866,9S0 persons
10 years of age and over in Kentucky
in 1910 engaged in gainful occupations.
The gainful workers thus formed 37.9
per cent of the total poulation of the
state (2,289,905) and 50.3 per cent of
the population 10 years of age and
over 1,722,64G. In 1900 the 752,531
gainful workers of the state formed
35 per cent of the total population and
47.3 per cent of the population 10 years
of age and over.
The male gainful workers in 1916
numbered 719,369, or S2.3 per cent OF
all males 10 years of age and over, as
compared with $4,000, or S0.1 per cent
in 1900. The female gainful workers
in 1910 numbered 1881, or ia pei
cent, of all females 10 years of age
and over, as compared with 105, ,622, OF
1876 per cent, in 1900

Share OF BURDEN
IMPOSED BY WAR
IN OLD COUNTRY MUST BE BORN
BY BUSINESS-PRlCES
HAVE ADVANCED.
CONDITIONS ARE UNSETTLED
Inability to Sell on Exchange Was
Great Drawback in America.

New York-Trade conditions during
the past week were again very much
unsettled by the war in Europe, and
while attempts were being made to
adjust conditions to circumstances,
operators in almost every line were
being forced to combat with such unu-
sual conditions that they were Devil.
dered and unable to foreteH probable
developments. The continued suspen-
sion of exports and the inability to
sell exchange on London was a great
drawback to the export trade. Export
leaders, however, are extremely conf
dent that material improvement in the
shipping conditions will be realized
with the week. Railroad traffic author
ties also express confidence that some
real relief is in sight, which may af-
ford the basis for the withdrawal by
the trunk line railroads of their in
structions to agents at interior points
to accept freight consigned for foreign
ports only on domestic bills of lading.
If such improvement takes place the
railroads will undoubtedly resume
their acceptance of shipments for eX-
port on through bills of lading, thus
lifting, in a practical sense, the vir-
tual embargo which has been enforced
by the carriers for the past ten days
against merchandise destined for for
eign ports.
Buying of steel products has un-
doubtedly decreased since the war
started. Some projects have been
definitely held up, while in other cases
buyers are moving more slowly on ac-
count of financial uncertainties. Apart
from direct exports of iron and steel,
which have been running about 1,000,-
600 tons year to destinations other
than Canada, there is a large export
trade in manufactures also shut off,
such manufactures having hitherto in
volved between 100000 and 100000
! tons annually. Thus the immediate
effect of the war would be to slow
down the steel industry, but, fortu-
| nately, the mills entered the month
with specifications sufficient to run
them about 80 days, and, with some
specifications still coming in, they
should be able to run for considera-
bly, longer period than that at about
two-thirds capacity.
