Italian Sweetheart Lost Suit.
The famous tenor's troubles with
women have occupied much space in
the newspapers. About year and a
half ago Caruso was sued by a for

after a sensational trial, and his ac-
cuser was sentenced to imprisonment
for one year and to pay a fine of $500
for defamation Of character
The signorina collapsed on hearing
the sentence and had to be carried
from the court room. Caruso receiv-
ed an ovation from the crowd out
side.
The tenor was arrested in 1906
for annoying q woman in the monkey

EYES ON S. G. SCHOOL WORK.
OF Nation Watching Rural
School Experiment..

Clemson College. April 24.-Spe-
lines Of educational work are watch
ing with interest the demonstration
school experiments which are being
made in this State under w. w. Long,
pcrintendent Of the extension divis-
ion Of Clemson College. One hun
dred and forty rural shoots in this
State are now teaching practical ag-
riculture by the method Of having
the boys and girls actually to grow
crops On-a threc-aCre demonstration
plot connected with each school Mr..
Longs aim is to have before long at
least five schools in each county do
ing the work. 1t is the first expert
ment Of it's nature that has been made
in America.
Upon his return from the Confer
ence for Education in the South at
Louisville, Ky, Mr.. Long said that
the demonstration school work had
attracted the widest sort Of attention
among all the educators assembled
at the big convention, who insisted
upon hearing the details of the
work. The following letter was re-
ceived by Mr.. Long from A. p. Bour-
land, executive secretary Of the Con-
ference for Education in the South:
IL congratulate you heartily upon
the success you are making with the
demonstration plots at your 40
schools. You are getting at the
problem directly and effectively. You
have struck the right line

low it out but | am sure YOU will do

A reader says he "hauled some
clay into the COW lot from ditch
bank and the COW eats it every time
she gets Il chance. What must be
done to prevent this cow eating the
clay?"
The COW eats the clay either be-
cause of a deranged or "sour sto-
mach" or else because she is failing
10 set the salt or other mineral mat
ter she needs in her feed. Give her
one ounce OF common salt and one
tablespoonful Of ashes in her feed
once day. or perhaps a tablespoon
full Of the following mixture twice
a day in a little ground feed would
correct the trouble: One-fourth
pound each Of powdered nuX yomica
and dry sulphate Of iron and one
pound each OF pulverized charcoal
and cotton seed meal.
If the trouble is due to indigestion
it will probably also be necessary to
reduce the feed and feed a balanced
ration Of sufficient variety. The clay
eaten is not likely to hurt the COW.

HOW TO HANDLE THE MILK.
Practices that Will Prevent Milk from
Becoming Sour.

Clemson College, April 24.-Spc-
Cial: Many people have written to
clemson College from all parts Of
the State recently complaining to
Prof. j. VI. Burgess that their milk
was SOuring without apparent cause.
IhoSC people 40 not realize, PROF.
burgess said, how warm tho weather
has become. The trouble is due to
the spring changes. The sourinE OF
milk in practirally every case about
which he has been questioned has
been due TO the increased tomp"ra-
turc. Bacteria are the sole cause Of
the sourng Of milk and it is when
the weather grows warm that baCte-
ria find living conditions which just
suit them.
Prof. Burgess advises the use Of
special care in milking and in hand
ling the milk afterwards. This is the
only thing that will cffCCtually pre-
vent milk from turning during the
warm weather. Prof. burgess ad-
vice is meant for home dairies. 1t
also applies to commercial daires in
principle, but naturally more com
plicatcd processes are advised for the
latter.
The first requisite for clean milk
is clean COW. Before milking wash
the cows uddcr. The next thing is

thoroughly clean when milking use

HOW A MANS LIVER
DEFENDS HIS LIFE

The liver Is usually quiet, unassum-
ing organ and we do not think much
about il. Il has, however, protective
functions that should command respect.
In the process OF intestinal indigestion
there are set free what physicians and
scientists call ''toxic bodies" in other
words poisons. II these poisons in
10 the circulation OF the blood biliousness
or sick headache results.
Regularly the liver is able 70 destroy
these toxic bodies but lift lags in its work
they quickly form in amounts excessive
enough to be troublesome. Headache,
constipation, dizziness. furred tongue,
wind on the stomach, bad complexion
are the means by which nature gives
warning that the liver needs help.
The remedy is 10 stimulate the liver By
the use Of Pinklets, the gentle laxative
pills that do not gripe or purge but simply
assist nature. Harsh lsxstves and salts
often do harm By aegravsting the condi-

VOTE TO HEAR
T. r. ON PANAMA
But Democrats Won't Let Him Speak
Until After the Elections Are
Over

Washington. July 30.-In spite of a
lot of Democratic grumbling about hear
ing Colonel Roosevelt on the Colombia
treaty, the Senate foreign relations COM
mittee yesterday voted in favor of
granting the request of the colonel to
appear. But no definite time is stated,
and he is to be allowed to appear when
the treaty il considered
This means that, while the colonel will
be allowed to air his views on the
Columbia past, he viii probably not get
the opportunity until next session. In
dieations are that the treaty will go over
until then. The Democratic leaders in
the Senate are not disposed to take it
up now They will not unless forced to
do so by the administration.
BY the action yesterday the committee
avoids allowing the colonel to make cap
ital out OF being turned down on his re-
quest to appear, AT the same time, If
the matter goes over until next winter,
the colonel viii be denied chance to
make a statement before the committee
which would have an effect on this falls

wrested by Germany from France in
1871. is now one of the danger spots in
Europe. Many believe that at the first
warlike move by Russia Germany VIII
strike at France.
For months there have been reports
that Germany would order all French.
men expelled from Alsace- Lorraine, and
the very mention of such action aroused
the bitterest resentment in France. The
provinces have been a source OF constant
trouble to the kaiser, and serious COM
pications have been impending almost
continuously for years.
1t is believed that Germany will take
advantage of Russia's slowness in mobil-
ization if the car moves to aid Servia.
The kaiser fears to turn his back toward
France and diplomats contend that he
will endeavor to crush the French army
before engaging Russia. Such course
would mean that the first great conflict
of general European war would be be-
tween the French and Germans. Both
have been prepared for it for months.
President Poincare himself Is Lor.

The St. Louis Browns played to 10000

season has been the most prosperous in
the history of the club.
The Boston Braves intend to strength.
en- their pitching staff. President Gaff-
ney this week announced the purchase
of Pitcher CottrelI, left-hander, from
the Baltimore lnternationals. Cottrell
comes from the same team as Ruth and
Shore and ID ranked alongside of these
stars. Cottrell has been instrumental iii
keeping the Baltimore club at the head
of the International league since the de-
parture of Shore and Ruth. Cottrell will
join the Braves Immediately.
President Lannin of the Red Sox has
landed another plum for his Boston
team. This week he completed deal
with Cleveland for Yean Gregg, the phe-
nomenal southpaw pitcher of the Amer
lean league. He was obliged to give
Pitchers johnson, Coumbe and Catcher
Egan in return. When the deal was pro-
posed I.annin wanted to give Johnson,
Bedent and Egan, while President Som
ers wanted Outfelder Rehg. They com
promised. Gregg has been experiencing
a poor year, but nevertheless is consid-
cred one of the best left-handers in the
American league He has been with the
Maps for four seasons and in that time
has won ~ games and lost 80.
A Washington paper says that Walter
johnson has poorer success in st. Louis
than in any town in the American league
circuit. The hot weather saps the life
out of him, but, however, he pitches
good enough to win his games.
Charlie Carr says that the major
leagues will have to recognize the Feds
soon. He says they are worrying the
organized game considerable, but need
more talent yet to be classed as big
leaguers.
Manager Stallings of the Braves says
that his team is playing organized
baseball, the inside game, and although
they have not long list of individual
stars they are getting the results. The
Braves are not conceded better than
third place in the race, but old time fans
are citing the year in the early SOS when
the Boston club was in last position ON
July and yet won out. Johnny Evers
says the team is playing better inside
ball than he has ever seen.
Joe Wood, who has been visiting Bone-
setter Reese, expects to take his turn
on the mound within the coming week.
He was advised to rest for few days.
Managers in the Federal league seem
to have their little troubles. Joe Tinker
OF the Chicago team is only hitting for

aggregation is hitting for but .23s.

NEED OF WAR SINEWS
MAY HASTEN PEACE
Austria and Servia Cannot Get Funds
for a Very Long Con-
flict

London, July 30--1hat that Austro-
Servian conflict if confined to those two
countries. will be short, was the pre-
diction of bankers here yesterday. The
reason for this, they say, is that neither
sof those countries can raise enough
funds at home to continue the war very
long and that it is unlikely either of
them can obtain money from outside
sources.
Paris and London, it was stated, would
be very unlikely to accommodate them,
while Berlin could not do so if it wished.
In the last Balkan crisis Austria Hun
gary had to raise money in New York
at extraordinarily high terms.
An advance in the rate for money is
being predicted The Bank of England
. will thus protect its position, it is
thought. This would effeetually dimin-
ish the power Of other countries to draw
upon it for gold.
A critical financial situation is report
ed in Berlin. Scores of depositors have
been steadily withdrawing their accounts
from the banks since war was pro-
nounced. The banks are paying the de-
positors only 10 per cent in gold and
where an effort to hoard the yellow met
al is seen the depositor is refused any.
Withdrawal of Russian accounts all
over the continent is causing great deal
of apprehension. All such accounts have
been taken from Berlin banks.
