A CONFESSION
Hopes Her Statement, Made Public,
 will Help Other Women.

Hines, Ala.-"I must confess", says Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, ''that Cardui, the wornan'S tonic, has done me great deal of good.
 Before commenced using Cardui, would spit up everything ate. had a tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was irregular could hardly drag around, and would have severe headaches con- tinuously.
 Since taking Cardui, l have entirely quit splitting up what l eat. Everything seems to digest all right, and l have gained 10 pounds in weight"
 If you are victim of any of the numer- ous ills so common to your sex, it is wrong to suffer.
 For half century, Cardui has been re- leving just such ills, as is proven by the thousands of letters, similar 10 the above, which pour into our office, year by year.
 Cardui is successful because itis com- posed of ingredients which act specifically on the womanly constitution, and helps build the weakened organs back 10 health and strength.
 Cardui has helped others, and will help you, too. Get bottle today. You won't regret it. Your druggist sells it.

WHO SHALL DECIDE?

"No class is better acquainted with the dread social effects of alcohol ism than the medical profession,' says the Medical Times, "and we are in- terested in the sociological phases of the subject hardly less than in the scientific. Therefore, we are interest ed in the efforts of the prohibitionists to prohibit. Perhaps our alcoholics might well be left to destroy them selves as a matter of personal free dom and of riddance to the commu- nifty, were it not for the social havoc that flows from the vice This makes it a concern of government. It is not those who profit commercially from the sale of the poison that should
 decide the issue, but those whose lives and happiness are in jeopardy

LIGHTENs FARMERs' TAXES.

(By PROF JOHN A. NICHOLs.)
 The suppression of the liquor traffic would be of great benefit to the farm CTS, who are now taxed heavily to pay their part of the enormous expense of taking care of the great army of orphans and paupers, drunkards, and criminals produced by this destructive and degrading traffic. The liquor traf- fic now destroys the buying capacity of the men who put their money into whisky and beer. For every $1O0 spent for liquor, the farmer now re- ceives $5.50. If the money was spent for other commodities the farmers share would be very largely increased.

BERNARD SHAW ON CHILDREN

The most excusable parents are those who try to correct their own faults in their offsprings.
 The parent who says to his child, Il am one of the successes of the Al mighty; therefore initiate me in every particular or I will have the skin off your back" Ga quite common attitude) is much more absurd figure than the man who, with pipe in his mouth thrashes his boy for smoking.
 If you must hold yourself up to your children as an object lesson (which IS not at all necessary, hold yourself up as warning, not as an example.
 Every child has a right to its own bent. It has right to be a Plymouth brother though it's parents be convinc- ed atheists.
 It has a right to dislike it's mother or father or sister or brother or uncle or aunt if they are antipathetic to it.
 It has right to privacy as to its own doings and it's own affairs, as much as if it were its own father.
 The child has no defense in any case except the kindness and conscience of the adult, and the adult had better not forget this, for it involves a heavy re- sponsibility.
 There is, on the whole, nothing on earth intended for innocent people so horrible as a school
 It is in some respects more cruel than a prison.
 In prison for instance, you are not forced to read books written by the warders and the governors (who, of course would not be warders and gov ernors if they could write readable books, and beaten or otherwise tor mented if you cannot remember their utterly unmemorable contents.
 A perpetual holiday is good work ing definition of hell.

NO upHEAvAL IN BUSINESS.

"If the liquor traffic were abolished tomorrow" said Rev. Dr. Boynton of Chicago in a sermon on Liquor Logic the other industries of the country, employing 6O20,0OO people, would have to absorb only 6,430 per- sons who are now engaged in the manufacture of distilled liquors and only 54,579 who are now engaged in the manufacture of fermented liquors. This change in the business world would be less of shock to the busi- ness of the United States than was the inauguration of the parcel post or the changes that are usually required by every revision of the tariff"

SAVE THE BOYS.

A number of loafers were sitting outside a village store one evening, when a farmer drove up and flashed a statewide prohibition petition on them. explained what it meant, and asked if any of them wanted to sign it. The farmer knew the men were old time booZers, but he did not propose to pass them by The oldest man in the bunch promptly said
 T am down and out. Booze put me to the bad. I am too old to ever get on my feet and make a man of myself. l am going to sign that dry petition, and if I live I will vote dry, for l do not want any one of those little boys (pointing to a group of little fellows playing near by) to become what am now. l want to do what can to save the boys."

THE ART OF BEING AGREEABLE
 Mrs. J. H. Russ

The man had never met Alice, so took him to call upon her.
 'I am so glad to see you both and it is so good of you to come," she said, as she shook hands with us.
 The call was pleasant for the man who detests calling came away reluc- tantly.
 While going home he said:
 "How do you suppose she does it? "Does what?"
 "How do you suppose she manages to make herself so extremely at tractive without being in the least beautiful ?"
 It's her secret and I must find it out" l said
 So the next day I went to see Alice She saw me coming and met me at the door.
 How perfectly lovely to have you again." she cried and held out her hand to me.

 "Take this chair; would you wish 9 fan? Now what is the question ?'

And after 1 knew her better I told her how cheap, how absolutely worthless she made me feel She laid her hand on my shoulder and told me, no matter what I could or could not do 1 had it in me to be agreeable She smiled and said:
 ''I wonder if that is what you mean by the secret?"
 "Yes," l said; thank you" I tried to remember one hard or ungracious word from her lips or even an unkind look or frown upon her face, but 1 could not.
 Her attractiveness was in being agreeable.

 IEEA& S. Conducted by the National Woman's
 Christian Temperance Union)
DOCTORS HAVE NEW LIGHT.

A common argument of the liquor interests may be put in the form of a syllogism thus:
 Major premise: The demand for an occasional stimulant is instinctive in human nature. Minor premise Alco- hol is stimulant. Conclusion: Alec holic drinks supply natural demand.
 Granting the first premise to be sound-which we do not grant-the second premise is glaringly untrue. Latest findings of medical science have proved that alcohol is not a stim- ulant as once believed, but a depres- sant. There is expert testimony in abundance to this effect. We quote here from w. A. Chapple, M. D., M. R. c. S., Ph. D., and member of parlia- ment:
 "We know that alcohol stimulates nothing except disease and the suscep- tibility to it. We know one of the first nerve centers to fall under its paralyzing influence is the vaso-motor center in the brain. What happens is all you see and a lot you don't see. The face fiuSheS because the vessels dilate and engorge. But you only see it in the face because these vessels are so delicate everywhere-in the brain, the liver, the kidneys, all the vit0 organs, which suffer in conse- quence. And the heart beats faster It beats faster because it's controlling mechanism has been paralyzed. It has not been stimulated any more than the horse has been stimulated by cutting its reins. We see, therefore, how, till quite recently, doctors have been deceived. Wine is a mocker! But 1t need mock no longer. Apply the teaching of experience, of science and of the Bible-all attest that in the end it 'biteth like serpent and stingeth like an adder"

Parcel Post May Help to Reduce the
 Cost of Living.

NOSI OI LIVlnS.
 In the current issue of theFarm and Preside Postmaster General Burles- on writes an exceedingly interesting article about the parcel post. He pre- sents many practical suggestions about it and tells a number of inter- esting stories Illustrating his points, In the following extract he suggests that the parcel post may reduce the cost of living:
 "The era of war prices inaugurated because of the conflict in Europe has greatly increased interest in every de- vice that gives promise of counteract- ing the tendency to increased cost of living; and among these agencies we are very sure that none will do so much for the people--for producer and consumer alike-as the facilities now offered by the parcel post. It is only necessary to understand them, to use them intelligently, and to divide the advantage between producer and con sumer."

Children for This Movie Plentiful

Children for This Movie Plentiful
 Director Richard Stanton of the Ince companies was surprised to learn during the production of "A Po- litical Feud," a forthcoming lnce re- lease, what a large amount of natu- ral talent abounds in youngsters in and about Santa Monica, Cal, where the knoxville studios are located In the early part of the action of the story children play the important roles, and Mir. Stanton was obliged to recruit to the ranks of the players a number of boys and girls ranging in age from eight to fourteen years. He had no trouble in finding the iuve- niles. A multitude responded to the call. Stanton feared he would have trouble in getting the chosen ones to do as he commanded before the cam era. He was mistaken. The youth full novices took to the task like ducks to water and succeeded in putting over the scenes with great success.

A CONTINUAL MIRACLE.

It Is no harder for some to believe in nope In death than it is to believe in love in life - T.-
 Of the two the latter is the greater
 mystery.
 When one looks at nature, with her steam engine forces, huge, dull, inn measurable" as Carlyle says, it all seems so pitiless.
 Nature, red in tooth and claw" ap- parently has but one end in view, to read one limb from limb at last W hen one looks at the world of men, with it's grinding mills of business, It's Wnlripools of politics, its mercilcss ambitions, its iron laws of economies
 It's pltlless corporations and mindless state, he wonders how love-, so tiinid and yielding, can live day II he did not know loveIs tough aI- m1ghtlness, he might. join in Onnar't cry:
 70 Thou who man of baser earth didst make,
 For all the sin wherewith the face | of man
 Is blackened. mans forgiveness give | and take!"
 l Intellectually considered, love is z War, a pilgrim and a stranger, a low | gloWlng or natures precreating force. l It IS therefore that only simple anC l believing hearts can understand love l It is a continual miracle. The learned and prudent, the cleve,
 and powerful cannot guess 1t.

Washington, Oct. 1s.-Urgfng that business depression and the war III Europe had caused a shrinkage Of over $TS, ,0G0, 900 in their annual net rev en,es. representatives of thirty .eigna M eastern railroads operating over Ss. .o0u miles of transportation lines, appeared before the Interstate Commerce com mission today asking that they De granted at least a five per cent. irl- crease in freight rates.
 Daniel B. Willard, presloent oI ne sne Baltimore and Ohio railroad and also head of the conference of the prea- dents of the lines involved. was the principal witness. He was supporteo by mass of statistics presented oy Vice President Shiver. of the same me acting for all the roads. Further eT1- ;dence will be submitted tomorrow.
 ., opposition- by shippers.
 In opposition to the plea of the car riers, Clifford Thorne appeared TOT me public service corporations of several middle western and inter-nolntain states. and also for shippers orSani- . zatfona in the region affected. MT. ,Thorne declared his purpose and the desire of the shippers was that the pubIic's side of the question should be fully brought out. He did not expect to call many witnesses.
 Louis Brandeis, counsel for the con- mission. vigorously assailed MT. WM- 1drda position III cross SAdultIIdloii, particularly calling attention to the fact that the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road had adhered this year to it's pol icy of declaring six per cent. dividends despite an annual deficit of more than s3,000, ,000 in it's net revenues. The af. fairs of this system were the only ones given detailed attention today as officers of the other lines were not present. MT. Brandeis implied in his uuestions, however, that a similar pol icy had been followed by all the lines
 MT. Willard said the dividend had been maintained at six per cent. this wear at his recommendation. He de ,clared he believed it would be justified by the fact that the road had $32,eo0,- 900 in surplus. .
 T am not prepared to say, however the witness added, what may rec. ommend in future; in view of present conditions"
 Forced to Pay High Intersst.
 He had recommended the continu- ance of the six per cent dividend. he said, because it was necessary to main tain the credit of the line. A recen- note issue of 35,000,000 by the Bal, timore and Ohio was marketed at par bearing 1-2 per cent. interest and { commission of one-half of one pc qcnt.. which was paid, making the tota ,GNEt to the company five per cent

This issue must be met in June next wear, MT. Willard said. and tss pres ent outlook was that money could not be obtained then at less than or concerns had been forced to pay much higher rates than five per cent
 Brandeis. Takes Exceptions.
 MT. Brandeis took exception to the statements of the Baltimore and Ohio surplus. He insisted that S22,00o,0 900 of this was represented in the line investment in securities or the Cln- ctnnati. Hamilton and Dayton railroad now in the hands of a. receiver. Mr. Willard admitted this, but declared the purchase of that road was not at issue in the present hearing.
 Whatever our necessities," he said,
 they are not due to the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton.
 "Yet you have $s5, 1000, 900 in notes to pay next year," said MT. Brandeis and you have advanced $22,o00,O0O to the Cit cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton" Reverting to the possibility that 1n-
 terest rates would be greatly advanced when these notes fell due, MT. Bran l deis asked:
 | sIf it be true that you may have ! to pay to per cent, isn't that a risk thet should be taken by the share holders through reduction of d1vl . I derids rather than be met by an ad- ance in rates? You defend here today a reduction of practically every rail- road expense except dividends" l Safety First System.
 E s.Nothing we do in the way of de- creasing expenses of maintenance and l equipment is permitted to encroach on .I safety of operations" MT. Willard re- piled.
 l Mir. Brandeis declared the state ment of the. railroads had disclosed so far nothing originating since the com : missions recent ruling, rejecting tle eastern lines previous plea for a five l per cent. advance in rates. In re- opening the case the commission spe- I cifically limited it to matters arising I since that time. MT. Brandejy said fthat decision had forecasted fahins T off in revenue of $75,000,0o0 for She ,I period embraced and the companies statement of $7e.o00,000 shrinkage only sserved to confirm that estimate.
 "The commission also forecast IF = I proVement in business conditions,
 said MT. Willard, whereas thero act
 ually has been retrogression."
 Expenditures on pnaintenanee o ysay land equipment, Mf. Willard said. has,
 been greatly reduced becfass of she financial outlook. He adde that thou
