influence upon the muscles, cords. Iiga-
ments and tendons as 1t aims to afford
relief from the strain and pain so often
unnecessarily severe during the period OF
expectancy.
Every woman should mention Mothers

Foreign Cotton Competition
After the War.

The Chicago Journal, while located
in a section of the country not di-
rectly interested in cotton, discusses
phase of the cotton question which
has probably not occurred to maay
cotton planters. In an editorial on
Cotton After the War our Chicago
contemporary says;
Cotton is at low ebb now, but
let the South take heart. American
cotton planters will be freer from for
eign competition after the war than
they have been for a generation.
Ono of the favorite amusements of
all countries with tropical or sub
tropical colonies is subsidized cotton
growing A British association per-
haps took the lead in this work but
Russia, France, Germany, Holland
and even Portugal have had d
share Millions of dollars have been
spent in the effort to make the mann
facturers Of Europe independent of
American cotton" and while the ef-
forts have failed with remarkable
uniformity. they have helped to hold
down prices. The farmer who gets
subsidy can sell cheaper than the far
msr who pays his own way.

left for this expensive amusement ct
the close Of the war. The world must
be clothed. cotton is the cheapest and
most plentiful material with which To
cIotle 1t. and an impoverished society
will refuse to spend its money chasing

OF government subsidies, viii drop out

This is a new idea. but it is north

war does not embrace much. if any
of the cotton growing sections, but
most of the countries now engaged in
war have colonies that do grow the

like numerous other American products

AMBASSADOR At
LONDON HANDED
HIS PASSPORTS
TURKISH MINISTER. WAS GIVEN
OFFICIAL LEAVE FROM GREAT
BRITAIN, SUCH ACT BEING
NOTHING LESS THAN A DEcLA-
RATION OF WAR.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Nov. S.-The Turkish am
bassador to Great Britain TeWfik Pa
saa, was handed his passports today.
War has not yet been formally de-
clared on Turkey, but the withdrawal
from ConstantinopIe of the Anlbassa-
doris of the Triple entente powers is
regarded in London as being equivalent
to a signal for hostiEties which Tur-
key has anticipated by naval raid in
the Black sea. 1t also is reported that
Turkey has sent out land expedition
which penetrated into Egypt and the
evidence accumulates that Turkey in
tends to proclaim a holy war Ample
measures, however, it is asserted have
been taken by Great Britain and Rus
STA against this possibility and II is
evident that the first trouble is OK
pected to arise in Egypt where, 1t is
said, the khedive intends to ask Great
Britain for an explanation Of her atti-
tude towards Turkey
DIVISION OF TURKEY.
Berlin claims that Turkey was forced
to throw in her lot with Germany be-
cause the Porte recognizAi that an en-
tente victory would mean the disrup-
ton of Turkish empire with Constan-
tinopIe, Armenia and Turkestan going
to Russia; Arabia to England and Sy-
ria to France. On the other hand,
in the event of the defeat of the triple
entente nations, Turkey was to be
guaranteed territorially to be given aid
in reconquering the Caucasus and
Egypt and be given, perhaps, some
thing more
The usual charges and denials are
being made as to the responsibility
for the first attack in the Black sea,
but these are issued chiefly for con-
sumption by the neutral countries,
since the inevita biity of the conflict
was recognized by both sides. Tie
principal actors are not greatly con-
cerned over which nation fired the
opening shot.

BROUGHT BACK
NATURAL HEALTH
The Facts About an Inter
esting Case of Serious Fee
male Trouble Benefited
by the Use of Cardui.

Walnut Cove, n. C.-Mrs. E. A.
Rothrock, of this town, says: about
| two years ago was in very bad health
for three or four months.
At this time I had serious female
trouble, which lasted severely for nine
weeks. I got awfulIy weak and could
scarcely go, and my doctor said I
ought to be in bed
My two sisters, who had used Cardui
With good results and who now use il
as a tonic, recommended it highly to
me. saying it is a fine medicine.
/ felt if I lived l must have some
thing to help me. and as other medi-
cines had failed to relieve me, /
thought / would try Cardi, the wom-
ans tonic. At this time | was almost
skin and bones.
I seemed to improve after the use
of the second bottle of Cardui. The
trouble stopped, | suffered less pain,
ard began to get back my strength
and health. / took five more bottles
and got back my natural state Of
health, also my flesh, and could do my
work easily.
This spring I was run down in
health; had over-worl<ed myself I
took nearly three bottles Of Card;Ii as
tonic and it brought me back to my
natural state of health
Last week I put up rs jars OF fruit,
wHich / could not have done before
taking Cardui. | am glad l heard OF
it, and l hope other women viii too.

above, but even If only a mild case we

Inherited Defects
Attributable to Alcohol.

The influence of alcohol as a detri-
which has not readily lent itself 10
convincing experimental proof in the
past. During the last four years,
Professor Stockard of the Cornell Uni
versity Medical School in New York
City has been engaged in study of
the effects Of alcohol in heredity. He
has demonstrated conclusively that the
germ cells of male guina pigs can be
so injured by allowing the individuals
to inhale the fumes of alcohol That
they give rise to defective offspring
although mated with vigorous females
The extension Of these unique IN
vestigations. in which the offspring
from the treated animals which reach
maturity are usually nervous and
shown that the effect of the injury IF
the germ cells is not only exhibited
by the immediate offspring of aIco-
holized animals. but is conveyed
through their descendants for at least
three generations.
There are many instances of matin6s
followed by negative results or early
a bortions stillborn young OF defect; IS.
An instructive illustration was afford
ed in a case in which two of the four
young animals were completely eye
less, the eyeballs. optic nerves, md
chaisma being absent Such defects
result according to Stockard, from
the injury originally inflicted on the
germ cells by the experimental treat
ment. Yet this injury may have been
received by earlier generations only.
Thus the parents of the guina-p pigs
mentioned We're untreated. their four
were also untreated, but
their great GRANDPA were all al
coholized, and their great grandmot'l-
ers were all normal animals. The de-
fective eyes of descendants are due 20
impaired development, not to the Gi-
rect action of alcohol.
Plainly the germ cell is actually
weakened, if not disabled by the al
aohol treatment and all individuals
arising from combinations involving
such germ cell are likely to be be-
ow normal. AS The %ournal of he
American Association says there is
,ood for reflection in these facts.

PENSACOLA IS
IDEAL TOURIST
RESORT TOWN
ALL THAT is NECESSARY TO
MAKE 1T GREATEST IN UNITED
STATES is A LITTLE ADVER-
Using.

Pensacola is the ideal tourist town.
1t lacks but one thing to make it the
greatest tourist resort in the United
States, and that is the proper adver-
Using of it's advantages. The com
mittee recently appointed by the PEN
sacola Chamber of Commerce TO make
an aggressive campaign for tourist
travel is hard at work and Pensacola
will have probably the largest tour
list trade this winter that this city
has ever known.
The committee is already making an
active canvass of the city, and is re-
cetving great encouragement in a fl
nancial way. It Is absolutely neces-
saFy that the facilities that Pensacola
advertisers be brought to the atten-
ton Of prospective tourists through
the medium of judicious advertising,
and in order to make this work effec-
tive funds will be needed at once. The
San Carlos hotel has started off the
list with fifty dollars, Mr..
Hervey, manager has subscribed ten
dollars, and the fifty or more en-
ployes have each subscribed, bringing
the total to one hundred and fifty
dollars, TO head the fund.
The committee COMPRISES Thos. w.
nson, M. L. Bear, r. w. Goodhart,
Geo. H. Hervey, DR.. NJ. E. Quina, J.
Frank Taylor and T. ]. Hanlon, Jr.
A number Of subscription papers

he citiztns will give the movement
heir hearty support.

We Crave Pardon of
The Tampa Times.

The Journal had no idea that its little
p1easantries about rain making" and
''hip-shooting" which were recently IL
reoted at the Tampa Times would be
understood for anything except what
they were-a mere harmless diversion
from the sterner and more serious
sides of life.
But now. comes our contemporary,
labels US as ''carping critic" and
goes after this paper as follows:
We do not comprehend in what way
the Times has incurred the feeling
manifested toward it of late by our
formerly uFbane friend of The Pensa-
cola Journal and demonstrated by the
repeated sneering sIurs and carping
criticisms of our editorial opinions.
The editor of The Journal apparently
lies IN wait for the expressions Of
opinion upon the part of the Times,
and if they are of a positive nature
and a little out of the beaten track of
commonly accepted Idea he proceeds
to exercise upon them his formidable
powers of sarcasm and to laugh them
to scorn with his merciIess ridicule.
As the Times has the habit Of
thinking for itself and does not ac-
quire It's opinions at second hand. and
Is rather fond of expressing those
opinions in al forcibIe English as it
can command, it seems that we are
unfortunate enough to arouse very
frequently our critical contemporary
soothing and modifying powers above
referred to.
We want to assure or friend of tie
Times that he has absolutely mis-
Judged us. The Journal had no intea
ton of being offensive and, il its COM
ments were so construed. it now Graves
pardon and sincerely apologies for
it's unirtentionaI offense.
Far from having any i11-fee1ing to-
ward the Times, we have nothing but
the friendliest feeling for that paper
and we regard its editorial page as one
of the ablest and most interesting IN
the state.
Hereafter when. in the dull grind of
daily existence. we find a little diver
sion necessary we shah direct it at
Uncle Joe Dixon or Old Man West.
They understand us and, besides. ca n
has so much coming to him anyhow
that a few little love-taps now and
then can only help balance the general
score whether deserved at the particu-
lar time or not.
