Give Those Worm Nerves a Rest

Housewives who are often all
unstrung" are apt to think it due
entirely to family cares.
But nervous troubles often come
from kidney weakness, and then
the best help for It is to help the
kidneys.
When the kidneys are slowed up
from a cold, or some unseen cause,
their work Of filtering the blood is
hindered. Poisonous uric acid,
which the kidneys should throw
off, clogs the blood, and the nerves
are constantly irritated.
Uric acid poisoning causes ner-
vousness, blues" crossness, wor-
ry, headaches, dizzy spells, tired
ness, rheumatic pains, and indiges-
ton, and, IL allowed to run on
heart disease, dropsy, gravel, and

TODAY'S BEAUTY
SUGGESTIONS

Face powder simply covers up an
unattractive complexion and leaves
no lasting benefits. Those who
have tried a simple spurmax face
lotion find it much better, as it re-
moves skin discolorations, such as
freckles and tan, and makes the skin
smooth, white and velvety. This
lotion is made by dissolving four
ounces Of spurmax in one-half pint
hot water, then adding two tea
spoonfuls glycerin. This complexion
beautifier does not rub off or show
like powder, and gives Il more re-
fined appearance. 1t removes both
shininess and sallowness, rapidly
giving the skin a permanent healthy,
youthful appearance.
An especially fine shampoo for
this weather can be had at trifling
expense by dissolving teaspoonful
of canthrox in a cup Of hot water.
Pour slowly on scalp and massage
briskly. This creates soothing,
cooling lather that dissolves and re-
moves all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt. Rinsing leaves the scalp spot
lessly clean, soft and plant, while
the hair takes on a glossy richness
of natural color, also a fluffiness
which makes it seem very much
heavier than it is. After a canthrox
shampoo arranging the hair is a
pleasure.

 He will learn that there are two radi- cally different views entertained by men of finance whose opinions are worth needing. but that majority confess their inability to make any forecast. As a result of inquiries put yesterday it was learned that some of the authorities in large banking institutions are persuaded that immediately after the close of the war. the United States will enter upon a period of business prosperity the mag nitude of which will stagger the imag- jnation.

 Market SpeculatiOns

Montgomery. March s-(Special. low tive Investigating committee today held the shortest session since it began it's labors here more than week ago. The testimony was, for the most part, feature less.
 James II. Nunnelee of Tuscaloosa, Tor mer recording secretary in the executive offices, was questioned concerning Gov er-lor ONears reported speculatons in the cotton market. Mr. Nunnelee re- called that on one occasion the governor was called upon to put up a margin oi s10oO He said this money was raised but did not recall any other instance where the governor had to put up mar. gins

 Wade Testifies

He said he had never been satisfied with the way he was checked Into office, but expressed the belief that all the fertilizer tags he receipted for were in the office.
 MT. Wade said there appeared to ba some discrepancies in the pure food de- partment. He suggested that certain changes might be made in his department which would result in saving to the state.

cotton planters. With the great re- sources which the federal reserve sys- tenn makes possible for supplying credit and with the. expansion of these re- sources AS the federal reserve board at Washington is now disposed to do, we will be in position to finance the world. The demands which are to be made upon us will inevitably reach every department of industry in the United States. Very likely before summer of this year is past we shall hear little complaint of lack of employment.
 The recent tendencies in the securities market seem to justify this view. There is vague belief, reflected somewhat in the appreciation in the quotations of securities, that business conditions in the United States are on the mend, meaning by that the kinds of business which have not been directly benefited by the de- mands for commodities which have been sent here by belligerent and neutral na- tions.
 The Other Views

THEY'RE THE sWIFTEsT DOGS
Greyhounds, 1t Has Been Proved, Can
Run as Fast as Carrier
Pigeons Fly.

Comparatively few people realize Of
what remarkable speed dogs are
capable. The wolf can run between
fifty and sixty miles in one night, and
the Arctic fox can do quite as we'll, if
not better Nansen met one Of these
foxes on the ice at a point more than
seventy miles northwest of the Sanni-
kow territory, which is 4SO miles
from the Asiatic coast. Eskimo and
Siberian dogs travel As miles on the
ice in five hours, and there Is one case
on record in which team of Eskimo
dogs travelled six and one-half miles in
% minutes.
the rate of eighteen to nineteen miles
an hour, and they can maintain this
speed for at least two hours. Fox
hounds are extraordinarily swift. as is
proved by the fact that dog of this
breed once tbeat a thoroughbred horse,
covering four miles in six and one-half
minutes. Greyhounds are the swiftest
of all four-footed creatures, and their
speed may be regarded as equal to that
of carrier pigeons. English grey
hounds which are carefully selected
and which are used for coursing are
able to cover at full gallop space be-
tween eighteen and twenty-three yards
every second. 1t is said that hare
at its greatest speed never goes faster
than at the rate Of eighteen yards a

fully prove the right of the greyhound
to rank as the swiftest Of the quad

DRIED FRUITS IN DESSERTS
Properly Used, 1t May Be Made to
Serve to as Good Purpose
as the Fresh.

Dried fruit is quite as nice as fresh.
but it has been overworked in the al
legged interest of economy. 1t will
make a dessert second to none, ii
properly used.
The covered enameled ware casse-
role is the proper cooking utensil for
dried fruit. Let it soak over night.
and cook very slowly, and it will re-
gain it's shape and also its finest fla
vor. In addition it should have some
sort of accompanying flavor. Prunes
soaked in just enough wine to cover
them and then cooked in this way
taste like something costly. Apricots
cooked with raisins are good. So are
dried apples cooked in the good, old
fashioned way, in cider. A mixture
of two or three kinds of dried fruit, all
cooked together, is good. Dried peaches
add a little vanilla to the strip when
they are done. Dried cherries are not
used here to any extent, but in Eng
land, where the cherry is an old and
famous fruit, they are used with cur
rants In plum cake, and very nice they
are 1t is perfectly practicable to use
any sort of dried fruit, cooked slowly
in this way, to add flavor to bread pud-
dings or steamed buildings. The fruit
can be either mixed with the bread
pudding or put in the dish with the
bread on top, or in layers; but when
it is used the bread should not be
soaked in milk; the fruit juice will
make enough moisture, and the bread
should merely be soaked enough in
water to make it soft, and cooked
with the fruit, covered.

origin of BIotting Paper.

Blotting paper was discovered pure.
ly by accident. Some ordinary paper
was being made one day at mill In
Berkshire when a careless workman
forgot to put in the sizing material.
1t may be imagined what angry scenes
would take place in that mill, as the
whole of the paper was regarded as
being quite useless. The proprietor
of the mill desired to write a note
shortly afterwards, and he took a
piece of the wastepaper, thinking 1t
was good enough for that purpose.
To his intense annoyance the ink
spread all over the paper. All of a
sudden there flashed over his mind
the thought that this paper would do
instead of sand for drying Ink, and he
at once advertised his wastepaper as
plotting" There was such big de-
mand that the mill ceased to make
ordinary paper, and was soon occu-
pied in making plotting only, the use
of which spread to all countries.

EIx Poison.

House flies are more than null
sances; they convey disease and filth
wherever they go. So, If there are
no screens in the house, try these sim
pie methods for getting rid of them:
In the bedroom put sponge in a sau-
Ger and saturate it with oil Of laven-
der If this is lung two or three feet
above the. table one may eat in peace
throughout the meal Pots Of rose
geranium, or the branches bruised and
hung up, are also said to be good for
flies. A honey pot of death and de-
struction to them may be made with
two ounces of ground black pepper,
four ounces of white sugar and half
a pint of sweet milk. Cook the things
together for a minute or SO, and then
fill small plates with the mixtures,
keeping edibles closely covered.
Sweep up the dead flies twice a day
and burn them.
