''cARDUI: STORY OF A NosTRuM."

the Chattanooga Medicine Company.
These articles are written by 4 DIR.

employ Of the Chattanooga Medicine
Company for some years as their
chemist. Certainly the details ne

business that could be, expected only
from n who had been employed i'll

used to show the evolution of the nos

the Chattanooga Medicine Company's
nostrum will perform the many won

that Cardui can perform miracle
quite as wonderful, perhaps, as the

it can make money" According to
Bicknell. Wine of Cardui contains

amount of black haw. These herbs,

a computation of the cost of MAX

Italian Participation In Balkan Cam
II paisn Is Only at Beginning
of HostiIItIes.

London-The French government
has announced the existence OF a state
OF war between France and Bulgaria,
dating from s a. M, October lie. This
follows the British declaration made
the previous night.
Almost co-incidentally comes sthe
report from Athens that the French
troops In Macedonia are engaged
with 10000 B~ulgarfans.
Already thousands of A~nglo1French
troops, who landed at Saloniki, are
en- route to form a junction with the
Serbians or take up strategic posi-
tons against the Bulgarian advance.
A late dispatch from Malta, the
British naval station In the Mediter.
ranean, predicts that the Entente AL,
lies in the next few days will send
strong new forces to Saloniki for oper-
ations against the the Teutons and
Bulgarians. Hard pressed on the Save.
Danube front by Austro-German:
fighting at various points to check
the Bulgarfans, the Serbians are anx-
iously-awaiting Anglo-French assist
ance, but they are favored by wealth
er conditions and natural defenses of
the country with the result that the
invaders progress has not been pro-
nounced.
Italian participation in the Balkan
campaign apparently is no nearer
than at the beginning of hosti1ities,
but the Italians on the Austrian from
tier have displayed renewed activity
and according to the Italian official
communication "by a bold and we'll
conducted operation took by storm

GAIN TWO CENTS A POUND.

A difference of 2 and frequently 5
cents per pound may be made by fat
tening broilers and fowls before put
ting them on the market. A gain of 25
cents or more may be made by feeding
habitat fowls or chickens for two
weeks. The directions given in Farm
and Home by the poultry department
OF the New York; agricultural college
are as follows:
Conine the birds in a small and
somewhat darkened pen, allowing
about two square feet for a mature
fowl and M square foot for young
chickens. Do not feed for the first "a
hours, then begin feeding rather scant-
lily, increasing the amount gradually
until at the end of two or three days
they are getting all they will clean up
in about 20 minutes, when fed regular
ly three times a day. This should
continue for about two weeks which is
ordinarily as long as the fowl can
stand such heavy feeding, and ct
which time, if the fowls were healthy
and in good range condition, they
should be full and plump along the
keel and have heavy, firm drumstieks
and thighs.

First, 100 pounds corn meal, 100

WOMEN OF THE coNFEDERAcY.
fFlorida Times-union.l

In every city and nearly every towl
and village of the south a shaft OF
bronze or stone points upward as d
token of the memory of the Confeder-
ate soldier. These monuments can
not honor those who liftedtoe higher
plant the worlds record of daring and
fortitude, for no token that we could
give of our appreciation could WORTH
ly typify the exalted patriotism the
matchless heroism, the supreme en-
durance of the men of another genera
ton who attempted the impossible
and so nearly brought it about.
But we unveil in this city today a
monument of another kind "a kind
less frequently seen but expressive of
a pride that in the hearts of all sons
of the South thrills not less than the
memory of the most heroic deeds the
men performed. The monument is to
be the women of the ~Confederacy who
gave as loyal and as necessary a sup
port as the men to the cause that was
to them as a religion.
When the call to arms sounded
throughout the South they hid their
breaking hearts and encouraged those
dearer to them than their own lives
to go to the battle lines from which
they knew that many loved and lost.
The soldier who fell would never re
turn. Every battle increased the list
of widows and orphans and of mothers
in comfortless grief for the boys they
had reared and loved and lost. The
soldier who fell on the battlefield of
succumbed to disease was at rest, but
his sister, his mother, his wife lived
tc suffer, but not to regret.
The women of the South took on
themselves q common motherhood, a
common ~sisterhood for all men who
were, defending their land. They min
istered to the wants of all the soldiers
Of the Confederacy who came WITHIN
their reach. The war entailed on them
hardships as we'll as heartache but they
never complained. They had been I'M
used to toll, but they worked without
ceasing. In many cases their homes
were devastated and their ~sustenance
destroyed but in homespun ana Il.
hunger and in pride they kHJt the
faith that the final result would be
success. But when came the end that
they had not looked for they met it
without humiliation for they knew
that the Southern people had done all
that men could do.
And when the soldiers in rags came
tlamping back from the war they
found the women who had SO sustain
ed them through the contest regretful
OF nothing but failure and sorrowing '
only for the dead. Wealth was gone.
comfort was gone-these had been
sacrificed without repining to the holy
cause. Struggle and sacrifice were
before them-these were met without
complaint. Desolation was around
them. 1t must be made to blossom
and bloom again and the women as
well as the men set about the task.
They accomplished it so quickly
that the world was astonished and fill
ed with an admiration little less than
at their proves in war.
The colossal old generation is NOV
ing off the stage. The majority is
now on the other side. We who are
Bucceeding them nave not had an OPP

THE DOGS o NOSE.
New Orleans States.)

When your faithful old dog pokes
his nose into your hand, eve your
affection can not prevent d shiver.
Why is it? When the body of a dog
is so warm, why should this n S -
be different from the rest of him? The
cd fable tells US hat when Noah tried
to get all the animals. into the ark
some of them were troublesome, anu
he had to get a dog to help him drive
the last to enter the ark. There was
no room left, so he had to stand in the
doorway with his nose outside in the
wei, and it has new been warm since,
Science gives quite another explana-
ton of the matter. The GOODNESS of
a dogs noseL says science. is due TO
the fact that it must be kept moist all
the time in order to sharpen his enc
OF smell. And as the moisture is
cooled by the air, it keeps his nose
cold all the time. In addition to the
%oltactory or smelling nerves inside
a dogs nostrils, the whole black MEM
brane around the nose is very sensi-
tive, and this sensitiveness can only
be retained by moisture. Thus it is
that when-a dogs nose is dry AMI
warm he is ill and needs doctoring.
