 For the last four years have lived almost entirely on milk and bread, and finally that got so 1t went against me- l dared not eat meat nor vegetables of any kind. for if I did I would suffer for hours afterwards
 T had chronic dyspepsia. so was told and nothing prescribed for me brought any relief. I rarely ever went to the table because even the sight or food or to smell it cooking would nauseate me. l had a bad taste In my mouth and noth- ing l ate tasted right. l had always been strong and healthy and a woman who looked after her own household duties, but since having this trouble got so weak I could not do my house work and had to have help.

CARRANzAASKS |FPEACE APPEAL
 WAS OFFICIAL
Wants to Know If Pan- Americans Were Acting in Official or Pri-
 vate Capacities

Washington, August 2s.-Consul Silli- man at Vera Cruz cabled the state de- partment today communication from Jesus Ancuna, General Carranza's for eign minister asking that he inquire whether the Pan-American diplomats act ed in their official or private capacities in addressing their recent appeal to Mex ican leaders for a peace conference. This was the first word from Carranza concerning the Pan-American appeal, and 1t was accepted as an indication that the formal reply probably would not be forth coming for another week.
 It was intimated in official circles that the only response to Ancuna's question would be message to Silliman directing his attention to the fact that all the conferees attached their full titles to their signatures. This, it was pointed out. left no room for doubt that the conferees act ed officially.
 Officials were rather at a loss to ex- plain the object of the Carranza minis ters query. In some quarters it was sug- gested that Carranza probably desired to delay his final response. which is expect ed to be an appeal for recognition pend. ing the establishment of his government in Mexico City and the outcome of Gen. eral Obregon's campaign against Villa in the north.
 Secretary Lansing discussed the Mex ican situation today with the Argentin amba ssador. He also talked with Dr. Juan Ortego, Guatemalan minister to Mexico, who was ordered from the coun- try by Carranza, and with M. Mendez, Guatemalan minister to the United States. Later in the day Mexico was the subjec. of a conference between the secretary and Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British am- bassador.
 The British ambassador is said to have been greatly interested in the peace plans. Great Britain believes 1t will be useless to recognize any de jure government in Mexico until the American countries have done so-

When the Alabama Federation of Womans clubs give scholarship and the girl is unable to pay back the money loaned her by the federation, she is sent by the federation to work cut this sum in some rural district. It was after hearing the awful housing conditions these girls had to contend with that the federation began to ad- yocate "teacherages"
 What Is "teacherage," and in what way can it benefit the rural teachero Teacherages are houses for teachers employed in rural schools, permanent dwellings for the teacher so that she may be near the school and be com fortably housed. Many teachers become perfect birds of passage because they are forced to board around" These homes make the teachers a permanent part of the community and will un- doubtedly secure for the district better teachers and more lasting results
 At these homes the superintendent Is the home maker and the teachers either live on a cooperative basis or, they pay small fee in the shape of board. From such center In close proximity to the school can emanate the civic life of the whole district.

 tall. gaunt negro in passing by the gaily bedecked show window was attracted by the marvellous coloring of the garments priced at 12 bones. He sazed at them with a longing express 4,ion on his gamboge tinted complexion and spelled out the price card time and lime again before 1t dawned on him that the shirts were priced at 12 ko- pecks each garment.
 About this time Colman Blach saun- tered to the store door to get a "breather" and, approaching him, the negro said:
 "Cuse me boss, but An wants toe ax yo' if dem yere shirts costs twef dollahs fer jest one?"
 The price is plainly marked on the card and you couldn't buy one for $11.99." answered Colman. Do you want to make a purchase?"
 Not eat An knows on at dis time. To see, boss, dere Is severl reasons why An ain't gwine ter buy one of dem shirts an de fust Is An ain't got no tWel 0OlidnS, an
 That's enough; you needn't men tion the other reasons, but if you want | cheaper shirt we have some on sale that cost us $1.50 that you can have for 69 cents
 "Dey is pow'ful cheap at dat price; but 'cuse me, boss, how cum yo' kin sell shirts for 69 cents what yo' done paid CT dollah an CT half fer? Whar's yo' profit?"
 Ordinarily I would tell you that that Is none of your business. but don't mind telling you that, in this in- stance we make money because. we sell so many. How many do you want ?'
 "Ah ain't gwine ter buy none at dis time, boss. cause An sho'ly is stuck on dat twer dollah shirt, an An hopes toe buy one some day, An sho' does. An boss, if evah An gifts mahself in- toe one, An ain't nevah gwine ter stuff 1t into nah brooches. Nossah."
