AT THE GARRIcK.

Some OF the masterpieces destroyed at
Louvain, Belgium. during the present
war, as well as others which are now IN
steel vaults at the Louvre, Paris, are I'M
cluded in The subjects featured by the
company of art models at the Garrick
Theatre this week. who pose within a
large gilt frame, with a splendid colored
background looking for all the world
like beautiful landscape The destroy.
ed subjects shown comprise "Priam at
the Feet Of Achilles which was at Lou
vain. Belgium; "Ihc Hunt of Mclcage." A."
which was in the Hotel deNille, Lou
vain. The conception of the various
subjects shown is perfect and the cor
rect manner in which all of the fine
points are brought out and maintained
by human effort is almost beyond be-
lief IN fact, it is difficult TO believe
that the pictures are animate. In sew
eral instances the participants change
positions merely to demonstrate that
they are alive. It is wonderful exhi-
bition and an artistic classic. such as
will interest any person.

LOOKING For WORK

Everywhere men complain about
work; even boys and girls in school or
business find work tedious and irk-
some, but it isn't the work halfso much
as their own lack of physical strength
that makes it hard.
Rich blood, strong lungs and health
full digestion make work pleasurable
in business, in school or even house
work, and if those who are easily tired
who are not sick, but weak and ner-
vous-would just take Scott's Emul-
sion for one month and let its pure
concentrated food create richer blood
TO pulsate through every artery and
vein-let it builda a structure Of healthy
tissue and give You vigorous strength
you would find work easy and would
hook for more. Insist on SCOTS.

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia h. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
penuine?" care they truthful ? "
"Why do women write such letters ! "
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote il.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters TO the Lydia f. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia Z. Pink
ham s Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
Il has relieved women from some Of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, Inflammation, liberation,
Irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.

: match, but the shortness of the time
md the uncertainty of general CO.
operation on the part of the COM
munity lent an air of uncertainty to
the outcome. But all uncertainty
was speedily dissipated on the I'd of
November. The crowd came and
packed the building and the grounds
round about. Not only did they
come but they brought their best
products with them. There was scant
time to prepare anything special so
what was shown was selected largely
from things already on hand.
Among the live stock there were
some fine hogs, mules and cows and
an especially pretty show of chickens.
Inside the building the farm prod
ucts were too numerous to mention in
detail. We do not believe there is
section in South Carolina that can
surpass some of the things we saw
there, and yet it is hard to say in
what line this fair excelled, for we
must confess the canned products, the
preserves and pickles, the cakes, light
bread, corn bread and biscuits, the
fried chicken and roasted 'possum
held our attention much of the time
There were some interesting relics,
such as spinning wheel, some very
old candle-sticks and candle molds.
The real surprise came when the
fancy work department was visited.
Here was a great collection of work
that was Enthusiastically the result of
much labor and great pains. The re-
mainder of the county will this week
be hard pushed to surpass the work
shown here by these Macedonia ladies.

was had to local talent. Messrs. L.
