compelling necessity for cotton in
structions will be given before long
to reserve a certain amount of room
for the staple. That a move has al
ready been made along these lines
is indicated by a report received to-
wards the end of the week that the
British government has limited the
rate on cotton from the gulf to Liver
pool to 80 per hundred pounds against
the rate of SO which now prevails,
forfeiture of ship being the penalty
for charging more The statistical
situation is still strong one: the
total worlds visible supply is a little
over 100000 bales compared with
5.936,937 bales in 1914; 6,1S6,OOO
in 1913 and 6,i12,000 in 1912. Total
European stocks are now 1,613,OOO
bales against 100000 a year ago. p
O7S. 900 in 1913 and 2,550,O00 in 1872.
Little attention is being paid to the
excellent trade conditions or the real
merits of the statistical position. Both
these factors. however, are pointing
rather strongly to a heavy reduction
in the supply of cotton, which, IN
time. ought to be reflected in con-
siderably higher price level,

Healthy Old Age
Brings Happiness
Simple Remedy Promotes
Health by Overcoming Ten
dency to Constipation.

Advancing years impair the action
of the vital organs. Old age should be
the period of greatest happiness, but
good health is necessary. Constipation
should not be tolerated-it is often the
direct cause of i'll health.
Headache, belching, biliousness,
bloat, drowsiness after eating and 9th
er symptoms of constipation can be
readily relieved by the use of simple
laxative compound sold in drug stores
under the name of DR.. Caldwell's Syr-
up Pepsin. Mr.. j. H. Bristol, 1412
Geddes Ave, Ann Arbor, Mich, who
is SO years old, say "Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is the best remedy
ever used for constipation and | al
have a bottle of it in the house to use
when I feel the need of it; it never
disappoints"
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is a
mild laxative preparation, positive in
its effect, acting easily and naturally
without gripping or other pain or dis
comfort For over a quarter of CEN
tury it has been the standard house

Varying Degrees of Fear.

Fear is the only and also the great
est factor in making medical progress.
The fear of shock following surgical
operations has caused methods to be
discovered which will eliminate or de-
crease shocks. The woman who fears
to trust herself in the hands of an un-
known surgeon or one with dubious
reputation has a right sense of fear.
On the other hand, one who will not.
under the best circumstances, submit
to a necessary operation is possessed

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by a constitu-
tional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result. Unless the inflam-
nation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by ca
tarrh, which is an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure acts through the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Cure. Circulars free. All Drug.

To AUoid DandruH

You do not want a slow treatment

germ is killing the hair roots. Delay
means-no hair.
Get, at any drug store, bottle of
zemo for 25c or $1.00 for extra large
size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. 1t kills the dandruff germ,
nourishes the hair roots and Immediately
stops itching scalp. 1t is sure and safe
is not greasy, is easy TO use and will not
stain. Soaps and shampoos are harm
full, as they contain alkali. The best

also inexpensive.

PREVENTION OF FIRES
Some Simple Rules Worth Retaining
In Memory,


One of the first rules for fire pre-
vention in the home is DO not allow
children to play with matches" You
| should organize your home on the
same plan as that of factory. For
instance, the man of the house
should have charge of the power and
maintenance department, and occas.
ionally should inspect his home from
! the cellar to the garret, with the
idea of fire prevention in mind.
Don't throw ashes from cigars, Gig
arettes and pipes down the air shafts
or registers. No one should throw
burned or burning matches and to-
bacco on the floor.
One can easily start n fire when
trying to find something in a dark
closet, bedroom or cellar, using
matches or candles to light the way.
How many times have we seen one
use naphtha, benzine or Kerosene in
stoves and furnaces in an effort to
light or quicken fires? An explosion
may result in death
Don't turn the oven burner of your
gas stove too low. II might 90 out
and the escaping gas cause an eX-
ploson when the lighted burner above
ignites it.
It is dangerous to use gasoline or
benzne to clean clothing near an
open flame, light or fire.
DO not fiji lamps with oil while the
lamp is lighted, or when within ff
teen feet of a lighted fire.
Hot ashes against boards, In bar
rels, etc, may easily start fire.
Don't accumulate trash in cellars
or any other place
Use safety matches in the house
they are more economical.
Keep combustibles, such as oils,
paints, grease or fats, etc, outside
in a metal box or can if possible.
Clean the chimney flue at least
once a year.
Keep neckties, lace curtains, etc,
away from gas jets.
One pint of gasoline, naphtha or
benzine makes 200 feet of explosive
vapor
Don't look for a gas leak with a
lighted candle or match. You might
suddenly find ito your sorrow.
Locate the nearest fire alarm box
to your home. If you have a tele-
phone ask central for fire headquar-
ters, and give tnnn the exact address,
and location Of the ire.
Investigate yoar home now a
stitch in time saves niue

How Fear Affects the Heart.

Fear does not mean cowardice or
timidity; it means intelligence. 1t is
not emotion in the strict sense of this
term. Strong emotions paralyze fear,
frequently the muscles, and in extreme
cases the heart. In this latter condi.
ton we say the person died from
fright"

INFLAMMABLE BOMBS.
Substances Used In the Making of

The incendiary bomb used by the
Zeppelin aircraft, as rule, is conical

a metal handle at the apex. The base
is fiat cup. into which pierced metal
funnel Is fitted, having the ignition de-

The funnel is generally filled with
thermit. The latter, upon ignition, gen
crates intense heat and by the time of

molten metal, having the extraordi-

these derelict islands, whose very ex-
istence still seems at the grudging mer-
cy of the sea.
Buccaneering, wrecking and blockade
running-no more tedious employ than
these masculine professions occupied
the Bahamians for generations, and so
long as there were merchantmen to be
boarded or scuttled, rich cargoes to be
harvested from the white fanged reefs
or cotton to be run to Wilmington at a

A LITERARY RIDDLE.
Why Does Woman Write Differently
From a Man?


Why is it that you can always tell a
story written by man from one writ

to rather severe test within the last
month, with results that were star

Ten men and women, all of whom do
considerable novel reading, had had
dinner together. One of the men asked
the question / put at the top of these
paragraphs. He was in his own home
and went to some trouble TO prove that
the sex of authors is an easy thing to
determine.
Giving to each of the nine others a
pencil and piece of paper, the host pro-
ceeded to read extracts from twenty
different books and magazines, select
ing parts in which proper names would
not identify the story. AS he read each
person wrote down his guess as to
whether the author was a man or a
woman.

nine persons to the twenty tests all but

Gaaadia Giaadah.

There was quaint old man in Man
chester, England, who for many years
went by the unique name of Gagadig
Gigadab. His original name was John
Smith, and for many years he brooded
over the possibilities of mistaken iden-
tity involved in 1t. The name figured
frequently In criminal records, and be
became abnormally apprehensiye lest
he might be confused with some of the
bad John Smiths. At last what he
feared so much actually happened.
One morning the papers reported the
arrest Of an accountant in bank for
embezzlement, and through some blum
der of the reporter the identity of the
embezzler was confused with the sub
ject of this article, who was also

determined to assume name like unto
no other ever borne by mortal man.
And In Gagadig Gigadab most people
will agree that he succeeded in so
doing.
