A Fine Record

About so years ago, DIR. Mulholland
prescribed certain medicine with such
good effects that he carefully studied
Its action during several years, finally
developing a formula which he pro-
nounced perfect. When the old doc
tor died, his son (also doctor) con-
hnued to send this medicine to people
In all parts of the United States, even
to foreign countries. The only pub
licity ever given this medicine before
has been by one person telling another
of its value, and 1t has been sold con-
stantly for about FIFTY YEARS.
What Is 1t Good For?
Many people from many States tell
us of lasting results in deep seated or
chronic cases of Liver Troubles, Bad
Blood, Stomach Disorders, Rheuma-

CHAPTER VII
Hepsey Goes q Fishing

Mrs. Burke seemed incapable of sit.
ung still, with folded hands, for any
length of time; and when the stress
sf her attention to household work,
and her devotion to neighborly good
deeds relaxed, she turned to knitting
wash rags as sportsman turns to
his gun, or a topper to his cups. She
seemed to find more stimulus fol
thought and more helpful diversion in
the production of one wash rag than
most persons find in trip abroad.
One day, not very long after the
eventful missionary tea, she was sit.
ting in her garden, and knitting more
rapidly than usual, as she said to
Maxwell:
these last few weeks? You've been
lookin' altogether too sober, and yoa
don't eat nothin' to speak of. 1t must
b either liver, conscience or heart"
Secretly she strongly suspected q
cardiac affection, of the romantic var.
isty. She intended to investigate.
Donald laughed as he replied:
Perhaps, it's all three together;
but I'm all right. There's nothing the
matter with me. Every man has his
blue days, you know"
"Yes, but the last month you've had

IMPROVES LOW GRADE COTTON

Bierne Gordon Jr.. formerly of
Huntsville, Ala, at present superin-
tendent of a cotton mill at Utica, N.
Y, has invented an attachment for
cotton cards which is attracting much
attention among manufacturers Of
cotton textiles. Briefly expressed the
new attachment serves to clean cot
ton of the lower grades so as to make
it equal in every respect with the
highest class staple, which naturally
commands a substantially higher
price. The process t is claimed, does
not serve in any measure to mar the
evenness of the staple or to impair
its strength.

LACE AGAIN Is IN FASHION
Need of Helping the Workers OF
France and Belgium Caused
Revival of Mode.

Real lace is again in fashion. The
need of helping the lace workers OF
France and Belgium started this mode.
Women of wealth and position in
France used their influence by spon-
soring in war relief sales of old and
new laces. Grande %couturiers len
their aid by using a great deal of YER
liable lace in their new creations.
As a result many lovely gowns and
blouses are shown made or trimmed
with lace. Among the kinds noted are
Bruges, princess, applique, the Spanish
bobbin laces, thread lace and flet, with
some guipure and valenciennes.
Mounted over filmy foundations or
Innings of flesh or white chiffon or net,
sometimes in several tints and layers,
the effect is about the richest thing
that could be thought Of in woman's
attire.

Religion in France.

There is no state religion in France,
but the adherents of any church or
creed can hold their religious belief
and observe their religious practices.
Under the law promulgated on Deem
Der 8, 1905, the churches were sepa-
rated from the state, the adherents
of all creeds were authorized to form
associations for public worship. and
the state, the departments and the
communes, were relieved from pay
ment of salaries to ~clergymen. For
clergymen of forty-fve years of age
pensions were provided. Buildings
used for public worship were made
over TO associations for public wor-
ship. The association law Of July i,
1901, requires religious communities
to be authorized by the state, and no
monastic association can be authorized
without II special law in each particu-
lar case. Before the passing OF that
law there were 910 recognized associa'
tons, and 753 not recognized. After
the passing of the law, Of the 753 not
recognized, 800 dissolved themselves
and AS asked for authorization which
was refused by the chambers. or par

CUT OUT CROOKED STICKS
Use of Dead Wood for Fuel is Also
Applied to S~coundreis and
the War.

Forestry experts in New York, a
state which has given much conserv-
ing attention to its wealth In trees,
urge farmers TO help the country meet
the high cost of fuel by making more
use of the dead and dying timber In
their wood lots. They are advised TO
burn In their stoves and CRATES the
fallen logs still sound enough to be
converted into fire wood and to cut
down and utilize crooked trees obvi-
ously f~oredoomed to worthlessness us
timber, no matter how long they may
be allowed TO stand.
This is good advice, and there is a
human moral in the crooked stick part
of it, says an exchange. The same
stress of war times, which led to the
appeal issued TO New York farmers
In sitting out crooked men. Some ras-
calls will profit by war conditions, but
in the broad view of the nations af-
fairs the sound and straight will come
to the front. The country can't take
chances with scoundrels. 1t must cut
crooked sticks out Of the life-and'
death work of the war, in places OF
authority.
