These Qualities Count in
Every Day Service

Of course, there is pride in possession of
car qualities you know are unexcelled.
And this performance mastery gives
innumerable advantages. For instance,
you travel faster within the speed limits.
That is because you are away quicker.
You pickup faster. You have power
that levels hills with case. You have smooth
ness that makes the long journey comfort
able and free of fatigue.
But you will have far more occasions to
admire Hudson's superb riding ease, its
good looks,and It's trustworthy dependability,
than its more spectacular qualities of great
speed and power

When bilious, suffering with indi-

necessarily mean that your liver is
the only part of your anatomy that

may be caused by either the kidneys

only treat your liver, you are only
getting at one-third of your trouble.
The Liver, Kidneys and Blood are
so closely allied that when one gets
out of order the others fall in line.
Therefore, the only way to put the
entire system back tc its normal heal

SPARKS CIRCUS MENAGERIE
A VERITABLE KINDERGARTEN

There is one little girl in the world
who scorns the costliest of dolls and
all other playthings dear to the heart
of the average child-even the larg-
est of teddy bears holds no special
charm for this little Miss, and at that
she is Just as human as any little
girl on earth.
There's a reason. She is child of
the circus-a child worshipped by
every member of the big Sparks Cir
Gus family. Polly Vanderbilt is the
name of this dainty little lady and
the reason that the average plaything
means nothing in her young hte Is
because at the present time the
Sparks Menagerie presents somewhat
of a kindergarten appearance-h
fact babies are here, there and every
where, so you see little Polly has her
pick of real live babies to play with
even though some of them are ratner
ungainly in appearance.
Take for instance the baby camel
born to Soudan recently in London
Ont, or Beloit, the baby kangaroo
who by the way bears the distinction
of being the first born in the United
States. Next came litter of kittens
or rather cubs to Mary, real Aslat'
ic lioness and not to be outdone by
the other members of the animal col
ony of the Sparks Menagerie, Java
a monkey belonging to the tribe OF
that name gave birth to four healthy
youngsters during the recent visit Of
the circus to Chicago. AS it has been
a lifetime custom of the circus to
name it's babies after the various cit
les in which they are born, Louis
Reed, the Menagerie Superintendent
was at his wits end in selecting suit
able names for this happy family un'
til someone suggested the names OF
the suburban towns adjacent to Chi
cago and the youngsters were chris

NOT ENOUGH STAMPS

Buenos Aires, Sept. 21.-Failure
of the majority Of North American
manufacturing and exporting con-
Germs to place sufficient postage on
the letters they send to Argentina is
one of the details which is tending
to cause an unfavorable opinion
here of American business methods,
saws the bulletin of the United
States chamber of commerce in Ar
gentina.
The bulletin is convinced that at
least 25 per cent of the letters sent
here from the United Estates bear a
two cent stamp instead of the five
cent postage required, This means
that the recipients not only are
obliged to pay the additional three
cents, but fine imposed by the
Argentine post Office regulations
equivalent to the deficiency, or a
total of six cents. Many circulars
and selling letters come with the
two cent stamp and cit may be
readily understood how annoying 1T
is to Argentine firms to have their
correspondence treated in such a
careless manner"
The bulletin also comments upon
"the lack of even rudimentary
knowledge of geography shown by
some American concerns in ad-
dressing letters. In cites the in
/ stance of an important letter ad-
dressed by the chamber of COM
merce of one of the largest Ameri-
can cities to the stock exchange in
"Buenos Aires Brazil" The ignor-
ance displayed of the location of a
city of nearly 100000 population
is to say the least not especially
/ flattering to our Argentine friends,
who are very proud of Buenos
Aires as being the metropolis of
South America"

Opening Exercises Of The Woman's
College.

On last Thursday evening the op-
ening exercises of the Woman's COL
lege took place in Memorial Hall.
President Robinson called on Rev. J.
P. Pressly to make the invocation.
The President himself then made a
short address welcoming the large
audience and especially the new
students, who were present in large
numbers the largest in the history
of the college. The President Said
that they were fortunate in having
present with them the State Super
intedent J. E. .Swearingen, one who
took great interest in education and
who married a former pupil OF the
college.
Miss Scott of the instrumental de-
partment played a difficult and artis-
tic selection, showing to fine advan-
tage her skill and knowledge of mu-
sic.
Miss Boyd, one of the former in
strumental teachers followed with
an artistic selection that was well
received and applauded-
Miss Gaillard the principal OF
the vocal department rendered
beautifully: 30 Sole Mic" by Capua
and also "Nymphs and Fawns" by
Bembery. She was much applauded
Miss Gaillard was on the faculty last
year but was called home on ac'
count of her fathers sickness. The
president is pleased to have he1
back.
Miss Hayes of the expression de-
partment gave a reading. The Sc
lection, Counsel Retained" one
act play, was chosen. This selection
to afforded Miss Hayes opportunity
how her ability as an impersona-
tor and portrayer of character. She
gave the selection with much spirit
and dramatic power.
The presidents introduction OF
the State Superintendent of Educa-
ton was very complimentary. In Mr..
Swearingen's opening remarks he
was more than kind in his commen-
dation of the Woman's College and
of Erskine. The Superintendent
said that when he knew that grad
uate of the Woman's College had
charge of a school that she would
make good. He said that he felt es-
pecially pleased that the school in
terests of the state had Mr.. B. l..
Parkinson, a graduate of Ersklne,
as State School inspector. That he
would visit Due West. Mr.. Swearin-
gen discussed the state education
system very fully. He discovered
himself to be friendly to church
schools. The whole tenor of the
speech was that of Christian edu-
actor. He is a member of the Pres
byterian church. Our people were
very much pleased with the address
and thoroughly interested. We
heard DR.. Kennedy tell the speaker

Sir Auckland Geddes Addresses Con
gress.-Many Talks Heard On
Prohibition.

Washington, Sept. 21-Prohibition
in the United States has attracted
the attention of the world, Sir Auck-
land Geddes, British ambassador, de-
clared in addressing the opening ses-
sion of the 5th international congress

gress that detailed reports of its pro-
ceedings had been requested by his
home government and that the gov
ernments of other nations were un-
dertaking studies of the sociological
and economic effects of total abstin-
ence.
Practically all of the European ma
tions and number of the South Am
erican republics were represented at
the opening session, which was held
in the Pan-American building. After
greetings had been extended by AS
sistant Secretary of State Merle
Smith and Director General Rowe OF
the Pan-American union, replies were
made by the heads of the various for
eign delegations.
Much of the first session was TAX
en- up with the welcoming ceremonies
In effecting it's organization the con-
gress elected Edwin C. Dinwidde, for
mer legislative superintendent Of the
Anti-Saloon League of America
chairman to succeed Premier de Beer
enbrouck of the Netherlands, who
was made president of the nterna'
tional committee of the congress: E,
H. Cherrington of Westerville, Ohio
was chosen secretary of the congress
and of the international committee.
Delegates to the congress tonight
saw pageant entitled "The Spirit OF
Temperance" which was acted on the
east front of the capitol and which
depicted the progress of prohibition
in the United States. Later the dele
gates were guests at reception CIV
en- by the American executive COM
mittee at the Pan-American building.
Sir Auckland Geddes made his
statement relative to the attention
being paid by other nations to prohi-
bition in the United States in res
ponding for Canada, Australia ano
several other British dominions on
the roll call of the nations. The am
bassador said three departments of
his home government were "i'ntense-
ly interested" in the work of the con-
gress and named them as the home
office, the board of trade and the min
istry Of health.
Discussing prohibition from the
standpoint of a scientist, DR.. Eugene
Lyman Fiske, medical director of
Life Extension institute, New York,
declared the human race could not
give a very satisfactory account of
its custody of the human body des-
pite the development attained thru

them opium, arms and intoxicants

Article % has the significance of in
ternational appreciation that the
three specific things they promise TO
prohibit in mandatory countries are
evils which the world should prevent.
"Article % therefrom becomes the
basis for good men everywhere to
agitate in their own country to pre-
vent arms falling in the hands of per-
sons either weak of will power or
with evil purposes, to prevent the
traffic in liquor or in human beings.
The promise to mandatory peoples
will thus become beacon to light the
