PELLAGRA CURE
SAVES HER LIFE
Oakville, Tenn.—Mrs. L. B. Babb, of
this place, writes: “Three months and a
half ago when 1 wrote you, I didn’t think
I would live to see Christmas again, but
now it is Christmas and I am enjoying it
fine. I cannot praise Baughn’s Pellagra
Remedy enough. I believe I could eat
most anything there is to eat now. My
weight was 81 when I started your treat¬
ment. I now weigh 03 pounds, about my
average weight for fifteen years past.
Baughn’s Pellagra Remedy will do what it
claims to do if the patient will follow di¬
rections as I have done.”
There is no longer any doubt that pel¬
lagra can be cured. Don’t delay until it is
too late. It is your duty to consult the
resourceful Baughn.
The symptoms—hands red like sunburn,
skin peeling off, sore mouth, the lips,
throat and tongue a flaming red, with
much mucus and choking, indigestion and
either diarrhoea or constipation.
There is hope; get Baughn’s big Free
book on Pellagra and learn about the
remedy for Pellagra that has at last been
found. Address American Compounding

“Did you ever stop to consider how
many germs accumulate on a dollar

“In the hour of my need I never

lar bills to stuff a pillow by merely
sleeping on them, I would gladly avail
myself of the opportunity.”

Gentleman (laughing, hollowly) —
You call these here scrambled egs?
You mean it’s a scrambled half egg.
His Wife—Oh, now Henry! This
salad is so good!
Gentlemaji (darkly)—If I’d wan to k

I’d have stayed at home.
His Wife (despairingly)—For my

this chicken?
Gentleman (making a concession

CLEAR-HEADED.
Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.
The chief bookkeeper in a large
business house in one of our great
Western cities speaks of the harm
coffee and tea did for him:
“My wife and I drank our first cup
of Postum a little oyer two years
ago, and we have used it ever since,
to the entire exclusion of tea and
coffee. It happened in this way:
"I had an attack of pneumonia,
which left me with dyspepsia, or neu¬
ralgia of the stomach. My ‘cup of
cheer’ had always been coffee or tea.
but 1 became convinced, after a time,
that they aggravated my stomach
trouble. I happened to mention the
matter to my grocer one day and he
suggested that I give Postum a trial.
"Next day it came, and we liked it
so much that we will never change
back; for I am a well man today and
have used no medicine.
“My work as chief bookkeeper in
our Co’s branch house here is of a
very confining nature. During my cof¬
fee drinking days I was subject to
nervousness and the ‘blues’ in addi¬
tion to my sick spells. These have
left me since I began using Postum
and I can conscientiously recommend
it to those whose work confines them
to long hours of severe mental exer¬
tion.”

Postum comes in two forms:
Postum Cereal —the original form—
must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pack¬
ages.
Instant Postum —a soluble powder—
dissolves quickly in a cup of hot wa¬

a delicious beverage instantly. 30c

Both kinds are equally delicious and
cost about the same per cup.

THE WEEK’S EVENTS
Important News of the State, Nation,
and World Told in a Few Lines
for Your Convenience.
ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD
A Condensed Record of Happening*
of Interest From All Points
of the World.
European War
Germany has sent her reply to the
United States which is expected to
precipitate trouble between the two
nations. The German government
contends it was justified in sinking
the Lusitania inasmuch as the’boat
conveyed Canadian troops and war
munitions.
The Turkish soldiers are reported
to have repulsed the allied land forc¬
es on the Gallipoli peninsula. The
Moslems were highly praised for their
valor by the French war office.
German submarines have torpedoed
several British merchantmen and a
Russian steamer off Fair island in the
Shetlands.
England has suffered still another
severe loss in the Dardanelles when
the battleship Majestic was sunk by
a Turkish or German submarine im¬
mediately following the sinking of the
battleship Triumph. The entire crew
of the Majestic was saved.
Germany’s note to the United States
has been framed by Baron von Jagow,
the imperial foreign minister, and
handed to Ambassador Gerard for
transmittal to Secretary Bryan at
Washington. Germany offers to tem¬
porize with America regarding the Lu¬
sitania, asking if that vessel carried
a cargo of war munitions.
Speeches bitter with invective have
been uttered in the reichstag denounc¬
ing Italy as a traitor among nations.
Admiral Jackson has succeeded Lord
Fisher as first sea lord of the Brit¬
ish admiralty in the new cabinet.
Fisher resigned because of differences
with Winston Churchill, former first
lord of the admiralty.
Another British battleship, Qie Tri¬
umph, has been sunk in the Darda¬
nelles by a German or Turkish sub¬
marine. All but six of the crew were
saved. This makes England’s fourth
loss in the straights and the fifth to
the Anglo-French fleet storming the
Turkish forts. The other sunken war¬
ships were the British men-of-war
Ocean, Irresistible and Goliath, and
the French warship, Bouvet.
The Italian campaign in southwest
Austria is continuing uninterrupted,
according to advices from the Roman
war office. The Austrians have been
retreating befcfo tho advance of their
new enemy.
The Nebraskan,, an American own¬
ed steamship recently chartered to the
White Star line for several ocean

ter.
Italy has suspended the parcel post
with all countries and notified the Uni¬
ted States that all parcels sent to that
country will be returned to the send¬
ers.
Constantinople advices report a
land battle at the southern extremity
of the Gallipoli peninsula between the
Moslem and allied troops, in which
the French and English were routed,
leaving 2,000 dead on the field. There
is great rejoicing in Constantinople.
Germany is now busied with at¬
tempting to keep Roumania out of the
war. Bulgaria has declared she will
in no way interfere unless her own in¬
terests demand her entrance into the
struggle.
Domestic
New York police in evening clothes
are watching the cabaret shows in all
the restaurants and cafes.

erican steamer, Ryndam, which was

in New York, denounced in bitter
terms the leaders of the American
Federation of Labor for exercising a
power which he says has become ex¬
cessive and detrimental to the public
weal and the good of society.
Mexican bandits are reported to
have killed two Americans, Texas
rangers, on the Texas plains near the
Rio Grande.
The deep waterway bill of Governor
Dunne of Illinois has passed the legis¬
lature at Springfield after a bitter
fight. This now insures a canal con¬
necting the Chicago and Illinois rivers,
which will make a direct water route
between Lake Michigan and the gulf.
The bill carries an appropriation of
$5,000,000 for the undertaking, and will
probably equal in importance the Ft.
Wayne canal in Indiana 1 which will
connect Lakes Michigan and Erie.
The American Lutheran synod, in
session at Akron, Ohio, has unani¬
mously endorsed President Wilson’s
administration and his peace policies
regarding the European confieot and
the Mexican attitude.
Charles Becker, former lieutenant of
the New York police staff, convicted
as one of the murderers of Herman
Rosenthal, the New York gambler,
must die in the electric chair at Sing
Sing within the next six weeks unless
executive clemency is procured. This
possibility is remote as Governor
Whitman was the attorney A-ho suc¬
cessfully prosecuted Becker.
THE ELLIJA4T ELLUAY.
The hearing of the prison board of
appeals for commutation of the sen¬
tence of Leo Frank have been begun
in Atlanta. A protest has been filed
by Hugh M. Dorsey, solicitor general
who secured Frank’s conviction.
A committee of prominent Ameri¬
cans has issued a call for a meeting in
Philadelphia June 17 for the purpose
of establishing an International Peace
League. One of the leading spirits of
the movement is former President
Taft.
Lassen Peak, the California volca¬
no, is again in eruption, mud and lava
pouring down the mountain sides in
great floes. Many of the surround¬
ing farms at the foot of the moun¬
tain have been destroyed.
The Arizona board of pardons com¬
muted the sentence of five Mexicans
sentenced to hang at the same time
and recommendation was made to
Governor Hunt that each hang sepa¬
rately.
Leo Frank, Atlanta manufacturer
convicted of the murder of little Mary
Phagan, and Jim Conley, the negro
who confessed he was Frank's accom¬
plice in the crime, were brought face
to face to testify in the suit brought
by the murdered girl’s mother to re¬
cover damages from the National Pen¬
cil company for her child’s loss. Con¬
ley's liberation came on the date the
testimony was taken. Frank is sen¬
tenced to hang.
Mrs. Arthur H. Noyes of Cranston,
R. I., was electrocuted while holding a
telephone receiver in one hand and
the handle of a vacuum cleaner in the
other, a short circuit being completed.
Foreign
King Constantine’s condition Is re¬
ported somewhat improved, though he
is considered by no means out of
danger. A special arrived in Athens
from Berlin who feels that an opera¬
tion may not be necessary.
President Arriaga of Portugal has
resigned. For some time grave fears
have been entertained of an attempt
on his life.
Two of the many treaties pending
between China and Japan have at last
been signed by the Chinese republic’s
officials at Pekin. Great contention
will be noted in the next treaty, called
Group No. 5. The signed treaties are
said to be acknowledgments of Japan’s
withdrawal from certain demands
which excited the Japanese crowds to
rage in Tokyo who called Baron Kato,
the foreign minister, a traitor.
Forty persons were drowned in the
shipwreck of the Chilean steamer,
Maximaimo, off the coast of Santia¬
go, Chile.
Holland has protested to Germany
about the sinking of the Lusitania.
William Graves Sharp, American
ambassador to France, has been hon¬
ored by the French nation who ten¬
dered him a public celebration in rec¬
ognition of his splendid services dur¬
ing the present war, in furthering
peace proposals among the European
nations and for his relief work among
the Belgians.
Washington
Official Washing!on would make no
cbmment regarding the German note
forwarded by Ambassador Gerard, but
it is admitted in cabinet circles that
the situation was exceedingly grave be¬
tween the United States and Germa¬
ny, and that President Wilson is de¬
termined to carry his point expressed
in his recent note to the imperial
government.
President Wilson is expected tq no¬
tify both General Carranza and Villa
that the warring factions in Mexico
must come to some conclusion which
will make it possible for the United
States to recognize a government in
that republic which, has now been in
the throes of revolution for five
years. The president states princi¬
ple is no longer the object of the fight¬
ing, hut it has degenerated into mere¬
ly a war to determine the supremacy
of the leaders. His announcement
has quite stirred official Washing¬
ton.
Following his conference with Du¬
val West, his personal representative
to Mexico, President Wilson has an¬
nounced that he will serve notice on
the warring factions in that republic
that his patience is exhausted and
that peace must come, as the fighting
now is no longer for a principle, but
merely a test of supremacy between
leaders who wish to gain control of
the Mexican government.
Secretary Bryan has expressed
great gratification over the recently
signed triple peace treaties between
Argentine, Chile and Brazil, and says
it is a step in the accomplishment of
his policy for a greater unity of the
western hemisphere.
President Wilson is deeply concern¬
ed over the reported disabling of the
American steamer Nebraskan off the
Irish coast. His course has not yet
been determined until he received
full details and official information.
After a conference with Duval
West, his personal representative to
Mexico, President Wilson announced
there would be no immediate change in
the Mexican policy.
President Wilson has shown a sign
of restlessness over Germany’s delay
in answering the American note re¬
garding the Lusitania incident.
“The Americas for the Americans,"
was the enthusisastic cry that domi¬
nated the Pan-American financial con¬
ference held in Washington between
the representatives of the twenty-one
American republics. The leading spir¬
its of the conference were President
Wilson and Dr. Santiago Perez Triana,
the delegate from Columbia, who main¬
tained that the western world shall be
entirely independent of Europe here¬
after.
President Wilson denied the rumor
that he intends calling an extra ses¬
sion of congress in October. He said
he was crossing no bridges until they
were reached, and the rumor was pre¬
mature.
President Wilson has received Sher¬
wood Eddy, general Y. M. C. A., secre¬
tary for Asia, who reported some of
the prevailing conditions in the pres¬
ent Jap-Chinese crisis. Mr. Eddy
states that Christianity is making
great gains throughout the Chinese
republic and that nation is rapidly
awakening to play an important part
in the world’s future history.

HAD VISION OF BURGLARS
But Midnight Alarm Turned Out to Be
Something That Was Easily
Right
He liked lo'qster. The whole fam¬
ily liked them, in fact. So he brought
three of them home the other night.
They were alive, and he planned to
boil them in idle morning as usual. He
placed them on top of the refrigerator
in the back holl. That was a good
lpace for them to spend the night.
It was toward midnight that
the son came home. The rest of the
family was abed and asleep. As the
son stole into the pantry for his usual
forage before yetiring he heard a crash
and then a crawling, sickening scrim¬
mage that started his hair upright. Ha
sneaked quicklky through the kitchen
and up the stairs to his father’s cham¬
ber.
“Hey, dad!” in a husky whisper, that
brought awakening by its very tense¬
ness, “pass me your gun.”
“Huh? What's up?” asked his father
as he reached for and handed over
the weapon,,.^
“Burglars,’’whispered the son in
awe-struck tones. “They’ve got in at
the back door and are trying to open
the door into the kitchen."
“Dad followed his son softly down
the stairs without stopping for fu.ther
arguments or garments. Son walked
cannily ahead with leveled revolver
and pale face. They reached the
kitchen and.wjjstening, could hear
strange souifls in the back hall. Lights
were flashed and then with caution
and ready for the shock of discovery
they opened the door.
There on the floor with their legs,
twisted about each other lay two of
the lobsters, scrapping and fighting.
They had evidently started an argu¬
ment on the refrigerator and wriggled
off on to the floor, where they kept it
up.—Brocktui Enterprise.

SMALL MOTOR FOR DENTISTS
Does Away With Rather Cumbersome
Material Which Must Be Present
Be Used.
An electric motor, even in small
sizes, is quite heavy for the power it
yields. For this reason dentists have
been using a motor mounted on a
bracket and connected by a flexible
shaft with the point of application of
power. Recently, however, a minia¬
ture electric motor has been devised
for the dentist’s use which is so small
and weighs so little that it may be
connected directly to the dental
chucks and used as a hand tool, thus
doing away with the cumbersome uni¬
versal shaft. In place of the shaft a
light electric cord connects the motor
with a lamp socket. The motor is
one of the smallest ever made for
commercial use, Its weight is but five
and one-quarter ounces, and it is one
and three-quarters inches long by one
and one-quarter inches in diameter.
It uses only 12 watts and operates
at a speed of 15,000 revolutions per
minute.

Old Manx Hospitality.
The Isle of Man government, which
is concerned at the financial loss
caused by the requisition of passen¬
ger steamers for military purposes,
used at one time to legislate against
visitors from the mainland. One of
the very earliest laws on the Manx
statute book enjoined “all Scots to
avoid the land with the next vessel
that goeth into Scotland, upon pain
of forfeiture of their goods and bod¬
ies to prison.” Another enacted that
“Irish women loytering and not work¬
ing be commanded forth of this isle
with as much speed as may be.” The
first-mentioned law was the result of a
series of raids on the Manx coast by
a Galloway rover called MacCulloch.
Really Quite Arduous.
“Tillbury seems to have no trouble
in winning the favor of the fair sex.”
“No trouble? Are you aware that

“Quite so.’’

“I dare say it’s the outcropping in

tional that in other days made some
people want to drive a team

HOW TO CURE ECZEMA, ITCH
AND ALL SKIN DISEASES
Don’t suffer any longer with eczema
or any other skin trouble. Just apply
Hancock’s Sulphur Compound to the
parts affected and it will stop the itch¬
ing at once and cure the trouble per¬
manently. Many sufferers from skin
troubles have written us that the Sul¬
phur Compound cured them after
everything else failed. Mrs. Evelyn
Garst, of Salem, Va., writes: “Three
years ago I had a rough place on my
cheek. It would burn and itch. I was
fearful it might be of cancerous na¬
ture. I used different preparations,
but nothing helped it. One bottle of
Hancock’s Sulphur Compound cured
me completely.” To-beautify the com¬
plexion, remove blackheads and
pimples use Hancock’s Sulphur Oint¬
ment. For sale by all dealers.— Adv.
