CLIMBED STAIRS ON HER HANDS Toofllto Walk Upright. Operation Advised. Saved by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This woman now raises chickens and • does manual labor. Read her story: Richmond. Ind.—“For two years I was so sick and weak with troubles when going up stairs I had to go very slowly with my hands on the steps, then sit down at the top to rest. The doctor said he thought I should have an operation, and my friends thought I would not live to move into our new house* My daughter asked me to trv Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound as she had taken it with good results. I did so. my weakness dis appeared. I gained in strength, moved into our new home, did all kinds of garden work, shoveled dirt, did build ing and cement work, and raised hun dreds of chickens and ducks. I can not sav enough in praise of Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound and if these facts are useful you may pub lish them for the benefit of other women. -Mrs. M. O.

Expreso Oft RED No MT GUARD PLACED OVER 1 HAW 85 HOPE FOR LIFE BRIGHTENS Friends Say Suicide Probably Was Suggested by Act of Bernard Lewis—Mother Not to Visit Son By Associated Press.) PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 12.—Harry K. Thaw, who slashed his throat with a razor and cut an artery in his wrist in an atenipt to commit suicide here yes terday. will be able to leave the hospital within two weeks unless he also swal lowed poison tablets, according to state ments of his physicians early today. Several poison tablets which produce a slow death, were found in his pockets and. ft he took any of them it may be twenty-tour lours before tne symptom* manifest themselves, the doctors say. Thaw said he was hungry during the night and was given food several limes but efforts of the detectives to get him io talk proved futile beyond the state ment that he was glad he had not suc ceeded in ending his life. Inquiries as to whether he had taken poison met with no response. Detectives are on guard at Thaw’s bedside and a warrant for his arrest is ready to be served the moment he is considered out of danger. The detectives had instructions to see that no one talked to the patient ’aside from his at tendants and that he did not attempt to remove the bandages from his wounds. Assistant District Attorney Black, of New X ork. was expected here today to make arrangements to have him remov ed to New York as soon as possible. EEARED BLACKMAIL. Thaws attempt at self destruction was the climax to a search for him which began here Tuesday. He. is want ed by the New York authorities on charges of kidnaping and assaulting Frederick Gump, Jr., the nineteen-year old Kansas City high school jouth. Ac cording to a private detective employed by the Thaw family the slayer of Stan ford White told him the Gump charges were an attempt at blackmail and that I he was planning to surrender to the New York police rather than be “treated like an ordinary prisoner.” He had been 1 at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Tacot, in West Philadelphia, where he was found weak from the loss of blood from his wounds and a blood-stained razor by his [ side since early Tuesday morning. It had been generally believed that he had left the city and the first intimation the police had of his presence at the West Philadelphia house was when they were 1 notified by the private detective that i he had attempted to commit suicide. He had been introduced at the Tacot home as "Mr. West." the detective declaring that he wanted to keep Thaw in seclu sion until he was in a fit condition to face the New York authorities.

Sick headache, bikousness. coated tongue, head and nose clogged up with a cold —always trace this to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, sassy stomach.

When tbs poison reaches the delicate Lra.n tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache.

WESTFIELO IS PURE FOOD CAPITAL Bi M ACCIDENT College Girl in Massachusetts Ate Jam, Which Caused .an Investigation WESTFTEED. Mass.. Jan. 13.—West field. pure food capital of America.” is showing the country this week how it became the pure food center of the na tion! A pure food show is being held, repre senting the twelfth anniversary of the work of Prof. Lewis B. Allyn, organiz er and chief of the pure food movement here. Foods complying with the "Westfield Standard’’ are being snown by business men and housewives who have taken active interest in the movement. Westfieid is a typical New England city of 20.000 and dependent suburbs make it a buying center for nearly 30,- 000 people. It is one of the wealthiest small di ties in the northeast. An accident made Westfield what it is. Girls of the State Normal school here, in 1904. were taken sick after eating strawberry jam. When Dr. Allyn analyzed the jam he found almost every thing except strawberries in it. It rous ed him and his students to a campaign for pure food. Under Dr. Allyn's leadership the girls analyzed foods they bought dn local stores and published the results. There was a loud cry from the storekeepers and especially the manufacturers. But the campaign was so persistent the grocers finally were won over to Dr Allyn’s movement. The Westfield health department backed Dr. Allyn, with the result that housewives refused to buy any foods blacklisted by him. Dr. Allyn toured the country, and showed the people what to eat with safe ty The "Westfield Standard” became a household word in many cities of the United States. Dr. Allyn continues to advertise lit by lecturing and writing. Have You a Chronic Illness? If you have you will surely be inter ested in the Bodi-Tone trial offer which is printed on the last page of this pa per. Bodi-Tone, which is now seven years old. has made a great record in such cases. The manufacturers believe in it, for they will send you a box to try, no matter how old, hard or obsti nate j - our case may be. If it does not help you, vou need not paj - for it. (Advt.) Georgia Troops’ Return Uncertain; War Secretary Writes Governor Harris Governor Harris Saturday morning r< cmv*d a letter from Secretary of War NevtMl D. Baker, in which he stated that it could not be stated at this time when the Georgia soldiers now on the border woulr be sent back home and mustered out. The secretary’s letter was in reply to the letter addressed to him and Presi dent Wilson by the governor, who en closed the resolutions adopted by the Savannah mass meeting and letters from a number of leading Georgians reouest ing that the boys be sent home in the next contingent to be returned from the border * Secretary Baker wrote th<t while he appreciated the sacrifices that ’were be ing made by the Georgia boys and the desire of Their friends to have them at home, still the question of sending them back was one which must be de termined by the situation on the border and this question was left to the discre tion of General Funston, who Is in com mand at the border. The secretary also said the time the troops arrived on the border was not the only thing to be considered when it comes to relieving them from service. Mississippi Planter Murdered at His Home NATCHEZ, Miss. Jan. 1 4.—R. F. Gib son, a well known young planter, was found shot to death in the doorway of his home in tthe Kingston neighborhood, eighteen miles from "here, Friday.

When the change began to be percep tible T knew that I was not prepared to undergo it, and knowing of the virtues of ‘Favorite Prescription,’ I soon supplied myself with it and took it until I was firmly convinced that all danger of ill consequences were past. My general health and strength were very low and I was too weak to do my little household duties. The nervous system was so depressed that I would fairly shake and tremble, with palpita tion of the heart and dizziness, and what seemed sparks of fire before my eyes. My heart would feel so queer and nerves were so unstrung that I did not rest well through the night, and the smothering would not allow me to lie flat in bed.

NO POLITICAL PLUMS IN THE FAHM LOAN BANKS • - Board to Consider Only Merit, Efficiency, and Ability in Appointments WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—The federal farm loan board has accomplished the first of its important labors of organi zation in having completed the division of the country into twelve districts and located in twelve cities the twelve fed eral land banks which are expected to become the great centers of farm finance of the future. This task it has accomplished with success. Very little criticism has been uttered as to the manner in which the country has been divided, and it is an open secret that the members of the board are well sat isfied with the result. The board has now taken up the next phase of its work, the organization of the twelve banks.. This it regards as even more important in its influence on the future of the farm borrowers of the nation, than the work just completed. This task is the appointment of the men who will manage the twelve bans. Great pressure is being exerted on the members of the, board to appoint men with ••backing,’’ me of "influence" in both parlies, especially the Demo cratic party, since three of the mem bers are Democratic and two Repub licans. There are sixty directors to be appointed by the board, five for each of of the twelve banlss. These are good plums, since from the directors will be selected for each bank a president, a secretarj'. a treasurer, and a vice pres ident who will be the njanaging officers of the land banks and receive good sal aries. In addition to these directors, there will be for each bank a regis trar, to act as the fiduciary agent of the government in the matter of hold ing the mortgages taken and conduct ing the Important business relating to the issuance of federal farm loan bonds to be sold to investors, and a force of appraisers who will actually view and appraise the farms offered as security for loans. These men also will receive salaries as a matter of course, and if the jobs could be given out as political (plums the federal farm loan board would have anywhere from 150 to 200 to hand out. NOT POLITICAL PLUMS. It may be stated without qualifica tion that these jobs will not be handed out as political plums. The only con sideration which will be taken into ac count is that of merit, efficiency, and ability. There is no division of opin ion among the members of the board as to this principle. "The whole future of the farm loan system.” said one member of the board, “depends on the personnel of the banks. The federal land arc really noth ing but a great system of farm loan companies. To be sure, the government will furnish a few millions to start with, but the government’s money will soon be returned to it, and then the whole system will be owned and operated by the farmers themselves through their national farm loan associations. We are really charged with the duty of ap pointing the management of great co operative loan companies, as agents for the farmers for whom they will work. If we should be so unwise as to ap point these men for anything but merit, the farmers would condemn us for in flicting on their loan system twelve po litical machines; and when they secured control they would oust ,our appointees, as they should. "We must, if we do our duty, ap point just such men as any good com mittee of business men would appoint to run loan companies. No other ap pointees will commend themselves to the farmers. What are the qualifica tions of men who are expected to do successfully the work of managing these land banks? First, they must be good farm loan men. Second, they must be such loan men as will commend themselves by their conservatism and wisdom to the farmers themselves. To appoint any other class of men would be destructive of the system itself. TO CONSULT INVESTORS. “There is another class of men whose ideas must be consulted. There are the investors from whom th# farmers must borrow money through the. land banks The banks must do exactly the same amount of business with investors as with farmers. For every thousand dol lars lent to farmers, the banks must sell farm loan bonds to the same amount to investors If the Investors look on the farm loan bonds as perfectly sound, safe, prime securities, they will buy them and accept a low rate of interest on them; and if they do this the farm ers will get. a low rate of interest on their loans. Therefore, the management of the federal land banks must com mend itself to investors as well as to farmers. When our bonds are offered on the investment market, the persons in charge of the banks will be very care fully scrutinized by investors. If in vestors should find in charge of the banks a lot of men appointed on ac count of political pull or through per sonal favoritism,, they either will not buy the bonds at all, or they will re quire a high rate of. interest, thus mak ing the rate high to the farmer. They will not find any such political or per sonal machines in the management of the banks. They will find the banks in the hands of men as expert in the farm loan business as any Ipan companies now operating. They wtll find men in charge whose characters will be an as surance that when an appraiser says a farm is good security for a loan, it will be good security, worth at least twice the money loaned on it; that the type of farming pursued by the owner of the farm is a safe type; that the title is good; that the loan committee of the land bank is composed of as good men as the loan committee of any bank in any town or city: and that the business of the bank is checked up at proper in tervals by a board of directors who know not only the loan business but the lands on which loans are being made. “There is no member of this board who has a personal candidate for any position to be given out. None of us have any personal or political debts to pay. and if we had. there is not a man of us who would pay any such debts at the expense of the federal farm loan system. And it is a great pleasure to us nil to be able to state that every senator and congressman who has dis cussed the matter any member of the board accepts this policy as the only proper one, and while the pressure on them for jobs is tremendous, they heartily agree with us that merit and merit onlj’ must be the test of fitness for appointment under the federal fa»m loan act. “One United States senator called on a member of the board and asked what indorsements would be necessary for ap pli>.-ants for positions. ‘Exactly the same indorsements.' said the board merrfc her. ‘that you would require from ap plicants for similar positions tn a com pany formed to lend your own money on farms.’ And this is the position of every member of the federal farm loan board. For any other class of men to seek appointment on tile personnel of the federal land banks is quite use less.” PLANS ABOUT COMPLETE FOB FEBRUABY LIND SHOW "Movie” Contest, Soil Exhib its, Dance and Midway Will Be Features* • V The preparations for the great South eastern lAnd Show and Midwinter Ex position, to be held in Atlanta from Feb ruary 1 to February 15, are almost com pleted and the success ot the enterprise is now assured.

Alabama, Florida and South Carolina are thoroughly awake to the importance of the show, and a large at tendance is assured. The states of the southeast will soon reap the benefits of an exposition, the results of which cannot be overestimat ed. It ds believed that one of those re sults will be a tide of immigration which will not only add to the population, but will devel-'p this section in away that nothing else could have done. Not only will there be three land ex hibits, but many side features have beln added which will make the show as at tractive as any exposition ever held in the southeast. GREAT FILM STAGE CONTEST.

E. ASHER, President w Banner Tailoring Co. Dept 513 Chicago Keeps Her Children In Perfect Health Dr. Caldwell 1 s Syrup Pepsin the Family Laxative for Many Years Mrs. Aug. of Carlyle, 111., recently wrote to Dr. Caldwel, at Mon ticelo. 111., that she has used Dr. CaM well’s Syicp Pepsin in her home for a number of years, and would not be with out it, as with it she has been able to keep her four children L: perfect health. Dr. Caldwell's. Syrup Pepsin is a com bination of simple laxative herbs witn pepsin that acts on the bowels in an easy natura! way, and regulates the action of this most important function- Nearly all the sickness to which children are subject is traceable to bowel inaction, and a mild, dependable laxative, such as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin should have a place in every family medicine chest. It i. pleasant to the U.ste and children like it, and take it readily, .while it >» equally effective for adults. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is sold iTi drug- stores everywhere for fifty cents a bottle. To avoid imitations and inef fective substitutes be sure you get Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. See that a fac simile of Dr. Caldwell’s signature ana cial arrangements made by Alabama exhibitors. It is expected that some of the most famous film producers and movie stars will be in the city during the show and will attend the grand ball. Added to all of these will be the "Bo hemia,” an indoor midway where there will be many amusement features that will make the show a midwinter expo sition indeed. “Bohemia” will be open each day and until 11 o’clock at night. This will be Atlanta’s first indoor mid way and carnival of fun. What is the. land show and why is it being given? That question may still be asked by some people. The management answers. That the Southeastern Land Show and Midwinter Exposition will be such an exhibit of tly lands in the southeast as to give full' information about ajl the available lands in the four states of Georgia, Alabama, Florida and South Carolina. There will be booths in which maps will be exhibited to show the lands, the water streams, the railroad facilities, the roads and their condition, the climate, the value of the soil, the location of schools and churches, the rainfall, to-l gether.with the prices, and tax rates. There will be community exhibits from several counties to- show soil analysis and products, minerals? natural grasses and drainage. Other booths will contain the best of modern farm and good roads ma chinery. , . . ■ . Tn fact, those who visit the show will have a complete description of the lands of the southeast. If they desire afterwards to visit the lands in person they can do so on a special side trip at greatly' reduced rates from Atlanta to any point in the four states. The show will be the place where buy- 1 er and seller meet, and with the busi ness, fun and amusement will be com bined in abundance to make the sho<’ one of enjoyment as well as profit. . i ■ -■■ ■» f ■ i an no I Am The Spectacle Man I am putting on the market a Spectacle that can’t be beat, and I am goins to prove it to you. NO! better still, I am going to let you be the judge and prove it to yourself without costing you a cent. ' ’ Listen, Friend. Let you and I get together. Answer me this simple ques tion: If you needed a horse, a dog, or a cow, and a man came to you and said I have got a good horse I want to trade you, and to prove he is a good horso you can try him for a week or ten days, and if you don’t care for him, retunl him to me. Wouldn’t you think that a square proposition?
