Pa. “I was all run down and weak inwardly. I had female troubles and nervous feehnes and my head both ered me. I would often have crying spells and feel as if I was not safe. If I heard anyone com ing I would run and lock the door so they would not see me. I tried several doc tors and they did not help me so I said to my mother 'I guess mb I will have to die as there is no help for me. ’ She got me one of your little books and my husband said I should try one bottle. ' I stopped the doctor’s medicine and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It soon made a change in me and now I am strong and do all my work.’’—Mrs. Augustus Baughman, Box 86, Enhaut, Pa.

You that started your pot pourri last spring have a start ahead of the rest, hut It isn’t too late yet. The suggestion is this: Make dainty, acceptable sa<*hcts of cheese cloth; these are best when measuring about 5x3 inches, haste around three sides, fill, not pack, with the sachet made In your pot pourri, baste remaining side together, then crochet all around with pink or hlne crochet cotton; the lavendar cotton Is also most at tractive. especially if you are so fortunate as to have sweet lavendar leaves In your own garden that can be used in the bag. I say use cheese cloth, not from a point of economy, although that should appeal to all of us, but because it gives out the perfume better than anything else, and is most attractive. If you haven’t prepared to make these sachets, do so now. Pick leaves wherever you can from geraniums, especially the apple and spice; from lemon verbena, lavendar and the shattering roses. Spread them out to dry, adding, as I told you before, a pinch of cinnamon, mace and cloves, put In an open box to dry. Os course, with stove or fire heat this doesn't take long. Dry in a room that is heated, but not In a stove, for that destroys odor. Remember, that any spicy, sweet-smelling leaf from your garden may be used. If you wish your gift to be more elab orate, tie two or more of the sachets together with a bit of ribbon. You can be very sure that anybody will be glad of a gift like this, for your teachers, if they are girls, it will be lovely. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA. Dorris Danforth, Lenox, Ga., Route 1; Irene Rooks.

I am glad Aunt Julia suggests the idea of thinking what we should do for Christmas, as It is only two months and one day til Christinas. Guess I had better ring off for ALL RUN-DOWN AND NERVOUS Says This Lady Who Had" to Support Family of Four. Read Below Her Statement About Cardui Tallapoosa, Ga,—Mrs. Sallie Eidson, of this place, writes: "I was in very poo- health, all run-down, nervous, had fainting spells, dizziness and heart flut tering. I had these symptoms usually at my . . . times, f had a very hard time, working for seven years tn a hotel after my father died. I had to support our family of four. 1 read the Birthday- Almanac and thought 1 would begin taking Cardui 1 received good benefit from It. I am sure it will do all that tt claims to do. It took three or four bottles before It began to show effects. After that I improved rapidly and gain ed in health and strength. I took nine bottles in all. This is the only time I* have taken it. I was down to 108 pounds and I gained to 122. 1 felt like a new woman. T couldn’t sleep before and had to be rubbed, I would get so nervous and numb. And all this was stopped by Cardui." • The true value of a medicine can be determined only by the results obtained from its actual use. The thousands of letters we have received every year for many years from grateful users of Car dui are powerful tributes to its worth and effectiveness. , If you suffer from womanly ailments, try Cardui. the woman'■ tonla—-tAdvt,) ■gifts conducted by LESS TRAVEL WITH KIGHTB BAIL ROAD FARE When stage coaches were the only public convenience for pasesnger trans portation, I was a small girl. The stage coaches that came from Augusta and Savannah, going north, went on to Nash ville. Tenn., by connecting stage routes. Ten cents a mile was the universal stage fare, long or short haul. It was a necessity, because the - public roads were not made smooth, to hurt. There were series to cross streams and four horses to be kept in good trim—to run ten miles at a time. I was very familiar with those stage coaches in my childhood. They had a stopping place at my father's ‘house and there were meals to be furnished to hungry passengers. It was the heavy rates on stage coaches that made the legislature of Georgia pass an act to build the Western and Atlantic railroad withthe people's tax money. There was a stock company called the Georgia Railroad and Banking company that was bluilding a railroad from Augusta to the inital point at Marthasville, now Atlanta. Another railroad from Savan nah was constructed to Macon. These roads had to charge high rates for a long time for transportation of passen gers and freight. Five cents a mile was charged on railroad tickets long after the civl war on the Western and Atlantic railroad. But the rates came down and down, until finally the price declined to two cents a mile—and like letter postage, the increase in revenue was great. The leases of this state road have been paying a rental of thirty-five thousand dollars a month for nearly thirty years—and made big money. They will pay forty-five thousand a wheik the present lease expires. When rail-' roads raise their rates there will be higher ticket and freight rates and few e people will travel. I paid a tariff of sixteen cents over the usual rate when I went to Atlanta on yesterday and returned. It may be a war necessity to tax letters and railroad fare, but the common, people will economize on both. doctcbikg your children. I read with much interest in Sunday’s Journal some remedies for children s ail ments. It is a timely topic. As cold weather conies along colds will also come along; croup also, not to mention such ills as pneumonia, pleurisy and catarrh. A child taking on a cold will usually grow feverish as a starter. Sometimes it comes with a chill. I was accustomed to give babies a dose of castor oil with sugar dissolved in the oil, grease their feet after a warm bath, and it generally broke up an incipient cold. When it lasted longer than twenty-four hours with fever the doctbr was sent for. 1 had heavy experience with croup, the sort that made one very uneasy. When it seemed as if it would become neces sary to insert a tube to give easier breathing I have given a large dose of calomel, enough to vomit the patient, with success. When a sleeping child be gins to breathe hard and every breath a whistle, the time is come to work hero ically. We had a considerable negro family before the war and during the war. I doctored them, with syrup in which cook ing soda was/Stirred. It is an excellent remedy still. colic I doctored with catsup tea, warm and sweet. If catsup was too mild, then I poured a lit tle hot water over a fragment of asso fietlda and sweetened it with syrup or sugar. That failing to check colic, I found a little calomel, followed by oil, with a mild sedative, would do the work. 1 had a good deal of earache myself. I had one or more risings In my ear that were exquisitely painful. A few drops of sweet oil and a drop or two of lauda 1 num, heated and poured In my ear, gen- I erally allowed me to ko to sleep again. That failing, my mother had the tea | pot filled and then she put the spout i in rfiy ear, holding me in her lap with a ; warm shawl about my head to keep the steam, close to the ear. When my little I ones had "growing pains,” I massaged I the little aching legs during the long I hours of the night. Mother’s warm hand. Fwith a simple liniment to rub in. gener ally made the little sufferer comfortable. My remedy for colic that resulted from j eating too much and of unhealthy things ; was a dose of salts or castor oil to move off the unpleasant cause. this time as 1 fear that monster waste basket. Annt Julia, 1 boi>e you will print this as 1 want to surprise papa and matnn. With best wishes to Aunt Julia and cousins. ILA OSBORNE. Abbeville, S. C., R. F- R. 5.

IN PLAIN TERMS SUNDAY DISSECTS CHURCH OF TODAY Evangelist Soundly Scores All Manner of “Isms” and Warmly Praises Work of Wesley and Others Billy Sunday, in plain terms, Sunday afternoon told a big congregation which gathered at. the Jackson street taber nacle what was the matter with the present-day church and raked each one individually over the coals for their lax ity in religion. The evangelist soundly scored the doctrines of Buddhaism, Hanafism. Kab talistism and Eddyism and warmly praised the work of Wesley, Whitfield. Finney and Moody. The sulyect of Mr. Sunday's sermon was “II TTmothy 2:15. “Study to Show Thyself Approved Unto God, a Work man That Needeth Not To Be Asham ed, Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth.” Mr. Sunday began by declaring that there never was a time when people seem to be more self-centered, self complacent than in this day and time. "Some how the average man or wom an,” he said, "imagines that when God strikes a balance at the end of the world the man that lives a passably decent life and has been generous and philan thropic. and lias been true to his wife and marriage vows, he will stand just as good a chance to get to heven as the fellow that’s been on the firing line for Jesus Christ, and for truth, and held up the bleeding form of Christ as God’s ultimatum for sin and man’s only hope of redemption. And -as a result we have got a natural fruitage from that, and that Is a stoic indifference to man’s lost condition, because the impression seems to prevail that religion is a mat ter whereby people can develop to a state of perfection because of some in herent power within themselves.” It was here that Mr. Sunday spoke of the sun worshippers and what he term ed the ‘‘rankest isms and schisms" the world has ever known. Mr. Sunday registered a strong ob jection to America becoming the back door yard for Europe to dump her pau pers. He declared that he was not against any man or woman born across the sea, but that many of them came to this country “with just money and morals enough to escape the paup«r and criminal laws, and they settle in our cities Snd they refuse to assimilate our laws and they become carbuncles on the neck of the body politic and they have turned the American idea of the Sabbath into a continental idea of the Sabbath day.” Mr. Sunday criticized the method of the modern-day precher and told his herers that "we need something that will put ginger and tobasco sauce, and pepperlno into our veins for God and EARN SSO GOLD TBROIAMII 521* MW Words Can Yon Make WE DO IT U Now here is a puzzle that is a prize winner.

D ...State for His cause and for His truth.” “I tell you men and women and min isters.” he shouted, “the pressing de mand of our time is for a revival of the preaching of the old-time religion. Oh, we’ve got to get back to Christ; we’tfe got to get back to the apostolic and we've got to get back to the courage and bravery of our forefathers. Oh. where the of spirit cuts its way through all opposition to wonderful vic tories, and tears mean repentence for their sins. "Sir. you give yourself up to the be lief thAt the Bible is a good book, but other books are as good. That’s the truth and it’s error as well, and I tell you what will happen. You will wreck your faith on the barren reefs of a shallow liberalism. I’ll tell you another thing here. The church has been vic torious just in proportion as she has been evangelistic and any church that is not evangelistic owes the community an apology for its useless, good-for nothing. God-forsaken existence. “And so, the evangelistic preaching is needed. Science has put a new dress on sin. Man is no longer a thief; he is a kleptomaniac. He is longer a drunk en, whisky-soaked bum: he’s a dipso maniac. It’s no longer adultery; it is affinity. And when a woman passed up her husband for some other man it was because of her artistic temperament. Mr. Sunday’s address did not deal with the church alone, which he said was his spiritual mother, but with the church members. He said that the members needed to be faithful in dis cipline, that they should not look for Sunday amusements or keep their stores open on Sunday. “I know of a church," Mr. Sunday said. "Presbyterian at that, whieh voted to make an old man an elder. He used to sit out on the bleachers at a Sun day baseball game. I played baseball, the cleanest game in America, but I never played it on Sunday—l am not in favor of Sunday amusements of any kind." “I know of a fellow who used to keep his store open on Sunday to accommo date a few straggling customers. He shut up the store one day in three months to go around to the church and pass the communion plate. “I know of a family that used to sit In a church clothed in sealskins and satins, furs, silks, with their diamonds scintillating, and that man. to my knowledge, owned two solid blocks of houses —every one of them rented for a house of ill-fame. He owned fifteen pieces of property and there were sa loons in eleven of them. And when the preacher brought that matter before the officials to apply.the discipline, do you know, sir, he was forced to resign and get out. "Oh. whoever heard of turning a man out of the church worth five, hundred thousand dollars? But if a man was working for two bones a day—get out of here.” "That’s Hie great trouble with the church, my friends. Oh, through tat tered clothes small vices do appear; robes and fur gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold and the strong hand of Jus tice hurls bricks: armed in rags, and a pigmy’s straw clout will pierce it to the heart.” "So it makes all the difference in the world whether you’ve got your name in Bradstreet’s or R. G. Dun or not. “Then I say this: Here’s the trou ble with us. »The time has cyne to get right, I think, 'or get out. Many in the church have gone astray. We haven't gone to bring them back and we have allowed others to sit unrebuked in their sins and in their hypocrisy. Oh, let’s be faithful in our discipline, whether 'the sinner, my friends, ts rich or. whether he is poor. Help him to live with God."
